"This power... You’re also at the Inner Power Realm?"

The assassin’s hand went numb, and he couldn’t help but cry out in shock.

*How is this possible?*

Bai Ziyue’s age, he knew clearly, was only fifteen; his strength was supposed to be only at the Peak of External Forging... Yet at this moment, the power he exhibited even surpassed his own.

Furthermore, he also felt Inner Strength from Bai Ziyue.

"Even if you don’t say it, I can roughly guess who you are."

Bai Ziyue snorted coldly, his figure swift as lightning, and he struck quickly.

The long saber slashed out in an instant.

This slash had only one defining trait: speed, reaching the peak of extremity.

It was like a streak of red dust, sweeping down entirely.

The assassin’s heart raced, his Qi and blood surging rapidly, but his scalp couldn’t help but feel numb.

In the face of this slash, his Heart Spirit was completely drawn in, unable to break free, with a constant stream of fear emerging, as if his whole body and mind were surrendering to it.

This slash was too astonishing, too domineering; at this moment, it seemed that anyone faced with this slash would become insignificant, crushed ruthlessly.

"Ha!"

After all, being an Inner Power Realm Martial Artist, the assassin finally broke free from the suppression deep within his heart at the moment the saber light was about to strike, letting out a fierce shout.

Even though this shout became extremely small due to the feeling of separation from life and death, sounding like the faint buzz of a mosquito, it finally allowed him to break free.

The sword light exploded upward directly.

But at this point, it was too late.

The long saber swept down like a boundless wave with a grand force, shattering anything that stood in its way.

Clang!

The long sword broke.

Immediately, Bai Ziyue’s saber, with an unstoppable momentum, slashed down hard.

The assassin didn’t have time to react; he only heard a ’puff’ sound.

On the ground, blood flowed.

It was now extra clear there was a corpse split into two.

"Soul Energy +2755."

Glancing at the amount of Soul Energy, Bai Ziyue didn’t care anymore. He flicked his saber light, directly flipping off the assassin’s mask.

"It really was you."

A trace of realization flashed in Bai Ziyue’s eyes.

Before him was the same middle-aged man he had seen beside Elder Kunn a few days ago at Cyan Mountain with Yaoyao.

Through Wang Erniu, Bai Ziyue had learned that this man was the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden steward, Zhang Yong, whom he had never met.

In fact, he hadn’t confirmed at the time whether this person was their steward.

After all, Zhang Yong held some power within the Sunburst Gang; his status was not low.

Thus, when Zhou Wei planned to return to the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden, although Bai Ziyue had a slight concern, he didn’t voice it.

Unexpectedly, while investigating the assassin today and inquiring about the previous turmoil at Cyan Mountain, Bai Ziyue learned that Zhou Wei was dead, killed by the Nine Seals Palm.

With some regret in his heart, Bai Ziyue was able to fully confirm Zhang Yong’s identity—traitor, or rather, he was actually a member of the Nine Seals Sect.

Naturally, he guessed it was Zhang Yong who had targeted him for assassination.

"Thus, I have avenged Zhou Wei." freēwēbnovel.com

Thinking this in his heart, Bai Ziyue routinely searched Zhang Yong’s body.

Perhaps due to excessive confidence that he could easily resolve Bai Ziyue, Zhang Yong hadn’t kept any personal belongings.

Soon, Bai Ziyue found a few items here and there.

After confirming nothing was left, Bai Ziyue reached out with a slight gesture.

Crackle!

A ball of orange-red flame emerged instantly in the void.

This flame floated on Bai Ziyue’s palm, seemingly without temperature, without even any distortion in the air, but when he gently tossed it.

Boom!

The flame exploded, and within what was almost a blink, Zhang Yong’s body was rapidly engulfed in flames, then gradually turned to ashes.

"Perfection level of spirit fire technique, magic structure perfect, naturally containing its energy.

If not touched, even if just one millimeter from the flame, you wouldn’t feel any heat.

Once touched, the structure is destroyed, instantly turning into a deadly rest symbol, burning everything to ashes."

Bai Ziyue’s eyes flashed, gaining more understanding of the spirit fire technique.

At the perfection level, it was the limit of this spell, but with countless fire attribute spells in the world, naturally, more could be extended from the spirit fire technique.

Creating new magic from it wasn’t impossible either.

"Creating a new magic requires constant accumulation; currently, I am still far from that goal.

However, nowadays, whether it’s the Immortal Cultivation Technique or the magic to ward off enemies, I’ve hit a bottleneck in Immortal Technique development, unable to advance further.

It seems it’s time to meet with my Elder Scholar’s senior brother."

*Even though it was somewhat risky, Bai Ziyue felt a sense of urgency in his heart.*

*This urgency not only stemmed from the stagnation in his Immortal Technique development but also from a piece of news he suddenly heard while gathering information today.*

That was about Huang Guangzhao, who had escaped during the last Cyan Mountain expedition, who was now dead.

*Even though it was said that he died from severe injuries, Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but think of some unpleasant associations.*

Because as far as he knew, Gongg Xinghuo’s identity was not simple.

