The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

"Very successful," Qing Yu noted with an even wider smirk, feeling the Sword Qi coursing through Yun Zheng's body.

Yun Zheng believed that the Sword Qi was accidentally cultivated by himself, a result of fortunate blunders.

But in this world, there were not so many fortunate blunders, nor was everyone the protagonist of a novel. The Sword Qi was fully infused into him by Qing Yu.

The Sword Qi would, following the flow of Yun Zheng's Pure Yang True Qi, steal his cultivation technique. Moreover, the True Qi that Qing Yu had transmitted into Yun Zheng's body would also infiltrate his Hidden Meridian, subtly guiding his mind in the shadows and planting the Demon Seed.

This was a new type of control method, combining the Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Method, Black Heaven Book, and Ten Thousand Paths, which Qing Yu called "Demon Seed·Revised."

Cough cough... The name might be a bit lame, but that's because Qing Yu has never been good at naming.

However, the effect was anything but lame. The Demon Seed would imperceptibly influence Yun Zheng's mental state, drawing his Mental State to align with Qing Yu's until ultimately, he became a qualified tool.

Of course, a tool at the Divine Origin Realm would not meet Qing Yu's expectations. If he could not even overpower his senior brothers, Yun Zheng would not be of much use.

Therefore, Qing Yu infused him with a strand of Xuanyin Sword Energy.

This Xuanyin Sword Energy had been refined and fully controlled by Qing Yu. It would work in concert with Yun Zheng's Pure Yang True Qi, harmonizing yin and yang to apprehend the mysteries of Pure Yang, and incidentally bestow upon Yun Zheng the power he so craved.

Even though it was just a single strand, it was enough to ensure he could outmatch his senior brothers.

After all, Yun Zheng was not like Qing Yu, who mainly controlled and refined Sword Qi. Yun Zheng would fully integrate with the Sword Qi, transforming his Sword Body.

This tool would become a new Xuanyin Host, a sword in Qing Yu's hands.

After all, as the Hidden Mirror Man, he could hardly be expected to handle everything personally.

In the past, with the Azure Dragon Association's countless expendable forces, ten Demon Blade Guards combined could even take on a Divine Origin Realm warrior. If twenty Demon Blade Guards used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique in a suicide attack, then even a master within the Divine Origin Realm would struggle to escape unscathed.

But now, the Demon Blade Guard was falling behind. Qing Yu's main adversaries were those at the True Pill Realm. Against the experts of the True Pill Realm, more Demon Blade Guards would merely amount to cannon fodder.

This was also why Qing Yu had not let the Blood Robe Building take action to aid him against his enemies.

However, now things were a bit different. Once Yun Zheng was fully transformed, Qing Yu would have an additional viable force.

He could also use Yun Zheng to cultivate the Xuanyin Sword Energy further and quietly probe the mysteries of the "Heavenly Escape Sword Technique."

Later, when Yun Zheng assumed the position of Pure Yang Palace Master, the entire Pure Yang Palace would belong to Qing Yu.

With a contented smile, Qing Yu quietly left the courtyard of the Pure Yang Palace and returned to his temporary residence.

But just as he silently entered the courtyard, a sudden alertness surged in his heart.

"Who is it?"

With a sudden shout, Qing Yu's Qi surged through his palms, an immense force bearing down as though invisible attacks struck the buildings, instantly causing them to collapse.

"Boom—"

Primordial Energy exploded, the blast wave toppled the courtyard walls, and swiftly spread outwards.

With one move, he unleashed his full strength, absorbing Primordial Energy and Earth Essence Qi to execute an overwhelmingly powerful strike.

At the same time, his cry and the shock wave attracted the attention of others from the Three Taoist Sects in the same area.

He reacted this way because the person hidden inside was too strong.

Had Qing Yu's perception not far surpassed that of ordinary people, even those at the peak of the True Pill Realm would have struggled to match it, he might have been confusedly lured into the house, only to be ambushed with ease.

