Overlord's Mountain Overturning Palm Aids Golden Lotus

Comfortable! Ever since Qin Haoxuan ate the mutated spiritual herbs from Immortal-Slaying Poison Valley, his body had been in a constant state of burning torment. Being hit by this palm strike actually brought him an indescribable sense of comfort.

He didn't know that the spiritual herbs in his body couldn't be digested and absorbed. If they accumulated for too long, his body would not only receive no benefit but would suffer great harm. If the spiritual energy within the herbs completely solidified, Qin Haoxuan would be crippled, if not dead.

Qin Haoxuan didn't realize that while randomly eating spiritual herbs could speed up his cultivation, it also carried huge hidden dangers.

Yuan Shanhu was also unaware that the person he was beating, if left alone, might be crippled or dead in a few days. He was even more oblivious to the fact that his malicious intent in beating Qin Haoxuan had inadvertently turned into a massage, greatly benefiting him.

Qin Haoxuan's body, protected by spiritual energy, was completely unharmed, astonishing the onlookers and making them doubt their own eyes. Yuan Shanhu's palm strike just now was powerful enough to leave a pit in the mud. Some disciples who had been cultivating in the Immortal Root Planting Realm for years felt they could barely withstand Yuan Shanhu's palm strike. Qin Haoxuan had only been cultivating for two days and was just a commoner who had recently broken through to the Immortal Seed stage. They couldn't fathom how he could be unharmed after taking that blow.

Not only could these people not understand, but Yuan Shanhu himself was baffled.

Zhang Kuang had told him that Qin Haoxuan had a good foundation in martial arts and was strong. Therefore, although the palm strike wasn't meant to kill, it still used forty percent of his strength, intending to incapacitate Qin Haoxuan for one to two months. But how could he be acting as if nothing happened?

How could this be? Zhang Kuang watched from afar, his eyes filled with astonishment. I know this Qin Haoxuan! He is indeed stronger than me, but not this much stronger, right? Did he never use his full strength when he hit me before?

"Is this the Mountain Overturning Palm?" Qin Haoxuan's eyes were also filled with surprise. The yellow light that suddenly flew towards him earlier was too fast to see clearly, and dodging it was impossible. He thought he would be badly hurt, but unexpectedly, it didn't hurt at all!

How could this be? Qin Haoxuan was equally puzzled. The blow felt neither painful nor itchy; instead, the heat in his body greatly subsided. After getting up, the heat returned. Am I a legendary masochist? This heat is truly uncomfortable. Would I feel better if Yuan Shanhu hit me again?

Tempted by the prospect of feeling comfortable and greatly reducing the heat in his body, Qin Haoxuan suddenly charged at Yuan Shanhu. Even if he couldn't hit Yuan Shanhu, getting hit by Yuan Shanhu would feel good. It was a win-win situation, so why not?

"Good kid!" Yuan Shanhu's eyes gleamed. With so many eyes watching, he hadn't managed to take down a newly admitted disciple with a single palm strike, and now the disciple was actively charging at him. This made him feel greatly humiliated, and he put more force into his next attack.

However, it was in broad daylight, and accidentally killing someone would be bad. He only increased his strength by ten percent, from forty percent to fifty percent.

Yuan Shanhu had been cultivating for twenty-five years and was in the third leaf of the Immortal Seedling Realm. This rate of progress would be considered bottom-tier in the entire Taichu Sect, but in Spirit Field Valley, a place for prodigies, he was considered average.

The yellow palm shadow struck again. Qin Haoxuan suddenly found that he could now slightly make out the flight path of the yellow palm shadow! His body instinctively dodged, but he still couldn't evade the Mountain Overturning Palm. With a dull thud on his chest, Qin Haoxuan was sent flying horizontally again! This time, he flew even farther than before, nearly ten meters, and after landing, he slid another two meters.

Did it hurt? No! Did it feel good? It felt amazing! Qin Haoxuan lay on the ground like a dead dog, feeling the heat in his body diminish once more. More of the heat seemed to transform into a clear stream, flowing into his bones and internal organs. But this refreshing sensation was extremely brief; moments later, the annoying heat surged again.

Qin Haoxuan pushed himself up with his hands and leaped up again. Even if I don't understand why it doesn't hurt when he hits me! But while I can withstand the hits, I must attack again! I need to take down these people before I start feeling pain! Otherwise, if this strange feeling disappears, I really won't be able to get up.

