Chapter 21

The next moment.

A giant palm wreathed in demonic qi came crashing down.

This single strike had just shattered over a hundred suits of armor!

"Sorry, but I don't agree with that."

Jiang Mu Ming swept his sleeve, and a far more overwhelming surge of energy erupted forth.

It directly scattered the demonic qi palm.

"A scholar has his own path. I call it—the Confucian Way!"

"Freeze!"

He stretched out a finger and traced rapidly through the air.

The character "freeze" was written in the void.

In an instant, golden light blazed! That "freeze" character swelled with the wind, and in mere moments, it became a massive "freeze"!

It descended swiftly from the air, landing upon the two men, Lawless and Unrestrained.

Golden light pinned them firmly, leaving them utterly unable to move.

"Th-this... what kind of trick is this?" Green-faced Yama paled in shock, struggling with all his might.

But it was useless.

"This is the scholar's path."

Jiang Mu Ming took a step forward, then swept his hand again. A "suppress" character blazed with golden light.

It slammed heavily toward Lawless and Unrestrained.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out.

The two were instantly blasted several zhang away by the "suppress" character.

They crashed heavily to the ground.

Blood gushed endlessly from their mouths.

"The scholar's path?" Green-faced Yama forced himself to his feet, glaring at Jiang Mu Ming.

Demonic qi erupted wildly around him.

He summoned the nine heavens' thunder down.

Lightning crackled around his body as he roared in fury, "I don't care what path you follow—today, you die here!"

Lawless and Unrestrained's demonic qi raged.

They struck with combined force.

A torrent of power surged toward Jiang Mu Ming like a tidal wave.

But Jiang Mu Ming showed no fear.

One step, one character.

He wrote "blade"—and an endless mountain of blades appeared.

He wrote "sword"—and an infinite Sword Forest arose.

He wrote "fire"—and a boundless sea of flames spread.

He wrote "water"—and a vast, endless river flowed.

No matter what martial arts Lawless and Unrestrained unleashed, before these forces of nature—mountains, rivers, heaven, and earth—

they were utterly helpless.

And when Jiang Mu Ming finished his seventh step, he suddenly recited:

"The Zhao guest, with rough silk cap, The Wu hook, frost-bright in the moon. Silver saddle on a white horse, Swift as a shooting star. Ten steps, one man slain— For a thousand miles, no trace remains. When the deed is done, he flicks his sleeves and goes, Hiding his name and his deeds."

As the verse ended, a silver light from beyond the nine heavens illuminated the entire sky, as if it had come from a thousand miles away.

Like a shooting star.

A thousand miles in an instant—a flash of silver—and it pierced the hearts of Lawless and Unrestrained.

Their eyes bulged in fury, but they could only... die in unwillingness!

Jiang Mu Ming turned, hands clasped behind his back.

A faint smile touched his lips.

He spoke calmly: "This is the scholar's path."

In the distance.

Xiao Ruo Feng's heart trembled with unprecedented shock!

A poem in seven steps.

A sword from beyond the heavens.

How breathtaking!

Beside him, Confucian Immortal Gu Chen patted Xiao Ruo Feng on the shoulder.

He smiled and said, "How does this move compare to your master Li Changsheng's?"

PS: Many of you gave five-star reviews and gifts yesterday, so today I offer four chapters. I guarantee these four chapters will make your reading experience thoroughly enjoyable!!!

[Welcome all Yan Zu and beauties to the pit!!!]

Xiao Ruo Feng shook his head in bewilderment.

This move—casual and effortless—killed enemies with a poem, slaying two envoys from Beyond Heaven in succession.

It was truly stunning to behold.

But in Tian Qi City, no one had ever seen Li Changsheng unleash his full power.

Li Changsheng's title of Number One Under Heaven.

It was a sheer cliff of supremacy! No one could rival him!

Yet the youth before him.

With laughter and idle talk, he effortlessly cut down the Lawless and Unrestrained duo.

His limits were equally invisible.

Perhaps... only when the two truly fought at full strength would anyone know who was superior.

"Confucian Immortal, do not flatter me."

Jiang Mu Ming walked over slowly, smiling. "Academy Mister Li's great name—who under heaven does not know it, who has not heard it?"

"With my current cultivation, I cannot yet compare to Mister Li."

Li Changsheng's talent was peerless. Before the age of twenty, he had entered the Fourteenth Realm, also known as the Profound Spirit Realm.

Now, he had lived for one hundred and eighty years.

He had long reached an unknowable realm—perhaps even transcending the Profound Spirit Realm itself.

At present, Jiang Mu Ming had only just entered the Fourteenth Realm.

Even with the boost of Talent Infusion, the combination only made him somewhat stronger than an ordinary Fourteenth Realm cultivator.
