This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick! Chapter 130 – Chapter 130: Chapter 108: High–Level Force, Subduing Others with Power

Chapter 130: Chapter 108: High-Level Force, Subduing Others with Power

Yu Hu made a striking appearance, halting the City Guard Army in its tracks. When it was time to press the advantage and crush the opponent's morale, no one expected the Inspection Bureau, which should have been aiding them, to suddenly “switch sides”.

“Ha ha, interesting!”

Wei Ge couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He knew that with the current situation, the battle today would hardly erupt again.

Yu Hu's eyes were filled with immense fury as he first glared at Wu Yihua, wishing he could scold him as a ‘useless fool' on the spot, then turned to Li Lei:

“Why should my men put down their weapons, on what grounds?”

Li Lei gazed back at Yu Hu, showing no fear of his imposing aura:

“Because I am the Captain of the Inspection Bureau, by the decree of the court!”

“Ha ha!”

Yu Hu burst into laughter.

“Do you even know what a decree is?”

“A decree is power!”

“Do you have enough power to enforce your decree?”

Yu Hu's voice boomed like a bell, clearly heard by everyone present.

He had once openly told his subordinates from the Tiger Saber Gang:

“We're not just a gang; we represent Xing City!”

Although brash, this statement was somewhat true.

The Tiger Saber Gang's influence permeated through Xing City's government, from the Deputy Chief to ordinary officials in the Internal Affairs Office, Zhi Ge Court, Inspection Bureau…

Li Lei trying to enforce the law in front of the Tiger Saber Gang was futile without sufficient power.

“Just a Captain.”

Yu Hu looked at the epaulette on Li Lei's shoulder, sneering:

“A riot today, a few subordinate officials dying is quite normal.”

The killing intent in his words was unmistakable!

The Gang Leader of the Tiger Saber Gang was extremely aggressive from the moment he arrived!

“Yu Gang Leader!”

Li Fei, worried that Li Lei might be provoked by Yu Hu's words into making an unwise move, stepped forward again:

“I heard that today your Tiger Saber Gang deployed its elite, yet the Master still got killed. It looks like the power of your gang isn't that great after all. Causing such a scene now is just the bluster of a loser, a laughing stock!”

These words struck a nerve for Yu Hu; his tiger-like eyes brimming with ferocity, his gaze piercing across the dozens of meters to land on Li Fei:

“A student from the Martial Arts Hall?”

He didn't recognize Li Fei but was infuriated by another challenge to his dignity:

“Young man, speaking also requires power. Speaking recklessly without power can also lead to death!”

For Yu Hu, speaking such words to a student of the Martial Arts Hall was indeed difficult to refute.

Unless Li Fei could reveal a major identity and claim “I am the Green-faced Ghost, and I killed your Master.” Otherwise, whatever he said now would seem powerless.

“He lacks power, but what about me?”

A sudden voice arose.

Yu Hu was taken aback and looked up toward the roof of a building to his right.

A stern-looking middle-aged man in the grey instructor's robe of the Martial Arts Hall, wearing black leather gloves, stood there.

“Hao Yi?”

Yu Hu's expression finally changed.

The newcomer was Hao Yi, one of the few Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses in Xing City!

Yu Hu might disregard others, but he couldn't ignore the voice of Hao Yi.

He stared at Hao Yi, saying gravely:

“Mr. Hao also intends to interfere in today's matter?”

“Since you just threatened my student, shouldn't I?”

Hao Yi responded coldly.

Hao Yi discovered something was amiss when Yu Hu ordered the mobilization of people from the Martial Arts Hall.

He inquired and learned about the situation in Wuguang District. Concerned for Shangguan Xiao's safety, he rushed over.

Instead of finding Shangguan Xiao, he happened upon Yu Hu threatening Li Fei.

“Oh?”

Yu Hu turned his head toward Li Fei, “So you are Li Fei.”

Both the Chen Family incident and the ones involving the Calming Sect were related to Li Fei, so the name left a deep impression on him.

Li Fei didn't respond to him but turned and bowed to Hao Yi:

“Teacher.”

Hao Yi nodded.

Yu Hu's gaze shifted, then he spoke to Hao Yi:

“So he's Mr. Hao's student, then it's simply a misunderstanding. Please rest assured, Mr. Hao, as long as he doesn't oppose the Tiger Saber Gang, we naturally won't harm him.”

“That might be difficult.”

No sooner had Yu Hu finished speaking, Li Fei spoke up.

Yu Hu's face darkened, and he turned, fixing Li Fei with a glaring look, staring at this ‘foolish' youngster.

Li Fei pointed to Li Lei nearby:

“The Captain you just threatened is as close to me as a father. If you seek to kill him, I will surely kill you!”

“Huh?”

Yu Hu laughed in disbelief.

He was beginning to not understand this world anymore; how dared a student from the Martial Arts Hall declare in front of him that he would kill him?

Yu Hu decided not to argue with Li Fei anymore, and directed his gaze towards Hao Yi:

“Mr. Hao, what do you plan to do today?”

Hao Yi looked at him and spoke unhurriedly,

“In case of emergencies, the Inspection Bureau can call on instructors from the Martial Arts Hall to act together. Today, with hundreds clashing in Wuguang District, posing a serious threat to public safety, Captain Li Lei invited me to join forces and stop the fight.”

On his way here, he had seen many innocent civilians' bodies lying by the roadside, all killed by stray bullets, which enraged him deeply and made him detest today's clash involving the Tiger Saber Gang and the City Guard Army!

