Junior Leopard was completely caught in a passive situation.
This was also a common problem that all experts below Level Seven faced when facing experts who had cultivated Gang Qi. They simply couldn't break through the Protective Gang Qi of these experts. As a result, when facing the crazy attacks of these experts, they were completely helpless.
An expert who had cultivated Gang Qi, whether it was the cultivation of Internal Qi or the strength of the body, was vastly different from an expert below Level Seven. Even in an extremely fair situation, an expert in the Bone-Forging Realm would not be able to exchange more than five moves with an expert in the Tendon-Changing Realm. Not to mention that one side had Gang Qi to protect his body and could attack crazily without any need to consider defense. The other side had to defend, otherwise, he would definitely be smashed into pieces by his opponent. It was already an amazing thing for Junior Leopard to be able to withstand more than ten moves with the Emerald Pearl Sword in his hand.
"Boy, your tenacity is beyond my expectations. Your strength can be considered one of the best among Level Six experts. It's a pity that you don't know what's good for you!"
The grey-robed old man could feel that Junior Leopard's defense was already in dire straits under his attacks. It was getting more and more difficult. His victory was only a matter of time.
Thinking of the benefits he could obtain from Junior Leopard, he couldn't help but be excited. Not to mention a set of incomparably powerful celestial devices, there was even the Poison-absorbing Green Bead. With the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, he didn't need to waste time flattering the Ruan Family and make use of their resources. He only needed to find a secret place to do closed-door training and use the mysterious function of the Poison-absorbing Green Bead to improve his strength. He believed that within 20 years, he would definitely be able to break through the barrier of Level Eight. Once he broke through the barrier, he would be one of the few experts in the world. His status would be a hundred times higher than it was now.
Upper Three Levels
Level Seven, Level Eight, Level Nine
The gap between each level was no worse than advancing from the Skin-Toughening Realm to the Bone-Forging Realm, or from the Bone-Forging Realm to the Tendon-Changing Realm.
The gap between each level was the same.
In the lower three levels and the middle three levels, perhaps two adjacent levels could still compete. But in the upper three levels, there was no possibility of competing at all.
The gap between Level Seven and Level Eight was even greater than that between Level Six and Level Seven, not to mention the gap between Level Nine and Level Eight.
This was also the reason why the Mingyi School could only swallow their anger when Wang She showed his Level Nine cultivation during the bride kidnapping.
Originally, the greatest wish of the old man's life was to advance to the seventh grade Tendon Changing Realm. However, once he advanced to the seventh grade Tendon Changing Realm, his mind started to become active.
On the surface, he looked very old, but he knew that he still had enough time to advance to Level Eight.
Therefore, he accepted the invitation of the Ruan family, accepted Ruan Xiuwei as his disciple, and became the only Level Seven expert in Goldenrim Commandery of South Yuezhou. The purpose of this was to use the Ruan family, the local tyrant of Yuezhou, to collect the resources he needed for future use.
Things had been going smoothly. The Ruan Family deserved to be the first well-known family in Yuezhou. It could be said that they would grant any request of a Level Seven expert like him.
But it was precisely because of this that he felt that his chances of advancing were getting slimmer.
The higher his cultivation was, the farther he seemed to be from the realm of Level Eight.
Today, after ten years of advancing to Level Seven, he deeply understood that if there was no special opportunity, then for him, advancing from Level Seven to Level Eight was just a beautiful fantasy.
But now, the opportunity was in front of him.
That set of celestial devices could only enhance his combat capability, but the Poison-absorbing Green Bead was the key to his advancement to Level Eight, and even the key to his advancement to Level Nine.
In the face of such an opportunity, how could he not be moved, how could he not be excited?
Now that success was at hand, he really couldn't think of any chance for Junior Leopard to make a comeback. In his excitement, he felt that Junior Leopard wasn't that annoying anymore, so he said what he just said.
