Chapter 316 – How Do I Start Writing Two (2/2)

Li Qingshan grinned. The bones throughout his entire body thrummed as he mobilised all the true qi in his dantian. Nothing happened when he remained still, but once he struck, he would unleash his full strength.

His vision suddenly dimmed, as if a wall had appeared out of nowhere, blocking his path to Han Tieyi.

The giant lumberman Mu Kui let out a furious roar. Lifting his arms over his head, he swung them down like battering rams.

He was the otherperson who had once competed against Li Qingshan in a trial of strength. He was naturally endowed with unrivalled physical strength, and he had spent most of the past year working diligently, allowing his strength to reach a whole new level. He wanted payback right now.

Thump! The platform at the very top of the steps seemed to shake.

The punch and the battering rams collided.

Mu Kui was overwhelmed with shock. Under an overwhelming force, his colossal body stumbled backwards before he collapsed on his bottom in the end.

Li Qingshan maintained his posture of throwing a punch without taking a single step back.

The ox demon had provided him with great physical strength, while the tiger demon had provided him with unrivalled explosive power. Together, he could even force back a giant lumberman who was naturally endowed with strength.

However, Mu Kui’s obstruction gave the military disciples the opportunity to stop Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan looked around.

The strongest disciple present at the eighth layer had already arrived before him. His fists actually burned with flames, fusing his abilities as a Body Practitioner and a Qi Practitioner together. Even Li Qingshan could not afford to underestimate him.

A little further away, over a dozen seventh layer Qi Practitioners unleashed their various techniques and shone with an assortment of colours. Even further away, several hundred men of the school of the Military formed a sea of surging heads, lunging over like a wolf pack that had spotted prey.

In front of him, Mu Kui had stood up again; he spread out his arms, refusing to let Li Qingshan pass.

“That’s more like it! Come get me together!”

Li Qingshan laughed before turning around and charging into the crowd. He was like a fierce tiger that had climbed to the very top of the mountain before turning around and lunging back down.

The Tiger Demon Descends from the Mountain!

The first in line was a seventh layer Qi Practitioner. He wielded his palm like a knife as Geng Metal true qi condensed a blade. His moves were as swift as lightning, specialising in tearing through protective true qi.

The path of the military did not have any spectacular techniques, but what they could do was condense all their power into a single point, forming a simple but highly effective killing move.

His plan was that as long as he could force back Li Qingshan by even half a step, they would be able to fall into formation and launch combined attacks against Li Qingshan. By then, no matter how capable Li Qingshan was, he would not be able to break free. He would be a sitting duck.

Li Qingshan only attacked without defending. He allowed the Geng Metal blade to land on him while all he did was smile viciously and throw a punch.

At that moment, whoever retreated would take a great blow to their momentum.

If that’s the case, then I’ll make you suffer. The military disciple gritted his teeth and swung down hard.

Even an idiot knew what was more damaging—being struck by a punch or being chopped by a blade.

With a thump, the military disciple took off like a broken kite, falling down the steps and colliding against his fellow officers. His eyes were wide open. All he saw was a white mark on Li Qingshan’s shoulder, which soon disappeared.

Just what kind of body tempering techniques did he practise? That was the final thought that flashed through his head before he fainted.

Li Qingshan’s Gui Water true qi was extremely pure. Although it could not block the Geng Metal blade qi completely, it could slow it down momentarily. Before it could even land on him properly, Li Qingshan interrupted the attack with his punch, and the residual power was nowhere near enough to get through his Ox Demon Forges its Hide.

We’re both seventh layer Qi Practitioners, but my physical strength is greater, my speed is faster, and even my true qi is more pure. How are you supposed to contend against me?

Li Qingshan attacked every single direction, like a tiger within a flock of sheep. All he saw were figures. There was no need for him to consider what moves he would use. All he did was throw his arms and legs about, and the military disciples would be sent flying as they called out one by one.

Above, there were also a few drillmasters of the school of the Military besides Han Tieyi. They could all tell that Li Qingshan was not a brute on a mindless rampage. From the beginning till end, he did not give the strongest few disciples the opportunity to surround him. Their fellow officers had instead become their obstacles.

It was truly shocking that he could still grasp the entire situation despite how chaotic it was. Even more shockingly, he actually seemed to be trying to defeat all of these disciples alone.

An old drillmaster asserted, “It’s impossible for his physical strength and true qi to last that long.”

Fifteen minutes later, half of the military disciples had already collapsed. All of them could fight no more. Some of them had even fainted, directly rolling down the steps, and this was all with Li Qingshan holding back, or they would have been dead.

On the other hand, Li Qingshan was still as energetic as ever, without the slightest hint of exhaustion. Instead, he was in high spirits, calling out, “Satisfying!” He grabbed a military disciple by the leg and whirled him around a few times like a weapon before throwing him far away.

The drillmasters were utterly astounded. The old drillmaster from earlier added again, “This kid truly has taken me by surprise, but he won’t be able to last much longer.”

Sure enough, Li Qingshan’s true qi had already begun to run out. He would only use his true qi to block relatively more dangerous attacks, which earned a series of nods from the drillmasters.
