Chapter 81: Chapter 82 You’re High Tier too

"You are also a Bone Tempering High Tier!"

Lord Hong’s figure continuously stumbled backward three steps before he finally stabilized himself. His pupils began to constrict as he looked at Xiao Yi with an incredulous expression.

He had originally thought that his previous assessment of Xiao Yi as a Middle Tier was quite accurate, but he had never expected that Xiao Yi was actually High Tier, and what’s more, at the peak of High Tier, just like himself!

He simply couldn’t believe that Xiao Yi was High Tier!

Even if he had started training from within his mother’s womb, it was impossible for him to reach High Tier at such a young age!

"Thrilling, try another punch!"

Xiao Yi still disregarded Lord Hong’s words. He moved and once again threw a punch towards Lord Hong.

"Thump!"

Their fists collided once again.

A violent explosion sounded through the air once more.

"Puh!"

This time, Lord Hong stumbled backward five or six steps before he staggered and steadied himself, unable to control a mouthful of fresh blood that he spat out. It was a while before he raised his head, his eyes filled with an incredible look as he gazed at Xiao Yi, who appeared to be completely unharmed.

He simply couldn’t understand why, even though both of them were of the same Bone Tempering High Tier strength, Xiao Yi’s energy was so dominant, so powerful!

At the moment when their fist strengths clashed, he actually felt an oppressive force, a kind of pressure that should not exist between contendants of the same tier. And that energy, moreover, brought with it a kind of overwhelming momentum, unstoppable and unmatched, asserting dominance that left him with no power to strike back!

With a look of strong confidence, Xiao Yi glanced at Lord Hong, who was looking at him with disbelief. He knew why Lord Hong had such an expression; anyone in his position would surely look the same.

Theoretically, a clash of same tier strength should be completely equal, even if some variances in cultivation techniques may exist. The difference shouldn’t be too great. If he was injured, Xiao Yi should be injured as well. But in reality, he knew that if they were of the same tier, he was bound to win!

This was also why he dared to strike with all his might on the opponent’s turf!

Because he practiced the world’s most unpredictable and enigmatic Carefree True Scripture, even the old man couldn’t fully grasp it!

The Carefree True Qi within him, besides having excellent healing effects, also had one major characteristic: it was overbearing. The old man had once said that Carefree True Qi shouldn’t be called Carefree True Qi; Overlord’s True Qi would be more fitting. It was the most mysterious True Qi in the world. Usually, when cultivating and circulating within the body, it seemed especially gentle, like a gentle stream of water. But once concentrated and clashing with someone else’s powerful qi, it would immediately transform into an overbearing sovereign, never allowing anyone to infringe upon its dignity, erupting with immense explosive power.

This was also another reason why he persisted in his cultivation even though he had always been unable to break through.

However, his current drawback was that if he could not make a breakthrough to the Second Layer, his strength would remain forever within Bone Tempering, unable to reach the higher Condensation Period he longed for!

And if he couldn’t make a breakthrough, no matter how overbearing, the strength of Bone Tempering would never be able to compete with a master of the Condensation Period. Being one tier apart was an entirely different concept. When facing a master at the Initial Tier of Condensation, his only option was to flee.

After glancing at Lord Hong and confirming that he had no strength left to counterattack, Xiao Yi’s gaze returned to Sun Hao who was beside him, his face filled with shock, disbelief, and other complex expressions. Xiao Yi spoke faintly, "Now, can we talk?"

"What... do you... want... to talk... about?"

Sun Hao’s complexion was ashen as he trembled and looked at Xiao Yi.

At this moment, the only thing left in his heart was fear of the young man before him, a fear so deep that he didn’t even think of running away!

All this while, after witnessing Lord Hong in action a few times, Lord Hong had become like a god in his mind. In his view, there was no one in the world Lord Hong couldn’t deal with. Lord Hong was his greatest reliance, his strongest backing, allowing him to act without any scruples.

But now, this ultimate support, this godlike existence, had been defeated!

Yes, even though he didn’t understand martial arts, he could see that Lord Hong had been defeated, and the one who beat him was the terrifying young man before him!

If even Lord Hong had been defeated, where could he possibly run to?

"Rest assured, I don’t have any immediate plans to kill you."

Xiao Yi looked at the genuine fear on Sun Hao’s face, a trace of sarcasm appearing at the corner of his eye as he spoke indifferently, "Chen Jianguo’s daughter is in your hands, right? Don’t give me any nonsense; I hope to see her within ten minutes."

"No... No problem!"

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, not expecting Xiao Yi to be seeking Chen Jianguo’s daughter, but by now he was thoroughly terrified of Xiao Yi. He didn’t doubt for a second that if he didn’t comply, Xiao Yi would immediately change his mind and crush him like an ant within minutes.

After only a brief pause, he hurriedly fished out his phone with trembling hands, rapidly dialing a number. As soon as the call connected, without even giving the other person a chance to greet him, he shouted like a rapid-fire cannon, "Hurry, bring Chen Jianguo’s daughter to the bar, now, immediately, within five minutes, I have to see her. If I don’t see her, I’ll annihilate your entire family!"

After hanging up the phone, Sun Hao quickly looked up at Xiao Yi with nervousness, "Don’t worry, they will bring her soon; they’re in the vicinity."

Xiao Yi nodded, then turned and walked over to a chair nearby, sitting down and pulling out his phone to check the time.

Sun Hao and his group watched Xiao Yi casually walk over and sit down, exhaling slightly with relief. They turned to exchange glances with Hua Qingqing, also quickly taking up cautious positions in front of Xiao Yi.

But since Xiao Yi didn’t say anything, they didn’t dare to make a sound either.

In this quiet waiting, every second felt like a year to Sun Hao. His gaze kept drifting toward the direction of the bar’s entrance. He had never thought that five minutes could be so difficult to endure.
