Junior Leopard’s fists were hard. His fists were very strong, beyond Lin Xiaoqing’s expectation. Under the attack of Junior Leopard’s fists, Lin Xiaoqing already knew that he could not hold out for much longer by only using his Gang Qi. This being the case, he might as well fight back!

Without any hesitation, Lin Xiaoqing did not just launch his Gang Qi but he also swung up his fists to strike back, just like Junior Leopard had done.

“Bang, bang, bang—!” Fierce strength flowed all around. Lin Xiaoqing and Junior Leopard backed up about five steps respectively, with stern expressions.

Junior Leopard was surprised that the Level Eight expert had a well-deserved reputation. His Internal Qi was as hard as steel. After peeling off the Gang Qi, every punch reached the opponent’s flesh. Junior Leopard clearly felt that his fists were full of irony Internal Qi. Even if he had used the Heavenly Jade Technique, an incredible addition strength in the view of common people, he was just on par with Lin Xiaoqing. Unless he could create Critical Hit by combining the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, his fist strength alone could not do anything to Lin Xiaoqing.

Actually, Junior Leopard was at a disadvantage during the fist fight.

With the addition of the Heavenly Jade Technique, his fist strength could, or the time being, confront Lin Xiaoqing. However, there was a big gap between them; their body strength.

One was at Level Seven while the other was at Level Eight!

There was a big difference between them in terms of their body strength. A Level Eight expert’s body could harbor the steel Internal Qi. It was way stronger than a Level Seven expert.

After dozens of fist fights, Junior Leopard felt that his fists were weak. Not only were his fists fragile, but also his two arms were numb.

“The Level Eight expert was really worthy of the reputation. If I had my two big hammers at hand, I could have been at an advantage. Now I’m afraid that I can’t make it!” Junior Leopard said to himself. However, he did not regret anything because everything had met his expectation.

They punched each other a while longer. Junior Leopard felt that he was not very lucky today; it seemed that there was no sign of the Critical Hit. If it went on like this, even if the Critical Hit appeared, he did not dare to use it. After all, his fists could not bear such power anymore.

Such being the case, his fist trend changed; suddenly, they were soft, and he did not directly resist Lin Xiaoqing fists anymore.

“Hum?”

Lin Xiaoqing was a little bit shocked. He stepped back abruptly. Without noticing, Junior Leopard’s fists had already smacked in Lin Xiaoqing’s face. His face was not the same as his fists. No matter how hard the face was, it would suffer great pain from Junior Leopard’s fist attack. Lin Xiaoqing had to step aside quickly, which made him lose a good opportunity.

Junior Leopard displayed his punching skill to the full extent.

When Junior Leopard was working his punching skill, Lin Xiaoqing was not as optimistic as before.

Lin Xiaoqing was from the Tian Long Taoism and had a high cultivation. Since he reached Level Seven twenty years ago, he had not been in a fight for a long time. Even if sometimes he encountered an opponent, he would use his Gang Qi to go head to head with his opponent. For those who had a higher cultivation than him, he, of course, could not win. In contrast, those who had a lower cultivation would quit earlier under the power of his Gang Qi.

He had never met a person like Junior Leopard who could strangely break through his Gang Qi only by the fists, even when he was still using his Gang Qi.

Generally speaking, smashing the Gang Qi forcibly with the body would happen when a Level Nine expert fought against a Level Eight expert or when a Level Eight expert fought a Level Seven expert. Now the reverse was happening.

He was unfortunate. The Frost Gang Qi that he had practiced was a top-level Gang Qi in the world, but he had crossed paths with Junior Leopard, who had the Poison Cold Shield. In terms of its nature, the Poison Cold Shield possessed the function of intensifying its power by absorbing the Evil Qi. Besides, the Poison-absorbing Green Bead had been used for practicing the Poison Cold Shield. Therefore, Junior Leopard, as a result of owning the Poison Cold Shield, was not afraid of any poisonous things or any Evil Qi on earth. The Evil Qi in Lin Xiaoqing’s Frost Gang Qi was at a high level, but this also made it a good supplement for the Poison Cold Shield.

Although the Frost Gang Qi, other than just hurting the opponents with the Evil Qi, could also attack and defend plus other good functions, Junior Leopard’s Heavenly Jade Technique was very tough. His fist strength was so powerfully frightening that Lin Xiaoqing had no chance to give a counterattack using the Gang Qi. A shower of punches made Lin Xiaoqing’s Gang Qi weak.

His Gang Qi could not withstand but it didn’t really matter. When a Level Eight expert fought with a Level Seven expert, even if he did not have the Gang Qi, he still had the upper hand. Junior Leopard had strange Internal Qi and a strong cultivation method, but the difference of their body strength was easily visible. Lin Xiaoqing’s advantage was obvious.

