The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 859: Chapter 854: A Palm Stirs the Winds and Clouds (Third Update!)

Above Broken Bridge Ridge, billowing black clouds churned.

A mighty aura shot straight into the sky.

And following that thunderous sound, a terrifying, earth-shattering pressure swept forth.

All around Broken Bridge Ridge, gusts of wind rose out of nowhere.

The fearsome pressure made Zhou Zhenjun, Cheen Haotian, Xiao Changkong, and others below change expressions slightly, their bodies swayed, almost losing balance.

And many of the younger generation, quite a few were so frightened by this terrifying pressure that they stumbled and fell to the ground, hearts pounding with fear.

”Has Holy Master Hong Qi broken through?”

”Such pressure, unleashed inadvertently during cultivation, can only be achieved by a supreme power stepping into the Golden Core Middle Stage, right?”

Many present couldn’t help but quietly marvel, their faces filled with both yearning and reverence.

But.

No one noticed Lin Tian, sitting cross-legged in the corner, unfazed by this pressure, like a gentle breeze brushing his face. He sat there motionless.

Deep within Broken Bridge Ridge.

Hei Xiaobai and Yun Gu, sitting by the cave entrance, as the rolling pressure emanated from within the cave, all of them abruptly stood up, faces full of shock and fear.

But soon, they showed expressions of wild joy.

”The Holy Master has broken through! My heavens, the Yin Soul Vein under Broken Bridge Ridge is far stronger than those Xuanyin Bodies!”

Hei Xiaobai looked at the swaying great formation on the ridge and the sweeping pressure, his face full of awe and delight, ”Although the Yin Soul Vein is only half a meter in size, even if they gathered Xuanyin Body girls, it wouldn’t be much stronger than this Yin Soul Vein!”

”Indeed! It’s a Heaven and Earth Yin Vein that the Holy Master searched for a long time. Now, it finally allows his elder self to advance further with the Holy Gu Secret Technique!”

Great Elder Yun Gu stroked his long beard with his withered hand and nodded, ”Now, the Holy Master has achieved supremacy, unifying the Southwest and the Southern Continent, and no one can stop him! Of course, the Xuanyin Body still needs to be collected. By then, the Holy Master can use it to enhance his cultivation. If lucky, he might step into the Golden Core Late Stage and achieve the Heavenly Venerate! Then, even if a strong Central Continent expert descends, our Holy Sect will fear nothing!”

”Hahahaha... indeed, indeed! Now my cultivation has advanced further, transforming into a Flawless Golden Core, unifying the Southern Continent will be effortless!”

As they finished speaking, a burst of wild laughter suddenly came from the cave. Then a tall man in a dark robe stepped out.

The man had a square face, tall and upright stature, eyebrows like lying silkworms, eyes like stars, brilliant as a rainbow, making it difficult for people to look directly at him.

He walked towards Hei Xiaobai, Yun Gu, and others. With every move, there seemed to be supreme pressure flowing, making them filled with fear, bowing their heads in submission.

This man was none other than the Holy Master of the Holy Gu Sect — Hong Qi!

”Congratulations to the Holy Master on mastering the supreme Secret Technique, transforming into a Flawless Golden Core, and stepping into the position of supremacy!”

The Great Elder of the Holy Gu Sect, Yun Gu, along with the Black and White Saint Envoys, Hei Xiaobai, and the three Great Protectors, all bowed in unison, offering their congratulations.

”Indeed, this time I was able to step into the Golden Core Middle Stage, you are the greatest contributors!”

Hong Qi nodded in satisfaction, but then his brow furrowed as his gaze fell upon Gu JianCheen, who was still convulsing on the ground, ”What’s the matter with the Ancient Saint Envoy?”

”Holy Master, Jianjian was thrown in from outside by someone, we don’t know which powerful figure descended! To defeat him, it would at least require a Fake Core Realm presence!”

Hei Xiaobai bowed respectfully, ”It’s very likely that Zhou Zhenjun and those people have come to attack. We don’t know what happened with Cheen Haotian and Zhong Xiangdi outside; previously, because you had reached a critical breakthrough moment, we dared not withdraw the formation to go out, only waiting until now. Holy Master, please take charge for him!”

Hong Qi’s expression darkened slightly as he stepped forward, his vast Divine Sense enveloping Gu JianCheen, then stretched out a hand to send a surge of True Qi into Gu JianCheen’s body.

After a while.

His expression gradually became solemn.

”I don’t know which powerful figure has descended! This technique is not something Zhou Zhenjun could accomplish!”

Hong Qi stated with a sullen face, ”He was hit by... a Soul Attack Skill!”

”What! A Soul Attack Skill! Such a secret technique, isn’t it extraordinarily rare in the cultivation world now? Could another Golden Core cultivator have arrived?”

Great Elder Yun Gu and the others’ faces changed dramatically, all exclaiming in shock.

”It’s hard to say! Perhaps the opponent was merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage. If possessing such a Soul Attack Skill, even the Ancient Saint Envoy couldn’t resist, and caught off guard, he would’ve certainly fallen for it!”

Hong Qi slightly furrowed his brows, shaking his head, ”The Ancient Saint Envoy suffered a soul attack, his Divine Soul damaged, and I have no way to unravel it. Now, let’s first go out and see what’s going on. Even if a Golden Core cultivator has come, I am not afraid!”