The Emerald Pearl Sword flashed with a white brilliance, firmly protecting his whole body. Junior Leopard just didn't say anything, but his eyes were still fixed on the old man.
Observing his expression and listening to his tone, Junior Leopard, who seemed to have used all his strength, suddenly flashed a smile on his face.
This smile was so strange, so strange. Even with absolute confidence, the old man couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
In an instant, Junior Leopard's Qi Power changed, becoming extremely demonic.
The old man, who was attacking crazily, only felt that a strange force field appeared around Junior Leopard.
With him as the center, everything within a radius of 30 feet was shrouded in this force field.
With the appearance of the force field, it became difficult for him to attack.
The force field was like a black hole, sucking in everything within a radius of 30 feet, including the dust-like insect corpses all over the sky.
The fierce battle between the two of them splashed the insect corpses piled up in the room. The room was filled with these insect corpses. Now, under the influence of Junior Leopard's force field, these dust-like insect corpses began to form an arc in a regular pattern and flew towards Junior Leopard in a slow, helical trajectory.
"Intent?!!"
The old man was a Level Seven expert. After the initial surprise, he immediately understood what he had encountered.
It was "Intent"!
"You've actually comprehended intent!"
The old man said with some surprise. Junior Leopard didn't answer. The speed of the Emerald Pearl Sword in his hand was a bit faster than before, directly stabbing towards the old man.
"This isn't sword intent, this is fist intent. What you're best at isn't actually the sword?!"
Feeling the fist intent emitted by Junior Leopard, the old man had already begun to put Junior Leopard in the category of freaks and evildoers.
A Level Six expert who had comprehended fist intent was actually using a sword to fight with a Level Seven expert. What did he want to do?
The old man didn't know what Junior Leopard was thinking, but he didn't dare to look down on him anymore. The attack that had just slowed down became fierce again, ignoring Junior Leopard's sword stabbing towards him. Even if Junior Leopard had already grasped fist intent, he didn't believe that Junior Leopard could easily break his Gang Qi with a dagger in his hand. Most importantly, the speed of the long whip in his hand wasn't slower than Junior Leopard's. He had absolute confidence that he could kill Junior Leopard before the dagger stabbed him.
He had miscalculated.
The Emerald Pearl Sword emitted a strange green light and fiercely stabbed into his Gang Qi. It very easily broke through his Gang Qi and stabbed into his left shoulder.
This was also the result of him quickly dodging after realizing that the situation wasn't right. Otherwise, this sword would have directly pierced through his heart.
The old man's eyes suddenly widened. He endured the pain and retreated. The reason why he retreated was not because he was injured, but because of an unbelievable scene that happened in front of him.
Junior Leopard's sword had actually pierced into his body before his whip.
The floating insect corpses that were attracted by Junior Leopard's fist intent field were closing in on Junior Leopard at a faster and faster speed. At the same time, his long whip was also closing in. What made him feel the most astonished was that the speed was getting faster and faster.
Especially when it was about a foot away from Junior Leopard, it suddenly accelerated.
It flew with a whooshing sound, as if it could hit Junior Leopard's body in the next blink of an eye and smash him into pieces. But it was precisely this one foot distance that seemed to be endless.
The scene in front of his eyes and reality formed two extremes. At this moment, he didn't even believe that what he saw was real. A few breaths had already passed. The Emerald Pearl Sword in Junior Leopard's hand had already attacked several times. Except for the first time when he was careless, he had dodged all the other attacks.
And his whip still didn't hit Junior Leopard's body.
One foot distance, so close yet so far away!
What was even worse was that he couldn't retract his whip now. After discovering the abnormality, he wanted to retract his whip. Very naturally, when he lashed his whip, he felt that his whip was being lashed and it also retracted along with his strength. But a problem followed. His whip seemed to be extended by something infinitely. After lashing a few times, he still couldn't completely retract it.
"How could there be such a weird fist intent in the world?!"
