Outside Lingling City, a carriage surrounded by guards left the city and headed towards the Water Temple. The carriage was extremely luxurious with a golden roof and a golden phoenix on top, and four golden bells hung from each corner of the eaves. The carriage was painted red with gold accents and had thick wooden shafts. The guards sitting around the carriage were vigilant and looked around warily. Two demon kings with bull heads and human bodies pulled the carriage from the front. They were nearly two meters tall and had powerful muscles. Their footsteps kicked up dust, and smoke came out of their nostrils.

After traveling just a few miles outside the city, the carriage suddenly stopped. A guard bowed and said, "Governor, there are starving people from Lingling blocking the road to petition."

The person sitting in the carriage was the Governor of Yongzhou, named Zhou Heng. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties with a big belly and two strands of beard hanging from his lips. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. He saw a group of starving people kneeling by the roadside, calling out "Sir Qingtian," like a flock of ducks meeting their master.

Zhou Heng asked, "What do they want to petition for? If it's not too excessive, I will grant their request since I am an honest and upright official."

The guard went to inquire and reported back, "They say they can't pay the taxes, can't afford food, and have been affected by the Nai River disaster and land invasion. Ghosts are also rampant, and they want the Governor to exempt them from paying taxes this year."

"Rebels!"

Zhou Heng was furious, and his veins bulged on his forehead. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "They are a bunch of rebels! They are all farmers who grow crops, and they dare to say they can't afford food! This is just an excuse not to pay taxes! The Nai River disaster and ghosts don't eat food, so they have no excuse! "

He stood up and sneered, "Also, if they don't have money, why don't they rent out their houses in the city or work with their horses? Instead, they kneel in front of officials begging for food. They have no shame!"

He became angrier as he spoke and shouted, "If they dare to block my way again to avoid paying taxes, I will confiscate their property!"

The guards hurriedly went out to command the other guards to drive away the people. After a while, the starving people fled ten miles away.

Zhou Heng laughed and said, "I can't stand poor people. Now I feel refreshed. These rebels ran away when they heard I would confiscate their property, which shows they still have money. If they were truly poor, why would they run so fast?"

"Governor is wise!" The guards praised.

The carriage continued its journey, rushing straight to the Water Temple with smoke and dust billowing behind it.

In the Water Temple, Zhou Yihang laughed loudly, his voice shaking Xu Ying's blood and qi. Most of the other Nuo practitioners who came to the New Land were also shaken and unstable, some even dizzy and falling off the Immortal Mountain with a long scream.

Ignoring them, Zhou Yihang continued to laugh. He straightened his waist and back, and his body swelled up, activating the Vajra Indestructible Body technique, transforming into a six-meter-tall body covered in golden light.

He had already cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body technique to the fourth level, surpassing Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang had only just started to learn the technique, but Zhou Yihang had already mastered it!He used the Dongjun Placid Sky Seal, and under his palm, there was a raging fire flowing.

His mastery of the Dongjun Placid Sky Seal far surpassed his son Zhou Yang. Xu Ying had once seen him take on the City God Xue Lingfu head-on with just one move, causing Xue Lingfu's golden body to be injured!

At that time, Zhou Yihang had cultivated his body and soul as one, with his physical body and soul closely intertwined, which had truly impressed Xu Ying and gave him a feeling of being unbeatable.

Now, as Xu Ying watched Zhou Yihang execute the Indestructible Body of the Vajra and the Dongjun Placid Sky Seal, he felt a different kind of feeling in his heart: "He doesn't seem as strong as I remember."

He activated the Heavenly Eye passed down by the girl in the coffin and observed Zhou Yihang's physical body, as well as the techniques of the Dongjun Placid Sky Seal. He could even see Zhou Yihang's hidden scene clearly!

Inside Zhou Yihang's body, a four-armed Vajra was closely attached to him, as if they were one. This four-armed Vajra was his hidden scene, created by the power of the Mud Pill Secret Storehouse.

Under the observation of the Heavenly Eye, he could see Zhou Yihang's flaws.

Zhou Yihang took a step forward and slapped out four palms in succession. His palm strength was accompanied by clouds and fire, fluttering like a flag, with a flexible palm strength that contained immense power.

He was like a four-armed sun god, driving away the clouds and fire as he walked!

This move was the Cloud Flag Serpent in the Dongjun Placid Sky Seal.

Xu Ying's power surged to the extreme in an instant, and the Pure Yang Qi behind him condensed into a King's body. He punched out, with the sound of thunder roaring, directly hitting Zhou Yihang's flawed technique!

At the same time, Yuan Qi's tail turned into a fist, and the white elephant shook its trunk. Its huge body swayed like a pillar supporting the sky, sweeping towards them.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The muffled sound of a violent impact came, and Xu Ying collided with Zhou Yihang, and the King's body behind him was hit hard, causing his blood and energy to scatter like dust blown away by the wind!

The King's body was composed of blood and energy, with the mist of Qi and blood that had been transformed. When the Qi and blood scattered like dust, it was a sign that the divine body had been shattered.