However, Junior Leopard was good at playing the punching skill!

It was a pity that Lin Xiaoqing had not fought with others for many years. He had not practiced his old Kung Fu for a long time. This time, he was sort of stunned when Junior Leopard approached him.

Junior Leopard’s three continuous punching attacks missed Lin Xiaoqing by a tiny inch. But being a Level Eight expert, Lin Xiaoqing was flexible, so he easily evaded the punches each time. When he dodged, his footsteps levitated a bit and this revealed his numbers to Junior Leopard.

“This guy is not skilled in the punching skill!”

Seeing this, Junior Leopard did not hold back anymore. He opened his arms sending forth a whiff of weird and remote Qi Power from his body.

“Fist intent!”

Lin Xiaoqing felt the surrounding atmosphere become eccentric; earlier he had been scrambling on his feet and now his face took on a ghastly expression.

Zhou Bao had insights on the fist intent. He learned this earlier on. Nevertheless, he was skeptical when he first heard about it.

“Intent” was an extremely mysterious thing!

If one wanted to comprehend the intent, he had to satisfy at least two conditions. First, he had to possess the divine thoughts and had to also feel them. Second, he had to have a deep understanding in certain skills. It would be better if he could have a sudden enlightenment and apprehend its essence, then he could likely produce the intent.

He was already 58 years old. He became a Level Seven expert when he was 38 years old; his divine thoughts initially formed when he was 39 years old. He once tried to forge his own intent. However, after exploring and striving for five years, he still failed to make any progress, so he gave up. Like other experts, he practiced and grasped his Gang Qi, being Gang Qi-oriented.

It was just for this reason, that he came to realize just how hard it would be for him to condense the intent. Although he did not believe it at the very start, later, when he heard that Junior Leopard had killed Buyan Gerel, he was convinced. He knew Buyan Gerel, an expert at the same level with him. However, Buyan Gerel was much stronger than him with regard to his status and strength on the prairie. The reason was simple, Buyan Gerel figured out his own first intent.

To the experts of the same level, there was a vast difference between those who had condensed the intent and those who had not.

Buyan Gerel could not even be killed with a set of Mysterious Celestial Devices, not to mention that what Junior Leopard had was a set of Psychic Celestial Device, unless he had also condensed the intent.

However, even if Junior Leopard had condensed the intent, Lin Xiaoqing did not care too much because the intent only prevailed among experts of the same level. His cultivation was one level higher than Zhou Bao. He also kept an eye on Zhou Bao’s celestial device. Zhou Bao had not condensed the Evil Qi. Although he could display the fist intent, he could not break through his Gang Qi. What else could he do?

It was beyond his expectation that Junior Leopard’s fist intent was this terrifying. When Junior Leopard was opposing Lin Xiaoqing’s Gang Qi, even if Junior Leopard did not completely display his fist intent, he could already shatter Lin Xiaoqing’s Gang Qi. Now Junior Leopard was close to him and displayed his fist intent in full swing. Lin Xiaoqing worried that his Level Eight body could not withstand Junior Leopard.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly; his hand touched his waist, and a pale golden light glinted from his hand.

Junior Leopard was fighting fiercely. All of a sudden, a golden light flashed over his eyes. He stared at the light for a second, and his face changed. It turned out that a golden net had appeared abruptly and was dropping in his direction to catch him.

“This Knot Golden Net was meant to take on your Demon Devil Needles, but you’re unexpectedly awesome. You forced me into such a situation without using the Demon Devil Needles!”

“Hum!” Junior Leopard just laughed grimly, lifted his left hand and scratched toward the net. His right hand followed and punched the Knot Golden Net.

“A broken star fist! Break!”

With a strange whoosh, the Knot Golden Net that was used for dealing with the Demon Devil Needles was torn to pieces by this fist.

“Impossible!” Lin Xiaoqing shouted in a peculiar voice. However, before he reacted, Junior Leopard’s open hand had already reached him.

Subconsciously, he wanted to withdraw, but to his terror, he found himself in a rum hollow. This hollow was awash with unspeakable power, invisible and massive, which held his shadow firmly in place.

“What’s this?”

Junior Leopard’s figure disappeared in front of Lin Xiaoqing, while a giant star appeared and crashed him along an abstruse orbit.

The star emerged at a far distance, like twinkling stars near the horizon. For an instant, it came with endless destructive power and bumped right into him.

“Crack, crack—!”

Formidable strength followed; the sound of his skeleton cracking inside his body was clear, like fractured metal.

“What? What’s wrong with me? What’s happening?”

A blazing liquid burst out from the inside.The intense pain brought him out of his bewilderment.

“I am hurt. My rib is broken. I lost!”

