Chapter 399: Xi Xi's Rebellion, Part 2: Family Conflict, My Precious Daughter is Seven Years Old [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 1)
Pressure!
As if a mountain was collapsing, the Milky Way was bursting and pouring down, fiercely impacting the physical body with immense pressure!
Feng Zhiqu's face turned extremely unsightly.
He looked at his leg that had just been raised and landed on the stone steps, feeling his entire leg was numb and unable to move.
Feng Zhiqu abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with overwhelming shock!
He could confirm that at this moment, Li Che had just broken through to the Martial Saint realm. Seeing the towering Martial Saint Thundercloud, Feng Zhiqu, who had broken through the Martial Saint realm once before, naturally recognized it as the Martial Saint Thundercloud, brewing the Martial Saint Thunderbolt!
However, why would Li Che, who had just broken through to the Martial Saint realm, give him such a powerful sense of oppression?
This didn't make sense!
But soon, a fiery glow appeared in Feng Zhiqu's eyes.
"Li Ban Sheng..."
"I feel it!"
Boom!
Feng Zhiqu's body resonated with a thunderous roar, and countless crimson qi and blood surged out like coiling dragons, striking and enveloping his surroundings, weaving around his physical body.
The mighty qi exploded from his body, and countless streams of qi seemed to be impacted by high-speed forces, fiercely spreading out in all directions, forming circular waves!
The falling rain in the sky burst open!
Feng Zhiqu's fighting spirit rose higher and higher, his fighting spirit soaring to the extreme. His martial will... seemed to have condensed into a tangible force, descending swiftly from the heavens.
He took a step forward and then another, climbing the mountain path. The terrifying pressure was sliced through by his sharp martial will, as if it were a blade.
"I, Feng Zhiqu, have practiced martial arts since childhood!"
"At the age of ten, I entered the realm of a master. Since then, I have spent my entire life in the pursuit of martial arts, wasting away my time on the peak of the martial path, aspiring to become the ultimate powerhouse, overlooking countless martial artists who strive to climb the ladder of martial arts!"
"Now, I am stuck at the third opening of the Martial Saint realm, sitting idly on the peak of the martial mountain for twenty years. But I am not content, I refuse to be stagnant here!"
"I will stand up on the mountain peak, look up at the sky, and see the heavenly gate!"
"I will pursue my own martial path!"
"No matter who stands in my way... I only seek a thrilling and exhilarating battle!"
Feng Zhiqu's eyes lit up.
His body became robust and sturdy, and the qi and blood intertwined endlessly, as if there were countless fiery dragon shadows surrounding him.
With each step he took, the flowing water-like accumulated water on the mountain path evaporated, forming twisted and curling mist.
Feng Zhiqu's speed increased rapidly!
He ran on the mountain path! He roared on the mountain road!
Bang!
Feng Zhiqu's entire body resonated, his muscles and bones humming in unison, his arms spread wide, as if countless sharp blades were bursting out from every pore.
Then, gathering and converging together, they transformed into a blade of qi and blood that seemed capable of slicing through the very heavens.
On the stone path halfway up the mountain.
Li Che opened his eyes, golden smoke swirling around him.
After completely refining the Ten Thousand Year Peach, Li Che underwent a tremendous transformation. Sitting in Ink City for over a month, Li Che finally found his martial path mountain in the vast Golden Sea of Qi.
In the instant he stepped onto the martial path mountain, Li Che felt a transformation in his own martial arts.
It was a more condensed and pure martial will, akin to the will of a Martial Immortal!
[Lion Elephant Fusion: Pure Martial Purity (96%)]
The complete refinement of a Ten Thousand Year Peach brought about a tremendous enhancement, and the transformed qi and blood were extremely pure, causing Li Che's pure martial body to reach a purity of 96% directly!
Li Che could feel the transformation of his flesh and blood, the changes in his tendons, bones, skin, and every inch of his flesh and skin!
Like an iron embryo forged a thousand times, removing impurities and becoming as sharp as a divine blade!
Dragon Sinew!
Elephant Bone!
The Lion Elephant Fusion was extremely compressed by Li Che, condensed to the smallest degree, and hidden within his five viscera and six entrails!
