Silence. Complete silence.
Zhou Bao's unscrupulous voice reverberated in the sky above Mingyi Lane and reached everyone's ears. Not only the experts, but also the people in the martial arts world. Everyone, everyone, listened to him.
Zhou Bao's vigorous Internal Qi stirred up his voice. He could guarantee that his voice could fall into everyone's ears. This was also his purpose.
Provocation!
At this time, as long as one was not a fool, he could see that this guy was here to make trouble. He came to Mingyi School to make trouble.
The silence did not last long. An angry shout broke the silence.
"Where did this bastard come from? How dare you slander Master Ji? You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" The voice came as fast as the man. He flashed in front of Zhou Bao and slapped Zhou Bao's mouth.
"Slap!" The crisp sound spread far and wide, and the figure that shot over like a sharp arrow was once again shot back like a sharp arrow.
Zhou Bao still sat there motionless, holding a bowl of tofu pudding in his hand. He still had a contemptuous sneer on his face.
"Bam!" The figure that rushed over finally fell heavily to the ground from the air, causing dust to fly everywhere. It was a Level Five Junior Master. He was tall and sturdy, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked mighty.
Of course, the so-called powerful appearance was in the past. Now, he looked too embarrassed. Zhou Bao did not use his full strength in this slap, nor did he use any evil means, but the strength was enough. After the slap, his teeth were spat out along with blood clots and bones on the ground. Half of his face was swollen. There was no trace of the demeanor of an expert or a trace of the powerful Qi Power.
"You …!"
His teeth were knocked out, and his breath was leaking. The big man struggled to get up from the ground. His eyes were full of shock and anger. He pointed at Zhou Bao fiercely, but he did not dare to move forward.
Zhou Bao's attack was so fast that he could not react at all. He did not realize that he had been slapped out until he fell to the ground.
There was a big gap between their strength. If he went forward again, he would only be humiliating himself.
Zhou Bao sat outside the tofu pudding shop as if nothing had happened. He slowly drank the last mouthful of tofu pudding without even looking at the big man.
After finishing the tofu pudding, he gently moved his eyes in the direction of the General Yard of Mingyi School.
"I'm going to yell at Ji Zhongtang. I think the White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou will not be able to sit still. This guy was already a Level Eight expert more than 10 years ago. I wonder if he has broken through Level Nine! "He thought to himself.
Ji Zhongtang and Lu Shaoyou were like father and son, or even closer than that. Even those who were not in Jianghu knew this. Now that he was standing on the street of Mingyi Lane and spoke rudely to Ji Zhongtang, he was not only provoking Mingyi School, but also Lu Shaoyou. At this time, if Lu Shaoyou did not stand out, it would be unreasonable, unless he was not there.
However, it was unlikely that he was not there when Ji Zhongtang was promoted to be an Elder of Mingyi School.
Sure enough, in just a few breaths, a stream of abundant Sword Qi rose from the General Yard of Mingyi School. A sword light shot straight to Zhou Bao without any greeting.
"The White Blademaster, Lu Shaoyou!"
Looking at the sword light and the white clothes, the corners of Zhou Bao's mouth curled up, and he could not help but laugh.
The first time he had any impression of the White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou was when he was chasing after Xue Wuya, implicating himself and causing him to be caught in the crossfire. Later, after his martial arts had reached a certain level, he had fought with him a few times. It could not be considered as a formal interaction. Every time, he had caused trouble for him, but every time, it was not a direct confrontation.
It could be said that among the countless experts in the world, Lu Shaoyou was the one who left the deepest impression on Zhou Bao in his childhood. However, Zhou Bao did not have a good impression of him. If it were not for Lu Shaoyou, he would not have been caught by Xue Wuya. Although he had gained great benefits from Xue Wuya, he did not want to go through that experience again. Therefore, he was not grateful to Lu Shaoyou.
