The palm print failed to strike Li Hao, Li Tiangang's angry expression froze for a moment.

The sword strike felt like countless flower petals drifting past his eyes, making him somewhat dizzy.

Flowers Bloom on the Other Shore.

This Sword Intent could actually affect him!

Shock was evident in Li Tiangang's eyes, but as a peak-level Three Immortalities Divine Soul, despite his decline in cultivation level, his State of Mind remained extremely strong, and he quickly regained his senses.

With a whoosh, a flash of cold light suddenly shot towards them.

The shock in his eyes instantly turned into overwhelming rage.

"You beast!!"

With a roar, Li Tiangang's Divine Soul, wielding a sword, swiftly swooped down to strike.

But Li Hao was closer and his sword speed was faster!

Li Tiangang only had time to slightly turn his body to dodge, but the sword blade grazed his shoulder, producing a metallic clang as it rubbed against his flesh, leaving a bloody hole!

The Three Immortalities Realm are: Undying Realm, indestructibility, and non-decay!

Once one reaches the "Indestructible Realm," one's physical body can remain Undying Realm and impervious to swords and blades in an instant!

It was only because Li Hao was wielding Divine Weapon that he was able to break through Li Tiangang's body. If it were a weapon of lower grade, it would not have been able to harm Li Tiangang at all.

With this power, even a master of the Three Immortalities Realm can move freely among tens of thousands of soldiers on the frontier and single-handedly behead them amidst the chaos!

If it were Grandmaster Realm, although they would be formidable in one-on-one combat, once surrounded by an army, they could be riddled with bullets and chopped into mincemeat in an instant!

Especially the army trained by the Divine General Residence, which is unstoppable even for Grandmaster!

With blood streaming from his shoulder, Li Tiangang stared wide-eyed at Li Hao in shock and anger, but in an instant, he raised his hand and, before Li Hao could retract his sword, seized the blade in a flash.

In terms of experience in killing enemies, Li Tiangang was tempered in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and his body had almost developed instincts for it!

Despite the cut on his hand, he threw a powerful punch at Li Hao's chest.

Li Hao quickly released his grip, but did not retreat. Instead, he clenched his fist with the hand holding the sword and roared as he unleashed the Half-Step Invincible Fist!

This punch broke the rules of the Half-Step Invincible Fist. He instantly fused with a Sword Intent, using his arm as a sword to unleash a combined Fist Sword strike!

The domineering fist intent and sharp Sword Intent slammed into Li Tiangang's palm. His rough palm, like a fan, tried to grasp Li Hao, but the Sword Intent in his fist penetrated deep into his bones. His arm made a cracking sound, and his body couldn't help but retreat.

With a single blow, both sides were forced back.

"Heaven and Man Realm!"

Li Tiangang stared at Li Hao in shock, and then he realized that Li Hao had actually kicked open the Heavenly Gate and stepped into the Grandmaster realm in that instant!

Its moves are no longer standardized, unrestrained, and unpredictable.

Li Hao's eyes were cold as he glanced at the sword in Li Tiangang's hand. For Swordsman, it was a disgrace to let his sword leave his hand. If it were any other Swordsman, he would most likely have chosen to take Li Tiangang's palm strike head-on, preferring to be seriously injured rather than let go.

But he never developed the mindset of Swordsman.

Swords or fists, use whatever can attack.

Weapons are external objects; the self is the core.

Thinking about all this, Li Hao's mind became clearer and calmer. He had just entered the Grandmaster Realm, and although his State of Mind had been broken, he had not yet established his own Grandmaster path.

But at this moment, he had already touched it.

There are no rules or regulations in the world; rules only come into being because of people.

But what about the Heaven and Earth around us?

Sun, Moon, and Stars, stars, All Things, rivers, Flowers and Grass, grass, and trees.

They are all different, but they get along well and complement each other.

True harmony doesn't come from forcing things together according to rules, but from finding the perfect balance where one person's needs are met and the other's are met.

Rather than wishful thinking!