Qin Haoxuan didn't know that this was entirely the effect of the One-Leaf Golden Lotus he had consumed the previous night. With his current strength, he could only absorb less than one percent of the One-Leaf Golden Lotus's medicinal power. After a small portion was lost, the excess medicinal power accumulated in various parts of his body. If it couldn't be absorbed within a short period, it would be completely lost.

Every time Yuan Shanhu hit him, it was like helping him absorb the energy. The medicinal power stored in Qin Haoxuan's body was forcibly driven into his bone marrow. For anyone else, enduring such beatings, even with the same amount of medicinal power stored in their body as Qin Haoxuan, would have resulted in them being crippled long ago!

Yet, after consuming the One-Leaf Golden Lotus, Qin Haoxuan was practicing the Great Dao Heart Seed Demon Technique taught by the Undying Witch Demon from Immortal-Slaying Poison Valley. This technique contained a method of cultivating witchcraft, which was almost lost in the current cultivation world. Witch cultivators first needed to cultivate an incredibly strong physique. Initially, they absorbed spiritual energy and then sought out opponents of equal or greater strength to strike their bodies, driving the absorbed spiritual energy into their bones and internal organs.

However, this method of cultivation was extremely brutal and dangerous. If a cultivator wasn't careful, they could be beaten to death or severely injured.

Spiritual herbs in the world were also extremely scarce. Ancient witch cultivators couldn't afford to be as extravagant as Qin Haoxuan, consuming a One-Leaf Golden Lotus like a meal. They couldn't store large amounts of spiritual energy within their bodies to have others help them strike and absorb it.

Qin Haoxuan ignored everything else, got up, and rotated his neck. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he once again sprinted towards Yuan Shanhu.

"Is this kid a monster?" Yuan Shanhu was stunned for a moment, and Qin Haoxuan had already closed in to within ten paces. Trouble!

Yuan Shanhu didn't have time to marvel. Fearing that Qin Haoxuan would get too close, which would result in him being touched even if not injured, thus losing all face in the immortal sects, he directly increased the power of the Mountain Overturning Palm to sixty percent and struck again!

I can almost see the yellow light! A thought flashed through Qin Haoxuan's mind, but his body couldn't keep up with the speed of his thoughts. He was hit and sent flying again! The heat in his body began to subside once more, and more spiritual energy transformed into liquid nectar, entering his bones and internal organs, strengthening his body.

Thud! Qin Haoxuan fell heavily to the ground. Recalling the several times he had been sent flying, he realized that each time he was hit and got up again, he could see the path of the yellow light more clearly. Perhaps after a few more times, he would truly be able to dodge the attack that always hit him!

"Again!"

Qin Haoxuan stood up once more. Facing the monster-like stares of the onlookers and Yuan Shanhu, he rapidly charged forward again. This time, he was still eight steps away from Yuan Shanhu when he was hit again.

Each time Qin Haoxuan stood up, Yuan Shanhu increased his strength slightly, until he was using eighty percent of his spiritual power. The force of a single punch was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, yet he still couldn't take Qin Haoxuan down. He was even still full of vigor, showing no signs of injury except for being covered in dust and looking disheveled.

The onlookers had become somewhat numb to Qin Haoxuan's formidable ability to withstand beatings. Seeing Qin Haoxuan stand up again, no one exclaimed anymore, as if it were perfectly normal. If Qin Haoxuan couldn't stand up, that would be abnormal.

This time, Qin Haoxuan charged to within three steps of Yuan Shanhu. The more Yuan Shanhu fought, the more flustered he became. He had participated in hundreds of sparring matches and duels in his life, and even when facing stronger opponents, he had never been so bewildered. A trace of regret spread through his heart. He regretted kicking this iron plate that was Qin Haoxuan. If he couldn't defeat him, not only would he lose all face, but how could he hope to rise in status and achieve success in the future?

In his haste, he increased his eighty percent strength to ninety percent. He also abandoned the Mountain Overturning Palm and switched to a spiritual technique slightly more advanced than it!

Suddenly, an imposing aura erupted from Yuan Shanhu. He seemed to transform into a giant iron fist, exuding a sharp killing intent, aggressive and overbearing.

"Overlord's Fist! He's actually going to use the Overlord's Fist!"

"Heavens, is Yuan Shanhu going to kill him? Using such a tyrannical spiritual technique on a new disciple, if someone dies, won't he be afraid of the Enforcement Team?"