After awakening, Lin Xiao’s thoughts became confused and vague again. He fell from the sky. Before his body touched the ground, Junior Leopard grabbed his collar and threw him into the air.

…

“Splash!” Lin Xiaoqing’s body was cast at Wu Yufei and Lyu Yiyue’s feet like a battered sack.

“You, you killed The Elder Lin. How dare you! You killed him. You’re dead! You—!”

“Bang—!” With a sharp snap, Wu Yulong’s body was knocked off into the air and dropped to the ground heavily.

“This slap was a lesson from me on behalf of the Family Head,” said Junior Leopard coldly.

“You—!” Wu Yulong who was on the ground, suddenly turned over and stood up; his eyes were full of venom. It was not a hard slap, however, Junior Leopard used an insidious way to direct his Qi, which did not hurt other parts of his body but made his face to swell like a steamed bun.

“Why me?” Junior Leopard felt refreshed when he saw Wu Yulong staring at him with nefarious eyes. Perhaps he had been stifling his emotions for a long time, so he needed a form of release.Therefore, when he saw Wu Yulong angry and helpless, he was very pleased, but his eyes were cold.

Wu Yulong, who had just received a cold look from Junior Leopard, slightly recoiled back; he was afraid and drooped his head.

“Elder Zhou, this thing!”

“Don’t worry, First Elder. I was just teaching him a lesson!” Junior Leopard said and extended his foot to kick Lin Xiaoqing’s body. “Could you kindly please bring the Tian Long Taoism Elder back? This time, for the sake of Chief Wang She I will spare his life!”

“He’s still alive.That is good enough!” After hearing this, this took a load off Lyu Yiyue’s mind and he crouched down to examine Lin Xiaoqing’s body. He worried that Junior Leopard would kill Lin Xiaoqing in a fit of anger. In that case, his behavior would thoroughly irritate the Tian Long Taoism and their Wu Family would pay the consequences.

Even if Junior Leopard had not killed him, they would still have a hard time explaining to the Tian Long Taoism after they went back because Junior Leopard had beat him severely. Hence, Lyu Yiyue raised his head in embarrassment and said, “Elder Zhou, you’ve badly hurt Elder Lin, may I suggest he recuperates for a few days in your residence before he can go back—?”

His tone revealed a hint of inquiry. Although he was the Wu Family’s First Elder and ranked top in reference to ability, he had to admit that, since Junior Leopard had risen like a comet, he was no match for Junior Leopard, an outer core elder who was young and powerful. Today, Lin Xiaoqing’s experience proved that Junior Leopard was strong. Consequently, he kept a lower profile than before.

“That’s OK. You just bring him back!” Junior Leopard waved his hand, and a sneer rested on his lips. “Regarding the Tian Long Taoism, I could be tactful. As for the several well-known families, hum, I’m a baron of the imperial court.They are not qualified to order me around!”

Seeing Junior Leopard so full of confidence, Lyu Yiyue could not help being concerned about him. Junior Leopard had not shown him any respect in spite of him being the Wu Family’s outer core elder. Now he was a competent person with real power, so he controlled many resources. If he really became hostile to the Tian Long Taoism and those well-known families, it would not be a good thing for the Wu Family. In particular, Junior Leopard’s strength was perversely mighty. His power topped in the Wu Family. Anyway, Junior Leopard alone could deter the other three smelting families in the Great Jin, which was a great benefit to the Wu Family!

However, if the Tian Long Taoism wanted to counter Junior Leopard, then the Wu Family would likely lose such a giant deterrence. At the thought of this, he said spontaneously, “Elder Zhou, you may not know this but Chief Wang is said to have been seriously hurt. He was confined to his house earlier. Rumor has it that his cultivation would be useless even if he could recover.”

The martial arts practitioners world always treasured strength the most. Once a person lost his strength, all would be in vain no matter how excellent he had been in the past. Wang She was one of the three Chiefs of the Tian Long Taoism and also a Level Nine expert. However, if his cultivation was ruined, even if the Tian Long Taosim considered their previous affection, he would not be able to live in peace from now on.

After hearing that, Junior Leopard was suddenly speechless, and then he laughed. “Really? That’s refreshing news. When I’m free, I’d like to visit him and ask him when he will die!”

“This—!”

Lyu Yiyue had not expected that such words would come out from Junior Leopard’s mouth; he did not know what else to say.

“Alright, First Elder, that’s it. For such a loathsome guy, I won’t invite him to stay. If you don’t carry him away, he will die on the prairie!”

“Well, it is what it is now. I will follow your orders. You, young people, are too impulsive!” Lyu Yiyue sighed, picked up Lin Xiaoqing from the ground, carried him on the shoulder and strode away without calling on Wu Yulong.

