Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 43 Internal Strength Transforms into Qi

Bai Li Ce acted in the blink of an eye.

They then ascertained the martial arts level of the newcomer.

Then he couldn't help but laugh in anger. Although there was another strong man with terrifying killing intent behind him, who was watching him like a tiger, he was really not taking him seriously. A mere third-level martial artist dared to launch a head-on attack.

But his expression quickly changed again.

This person's swordsmanship is only at the beginner level, not yet at the level of perfection. However, when the blade strikes, it is powerful and heavy, like a heavy hammer hitting down.

In just a moment.

It made him feel numbness in his muscles and bones.

Moreover, the internal energy transmitted from the blade was extremely cold and sinister, almost causing his powerful internal energy to solidify and become extremely slow to circulate.

"This is... a secret power?!"

"You are a third-level martial artist who has not yet entered the inner strength stage. If you did not have the inheritance of a sect, how could you have developed such secret power?"

Bai Li Ce seemed to have thought of something.

His expression was one of horror.

He immediately mustered his inner strength, trying to escape the area covered by the blade's light.

"A mere third-stage cultivator can not only withstand my direct confrontation, but his internal energy also carries such an extremely chilling and secret power. You are definitely not from Songshan County... Xuanxiao Sect? Could you be someone from Xuanxiao Sect?"

He thought of a possibility.

He quickly added, "Fellow practitioners, I am a steward of the Divine Fist Sect. I have just arrived in Songshan County to select disciples for my sect. If I have offended your sect in any way, please forgive me..."

'Buzz'

At this time.

The powerful gust of wind generated by the battle suddenly tore the black cloth off Qin Jiu's face.

Bai Li Ce froze instantly.

"You, you..."

"His inner strength is truly astounding; he withstood several of my attacks head-on without sustaining any damage."

Qin Jiu exhaled a breath of stale air.

After that, one no longer holds back one's qi, blood, and strength.

The swords flashed.

The room was soon filled with afterimages of blade light.

Baili Ce, who was opposite him, was initially horrified when he saw the appearance of the people fighting, and even stuttered a little when he spoke. But when he heard the last sentence, his face turned ashen.

What does it mean to be so powerful?

He took several of his attacks head-on and was unharmed?

Bai Li Ce felt as if he had swallowed a dead child, his heart heavy with unease. He was no ordinary strongman; his lineage came from a major sect in Ning'an Prefecture, making him virtually invincible among his peers, let alone in a remote county town.

The inner strength of this place.

He was confident that killing him would be effortless.

However, to hear such a sentence now, especially coming from the mouth of a third-level martial artist, is simply too insulting.

But Bai Lize had to admit it.

The young man before them possessed terrifying strength, even surpassing the direct disciples of the Divine Fist Sect by a significant margin.

Just those blades of light, each carrying terrifying and monstrous power.

This kept him busy dealing with it.

Not to mention the sinister internal energy that is as sharp as silk.

"How could such a hidden talent emerge from a small, remote county? Ruan Chen has misled me."

Bai Li Ce sighed inwardly.

He then spoke loudly again: "Young friend Qin, this may be a misunderstanding. Martial arts prodigy like you is rare even in my Divine Fist Sect. Why don't we lay down our weapons and come with me to the Divine Fist Sect?"

"I guarantee that after you join the sect..."

"At least he is a true disciple of the inner sect."

"Are you joking at this moment?"

Qin Jiu's brows carried a chilling indifference.

The long sword in his hand did not stop.

Instead, it became even more violent.

Its inexhaustible internal energy, supported by the withered tree blossoming in spring, was almost operating at its limit, and the cold light raised by the blade shadow almost materialized.

"Boom!"

Suddenly.

The four wooden walls could not withstand the fierce wind.

The roof exploded with a deafening roar.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the air.

In an instant.

A flash of sword light sent up a spray of blood.

A magnificent head shot into the sky in an instant.

'Plop'

The headless corpse fell to the ground.

Qin Jiu sheathed his sword and stood upright, his eyes slightly closed, and his Illuminating Talent was activated.

"There are still several pairs of eyes watching this place."

"You two don't need to stand guard anymore."

"Let's go and take care of them first."

The words fell softly.

The two men who had blocked Baili Ce's retreat were shot out at the same time, and within a few breaths, screams could be heard.

Qin Jiu's eyes were dark, and his face was expressionless.

What happened tonight.

No one could know that it was the Qin family who did it.

Otherwise, he couldn't afford the consequences.

Since these people chose to stay and watch, even if they didn't see his face, they still wanted to be as thorough as possible just in case.

After all, there are always unexpected events in the world.

And Qin Jiu.

I don't like this kind of accident.

After confirming that nothing was missed.

Only then did he step forward to search for Baili Ce's body.

"Ruan Chen mentioned before that the reason they were able to avoid demons was due to the medicine distributed by the Divine Fist Sect. It's a pity I didn't find any special medicine on those two. Hopefully, I can find something on Baili Ce."

Qin Jiu pondered and began searching.

If that drug can be found.

The Qin family can leave Songshan County as soon as possible. As for retreating into the pass, they can go to Ning'an Prefecture first and then figure out a solution.

After a while.

He took the items off Baili Ce's body.

He then hurriedly left the inn.

After all, nearly fifteen minutes had already passed from the start of the battle to its end, and further delays might lead to unforeseen complications.

......

The Qin residence, east wing.

Not long after Qin Jiu returned.

Wang Yue and Qin Xuanzhou returned quickly as well.

"Master, I have secretly sent men to retrieve all the gold and silver from the Han family's secret treasury. Would you like to go and count them yourself?"

"Go and take inventory."

Qin Jiu waved his hand, then asked, "Have those bodies been disposed of?"

"It has been dealt with."

Qin Xuanzhou nodded.

He then bowed with reverence and left the east wing.

After he left.

Wang Yue then spoke, his voice far from calm, saying, "Young Master, your current strength truly makes you capable of standing on your own."

"It's still early."

Qin Jiu shook his head slightly.

He was unwilling to discuss the topic.

In fact.

During his previous battle with Baili Ce, he spent most of the time fully activating the "Withered Tree Rejuvenates" technique; otherwise, his meridians would have been severed long ago.

Therefore, strength.

It's not really at the level of internal strength.

"Oh, right."

"Are you familiar with the Xuanxiao Sect that Baili Ce mentioned earlier? Furthermore, what is this so-called internal energy secret power?"

"Xuanxiao Sect..."

Wang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "This old servant doesn't know much about it."

"I only know that the Xuanxiao Sect is one of the two major sects in Ning'an Prefecture. Its strength should be on par with the Divine Fist Sect. In the early years, my master had also considered going to Ning'an Prefecture to join these two major sects, but later, due to various reasons, it came to nothing."

"As for the internal strength and secret power you mentioned."

"This leads us to the concept of internal strength, which means using internal energy to nourish the five internal organs and six bowels, thereby achieving the goal of strengthening oneself internally."

"At this level, if one receives the blessing of a secret technique, one can cultivate the five elements of secret power in the five internal organs. This secret power is the foundation of 'internal strength transforming into qi' in the future. Without this secret power, it means that one's martial arts can only stop at the internal strength level. As for the secret technique, this old servant cannot explain it clearly. After all, in this county, the only one who is truly above the internal strength level is the county magistrate."
