Chapter 47: Preaching and Teaching (Part 1)
"Get over here!" Li Qiye's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently, "Since you've challenged my authority, you can taste the might of my authority!"
"What are you afraid of? He's all alone, and there are so many of us. Go for it!" A disciple, emboldened, shouted loudly, drew his treasure weapon, and charged forward.
"Let's go together!" Someone took the lead, and these dozens of people also grew brave, shouting as they drew their weapons and charged forward.
"Bang—Bang—Bang—" However, no matter how many there were, it was no use. Before the Snake-Beating Cudgel, cultivators below the Heavenly Origin Realm were simply asking to be beaten. These dozens of disciples were like little snakes encountering their nemesis. The moment they attacked, they were struck in the face by the Snake-Beating Cudgel, knocked to the ground with blood all over their faces.
"Bang—Bang—Bang—" Li Qiye showed no mercy to this group of disciples who had rebelled first, beating them severely, even while they were lying on the ground.
Li Qiye's ferocity made these disciples wail and cry, their bodies covered in blood. Lying on the ground, they couldn't get up for a while.
Li Qiye's ruthlessness caused the other disciples watching to tremble involuntarily, their faces turning pale.
"All of you, get over here!" Li Qiye pointed his cudgel at the other disciples present and said indifferently.
"Senior Brother, I, I, we didn't rebel," the female disciple with big eyes said timidly.
"I know," Li Qiye said indifferently. "My first lesson is very simple: to let you know that anyone can provoke me, but you can also witness the consequences of provoking me."
"Bang—Bang—Bang—" Regardless of whether these disciples attacked or not, Li Qiye rushed forward and knocked them down with a single blow!
In fact, Li Qiye was already in the Body Tempering Realm. Some disciples had weaker cultivation than him. Even without the Snake-Beating Cudgel, he could handle them. Thus, Li Qiye charged forward like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, knocking down more than half of them in the blink of an eye.
"Run—" Someone, scared out of their wits, turned and fled.
But as soon as they fled, they were thrown back by Nan Huairen. They couldn't escape at all. Seeing that escape was impossible, some turned and fought back, but a cudgel strike came towards them, and they were immediately knocked to the ground.
"Bang—Bang—Bang—" Li Qiye was a little gentler with this group of disciples who hadn't rebelled, only knocking them to the ground. Unlike Luo Fenghua and the others, they weren't beaten until their bodies were covered in blood.
In the end, out of the three hundred disciples, not a single one was spared. All of them were knocked to the ground, their faces pale. The Snake-Beating Cudgel was simply their bane. A single strike on their bodies, even without wounds, felt like it pierced their bones.
The Snake-Beating Cudgel was the best treasure for teaching disobedient disciples, rare in the world. Otherwise, Li Qiye wouldn't have used it to teach that brat Ming Ren and his gang!
For a time, the entire training ground was filled with sounds of pain and agony. All the disciples were knocked to the ground by a single blow. The resisting disciples were severely beaten by Li Qiye. Especially Luo Fenghua and dozens of others, after being knocked down, Li Qiye continued to beat them fiercely, tearing their skin and flesh!
After thoroughly teaching the disciples before him a lesson, Li Qiye slowly sat back in his high seat. Looking at the disciples lying all over the ground, he said with composure, "I welcome provocation, but as for the consequences, you can consider them yourselves. Today's first lesson is just an appetizer! In the future, I won't be so lenient. If I don't break your bones, I won't stop!"
Looking at the disciples lying on the ground, Li Qiye said indifferently, "Since I am your elder, I will be responsible until the end. If you have tough bones and refuse to yield, that's fine, I will beat you until you submit! Otherwise, just be good disciples! In front of me, no matter what kind of genius you are, if you learn something, I will shatter that pretentiousness! In my eyes, geniuses are as worthless as dog shit! If you are a dragon, coil up; if you are a tiger, lie down, otherwise, I will beat your pride and arrogance until it shatters!"
At this moment, the disciples lying on the ground couldn't even get up. How could they dare to retort?
"Today's first class ends here." Saying this, Li Qiye smiled. As he was leaving, he said, "Of course, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can go and complain. But remember, those who complain about me, I will entertain them properly!"
As expected, that afternoon, Hall Master Zhou came to find him. The moment they met, Hall Master Zhou coldly said, "Teaching disciples should focus on imparting knowledge. The disciples of Wash Stone Peak are the future pillars of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. If anything were to happen to them..."
"If Hall Master Zhou is dissatisfied with me, please go and complain to the Elders," Li Qiye interrupted Hall Master Zhou, speaking calmly and at ease. "Since I am responsible for teaching, how I teach is my business, and no one needs to dictate. If Hall Master Zhou has nothing else, please excuse me."
"You—" Being cut off by Li Qiye, and furthermore, Li Qiye not even taking him seriously, made Hall Master Zhou tremble with anger.
"Hall Master Zhou, please leave," Li Qiye couldn't even be bothered to look at him. He was too lazy to waste words on someone of this caliber.
