"Tuoba Yu, leave one of your arms behind and you can get lost!"
Ye Qing stepped forward with a confident look on his face. He had mastered the upper-grade yellow-class martial skill, Energy Annihilation, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Tuoba Yu, who was only at the ninth stage of the Houtian realm, was nothing.
Tuoba Yu suddenly turned around when he heard Ye Qing, and his eyes erupted with two cold lights that emitted killing intent as he said in a low voice, "Kid, I originally didn't want to kill you so as to avoid dirtying my hands. But since you insist on courting death, then I'll fulfill your wish!"
While speaking, Tuoba Yu rushed forward like a tiger coming down the mountain. He was abnormally powerful.
"Boom!"
Mountain Shattering Palm was the martial skill he was proud of. It was a mid-grade yellow-class martial skill and was very powerful.
"Insignificant skill."
Ye Qing pointed his finger and a ball of black light burst out. In a flash, it pierced Tuoba Yu's right arm.
"Ah!"
Tuoba Yu screamed. His whole body was covered in cold sweat. His whole arm was not listening to him. A strong corrosive force spread. In the blink of an eye, his whole arm turned black as if it was swallowed by a black hole.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out a saber. With a "chi la" sound, he directly cut off his own right arm!
Lan Mu 'er beside him exclaimed. Her beautiful face was filled with fear. This scene was too scary!
Ye Qing was only at the first stage of the Houtian realm, and Tuoba Yu was at the ninth stage. The difference between their cultivation was huge. But in the end, Ye Qing heavily injured Tuoba Yu in one move.
If Ye Qing had wanted to kill Tuoba Yu, it would have been a piece of cake.
"How … how could this be? What kind of martial skill is this?!"
Tuoba Yu was pale with fright. His eyes were wide open as if he had seen a ghost. He was an outer sect genius. How could he be defeated in one move?
"I'll give you three breaths to disappear from my sight. Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Ye Qing's eyes turned cold and released a terrifying killing intent. Tuoba Yu was so scared that his face turned pale. He didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly turned to flee.
Lan Mu 'er was scared out of her wits. When Tuoba Yu ran away, he didn't take her with him. Obviously, in Tuoba Yu's heart, she was just a toy that could be discarded at any time.
"Why are you still here? Do you want me to send you off?"
Ye Qing's cold voice came. Lan Mu 'er felt as if she had just woken up from a dream. She hurriedly ran away. Even Tuoba Yu had been defeated in one move, so it was even more impossible for her to fight with Ye Qing.
In the Martial Arts Practice Field, the air was quiet. No one spoke, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.
What happened today was too shocking. They had yet to come back to their senses!
Tuoba Yu's strength was well known to all. Among the tens of thousands of Duanren Sect's outer sect disciples, he ranked in the top ten. Yet today, Ye Qing actually injured Tuoba Yu in one move. This was like a fantasy story. If they didn't see it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
"Ye Qing is too abnormal. What kind of martial skill did he use just now?
Why haven't I seen him use it before? "
"Even a Houtian first stage can be so tyrannical …"
The outer sect disciples were dumbfounded, and a heated discussion broke out.
Ye Qing was too lazy to pay attention to these outer sect disciples. He walked out of the Martial Arts Practice Field and returned to his own cultivation room.
In the Martial Arts Practice Field, everyone looked at Ye Qing's back with eyes full of awe and veneration.
From today onwards, who would dare to call Ye Qing 'trash'?
In the outer sect, luxurious palaces stood tall in front of Huang Xiaolong's eyes. These were the outer sect disciples' daily residences and cultivation areas.
Ye Qing walked into one of the palaces and entered his own cultivation room. He took out a large pile of Body Tempering Pills and prepared to swallow them.
In the Desolate Era, a cultivator's cultivation realms were divided into Houtian, Xiantian, Yuan Vein, Shen Cang, Yuan Dan, Shen Gong, and so on. Every realm was divided into nine layers.
Ye Qing's cultivation was at the Houtian first stage, belonging to the category of trash. In the entire outer sect, his cultivation was the lowest.