His eyes flickered, as if golden lightning flashed through.
On the mountain path, Feng Zhiqu was like a mad blood-red blade, swiftly slashing through, and wherever he passed, the stone steps embedded in the mountain path seemed to be sliced like a cake, leaving cracks!
But it was only a fleeting moment.
Feng Zhiqu appeared before Li Che with a face full of battle intent, transforming into a long blade, and fiercely punching out. Meanwhile, Li Che, sensing Feng Zhiqu's battle intent, clenched his five fingers, and his flesh and blood emitted a brilliant hum.
Golden qi and blood intertwined and entwined, without using the Mysterious Gate Divine Seed, nor detonating any divine seeds!
It was just the simplest punch!
A punch smashed out!
Yet, it emitted a clanging sound, soaring into the sky!
Feng Zhiqu pushed horizontally with his fist, like a blood-red divine blade swinging, the blade clanging, containing all of Feng Zhiqu's insights gained from his twenty years of seclusion on the third opening of the Martial Saint realm!
But when Li Che punched out, it was as if a divine sword had been unsheathed, charging towards the fighting bull in the sky!
Although it was a punch, both of their attacks contained the clanging sounds of blades and swords, ringing out sharply!
Clang!
Clang!
The collision of the blade and sword instantly produced a sound of clashing gold and iron, like a string of cannonballs, exploding in succession.
Li Che's fist and Feng Zhiqu's fist collided!
The entire mountain path of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect seemed to tremble at that moment, and many of the mountain's stones exploded into powder!
The clanging sound continued without pause, one circle after another, like a tsunami, the terrifying waves of energy surged from the point of impact between their fists, covering the sky and the earth, raging and crazy, sweeping through the heavens and the earth, and rushing in all directions.
Puff!
The madness in Feng Zhiqu's eyes began to fade bit by bit...
Like a fire source that had burned out, finally reaching its end!
But Li Che's punch contained a dazzling sword light, which suddenly split into six different colors, each reflecting in his pupils...
With an extremely terrifying force of destruction, it wrapped around his arm, annihilating his blade intent!
"So beautiful..."
Feng Zhiqu murmured.
Like a dazzling firework display.
Then.
A low and deep sound, like a heavenly drum being struck, was Feng Zhiqu's heartbeat.
And Li Che's punch shattered numerous blade intents and collided with Feng Zhiqu's chest.
A sense of death instantly stimulated Feng Zhiqu, causing his scalp to go numb!
He might be killed by a Martial Saint at the first opening...
With a single punch!
Feng Zhiqu threw his head back and laughed.
He never imagined that a novice Martial Saint, who had just entered the Martial Saint realm and was still in the midst of tribulation, could bring him such terrifying pressure and oppression!
Pfft—!!!
Blood spurted out, and Feng Zhiqi's body was like a cannonball, blasting out and flying away from the mountainside in an instant.
He crashed into the archway in front of the mountain gate of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
The powerful impact and sharp sword energy cut through the ground, carving out a hideous gorge several miles long!
Feng Zhiqi's tall figure stood in the middle of it all.
His entire body was engulfed in scorching heat, and the wounds left by the sword energy were dripping with blood like translucent agate beads. It was just one punch, but it almost killed Feng Zhiqi.
"A novice Martial Saint with such domineering and powerful strength..."
"Such a remarkable sword technique, it's truly unparalleled."
Feng Zhiqi raised his head, his hair flying, and his blood and energy retracted, but a muffled roar emerged.
"I surrender."
"Well done, Li Ban Sheng!"
Feng Zhiqi burst into laughter.
As he laughed, his voice carried a hint of loneliness.
"I, Feng Zhiqi, once thought I was a prodigy on the path of martial arts!"
"I believed I could reach the pinnacle, and with a glance, I could look down upon all martial artists."
"But today, I, Feng Zhiqi, have realized that in front of a true prodigy... I am but an insignificant gnat in the vast sky!"
Feng Zhiqi shook his head.
In an instant, the energy within his body began to roar and expand, like a coiling dragon, and the Martial Dao Will between heaven and earth became increasingly dense. Behind Feng Zhiqi, a Martial Dao Mountain emerged, towering high, and his tall figure seemed to stand atop the mountain, gazing up at the sky.
