Thud, thud, thud!
As the force burst through the air, footsteps rang out. The two figures abruptly sprang apart, each retreating seven or eight steps. They were evenly matched.
"How is this possible..."
Yue Hengshan's expression shifted slightly. He clearly hadn't expected that even after unleashing his True Qi, he still couldn't gain the upper hand.
"True Qi... truly extraordinary!"
Liu Chu's eyes gleamed, his expression brimming with excitement.
To reach the Middle Three Grades and enter the Neizhuang Realm, one had to practice a Neizhuang cultivation method and nurture a breath of True Qi, which could then strengthen the organs and marrow!
Of course, cultivating True Qi alone wasn't enough to break through into the Neizhuang Realm.
Once a Neizhuang cultivation method was practiced to the Entry Realm, one could cultivate a breath of True Qi. But using that breath to break through the Organ Refining bottleneck was exceedingly difficult.
Thus, quite a few Bone Refining martial artists who practiced Neizhuang methods had successfully cultivated True Qi, yet still hadn't entered the Organ Refining Realm.
They were stronger than ordinary Bone Refining experts, but still fell short of Organ Refining martial artists!
Clearly, Yue Hengshan was one such Bone Refining expert.
With that breath of True Qi, Yue Hengshan had been confident he could overpower the Three Friends of Songling and seize the Neizhuang cultivation method from them.
Yet now, facing Liu Chu, even after using his True Qi, he still hadn't managed to suppress him.
"This young man seems to have brought several blade techniques to perfection—or perhaps he's perfected a single Neizhuang Blade Technique. His skill with the blade is considerably better than mine..."
Yue Hengshan's heart sank. After their brief exchange, he could tell Liu Chu's mastery of the blade surpassed his own.
Either Liu Chu