So, he straightforwardly stated that he was invited by Li Lei, as he aimed to ensure Li Fei's safety and to stop the clash.

Li Lei reacted quickly; seeing Hao Yi pass the ball to him, he immediately proclaimed loudly,

“Indeed, it was I who invited Mr. Hao to assist our first squad in taking action!”

Yu Hu, watching the back-and-forth between the two, was beyond furious.

He suddenly stepped forward, shattering the stone slab underfoot with one foot:

“Hao Yi! Do you really think I am scared of you?!”

With his angry roar, a terrifying aura burst forth from him!

Instantly, centered around Yu Hu, a layer of visible frost spread out from his feet, drastically dropping the surrounding temperature.

It was still September, yet it began to snow!

Inside the teahouse, Yan Yichen, who had been sitting quietly drinking tea and sending people to gather information, suddenly stood up and looked in the direction where Yu Hu was exerting his force.

“Cold Evil Snow Flakes? Very good, very good!”

Yan Yichen muttered ‘very good' repeatedly, though his expression grew increasingly grim,

“I was right after all, Yu Hu, what impressive restraint you have!”

He had stayed in Wuguang District just to see what other cards Yu Hu was hiding.

Now, he finally saw them; Yu Hu himself was the biggest card!

After entering the Qi Change Middle Stage, martial masters could highly refine their Innate Qi based on the characteristics of their implants, developing different kinds of force.

But the force at this stage was just the initial kind, like Wei Ge's Earth Magnetic Force or the late Wang Ping's Chi Lin Power, etc.

Only when advancing to the Tao Foundation Stage, incorporating more implants, could they integrate other types of Innate Qi, thereby sublimating their own force into high-tier forces.

Yu Hu had just changed the weather in a small area, creating a snowy scene, using high-tier force — Cold Evil Snow Flakes!

This force belonged to the Cold River Snow Tao Foundation, and only after incorporating three kinds of implants could one initially develop the Cold Evil Snow Flakes.

This meant Yu Hu was not only a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse but also one who had completed the incorporation of three kinds of implants!

Being in the same Tao Foundation Stage, just starting it without incorporating the second type of implant versus having already incorporated three types, the combat powers were on entirely different levels.

Ten years ago, Yan Yichen had stepped into the Tao Foundation Stage, and only after ten years had he barely incorporated the third type of implant, and even now, he hadn't cultivated it to the ‘Qi Change Stage' to develop Innate Qi.

Thus, he hadn't yet developed high-tier force and only used the second type of Innate Qi to enhance his own Golden Stone Force.

In the past, Yan Yichen had always been recognized as the top martial artist of Xing City, and he had believed so himself.

Yet today, he first lost to Shangguan Xiao, and now he discovered Yu Hu's cultivation surpassed his own.

“Yu Hu!”

Yan Yichen repeated the name, his gaze deep.

…

In the street where the Inspection Bureau and the City Guard Army faced off, Yu Hu's display of Cold Evil Snow Flakes surprised everyone present.

Wei Ge looked in shock at Yu Hu, enveloped by the snowflakes, feeling a chill of fear.

He had always considered himself the fifth best martial artist in Xing City, apart from a few Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses and Elder Chen from the Chen Family, whose fate was unknown; he believed he was the strongest.

Today, he had planned to challenge Yu Hu publicly to further damage the reputation of the Tiger Saber Gang.

But now, he was secretly relieved that Hao Yi had appeared and forced Yu Hu's true strength.

All along, Yu Hu displayed only the strength of the Qi Change Middle Stage, a Refining Strength Martial Master.

Although many speculated that he might have concealed his strength, most only guessed it was up to the peak of the Qi Change Stage, no one had imagined he was actually a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse and had even developed high-tier force!

As Yan Yichen had said, such restraint was indeed incredible.

If not for Zhang Mingze's death today and the forceful pressure from the Chief's faction, with Li Lei and Hao Yi coming forward to provoke, Yu Hu would have continued to hide and not reveal his card so soon.

“Hao Yi, others might not know, but I do know your Martial Arts Foundation has been severely damaged. How much strength do you have left? Do you really think I can't kill you?!”

With his card revealed, Yu Hu immediately counterattacked with a bombshell message.

“His Martial Arts Foundation has been severely damaged?”

All the martial artists and martial masters present turned to look at Hao Yi.

The Tao Foundation Stage is about constructing the Martial Arts Foundation; if the Martial Arts Foundation is severely damaged, it essentially means reaching perfection in this realm will be difficult.

Not only would his cultivation stall, but his overall strength could significantly weaken.

If Yu Hu's statement was true, then Hao Yi's deterrent power as a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse would greatly diminish.

Standing by Li Lei, Li Fei, upon hearing Yu Hu's words, immediately recalled the time when he had absorbed the Steel Armor Implant and that top-grade instructor, Wang Qitai, had said during his search,

“Hao Yi, this implant is very important to me. If you want to rebuild the ‘Steel Core', I can get you top-grade third-class gold scales…”

It seemed Hao Yi's foundation may indeed have had issues, and what Yu Hu said was indeed true.

Thinking of this, Li Fei couldn't help but look at Hao Yi worriedly, his mind rapidly considering how to break the deadlock.

There was one statement from Yu Hu that Li Fei agreed with:

“To speak and act, one needs strength.”

Whether it's to uphold the law, maintain principles, or defend one's rationale, it all requires sufficient strength first.

Now, with Yu Hu possessing the strongest power in the venue, he represented the highest rationale!
