Chapter 111: Group Attack

How could they have known that Yi Qianmo’s Chaotic Sword Body was far superior to that of ordinary cultivators? Enhanced by sword energy, his meridians, and dantian surpassed the limits of a typical cultivator.

Now that he had reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, he was just a small realm beneath Wu Tianhao. With his mastery of the Yandang Formula, he no longer feared Wu Tianhao’s Great Force Diamond Punch.

Not only was he unafraid to exchange punches with Wu Tianhao, but he also seemed to have the upper hand during the fight, as he was not using all his strength.

However, Wu Tianhao was indeed much stronger than Long Fei. If it were Long Fei facing Wu Tianhao now, he would probably be unable to fight back at all.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Their fists collided, with both of their spiritual powers gathering at their fists. This, combined with their physical strength, caused the ground to tremble slightly upon impact.

One might think it was a thunderbolt on a clear day.

“Impossible!”

Wu Tianhao’s fists hurt a little every time he exchanged punches with Yi Qianmo. After the spiritual power protection broke, it became a battle of fists.

However, he realized that his body didn’t seem to have the upper hand, despite having practiced the Great Force Diamond Punch—the strongest and most formidable punching technique.

“He must be enduring too!”

Pain-filled thoughts crossed Wu Tianhao’s mind, “Even though he practices swordsmanship and is strong, he cannot be stronger than me!”

Until now, Yi Qianmo had not drawn his sword, and Wu Tianhao knew this was his opportunity. Although he was surprised by Yi Qianmo’s strength, he refused to believe that a swordsman could defeat him in the area where he excelled most—punching.

“It’s getting intense; I never expected that Yi Qianmo’s body could be compared to Senior Brother Wu’s!”

“The Great Force Diamond Punch is unmatched. Both of them are now testing their endurance; whoever backs down first will be the loser!”

“Yi Qianmo must be enduring a lot of pain. His strength is great, but he insists on competing with Senior Brother Wu in the punching field. If he had drawn his sword from the start, perhaps the situation would be very different now.”

By now, everyone had finally realized just how strong Yi Qianmo was. Still, they all knew that when it came to punching, there weren’t many in the Tao School who could rival Senior Brother Wu. It felt like Yi Qianmo’s defeat was only a matter of time.

But they no longer saw Yi Qianmo as an easy target, and their previous doubts about him had faded significantly.

There were very few people who could spar with Senior Brother Wu in Tao School.

The fight truly became intense, with neither of them using flashy moves; their punches and kicks were just simple and direct exchanges.

But no one expected that this seemingly ending battle would go on for dozens of rounds, and more surprisingly, Yi Qianmo showed no signs of fatigue.

On the contrary, the Wu Tianhao they admired was starting to slow down in speed and strength, which made them widen their eyes in disbelief.

“Senior Brother Wu won’t lose, will he?”

“If this continues, Senior Brother Wu might lose. What kind of strange person is this Yi Qianmo? His body is incredibly powerful!”

“Not just his body; this guy is only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, yet his spiritual power is flowing endlessly, not at all weaker than Senior Brother Wu, who is at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage!”

The murmurs in the crowd gradually died down as everyone watched in growing disbelief. Certainly, things were taking a turn for the worse, just as they had feared—Wu Tianhao’s speed was slowing down more and more.

Although Yi Qianmo’s speed has slowed down, he is still overpowering Wu Tianhao. After dozens of rounds, Wu Tianhao has blocked far more times than he has thrown punches.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

After three punches collided, the two immediately separated.

But Wu Tianhao was pushed back several steps before he could steady himself, while Yi Qianmo only took a single step back, showing a clear difference in strength.

“Quick, look at Senior Brother Wu’s fists!”

When Wu Tianhao steadied himself, someone in the crowd noticed his fists—and gasps followed. They were a bloody mess, unrecognizable from when he had first clenched them. His hands looked like raw, skinned flesh, with wounds so deep they exposed bone, a gruesome and chilling sight.

“Give up!”

