The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

"Who dares to ambush a grassland warrior?"

Blade energy cuts through water, fierce Sword Intent tears across the sky, furiously slashing at the enemy above.

"Divinity Realm, truly tough-skinned."

Qing Yu moved his palms in a fluid motion, the Tai Chi Diagram spinning to meet the challenge.

Taiji Return.

Swallowing the Blade Energy, rebounding the Sword Gang. The Sword Intent spilled out, leaving countless deep cuts in the surroundings.

"Northern Zhou's Demon Path, it's you."

He Fengsa's vision cleared and he recognized the figure shimmering with golden light, feeling a shock in his heart, "You've actually made a breakthrough!"

The grassland people have long coveted Northern Zhou, planting countless spies within. Although the majority of spies were merely active in the marketplace, they were quite familiar with Northern Zhou's Qing Yu, the Demon Path.

This Demon Path was said to be Emperor Zhou's most trusted adviser, and was behind every major affair of Northern Zhou.

The Hidden Dragon in Feiyun Pass was also constructed under the orders of Qing Yu. The Demon Path's influence in Northern Zhou could be said to surpass that of all the court officials and warriors.

But when had this Demon Path ascended to God Realm?

Wasn't it said that he had been lingering in the True Pill Realm? He even needed the aid of the Heavenly Giant Statue to suppress Yi Qianshan's rebellion. Yet now, he had already broken through.

He Fengsa felt as if ten thousand long-neck sheep from the Northwest Plateau were stampeding through his heart. Yet upon reflection, he felt great joy.

If he could capture the Demon Path alive, he could extract the method of constructing Hidden Dragon from him and fully grasp the details of Northern Zhou. Truly, Eternal Heaven was aiding me, He Fengsa!

Naturally, He Fengsa would not underestimate himself, believing he could capture Qing Yu, who had only recently broken through. His hands gripped the sword, the Bone Knife erupting with a savage blade light.

"Nu Mountain Break."

Sword Gang surged more than twofold, breaking through the Tai Chi Diagram, only to be clamped between a pair of golden palms.

On Qing Yu's hands, countless Buddhist scriptures flowed, the Golden Bell Shield bestowing an unbreakable body, contending with the Sword Gang, and sparking numerous dazzling golden sparks.

Suddenly, Qing Yu twisted his hands, generating strong yet pliant power, employing Arhat Unloading in concert with the Tai Chi Diagram, turning the Sword Gang and carving deep marks on the rock wall above.

Then, in Qing Yu's palms, flames emerged, carrying the might of burning all things, bearing down oppressively.

Bodhisattva Destruction.

"Boom boom boom—"

Fire Power clashed with the obstructing Bone Knife. He Fengsa's Bone Knife was no ordinary object; it remained unscathed amidst the intense scorching Fire Power. Blade Energy rose again, slicing through the flames.

The murky waters around were all evaporated by the Fire Power, cleaved by the Blade Energy into countless blocks of mist.

Qing Yu and He Fengsa were blown backwards by the blast wave, one above the other, flying outwards, leaving deep scrapes on the rock wall above and on the dark river bed below.

"Demon Path, surrender graciously."

He Fengsa's feet plowed two long tracks into the ground mixed with dirt and skeletons, his Bone Knife held across his body, the savage aura undiminished.

'The skin of the grassland people is indeed tough.'

Qing Yu pushed back against his retreat with a palm strike and hovered in the air, pondering.

The grassland was a world where the strong preyed upon the weak; not every grassland warrior had formidable attack power, but their skin was certainly thick. Fragile fellows hardly survived on the grassland. Even the Shamans, proficient in Abnormal Skills, possessed formidable bodies.

"Unfortunately, I can't achieve body-spirit integration with this body, which means I can't progress to the 'Heavenly Gang Qi Decision' within the Heaven and Earth Supreme Skill," Qing Yu lamented. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a stalemate."

