~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sky was clear and blue, without a single cloud, the distant mountains were a gentle green, and a warm breeze blew. The vast blue sky was utterly cloudless, making one feel as if they could wring out water with a slight squeeze, so clear and pure!
However, such weather seemed a bit frightening, as if something was about to happen, making one's heart uneasy.
Within Kairong Country, there was a vast estate. Residing in this estate were the envoys from Tufan Kingdom, one of the Three Great Northwestern Powers, alongside Kairong Country.
The number of envoys was considerable, but what truly drew the attention of Kairong Country was the presence of eight Innate Realm super-experts within this delegation.
Even Kairong Country's Masters Hall only had ten Innate experts. Therefore, when these eight Innate experts arrived, they immediately became the focus of attention for the entire Kairong Country. Moreover, the group included a true expert like Mu Jintian, who was known as the strongest below the Innate level.
Thus, although there were many Kairong Country attendants guarding outside this estate, no one ever imagined that someone would come here to provoke them.
※※※※
At this moment, it was noon, the sun was scorching overhead, and there was not a single cloud in the sky.
In the distance, two figures walked one after another, heading straight for this place.
Their movements were not hurried; they walked step by step towards the front. However, their arrival immediately put everyone on high alert.
In the eyes of these Kairong Country soldiers, whose Inner Energy had reached at least the sixth level, these two individuals appeared too abruptly.
Especially the leader, every step he took seemed to contain a thousand pounds of force. As his foot landed on the ground, their hearts trembled.
This person gave them an extremely terrifying feeling, as if he was not a person but an ancient giant beast weighing ten, or even a hundred tons, every step forward making the entire earth tremble.
Seeing this strange sight, even the dullest person knew that this person was coming with ill intentions and was not ordinary.
The soldiers on duty felt their scalps tingle, but they still bravely stepped forward to question him.
However, as they took a step forward, intending to block him, they suddenly found that they could no longer move.
The closer they got to this person, the more they could feel the enormous, almost boundless pressure emanating from him. This pressure hung over their bodies like a mountain.
Can anyone carry an entire mountain and move forward?
The answer was very clear. Thus, even the most diligent soldiers, when they came within ten meters of this person, became stiff all over and could no longer move.
This person was naturally He Yiming. At this moment, he was in an extraordinarily peculiar state.
Ever since he walked out of Yuan Lixun's room, the immense, no longer suppressible anger had completely dominated his emotions.
He had originally thought that after cultivating to the Innate Realm, with his self-control, he would no longer experience strong emotions of joy or sorrow. However, at that moment, he realized he was wrong, and terribly so.
Upon seeing the whip scar, what he felt in his heart was pain. That whip struck Yuan Lixun's face, but it felt as if it struck his heart at the same time. If there was even a slight possibility, he would rather take her place, because he knew that Yuan Lixun cared very much about her beautiful appearance.
And that whip mark on her face, even with the application of Medicine Daoist's Spirit Medicine and the assistance of his Wood-element Innate cultivation method, would likely leave a small scar in the end.
The thought of Yuan Lixun being upset and unhappy because of this in the future made his heart ache intensely.
Until the mentally exhausted Yuan Lixun fell asleep and He Yiming left the room, that feeling of pain completely erupted.
His spirit continuously soared due to excessive stimulation, and the range of sounds his Clairaudient Ear could hear steadily expanded.
Centered on him, the Heaven and Earth Qi he could influence also continuously increased.
With the almost crazed anger, like surging waves, all the True Qi in his body was stimulated. The powerful and unreserved might, at this moment, was almost substantial.
Within a certain range, his spirit, raised to its peak, and his surging True Qi created a huge force field. Anyone entering this force field would suffer the pressure of his power, feeling their heart pound and their mouth dry, daring not to approach.
Only Xie Mingjin had received his approval, which was why he could follow closely behind him without being greatly affected.
Finally, under the gaze of countless people, he openly arrived at the gate of the estate.
Along this path, all the soldiers responsible for guarding tried to stop them, but not a single one succeeded. Even though they numbered in the hundreds and thousands, not one could even get close to He Yiming.
Xie Mingjin, following closely behind He Yiming, was filled with admiration. He finally understood the true meaning of the phrase "to subdue the enemy without fighting."
It turned out that in front of a true expert, such ordinary people, no matter how many there were, were nothing more than ants, not worth fearing.
Before the main gate, He Yiming raised his hand without hesitation. That hand gleamed with a terrifying metallic luster. This color represented terror, representing immense, incomparably sharp, and powerful force.
This hand, under the gaze of all, as if carrying a thousand pounds of immense power, heavily struck the huge copper gate.
Time seemed to stop at that instant. Everyone had an extremely strange feeling. He Yiming's palm strike seemed to command some incomprehensible power. Their hearts and bodies trembled inexplicably, as if that palm strike had directly impacted their own bodies.