Yi Qianmo has only used less than thirty percent of his spiritual power; he is still fully capable. If he wanted to humiliate Wu Tianhao, he wouldn’t have slowed down before.

In fact, he also wanted to give Wu Tianhao a way out, since he had no deep-seated grudge against him.

The crowd watching was silent, and in their silence, there was some shame and anger; they always thought Yi Qianmo had climbed to the top by relying on women.

However, after knocking on the door twice and failing both times, they realized that Yi Qianmo was just a newcomer, and bothering a newcomer felt a bit like strong-arming.

Now having failed, they naturally felt a bit ashamed.

But aside from feeling ashamed, their anger did not calm down; it grew even stronger.

Yi Qianmo had meant well, hoping his words would persuade Wu Tianhao to back down. However, he hadn’t expected them to have the opposite effect.

Everyone thought Yi Qianmo was insulting them because of what had happened before, and their anger was ignited.

Especially Wu Tianhao, upon hearing those three words, raised his fist and charged at him again.

Yi Qianmo felt a bit helpless, but this time, he didn’t counter. Instead, he dodged Wu Tianhao’s punch with ease and used the opening to land three swift punches to his side.

Although these three punches were not with all his strength, they still carried the force of thousands of pounds, and with each hit, a cracking sound was heard, followed by a loud crash.

Wu Tianhao fell to the ground and could not get up again.

“Why bother?”

Yi Qianmo sighed; he had shown mercy earlier by only breaking a few of Wu Tianhao’s ribs, leaving Wu Tianhao too weak to stand up again.

With Wu Tianhao’s body, after resting for about half a month, he would mostly recover.

If Yi Qianmo had chosen to clash head-on with Wu Tianhao just now, Wu Tianhao’s entire right arm would have been shattered. Even if it healed, it would leave a significant scar, making it nearly impossible for him to use the powerful Great Force Diamond Punch effectively ever again.

Unfortunately, no one seemed to care about Yi Qianmo’s good intentions. Seeing Wu Tianhao lying on the ground unable to get up, the cultivators present were angry.

“It was just a knock on the door; why did you have to be so harsh?”

An eighth-level Qi Refining Stage cultivator stepped forward; although his skill was lower than Wu Tianhao’s, he was filled with righteous anger at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Yi Qianmo did not intend to argue with him. In their eyes, it was only truly being gentle if Wu Tianhao managed to get himself knocked down to the ground.

He turned around and walked back to his cave.

But at that moment, a strong wind flashed behind him. The cultivator saw that he did not pay attention to him and immediately lost his mind, charging at him.

Yi Qianmo’s expression turned cold; without holding back, he drew his weapon, Repel Evil, and welcomed the attack.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

The energy from their swords burst forth as their blades clashed, then brushed past each other. With a “sizzle,” a shocking sword wound appeared on the cultivator’s body.

The cultivators present couldn’t believe it. Although this one was weaker than Wu Tianhao, Yi Qianmo had already fought Wu Tianhao for hundreds of rounds and still had such terrifying strength.

Most of the cultivators stepped back, but some did not retreat.

They supported the injured cultivator, and one of them shouted, “I can’t take it anymore! This little brat is too much! Everyone, let’s go! We must take revenge!”

Five disciples of the Tao School drew their weapons and charged at Yi Qianmo, while the terrifying energy forced the less skilled disciples to step back.

No one expected that a knock on the door would turn into a group fight, and they all knew that private battles were forbidden at Tianyuan Academy; those who broke the rules would face three hundred strikes!

“Almost there!”

In the distance stood two people, and if the disciples of the Tao School looked closely, they would see that it was Minister Professor Yu and Wu Qing.

Behind them stood a group of Black Armored Guards, their armor marked with symbols of punishment.

“Should we stop them now?” Wu Qing asked.

“Now?”

Minister Professor Yu replied with a cold smile, “Let them continue. In their fury, they might not hold back. If Yi Qianmo gets beaten to death, that would be for the best. Even if he survives, it won’t matter whether he started it or not—he’ll still end up in my Punishment Hall!”