Of course, it was not to the extent that Zhou Bao hated Lu Shaoyou. In his eyes, there was nothing disgusting about Lu Shaoyou, except that he was too hypocritical.
It was just that Wang She did not get along with him, and Zhou Bao had directly or indirectly ruined several of his plans, which made him feel that he and Lu Shaoyou were not the same kind of people.
Lu Shaoyou's sword light was fast, sharp, and full of murderous intent. It could be said that this sword move was a sure kill.
"What a powerful guy! He can actually restrain his murderous intent and only release it in front of me. It's heart-rending and heart-rending. He is indeed worthy of the name Sword Sage!"
Zhou Bao sighed in his heart, but he did not hesitate. He raised his hand and punched.
A punch!
It was a light punch, as if he had been sitting in a chair for too long and wanted to move his muscles and bones. So he waved his hand and pushed his fist.
The seemingly powerless punch was thrown out just like that.
It was directly facing Lu Shaoyou's frightening sword light.
Punching the sword light with his fist, especially the sword light of the world-famous Sword Sage, in the eyes of others, was an act of courting death.
"Oh no!"
Others thought so, but Lu Shaoyou, who was under the fist, did not think so. When Zhou Bao waved his fist, he saw a fist, but in his spiritual mind, he felt as if the whole world had turned over. His sword was not aimed at the fist, but at a meteor falling from the Ninth Heaven. A vast and boundless power was condensed in one place by Zhou Bao's fist and waved over.
But at this time, it was too late for him to withdraw his sword. Although his swordsmanship could be controlled and withdrawn at will, Zhou Bao did not give him a chance to do so. His seemingly light punch was extremely fast, not slower than the speed of his sword light at all.
Therefore, the fist and the sword collided with each other with a bang.
Clatter!
Zhou Bao's green robe was blown by a strong wind, making a flapping sound, but he still sat upright. Lu Shaoyou's sword light disappeared under the fist. Like the big man just now, Lu Shaoyou's body flew backward.
But Lu Shaoyou was Lu Shaoyou. He was a Level Eight expert, only half a step away from the Level Nine Realm. This ability was not something a Level Five or Six Junior Master could compare with. His body emitted a burst of white sword light in the air, holding his body up and stabilizing it in the air.
In the eyes of the onlookers, the two exchanged a punch and a sword. Zhou Bao did not move, but Lu Shaoyou was sent flying back. He suffered a small loss, but it was not a big loss. He was just slightly inferior and at a disadvantage. That was all.
Lu Shaoyou knew his own situation. Others thought he was only slightly inferior, but he knew he had already lost.
That sword strike just now was full of anger. Although he did not use his full strength, he used 70% of his strength. But the strength of the opponent's punch was more than 10 times stronger than his 70% strength. Moreover, it was a follow-up punch. Even if he used 100% of his strength, he could not be a match for Zhou Bao.
What's more, the Sword Qi that he was proud of had been completely destroyed by the scorching strength contained in the opponent's fist strength. The opponent's flame strength also invaded his body along the Sword Qi. Now he was barely standing in mid-air with sword light and Gang Qi, but his tendons and meridians had already become a mess. His tendons and meridians were damaged, and his Dantian was injured. It could be said that he had completely lost his combat capability.
"Who is this man? When did such a terrible expert appear in the world?" Lu Shaoyou's face was pale. He used his Internal Qi to suppress his internal injury and looked at Zhou Bao in horror.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, and a name appeared in his mind.
"You are Zhou Bao from Yunzhou?" He pointed at Zhou Bao and said in a bitter tone.
"Hehe, it's a great honor for such a lowly name to enter the ears of the Great Sword Sage Lu!" Zhou Bao laughed and cupped his hands. "I am Zhou Bao!"
"You are Zhou Bao. So the rumor is true?" Although he was full of disbelief, he thought of some rumors he heard from the top management of Mingyi School when he came back yesterday and believed it.
