Young Master System: My Mother Is the Matriarch-Chapter 49 - : The Standoff (Part 4)

Li Wei stood surrounded, a lone storm amidst a sea of enemies. His fists and feet moved with lethal precision, each strike sending bodies flying. Unlike ordinary cultivators, he wielded both Earth and Heaven Grade Techniques with terrifying ease. None could withstand him—every foe that lunged met only death.

[Yang Yaksha Ten Forms - Baleful Fists]

A single motion. Four Foundation Establishment cultivators crumpled as Li Wei's fists caved in their chests. "UWAHA—!" Blood gushed from their mouths, ribs shattered, their bodies collapsing like broken dolls.

[Mad Mantis Eight Claws - Rip Tide]

Two Core Refinement warriors lunged—only to meet a flurry of claw strikes. "AHHH—!"Their faces split open, scalps flayed. Hands clutched at ruined flesh before they dropped, unconscious from the pain.

"How is this possible?!" A Zhen Clan commander watched in horror as seasoned fighters fell like wheat before a scythe. "This ends now!" He struck from behind his men, fist aimed at Li Wei's ribs.

[Triple Metal Fist Forms - Iron Fist]

In a single motion, The commander struck the wrist of the tactless Li Wei , who had disregarded the viciousness of his opponent's strikes that were aiming for his abdomens and chests. "Uwah!!" None of the bystanders were able to hold back their screams as a torrent of blood filled the air.

"U-uh my body!! W-what d-iiid youu do..." the large amounts of blood escaping from their mouth greatly affected the commander's ability to communicate as the impact from clashing with Li Wei's body had fractured several cartilages and ribs, which marked his fateful departure from the world of the living. The sound of bones shattering echoed like fireworks, leaving his body to crumple to the ground in grotesque heaps.

[Mad Mantis Eight Claws - Rip Tide]

Suddenly, Li Wei caught another two Core Refinement realm souls, unleashing a torrent of claw strikes that sliced the skin of their faces and scalps. "AHHHH!!" Mournful cries soon followed as the pair of cultivators covered their faces in horror. The severe pain caused them to faint, their once formidable auras now reduced to whimpering shadows of their former selves. Blood sprayed like a macabre fountain, painting the ground with their life essence.

Leng Yue moved like a shadow, her blade a whisper of death.

"Stop that girl!" A trio of body refinement warriors burst through the alleyway after receiving some benefits from both the Shen and Zhou clans, who had provided a suitable backer for them to obtain cultivation resources.

Body Refinement is a rigorous and demanding path in the cultivation world that focuses on enhancing the physical attributes of the body to achieve extraordinary levels of strength, endurance, and resilience. Unlike other forms of cultivation that might emphasize spiritual energy or mystical arts, Body Refinement cultivators undergo intense physical training and employ specialized techniques to transform their bodies into powerful vessels.

The path of Body Refinement cultivation, while offering unparalleled physical prowess, is fraught with immense challenges and requires an extraordinary amount of resources and rare herbs.

The cultivator must gather and consume specific ingredients that provide the necessary nutrients and energy to facilitate the transformation of their body. These resources are not only scarce but also extremely expensive, which was why these three were willing to act against Li Wei and Leng Yue.

"Stop that girl!" Three Silver Core Body Refinement warriors charged, muscles bulging, faces twisted with greed. They'd been promised riches for this kill.

Fools.

"Mere second-rate brutes." Leng Yue's sword flickered—once. Three heads hit the ground before their bodies even realized they were dead.

[Witch Blade Nine Swords - Ghost Blossom Dance] 

She became a blur, limbs and heads parting from bodies in her wake. One man turned to flee—her blade found his spine. A sickening **crunch**, then silence as his head rolled away.

Leng Yue's form seemed to blur as she danced through her enemies, her sword singing a deadly lullaby. Each strike was precise, each movement deadly. She severed limbs and heads with the grace of a ballerina, her opponents' screams lost in the chaos of battle. One unfortunate soul tried to flee, but Leng Yue's blade found his spine, severing it with a sickening crunch. He collapsed, paralyzed and screaming, before she mercifully ended his suffering with a swift decapitation.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself." Li Wei's eyes flickered with amusement as he watched Leng Yue's deadly performance. He shifted his stance, as over twenty core formation artists tried to pounce on him.

[Golden Lotus Eight Strikes - Heavenly Dragon's Roar]

Li Wei's fist crashed into the ground, sending a shockwaves that tore through the ranks of his enemies. The sheer force of the technique sent bodies flying, their bones breaking upon impact. The air was filled with the sound of agony, and blood rained down like a storm. Those who were unfortunate enough to be near the epicenter were obliterated, their bodies reduced to unrecognizable pulp.

[Sage Palm Seven Peaks - Earth Shattering Palm]

"Enough games." Li Wei turned to face a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, his palm glowing with an otherworldly light. He struck out, his palm connecting with the nearest foe's chest. The cultivator's eyes widened in horror as his chest caved in, organs liquefying from the force. He fell, lifeless, as Li Wei moved on to the next target, his palm strikes continuously creating shockwaves that pulverized his enemies.

"Your form has improved, Young master." Leng Yue smirked slightly, not to be outdone, unleashed her own devastating technique. A set of moves that her teacher had stricly prohibited her from using in the higher plane, in fear that she may attract an unpopular reputation due to the merciless nature of the art.

**[Moon Sword Thirty-Six Faces - Moonlit Assassination]**

She vanished. Reappeared behind a Nascent Soul elder. Her blade slipped between his ribs, piercing his heart before he could blink.

---

The battlefield was a slaughterhouse. Blood painted the earth. Screams choked the air.

"Hurry! They're here!" Survivors whistled frantically. From alleys and rooftops, a hundred Nascent Soul warriors descended, surrounding them.

Li Wei cracked his knuckles. "More fodder."

Leng Yue adjusted her grip, blade gleaming.

[Savage Beast Kicks Eight Forms - Heavenly Lion's Descent]

Li Wei's kick shattered a skull, brain matter spraying.

[Blood Light Sword Eleven Rotations - Crimson Viper Claw]

Leng Yue carved through steel and flesh alike, bisecting a man mid-swing.

[Furious Earth Eight Summons - Dragon's Wrath]

"Death has arrived." Li Wei slammed his fists into the ground, summoning a massive earthen dragon that tore through the ranks of his foes. The dragon's maw snapped shut around several warriors, crushing them in its powerful jaws. Blood and viscera sprayed as the dragon thrashed, flinging broken bodies aside like rag dolls.

[Oblivion Eye Five Kills - Silent Night ]

Leng Yue vanished again, reappearing among a group of enemies with her blade already in motion. She moved with silent efficiency, her strikes lethal and unerring. One warrior felt a sudden coldness as her sword slid through his heart, another lost his arm before her blade found his throat. "I don't accept this!!" Her victims barely having time to register their deaths, could only shout out before dropping dead in a pool of their own blood.

[Ghost Moon Six Stabs - Beggar's Alms]

Leng Yue impaled three at once, twisting her blade free in a gory spray.

[Draconic Flame Touch Twelve Palms]

Fire engulfed a warrior, flesh melting to ash.

[Black Blossom Three Paths - Petal of Death]

Leng Yue's sword summoned a storm of black petals, shredding flesh like paper.

"You must die, wench!" A cultivator roared—until her blade took his head.
