The afterglow scattered.
After practicing several sets of boxing techniques among the trees and stretching his muscles and bones, Pei Jinye pulled up the attribute panel.
——
[Vitality Value: 55-59.2]
[Physical Strength: 57-58.5]
[Spiritual Power: 51-59.2]
——
His Three Attribute Values had finally returned to above fifty.
Elder Pei Jinye breathed out a long sigh.
He clenched his fists.
“The power I’ve been missing for so long…”
He looked back at the attribute panel.
“Quake” (Breaking the limit level);
“Unbreakable Vajra” (Breaking the limit level);
“Charge Technique” (Breaking the limit level);
“Five Animal Frolics” (Breaking the limit level);
…
The densely packed skills panel now showed he had mastered nine breaking limit skills through devouring to gain proficiency.
However, high-level techniques such as the core Vitality mental method led by “Twelve Lotuses”, Four Seasons Talisman “Spring Chapter” and “Autumn Chapter”, as well as “A Sword Determines Life and Death” and “Celestial Human Sword Art” and “Azure Dragon Sword Art” were still quite strained for him.
With Pei Jinye’s current physical body, he couldn’t yet endure the terrifying attributes that came with fusing these breaking limit skills.
But for now…
He had a lot of proficiency under his command, enough for him to create combinations.
Whether it was body technique and Vitality flow or Vitality and swordsmanship flow, or even body technique and drawing the sword flow… Proficiency was directly transferrable and added.
“Proficiency, let me see where your limit lies!”
…
As evening approached,
Pei Jinye was cultivating in the Jiang’s Family Back Mountain when a phone call from home interrupted his cultivation.
“Jinye…”
Just as Pei Jinye heard Father Pei call his name, he sensed that something was wrong.
“Is there someone with you?”
“Yes,” Father Pei answered cautiously.
“Let them take the phone, don’t worry, it’s nothing,” Pei Jinye said softly.
As he spoke, he stood up and stored the Blue Potion and Blood Spirit Fruits that were in front of him into his private warehouse.
It was at that moment.
Someone took the phone.
It was a woman’s voice…
Pei Jinye was not unfamiliar with it.
He recognized the identity of the person with just one sentence.
Gongsun Xiuwen.
It was the same young girl who had been chased away by him with Gongsun Liang.
“Pei, we are here. Stop being a turtle and hiding! Don’t think we’ll be afraid of you just because you made Gu Wutong intervene. Get over here now!”
Gongsun Xiuwen was very arrogant.
Pei Jinye’s voice was calm, “If you dare to touch a single hair on them, I guarantee from today on, there will be no peace for the Gongsun Family.”
“You think…” Gongsun Xiuwen instantly became furious, but before she could finish her sentence, she heard Pei Jinye continue, “I’ll be waiting for you at Broken Cloud Mountain. Also, hand the phone back.”
“You…” Gongsun Xiuwen was very angry with Pei Jinye’s tone, as if he was ordering a maid around, but then she heard another equally calm and amiable voice: “Give it back to him.”
Upon hearing this voice, Gongsun Xiuwen immediately ran out of steam and gave the phone back to Father Pei.
“Jinye…” Seeing the four people coming fiercely, Father Pei was a little worried.
Pei Jinye’s voice had already softened, “Dad, don’t worry… Their family has lost someone, so they are a bit short-tempered. Don’t tell mom, I’ve already contacted someone from above. A little friction from before, once I’ve dealt with it, I’ll call you back.”
Father Pei was half-convinced.
Looking back, the previously blustering young girl had already left the hot pot restaurant with the other three.
He had no choice but to say, “I see they’ve gone. You… be very careful. If you can call for more leaders, do it, sometimes it’s all about who you know these days.”
Pei Jinye chuckled softly, “Don’t worry, we are stronger. I’ll have them apologize to you personally.”
“No need, no need, don’t come over again, it’s headache-inducing. Just take care of yourself,” Father Pei said.
“Alright then, I’m going to be busy.”
After hanging up the phone,
Pei Jinye sighed softly.
He had been worrying about finding the Gongsun Family’s people, not expecting them to come to him directly.
What really annoyed him was their method.
Grabbing his sword and supplies,
Pei Jinye left the Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.
Da Peng City at a little past seven o’clock in the evening was colder than usual.
The weather wasn’t great to begin with, and the fog that typically hung around the outskirts enveloped most of the city today.
Pei Jinye sat in the car, his gaze fixed on the skyscrapers moving away outside the window.
The driver was talking about something, but he didn’t respond at all.
After a while, the driver seemed to realize something and didn’t dare to make idle talk anymore.
Twenty minutes later,
At the foot of Broken Cloud Mountain,
After receiving the money, the driver didn’t look back and quickly drove away.
The eerily quiet Broken Cloud Mountain was almost completely enveloped in fog, with only a few street lights illuminating the road at the mountain’s base and darkness covering the mountain itself.
Pei Jinye stood at the foot of the mountain, walked some distance, and seemed to notice something. He stopped beside a bamboo grove and looked up.
In the vast mist, nothing was visible at all.
Suddenly, the fog dispersed.
As if it was cut away by Gang Qi.
The figures of four people appeared across from him.
Gongsun Xiuwen and Gongsun Liang stood beside a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, followed by an old man with a slightly hunched figure.
The moment Gongsun Xiuwen saw Pei Jinye, she immediately turned her head to the handsome young man beside her and complained, “Qian Feng, it’s him! You must teach him a harsh lesson, let him know the consequences of offending our Gongsun family.”
However, Gongsun Liang also whispered at this time, “Brother Qian Feng, be careful, that guy’s strength is great… I wasn’t even able to force him to use his sword last time.”
