Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

164: Among the true gods I have ever seen, you are the best!A gentle voice echoed in his ears, making him feel as if he was bathed in a spring breeze, but at this moment, Long Daosheng’s neck was already covered in cold sweat.

Because everything around him had fallen silent, Long Wenliang’s raised arm hung in mid-air, the smile on his face unmoving, and even the slightest sound of wind disappeared; he could only hear his own heartbeat.

”No need to be nervous, I was just passing by and wanted to see the place Qin Jiang stayed,” said the man in the red and white king’s robe, a gentle smile on his face.

”Your Excellency is...?” Long Daosheng asked nervously.

This person’s strength was too great! He couldn’t even resist!

With such strength, even if the Sect Leader of Changshou himself came, he might not be his opponent!

The man in the king’s robe chuckled, ”You don’t recognize me? That’s right, your strength is a bit lacking.”

Thump.

A crisp sound of footsteps echoed, and a figure suddenly appeared, his eyes gleaming with cold light.

”King Huai,” Qin Jiang said, like the tranquility before a volcanic eruption.

King Huai looked at him with a hint of surprise, ”To be able to enter my sealed space, it seems your control over spatial power has also reached its Peak.”

Qin Jiang did not speak, merely watched King Huai quietly.

”Where is Fushan?” King Huai asked.

”He’s dead.”

King Huai fell silent upon hearing this, lowering his eyes with a hint of regret.

After a few breaths, he slightly raised his gaze, ”So, you’ve come to kill me?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he chuckled and shook his head, ”You can’t kill me.”

Qin Jiang did not refute, but nodded slightly, ”Let’s fight outside the heavens.”

With that, the surroundings fell silent for a moment, and the figures of the two disappeared, the congealed space flowing once more.

”Big Brother, what are you thinking about?” Long Wenliang asked, completely unaware of what had just happened; to him, that was non-existent time.

Long Daosheng sat down, looking at the sky in silence.

Long Wenliang felt something was wrong and was a little worried if his Big Brother had become foolish from his mortal experience.

”Big Brother, you have already condensed your Martial Destiny; you don’t need to return to being mortal anymore.”

”Just now, King Huai came,” Long Daosheng said.

???

Long Wenliang’s jaw uncontrollably dropped forward, ”King Huai? Which King Huai?”

His eyes were shocked, but he clearly still didn’t quite dare to believe that the King Huai his Big Brother spoke of was the one he was thinking of.

”It’s the one you’re thinking of,” Long Daosheng said.

Gasp—!

”The leader of the Huai King Manor?! A True God-level existence! How could he come here! Our Xia Country’s territory is covered by the Immortal Artifact of the Imperial Capital; if that King Huai entered Xia Country, he would definitely be discovered!”

Long Wenliang couldn’t believe it. If King Huai could enter Xia Country, did that mean there was a problem with the Imperial Capital’s Immortal Artifact?

If there was a problem with the Immortal Artifact, didn’t that mean there was a problem with the Immortal Ancestor?!

This, this, this, what should be done!

”No, he came here and didn’t slaughter the city?” Long Wenliang asked. It was just a matter of convenience; it shouldn’t be difficult for a True God, right?

”Junior Brother came and went with him to fight outside the heavens,” Long Daosheng said, his gaze fixed upwards, though he couldn’t actually see anything.

”Junior Brother?! Qin Jiang?! He and King Huai fought outside the heavens?!” Long Wenliang exclaimed.

This was ten times more shocking than hearing that King Huai had entered Xia Country!

In his understanding, Qin Jiang should still be learning Divine Martial in the Longevity Sect at this time.

He couldn’t possibly appear here, let alone fight King Huai outside the heavens!

King Huai! That was King Huai! A True God-level super expert! The actual manipulator behind Huai Country’s invasion of Xia Country!

Long Daosheng nodded slightly, ”Yes.”

Long Wenliang’s eyes flickered, then he slumped down somewhat dejectedly, silently picking up his food, ”Eat quickly, it’s getting cold.”