Of course, with the divine tool Ruyi Jingu Bang and the high-grade yellow-level martial skill Energy Annihilation, killing people several realms higher was not a problem.
"Hurry up and raise my cultivation. My battle strength can still be stronger!"
Ye Qing grabbed a handful of Body Tempering Pills and stuffed them into his mouth. It was as if he was eating jelly beans, crunching and crunching.
In the Houtian realm, the main purpose was to temper the body. Body Tempering Pills were the best materials to aid in cultivation. An ordinary outer sect disciple in Duanren Sect could only receive one Body Tempering Pill every three months.
This plaything was very precious to Houtian realm cultivators. After taking one pill, they would need to spend time to refine the medicinal efficacy so that they could absorb it better.
Of course, Ye Qing was rich and did not need to waste time. Even if he only absorbed ten percent of the medicinal efficacy from each Body Tempering Pill, it would be more than enough. He did not lack Body Tempering Pills.
"Ding, congratulations to host for advancing to Houtian second stage!"
"Ding, congratulations to host for advancing to Houtian third stage!"
"Ding, congratulations to host for advancing to Houtian fourth stage!"
… …
"Ding, congratulations to host for advancing to Houtian ninth stage!"
In the blink of an eye, Ye Qing's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of Houtian ninth stage. He was only one step away from entering the Xiantian realm!
"The peak of Houtian ninth stage is still a little weak. In any case, I still have a lot of Body Tempering Pills. I'll continue to take them until I reach the Xiantian realm."
Ye Qing thought for a moment and grabbed a handful of Body Tempering Pills. As if they were free, he ate them fiercely. In the blink of an eye, more than five hundred Body Tempering Pills were swallowed into his stomach.
"Burp … …"
Ye Qing burped, his stomach bulging. His cultivation was still at the peak of Houtian ninth stage. He could faintly feel that there was something wrong with his body.
"Ding, it is detected that host has internal injuries. Host is unable to continue to breakthrough. Host needs to heal first."
The system's prompt sounded and Ye Qing suddenly realized. When he was in Liangzhou's Ye Family, his cultivation was crippled by Ye Sha. His internal injuries had never healed.
Therefore, in the three years he was in Duanren Sect, he remained at Houtian first stage.
"System, the internal injuries in my body, how can they be healed?"
"Host can practice a water attribute or light attribute cultivation method to gradually heal the injuries. Alternatively, host can take healing pellets."
Ye Qing pondered for a moment. He did not have any water attribute or light attribute cultivation method, but he could use Body Tempering Pills to exchange for healing pellets. However, it would be troublesome to do so, so it was better to look for a suitable cultivation method.
After all, Ye Qing had God Realm perception, any cultivation method or martial skill could reach perfection in an instant.
Looking at the system interface, there was no shop or anything like that. He could only rely on picking up treasures.
The next day, Ye Qing woke up early and walked out of his cultivation room to the outer sect's martial practice field. Along the way, he came across many outer sect disciples. Every outer sect disciple had a pitch-black treasure chest at their feet.
"Junior Sister Ningshuang, good morning, your skin is so white!"
"Senior Brother Ah Niu, how come you've gotten fatter recently?"
"Senior Sister Xu, I heard you have someone in your heart. Ai, it really makes people sad ah!"
Ye Qing's face was full of smiles as he greeted the outer sect disciples. While they were not paying attention, he picked up more than a dozen black iron treasure chests, a bountiful harvest.
Only Ye Qing could see the treasure chests on the ground. No one else could see them.
The outer sect disciples were dumbfounded, thinking that Ye Qing's actions were very strange. There didn't seem to be anything on the ground, right?
What was Ye Qing randomly touching?
"Senior Brother Ye, good morning!"
"Senior Brother Ye, do you lack a pendant on your thigh?"
"Senior Brother Ye, I heard you're not married yet. This little girl is untalented, but she's willing to serve you for the rest of her life!"
The outer sect disciples' attitude towards Ye Qing had completely changed. In the past, whenever they met, they would mock and ridicule Ye Qing, calling him 'trash'. Now, each and every one of them was respectful, nodding and bowing, wanting to hug Ye Qing's thigh.