Ironically, despite having been in this original body for only a few days, Qing Yu's Primordial Spirit had already begun to feel alienated from it. Since Qing Yu's Primordial Spirit had nearly fully merged with the Saint and Demon Embryo, his vision had changed; naturally, he could no longer integrate with his original body to cultivate the 'Heavenly Gang Qi Decision.'

Nonetheless, Qing Yu wasn't without significant strength.

With thunder and lightning arising beneath his feet, Qing Yu shot towards He Fengsa at a speed surpassing wind and thunder.

Thunder God Illness.

The flashing lightning made the air reek with an odor of char. In an instant, Qing Yu traversed the stretch of space and closed in on He Fengsa.

"Do you have a death wish?!" He Fengsa couldn't help but bare a ferocious grin, his eyes brimming with excitement.

In hand-to-hand combat, he, He Fengsa, believed himself to be second to none. The wrestling techniques of the grassland people might appear crude and clumsy, but they could fully exert the body's strength within those bumbling motions.

He Fengsa twisted his arm horizontally and grasped the glittering arm, firmly restraining Qing Yu.

"You're as good as dead..."

A pair of sinister eyes met another pair that flickered with a cold light, and momentarily, they faltered.

Holy Heart Four Tribulations·Shocking Eye Tribulation.

Qing Yu had started cultivating his eye technique from the Innate Realm. Coupled with the Void Eye and the Heavenly Son's Qi Observation Skill, his deployment of the Shocking Eye Tribulation was nothing like Emperor Shitian's skill meant merely for tormenting the weak.

In terms of mental strength, Qing Yu, with his Three Souls, was not inferior to anyone. The special connection with the Saint and Demon Embryo allowed the other two souls, residing within the Northern Zhou underground palace, to transmit power across the void. With the strength of the Three Souls, he suppressed He Fengsa.

He Fengsa's momentum was suppressed by Qing Yu, and simultaneously, his heart began to beat wildly, causing waves of excruciating pain.

Tough as he was, He Fengsa's internal organ strength couldn't match Qing Yu's, who had mastered the Gold Bell Shield Twelve Levels.

"You..."

Stirred by the heartache, He Fengsa's viciousness erupted even further as he yelled, "Die!"

Essence blood flared up as the Bone Knife slashed towards Qing Yu's waist, cleaving him in two.

However, when the body split, not a drop of blood spilled. Instead, it dispersed into mist and rapidly vanished.

Qing Yu's increasingly blurred face broke into a wide smile just before it fully dissipated into the mist, heading towards He Fengsa's back.

Seven Absolute Desolate.

This martial art could be said to be Emperor Shitian's most mystical Divine Skill, even more so than the Sacred Heart Technique. It was only because Qing Yu had gained all of Emperor Shitian's insights that he was able to master it in such a short time.

The mist behind He Fengsa condensed back into a solid form where Qing Yu, with a flick of his sword finger, projected a tiny dark swordblade at the tip of his finger.

"You won't escape!" He Fengsa exerted force under his feet, attempting to dash forward.

A horizontal slash from behind or a turning counterstrike was not within He Fengsa's choice of actions. The experienced grassland Divine Communication knew that agility was not his forte; if there was a True Core Realm martial artist behind him, he could strike back without any reservations, but if it were a Divinity, it would be better to increase the distance before turning to dodge.

Although not particularly nimble, He Fengsa was still very confident in his explosive power.

Furthermore, sensing the immense threat, He Fengsa made a split-second decision to burn his essence blood for a surge in power.

"No, you won't!"

The golden figure was engulfed by thick darkness, at once appearing like an Evil Ghost from hell. The oppressive dark energy made He Fengsa feel an even greater threat behind him. He stomped down, his toes drilling deep into the ground.

But just as he was about to take off, he abruptly froze for a moment.

By modern measurements of time, He Fengsa, no, everything around him had come to a halt for 0.1 seconds.