Second Master meant by "half a step" might just be this.

Doing even half a step is enough!

A sudden burst of intense light erupted from Li Hao's eyes as countless Martial Arts Cultivation Method converged in his mind.

" Of All Things in Heaven and Earth and earth, of all phenomena, why should I be bound by them!"

Countless rivers flow through the world, but ultimately... All Streams Return to the Source!

Li Hao has found his own path, even if he has only seen the first step.

But at this moment, he already knew which direction he should take!

A powerful and imposing aura emanated from his body. Although he could still unleash Sword Qi without a sword in hand, he ultimately lacked the support of Divine Weapon, making it difficult to achieve his strongest killing move.

Therefore, Li Hao chose boxing.

His fist technique is also at the Sixth Dan, no less impressive than his swordsmanship!

Looking into that shocked yet furious gaze, Li Hao felt an urge to shatter it with his fists. He roared to the sky, and the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch. The terrifying power caused the surrounding ground to sink, and many Martial Arts were integrated into his fists.

His body surged forth with overwhelming force, his fists as powerful as mountains and rivers!

This punch is still in its rudimentary form, resembling the Half-Step Invincible Fist, but it only has a slight resemblance.

"Audacious in the extreme!!"

Li Tiangang also came to his senses, his eyebrows seemingly burning with Divine Flame: "I have shown mercy time and again, yet you dare to remain so stubborn!!"

He exuded a terrifying aura, unleashing the power of the Three Immortalities. At the same time, he suppressed his severe injuries and briefly unleashed the power of the Undeclining Realm.

His previously severely injured body showed signs of brief recovery, and his cultivation level seemed to be about to rise!

This behavior would leave even greater damage afterward, but the aura Li Hao was exuding at this moment left him with no other choice.

He will utterly crush their stubbornness, even if they are Grandmaster!

"Heavenly Gang!!"

When Li Qingzheng and his men arrived and saw this scene, they couldn't help but roar in grief and indignation.

Li Tiangang integrated numerous Signature Techniques, comprehended their principles, and created his own top-tier palm technique, which was released at this moment like a mighty sun.

The boundless golden light shone brightly, illuminating the surrounding streets and making them appear dim.

Li Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and his internal Cultivation Method circulated rapidly, unleashing the Trait of the Seven Stars Lighting Lamp. With this second cycle, his power doubled!

Despite the aftereffects and the exhaustion that follows, there's no time to worry about that now.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Li Hao was enraged, his entire body erupting with dazzling True Power. The fusion of his Dharma Form and the enhancement of his Object Manipulation Divine Power of controlling objects—all of this converged into this one punch!

Like a moth drawn to a flame, he charged towards the dazzling golden palm that exuded Killing Aura.

Then, they were engulfed by Divine Radiance.

With a deafening roar, the Heaven and Earth and earth seemed to tremble.

Horrible cracks appeared in the street, and the violent roar tore apart the surrounding houses.

Li Qingzheng quickly moved the people out of the houses to prevent them from getting hurt.

The golden divine palm suddenly shattered and exploded.

Everyone looked on in awe. With such a powerful force, no one except Li Qingzheng, Li Xuanli, and Li Fenghua could intervene, unless it was Lin Wujing.

But at this moment, he was merely a spectator, his eyes filled with shock as he gazed intently at the scene.

The golden light of the divine palm shattered, Li Tiangang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The violent force of the fist tore his Robe to shreds. After all, his clothes were not armor for battle; apart from his trousers, his strong and muscular upper body was revealed.

Countless scars covered his entire body, grotesque as earthworms, all wounds left from his battles on the Frontier.

Even if one achieves the Three Immortalities and has an indestructible physical body, the fact that so many injuries have still accumulated shows how brutal the fourteen years of war were and how many battles were fought!

While his clothes were ripped apart, Li Hao's figure flew backward like a cannonball in another place.

That punch, which gathered all the power in his body, ultimately failed to reach Li Tiangang before being shattered.

