Li Qingshan turned towards Xiao An and said, “Wait here. Watch how I tear through his military formation!”
With that, he planted a foot on the steps. Over a dozen figures leapt up and immediately filled his vision. As they called out, they attacked every inch of Li Qingshan’s body at the same time. Their combination was flawless, like they were a single person. They sealed off every single direction for Li Qingshan, along with any possibility for him to dodge.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! He was basically struck at the same time all over his body. The punches, kicks, palm strikes, and knee strikes were like spear thrusts and hammer blows. Even a boulder would be smashed to pieces by them.
We’ve won. All the disciples who launched the attack thought at the same time. He had no protective techniques. They did not even sense any protective true qi. How was he supposed to withstand their punches and kicks with his body alone?
“Now, this is the welcoming ceremony our school of the Military gives to esteemed guests!” said a military disciple, answering Li Qingshan’s little joke from earlier.
Li Qingshan lowered his head. His tied-up hair was shaken loose, draping onto his face.
“Really? Punches as weak and as powerless as this don’t seem like a particularly enthusiastic welcome.”
The military disciple who had spoken suddenly became stunned. A pair of eyes shone red like a beast’s within the messy hair as his lips curled into a vicious grin, exposing his snow-white teeth.
With a jolt, the true qi stored within his sea of qi began to surge out.
All the military disciples who had struck him were sent flying, landing far away. Their arms and legs that they had used to strike Li Qingshan were in agony, but none of them groaned. Some of them even struggled back onto their feet, wanting to fight back.
“It’s best if people like that just sit out if that’s all the strength that you have. People like that can’t pique my interests at all.”
As Li Qingshan said that, he continued to climb up the steps. Whenever he climbed a step higher, even more and even stronger military disciples would attack him. He still did not fight back, allowing his body to endure their attacks. He did not even bother to shake them off. The punches from third or fourth layer Qi Practitioners would never be able to harm him even without protective true qi.
On the steps, the military disciples had completely surrounded Li Qingshan, punching and kicking him, but they failed to slow him down, not even slightly. Instead, their arms and legs ached as Li Qingshan shook them off. They were in utter shock. Just how powerful were his defences?
Li Qingshan could tell that he had to climb to a certain height before stronger military disciples would attack him.
Han Tieyi watched on from the very top. Their gazes met.
Li Qingshan smiled. Suddenly, he leaned forwards, and his arms draped down naturally. The stone steps that had been reinforced using techniques cracked under his feet.
All of a sudden, Li Qingshan’s figure vanished from before the military disciples.
Li Qingshan had already shot off like an arrow, charging through the military disciples in his way and sending them flying. He directly rushed towards the highest point on the steps.
The Tiger Demon Climbs the Mountain in an unstoppable fashion.
No one had expected Li Qingshan to actually be so fast when he decided to move quickly. In the blink of an eye, he reached the top of the stairs, only ten steps away from Han Tieyi.
The military disciples all roared out, “Stop him!”
Not a single disciple remained where they were anymore. All of them were alarmed and set off at the same time. If they allowed Li Qingshan to charge to the very top, they truly would become laughing stocks.
“Eat my fist!”
Li Qingshan grinned. The bones throughout his entire body thrummed as he mobilised all the true qi in his dantian. Nothing happened when he remained still, but once he struck, he would unleash his full strength.
His vision suddenly dimmed, as if a wall had appeared out of nowhere, blocking his path to Han Tieyi.
The giant lumberman Mu Kui let out a furious roar. Lifting his arms over his head, he swung them down like battering rams.
He was the otherperson who had once competed against Li Qingshan in a trial of strength. He was naturally endowed with unrivalled physical strength, and he had spent most of the past year working diligently, allowing his strength to reach a whole new level. He wanted payback right now.
Thump! The platform at the very top of the steps seemed to shake.
The punch and the battering rams collided.
Mu Kui was overwhelmed with shock. Under an overwhelming force, his colossal body stumbled backwards before he collapsed on his bottom in the end.
Li Qingshan maintained his posture of throwing a punch without taking a single step back.
The ox demon had provided him with great physical strength, while the tiger demon had provided him with unrivalled explosive power. Together, he could even force back a giant lumberman who was naturally endowed with strength.
However, Mu Kui’s obstruction gave the military disciples the opportunity to stop Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan looked around.
The strongest disciple present at the eighth layer had already arrived before him. His fists actually burned with flames, fusing his abilities as a Body Practitioner and a Qi Practitioner together. Even Li Qingshan could not afford to underestimate him.
A little further away, over a dozen seventh layer Qi Practitioners unleashed their various techniques and shone with an assortment of colours. Even further away, several hundred men of the school of the Military formed a sea of surging heads, lunging over like a wolf pack that had spotted prey.
In front of him, Mu Kui had stood up again; he spread out his arms, refusing to let Li Qingshan pass.
“That’s more like it! Come get me together!”
Li Qingshan laughed before turning around and charging into the crowd. He was like a fierce tiger that had climbed to the very top of the mountain before turning around and lunging back down.
The Tiger Demon Descends from the Mountain!
The first in line was a seventh layer Qi Practitioner. He wielded his palm like a knife as Geng Metal true qi condensed a blade. His moves were as swift as lightning, specialising in tearing through protective true qi.
The path of the military did not have any spectacular techniques, but what they could do was condense all their power into a single point, forming a simple but highly effective killing move.
His plan was that as long as he could force back Li Qingshan by even half a step, they would be able to fall into formation and launch combined attacks against Li Qingshan. By then, no matter how capable Li Qingshan was, he would not be able to break free. He would be a sitting duck.
Li Qingshan only attacked without defending. He allowed the Geng Metal blade to land on him while all he did was smile viciously and throw a punch.
At that moment, whoever retreated would take a great blow to their momentum.
If that’s the case, then I’ll make you suffer. The military disciple gritted his teeth and swung down hard.
Even an idiot knew what was more damaging—being struck by a punch or being chopped by a blade.
With a thump, the military disciple took off like a broken kite, falling down the steps and colliding against his fellow officers. His eyes were wide open. All he saw was a white mark on Li Qingshan’s shoulder, which soon disappeared.
Just what kind of body tempering techniques did he practise? That was the final thought that flashed through his head before he fainted.
