Chapter 615: Chapter 438: I Have Martial Arts 2
Afterwards, the residual power of Gang Qi surged forth, heading straight for the cultivation experts standing at the entrance of Tianyi Palace.
The speed was too fast.
Without mana, the nine Daoists of the Heavenly Dao Sect, though they reacted, had no time to evade. Their pupils suddenly contracted, and they only felt an overwhelmingly fierce gust of wind ripping through their faces, instantly tearing their cheeks while two Daoists were cut in half at the waist.
With bodies toppling, Tian Feizi and Tian Juzi stared wide-eyed in disbelief. With a loud thud, they collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from their severed limbs as their life force dissipated rapidly.
"Impossible." Another Daoist nearby lost his composure, his old face contorting, shouting in horror: "In the Ten Directions Absolute Spirit Array, all Spiritual Energy is gone and mana is lost, so how is Taiyi still able to cast spells?"
"Calamity, it truly is calamity. Could it be that the Heavenly Dao Sect’s luck hasn’t entirely run out?" Another Daoist shivered uncontrollably, whether from shock or fear.
Tian Jizi was the first to recover his composure, hastily yelling: "Everyone, stop Taiyi! Brothers, quickly leave this place. No matter how brave he is, it’s impossible for him to kill all ten thousand armored soldiers in the Imperial City in one breath..."
Yet, before he could finish speaking.
A deafening series of explosions reverberated, and then Li Yi, alone and spearheading the charge, came rushing forward, his imposing stature and robust physique barreling through everything in his path. The air tore apart like a blade slicing a white ribbon across the sky.
Wherever he went, armored soldiers couldn’t even draw close before Gang Qi swept them away, exploding into a bloody mist mid-air.
"Coming for me, the old Daoist?" Tian Jizi’s pupils constricted sharply. Instinctively, he stepped back, intending to turn and avoid the incoming force.
But before he could retreat even fully, piercing silver vertical pupils were already upon him.
A towering figure descended from the skies, radiating a fist intent as destructive as annihilation itself. It exploded with terrifying force, shaking hearts and minds alike, causing one’s courage to shatter into pieces.
"What... what kind of monster are you!"
Tian Jizi roared in despair, refusing to believe that someone without mana could achieve such prowess merely through a mortal body. Even Daoists who tampered with necromancy and refined zombies or puppets required Spiritual Energy. Without Spiritual Energy, all is rendered useless.
Yet Li Yi did not respond. Instead, his fist, imbued with Fist Gang, struck down with earth-shattering might.
Tian Jizi’s desperate cries lingered, but he, mana-less, could do nothing. Accompanied by an explosion of fist power, his skull instantly burst apart, transforming into a spray of blood mist in the air. Not even fragments of bone remained.
"Senior Brother!" A Daoist beside him cried out sorrowfully.
The mighty Tian Jizi, leader among the ten Heavenly Dao practitioners of the Tianyi Sect, had met his end in front of Tianyi Palace—nothing but a headless corpse now.
"The elder was right; weeds must be uprooted. I’ll send all of you on your way today." Li Yi’s towering frame flickered and vanished instantly.
Bang!
The next moment, a Daoist named Tian Lei Zi let out a tragic scream as his body exploded on the spot. Before half of his body could fall to the ground, it was swept up and pulverized by a surge of Gang Qi, leaving no remains. Moments later, another Daoist named Tian He Zi tried to flee but had his legs sliced off by Gang Qi, only for Li Yi to flash by and have his skull shattered.
Both Tian Feizi and Tian Juzi, who were still alive but barely clinging to life after being severed in two, screamed loudly, but Li Yi responded by stomping down and smashing their heads, killing them instantly.
In merely three breaths, five Tri-Floral Realm cultivation experts with the "Tian" prefix perished tragically on the spot.
Yet Li Yi showed no signs of stopping. To him, these mana-less old Daoists were fragile beyond comparison, an easy kill with just a flick of his hand. Even fleeing couldn’t take them beyond his range of attack—his Gang Qi could kill at a thousand meters, rivaling many ordinary Daoist Skills.