After being thrown hundreds of meters away, Li Hao finally stopped. Shock was evident in his eyes. Although he had just entered the Grandmaster Realm, he did not have enough time to settle down. He had hastily condensed all his Cultivation Method and failed to reach the true peak.

But this punch was the strongest power he could muster at that moment!

In the end, they still lost!

The difference in their cultivation levels, coupled with the fact that Li Tiangang himself was an existence surpassing even the top Heavenly Prodigy, meant the gap was still too large!

Li Hao turned around and saw the figure, engulfed in terrifying Sha Qi, walking towards him step by step, like Deity emerging from Blazing Flame!

With the shadow of death looming over him, Li Hao gritted his teeth, turned around, and crawled away into the distance. Then, he summoned a power to Object Manipulation and flew away into the distance!

"Get down here!!"

Li Tiangang roared angrily.

Its Aura rose, barely reaching the mid-stage of the Three Immortalities realm.

A thunderous force slammed down on Li Hao's head, knocking him from the sky, his spine feeling as if it had snapped.

Li Hao crashed to the ground, but did not give up. He climbed out of the pit and rushed off into the distance again.

But Li Tiangang's figure appeared suddenly as if teleported, and he struck out with a palm strike at close range.

Li Hao was sent flying, his ribs shattered and broken, his internal organs damaged, and blood gushed from his mouth and seven orifices as if being squeezed.

Blood flowed from his eyes, ears, and nose, making him look tragic and terrifying.

"You killed your brother and father, do you truly wish to become a demon?!"

Li Tiangang's gaze was icy.

Li Hao struggled to his feet, a powerful thought telling him he absolutely could not fall, absolutely could not fall in front of this man!

Seeing those stubborn eyes, Li Tiangang's eyes blazed with fury. "So what if you're Heavenly Talent? Don't forget your surname—you're Li!"

"You're from the Li Family!"

"Every member of the Li Family you see has dedicated their life to the Lineage. What have you done for the Lineage?"

"Everything you enjoy, every meal you eat, every grain of rice, every servant who serves you, belongs to the Li Family. It's all wealth and glory that everyone has worked so hard to obtain!"

"They are the soldiers who shed their blood on the frontier, your eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle... they paid for it with their lives!"

Li Tiangang approached Li Hao step by step, his eyes flashing with a piercing light. "You feel wronged, and that's true. I haven't been there for you, and that's what I did wrong. But have you lacked anything in terms of food, clothing, and other necessities?"

"Do you know how many sons were born after their parents died in battle? Should they also suffer such injustice?!"

"You say you ate Poison Pill, even if that's true, so what?!"

"You're not dead, you're still alive. With such Heavenly Talent, do you still need to care about that Divine Blood?"

"You can tell me, and I'll seek justice for you, but you want to kill those orphans and widows? Have you thought about your deceased second uncle? His Heroic Soul has vanished; can he rest in peace?!"

Finally, Li Tiangang stood before Li Hao, looking down at the battered and bruised boy:

"Tell me, what gives you the right to act so recklessly?!"

"Is it because of your skills, cultivated with the resources of the Li Family?!"

As Li Hao listened to the other party's angry shouts, he tried to hold back the blood gushing from his mouth and the shattered internal organs caused by the blow that had broken his ribs.

But the more I tried to hold it in, the more it seemed to surge forth.

He spat out the shattered Organs from his mouth, looked up at the other man, and a smile and a ferocity appeared in his eyes:

"Why say so much? Just kill me, and I'll never bear the surname Li again!"

When he heard the other person say, "Even if it's true, so what?", Li Hao was no longer willing to waste another word with him!

He didn't even bother to mention that, apart from food, drink, clothing, and other necessities, he had never enjoyed any Cultivation Resources!

But why bother explaining? Explaining to the person in front of you is pointless!

At this moment, he even felt a strange sense of relief, and even gratitude towards the Second Madam he had resented for over a decade!

Thank you for sacrificing the Divine Blood within her!

He felt a deep hatred and disgust for the fact that the blood of the man before him flowed in his body!