"Rumor? Are you talking about these two fellows?! " Zhou Bao smiled coldly and raised his hand. Two portraits shot out and were nailed to the opposite street wall. "My purpose of coming here this time is also for them!"
Glancing at the two portraits, Lu Shaoyou's face became even paler. "You, how do you know —"
"If you don't want people to know, don't do it!" Zhou Bao stood up abruptly. With his movement, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose and the air began to evaporate.
"Wang Haiming, You Tianjing, you two set up a trap to kill me and attempted to murder an official of the imperial court. Today, I, Zhou Bao, am coming to settle accounts with you. If you are a man, come out. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving face to Mingyi School!" Zhou Bao shouted harshly. His loud voice was like thunder from the Ninth Heaven, rolling down and covering the whole Mingyi Lane.
His voice contained an incomparably awe-inspiring majesty, just like the angry roar of the Ninth Heaven Deity, which made people tremble with fear. Those with low cultivation couldn't control their minds at all, and their legs went soft. As for the ordinary people in Mingyi Lane, especially those scholars, they had never seen such an expert show his power. Their legs went soft and they knelt down one by one, while those who were less courageous had already wet their pants and feces.
Lu Shaoyou's face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He swayed in the air and almost fell to the ground.
"It's impossible. How could it be? How could this guy have such vigorous Internal Qi at such a young age?"
For a moment, all the experts had the same question and shock in their minds.
At this time, there were 23 experts in Mingyi School, including the Elders and the Deacons. In Mingyi Lane, in addition to the experts of Mingyi School, there were also guests from various families staying in some inns to watch the ceremony.
As one of the three biggest sects in Jin, it was not rare for someone to be promoted to an Elder, but it was still a big deal. Naturally, they had to invite people to watch the ceremony. Those who were friends with Mingyi School and qualified to watch the ceremony were naturally of high status. Therefore, there was no lack of experts above Level Seven among the guests. At this time, when these experts calmed down, almost all of them had the same idea: How did this guy practice? Why does he have such vigorous Internal Qi?
After that, the reactions of the various families were naturally different. Some were gloating, some were gloomy, some were suspicious, and some were worried. Most of them were shocked, at a loss, and even felt as if they were in a dream.
"It's impossible to have such vigorous Internal Qi without the accumulation of 300 or 400 years. He's not even 20 years old. Is he really a peerless genius?" They were at a loss. "Acupoints, this guy must have cultivated other acupoints.
"Acupoints, this guy must have opened other acupoints, so he has such a strong Internal Qi. However, how did he open acupoints? Does he know the method of opening acupoints? This wonderful method has been lost for a long time. Even in Tian Long Taoism, it is in the hands of several Highest Elders and is kept secret. How could he know it? Unless he is a secret weapon cultivated by Tian Long Taoism!"
"Cultivating and opening acupoints? How is that possible? The method of cultivating and opening acupoints is extremely dangerous. Even if one has entered the Mysterious Realm, he still needs to be extremely careful. Otherwise, he'll be doomed eternally. He's only at Level Eight. How could he have cultivated and opened acupoints?"
"Now there's going to be a good show. The Mingyi School has provoked such a little monster. Hehe, today was supposed to be a good day for Ji Zhongtang to be promoted to an Elder. Now that he has made a scene, the Mingyi School has lost all its face!"
"Tian Long Taoism has accepted a good disciple!"
"Besiege him. Why did Mingyi School besiege him? Moreover, two Elders besiege him at the same time. What did he do? Did he dig up the ancestral graves of Mingyi School? "
For a moment, all kinds of thoughts were hovering in everyone's mind. Everyone wanted to see how Mingyi School would deal with this.
If they were careless, the reputation of Mingyi School, which had lasted for thousands of years, would probably be destroyed.
Silence, a terrible silence!
After Zhou Bao's stern rebuke, the whole Mingyi Lane fell into a terrible silence again. Everyone's attention was focused on the Mingyi Tower and the headquarters of Mingyi School.
