Chapter 174: Chapter 0174: Sealing the Meridians
"You might not be able to find them anymore," Chu Ge said with a shake of his head and a smile. "The master has already been laid to rest. I personally burned him along with several thatched huts to ashes and scattered his ashes on that hill per his will."
"Actually, that might not necessarily be the case!" The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, a powerful aura bursting forth from him, causing the bowls and dishes on the table to be blown about: "You are his disciple. That old guy once said that your talents and future far surpass his. So, recovering face through you is essentially the same!"
Chu Ge also stood up, but just looked at him, saying nothing.
The middle-aged man slowly took the long sword from his back and placed it on the table: "I promised the old guy, once defeated, I would help you. Now is the perfect time to test whether you are worthy of my help!"
"Are you still self-restricting your Innate meridians to fight me at the same Realm?" Chu Ge suddenly asked.
"That’s right." The middle-aged man nodded: "Both in the Postnatal Realm, let me weigh your capabilities."
"You will lose miserably," Chu Ge said seriously, looking at him.
"Ha ha... Hahaha!" The middle-aged man suddenly burst into laughter and said to Chu Ge, "Your tone and expression remind me of that old guy back then. But unlike your master, you are even more arrogant!"
The atmosphere suddenly froze there. The middle-aged man’s right hand formed a sword finger and tapped sharply several dozen times on himself. Instantly his aura weakened, yet despite this, the oppressive force he emitted did not diminish in the slightest.
"In fact, even like this, it still seems fairly unfair to you. I have been standing at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm for many years, so even if I restrict myself to the Postnatal Realm to fight you, relying on experience and skill, I can still fight like those in the Innate."
The middle-aged man suddenly spoke softly for a moment, but then laughed again: "But that old man made me suffer so much in the past, today I must redeem my dignity, even if I play the bully this time!"
At this point, the middle-aged man shouted loudly, his entire figure turned into a white blur, rushing towards Chu Ge; his speed so fast that it created a gust of wind, causing everything it passed, bowls and chopsticks included, to be blown fiercely aside, even the chairs were lifted into the air by the strong wind.
Chu Ge, however, took a solid stance, neither dodging nor avoiding, and directly threw a punch towards the middle-aged man with his right hand. Since coming to Shanghai, whether facing the elders from the Ghost Poison Sect or the slaughter in the Huo Tianqian’s company, he had never truly exerted his full strength.
At this moment, the immense and frightening True Qi within Chu Ge’s body surged forth completely, even causing the meridians in his body to throb with pain.
"Well done, kid!" The middle-aged man looked shocked.
After all, as someone who has stood at the peak of the Innate Realm for many years, even though he now only had the strength of the Postnatal Realm, his ability to judge strength was not something the Postnatal Realm could compare to. He could clearly feel the astonishing power contained in Chu Ge’s fist.
However, this was also a madman, not only showing no intent to dodge, but even more fighting spirit arose, also mobilizing all the True Qi in his body, concentrating it in his hands.
Clearly, he was preparing to settle the matter with one punch against Chu Ge!
Outside the banquet hall, Zhao Wuji heard the crashing sounds inside, furrowing his brow, a sense of worry arising in his heart.
Could it be that the dignitary has clashed with Mr. Chu?
However, he hesitated for a long time but still didn’t dare to knock on the door and enter. He was well aware of how terrifying that dignitary was; a common Innate Grandmaster, in his eyes, was almost the same as being in the Postnatal Realm.
But, as Zhao Wuji was extremely conflicted, a thunderous bang suddenly sounded from within the banquet hall.
"Boom—"
The wooden door of the banquet hall burst apart completely, turning into numerous wood splinters shooting in all directions, while simultaneously, a figure with a gust of wind crashed out from inside, flying nearly a hundred meters, demolishing an artificial hill and over a dozen large trees along its path, before finally coming to a halt on the ground.
"This..." Zhao Wuji widened his eyes in astonishment.
Just then, a series of footsteps came out from the banquet hall, Zhao Wuji swiftly turned his head to look, only to find it was Chu Ge, casually adjusting his sleeves, strolling out unhurriedly.
Since there were only two people in the banquet hall and no waiters were arranged, the one who just flew out must be...
Thinking this, Zhao Wuji hurriedly shifted his gaze, but found that the dignitary had already appeared before him.
Yet, the middle-aged man now looked quite bedraggled, his originally god-like white robe shredded into rags haphazardly hanging on him, his long hair disheveled with even a few leaves visible, making him look like a refugee from the ancient times.
This time, it was the middle-aged man’s turn to be shocked.
He looked up and down at Chu Ge in horror, somewhat uncertain as he asked, "You... you’re really in the Postnatal Realm?"
"Authentic," Chu Ge looked at him and said with a light smile: "With your Realm, you should be able to sense the aura in my body, the meridians throughout my body have not yet merged completely, I am still a step away from the Innate Grandmaster."
"This..."
The middle-aged man was momentarily at a loss for words, remaining silent for a long time before finally letting out a rueful smile, shaking his head, and muttering, "Oh, your sect truly one is more monstrous than the next. Back then your master proclaimed himself unbeatable under the Innate, yet you have surpassed him, with your current strength, probably even a common Innate Grandmaster caught unawares would die by your hand!"
Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Zhao Wuji was incredibly shocked as he looked at Chu Ge; not even Innate, yet having the strength to contend with one!
"You flatter me." Chu Ge remained unperturbed, just looking at the middle-aged man with an unreduced smile.
The middle-aged man gave him an annoyed look: "That’s why I hate that old fart. You’ve learned perfectly from him. That look of pride yet pretending to be humble which is just disgusting. Forget it, I admit defeat this time. Not only did I fail to recover any old debts, but it just added another black mark to my history—kid, don’t speak of today’s events, otherwise, be careful I may kill to keep a secret!"
After all, this middle-aged man could be considered Chu Ge’s elder, having had a very good relationship with his master back in the day, even personally teaching him swordsmanship, so naturally, there couldn’t be any real malice between them.
Hearing the middle-aged man’s words lacking any threat, Chu Ge couldn’t help but laugh and nod: "Don’t worry, respecting the elders is something I do understand."
"Hm." The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction: "Such a teachable youth... Xiao Zhao, this banquet hall is now unusable; go prepare another."
"Yes!" Zhao Wuji nodded, hurrying off to make preparations.
The middle-aged man then went to reclaim his sword: "Come, let’s talk over dinner."
