Imparting the Dao and Teaching Skills (Part One)

Imparting the Dao and Teaching Skills (Part One)

"Get over here!" Li Qiye's gaze turned cold as he said icily, "Since you dared challenge my authority, then taste the might of my authority!"

"What are you afraid of? He's only one man, while there are so many of us! Charge!" One disciple plucked up his courage, shouted loudly, drew his treasure weapon, and rushed forward.

"Let's go together!" With someone taking the lead, the dozens of others also found their courage. They shouted, drew their weapons, and charged forward.

Bang—bang—bang— Yet no matter how many there were, it was useless. Before the Snake-Beating Cudgel, cultivators below the Heavenly Origin Realm had no choice but to be beaten. These dozens of disciples were like little snakes meeting their natural nemesis. The moment they struck, the Snake-Beating Cudgel lashed them across the face. One blow left their faces covered in blood and sent them sprawling to the ground.

Bang—bang—bang— Li Qiye showed no mercy to this group of disciples who had taken the lead in rebelling. He whipped them viciously, even lashing those already lying on the ground without restraint.

Li Qiye was merciless. He beat the disciples until they howled like ghosts and wailed like wolves, until their bodies were covered in blood. They lay on the ground, unable to get back up for quite some time.

Li Qiye's ruthlessness made the other watching disciples shudder, their faces turning pale.

"You lot, get over here too!" Li Qiye pointed his cudgel at the other disciples present and spoke blandly.

"S-senior brother, w-we didn't rebel," the big-eyed female disciple said timidly.

"I know." Li Qiye said calmly, "My first lesson is very simple: to let you know that anyone may challenge me, but you can also see with your own eyes what happens to those who do."

Bang—bang—bang— Regardless of whether these disciples fought back, Li Qiye charged straight at them and knocked them down with a single blow each!

In truth, Li Qiye had already reached the Body Tempering Realm. Some of these disciples had lower cultivation than he did, so even without the Snake-Beating Cudgel, he could have handled them. Thus, when Li Qiye charged in, he was like a fierce tiger entering a flock of sheep, knocking down more than half of them in the blink of an eye.

"Run!" Someone had their courage scared out of them and turned to flee.

But the moment they fled, Nan Huairen threw them back. They simply could not escape. Seeing that escape was impossible, some turned around to resist, only to be struck head-on by the cudgel and knocked flat on the ground.

Bang—bang—bang— Li Qiye was somewhat gentler with this group of disciples who had not rebelled. He merely knocked them to the ground instead of beating them bloody all over like Luo Fenghua and the others.

In the end, not one of the three hundred disciples was spared. Every last one was knocked to the ground. All of them were deathly pale. The Snake-Beating Cudgel was practically their natural nemesis. Even when it left no wound, a blow from it hurt deep into their marrow.

The Snake-Beating Cudgel was the finest treasure for disciplining disobedient disciples, a rarity under heaven. Otherwise, Li Qiye would not have used it to discipline that brat Mingren and his bunch!

For a time, cries of pain rose and fell across the training ground. Every disciple had been knocked to the ground with a single strike. Those who stubbornly resisted received a savage beating from Li Qiye. Luo Fenghua and his several dozen companions in particular were beaten viciously even after they had fallen, until their skin split and flesh tore!

After thoroughly teaching the disciples before him a lesson, Li Qiye slowly returned to his high seat. Looking at the disciples sprawled across the ground, he said leisurely, "You are most welcome to challenge me. But as for the consequences, you can consider them yourselves. Today's first lesson was merely an appetizer! In the future, I won't be so gentle. Unless I kick your bones apart, I won't stop!"

Looking at the disciples lying all over the ground, Li Qiye said blandly, "Since I am your teacher, I will see my responsibility through to the end. If there are hard bones who refuse to submit, no matter—I'll whip them until they do! Otherwise, obediently fulfill your role as disciples! When you learn from me, no matter what kind of genius you are, smash that pretentiousness of yours! Before my eyes, geniuses are worth no more than dog shit! If you are a dragon, coil up for me; if you are a tiger, lie down for me. Otherwise, I'll smash your pride and arrogance to pieces!"

At this moment, the disciples lay scattered across the ground, unable even to crawl up. How could they dare talk back?

"Today's first lesson ends here." Li Qiye smiled, then added as he left, "Of course, if you are dissatisfied with me, you may file a complaint. But remember this: anyone who complains about me will receive my special hospitality!"

Sure enough, Hall Master Zhou came looking for him that very afternoon. The moment they met, Hall Master Zhou coldly said, "When teaching disciples, imparting the Dao should be the foremost priority. The disciples of Wash Stone Peak will be pillars of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect in the future. Should anything happen to them..."

"If Hall Master Zhou is dissatisfied with me, go complain to the Elder." Li Qiye interrupted him, speaking with complete ease. "Since I am responsible for imparting the Dao, how I teach is my business. I do not need others pointing fingers and gesturing at me. If Hall Master Zhou has nothing else, forgive me for not seeing you out."

"You—" Hall Master Zhou trembled with rage after being rebuffed by Li Qiye. Li Qiye did not even put him in his eyes.