"The Overlord's Fist is incomparably powerful. With Yuan Shanhu's strength, even an iron plate would be crushed... This, this is going to be a death!"

Hearing the gasps of the bystanders, Xu Yu panicked. Her voice carried a hint of desperation as she shouted, "Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Qin, retreat quickly... Yuan Shanhu, if you injure Senior Brother Qin, I won't let you go!"

As Xu Yu shouted, she struggled, preparing to rush forward and block the punch for Qin Haoxuan. The female disciples who had been restraining her turned pale with fright and desperately held her back.

It was no joke. The Overlord's Fist was incredibly powerful. Even a disciple at the same third leaf of the Immortal Seedling Realm wouldn't have absolute confidence in withstanding it. Although Xu Yu was a Supreme Purple Seed, her cultivation was shallow. Rushing forward would only result in one more casualty.

If even a single hair on her head was harmed, she believed even the Sect Master would not let them off.

At this moment, Yuan Shanhu was also in a difficult position. He saw Zhang Kuang watching with eager anticipation, looking as if he wanted Qin Haoxuan dead.

Since he had already offended Xu Yu, even if he stopped now, she might not spare him once her cultivation reached a high level. He had no choice but to continue trying to please Zhang Kuang. Moreover, once the Overlord's Fist was unleashed, it couldn't be stopped. Forcibly retracting the power would lead to a spiritual energy backlash, possibly resulting in severed meridians, rendering him a cripple at best, or dead at worst.

Sensing the oppressive killing intent emanating from Yuan Shanhu, Qin Haoxuan couldn't stop himself either and collided with Yuan Shanhu's fist shadow once again.

"Boom!"

A deafening sound, a spiritual energy explosion, kicked up a sky full of dust. A crater about one meter in diameter and half a foot deep appeared at Qin Haoxuan's location. Qin Haoxuan lay in the pit, his life or death unknown.

At some point, the previously aloof, bearded man also appeared in the crowd. He had witnessed the entire duel, which involved a huge disparity in strength and had a shocking outcome. Qin Haoxuan's monstrous physique and resolute attitude greatly impressed him. However, he hadn't expected Yuan Shanhu to dare to commit such a heinous act. Even if Qin Haoxuan was resilient, he would surely die after taking a ninety percent powered Overlord's Fist from a senior brother in the third leaf of the Immortal Seedling Realm.

A murderous glint flashed in the bearded man's eyes as he stared at Yuan Shanhu. But when his gaze fell upon the smiling Zhang Kuang, he shook his head, sighed softly, and was about to leave.

The other bystanders also began to disperse. Since a life had been taken, the Enforcement Team would soon arrive. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was best to leave the scene as quickly as possible.

Just then, Qin Haoxuan, who everyone believed was dead, let out a long groan.

Yes, it was a groan of comfort. Before, when Yuan Shanhu had struck Qin Haoxuan, some of the heat in his body had lingered. But that last punch had been perfectly timed, as if Yuan Shanhu had struck his entire body from every angle. The refreshing feeling was like a hot bath for someone on the verge of falling apart, or a full-body massage. Yes, it was as comfortable as a massage.

Qin Haoxuan reveled in this complete sense of refreshment, but it was short-lived. Before long, that annoying heat returned...

"Damn it!" Qin Haoxuan cursed under his breath and nimbly stood up from the dirt pit. At this moment, he looked like a beggar, covered in mud, but this did nothing to prevent his image from rapidly soaring in others' minds, rising higher and higher, infinitely higher...

"My immortal ancestor above, what kind of freak is this kid? Even the Overlord's Fist couldn't kill him..."

"More than a freak, I'd say he's a monster. Look, he's only at the very beginning of the Immortal Root Planting Realm, just having broken through the seed stage, yet he can contend with someone in the three-leaf Immortal Seedling Realm..."

"Is the sect's Clear Mirror Immortal Eye broken? He... he's just a Colorless Weak Seed, can you believe it?"

"No way! If he's just a Colorless Weak Seed, then what am I? Scum?" a handyman disciple who had joined over ten years ago, and was also a Colorless Weak Seed back then, shouted out, immediately earning much agreement.

Even these old hands who had been around for over a decade wouldn't have been able to avoid injury from Yuan Shanhu's punch, yet Qin Haoxuan was completely unharmed. Not even a bruise could be found on his bare arms.

Was this even human? It was practically a monster!
