Void Butcher's expression changed as soon as his plan worked. Li Qingshan was half-kneeling in a pile of rubble, his left hand gripping the Buddhist staff tightly. No matter how hard Void Butcher tried, the Buddhist staff would not budge.
Li Qingshan appeared to have been sent flying by the Buddhist staff, but in reality, he had reached out to grab the staff at a critical moment and slammed it against the wall. A normal second-rate fighter would have been injured even if they had reacted this way. However, with his bronze skin and iron bones, he was practically unscathed.
Even though he lacked combat experience, he was a true combat genius. His reaction and strategy when facing an enemy were top-notch.
"You're asking for it!" Void Butcher snickered, looking extremely ferocious.
Li Qingshan felt a strong wave of inner energy travel through the Buddhist staff and surge into his body.
A battle of inner energy was the most dangerous battle in Jianghu. Whoever withdrew their inner energy first and could not withstand it would have their opponent's inner energy invade their body, break through their Dantian, and tear apart their meridians. It was a fight to the death.
Void Butcher was confident that with the inner energy he had cultivated for decades, Li Qingshan would not be able to withstand it. In his eyes, Li Qingshan was an idiot who thought he was smart. He was surprised that Li Qingshan did not vomit blood and die immediately, so he increased the output of his inner energy.
In terms of strength alone, Void Butcher's inner energy was indeed stronger than Li Qingshan's. Li Qingshan felt a wave of Qi flow into his body. This Qi flow was much more turbid than his True Qi, so he knew that it was inner energy. However, there was a hint of clarity in this turbidity. Void Butcher was almost at the Innate Stage and was only one step away from converting his inner energy into True Qi.
However, the problem was that Li Qingshan's True Qi was not stored in his Dantian, and he had not even cultivated a single meridian. This inner energy was quickly devoured by the True Qi in Li Qingshan's body and converted into his own energy. Not only was it harmless, but it was also beneficial. Li Qingshan did not intend to retaliate immediately, so he allowed Void Butcher to channel his inner energy into him.
Cold sweat broke out on Void Butcher's forehead. Why was this kid so strange? Was this the effect of the spiritual ginseng? However, he did not dare to relax his grip.
At this moment, a black shadow swooped down from the eaves and went straight for the gourd on Li Qingshan's waist. It turned out that someone had seized the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of the situation.
With a flash of green light, the black figure swooped down and landed on the ground in two halves. Little Ann appeared and casually killed the thief. His sword pierced through the air.
Void Butcher's heart skipped a beat when he saw this extremely strange skeleton. The circulation of his inner energy had slowed down by thirty percent. The sword that was no weaker than an all-out attack from a first-rate master had scared him out of his wits.
Sensing that Void Butcher had withdrawn his inner energy and was about to abandon his staff and retreat, Li Qingshan would not let go of such a great opportunity. The True Qi in his body turned from a dam to a raging tide and surged into Void Butcher's body.
Even though his True Qi was not strong, it was extremely sharp. It cut through Void Butcher's inner energy like a knife cutting through tofu and rampaged through his meridians, Dantian, and organs.
Void Butcher spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward. He crashed through two walls and was buried in a pile of rubble.
Li Qingshan stood up, but his eyes were still fixed on the pile of rubble. He ordered, "Little Ann, silence him!"
Little Ann immediately disappeared into the darkness. Three screams came from three different directions. They were separated by less than a breath. Other than the man Just Now, there were still others who wanted to be the fisherman. They saw Little Ann's appearance.
Boom!
Rubble flew everywhere. Void Butcher stood up again. His body swayed as he glared at Li Qingshan viciously. He reached into his robes and took out a porcelain bottle.
What he feared had come true! Li Qingshan could clearly see the dazzling spiritual light that shone from the bottle after the stopper was opened. If even a second-rate master like Xiong Xiangwu could take out a Titan Talisman, then these first-rate masters who were more powerful and had more connections might also have a trump card or two that did not belong to the realm of martial arts.
Void Butcher took out a fiery red pill and tossed it into his mouth. He crushed it with his teeth, and his body immediately swelled up as if he had been filled with air. His arms thickened, his muscles bulged, and his veins popped.
Body Eruption Pill!
Back then, in order to obtain this bottle of pills, Void Butcher had gone bankrupt. He had robbed thirteen wealthy families and killed more than a hundred people before he managed to exchange for three pills. This bottle of pills could not be used for cultivation or healing. Not only would consuming it be useless, it could even harm the user. However, it could instantly stimulate a person's potential, allowing them to burst forth with demonic powers.
Void Butcher let out a wild roar and charged at Li Qingshan like a chariot.
Li Qingshan sighed. He did not choose to fight head-on. Instead, he reached for the Cursive Sword Calligraphy on his back.
Sword Qi flashed.
Li Qingshan walked out of the ruined alleyway and dusted himself off. "Unfortunately, I can't leave your corpse intact, nor can I send you off to the afterlife. I don't have the time to burn joss paper for you." Behind him, the alleyway had already been reduced to ruins. The corpse of the infamous Mad Monk, Void Butcher, had been split in half. His eyes were wide open, and he had died with a grievance.
He had asked Little Ann to kill him not only to hide Little Ann, but also to hide the spiritual artifact in his hand. He had a feeling that if this piece of calligraphy was seen by someone with ulterior motives, it would cause an uproar that would be even greater than the spiritual ginseng.
Li Qingshan held the Buddhist staff in one hand. Although, according to Oxen, this kind of spiritual artifact that was purely imbued with spiritual light was an inferior spiritual artifact, it was still a spiritual artifact. He could not bear to throw it away. In his other hand, he held a porcelain bottle with a pill inside. It was the same pill that Void Butcher had taken.
"So this is all there is to a First-rate Master. But I don't think I'm an Innate Master either!" Li Qingshan thought strangely. He was confident that he could defeat Void Butcher with his martial arts without relying on any external objects. If he were to use his trump card, his trump card would not be any weaker than anyone else's.
Li Qingshan carried the Buddhist staff and continued walking towards the restaurant. The people of Jianghu who were watching the battle in the dark were all silent and shocked. The battle between the Mad Monk and the Black Tiger. One was a famous First-rate Master, while the other was a greenhorn. No one had expected the Black Tiger to win, and win so easily.
Liu Hong hurried back to the Iron Fist and reported to Hall Leader Wu and Master Feng.
"Mad Monk Void Butcher! He's also here for the spiritual ginseng to break through to the Innate Realm. That kid is probably dead. "Hall Leader Wu frowned. Even if he were to go against the Mad Monk Void Butcher, it would be difficult for him to win. Of course, he did not care about Li Qingshan's fate. Instead, he cared about the spiritual ginseng. "Master Feng, what do you think?"
Master Feng said, "Let's go and have a look. I'll deal with the monk. He made it onto the Hawkwolf Guard's list this morning, but the higher-ups never found the time to deal with him. Since they've run into him today, it's time for him to die."
As soon as the three of them emerged from the Iron Fist, they received the news that the Mad Monk Void Butcher was dead.