"Hall Master Zhou, please leave." Li Qiye could not even be bothered to give him another glance. He was too lazy to waste words on someone of this level.

Hall Master Zhou nearly coughed up blood from fury. His rage soared to the heavens as he ground his teeth to pieces. Finally, he laughed in extreme anger and said coldly, "Fine, fine, fine! When the time comes for assessment, we shall see how the disciples you taught pass!" With that, he turned and left.

The moment Hall Master Zhou departed, Li Shuangyan emerged from who knew where. She looked coldly at Li Qiye and said indifferently, "You make enemies everywhere. Aren't you afraid someone will cut you down?"

"Cultivation does not represent everything." Li Qiye gave her a calm glance and said, "Killing someone is not difficult. It only depends on how you kill them and whether they are worth acting against."

"Speaking of killing!" Li Qiye could not help smiling. "Within the Washing Yan Ancient Sect, what does it matter even if there are thousands upon thousands of troops? However many come, that many can be killed!"

Li Shuangyan looked at Li Qiye and said coldly, "So you are quite confident, then."

"But do not forget that you are my sword attendant. Protecting your master is your duty." Li Qiye could not even be bothered to discuss such matters and merely reminded her.

"You—" Li Shuangyan's lovely face flushed red with anger at his attitude. She had cultivated for so long, and her Dao Heart could be said to be extremely steady. Yet ever since meeting Li Qiye, he had angered her into coughing blood several times.

Li Shuangyan was, after all, a proud daughter of heaven. She drew a deep breath and finally calmed herself. Looking at Li Qiye, she ultimately said in a cold voice, "It is not impossible for you to take me in, but at the very least, you must give me a reason to submit to you."

"An Azure Clear Physique, one of the Twenty-Four Emperor Physiques—a fine physique." Li Qiye looked at her and said leisurely, "Stay by my side properly. In the future, I will give you a pointer or two. So long as you work hard, with my guidance, cultivating an Immaculate Physique will not be a problem!"

"What arrogant words—an Immaculate Physique!" Li Shuangyan could not help glaring at Li Qiye. She said coldly, "Do you know what an Immaculate Physique means? It is one of the Twelve Immortal Physiques! Since the dawn of ages, only a handful have cultivated an Immortal Physique! The Sage Physique Art I cultivate now can already be called one of the most supreme physique arts!"

Li Shuangyan possessed an Innate Emperor Physique, something already sufficient to make anyone proud. Her Azure Clear Emperor Physique was exceedingly rare, one of the Twenty-Four Emperor Physiques. Moreover, the physique art she cultivated was already among the foremost in the world. Yet even for her, cultivating her Azure Clear Physique into a Jade Clear Physique would require long years!

The Jade Clear Physique was one of the Eighteen Sage Physiques. Once this Sage Physique was achieved, its power would be boundless and not to be underestimated!

Buzz— Without another word, Li Qiye's life wheel suddenly emerged. Divine radiance revolved behind his head, his blood energy surged wildly, and in an instant, like a giant kun leaping from the sea, his life palace rose and fell. At that moment, Li Qiye viciously kicked toward Li Shuangyan.

Li Shuangyan's expression changed. Her delicate hand swept through the air as she held up a silver shield, blocking Li Qiye's kick.

Bang! That kick carried the weight of ten thousand mountains, indescribably heavy. Even for Li Shuangyan, it was not easy to receive. With a crack, the silver shield in her hand shattered. Though she had blocked the kick, she still retreated one step, crushing the stone tiles beneath her feet!

Li Shuangyan's expression changed drastically. Li Qiye's kick did not contain the might of Dao arts or immense power—it was weight, pure weight.

It was as though one of Li Qiye's legs weighed ten thousand mountains. With one kick, it could crush mountains and rivers! This was impossible. Li Qiye's cultivation was still shallow; it was impossible for his leg to be so heavy!

"Proud daughter of heaven—you truly deserve those words. To withstand the full weight of that kick, your cultivation is indeed remarkable." Li Qiye gave her a calm glance and said, "The Jade Clear Sage Heart Art you cultivate was obtained from the Martial God Hall, wasn't it? Not a bad physique art." With that, he turned and left.

Li Shuangyan was speechless for a long while. She was immensely shaken. Since coming to know Li Qiye, he had merely seemed mysterious to her, impossible to see through. But today, the weight of his kick had truly shocked her!

She believed that Li Qiye's cultivation absolutely had not surpassed the Body Tempering Realm, yet the weight of his leg had shaken her. She could tell that it was neither the power of the grand Dao nor sheer strength, but weight.

A person's leg could never be so heavy—at least, a Mortal Physique could not! Why was Li Qiye's leg so heavy? At this thought, Li Shuangyan was shaken to the core!

There were several physiques that were incomparably heavy by nature, such as the Mighty Mountain Physique among Innate Physiques, the Demon Suppressing Physique among Emperor Physiques, and even the Hell Suppressing Physique among Sage Physiques.

Yet it was clear that Li Qiye was not an Innate Physique, nor an Emperor Physique, much less a Sage Physique! If he had been born with an Emperor Physique or Sage Physique, there was no way it could escape others' eyes.