He slowly raised his hand.
It was as if a heavenly gate was slowly manifesting.
Although the heavenly gate was tightly closed, it was genuinely activated!
Today, Feng Zhiqi had entered the fourth level of Martial Saint!
However, Feng Zhiqi did not feel the slightest joy or excitement.
Perhaps, the endpoint he had strived for his entire life could be easily attained by others with a little effort.
Li Che stood on the mountainside, his ink-colored robe fluttering, and his golden hair whipping in the wind.
He looked down at the successful Feng Zhiqi, his face calm.
Feng Zhiqi stood in the ruins of the gorge, and from afar, he bowed to Li Che.
"Thank you, Li Ban Sheng, for your generosity!"
Li Che nodded.
At this moment, Li Che had also successfully entered the third level of Martial Saint, and with 96% pure martial body, he was invincible among his peers. Without activating the Mysterious Gate Divine Seed, it might have been an exaggeration to say that he could kill Feng Zhiqi with one punch.
It would probably take two punches.
At this moment, the entire Primordial Vortex City fell into a deathly silence.
The heads of the ancient families, such as the Zhou, Yun, and Zhong families, who had benefited greatly from the fall of the Su family, had expressions filled with excitement.
The Divine Guard Army generals who had come to observe the battle, including Yu Wen Wenlong and Han Qi Zhong, were also silent.
Feng Zhiqi...
Defeated?!
Could it be that Li Che defeated him with just one punch?!
Looking at the tribulation clouds, it was evident that this was the Martial Saint Thunderbolt...
After all, they did not have the same insight as Fang Hanshu, who could recognize that this was the limit of the pure martial tribulation calamity, and they subconsciously believed it to be the Martial Saint tribulation.
Therefore, when Li Che defeated Feng Zhiqi with one punch, they felt an extremely powerful impact!
Is this Li Ban Sheng?
A novice Martial Saint, able to defeat Feng Zhiqi, who was at the peak of the third level of Martial Saint?!
What kind of monster is he?!
Many people were stunned, thinking about the rumors surrounding Li Che, and they couldn't help but be amazed.
A woodcarver from a humble background had reached such heights.
With Feng Zhiqi defeated by Li Che's punch, everyone knew that the sky above Primordial Vortex City would change completely.
No one could stop the city from breaking free from the control of the court and falling into the hands of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Hum—
Two figures broke through the air.
It was none other than Lu Tai Bai and Fang Hanshu.
Although Feng Zhiqi had entered the fourth level of Martial Saint and was powerful, facing Lu Tai Bai and the enigmatic Fang Hanshu, he didn't have much confidence in winning.
Feng Zhiqi's aura was transforming, and he burst into laughter, bowing to the two of them.
"Sect Master Tai Bai, this time, I, Feng, am making a choice. If I die in battle, then it's all over. As for the development of the court and government forces in Primordial Vortex City, what does it have to do with a dead man like me?"
"But if I break through during the battle... then I will give up my identity as the Grand Guardian of the Grand Canal and join the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect!"
Feng Zhiqi bowed deeply, making a deep bow.
Behind him, the anomaly of the heavenly gate being pulled open made this moment's scene extremely impactful for all the various powers in Primordial Vortex City.
Fang Hanshu was very satisfied, stroking his beard.
Feng Zhiqi's understanding of the situation pleased him.
Feng Zhiqi was different from Yue Weizheng, who was completely implicated by Yue Huang Long and Yan Jing. Fang Hanshu was angry and didn't want to let Yue Weizheng live.
But Feng Zhiqi wanted to live, and Fang Hanshu gave him this opportunity.
"Sect Master, it just so happens that the position of the fourth elder in our Heavenly Origin Divine Sect is vacant. How about letting Governor Feng fill it?"
Fang Hanshu looked at Lu Tai Bai and made the suggestion.
Lu Tai Bai smiled upon hearing this and turned his gaze to Feng Zhiqi.
Feng Zhiqi bowed and laughed heartily, naturally having no objections.
