Chapter 343: Chapter 280: Heavenly Rank Powerhouse

Translator: 549690339

Pushi!

A sword qi pierced through Li Tiange’s body.

With the strength of Pei Xuanjing, this sword qi of his, even at the peak of Li Tiange’s powers, would likely be difficult to resist, let alone now that he was seriously injured and devoid of all power to fight back.

Therefore, when Pei Xuanjing’s sword qi pierced through, his breath ceased immediately, he was dead beyond any doubt, without any signs of life.

Li Tiange is dead!

Li Tiange, who was regarded as a major enemy by countless of his contemporaries in the dynasty, died just like that, dying quietly in this grassland, with only Pei Xuanjing and his Taoists witnessing it.

When such news comes out, it will not be as simple as shocking the world, if handled improperly, it might lead to the resurgence of a war between the two parties.

Even Mr. Pei Laozhu, who harbors intense hatred towards Da Li, only mentioned defeating Li Tiange when he initially ordered Pei Xuanjing to take action, not to kill him.

Because seeds of this heavenly rank are the most precious existence for both parties. They are not to be lightly killed.

[At the age of fifteen: you killed Li Tiange on the Yunzhong grassland.]

[The trajectory of your life begins to change…]

“Ah! You should die!” The white-haired old man was beside himself with anger. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Li Tiange would die here today.

It has to be said that Pei Xuanjing’s strength far exceeds his expectation.

To have such combat power at such a young age is unheard of.

However, Li Tiange had always had a smooth journey, was overbearing, and looked down upon everyone. It could also be seen as a lesson for him to suffer a setback, which should inspire him to be more courageous after feeling disgraced.

But seeing how Pei Xuanjing humiliated Li Tiange was something he couldn’t tolerate, so he tried to stop Pei Xuanjing’s behavior.

But he never thought that the boy in front of him could be so murderous and reckless that he actually killed Li Tiange.

Li Tiange is dead!

The prodigy cultivated by the Da Li dynasty with countless resources just died on the grassland like this, this undoubtedly sent the white-haired old man into a frenzy, while simultaneously sending chills up his spine.

“Die!” The white-haired old man burst out in anger, terrifying momentum erupted from him, his killing intent ice-cold and nothing blocked it at all.

He knew that unless he killed the boy in front of him today, he wouldn’t be able to stand the rage of the National Teacher.

“So it’s a heavenly rank powerhouse!” Pei Xuanjing was not afraid at all when faced with such a terrifying aura from the white-haired old man.

For a heavenly rank powerhouse of this rank being so shameless as to target him, he didn’t care at all.

Originally, according to the tacit understanding of various parties, heavenly rank powerhouses should not easily take action against ordinary martial artists, especially in this kind of competition among peers.

After all, if any powerhouse were allowed to intervene in the conflict of their peers, it would easily result in mutual revenge, making the younger generations feel threatened and thus triggering a war.

However, it can’t be helped that there is no one here who can restrain the other party.

Although Pei Xuanjing was in a youthful body, he never saw himself as a junior or a weak person.

In this world, the only opponents Pei Xuanjing could regard as equals were these heavenly rank powerhouses. So he was not afraid of their attacks, on the contrary, he was eager to test them out.

Perhaps the heavenly rank powerhouses of this world are very strong, but although the heavenly rank powerhouse in front of him could make him feel hesitant, it did not make him feel a threat of death.

So he was somewhat impatient, wanting to see where the gap between him and the heavenly rank powerhouses was, whether it was possible for him to triumph as the weak against the strong.

Boom!

The white-haired old man’s vigorous true qi was released wildly with a punch.

His robe swelled, and countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi followed his punch. The endless forceful wind swept all directions, just like a giant wolf howling up to the sky, rushing towards Pei Xuanjing.

“Sure enough, it is no different from what I anticipated.” Pei Xuanjing watched as the white-haired old man made his move, instantly gaining some insights.

Heavenly rank powerhouses use their own true qi as catalysts to mobilize the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi between heaven and earth. One casual strike can stir up endless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, striking enemies with the force of heaven and earth.

When the strong reach this realm, the depth of the true qi in their bodies is not that important. They care about their connection with heaven and earth.

With every move they make, they can induce the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi for their own use. As long as the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi does not run out, they will hardly ever exhaust themselves.

All these thoughts flashed within the short span of a moment. Pei Xuanjing’s hands did not stop moving. He give a faint smile, slowly raised his hands, and the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi around him moved along.

Then, with a clap of his hands, a thunder dragon suddenly appeared, rolling and tearing towards the opponent with terrifying power.

“You actually…” The white-haired old man looked horrified.

He was more shocked today than in countless years. The young man in front of him had given him too many surprises.

The young man in front of him was slowly mobilizing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. If this were to get out, it would probably drive countless people mad. This is exclusively for heavenly rank powerhouses.

Being able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth in the three stages of martial arts would definitely be of great benefit to breaking through to the heavenly rank in the future.

Pei Xuanjing just smiled and said nothing. His ability to do this was actually not surprising.

Originally, he could operate the natural qi between heaven and earth with his own true qi as a guide. An Gang Qi shield that can both attack and defend could be formed on the exterior of his body, depending on the circumstances.

If cultivated to a high level, it can convert the power of heaven and earth into the cultivator’s own power. A casual strike can bring forth the natural qi between heaven and earth, and kill the enemy with the force of heaven and earth.

Pei Xuanjing integrated this into the Shenxiao Thunder Gang Qi, transforming the Gang Qi shield into the power of thunder, which comprised his whole body, providing better defense.

Moreover, he not only retained the original abilities to commandeer the natural qi, but also, when highly cultivated, could convert the qi of heaven and earth into the destructive force of thunder. His moves can then carry the power of Shenxiao Thunder, killing enemies with the might of heaven and earth. Plus, with the power of Pei Xuanjing’s Yin Spirit, it was almost effortless for him to do this, literally, without any effort at all.

Boom!

The two of them collided, causing a violent blast, and raising a wild tempest.

The terrifying forceful wind surged like a river, sweeping in all directions.

Even Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but stagger back several steps from such a violent blast. A trace of annoyance flashed across his face.

This physical body was far inferior to his original one. If it were his own body that had undergone a metamorphosis once, he wouldn’t have been scared by such a collision.

There’s no helping it!

The cultivation in the Way of Essence Refinement is different from the Path of Qi Refinement.

Even though Pei Xuanjing had been cultivating continuously, his current body only reached the level equivalent to the entry to the Qi Realm in this world..
