I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 144 - 124: Slaying an Inner Power Realm Expert

Chapter 144: Chapter 124: Slaying an Inner Power Realm Expert

Besides being a geological survey genius, Fang Xuanling once apprenticed at the Great Tang Gunpowder Bureau and spent some time learning the use of firearms and gunpowder.

However, due to youthful arrogance and clashes with his superiors, he was directly expelled from the Gunpowder Bureau, and later recruited by Liu Xian to become a guest of the Liu family.

When mining gold, if relying solely on manual labor, it would certainly take a long time, possibly months without digging several zhang deep, so Liu Xian secretly granted Liu Zhizhang the right to use black gunpowder for blasting.

Everything developed by the Gunpowder Bureau was considered a forbidden item by the court, only usable by the military and approved officials.

As a famous city in Jiangnan, Yangzhou Prefecture naturally had black gunpowder reserves, and Liu Xian, as the Prefect of Yangzhou, could secretly redirect a batch of black gunpowder outside, which became extremely plausible.

As long as no one from above came down to inspect, nobody knew what Liu Xian was really up to.

"Since Mister has already set everything up, let’s proceed with the blasts, aiming to open three more tunnels today," Liu Zhizhang stood and said.

...

Qin Yuesheng stood atop a tree branch, concealed by the foliage, making it difficult for anyone nearby to spot him.

Gazing at the open-pit mining site, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but reveal a hint of shock on his face.

This Liu Zhizhang was truly discreet, quietly executing such a large-scale operation within Meteor Mountain.

How much manpower and resources must have been invested into this?

If not for Liu Zhizhang’s frequent excursions under the alias ’Here I Am’ to pick flowers, Qin Yuesheng might never have discovered such a secret within Meteor Mountain in his lifetime.

Scanning the open-pit site, Qin Yuesheng’s eyes immediately locked onto a wooden building.

He saw the door on the second floor open, and a group of people walked out.

The young man in the lead was followed by two others, and as he descended the stairs, the guards below immediately surrounded him, clearly indicating his high status. It should undoubtedly be Liu Zhizhang.

Several people followed behind Liu Zhizhang, but due to the distance, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t see them clearly.

"Enough talk, time to get to work." Qin Yuesheng reached into the Celestial Demon pouch, retrieved the Rakshasa mask, and put it on.

"Time to act." Qin Yuesheng lightly tapped his chest, and the Soul-Catching Demon immediately adhered to his left arm, transforming into the Soul-Catching Arm.

The arm displayed a disturbing flow of male and female faces.

Swish!

Ready to go, Qin Yuesheng leapt forward, instantly charging toward the open-pit mining site.

As soon as Qin Yuesheng appeared, it immediately stirred a commotion among the supervisors at the site.

The two inner power experts standing behind Liu Zhizhang pulled him behind them, eyes fixed intensely on Qin Yuesheng, who soared like a great roc.

"Protect the young master," an elderly man with a mustache shrieked.

Immediately, the guards drew their waist swords and positioned themselves in front of Liu Zhizhang.

Boom!

Qin Yuesheng landed heavily, causing a notable commotion as cracks radiated from where his feet touched the ground.

"Attack!" Liu Zhizhang commanded, looking at Qin Yuesheng with the Rakshasa mask.

Immediately, all the guards brandished their swords, fearlessly charging at Qin Yuesheng.

Buzz!

As Qin Yuesheng wielded the Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber, a resonant blade hum reverberated. The guards’ swords were uncontrollably drawn to the ground, influenced by the blade’s hum.

This phenomenon was something Qin Yuesheng noticed when he wielded his saber at the Red Saber Stronghold before; as a second-rate blade skill, the Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber’s hum seemed to affect others’ weapons.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each sword automatically embedded into the soil, their hilts vibrating, creating a rather mystical scene.

Qin Yuesheng slashed out, and two guards, unable to evade, had their chests instantly cleaved by the sword qi. If Qin Yuesheng had been closer, the two would have been split in half.

"This man’s strength is formidable; ordinary guards can’t handle him," said one of the inner power realm martial artists standing in front of Liu Zhizhang. "Second Brother, you protect the young master, I will deal with him."

Saying this, he dashed out of the crowd, drawing his sword from the scabbard on his back.

Snap!

Immediately, a massive wave of sword qi-like inner strength soared from his blade, enveloping Qin Yuesheng’s position.

Faced with the rain-like, impenetrable sword qi,

Qin Yuesheng rarely felt such pressure; this was an inner power realm martial artist! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Realizing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Qin Yuesheng’s face.

What was happening today, encountering two inner power realm martial artists in a row? Before Bai Hao came to Cyan Yang City, there hadn’t been a single one.

In an instant, Qin Yuesheng quickly swung his blade to counter, and though his blade emitted just one saber qi, its power was not inferior to the opponent’s.

Facing the onslaught of sword qi, Qin Yuesheng agilely maneuvered within the gaps, pushing the Spiritual Swallow Body Skill to its limits. He moved with unparalleled agility, weaving through the sword qi.