The next moment, a huge explosion echoed throughout the entire estate.
The tall copper gate, like paper, simply couldn't withstand such an incredibly powerful force.
The wooden gate, wrapped in copper, completely burst open. Countless splinters of wood and copper fragments flew into the air, hurtling into the gate.
Then, He Yiming raised his head, and a sound like a bolt from the blue seemed to directly explode in everyone's hearts.
"Bu Xingcong, come out and face your death..."
The rumbling sound burst like thunder in the air. There was no other sound left in the entire estate, only endless echoes lingering in the air.
Inside the estate, Bu Xingcong was currently embracing a voluptuous woman, eagerly watching the dance performances. The supple, boneless waists and beautiful faces kept his gaze lingering. At this moment, he had completely forgotten about his failed hunt and the incident of striking someone in the street.
For him, the loss of face from the failed hunt was far more serious than striking someone in the street.
But just as he was immersed in pleasure, he suddenly heard that mighty roar, as if it was chasing his very soul. His body trembled, and the wine cup in his hand fell.
It wasn't until the endless echoes faded that he somewhat calmed down. However, at this point, his face was utterly devoid of color.
As soon as he heard that voice and felt its power, he immediately understood that the person must be an Innate expert. Only an expert of that level could achieve this.
He jumped up without hesitation, rudely pushed the woman in his arms away, and like a stray dog, rushed out of his room at the fastest possible speed.
Previously, to avoid restrictions, he had arranged his room very far from Mu Jintian. But at this moment, he wished the distance was zero, because only by getting close to Mu Jintian would he feel truly safe.
※※※※
Stepping into the estate, He Yiming's aura reached its peak. Centered on his body, strong Heaven and Earth Qi fluctuations surged forward like an unstoppable tide.
Figures flickered around him; in just a moment, seven more people appeared by his side.
Without exception, these seven individuals were all elderly, but they possessed far stronger life auras than ordinary people. And each of them had a force that maintained a subtle, almost imperceptible connection with the Heaven and Earth Qi outside.
He Yiming looked straight ahead and immediately saw Su Jun.
Although no one introduced him, he immediately understood that this was the Tufan Kingdom's envoy, besides Mu Jintian, and the other seven Innate experts.
Su Jun glanced at the surrounding wooden splinters and copper fragments, then felt the terrifying, almost tangible killing intent emanating from He Yiming. His eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Master He, you have intruded here without cause, and you repeatedly threaten to kill our prince. Is this how your country treats guests?"
He Yiming smiled proudly and said, "I am not from Kairong Country, so the so-called hospitality has nothing to do with me." His voice suddenly turned cold, "Hand over Bu Xingcong, and I'll turn and leave. Otherwise..."
Another gloomy-faced elder snorted angrily, "If we don't hand him over, are you going to kill all of us?"
Although the aura emanating from He Yiming was truly frightening, there were seven Innate experts here. Even Mu Jintian, known as the strongest in the Hundred Scattered Heavens Realm, would not dare to be so reckless.
However, the elder's remark effectively bound everyone together, indicating that after sensing He Yiming's immense aura, he lacked confidence in facing He Yiming alone.
A chilling smile played on He Yiming's lips. His gaze swept over the faces of the seven Innate experts one by one and said, "If killing you is the only way to find Bu Xingcong, then... you shall die."
As the word "die" left He Yiming's mouth, his body moved instantly.
As if he had suddenly vanished, Su Jun and the others lost sight of him.
At this point, a mix of anger, humiliation, and shock flashed in the eyes of the seven Innate experts simultaneously.
Before He Yiming truly made his move, even they hadn't expected that He Yiming would dare to strike first in front of seven experts of the same level.
For a moment, a realization dawned on them.
After this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, He Yiming's reputation would spread throughout the entire Northwest. And this kind of boldness and confidence already surpassed theirs; perhaps only Mu Jintian could contend with him.
A cloud of mist suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes. It was a bizarre illusion formed when He Yiming's movement technique was pushed to its limit, and he condensed the sensation of cloud mist into his fist technique.
Although the seven Innate experts had no experience working together against one person, they instinctively gathered when subjected to He Yiming's indiscriminate attack.
In an instant, everyone else saw a strange sight.
Seven Innate experts were actually surrounded by one person. That seemingly omnipresent cloud of mist seemed to spread throughout the entire space.
Upon witnessing this incredible scene, an unbelievable feeling arose in everyone's hearts. Could this person's strength truly be so powerful that even seven Innate experts could not contend against him?
At this moment, the seven great experts trapped within the Cloud Mist were also far from calm. Although they had long passed the age of impulsiveness, at this moment, a sense of impulse and boldness that they had only felt in their youth slowly surged within them.
Even those who didn't recognize He Yiming could deduce his identity from his youthful appearance.
