I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 172 - 143: Another Promotion (Part 3)

In this situation, Qin Yuesheng no longer remained a bystander. With a flick of his wrist, a wave of Inner Strength carried a flying dagger straight towards Situ Xing's hand.

Whoosh!

Situ Xing's expression changed instantly. He hurriedly gave up his action of slapping Huangling, leaped aside, and dodged the path of the flying dagger.

Bam!

The flying dagger embedded its handle into a stone, showing its sharpness, so sharp that even the stone couldn't block it.

Qin Yuesheng pushed the soldiers in front aside and strode out of the crowd, proudly proclaiming, "In Cyan Yang City, public brawling is forbidden. You have violated the rules."

From that flying dagger, even without direct contact, Situ Xing could feel the profound and unfathomable Inner Strength of the opponent.

Seeing the group of soldiers behind Qin Yuesheng, he reckoned they were from the authorities. As the saying goes, "A chivalrous person does not fight with officials." Situ Xing did not want to become a wanted criminal, so he apologetically said, "I will leave now."

Saying this, he rushed towards Zhangqiu Mountain, intending to subdue him and leave Cyan Yang City together. Once in a secluded place, he planned to kill them to avenge his pupil.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Situ Xing—it was Qin Yuesheng.

As Situ Xing moved, Qin Yuesheng stepped out as well, far quicker than Situ Xing, blocking him before he could grab Zhangqiu Mountain.

"I said you violated the rules," Qin Yuesheng said with an innocent smile. "Those who violate rules in Cyan Yang City must be jailed."

Situ Xing's face was as dark as water, sensing that this young man was intentionally making things difficult for him.

"Young brother, this isn't my first time in Cyan Yang City. Where in the law does it say that?"

Qin Yuesheng said calmly, "Because it's a rule I just made, effective immediately."

"You're courting death!" Situ Xing erupted, abandoning Huangling. As he wiped his left hand on his right and vice versa, a pair of gold-threaded gloves appeared on his hands, fitting so snugly they seemed to merge with his skin.

As he moved, a layer of faint golden aura emerged from his palms, as if they were glowing, with unknown mysteries hidden within.

Qin Yuesheng was unfazed. He infused Inner Strength into his hands and aimed to seize Situ Xing's wrists. At the moment their palms touched, Qin Yuesheng felt a sharp edge cutting through his Inner Strength and slicing into his hand.

Even though Qin Yuesheng had attained Outer Forging Perfection, a blood mark appeared on his skin immediately.

"Interesting." Ignoring the small wound, Qin Yuesheng grabbed the opponent's wrist and began to smash him to the ground in place.

With the strength of Situ Xing, he was by no means a match for Qin Yuesheng. He was like a rootless duckweed, lifted high and slammed into the ground repeatedly by Qin Yuesheng.

Luckily, Situ Xing also had Outer Forging Perfection. Otherwise, just from Qin Yuesheng's barrage, he would have been smashed to death at the first strike.

Once he recovered, Situ Xing immediately expelled all his Inner Strength, using a burst of power to shake off Qin Yuesheng's hand.

"Star-Shattering Hand!" Situ Xing swung his palms at Qin Yuesheng, and immediately two surges of Inner Strength enveloped Qin Yuesheng's body. The two surges were vastly different—one pulling his body forward, the other pulling it backward.

In this tug of war, Qin Yuesheng's body felt like it was being torn apart. If it weren't for his Inner Strength, he might have been ripped in half in an instant by these opposing forces.

Qin Yuesheng immediately drew the refined iron saber from his waist and slashed out with a Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber technique.

Having mastered this top-tier skill, the saber aura of the Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber surged to over thirty feet. With that slash, it was as if a Celestial Divinity was wielding the blade, affecting the entire street, with a tremendously impactful visual effect.

Boom!

Situ Xing couldn't withstand Qin Yuesheng's slash at all. Instantly, his sleeves shattered, and he flew backwards, vomiting blood.

From an aerial view, one could see a three-foot-long saber mark clearly imprinted on the ground of the street in Cyan Yang City, with Situ Xing lying midway in the mark, his arms trembling violently and unable to get up for a while.

All of Qin Yuesheng's strength was channeled into Situ Xing through the saber aura. With just that strike, countless meridians in Situ Xing's body broke. Without some time to heal, he wouldn't regain his previous strength.

Tossing a glance at Xun Sheng hiding among the soldiers, Qin Yuesheng didn't need to give any instructions. Xun Sheng immediately responded by ordering, "Arrest this rule-breaking outlaw and take him to the yamen!"

With his current injuries, even if a three-year-old child stood over him and urinated, Situ Xing would have no power to resist, let alone trained soldiers.

As Situ Xing's limp body was lifted from the ground, a soldier dragged him towards the yamen, intending to imprison him first.

"Are you two alright?" Qin Yuesheng sheathed his saber and walked towards Zhangqiu Mountain and Huangling to ask.

Zhangqiu Mountain hadn't fought with Situ Xing, so he wasn't injured. Huangling, however, had some external and internal injuries from when Situ Xing's grip penetrated into him.

"Thank you, officer," Huangling quickly cupped his fists in thanks to Qin Yuesheng.

Zhangqiu Mountain also hurriedly cupped his fists.

Last time, Qin Yuesheng's appearance was too peculiar, causing these two, now seeing him in ordinary attire, to completely fail to recognize him. Qin Yuesheng was happy to keep it that way and pretended it was their first meeting.