"Taiyi, spare me! The Tianyi Sect is willing to surrender..." A Daoist named Tian Jingzi, unwilling to die such an ignoble death and desperate to save the sect, stopped in his tracks. He turned and knelt down, kowtowing toward Li Yi with enough force that blood instantly flowed from his forehead.
But Li Yi ignored him, merely passing by, brushing him with Gang Qi that promptly decapitated him.
"Calamity... calamity..." An older Daoist called Tian Pingzi muttered, laughing bitterly as he stopped running. "Earlier, my Dao intuition sensed a great disaster for today—it was not false. Brother Tian Jizi truly made a mistake. If we allowed the Heavenly Dao Sect to retreat, would this have come to pass? Haha! I understand now: whether it’s the Tianyi Sect or the Heavenly Dao Sect, it’s the Tao Court’s destiny that has ended—the final Chapter for all cultivators. None can escape! Hahaha."
Knowing escape was futile against someone who demonstrated such power even within the Ten Directions Absolute Spirit Array, Tian Pingzi resigned himself to death. "Even if the formation shuts off now, it would make no difference," he said.
"Stop feigning madness; you’ll die anyway." Li Yi’s expression remained indifferent. A distant strike instantly cleaved the Daoist in two, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Since the Tianyi Sect sought to annihilate him, he repaid grievance with grievance, utterly wiping out the sect.
Circling Tianyi Palace once, Li Yi swiftly executed all nine Daoists. To eliminate the possibility of revival, he destroyed their bodies completely.
"Good, excellent killing! The Tianyi Sect is doomed now. They could never have anticipated Taiyi’s strength without mana being so overwhelming," Xiang Xiangzi exclaimed, clapping and laughing in excitement. Earlier consumed by despair, she now watched as the enemies met ignoble deaths, and her heart brimmed with satisfaction.
Indeed, life’s ups and downs come with startling swiftness.
Xuan Yuezi also curled her lips into a faint smile: "The Tianyi Sect would never have dreamt that the activation of the Ten Directions Absolute Spirit Array would not harm us but instead give Taiyi an overwhelming advantage. It’s as if they dug their own grave. If it had been a true Daoist duel, we would hardly have prevailed against their nine Tri-Floral Realm experts."
"Taiyi truly embodies the sliver of hope for our survival. From the very first glance, I sensed faint Dao intuition and thus offered the Primordial Spirit Flower as tribute. Today, that choice has proven absolutely correct," Xiang Xiangzi said with both excitement and relief.
Xuan Yuezi nodded slightly, admitting she had also felt Dao intuition and thus gifted the Xuanhuang Seal. This act led to receiving Taiyi’s weapon in return and his resolute assistance, ensuring her survival.
Truly, this was destiny at work—every action preordained.
Without those earlier exchanges of treasures and secrets, she would likely have already been reduced to dust. Similarly, Xiang Xiangzi’s offering of the Primordial Spirit Flower atop Dao Court Mountain allowed Taiyi to impart teachings and prevent the Heavenly Fragrance Building’s crisis.
Even the bald Daoist ultimately benefited, regaining vitality despite his earlier hardships.
"Taiyi..."
Nearby, Divine Lady Yun Feizi’s beautiful eyes shimmered as she gazed at the man wreaking havoc. Uttering his title, she, too, felt spiritual intuition stir deep in her heart. Though heavily injured and her mind unclear, she vaguely realized that this man could change her fate, guiding her toward a brighter future.
"If death is inevitable anyway, seize these immortals as hostages. Perhaps we can force Taiyi to surrender." Suddenly, a Daoist in a Daoist robe mustered his courage and roared aloud.
This cultivator didn’t want to die passively. As a disciple of the Tianyi Sect, he knew the Heavenly Dao Sect would hunt them down once the tables turned. With nothing left to lose, he might as well gamble everything. Capturing the Divine Lady and Immortals could provide a bargaining chip.
The other armored soldiers glanced at one another but gritted their teeth and charged alongside him.
Retreating now would only leave them at the mercy of these Daoists once their mana returned—and as mere mortals, they’d all face certain death.
Yet, the moment they moved, Li Yi became aware.
Though separated by thousands of meters, distance meant nothing to him now. He closed in swiftly, obliterating any semblance of vulnerability. The commanding Daoist...
