Chapter 14: The Golden Body of Heavenly Dryness
When Elder Qin appeared at the hospital, Tang Xuan knew this trouble had to be dealt with. He no longer had the patience to continue playing along with Huang Fei.
Although both Tang Xuan and Elder Qin were at the Thunder Shock Realm, Elder Qin had no chance of winning. Tang Xuan’s Thunder Shock Realm power was limited by his frail body, which could only sustain that level, whereas Elder Qin was at that level simply because he had no higher strength. The gap between them was like the difference between clouds and mud.
“I’m here. Do you still have a choice?” Tang Xuan sneered at Elder Qin’s arrogant demeanor. These old men always liked to pretend to be profound, speaking with their eyes closed as if they were unfathomable.
“Find a place to fight?” Elder Qin chuckled derisively. He hadn’t expected this guy to be so foolish as to dare to come at him directly. But this suited Elder Qin’s plan perfectly—he wanted Tang Xuan to understand that there were always stronger people beyond.
“You think killing Zhou Zhuoyi makes you invincible?” Elder Qin’s expression darkened. “Kill you, and Huang Fei will have to leave.”
“If you’re so ungrateful, then come with me if you dare!” Tang Xuan prepared to follow him.
Zhao Ran grabbed Tang Xuan’s hand. “Sixteen, are you really going?”
Tang Xuan smiled faintly. “If I don’t kill this kind of trash, more trouble will come. It’s time to make them quiet.”
Leaving the hospital, Tang Xuan followed behind Elder Qin.
“Clueless and foolish to the extreme,” Elder Qin muttered.
“Enough with the nonsense,” Tang Xuan responded flatly.
They arrived at an abandoned alleyway. Elder Qin said, “Kneel now and beg me, and there’s still time.”
Even if Tang Xuan knelt, Elder Qin would never spare him. He only wanted to humiliate Tang Xuan and show off his strength in front of him.
“Are you all this talkative because you’re old now?” Tang Xuan mocked.
“Don’t take me lightly, or you’ll pay with blood!” Elder Qin’s clothes billowed as if stirred by an unseen wind, and a powerful pressure filled the alley.
A golden thread, like a soaring dragon, darted rapidly from his brow.
This was known as the Yellow Dragon Qi.
Those who reach the Thunder Shock Realm cultivate a trace of Yellow Dragon Qi within. Only then can they be called true warriors. Telekinesis and other extraordinary abilities are hallmarks of Thunder Shock Realm masters.
Countless stones hovered in the air, turning into lethal weapons.
Elder Qin grinned fiercely. “Boy, have you ever seen the methods of a Thunder Shock Realm master?”
“Hahaha!”
In Elder Qin’s eyes, Tang Xuan should have been trembling and begging for mercy. Instead, his face was unusually calm, even disdainful.
Had he misjudged him?
He was completely unfazed by such astonishing skills!
“Trivial tricks,” Tang Xuan said.
“Let me show you what a real strongman is.”
No sooner had he spoken than Tang Xuan’s face was covered in a dazzling golden light.
In moments, the golden radiance enveloped his entire body like a war god.
The flying stones disintegrated into dust.
Elder Qin’s eyes were filled with shock.
“You… you are a Half-God of Innate Origin!”
At this moment, Tang Xuan indeed displayed the power of the Heavenly Qian Stage.
But this frail body could only maintain that state for a minute at most; otherwise, it would shatter.
He did this to end the fight quickly.
“Have you ever seen the Heavenly Qian Golden Body?”
Run!
That was the only thought left in Elder Qin’s mind.
Before a Heavenly Qian master, he had no chance of survival.
If he didn’t flee now, it would be too late.
Suddenly, Elder Qin found his body unresponsive, unable to move.
“Young master, I’m a servant of the Tang family.”
“Young master, as long as you don’t kill me, Qin Feng is willing to serve you like a beast of burden.”
“Young master, give me a chance to kneel and admit my mistake.”
As Tang Xuan steadily approached, Qin Feng nearly broke down.
He hadn’t expected that the boy he once regarded as ordinary was actually a Half-God of Innate Origin.
“Young master, I don’t want to die!”
As Tang Xuan came close, Qin Feng began bleeding from all orifices.
“Young master, please spare me a way out.”
Qin Feng deeply regretted coming; he was on the verge of breaking through the Thunder Shock Realm and was unwilling to die so easily.
“Do you still have a choice?”
Golden light burst from Tang Xuan’s eyes.
Qin Feng’s pupils dilated instantly, and his limbs stiffened.
As the golden light faded, Qin Feng’s lifeless body crashed heavily to the ground, eyes wide open in death.
Tang Xuan’s body was covered in fine cracks, fragile as glass about to shatter.
“I need to quickly help Xiao Xuan adapt to the power of the Yellow Dragon Qi. This body is too weak.”
Shortly after leaving the alley, a middle-aged man entered with a grave expression, pushing an elderly man in a wheelchair.
The middle-aged man was Li Meng, head of the Li family in Jiang City.
The Li clan held a top-tier position in Jiang City, even higher than the Huang family.
Li Qin, the clan’s founder, was renowned throughout the region.
“That aura just now came from here,” Li Meng said, pushing Li Qin closer to Qin Feng’s corpse.
After squatting down for careful inspection, Li Meng looked up in horror.
“Father, this man was a late-stage Thunder Shock Realm expert!”
Li Qin was shocked. “To think such a master exists in Jiang City, and even late-stage Thunder Shock Realm fighters are no match for him!”
Li Meng took a deep breath, struggling to believe it, but the facts were undeniable.
“Can you sense what realm that aura was roughly from?”
Li Meng shook his head. The aura was simply terrifying.
Suddenly, Li Qin’s eyes gleamed sharply.
“Could it be… the one who cured Huang Long?”
News of Huang Long’s recovery had not been widely publicized; the Huang family had deliberately kept it secret.
But Li Qin’s status meant there was nothing in Jiang City unknown to him.
Li Qin, paralyzed in his legs for years, had left the Li family today to personally visit Huang Long and request an introduction to the healer.
Li Meng said, “Impossible. The person who cured Huang Long is very young; how could he possess such formidable power?”
Li Qin said solemnly, “The sudden appearance of such a strong master in Jiang City means unrest. The Li family must be cautious in future affairs.”
“Tell the younger generation of the Li family to keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble.”
“Father, rest assured, I will strictly oversee them.”
Li Qin nodded. “Let’s go to the Huang family. I will personally intervene; Huang Long won’t dare refuse me.”
Li Meng smiled faintly. “Huang Long has been suppressed by the Li family for so many years; he surely resents it, but when he sees you, he will have no choice but to bow.”
Li Qin smiled proudly. “If my legs could be restored, the Li family’s status would rise even higher.”
Li Meng was filled with hope. He believed his father would recover.
Huang Long dared not refuse.
As for the healer, given the Li family’s status, he had no right to refuse either.
