35: Chapter 034 Xiao Ye Returns

35 -034 Xiao Ye Returns

Ah!

Gu Chuqiu screamed miserably as his body flew horizontally and heavily smashed onto the ground.

Xiao Ye’s True Qi rampaged in his abdomen, causing Gu Chuqiu’s True Qi to dissipate and his cultivation to continuously plummet.

“You…

you actually destroyed my cultivation!” Gu Chuqiu’s face turned deathly pale, his body trembling, with fresh blood continuously spilling from the corners of his mouth, “You are too cruel!”

The essence of a Postnatal Realm Martial Artist, besides the meridians, lies in the Dantian in the abdomen.

It can be said that the reason a Postnatal Realm Martial Artist can enhance their True Qi through cultivating techniques is because of the Dantian, which is the source of Qi and essence.

If the meridians are shattered, they can still be restored with Elixirs, but once the Dantian is destroyed, it cuts off the foundation, making further cultivation impossible.

In a place like the True Spirit Continent, being stripped of one’s cultivation is even more agonizing than death.

Moreover, even if Xiao Ye killed Gu Chuqiu, the Ancient Family would be able to trace it back to him since Gu Chuqiu came after him solely for him—if Gu Chuqiu died, who else would they suspect but him?

Hence, it’s better to let the other party experience what it’s like to live a fate worse than death.

Xiao Ye never shows mercy to enemies who have bullied him.

Let the Ancient Family seek revenge if they want; after all, he has never disclosed his origins, and even with the great power of the Ancient Family, they won’t be able to trace things back to Xiao Family Village, especially since there are nearly a hundred towns around Wutan City.

“Cruel?” Xiao Ye gave a cold laugh, looking down at Gu Chuqiu, “When you planned to destroy my cultivation, did you not think yourself cruel?”

Gu Chuqiu was left breathless by the question, unable to retort.

Indeed, he had set out with the intention of destroying Xiao Ye’s cultivation.

He just never anticipated that his opponent would be so powerful, particularly that stunning strike…

If Xiao Ye had used that strike from the beginning, he would have been instantly killed.

Thinking this, Gu Chuqiu felt a chill in his heart.

This youth clearly had the strength to defeat him instantly yet held back, displaying an attitude of toying with him.

Xiao Ye looked down at Gu Chuqiu, a thought striking him: “You’re the Family Head of the Ancient Family, you must have quite a few treasures on you.”

Hearing this, Gu Chuqiu’s face drastically changed, and he instinctively protected his robe.

“Haha, seems like I guessed right!” Seeing this, Xiao Ye laughed loudly and reached out his hand.

Gu Chuqiu, having lost his cultivation, had almost no strength to resist in front of Xiao Ye, and could only watch helplessly as the latter took out the contents from his chest.

“Two bottles of Elixirs and a secret manual for the Mountain Opening Fist.” Xiao Ye looked at the booklet in his hand, excitement arising in him.

The highest level combat technique in Green Sun Town is a First-Grade Battle Technique.

Although he had developed the Great Collapse Palm to a level comparable to a Second Grade Combat Skill, it wasn’t a genuine Second Grade Combat Skill after all.

The trip to Wutan City made him realize the insufficiency of his combat technique level; otherwise, with his robust True Qi, he wouldn’t need to utilize Martial Arts True Intent to defeat Gu Chuqiu.

Going like this to participate in the Chongyang Sect entry assessment and compete with geniuses from various cities would undoubtedly be disadvantageous. freёnovelkiss.com

As for Martial Arts True Intent, Xiao Ye planned to keep it as his trump card, revealing it only when absolutely necessary.

“Haha, Family Head Gu is really polite, personally bringing me Elixirs and combat techniques; I can’t decline such courtesy,” Xiao Ye said mockingly, smiling as he stored the Elixirs and combat techniques in his chest.

Pfft!

Gu Chuqiu, already trembling with rage, upon hearing these scornful words, rolled his eyes back, spitting blood in fury.

He was indeed eagerly bringing Elixirs and combat techniques to Xiao Ye!

Glancing at Gu Chuqiu, Xiao Ye turned and strode away.

As the Family Head of the Ancient Family, now that Gu Chuqiu’s cultivation was destroyed, his ensuing fate would be very pitiful.

After heading toward the direction of Green Sun Town for about ten miles, Xiao Ye’s figure flashed, and he entered a secluded dense forest by the roadside.

“Let’s see what these two bottles of Elixirs are.” Xiao Ye took out the two porcelain vases from his chest.

Jade Spirit Pill!

Postnatal Pill!

The labels on the two porcelain vases caught Xiao Ye’s eyes.

“I wonder if they can help my cultivation.” Xiao Ye pulled out the wooden stoppers of the porcelain vases, brought them close to his nose, and immediately two distinctly different scents of medicine assailed his nostrils.

“Given that Gu Chuqiu carried these with him, these two types of Elixirs must be extraordinary.” Xiao Ye pondered for a moment, took out the Black Dragon Country Chronicle, and began to flip through it.

This Black Dragon Country Chronicle, containing the lifetime experiences of that fallen Innate Strong Person, recorded many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Elixirs, and for Xiao Ye, its value far surpassed that of a Second Grade Combat Skill.

Soon, he found descriptions of the two Elixirs.

Jade Spirit Pill, for Martial Artists above the Eighth Layer of the Postnatal Realm, provides a side-effect-free boost in cultivation but can only be consumed once in a lifetime as additional consumption will render it ineffective.

The Postnatal Pill can help Body Refining Stage Martial Artists to directly advance to the Postnatal Realm.

“Such effects…” Reading the introduction in the Black Dragon Country Chronicle, Xiao Ye’s eyes lit up, and he immediately became excited.

The Jade Spirit Pill was like timely aid in the snow for him.

