Punching a Bone Refining Expert to Death! Human Limit, Strength of an Elephant!

Qin Yu finished regulating his breathing, finally stabilizing the injuries within his body before slowly withdrawing his energy.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw a "massive" corpse lying on the ground; two tower-like bodies, one large and one small, lay before him, looking truly eyesore.

"Junior Brother Li Qiming?! What happened to you?!"

The presence of this extra large corpse indicated that a fierce battle had taken place!

Seeing Li Qiming lying nearby, Qin Yu could not help but feel a wave of panic.

Fortunately, Li Qiming slowly regained consciousness, first drawing in a sharp breath, his eyes flickering with a strange expression as if he were in great pain...

"Junior brother, are you injured?" Qin Yu asked with concern.

The large corpse beside them was clearly not an easy opponent; he truly wondered how his junior brother had managed to take down such an enemy.

"No." Li Qiming shook his head and stood up.

Qin Yu reached out to support him, but the next moment, his entire body was sent flying backward uncontrollably, landing with a loud thud as he tumbled over!

?

Li Qiming blinked his innocent eyes, a trace of surprise slowly forming in his expression.

"What immense strength! Junior brother, your body..."

Qin Yu scrambled up in a disheveled state, looking at the youth whose frame was visibly a size broader, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had assumed his junior brother was injured, but the moment he reached out to help, an astonishing, massive force had inadvertently radiated from the other's body, catching him completely off guard... Even if he had been prepared, it seemed he would have been hard-pressed to resist it!

Li Qiming stared at the large corpse on the ground and said distractedly, "While fighting him just now, at the moment of life and death, my strength suddenly surged..."

Before his voice had even faded, Senior Brother Qin's firm voice rang out first:

"It seems you must have awakened some kind of talent, a talent related to the hidden treasures of the human body."

Seeing the youth look over with a slightly surprised expression, Qin Yu continued solemnly, "As far as I know, martial arts is the process of developing the body's hidden potential. Humans possess inherent treasures without even realizing it. The master once said that all the martial arts manuals in the world today, when combined, barely scratch the surface of developing these human hidden treasures."

Hearing the other provide a reason for his immense strength, Li Qiming could not help but nod in satisfaction.

At the same time, he gained a better understanding of the strength he could barely control.

Just now, he hadn't even felt like he was exerting himself, yet Senior Brother Qin had nearly been sent "flying."

He didn't have much of a concept of his own strength in his mind, but his panel had gained an extra status column:

Talent: [Strength of Two Oxen and One Tiger] + [Strength of Two Oxen and One Tiger].

Visibly, the two talent entries merged with each other, finally combining into one talent—[Strength of an Elephant].

Ten thousand catties of brute force!

No wonder he had been able to send Senior Brother Qin "flying" with a touch; if he had used even a little effort, he likely would have caused him serious injury...

Well, the blood energy growing within his body was still violent, but within this "Steel Body" that had already been upgraded and strengthened to the limit, this bit of blood energy was no longer a threat.

I seem to be able to add even more blood energy cultivation...

Li Qiming pondered slowly.

"Junior brother, now is not the time to be dazed..."

Qin Yu suddenly said, having noticed that this junior brother of his often had a vacant gaze, his thoughts drifting off to who knows where, and coupled with his honest and sincere nature, everyone around him thought he was just simple-minded...

Yet he clearly remembered that during two separate crises, the other had timed his escapes to perfection, leaving him far behind.

When he thought he was surely going to die, his junior brother had used disguise and bone-shrinking techniques to lure and kill the small tower, and while guarding him, had triggered his body's hidden potential to kill the large tower.

The more he learned about this junior brother, the more he felt he was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Each event looked unremarkable on its own, but when gathered together, it became quite thought-provoking.

Could it be that his junior brother is a true genius?!

How many rising stars throughout history have been this astonishing.

At this thought, Qin Yu felt it was likely correct.

Li Qiming came back to his senses, naturally understanding the other's meaning; after all, the battle was intense, and joining the fray quickly to secure a win was the priority.

"Senior brother, can you still fight?"

"I still have fifty percent of my strength."

Li Qiming nodded, and then he and Qin Yu headed toward a place where "shouts of battle" could be heard.