Hall Master Zhou was so angry he could have spat blood, his rage reaching the heavens. Gritting his teeth, he finally laughed in extreme anger and said coldly, "Good, good, good. We'll see how the disciples you teach fare in the assessment!" With that, he turned and left.
After Hall Master Zhou left, Li Shuangyan appeared from nowhere. She looked coldly at Li Qiye and said indifferently, "You're making enemies everywhere. Aren't you afraid someone will kill you?"
"Cultivation doesn't represent everything," Li Qiye said calmly, glancing at her. "Killing someone isn't difficult; it's about how you kill them and whether it's worth the effort."
"Speaking of killing!" Li Qiye couldn't help but smile. "In the Washing Yan Ancient Sect, what if there were thousands of troops? The more that come, the more I can kill!"
Li Shuangyan looked at Li Qiye and said indifferently, "So, you are very confident."
"However, don't forget, you are my Sword Servant. Protecting your master is your responsibility," Li Qiye said, too lazy to elaborate on such matters, reminding her.
"You—" Li Shuangyan was so angered by his attitude that her pretty face turned red. She had cultivated for so long and had a very stable Dao heart, but ever since she met Li Qiye, she had been angered to the point of spitting blood several times.
Li Shuangyan was, after all, a proud daughter of heaven. She took a deep breath, finally calming her mind. Looking at Li Qiye, she finally said coldly, "Taking me in is not difficult. At least, you need to give me a reason to submit."
"Azure Clear Physique, one of the Twenty-Four Emperor Physiques. A good constitution," Li Qiye said calmly, looking at her. "Stay by my side. In the future, I will guide you a bit. As long as you work hard and have my guidance, cultivating into the Immaculate Physique will not be a problem!"
"What a boastful tone, Immaculate Physique!" Li Shuangyan couldn't help but glare at Li Qiye and say coldly, "Do you know what the Immaculate Physique means? One of the Twelve Immortal Physiques! Throughout the ages, very few people have cultivated into an Immortal Physique! The Sage Physique Art I am currently cultivating is considered a top-tier physique art!"
Li Shuangyan, with her innate Emperor Physique, was already enough to make her proud. The Azure Clear Emperor Physique was extremely rare, one of the Twenty-Four Emperor Physiques. And the physique art she was cultivating now was already one of the most powerful in the world. However, for her, even cultivating her Azure Clear Physique into a Jade Clear Physique would take a very long time!
The Jade Clear Physique was one of the Eighteen Sage Physiques. Once this Sage Physique was formed, its power would be boundless and not to be underestimated!
"Buzz—" Without another word, Li Qiye suddenly revealed his Life Wheel. Divine light spun behind his head, and his blood energy surged like a giant kun leaping from the sea. His Fate Palace rose and fell. In that instant, Li Qiye fiercely kicked towards Li Shuangyan.
Li Shuangyan's expression changed. Her delicate hand swept through the air, holding a silver shield, and she blocked Li Qiye's kick.
"Bang—" With a loud bang, the weight of ten thousand mountains was beneath that kick, unfathomably heavy. Even so, it wasn't easy for Li Shuangyan. With a "crack," her silver shield shattered under the kick. Although she blocked the kick, she also took a step back, crushing the stone bricks beneath her feet!
Instantly, Li Shuangyan's face changed drastically. Li Qiye's kick wasn't the might of Dao, nor was it brute strength, but weight, pure weight.
It seemed as if Li Qiye's leg carried the weight of ten thousand mountains, and with a single kick, he could shatter mountains and rivers! This was impossible. Li Qiye's cultivation was still very shallow; his leg couldn't possibly be this heavy!
"Proud daughter of heaven, you are truly worthy of this title. To withstand the full weight of this kick, your cultivation is indeed remarkable," Li Qiye said calmly, glancing at her. "The 'Jade Clear Sage Heart Art' you are cultivating was obtained from the Martial God Hall, wasn't it? A decent physique art." After speaking, he turned and left.
Li Shuangyan was speechless for a long time. Her heart was immensely shaken. Since meeting Li Qiye, she had only felt that he was mysterious and unfathomable. However, the weight of Li Qiye's kick today had shaken her!
She believed that Li Qiye's cultivation definitely did not exceed the Body Tempering Realm, but the weight of Li Qiye's leg had shaken her. She could feel that this was not the power of the Great Dao, nor was it brute strength, but weight.
A person's leg could absolutely not be this heavy, at least not a Mortal Physique! Why was Li Qiye's leg so heavy! Thinking of this, Li Shuangyan's heart trembled!
If a physique was incredibly heavy, there were several such physiques. For example, the Mighty Mountain Physique of the Innate Physique, or the Demon Suppressing Physique of the Emperor Physiques, or even the Hell Suppressing Physique of the Sage Physiques.
However, it was evident that Li Qiye was not an Innate Physique, nor an Emperor Physique, nor even a Sage Physique! If it were an innate Emperor Physique or Sage Physique, it would definitely not escape others' eyes.