They wanted to see how this millennium-old powerhouse would deal with it.
At the same time, the Mingyi School was also in a mess, a mess that was embarrassing to look at.
"Unforgivable, completely unforgivable. This guy, how dare he disturb the Mingyi School's Promotion Assembly and embarrass us in public. He must die, he must die!" The eyes of the Headmaster of Mingyi School were completely red, like a crazy rabbit.
It had been many years since such a thing had happened. Someone had dared to stir up trouble on Mingyi Lane. Not only was it stirring up trouble, but it was also a provocation. It was a slap in the face of the Mingyi School in front of so many prestigious sects and millennium-old families.
"Too arrogant! Too arrogant! I'm going to kill that guy. I'm going to peel his skin and fry his bones!"
An angry roar came from the Mingyi Tower. A dark and majestic figure shot out from the tower and rushed to Zhou Bao.
"First Elder Yuan, don't —!"
Although the headmaster of the Mingyi School was extremely angry, he was still rational. Although he did not participate in the siege of Zhou Bao, he had learned from Wang Haiming and You Tianjing how terrible Zhou Bao was. A person who could kill his way out of the Sumeru Formation of Nine Palaces, kill four Level Eight experts, and seize a Pure Yang Celestial Device, was definitely not someone an ordinary Level Nine expert could deal with.
Although First Elder Yuan was already a Level Nine expert, it was hard to tell who would win if he really fought with Zhou Bao. The most troublesome thing was that First Elder Yuan was one of the two Level Nine trump cards of Mingyi School. If anything happened to him, Mingyi School would be doomed.
However, it was a pity that he called out too late.
First Elder Yuan had a fiery temper. He had been born in the Mingyi School since he was a child, so he could not tolerate anything. How could he tolerate Zhou Bao insulting the Mingyi School in Mingyi Lane?
"It's Yuan Hai!"
"Yuan Hai came out. Hehe, one of the two Level Nine Elders of Mingyi School. He came out so soon!"
"Mingyi School is really decisive. A Level Nine expert came out all of a sudden. It seems that they don't want Zhou Bao to make trouble here and want to solve this problem as soon as possible!"
Seeing the figure that shot out from the Mingyi Tower, the experts who were watching the ceremony thought to themselves.
"Zhou Bao's Internal Qi is indeed vigorous, but a Level Nine expert has already comprehended the power of Real Essence and possesses the Real Essence Seed, so the quality of his Internal Qi is much higher than that of ordinary Internal Qi. It's hard to say who will win!"
… …
… …
"A Level Nine expert?!" Seeing the figure suddenly coming, Zhou Bao's eyes flashed with a smile and his expression became serious.
"Boy, how dare you provoke Mingyi School! Go to hell!" But it was obvious that Elder Yuan was a hot-tempered person. As soon as he appeared, he did not even say a word. Instead, he slapped toward Zhou Bao with his palm, intending to kill him with one blow.
This palm was no ordinary palm, but an extremely powerful secret skill called the Heaven Engulfing Palm!
Although Yuan Hai was hot-tempered, as a Level Nine expert, he was not blind. Zhou Bao repelled Lu Shaoyou with one punch and won the encirclement of 10 Level Eight experts. His strength could not be underestimated. Therefore, Yuan Hai did not hold back at all. As soon as he appeared, he used his trump card to kill Zhou Bao with one blow.
As soon as the Sky-covering Palm was used, the wind and clouds surged. The essence of the world within a radius of thousands of feet was completely drawn and condensed. The originally clear sky was filled with cloud-like essence of the world in the blink of an eye. Finally, it condensed into a huge palm with a radius of hundreds of feet, covering the sky and covering the earth.
The sky darkened.
When a powerful person's cultivation reached a certain level, he could use his Real Essence to trigger the power of heaven and earth and exert incredible power, just like what Yuan Hai did now. The huge palm fiercely slapped down from the sky towards Zhou Bao, as if it was slapping an ant. Yuan Hai wanted to kill Zhou Bao with one blow.
