“`

They did not sense any signs of battle.

A glance swept over Xu Family’s residence, where Xu Yan’s parents were cultivating. Half of the family’s guards were on duty while the other half were also cultivating, all safe and sound.

“Is Xu Yan in the Capital City?”

Li Xuan’s brow furrowed.

The Capital City was too far from Donghe County. Even if he rushed there with all his might, the battle would be over by the time he arrived, with the outcome already decided.

“Should I go to the Capital City?”

Li Xuan hesitated.

Xu Yan was his prized disciple and, with his current strength, he could wipe out Xu Yan’s formidable enemies with a wave of his hand.

But the Capital City was distant, and if Xu Yan were to be defeated, he’d be too late to come to the rescue even if he wanted to.

“Your disciple Xu Yan, in the midst of a fierce battle, has broken through to the second level of the Descending Dragon Palm, reaching great proficiency with the second level of your Descending Dragon Palm.”

The Golden Finger’s feedback came again.

Li Xuan was stunned. The second level of Descending Dragon Palm?

He immediately rejoiced; his disciple was commendable, managing to forcefully elevate the stage of the Descending Dragon Palm. Now that there was a second level, could there also be a third, fourth, fifth level…?

The second level of the Descending Dragon Palm has begun to embody some of Dragon’s Might Intent, igniting the “fury” within the palm force, greatly augmenting the power of the Descending Dragon Palm!

Moreover, the dragon-shaped palm force of the Descending Dragon Palm also became more solidified and took on more of a dragon’s likeness.

“If Xu Yan can have such an epiphany amid fierce battle, doesn’t it mean he is not incapable of facing the enemy? Having grasped the second level of Descending Dragon Palm, he should not be defeated, right?”

Li Xuan pondered.

“Is Xu Yan really in the Capital City, or has he gone somewhere else?

“Are his opponents from this world’s martial artists, or creatures like Flame-Mane Wolves?”

Li Xuan leaned toward the former.

“Did Emperor Qi find the martial artist? Or did Xu Yan get involved with the mortal world, hence someone from the Martial Dao Realm came targeting Xu Yan?”

Li Xuan’s brows tightened in thought.

“With my current strength, what level of martial artist do I belong to in the Martial Dao Realm?”

“What is the Martial Dao of this world like?”

Li Xuan stared down at the Xu Family residence below, silently waiting.

Up to now, there was still no commotion within the Xu Family estate.

That meant no urgent news had come from the Capital City.

“I’ll return and have Shi’er use the Tianmu Sect’s intelligence network to find out what’s happening in the Capital City.”

Li Xuan made up his mind.

He then turned and went back to Yunshan County.

…

As Xue Wuxin hastened toward Yunshan County, the hundred miles seemed to empty him even further, even causing him to breathe heavily.

But he dared not stop.

Xu Yan was pursuing him from behind. Once he descended from the sky and slowed down, he would be in danger if he were caught.

His injuries were relapsing.

“Damn it all! I’ve reached the Border Wilderness, yet still so wretched!

“No, even more wretched than when I was in the Inner Realm.”

Xue Wuxin was filled with anger and frustration, his eyes flickering with bloodthirsty light.

“Once I perform a blood sacrifice of the city and devour the vital blood to recover my strength, I will take your life for sure!” Xue Wuxin thought viciously to himself.

A small city appeared in his field of vision ahead.

“This city isn’t large, only about tens of thousands of people. Sacrificing it should restore about eighty to ninety percent of my strength.”

A bloodthirsty gleam grew in Xue Wuxin’s eyes.

“There shouldn’t be any strong warriors in such a small city.”

He was also puzzled. On his escape route from the Inner Realm, he had encountered a troop in the mountains, one of whom was a son of Minister of War from Qi Country.

Given his status, there surely should have been protectors who were strong warriors.

Why was there not a single martial artist among that troop?

And how soon after emerging from the mountains had he encountered an incredibly powerful individual? Was it merely coincidence?

Perhaps there were no martial artists in the Border Wilderness, and that individual was an exception?

Xue Wuxin was puzzled.

Now was not the time for probing; recovering from his injuries and restoring his strength was the priority.

He flew directly over Yunshan County.

His sharp senses immediately detected many vigorous individuals in the county, their vitality matching those he had devoured in the mountains.

“What is that place?”

Suddenly, Xue Wuxin sensed a robust vitality.

Within this county, this single vitality seemed more vigorous than all the people in the entire county, stirring a strong craving in him.

“A martial artist!”

He was shocked in his heart.

There actually was a martial artist in this small county!