High in the sky, two divine lights, one gold and one white, soared higher, and soon they had already crossed 100,000 meters, piercing through the clouds, and even the surrounding air turned slightly white, extremely cold.

The two stood facing each other, King Huai chuckled with a hint of regret, ”I didn’t expect our first meeting to be in this manner.”

Qin Jiang did not speak, he raised an arm, and a few seconds later, a battle halberd cut through the sky and landed in his hand.

”The Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd? Interesting, truly interesting. You have actually cultivated both Divine Martial arts to the ninth level,” King Huai praised with a smile.

He really couldn’t understand what kind of constitution this person in front of him possessed?

Although he had the combat power of a Secret Martial Artist rivaling a Divine Warrior when he was in Ningan, he was ultimately not a Divine Warrior.

In fact, he had once thought that Qin Jiang might possess the combat power to contend with a True God at the Divine Warrior Realm.

But he had never imagined that Qin Jiang would actually reach the True God level in his Realm itself.

Nothing else, this was a bit beyond common sense.

Even a Secret Martial Artist contending with a Divine Warrior, or a Divine Warrior contending with a True God, while such things were somewhat outrageous, he could still somewhat understand them, believing that in this vast world, there would always be someone who could achieve it.

But a Secret Martial Artist, in just over a month, became a True God. And a True God who controlled spatial power to its Peak—

This truly exceeded his understanding.

No matter how high your Comprehension Ability, high enough to break through the sky, you would still need to spend some time accumulating the energy required to Break through to True God, right?

A Genius like him, when he broke through to True God back then, it also took him nearly twenty years to fully prepare.

”Stop talking nonsense. Today, we’ll decide who is superior and who lives or dies,” Qin Jiang said.

What King Huai had done, whether it was killing his way into the Prefecture before, or personally coming to Ningan this time, had already touched his bottom line.

He could not allow a hostile factor that could destroy his loved ones at any time to live in this world.

King Huai laughed heartily upon hearing this, and with a swipe from his waist, he drew a long saber from the Void Realm.

”Good, good, good! Come! Let me see how many surprises you, with two ninth-level Divine Martial arts, can bring me!”

With that, he charged forward fiercely, his powerful force shaking the space with each step, yet with extreme control over space and his own power, the space did not shatter.

This would make his speed a fraction faster than if he were shattering space!

Don’t underestimate this fraction; in a Peak battle, a fraction of a difference can be enough to sway the outcome at a critical moment!

Qin Jiang wielded his battle halberd, and where its edge passed, transparent spatial ripples emanated, likewise without any spatial cracks appearing.

Clang!

The blade clashed with the long handle of the battle halberd; his arms bulged with veins as he suddenly exerted force.

King Huai’s figure flew backward, and he couldn’t help but laugh aloud: ”Haha! As expected of someone who can kill Fushan! Among the True Gods I have seen, you are truly the best!”

Behind him, a red and white divine shadow emerged, as if tangible, carrying endless Divine Might.

Qin Jiang finally smiled, ”Indeed, you have also reached the True God Peak.”

With that, a golden human figure also appeared behind him.

Across from him, King Huai’s hand gripping the saber hilt involuntarily tightened, ”True Spirit materialization, you are also at the True God Peak, truly surprising! Haha!”

The red and white figure merged with him, and then he thrust his body forward, arriving in front of Qin Jiang in the next instant, striking down with a saber!

Qin Jiang parried with his halberd, the True Spirit light and shadow behind him flickered, instantly merging into his body, and golden light appeared on his skin.

He spun violently, bringing the battle halberd in a circle, and smashed it fiercely towards the saber’s edge!

Boom—!

A violent explosion echoed through the sky, and even the clouds below were dispersed, forming a circular hole.

King Huai’s figure retreated; in terms of brute strength, he was indeed no match for Qin Jiang.

Thump, thump, thump!

Taking three rapid steps, he shook the space, compressing the eardrums, Qin Jiang pursued through the air, gripping the rear of the battle halberd’s long handle with one hand, and delivered a powerful vertical chop, heavy and forceful, cutting a fine black line in the space.