Xu Ying groaned, his limbs and bones trembling, and his blood and energy surged like boiling water, retreating several steps.

Yuan Qi's cultivation was not as good as Xu Ying's, and his King's body was directly destroyed!

The bones of the giant snake shook, and its dragon mane swayed like waves, almost being shaken apart by the power contained in Zhou Yihang's attack!

Zhou Yihang's blood and energy were blocked by Xu Ying, and the Cloud Flag Serpent technique was suddenly unable to continue. His blood and energy surged for a moment before being suppressed by him.

Seeing this, Xu Ying knew why his King's body had been shattered: "His martial arts technique is much more advanced than ours! The technique contains a hidden scene that coordinates with the hidden scene of the four-armed heavenly god! But the Elephant Power Bull Demon Fist that Yuan Qi and I practiced doesn't have any hidden scene support!"

A hidden scene was a manifestation of the Great Dao. If a martial arts technique could coordinate with the corresponding hidden scene, it could unleash unexpected power. For example, if the Elephant Power Bull Demon Fist could comprehend the Elephant God as its hidden scene, it could elevate the power of this martial arts technique to a stronger level.

Without an equivalent martial arts technique, even if Xu Ying could find the opponent's flaws, it would be difficult to harm them.

"Although I don't have a hidden scene, I have just cultivated a manifestation of the Great Dao!"

Xu Ying retreated several steps, suddenly stopped and shrugged. A sword qi came from behind him and slashed towards Zhou Yihang!

This sword was like a rainbow from outside the sky, sudden and unexpected, invading Zhou Yihang's consciousness with its sword intent!Without hesitation, Zhou Yihang clasped the sword qi between his palms, while his other palms continued to strike towards Xu Ying.

As he clasped the sword qi, he felt its power surge. He couldn't afford to kill Xu Ying, so he quickly joined his other palms to trap the sword qi.

Xu Ying suddenly took a big step forward and, taking advantage of Zhou Yihang's vulnerability, pointed a finger at his chest, causing the sword qi to explode!

"Chi!"

The sword qi pierced through his indestructible body like a steel nail, piercing his heart!

Fortunately, the sword qi that Xu Ying used was not as terrifying as the sword intent of the great dao. It only went three inches into his body before being blocked by his indestructible body.

However, the next moment, Xu Ying's ten fingers flew like a rain of pear blossoms, pressing on various acupoints all over Zhou Yihang's body!

Yuan Qi still hadn't recovered from the scattered blood and was completely stunned by this scene.

Xu Ying was using the Bone Dislocation technique of the Snake Catcher, which was how he managed to capture Zhou Yihang by dislocating all of his bones.

In Zhou Yihang's perception, every time Xu Ying's finger fell, it was like a steel nail piercing into his body, cutting off his blood flow.

He was terrified, "What kind of technique is this? How can he see the path of my cultivation method?"

With his blood flow cut off, Zhou Yihang's strength greatly diminished. The sword qi above his head broke through his four palms and landed on his head!

This was the sword intent of a peerless swordsman that Xu Ying had comprehended in front of the ruined temple.

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

The great crack contained the sword intent of this peerless swordsman. Although Xu Ying had never seen this swordsman in action, he had comprehended the essence of the Flying Rainbow Sword from the residual sword intent.

This sword was strong when it met resistance. If there was nothing in front of it, it would not have such great power.

To fully unleash the power of this sword technique, there must be something to block it.

It was precisely because of the obstruction of an underworld mountain that the sword intent of that peerless swordsman was strong when it met resistance. He cut open the mountain and reached an unprecedented limit when he broke the mountain root, surpassing himself!

Xu Ying was also the same in his battle with Zhou Yihang. When the sword qi encountered Zhou Yihang's four arms, its power surged, crushing Zhou Yihang's strength and cutting into his forehead!

At the same time, Yuan Qi swung his tail again, and the tip of his tail exceeded the speed of sound, stirring up all his blood and launching the strongest attack, which hit Zhou Yihang hard with a loud snap!

"Snap!"

The old man's clothes exploded, and his indestructible body was covered in blood. The sword also penetrated his head, all the way to his brow!

Zhou Yihang's brain was damaged, and his eyes became cloudy, his mind unclear.

Xu Ying continued to attack, but the sword qi encountered great resistance and could not advance any further.

Suddenly, he felt the sword qi in his hand tremble violently, causing his hand to split open. He quickly let go and retreated.

The sword qi embedded in Zhou Yihang's head exploded with a snap, and the long nails of sword qi that Xu Ying had driven into his body burst one after another.

Xu Ying's heart sank. He had broken Zhou Yihang's move, but the difference in cultivation level was too great, so even if he had the upper hand in the move, he could not kill Zhou Yihang.

Xu Ying suddenly let out a long howl and activated the Taiyi Guiding Technique.Da Zhong noticed his intention and quickly said, "Ah Ying, you need a powerful medicine to help you break through the barrier, otherwise your blood and energy won't be strong enough! Don't act recklessly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly became bright, and countless light particles swarmed in, denser than ten times the outside world!