Fang Hanshu looked at Feng Zhiqi: "Then, within Primordial Vortex City, I'd like to ask Elder Feng to pay more attention to the Divine Guard Army and the Temple Guardian Corps."
"After some time, the sect will hold an initiation ceremony for Elder Feng to inform the ancestors."
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhiqi's expression became solemn.
"I, Feng, have been stationed in the Temple Guardian Corps of Primordial Vortex City for many years. I know what the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect has been doing, and they have been working hard to suppress the Strange Temple. If there are strange objects or demons that emerge from the Strange Temple and harm the people, the sect will respond even more actively than the city..."
"I, Feng, am ashamed and admire them for it."
"When I was young, I also traveled through the Grand Canal and visited various divine cities, and I have seen the various divine sects... But those sects looked down on the people, treating the Strange Temple as a source of wealth and treasure, while the lives of the people meant nothing to them."
"Therefore, I admire the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and this is the main reason why I am willing to join them.
"Feng Zhiqi bowed and spoke in a deep voice, expressing that he was not merely seeking to survive, but was willing to join the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Lu Tai Bai's face relaxed significantly upon hearing this.
Of course, he enjoyed listening to such pleasant words.
Over the years, under his governance, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect had indeed adhered to its principles as a Divine Sect, as Feng Zhiqi described. It guarded against the divine taint of the Strange Temple, constantly monitoring the well-being of the surrounding populace. Whenever they encountered demonic disturbances or evil beings causing chaos, they would immediately take action, protecting the people and suppressing the demonic forces.
Boom!
In the sky above, thunder roared and howled.
Feng Zhiqi looked up, and Lu Tai Bai and Fang Hanshu also gazed upwards.
The tribulation thunder released a terrifying oppression, as if the entire vast Heavenly Origin City was being suppressed by the thunder's might at that moment. Countless cultivators felt their hearts pounding and oppressed.
It was as if an all-powerful, furious deity was revealing itself from behind the dark clouds, its face woven from countless bolts of thunder, expressing extreme anger. It opened its mouth and spewed forth thunderbolts like spears, aiming to pierce through the rebellious mortals below!
The wind rose!
As the dark clouds parted, a bolt of thunder that almost illuminated the entire sky appeared, like a divine spear drawn by a deity. It shot down with extreme speed!
At the mountain gate of the Divine Sect, halfway up the mountain.
Li Che's jet-black, robust hair danced wildly as he took a step and soared into the sky, defying gravity. His golden physical body radiated a dazzling brilliance.
The divine spear pierced through Li Che's head, emitting a sound like clashing steel, followed by a terrifying boom, as if the spear could no longer bear the weight and exploded.
The ripples of the ring-shaped waves continued to spread and expand, and after expanding, they seemed to howl incessantly in the sky like a hurricane!
The world turned upside down, and the mountains trembled.
It was like a calamity that would destroy the world, shaking the entire Dao City.
Lu Tai Bai's eyes slightly narrowed as he watched the thunder that had cracked open, swirling around Li Che, and was slowly absorbed by him.
Fang Hanshu and Lu Tai Bai exchanged a glance, and their breaths became heavy.
Because they both recognized it.
What Li Che's powerful physical body had withstood, and finally, the thunder that he had crashed into and shattered...
Was one of the Three Calamities... the Divine Sky Thunder!
Although it was not entirely the Divine Sky Thunder, it contained at least one-third of its power.
Feng Zhiqi did not recognize the Divine Sky Thunder, but he felt that the Martial Saint Thunderbolt that Li Che was currently enduring was far more terrifying than his own tribulation.
Looking at Li Che, sitting halfway up the mountain, bathed in countless bolts of thunder, allowing the thunder to wash over him, and absorbing the terrifying essence of the thunder.
Feng Zhiqi couldn't help but exhale.
Having just entered the Martial Saint realm, he could suppress him with a single punch.
Li Che's future was bound to be terrifying.
With such a talented genius like Li Che in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, even if they truly turned against the Majestic Imperial Palace, what could they do? In fact, Feng Zhiqi was somewhat disappointed in the court.
Ever since the court decided to disperse its power to the various Dao, states, and counties, to help the people resist and counter the influence of the Strange Temple, they had left the people to fend for themselves.