Simultaneously, Qin Yuesheng counterattacked with his saber, executing the Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber to its fullest, sweeping a sword qi across the field, shattering any approaching sword qi.

After several exchanges.

The saber qi and sword qi clashed, like a fierce tiger facing a pack of wolves. Although the tiger was alone, the wolves couldn’t gain the upper hand in the battle.

The intensity of the scene was such that if an ordinary person were thrown into it, they would be instantly torn to pieces.

Ravines formed on the ground, with dirt flying everywhere.

Boom!

The Evil-Subduing Saber collided heavily with the opponent’s treasured sword.

Qin Yuesheng exerted force with his hands, intending to suppress his opponent with sheer strength.

Crack crack crack!

Liu Hai, trained by Liu Xian to become a master, rarely encountered a worthy foe, but now, this guy in front of him could make him feel overwhelmed just by his strength, which was unbelievably formidable.

Seeing that he was about to be overwhelmed, Liu Hai kicked towards Qin Yuesheng’s abdomen with a forceful blow imbued with inner strength. Qin Yuesheng struck out with his left arm in full force,

Crack!

In an instant, Liu Hai’s entire leg bent at a bizarre angle. Qin Yuesheng’s punch, enhanced by his Soul-Catching Arm, was terrifying beyond what Liu Hai could bear at the First Layer of the Internal Power Realm.

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Yuesheng unleashed his Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber with full force. The saber qi, several feet long, slashed down straight from the top of Liu Hai’s head.

"Not good!" Liu Hai’s expression changed as he sensed the terrifying power of Qin Yuesheng’s saber qi.

He concentrated all his inner strength from his Dantian to his head to fend off Qin Yuesheng’s onslaught.

But Liu Hai never expected that the inner strength shielding his body couldn’t withstand Qin Yuesheng’s saber at all, and it was instantly cleaved from head to tail by the saber qi.

"Big brother!!!!"

Liu Tao watched helplessly as his big brother was sliced in two by Qin Yuesheng, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins.

The two were adopted by Liu Xian, not blood-related brothers, but had a deep bond, even becoming sworn brothers in a blood oath.

Now, seeing his big brother die right before his eyes drove Liu Tao to rage, and he immediately drew his weapon and charged at Qin Yuesheng.

Liu Tao’s weapon was a bright silver refined iron spear, capable of piercing through the body of an external martial artist with a single thrust, and even posed a threat to martial artists with inner strength.

After all, inner strength is not limitless, and once the inner strength in the Dantian is depleted and has not yet recovered, even martial artists with inner strength can be injured by weapons.

A burst of white energy rose from the spearhead, forming a spear light several feet long.

"Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix!" Liu Tao roared.

His spear technique was as swift as a storm, thrusting more than ten times at Qin Yuesheng in the blink of an eye.

"Hah!" Qin Yuesheng growled, slamming a fierce palm strike.

A large golden Palm Seal shot out, colliding with Liu Tao’s spearhead.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Qin Yuesheng was pierced all over his body by the spear, and the spear light instantly broke through his body’s inner strength, leaving several bloody holes.

In the instant the golden Palm Seal came into contact with the iron spear, the entire spearhead was flattened by a single strike, bending the front end of the spear shaft.

"Tss!!!!" Liu Zhizhang’s eyes widened in disbelief.

What kind of monster was this!

The entire spear shaft bent and was rendered useless. Liu Tao immediately discarded the spear, switching to attacking Qin Yuesheng with his palms.

Wandering Dragon Bagua Palm!

Liu Tao’s body technique was agile, his palms striking Qin Yuesheng’s chest and forehead.

Qin Yuesheng felt a massive force coming at him, enough to match the strength of a horse, making him take a step back, yet managing to shake his body.

"Hmm?" Liu Tao was shocked. His Wandering Dragon Bagua Palm could easily crush an ox. Even Liu Hai had to be wary of his palms when sparring.

Yet Qin Yuesheng only took a single step back?!

What a formidable physique!

Qin Yuesheng stepped forward, raising his left hand and slamming it down. The golden Palm Seal, carrying immense power, crushed down.

Liu Tao raised his hands to block but his arms snapped immediately, followed by Qin Yuesheng’s palm landing hard on his skull.

Instantly, his head exploded, even the toughest skull couldn’t withstand Qin Yuesheng’s immense force, turning into a bloody pulp.

The whole scene went silent.

At this moment, no one dared to make a sound.

Both martial artists with inner strength were dead, who else could stop this monster?

In the eyes of these people, Qin Yuesheng, wearing a demon mask and with a left arm full of faces, seemed like a monster symbolizing danger and death.

Qin Yuesheng, having fought back-to-back battles, seemed unbothered, walking straight toward Liu Zhizhang.

Seeing Qin Yuesheng approaching, Liu Zhizhang immediately felt that the situation was dire. This one was clearly coming for him, and he turned to flee without looking back, sprinting toward the edge of the open pit mine.

"Heh." Qin Yuesheng sneered, picking up Liu Tao’s silver spear and hurling it forcefully.