After trying for a few times, his whip couldn't be retracted and he couldn't hit Junior Leopard's body. Under Junior Leopard's attack, he finally had the intention to retreat.
Retreat!
How could he not retreat?
Although the Poison-absorbing Green Bead was good, he needed to be alive to enjoy it. In his life, he had met countless enemies and experienced countless battles. But it was the first time that he had met an enemy like Junior Leopard.
His cultivation was obviously only at Level Six, but he had an endless amount of weird stuff on him. He actually forced a Level Seven expert to be flustered. Most importantly, his fist intent was really weird. Under such circumstances, he chose to retreat temporarily, which could be regarded as a prudent choice.
But once he retreated, he no longer hesitated. He loosened his hand and actually released the whip that he carried with him. He didn't care about it anymore and retreated like lightning.
He chose to retreat at this time because he had his own considerations. A temporary retreat didn't mean that he had given up on the Poison-absorbing Green Bead. On the contrary, he wanted to have a better chance to obtain the Poison-absorbing Green Bead.
He was an extremely cautious person. After fighting with Junior Leopard for such a long time, he had already understood that his group of people had completely underestimated Junior Leopard's strength. From the beginning, Junior Leopard had taken the initiative and killed two Level Six experts. This was his biggest mistake.
If the two Level Six experts were still here, he definitely wouldn't fall into such a passive situation. Now, on his side, two people were dead, one was already scared out of his wits, and the only one left was himself. And he was also in a bitter fight. Facing the opponent's unfathomable fist intent and punching skills that he hadn't displayed, if he forced himself to fight, even if he won, he would have to pay a considerable price. In the end, he would be working for someone else. Rather than that, he might as well retreat now and wait for an opportunity. Anyway, the opponent still had a set of celestial devices in his hands. With the value of this set of celestial devices, he thought that the opponent wouldn't leave it at that and would definitely think of ways to get it back. And at that time, the time and place wouldn't be up to Junior Leopard to choose. Just like today, Junior Leopard took advantage of the favorable terrain to kill two Level Six experts. Next time, he could also take advantage of the favorable terrain.
In the Governor Mansion of Yuezhou, besides him, there were still six Level Six experts. Now that two of them were dead, there were still four left. Taking advantage of the favorable terrain, plus the four Level Six experts, under the circumstance that the opponent's celestial device had lost most of its power, even if Junior Leopard had such a strange fist intent, he still had the confidence to subdue him.
After all, before this, he wasn't mentally prepared for the fist intent that Junior Leopard suddenly displayed. But next time, he wouldn't make the same mistake.
As a Level Seven expert, if he couldn't even do this, he didn't deserve to be a Level Seven expert.
Therefore, he started to retreat now.
Of course, Junior Leopard wouldn't let him retreat so easily.
What the old man understood, he also understood. Moreover, now everything was going according to his plan step by step. How could he let the opponent escape when he had the upper hand?
Even the opponent's retreat was within his calculations.
Under his Black Hole Fist Intent, how could it be an easy thing to retreat?
It was just that the opponent's decisiveness was somewhat beyond Junior Leopard's expectations. He didn't even want his weapon and only cared about retreating.
"You already have no way out!" Junior Leopard sneered. His body rushed forward, like an arrow leaving the bow, he shot toward the old man.
"It's just a Genuine Weapon that has been tempered a hundred times. Do you really think it can break my Gang Qi?"
Seeing Junior Leopard rush over, a trace of anger flashed across the old man's face. Just now, due to his carelessness, Junior Leopard's Emerald Pearl Sword pierced his Gang Qi and stabbed his shoulder. This made him think that Junior Leopard's hand was a Secondary Heavenly Weapon. But after being stabbed several times by the Emerald Pearl Sword, he began to gradually relax. This was not a Secondary Heavenly Weapon.
The first time he was stabbed was because he wasn't mentally prepared at all. Junior Leopard's sword also contained a powerful destructive heat at the same time, so his Gang Qi collapsed with one blow.
