"You're courting death!"
The figure let out a low roar, sprang up from a seated position, and pressed a palm down toward Jiang Yi!
Jiang Yi showed not the slightest fear. Forming a Tiger Roar Fist seal, he raised his hand to meet the blow!
"Boom!!!"
The two collided, making space shudder as a terrifying shockwave swept outward.
The entire stone chamber collapsed completely!
Earth and rocks flew everywhere. Amid the backflowing dust and smoke, their gazes met.
One burst with Killing Intent; the other surged with fighting spirit!
As though he had noticed something, the Great Stronghold Master of Black Wind Stronghold suddenly looked around.
All he saw were severed limbs and blood strewn everywhere!
"Where are my men? Was it you? Did you kill them all?"
He stared fixedly at Jiang Yi!
A rolling, vicious Baleful Intent poured from his body, revealing killing intent so dense it was nearly tangible.
"Otherwise? Should I have kept them overnight?"
Jiang Yi met his gaze, his eyes calm as he answered indifferently!
He was not affected in the slightest.
Instead, his blood boiled, and a thread of battle intent rose in his heart.
From their exchange just now, he sensed that this fellow before him had likely already broken through!
He had reached the Bone-Tempering Realm!
"You... very well!" The Great Stronghold Master laughed from extreme fury, his voice grim and ice-cold!
"You slaughtered my men and destroyed my foundation."
"You are the first person I have ever seen who dared to be so arrogant!"
"Rest assured! This Stronghold Master will not let you die so easily. I will slowly, bit by bit, torment you.
Let you taste what it means to be worse off than dead!"
He moved!
A terrifyingly vicious aura spread from his body, accompanied by an earthshaking tiger roar!
It seized the soul!
On him, Jiang Yi seemed to see a colossal black tiger lunging toward him.
It did not seem to be an ordinary savage tiger, but an evolved—
Tiger Demon!!!
The demon king among tigers, radiating savage brutality as though ready to choose someone and devour them.
This was one of the great traits of Bone-Tempering!
Martial arts entered the bones!
Beyond strengthening the physique, making the bones hard as iron and the fleshly body like steel, the most important thing was that the marrow produced Blood Qi and vigorous vitality.
Blood Qi was born from martial arts, and martial arts in turn merged into Blood Qi!
The two intertwined, giving martial artists of this Boundary an aura like a rainbow, their true martial intent blooming outward!
Jiang Yi stood ready for battle!
Power churned within his body, seven thousand five hundred jin of force filling every inch of him.
All kinds of intent were contained within it as well!
With every movement, his strength gathered into force and flowed through his limbs.
So what if his entire body was like steel? With overwhelming strength, he could crush ten thousand techniques!
Even if he could not break through his defense, he would hammer him to death alive.
He would use his fists and palms as blunt weapons to shake him to death!
The two collided fiercely once more!
As their fists crashed together, the shockwaves directly tore through the air, setting heaven and earth booming like thunder, deafening to the ears.
The Great Stronghold Master's body shook violently. He staggered, and the ground beneath his feet could not bear his weight, splitting apart.
Shock appeared beneath his savage expression!
What kind of strength was this?
Was he born with divine strength?
Jiang Yi stood tall and straight, unmoving where he stood!
His arms went numb as a violent force seeped into them.
It rampaged wildly, attempting to rip apart his flesh, tendons, and bones!
Jiang Yi tensed his body and shook both arms. Vast power surged forth, instantly grinding it away without a trace!
"Is this all the Bone-Tempering Realm has?"
"Then it's my turn!"
Cauldron Origin Mountain Splitting in his left hand, Boulder Tiger Roar in his right—heavy and majestic, domineering and savage!
His body shot forward!
Both fists moved together, opening and closing in sweeping arcs. Fierce winds billowed as force and strength merged as one.
It was like wielding a massive warhammer in a crushing blow!
"Roar!!!"
Seeing Jiang Yi charge at him of his own accord, utterly disregarding him, the Great Stronghold Master was naturally enraged beyond measure!