In the Border Wilderness, where the Heavenly Earth Lingji had faded, there shouldn’t exist any martial artists!

“`

He concentrated, trying to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but he couldn’t sense anything.

The Heavenly Earth Lingji had not recovered and was still in a state of dissipation.

“Why would there be a martial artist?”

Xue Wuxin thought of the young man he had fought with, whose cultivation technique was extremely special and different from those in the Inner Domain.

“No matter, once I devour this martial artist’s vitality, I will recover.

“Once I’ve regained my Grandmaster strength, I won’t believe that this Wasteland can still have a warrior on par with a Grandmaster.”

A Grandmaster level martial artist is also among the top powerhouses in the Inner Domain.

It is absolutely impossible for a Grandmaster powerhouse to appear in the Wasteland.

“This martial artist is much weaker, and shouldn’t be difficult to deal with.”

Xue Wuxin was exceedingly excited.

With a movement, he arrived above the small courtyard and saw Meng Chong.

Looking at the bald, shiny head, and the muscular, robust Meng Chong, Xue Wuxin’s eyes revealed a greedy and pleasant surprise.

“Such vigorous vitality, although not as good as that boy’s, my injuries will definitely recover after devouring his essence blood, and my strength will return to its peak.

“After killing that boy and devouring his essence blood, I won’t be too far from breaking through to the Great Grandmaster!”

The more Xue Wuxin thought about it, the more excited he became.

Once he broke through to become a Great Grandmaster, let alone the Wasteland, even in the Inner Domain, he wouldn’t fear anyone.

Great Grandmaster, that is the pinnacle of the Inner Realm Martial Arts!

“Devour his essence blood!”

To avoid any long night filled with dreams, Xue Wuxin immediately made his move.

He hadn’t forgotten that Xu Yan was chasing him in this direction, and he needed to devour the boy before the other party arrived.

As long as he refined the boy’s essence blood and his injuries recovered, he would let that boy know what Grandmaster’s might was.

With a flick of his finger, a strand of Blood Devouring Ghost Silk shot out, heading straight for the heart.

Meng Chong was cultivating, and he had already perfected his Bronze Bone.

The strength of his Golden Bell Body was growing even stronger, and he was only a step away from reaching Gold Bone.

However, Meng Chong felt a bottleneck in this step and seemed unable to break through to Gold Bone for a while.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat!

A sense of danger!

Where did this danger come from?

Before Meng Chong could detect the source of the danger, something suddenly pricked his chest, and an extremely cold breath penetrated into his heart.

With this cold breath entering, his heartbeat violently accelerated, blood rushing out hastily, creating a storm of vitality within his body.

It was like a drop of water in a hot oil pan.

As the storm of blood swept through, the previously stagnant Bronze Bone, unable to continue tempering, suddenly loosened under the intense impact of blood force.

“What is this?”

Meng Chong was shocked. What on earth was this cold thread?

Following the thread, he saw Xue Wuxin standing in the air.

This instant, Meng Chong’s scalp tingled and his heart tightened!

“An Innate Realm martial artist? Where did this Innate Realm martial artist come from, isn’t Qi Country devoid of martial artists?

“Didn’t my senior brother alone sweep through the Divine Might Army and stomp over the Qi royal family?”

This mysterious warrior clearly bore malicious intent!

The thread at his chest was a fatal attack, and only because he practiced the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, which was incredibly strong defensively, did it not penetrate his heart.

It just pierced a little bit of skin?

Meng Chong threw a punch and directly shattered the thread.

“Where did Master go?”

Meng Chong was sweating profusely with anxiety.

He hadn’t even entered the door yet, how could he possibly be a match for that guy in midair?

Where is Master?

Master had just left and had not returned yet.

Did the opponent take advantage of Master’s absence to come and kill him?

“Could it be, a killer sent by the Emperor of Wu?”

In an instant, Meng Chong thought of the Emperor of Wu.

He was on Wu Country’s most-wanted list, with a bounty of one hundred thousand taels of gold on his head!

Xue Wuxin in midair, however, was utterly shocked.

Although the previously shot Blood Devouring Ghost Silk was not his full power, it could penetrate even stone!

Yet, the Blood Devouring Ghost Silk failed to enter the heart of the bald-headed young man below!

It had merely pierced his skin a bit?

He began to find this Wasteland extremely odd and even somewhat terrifying.

Random encounters here were with bizarrely powerful individuals.

This one had a physical constitution so strong, it was truly unfathomable!

“I must finish this quickly!”

Xue Wuxin’s fingers flicked continuously, and two Blood Devouring Ghost Silks burst out.