In the subsequent attacks, the destructive heat disappeared. This made the old man involuntarily speculate.
"Perhaps he can only release that kind of destructive heat attack a limited number of times?"
This kind of thinking was, of course, feasible. Junior Leopard was a Level Six expert. Although he had already given him a great "surprise" during the course of the battle, Level Six was Level Six after all. Even if he had the means to break Gang Qi, he couldn't possibly use it at will and without restrictions. Otherwise, the gap between Level Seven and Level Six wouldn't be so big.
Now that Junior Leopard rushed over again, he was more cautious. Perhaps Junior Leopard would once again use the destructive heat from the sword. Subconsciously, he began to quickly operate his Gang Qi to meet Junior Leopard's sword. He even had some faint expectations in his heart. He wanted to see if Junior Leopard's sword could still pierce through his Gang Qi now that he was prepared.
Looking at the Emerald Pearl Sword coming towards him, Junior Leopard's eyes flashed with a trace of mockery.
His right hand that was holding the sword suddenly loosened, and the Emerald Pearl Sword was thrown out.
The old man's eyes suddenly narrowed and his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle. Boundless fear instantly spread throughout his body.
"Oh no!"
Junior Leopard's long sword left his hand and met his Gang Qi. Without any suspense, it was bounced off by his Gang Qi. It didn't cause the slightest bit of damage to his Gang Qi.
After the long sword left his hand, Junior Leopard flipped his hands and struck forward with his palms. At the same time, a green light shone in front of his chest. However, it was covered by his black robe, so the old man couldn't see what was going on inside.
The two palms struck and instantly met his Gang Qi. At this moment, he couldn't avoid it.
"Puff!" With a muffled sound, the two palms met with the gray Gang Qi. Both of their bodies stopped at the same time. At the same time, Junior Leopard's fist intent also disappeared. The insect corpses that filled the sky lost control and scattered in all directions. The entire room was once again shrouded in a haze.
In this haze, a green light flashed and disappeared. Junior Leopard's palms were firmly pressed on the Gang Qi. He only felt as if his hands were being pricked by thousands of needles. The corner of his mouth suddenly curled up and he let out a strange cry. However, he still resisted and didn't remove his hands.
The vibrating ripples that were as condensed as jade gushed out from his palms at an extremely high frequency. At the same time, starting from his elbows, every pore on his hands began to spurt out blood. A fine blood mist wrapped his hands in layers.
The green ripples drove the gray Gang Qi. In an instant, the gray Gang Qi also began to tremble along with the green ripples. This trembling very quickly spread to the old man's entire body.
The old man's face stiffened and an abnormal expression flashed through his eyes. His body suddenly trembled and his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to call out something. However, in the end, he didn't even make the final sound.
Infinite Trembling Contemplation!
The old man's body vibrated at a high speed along with the green ripples. It looked as if he was standing on a trembling wooden board. However, this vibration didn't last for too long.
In a breath's time, the Gang Qi collapsed in the shock, and the old man's body also shattered in the shock. A thick mist of blood splashed in all directions, washing away the insect corpses floating in the air. The room was a little cleaner than before, and in the midst of the freshness, there was a thick smell of blood.
Junior Leopard himself didn't feel good after killing the old man with one move with Infinite Trembling Contemplation. His hands trembled slightly. Just now, although the whole operation of the secret skill was completed in the External Elixir of the Dragon Chimera's skull, in the end, it still had to be released through his palms. Just the last step alone caused his hands to be seriously injured.
However, it was absolutely worth it to kill a Level Seven expert at the cost of it.
Very worth it.
"My speculation is not wrong. This Infinite Trembling Contemplation can really shatter the Gang Qi. It can even use the Gang Qi to connect with the opponent's body and directly kill the opponent!" Junior Leopard looked at the pool of flesh and blood in front of him and revealed a complacent smile. He tiptoed and kicked a black square box up. This kick was filled with Genuine Power. Therefore, the square box began to shatter in the process of rising. The 42 Demon Devil Needles that the old man put away were once again under Junior Leopard's control.