Seeing the situation, Wu Yulong kept pace with him silently and dared not to look at Junior Leopard; his eyes indicated a touch of added resentment when he was watching Lyu Yiyue’s back.

Junior Leopard caught sight of all of this, but he did not point it out bluntly and instead he just smiled.

After the two had walked far away, Junior Leopard sent Jiang Xiao and the other people away.

After all the people had left, Junior Leopard danced in his robe sleeves. A layer of light and invisible mist instantly covered the small yard.

It was the Yin and Yang Dust Formation!

Junior Leopard had not understood the peerless formation. However, through his long research, he could now easily display a magic matrix which could be pervasive in his yard.

Displaying the formation, he turned around slightly and looked at the debris in the room, and said with a laugh, “Chief Wang, they’ve already left. Don’t hide. Come out!”

“Interesting. How did you find me?” A hoarse voice came from behind the wall. Then, Wang She’s figure moved from the shadow with a curious face. “I used the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill!”

“Indeed, you just used the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, but your position was wrong. Your shadow was reflected.”

Junior Leopard, pointing at a corner, said, “You’re careless. It’s not your style!”

“Even if my shadow was mirrored, how could you be sure it was me?”

“That’s easy. Who else could be able to imperceptibly walk into my room except you, Chief Wang, who else has grasped the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill?”

“You’re really confident. Experts in this world are as many as the hairs on an ox. There are countless people who could sneak up on you!”

“Maybe, but I know that only you can do that, so I guessed!” Junior Leopard said with a laugh. “Your Excellency the Chief you have come to my cold and poor place in the northwest. Do you intend to persuade me to participate in that lousy World Hero Competition held by Lao Shizi?”

“Yes, that’s my purpose, but I don’t mean to persuade you. Instead, I’d like to give you a thrashing so that you can’t participate in it!” Wang She said with a smile. “I just didn’t expect that your temper would be so fierce. You don’t respect our Tian Long Taoism at all. Now, I have a reason to beat you up!”

“You have a reason to give me a blow, but I am not in the mood to strike back. I’m just a little bit curious why the four well-known families, Wang, Chen, Lin and Yang, and you Tian Long Taoism are trying to make trouble for me? You are all crazy.”

“They’re not crazy. This thing is so serious that it touched some people’s nerves. That’s why it happened!” Wang She gave a wry smile and said, “Although I’m one of the top three Chiefs of the Tian Long Taoism, I’ve not been involved in the Tian Long Taoism matters recently because of my injury. Besides, the Tian Long Taoism is a big household in which influences interweave. As a Chief, I seem to have great authority, but I cannot control some people!”

“For example, this Elder Lin?”

“Lin Xiaoqing is from the Lins, so he has some influence in the Tian Long Taoism. He doesn’t get on well with me, so he’s not under my control!”

“How about your disciple? How can you be his partner?”

“This disciple is a street-wise person!” When it came to Wu Yulong, Wang She’s face became displeased. He smiled sullenly and changed the topic. “As for you, you were also slick. What’s wrong with you today? So valiant. You punched Lin Xiaoqing and he spurts blood. What on earth do you expect? Don’t you think that I can help you with this thing?”

“Can you help me?”

“If you hadn’t hurt Lin Xiaoqing as badly as you did, this could have been the past. Now, you bunged him up. It greatly injures the Tian Long Taoism’s dignity. The old man won’t let it go. You will probably implicate me in it!”

“It’s not that serious, is it?”

“Not serious? The old man was nice, but he always puts the Tian Long Taoism’s profit first. You brutally hurt the Tian Long Taoism’s Elder, so you won’t get past him!”

“I don’t think so!” Junior Leopard said, laughing. “You’re the Tian Long Taoism’s Chief. Except for the Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill, you’ve also practiced other cultivation methods?!”

“I mainly practiced the Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill. No other cultivation methods. Why did you ask that?”

It was an unexpected question and even impolite, so Wang She paused, eyeing Junior Leopard questioningly.

“About the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique, even if you didn’t practice it, I suppose you’ve heard of it?”

“Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique?” Wang She’s eyes were frozen. “Oh, boy, this is the unique cultivation method that the Tian Long Taoism’s Leader is entitled to practice. Others don’t know of it. How did you know?”

“I not only know that you have the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique, I also know the General Program of your Tian Long Taoism’s Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique is lost!”

Wang She jerked his lips and saw that Junior Leopard’s eyes were kindled with a weird and seductive light. “Don’t tell me that the General Program is in your hands?”

“You deserve to be the Tian Long Taoism’s Chief. You’re much cleverer than common people. You’re right. The General Program is in my possession now. I was entrusted by someone to give it back to the Tian Long Taoism, but I haven’t got an opportunity!