The handsome young man slowly lifted his head. Gongsun Qianfeng, standing twenty meters away, observed Pei Jinye and chuckled softly, “I didn’t know Da Peng City had a swordsman like you… I won’t say anything else, it’s a fact that you beat up my siblings, and after all, you have stepped on the face of our Gongsun family.
So… either come over here and kneel to admit your wrong, or I will take action myself, but then it won’t be as simple as just admitting a mistake.”
“You are Gongsun Qianfeng?” Pei Jinye confirmed.
He didn’t want to kill for so long only to waste time by killing the wrong person.
“Oh?” Gongsun Qianfeng’s smile was somewhat mocking, his eyes sparkling mysteriously: “You’ve heard of me? Then that makes things easier to deal with. Since you know me, then you must also know… how many so-called prodigies I’ve killed.”
Pei Jinye narrowed his gaze.
“So you are Gongsun Qianfeng, it seems I’ve found the right person!”
The moment the words fell.
Almost instantly.
With a “bang,” a wave of air exploded between the two, causing the nearby woods to shake rustlingly.
The expressions on Gongsun Xiuwen and Gongsun Liang’s faces both changed.
Are they starting the fight just like that?
The two hurriedly retreated.
“You are very brave.”
The smile on Gongsun Qianfeng’s face was somewhat gruesome.
He took a step forward.
The ground trembled fiercely, and in an instant, it seemed as though a myriad of frost spread out from the point where his foot landed.
With a “crack,” the sound of ice breaking resounded as Gongsun Qianfeng’s figure vanished on the spot like a ghost!
In the midst of a strong whistling sound.
Gongsun Qianfeng’s fist clenched, the ice-cold flow on his arms coiling like enraged pythons, stirring up a violent gust of wind.
Almost instantly, he traversed the distance and lunged toward Pei Jinye’s head, seemingly trying to press his head down for an apology!
With that press, the explosion of air was like thunder rolling.
Meanwhile, the onrushing Pei Jinye did not exhibit any hint of cowardice.
Because although Gongsun Qianfeng was fast, he was faster!
In the face of Gongsun Qianfeng’s frost strike, Pei Jinye’s seemingly harmless appearance instantly transformed.
With a “clang,”
a high-pitched sword rang out.
At the same time, terrifying vitality, like a muffled thunder, rolled out from his chest.
His sword intent was incredibly sharp.
As quick as lightning.
He slashed horizontally.
Feeling the change in Pei Jinye, Gongsun Qianfeng’s pupils suddenly emitted a deep blue glow; frost flowers blossomed on the ground where he stood, with countless frost flowers spreading out.
The harsh sound of ice scraping mingled with the gust of fist winds.
Suddenly, his fingers stretched long, with a rapid cold flow shooting through the gaps, intensely cold to the extreme.
“This is… secret martial arts! Indestructible Cold Dragon Fist!!!” Gongsun Liang, who was a hundred meters behind, cried out loud upon seeing this scene.
“Has Brother Qian Feng now even mastered this secret martial arts technique of our family?”
“Young Master Qian Feng’s martial arts aptitude is among the top three I’ve ever seen in my life; he’s sure to reach the pinnacle of the Federation,” the hunched old man said with a smile on his face.
Before he could finish speaking, the ground suddenly sank, and the mountain forest shook. A thundering wind and sword qi swept away everything in front of it, ruthlessly breaking the frost.
The three of them looked up in astonishment.
In mid-air, the two figures collided, creating a huge commotion!
One was as formidable as a dragon, and the other as fierce as a tiger.
They clashed instantly, unleashing an extraordinary impact right there and then.
Under the stirring of rolling air currents.
The surrounding woods were as if razed by countless cutters; amidst the splattering of rocks, numerous broken bamboos and trees were shattered and scattered everywhere.
A piercing screech suddenly surged, drowning out all other sounds in the vicinity.
Gongsun Xiuwen and the other two who were following closely, not daring to linger in such a momentum, retreated explosively once more.
And at the center of the clash.
Whether it was the extreme cold power or the merciless sword intent, within just two or three breaths, they had created a crater over ten meters long and wide on the small path amidst the forest.
“Bang!”
“Clang!”
Two figures flew backward.
Gongsun Qianfeng’s figure floated gently and landed on the edge of the crater, slowly raising his hand.
In the distance, Gongsun Liang had a look of shock: “Brother Qian Feng is actually injured!!!”
“Shut up!” Gongsun Xiuwen frowned and reprimanded, her eyes tightly fixed on Gongsun Qianfeng.
She couldn’t understand how Qian Feng, who had always been so dazzling and leading the younger generation of the Gongsun family, could be injured!!!
…
“Your swordsmanship is quite interesting…” Gongsun Qianfeng gently shook his hand, the bloodstains on his arm already frozen by the ice.
But before he could finish his bragging, Pei Jinye interrupted him.
“You talk too much.”
Pei Jinye bravely advanced with his sword.
The opponent was a truly Extraordinary Third Rank, and also an elite scion of a big family.
Such a young master did indeed deserve his full effort.
Moreover…
Today’s battle was meant to decide life and death.
“Zheng!”
As Pei Jinye lunged forward with his sword, a dragon and tiger-like sword cry streaked past, and the sword light of a pale azure rainbow flashed blindingly amidst the misty night air.
…
From a distance.
The hunched old man suddenly had a flash of brilliance in his eyes, his face drastically changing as he thought to himself that something was wrong.
“Jiao Dragon Out of the Abyss! Tiger Roars in the Deep Mountains! This sword intent… damn it, who exactly is this young man!”