"Don't kill me, please, don't kill me. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!" When Junior Leopard regained control of the Demon Devil Needles and turned his gaze to Ruan Xiuwen, Ruan Xiuwen woke up from the shock and shouted loudly.
The old man's death gave him a huge shock. A Level Seven expert died so easily under the hands of this strange black-clothed man in front of him. Not even his bones were left.
Yes, not even his bones were left!
This made him think of Gao Yulou. At this moment, he could already confirm that this black-clothed man who was like a devil in front of him was the mysterious man, Xiao, who kidnapped the bride with Wang She in Qinlingjun City.
At that time, he also made a Level Seven expert's bones disappear.
"Don't shout. If I want to kill you, it's useless even if you shout!" Junior Leopard slowly walked in front of Ruan Xiuwen.
Ruan Xiuwen's face was also splashed with a lot of the old man's blood. He didn't wipe it off, or rather, he didn't realize it. He looked at Junior Leopard, who was walking towards him step by step, with trepidation. He followed Junior Leopard's footsteps and retreated step by step.
He retreated until he reached the door. His foot stepped on empty air and his body fell backward, sitting on the ground.
"No, no, don't come over. Don't come over!"
Even though he was already sitting on the ground, he still used his hands to support his back. His legs kicked and he scurried backwards.
"If you move again, I'll kill you!"
Junior Leopard was still approaching him unhurriedly and said softly.
Ruan Xiuwen's movements stopped and he didn't dare to move again. He sat on the ground and looked at Junior Leopard with a pleading gaze.
"Don't be afraid. I don't want to kill you, but you have to cooperate!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate!" Ruan Xiuwen nodded his head repeatedly.
Junior Leopard looked around and frowned slightly. At this moment, the inn was already empty. However, there were a few faintly discernible auras around the inn. The cultivation of these auras wasn't bad. They were at least Level Four or Five. It seemed that when the old man came, although he scared some people away, there were some who wanted to take advantage of the situation and didn't retreat. Instead, they hid in the surroundings.
"I have something to ask you, but this isn't appropriate!" While speaking, Junior Leopard grabbed Ruan Xiuwen's collar and lifted his body up. At the same time, a burning pain came from his right hand, causing him to suck in a breath of cold air.
"The damage to the body of this Infinite Trembling Contemplation is indeed huge. No wonder it's said to be a useless secret skill. Its power is great, but no one can fully use it!" Junior Leopard thought in his heart. He lifted his hand and lifted Ruan Xiuwen's entire body. He used the Floating Goose Body Movement and ran out of the inn.
The experts who were waiting outside the inn and waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation didn't have time to react. They only saw a figure carrying a half-dead person and running away. The speed was so fast that it made people speechless.
None of the experts who were hiding in the dark chased after them because most of them had seen the appearance of the two people clearly.
They clearly saw that the person who was being carried was Young Master Ruan Xiuwen. This Young Master Ruan was being carried by someone and no one from the inn chased after him. What did this mean?
This meant that the mysterious person who made such a big commotion in the inn had already defeated the four-man team including the Level Seven expert, Elder Yun, and forcefully captured the Young Master Ruan. What was the outcome of the other three? This was what they were most concerned about.
Thirty minutes after Junior Leopard disappeared with Ruan Xiuwen, several figures rushed into the inn. After a moment, cries of alarm were heard. Then, the officers and soldiers of the Garrison Mansion also rushed into the inn. An hour later, the entire Goldenrim Commandery entered into a state of emergency. However, all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Junior Leopard.
About 300 feet away from the Flyingcrane Restaurant, an old man who had a wonton stall squinted his eyes and looked at the Flyingcrane Restaurant with some doubts.
"What is this kid doing? But he made such a big commotion. It's actually my advantage!"