Especially when he found out that Steward Xuu from the Internal Affairs Hall, who was involved in the Cyan Mountain expedition, also suddenly disappeared without a trace, his worry deepened.

Apart from Zhou Wei and Huang Guangzhao, he was the only survivor from that Cyan Mountain expedition, except for the people of the Nine Seals Sect.

*Vaguely, he always felt that an invisible crisis was about to shroud him.*

"Strength, strength, I still lacked strength."

Bai Ziyue’s eyes flickered. After tidying up, he cleaned the burnout traces on the ground and then carried those things into the room.

After a brief investigation, Bai Ziyue sighed softly.

Zhang Yong must have searched his room.

Fortunately, he had the habit of carrying his things with him, so nothing was discovered.

Then he placed the items obtained from Zhang Yong on the table one by one.

"Identity Token, three hundred taels in silver notes, plus twenty taels in silver, a piece of green jade, and a secret manual."

Bai Ziyue poured out the contents of the other’s money pouch and, after a brief count, felt there wasn’t much to be excited about.

"The Identity Token and green jade are too conspicuous; it’s better to destroy them."

Bai Ziyue murmured to himself, reached out, and picked up the green jade and Zhang Yong’s Identity Token, and then gently tossed them.

At that moment, a mass of orange-red flame appeared out of thin air, transforming into a streak of lightning, directly pursuing the jade and token.

With a sizzling sound, the two items were completely destroyed, reduced to ashes, and vanished on the spot.

"Finally, this secret manual.

’Seven-Star Chasing the Moon,’ it turned out to be a Lightweight Skill. It seemed Zhang Yong had just broken through and selected it for cultivation.

It happened to be suitable for me too."

Bai Ziyue’s eyes lit up; it wasn’t completely fruitless after all.

Currently, his Martial Arts Realm had also broken through to the Inner Power Realm; he originally should be cultivating martial skills that matched it to enhance his combat prowess.

However, because he displayed a rather low level of strength, it was naturally not good to make selections within the Library Pavilion. Moreover, he already possessed the Overlord Saber Technique, which was powerful for the Inner Power Realm, and a similarly powerful Celestial Entwining Hand, so he wasn’t in a rush.

Instead, Lightweight Skill became one of his weaknesses.

After all, although Cloud Soaring Step was good, it was only suitable for use during External Forging and Internal Cultivation; it didn’t provide much advantage when facing martial artists with Inner Strength.

Now, with "Seven-Star Chasing the Moon," his speed would surely increase significantly.

"’Seven-Star Chasing the Moon,’ treading on the Seven Stars, driven by inner strength, pushing speed to the extreme, seemingly capable of chasing stars and the moon... This Light Body Technique is indeed exquisite, not like ordinary stuff such as Grass on the Wind or Light Flying Swallow."

After skimming through it, Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but show a hint of satisfaction on his face.

Bai Ziyue naturally had some understanding of Lightweight Skills.

He knew that Grass on the Wind and Light Flying Swallow were just the most common Lightweight Skills, at most slightly better than Cloud Soaring Step.

But this Seven-Star Chasing the Moon was obviously far superior to Grass on the Wind and other Lightweight Skills.

"However, to truly unleash the extreme speed of this Seven-Star Chasing the Moon, I must advance my strength to that of a Third-class Expert."

Bai Ziyue finished reading the entire Lightweight Skill, slightly furrowing his brow.

Martial artists in training, the Inner Power Realm was just a starting point. Once the inner strength accumulated enough, they would begin to impact the Twelve Main Meridians,

which were divided into the Three Yin Meridians of the Hand, Three Yang Meridians of the Hand, Three Yin Meridians of the Foot, and Three Yang Meridians of the Foot.

To truly make Seven-Star Chasing the Moon exhibit extreme speed akin to lightning, it was necessary to clear the Three Yin Meridians of the Foot and the Three Yang Meridians of the Foot. With the inner strength circulating through these six meridians, the speed could naturally reach its peak.

Such understanding applied to other powerful martial techniques as well.

Once the meridians were cleared, the enhanced smoothness would amplify power greatly.

This was why martial artists who were starting to impact the Twelve Main Meridians were regarded as Third-class Experts.

"Whether the meridians are unobstructed directly determines a martial artist’s strength.

Even the power of martial skills becomes vastly different because of it."

*Bai Ziyue pondered quietly, gaining more insight into the various levels of martial artists.*

For instance, right now, when executing the Overlord Saber Technique, despite the surging inner strength, he could indeed unleash power far exceeding his Inner Cultivation period.

However, because the inner strength surged directly from his flesh into the long sword to unleash its power, there was significant wastage.

Exerting fifty percent of the full strength could be considered good, not to mention the surging inner strength causing some damage to his flesh.

But once the meridian obstructions were breached, with the Three Yin Meridians of the Hand and the Three Yang Meridians of the Hand unobstructed, the inner strength would flow through the meridians, reducing wastage while also increasing and intensifying the inner strength influx, thus making the erupted power far greater."