Buzz~

Above Broken Bridge Ridge, a rumbling occurred once more, and the formation was withdrawn, the rolling black fog gradually dissipating.

Hong Qi led Yun Gu and others, stepping down.

”Greetings, Holy Master!”

Below Broken Bridge Ridge, cultivators from the two major sects, along with the Ning Family, Yan Family, and others, all bowed and shouted.

”Hmm! Very good!”

Because Gu JianCheen was severely injured, Hong Qi’s original joy at breaking through the Golden Core was considerably dampened, and now his face remained sullen.

As people straightened up to look, seeing Hong Qi’s stern expression, they couldn’t help but feel a slight shudder inside.

But thinking of a dignified Golden Core cultivator, naturally possessing their own majesty, many instantly felt relieved.

”Is this the legendary Golden Core Ancestor?”

Among those present, many gazed intently at Hong Qi, eyes filled with reverence, secretly yearning and in awe.

”Yanxin, did you see? This is the demeanor of a great figure, every move makes many submit!”

Mu Danfeng glanced at Hong Qi, reprimanding Yan Yanxin beside him in a low voice, ”Your cousin Chang Kong, will one day reach this level. Don’t be stubborn with that guy!”

Opposite.

Hong Qi after seeing such reverence from them all was very satisfied, but then he scanned around with a frown.

He shifted his gaze to Lin Tian sitting still, then took it back.

Just an ordinary person without any cultivation.

”Now, Zhou Zhenjun, do you choose to submit to me, or choose death?”

”Hahaha, Hong Qi, don’t be dreaming!”

Upon seeing Hong Qi appear, Zhou Zhenjun’s face was already somewhat frightened, but he gritted his teeth and remained defiant.

Bang~

Hong Qi’s face turned cold, then immediately he raised his hand, pressed towards the void, and sent a palm strike towards Zhou Zhenjun with a rumble, getting half him heavily injured, unable to rise.

With a single palm from afar, wind and clouds surged, and a dignified cultivator was unable to get up due to severe injuries.

”Is this the might of the Golden Core Ancestor?”

All others present were involuntarily horrified, their faces showing even deeper reverence.

”This is the ultimate secret technique that the Holy Master has mastered, transforming into a Flawless Golden Core, stepping into the supreme position!”

The Great Elder of the Holy Gu Sect, Yun Gu, and the Black and White Saint Envoy Hei Xiaobai, along with the three Great Protectors, collectively bowed and offered their congratulations.

”Indeed, with this I can step into the Golden Core Middle Stage, and you are the greatest contributors!”

Hong Qi nodded contentedly, but then his brow furrowed as his gaze fixed on Gu JianCheen still twitching helplessly on the ground. ”What happened to the Ancient Saint Envoy?”

”Holy Master, it was a sword that was thrown in from outside, we don’t know which mighty figure came! Whoever defeated him is at least at the Fake Core Realm!”

Hei Xiaobai bowed and said respectfully: ”It is very likely that Zhou Zhenjun and those people killed their way over here. We just don’t know what’s going on with Cheen Haotian and Zhong Xiangdi outside. Earlier, since you were at a critical breakthrough moment, we didn’t dare to withdraw the array and go out, only now we can wait. Holy Master, you must uphold justice for him!”

Hong Qi’s face darkened slightly, he stepped forward, his enormous Divine Sense covered Gu JianCheen, then he reached out his hand to send a flow of True Qi into Gu JianCheen’s body.

After a moment.

His expression grew increasingly grave.

”Who knows which mighty expert came! This method is not something Zhou Zhenjun could do!”

Hong Qi said in a deep voice, ”He’s been hit with... a Soul Attack Skill!”

”What! A Soul Attack Skill! Such a Secret Technique is very rare in the Cultivation World, isn’t it? Could it be another Golden Core Cultivator has arrived!”

Great Elder Yun Gu and others’ faces changed dramatically, all exclaiming in shock.

”Those, it’s hard to say! Perhaps the opponent is merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage. If they possess such a Soul Battle Technique, even the Ancient Saint Envoy would be unable to withstand it!”

Hong Qi kept calm, said in a cold voice, ”His Divine Soul is damaged by a soul attack, and I have no way to unravel it. Now let us go out and see the situation. Even if a Golden Core cultivator has come, I’m not to be feared!”

Buzz~

With another rumble, the thick black mist on top of the Broken Bridge Ridge slowly dissipated as the array formation was withdrawn.

Hong Qi led Yun Gu, Hei Xiaobai, and other sect members, stepping down.

”Greetings, Holy Master!”

People from the sect, and from the Ning Family, Yan Family, etc., all bowed in unison and called out.

”Hmm! Very good, very well! Now, with my cultivation advancing further by transforming into a Flawless Golden Core, unifying the Southern Continent will be effortless!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenjun’s expression became even more tense, but he still bit the bullet and did not bow.

”Hong Qi, your Holy Gu Sect holds sway over the Southwest, yet now you’re not satisfied, reaching into my Yelang Cultivation Domain!”

Hong Qi stood with hands behind his back, his garments fluttering, invisible pressure emanating from him.

He stared straight at Zhou Zhenjun, who was forced to bend his head in submission, ”I give you one last chance!”

However, at this time.

Lin Tian slightly shook his head, stood up, and rose to his full height from where he had been sitting in the corner.