"Humph, do you think I don't know the secret skill?!"
Feeling the shocking coercion brought by the Sky-covering Palm, Zhou Bao just sneered. He put his hands together and made a strange gesture. Black flames gushed out from his body and formed a pair of hands that were completely made of black flames.
"Relying on the power of heaven and earth, the power is indeed strong. Unfortunately, your cultivation is too shallow. The power is scattered but not condensed. Such a big palm can only be used to scare people!" Zhou Bao shouted loudly, "Look at my Flipping Sky Seal!"
Flipping Sky Seal!
This was a Secret Skill he had obtained when he was cleaning up the water bandits on River Heart Island. Speaking of it, it was an extremely profound and powerful Secret Skill. Those water bandits could not understand it at all, nor could they learn it. Although he had practiced it, he had never used it. Because he knew too many things and had too many means, there were too few opportunities for him to use this secret skill. It could even be said that there was none. When facing an opponent, he did not need to use this secret skill at all. He only needed to launch the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill to completely suppress the opponent's power. But today, the situation was different.
Although he said that Yuan Hai's Sky-covering Palm was worthless, he knew very well that the power of heaven and earth was not so easy to deal with, so he used this secret skill.
Two hands made of black flames quickly made the same gesture as his own hands. Zhou Bao's hands suddenly turned up and went straight to the huge palm with a radius of more than 100 feet.
This was a very ridiculous scene.
Under the huge palm, Zhou Bao was like a small ant. But now, this small ant was trying to use his weak and ridiculous power to fight against the huge palm with the power of heaven and earth. It was like a baby trying to lift a heavy iron hammer. It was impossible.
But was it really impossible?
Everything happened in a flash. The huge palm slapped down and the handprint turned up.
In the blink of an eye, the Flaming Handprint and the huge palm collided.
"Uh —!" Zhou Bao gave a low muffled groan and gently took a step back, leaving a shallow footprint. His green robe was stirred up by the wind. With him as the center, the violent essence of the world formed a pneuma flow comparable to a tornado, sweeping in all directions.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh —
Boom, boom, boom —
Bursts of violent sounds rang out in the strong wind and clouds. Faintly, there was a trace of lightning and thunder.
Among the onlookers, the weaker ones couldn't stand still at all. They were rolled up by the out of control airflow and thrown far away. Even those Level Seven experts were on the verge of collapsing in the collision of the incomparably huge essence of the world and kept retreating.
After a while, the clouds and fog dispersed. With Zhou Bao as the center, a huge pit with a diameter of 300 feet and a depth of 40 to 50 feet appeared in front of everyone.
The poor tofu shop had long disappeared. With the pit as the center, the surrounding houses collapsed in a radial shape, expanding to a radius of 300 feet.
What did 300 feet mean?
Using the unit of measurement in Zhou Bao's previous life, it was one kilometer. The suggestion of a radius of one kilometer had been completely destroyed.
This was Mingyi Lane, a crowded downtown area. Such a result was like a terrorist detonating a bomb in a downtown area of the United States. Needless to say, there would be heavy casualties.
Of course, what people cared about now was not the casualties, but the outcome!
"Hehe, you are indeed a Level Nine expert. You really have some skills!" In the pit, Zhou Bao smiled slightly and patted his green robe, stirring up some dust.
The huge palm had already dispersed. Although the essence of the world around was chaotic, it had returned to normal and calm.
The First Elder of Mingyi School stood in the air with his eyes wide open, but there were traces of blood at the corners of his eyes. Not only the corners of his eyes, but also his nostrils, ears, and mouth.
He was bleeding from his Seven Apertures!
"Puff —!"
Finally, Yuan Hai, who was bleeding from his Seven Apertures, spat out a mouthful of blood mist and fell straight from the sky. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.
"Wow —!"
There was an uproar.