"Boom—"

Another explosion sounded as the concealed attacker forcefully shattered Qing Yu's technique, a Yin Yang Qi Vortex intertwined and struck fiercely.

This was undoubtedly Divine Communication.

If before there were speculations, now there was tangible proof.

There was no time to think further, Qing Yu's form vanished, blending with the light and dust, harmonizing with heaven and earth in a rapid retreat.

However, the attacker, being powerful enough to strike, would surely have anticipated the signature trick of the Supreme Taoist Sect.

The Yin Yang Qi Vortex stirred the winds and clouds, the powerful Qi Force forcibly severed Qing Yu's connection with heaven and earth, and just as he left the courtyard, his figure was revealed.

The Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture of the Supreme Taoist Sect was indeed mystical and unparalleled in the world, even deserving the title of "The World's First Divine Skill," but this did not mean the barriers between True Pill and Divine Communication realms could simply be erased.

Especially since Qing Yu was merely imitating the Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture.

A crisis, an absolute crisis. What Qing Yu faced now was a prepared strike from a warrior of the Divinity Realm, not the spontaneously flying Qi Sword from Xiao Qianxiu before.

That time, Qing Yu used the three True Pill Realm Sword Masters from Yu Jian Manor as shields to block the Qi Sword for a moment before he dissipated his presence and escaped underground. But now, he was genuinely facing a strike of Divine Communication.

"Block it for me!"

A crazed light burst in Qing Yu's eyes as his left arm emitted a sinister dark green glow, seven Sword Qi streaking crisscross, slicing through the Yin Yang Qi Vortex.

Xuanyin Sword Energy confronted the Yin Yang Qi Vortex head-on, unleashing its full power to slice into the vortex, and with Qing Yu's understanding of the Way of Yin and Yang, he enhanced the Yin Energy to disrupt the equilibrium, detonating the Vortex.

"Boom—"

The shockwave from the explosion blasted Qing Yu away, his deep purple figure smashing into a flower bed not far away.

"Huh?"

The concealed Divine Communication warrior let out a light sound of surprise but didn't have time to concern himself with Qing Yu's fate, as other Divine Communication warriors from the other Three Taoist Sects nearby had arrived.

He had only had the time for that one strike, and regardless of whether or not he had managed to kill the Supreme Daoist, he needed to leave immediately. Otherwise, he would face a joint attack from several Divine Communication warriors.

Within the engulfing dust, the attacker's silhouette stealthily vanished without a trace.

Several figures exuding formidable auras rushed into the dust, a burst of wind dispersing it, but the attacker was nowhere to be seen, leaving only ruins.

"Who was it?"

Zhang Yuanchu was on high alert, scanning his surroundings, but then suddenly turned to look towards the Zhenwu Sect Leader Xuan Chen and Tong Ming, one of the Zhenwu Three Elders, coming from another direction.

"Yin Yang True Qi, Taoist Mysterious Skill, Xuan Chen, what are you up to?!"

Not long after the Divine Communication warrior released the Yin Yang Qi Vortex, the area was still saturated with Qi Mechanisms, and Zhang Yuanchu could easily recognize their origin.

"Is Zhenwu Sect trying to assassinate the Supreme Daoist?"

Even Zhang Yuanchu, who was inwardly discontent with the Supreme Taoist Sect, was shocked by the recent event. Even though the Supreme Daoist had thwarted his plans, Zhang Yuanchu had never considered ambushing him, not even deliberate difficulties.

At the root of it was apprehension, fear of the Supreme Taoist.

But now, someone had dared to directly attack, and it was an unashamed, stealthy assault from a warrior of the Divinity Realm.

"This act was not committed by our Zhenwu Sect." Xuan Chen firmly stated, "The most urgent matter is to save the Daoist. Otherwise, both you and I would find it difficult to escape accountability from the Supreme Taoist."