To be provoked by a seventeen-year-old youth and to hear him speak so arrogantly, threatening to kill them all. Such arrogance naturally aroused their resentment and dislike.
Regardless of the reason, the dignity of an expert must not be desecrated...
The seven Innate experts simultaneously became serious, and a powerful fighting spirit surged from them. The Innate True Qi in each of them surged wildly. They wanted to use their strength to tell He Yiming that the combined might of seven experts was absolutely not something any fellow expert could resist.
Seven streams of Innate True Qi of different attributes instantly burst forth, creating seven massive holes in the Cloud Mist that permeated this space.
However, within one of these holes, a figure eerily condensed, appearing out of thin air before Su Jun.
Su Jun settled his stance, exhaled forcefully, and his palm instantly turned fiery red.
The Fire Element Innate cultivation method was displayed to its fullest on him. The hot waves surged and rolled, seemingly wanting to burn He Yiming, who had just arrived before him, to ashes.
But at this moment, Su Jun saw a hint of disdainful sneer on He Yiming's face.
Inexplicably, his heart sank, and then, he seemed to see a towering wave.
It was a boundless ocean, or perhaps the Milky Way pouring down from the nine heavens. Instantly, water and fire merged, and the originally surging heatwaves dissipated completely, extinguished by the massive water waves in an instant.
Two sharp shouts erupted from Su Jun's sides. The two Innate experts beside him never would have thought that He Yiming had gained an absolute advantage in just one move, even potentially killing Su Jun on the spot.
In clashes between Innate experts, if their cultivation methods were clashing and they lost the initiative, it was not uncommon for them to be continuously pursued and ultimately die tragically.
So, upon seeing Su Jun in danger, they no longer cared about their reputation and immediately joined forces to rescue him.
The two saw He Yiming's powerful water element, which had instantly suppressed Su Jun's Fire Element Technique. Therefore, this time they used Wood-element and Earth Element Cultivation Techniques respectively.
The person on the left struck with solid, heavy force, using the Innate Earth-element True Qi, which specifically countered Water Element Cultivation Technique among the Five Elements.
When the person on the right struck, his arm was like an old tree root, though ugly in appearance, the powerful aura emanating from it was in no way inferior to that of the person beside him.
Not only them, but all seven Innate experts, including Su Jun, believed that He Yiming would have no choice but to abandon the pursuit and temporarily retreat.
However, they almost simultaneously saw that He Yiming's eyes were still sparkling, and that hint of disdainful sneer was rapidly expanding.
His hands did not retract, nor did he continue to display his peerless movement technique that was like wind and mist. Instead, he crossed his palms and met the two Innate experts respectively.
A strange feeling inexplicably arose in everyone else's hearts. Could he actually intend to use Water Element Cultivation Technique to simultaneously deal with Earth-element and Wood-element Innate True Qi?
If He Yiming's aura wasn't overwhelming at this moment, they would really have doubted if this guy was a lunatic.
"Boom..."
The moment the three palms met, the two Tufan Kingdom Innate experts' faces all changed dramatically.
He Yiming's right hand suddenly became withered and thin. When it met the opponent's Earth-element True Qi, it immediately unleashed tremendous power, instantly dispersing it.
And his left hand was as hard as steel, breaking through the other person's Wood Element True Qi like a hot knife through butter, completely shattering it.
Wood-element, Metal Element...
The True Qi he used instantly changed attributes, transforming from the endless Water Element Cultivation Technique into the vibrant Wood-element and the indestructible Metal Element.
These two True Qi transformations were so sudden, without any prior warning.
A hint of shock finally appeared in Su Jun and the others' eyes. They vaguely sensed why He Yiming had such strong confidence to challenge them.
This ability to instantly change cultivation methods has far exceeded the limits that Hundred Scattered Heavens Realm experts can achieve, and even among Single-Line Sky Realm experts, such a heaven-defying feat has never been heard of.
He Yiming struck left and right, defeating two great Innate experts in one fell swoop.
He raised his head, letting out a long roar that echoed far and wide, filled with a formidable killing intent...
Then he strode forward, his gaze firmly fixed on Su Jun, the strongest among the seven, and an endless, overwhelming killing intent surged from him.
The other four did not dare to delay. They struck one after another, and Innate True Qi of different attributes surged towards He Yiming like a tide.
However, He Yiming showed no fear. He did not retreat or evade, but continued to stride forward, as if before him was not a strong defensive line formed by several Innate experts, but a straight, flat road.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
After four continuous massive clashes like metal striking metal, the four Innate experts were successively forced back.
In these four exchanges, He Yiming's True Qi was unpredictable, using all Five Elements True Qi. Everyone who exchanged blows with him encountered True Qi that countered their own.
At this moment, He Yiming seemed like a god descended, his aura like oil poured on fire, instantly soaring to its peak, even surpassing the combined might of the seven great Innate experts.