In an instant, the light particles formed a half-acre field of light, which was brighter than ten times the outside world!

Under the field of light, Xu Ying's blood and energy surged, and Da Zhong was shocked. Xu Ying seemed to have taken a powerful medicine to break through the barrier, and his blood and energy surged and rushed towards the black iron gate in the Xi Yi realm!

"The sun's energy here is so strong, it's ten times stronger than the outside world. Could this really be the immortal realm?" Da Zhong wondered.

The sun's energy was so strong that it didn't matter if there was a powerful medicine to break through the barrier.

"The so-called breaking through the barrier mainly involves the word 'breaking through', asking about the profound barrier and comprehending the roots of heaven and earth to open the barrier," Da Zhong quickly explained.

"There is a poem that goes, 'Breaking through the barrier with the innate one qi, the great medicine exists in the mysterious. Reversing the universe to become the Taiji, coming and going from Li and Kan, establishing the profound roots.' This isn't the orthodox method of a Qi Refiner... Huh?"

Xu Ying's blood and energy roared and surged, and under the impact, the black iron gate shook and trembled, and the two doors creaked and opened to both sides!

He didn't even try to comprehend the Taiji, let alone the Li and Kan, and directly used violence to forcibly break through the barrier!

There were signs that the barrier was being broken.

Da Zhong was stunned, and he could hear the sound of thunder coming from Xu Ying's body. Clusters of short and long hairs of light, about an inch long, radiated from his body.

Even inside his body, he could see a large dragon emitting a radiant light, like a dragon sucking water, attacking the tailgate of the Xi Yi realm from top to bottom, trying to conquer the barrier!

The barrier was located at the coccyx of the human body and was called the tailgate!

Once this barrier was opened, it could connect life and death, understand yin and yang, open the Tianhe River, receive the Jade Dew from the Heavenly Palace, and open the Tian Shan inside the body!

With each level of Tian Shan, there was a path for cultivation!

Da Zhong was shocked and thought to himself, "If I hadn't stolen fifty percent of his blood and energy to heal myself, he would have broken through the barrier in one fell swoop! It's my fault, I need to make it up to him."

It also activated its own breathing technique. With each inhale and exhale, Da Zhong's body grew and shrank, and the half-acre field of light in the sky suddenly became an acre!

Xu Ying's blood and energy suddenly surged, and with a loud bang, the pure Yang energy finally broke through the black iron barrier!

The river water flowed out!

From the nine heavens above, the water of the Tianhe River flowed out of the barrier, rushed into the Xi Yi realm, flowed through the continent below, passed through the mountains and rivers, formed waterfalls in the highlands, and formed lakes in the plains, making the Xi Yi realm suddenly become vivid and colorful!

Xu Ying felt that his internal organs were nourished by the Tianhe River, and his energy grew stronger. The limit of his energy cultivation before was now gone!

His cultivation was rapidly advancing, and his blood and energy were far more robust and pure than before!

With the support of this increasingly powerful blood and energy, the sword energy that was like a rainbow outside the Xi Yi realm became clearer and clearer.

Xu Ying stabilized his retreat and looked at Zhou Yihang, whose wounds had healed, as if he were looking at a slaughtered pig or dog, eager to fight him at his peak.

Translated by: cranberryDa Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Be careful."

Xu Ying immediately felt his blood qi continuously rising, and for the first time since meeting Da Zhong, his blood qi had recovered to its peak!

Suddenly, a voice came from afar, "Yi Hang, why are you so embarrassed?"

The fifth immortal mountain rose slowly and floated in the distance. Governor Zhou Heng's carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. The carriage curtain opened, and the windows around the carriage were removed. Zhou Heng, who had a big belly, sat in the carriage and laughed, "Is this the demon Xu Ying? The one who can decipher the demon clan's cultivation techniques?"

There were many people watching around, and they all looked at Xu Ying with strange eyes when they heard this.

Yi Hang saw Governor Zhou Heng and felt a chill in his heart, fearing that he would stop him from killing Xu Ying to avenge Zhou Yang. He immediately roared in anger, urging his Diamond Body and Dongjun Pingtian Seal to the extreme, and rushed towards Xu Ying!

He wanted to kill Xu Ying and offer his head to Zhou Yang!

Suddenly, a bright sword aura shone in the sky, and the shadows of the trees around disappeared!

The sword aura broke through the long sky, emitting a sharp sword whistling sound, and disappeared in a flash!

In the nearby mountains and forests, many tree leaves were floating in the air at this moment!

These tree leaves suddenly split apart in unison, as if there was an invisible sword qi that cut them neatly in half!

Every leaf was like this, neat and without any error!

The leaves fluttered in the wind and fell to the ground!

The cool wind blew, and the onlookers even felt a bone-chilling coldness, as if an unmatched sharp sword was pointing at them and about to pierce their skin!

Next to someone's cheek, the hair lifted by the wind silently split in the middle, as if an invisible sword had cut it.

A young man stood in the falling leaves, and in front of him, Yi Hang's body seemed to split in half like a god or demon, and fell slowly to both sides!