As a stronger man, he had suffered such grave provocation from a weaker one.
Like an ancient Tiger Demon gone mad, his eyes were crimson as blood, his face twisted with viciousness and malice!
Savagery surged straight into his chest!
Killing Intent rolled like a tide!
His aura swelled several degrees further, releasing an indescribable demonic nature!
It was as if he had fallen into madness!
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The surrounding space was nearly turned into a vacuum by their clash, the air compressed layer upon layer until it exploded!
The rain could not fall.
It evaporated above them into rising white mist, sweeping in all directions.
Jiang Yi smashed out punch after punch, each one heavy and mighty, vast and majestic!
Every punch sent the Great Stronghold Master staggering unsteadily, his flesh reddening and his tendons and bones crackling.
He seemed somewhat unable to endure such immense strength!
Meanwhile, the Great Stronghold Master looked like a bloodthirsty, crazed beast possessed by madness!
It was as though he felt nothing at all!
From time to time, he let out Tiger Demon roars and charged in regardless of everything, fists and claws alternating!
The only thing missing was opening his mouth to tear and bite.
With every clash, a violent and savage force seeped into Jiang Yi's body.
It sought to shatter his flesh, tendons, and bones.
Jiang Yi's body pulsed as his Blood Qi surged and roared within him, wearing it all away piece by piece.
His will was even firmer than a boulder!
Under the intimidation of that terrifying aura, he was not affected in the least. Instead, the longer he fought, the fiercer he became!
He grew ever more powerful!
He beat the Great Stronghold Master back step by step!
Ancient scriptures glimmered faintly within his sea of consciousness, as though dust had been brushed away from ignorance.
His mind cleared at once!
All things in the world reflected in his eyes slowed down, their patterns and true essence revealing themselves one by one before him.
He only felt that the Great Stronghold Master was full of openings. Raising his hand, force burst forth as he struck with a Cauldron Origin Mountain Splitting palm!
As though holding an ancient cauldron weighing a thousand jin, he split steles and shattered stone!
He pressed it into the Great Stronghold Master's chest!
"Pshh!!!"
With just one palm, pain twisted across the Great Stronghold Master's face. His eyes bulged as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
A trace of clarity appeared in his scarlet eyes!
He broke free from his maddened state and came back to his senses.
A thread of panic rose in his heart!
Where had this freak come from? His strength was like that of an elephant, yet he could fight across realms!
In this remote backwater!
How could such a genius with a Special Physique appear here?
He seemed to think of something!
Fear and tension appeared on his face. Staring at Jiang Yi, he spoke in a trembling voice,
"Hundred Beasts Sect? Are you from the Hundred Beasts Sect?"
"Hundred Beasts Sect? Never heard of it!"
Jiang Yi picked up an ordinary broadsword from the ground. Covering ten feet in each step, he advanced toward him!
The aura around him suddenly shifted, and a terrifying fury rose up!
Like raging waves!
Sweeping across the clouds and sky!
"You... should be on your way!"
Boom!!!
Wrathful Blade Intent and Tiger Roar Intent intertwined, their meanings merging together.
Tiger Roar seized his soul!
Wrathful Blade Slash destroyed mortal flesh!
His trump card—
Tiger Roar Wrathful Blade Slash!
His entire body was like a machine operating beyond its maximum load!
His whole body pulsed, his heart pumping like a machine, his blood flowing like slurry as rolling Blood Qi gathered into one arm!
A hazy bloody light spread across the blade!
With one slash, heaven and earth lost their color!
Facing this blade, endless terror rose in the Great Stronghold Master's heart. His body trembled as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
An immense aura of death descended upon him!
He could not block it!
He simply could not block it!
Especially when he saw the hazy bloody light on the blade, boundless terror filled his face!
"Blood Qi Realm!"
"You are a martial artist of the Blood Qi Realm..."
He instinctively turned to flee, but the aura of that slash had already locked onto him...
The instant the Great Stronghold Master turned around, the blade light fell...
His entire body suddenly shook!
Torn into four pieces!