They encountered quite a few corpses along the way; whenever Li Qiming saw one of his own, he would reach out to check for life, and if it were an enemy, they would receive a kick from him.

He did obtain quite a few entries along the way, but they were all from a bunch of low-level cultivators in the Blood Refining Realm, yielding nothing good. It was as if his luck had run out, and he hadn't encountered a single useful entry.

Li Qiming had almost forgotten that he himself was also a Blood Refining Realm martial artist; although he was at the Great Perfection state, without entering the Bone Refining stage, he was ultimately still a mortal.

"Brother Wang? A Bone Refining Realm martial artist!"

Qin Yu suddenly stared at a dark, dense forest, where Brother Wang, a Bone Refining martial artist from the Weiyuan Escort Agency, was locked in a fierce battle with a black-clad martial artist from the Demon Sect.

The black-clad martial artist wielded a crescent scimitar, his movements a dazzling blur.

"What fast blade technique!" Qin Yu could not help but exclaim.

Immediately after, he saw Brother Wang's face pale as parchment, his body covered in seven or eight deep, flesh-gaping saber wounds; he was already in critical danger!

"Junior Brother, stay hidden. I must save Brother Wang."

Throughout this journey, Qin Yu and Brother Wang had hit it off instantly; how could he stand by and watch now?

Most importantly, if Brother Wang died, there would be one less person to pin down the Demon Sect Bone Refining martial artist. The balance of the battle would inevitably tip, and once the enemy was free, no one would walk out of these mountains alive.

Just as Qin Yu was about to step into the fray, a thick arm barred his path. He accidentally collided with it, feeling as if he had struck a rod of iron, his chest aching from the impact.

"Senior Brother, your internal injuries haven't healed yet. Let me handle this."

As soon as the words fell, Li Qiming, dressed in his gray robe, shot forward, the wind generated by his movement powerful and fierce.

"Junior Brother..." Qin Yu stared at his back, stunned.

He immediately realized that this was a life-or-death struggle between Bone Refining experts. Even he had to be extremely cautious, looking for opportunities to strike, so how could his Junior Brother be so reckless?

How was this any different from throwing his life away?

This Junior Brother was sometimes sharp, yet at other times so foolishly thick-headed!

He hurriedly followed in his footsteps, hoping to rescue his Junior Brother from the battle at a critical moment.

"Kid, don't come over! You're no match for him!"

The moment Li Qiming charged into the dense forest, Brother Wang caught sight of him from the corner of his eye and immediately shouted a warning.

It wasn't just Brother Wang; even the Demon Sect Bone Refining martial artist knew that those wearing gray robes were only at the Blood Refining Realm. No matter how skilled they were, they couldn't break through his protective Gang Qi.

He glanced over once and dismissed him with disdain.

"Brother Wang, is it? Tell me, should I kill you first, or this kid..."

Before the words even left his mouth, he felt a massive sense of crisis strike him from behind!

He turned his head, and his pupils reflected a snow-white fist.

It was still that same gray robe, just a single fist, but why did the force behind it feel so wrong?

Crack!

This punch landed heavily on the Demon Sect Bone Refining martial artist's back.

In his eyes, filled with despair, the fist pierced through his protective Gang Qi as if it were nothing more than foam.

The immense force tore through his body, instantly shattering his internal organs. The Bone Refining martial artist was sent flying by the sheer power, and before he even hit the ground, he had completely stopped breathing in mid-air.

He slammed heavily into the earth, his face still frozen in an expression of disbelief.

Silence!

The entire forest, and the various skirmishes nearby, seemed to pause for a moment.

Brother Wang's heavy, ragged breathing hitched as he stared at Li Qiming as if he had seen a ghost.

If he wasn't mistaken, was this not the deserter from the very beginning? He had felt quite a bit of contempt for him, yet he never expected that this strike would be so utterly devastating!

If the other party hadn't intervened, he would have undoubtedly died under that fast blade. The other party... had effectively saved his life!

As for Qin Yu, who had been following closely behind Li Qiming, his footsteps also came to an abrupt halt. He stood rooted to the spot, staring at his Junior Brother's back, his heart filled with shock beyond measure!