Upon his return, he would directly face the entire Blood Wolf Gang.

With his current cultivation combined with the comprehended Martial Arts True Intent, he could be comparable to a Late Ninth Layer Postnatal Realm Martial Artist, but to kill a Half-step Innate Blood Wolf, he still lacked a bit, due to the significant gap in their cultivation levels.

A Jade Spirit Pill might just bridge that gap.

The effect of the Postnatal Pill, however, was even more miraculous.

A single Postnatal Pill could create a Postnatal Martial Artist.

The villagers of Green Sun Town suffered under the tyranny of the Blood Wolf Gang not only because of Blood Wolf’s formidable cultivation but because he commanded a hundred Postnatal Realm Martial Artists forming the Blood Wolf Guards.

If Xiao Family Village also had an elite squad composed entirely of Postnatal Realm Martial Artists who cultivated Second Grade Combat Skills, who would dare to bully them?

At this thought, Xiao Ye’s heart surged with wild joy.

He was one step closer to his goal of turning Xiao Family Village into a Martial Arts family.

“This precious Elixir must have been given to him by Gu Chuqiu’s fraternal brother,” Xiao Ye muttered to himself.

In fact, he wasn’t wrong.

These two types of Elixirs had been sent back by Gu Chudong, who held a high position in Chongyang Sect, not long ago.

Gu Chuqiu hadn’t even warmed them up before Xiao Ye snatched them away, gaining a benefit meant for someone else.

“Three Jade Spirit Pills, thirty Postnatal Pills.” Xiao Ye counted the number of Elixirs and then swallowed a Jade Spirit Pill, sitting down cross-legged right there.

Boom!

As soon as the Elixir entered his mouth, it transformed into pure medicinal strength that surged through Xiao Ye’s body, turning his skin red as if it were a hot iron.

“Ha!”

Xiao Ye clenched his teeth and let the powerful medicinal strength wash over his body, while forming seal techniques with his hands and circulating the Heavenly Net Technique to refine and absorb the potent force.

Two hours later, Xiao Ye stood up, his eyes shining brightly and his presence imposing.

“I’ve reached the Early Stage of Ninth Layer of the Postnatal Realm!” Xiao Ye randomly threw a punch, and it made a sound as it moved through the air.

Feeling the surging True Qi inside him, Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled with confidence; his strength had increased at least threefold compared to before his breakthrough.

If he were to confront Gu Chuqiu again, one punch would be enough to kill him.

“Only three village chiefs in the town can spar with me now,” Xiao Ye exclaimed with excitement.

The three village chiefs had once been like three great mountains before him.

Through his efforts and opportunities, he had now surpassed these great mountains.

“Zhao Qian, once I’ve killed the Blood Wolf, I’ll come to Chongyang Sect to find you!” Xiao Ye resolutely muttered to himself.

Xiao Ye put away the Elixirs and took out the Mountain Opening Fist to study it, aiming to enhance his strength as much as possible before returning to town.

After memorizing the content of Mountain Opening Fist, he found a secluded place and immersed himself in the Time Tower.

“Mountain Opening Fist, mobilize all the True Qi in the body, deliver the most powerful strike, like a volcanic eruption, bearing the power to split mountains,” Xiao Ye visualized the content of Mountain Opening Fist and began to practice.

Meanwhile, at the gates of Wutan City.

“I’m finally back!”

Gu Chuqiu, covered in blood, appeared here.

He gazed at the familiar city gate, his face filled with excitement.

Although it was only a ten-mile journey from Wutan City, the walk was extremely difficult because his cultivation had been stripped away.

“Go away, where did this beggar come from, don’t block my way!” A burly man pushed Gu Chuqiu away, clearly impatient.

Gu Chuqiu fell over with a push.

“I am the Family Head of the Ancient Family!” Gu Chuqiu fell to the ground, his body trembling with anger.

As the prestigious Family Head of the Ancient Family, he had never been treated this way before.

“Haha, you are the Gu Family Patriarch?

Then I’m the King of Black Dragon Country,” the burly man said mockingly.

“Death, I must kill that young man!” Amid the laughter of the crowd, Gu Chuqiu got up and staggered towards the Ancient Family.

If not for Xiao Ye, how could he have fallen to this state?

…

It must be said that the difficulty of the Second Grade Combat Skill, Mountain Opening Fist, was much greater than that of the Great Collapse Palm.

After practicing for ten days on the First Level of the Time Tower, Xiao Ye gradually started to get the feel of it.

Two months later, Xiao Ye had almost cultivated it to the Perfection Level and then stopped.

“Mountain Opening Fist!”

In the dense forest, Xiao Ye shouted, his True Qi vigorously surging within him, and his punches soared to the sky like cannonballs, striking a man-height small mound.

The moment his fists contacted the small mound, Xiao Ye’s fists trembled, and the force surging from his fists erupted like a volcano, filled with sharpness and a sense of destruction.

Boom, boom, boom!

The small mound, struck by this blow, spread thick cracks like an arm’s width, and eventually completely burst open, sending debris flying and dust filling the sky.

As the dust settled, the man-height small mound was gone, replaced by a deep crater on the ground.

“What powerful force, truly worthy of being a Second Grade Combat Skill,” Xiao Ye nodded in satisfaction, a smile on his face.

Xiao Ye brushed off his hands, stepped out of the dense forest, and looked towards Green Sun Town: “It’s time to go back.”

After two months and ten days of cultivation in the Time Tower, seven days had passed in the outside world; he was eager to return.

One day later, Xiao Ye stood on a hillside, looking down at the area below.

Looking at the familiar village and land shot his breathing with excitement.

This place was where he was born and nurtured; it was his root, it had his parents.

“I’m back!” Xiao Ye roared and strode towards Green Sun Town.
