Venerable Demon Chef
Chapter 321 - 318: The Return of the King (4)
The Huangfu Brothers came to their senses and exchanged a look, their expressions priceless.
"You’re just in the Early-stage Vajra Realm. Who gave you the audacity to make such bold claims?" Huangfu Jun said, sizing Mo Qi up.
That was right. The aura the External Incarnation now exuded had reached the Vajra Realm!
"That fatty outside with the Vajra Realm Cultivation is currently nailed to a cliff wall. If you know what’s good for you, I can give you a quick death and spare you from physical torment!"
Mo Qi frowned. He knew, of course, that his External Incarnation alone was no match for the Huangfu Brothers.
The reason he had given a half-hour time limit was because his main body needed that much time to return.
As an External Incarnation, he wasn’t afraid of Huangfu Jun’s threats.
However, not being able to immediately kill these two arrogant pricks really pissed Mo Qi off.
’In that case, I’ll just play with you two for a while.’
"Do you know the secret of this Cultivation Room?" Mo Qi asked suddenly, the corners of his lips turning up into a smile.
Huangfu Jun had expected Mo Qi to either keep up the tough talk or beg for mercy in fear. He never imagined Mo Qi would change his tune so suddenly and ask such a completely irrelevant question.
Huangfu Yu’s expression turned grave. While he also found Mo Qi’s words ridiculous, he refused to underestimate him.
’For two super-geniuses like Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang to follow him so loyally, for the Mountain and Sea Empire to protect him at all costs—even to the point of turning against our Huangfu Family... Even if Qin Daye is just from the Mortal District, he must have some extraordinary qualities.’
’Not to mention, he even conquered Liu Ruyan, making Liu Hong see him in a new light.’
’Perhaps even that pill capable of reviving the dead was his creation!’
’All of this indicated that this person, Qin Daye, was anything but simple!’
BOOM!
Just then, the door to the Cultivation Room slammed shut, and an array activated.
Huangfu Yu and Huangfu Jun immediately felt that something was wrong. They found they were unable to use their True Essence or Power of the Soul. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
They couldn’t even connect with their Grotto Heavens, let alone manifest them.
In other words, all they could rely on now was their own physical strength.
"Hmph, you think this is enough to beat us?" Huangfu Jun snorted coldly. "It’s not that I look down on you people from the Mortal District, but when it comes to fighting technique, you’re about this much."
As he spoke, he held out his pinky finger.
"Is that so?" Mo Qi chuckled. Without any preparation, he started walking casually toward Huangfu Jun.
"Then I’ll have to properly experience the methods of your Hall of Envoys."
"You’re courting death!" Huangfu Jun moved, lunging forward and throwing a punch at Mo Qi.
It seemed to be a simple, unskilled punch, but it actually concealed a profound technique.
Not to be outdone, Mo Qi threw a punch to meet it.
THUD!
The two fists collided, creating a muffled sound like a beaten drum.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
After the initial impact, three more muffled thuds echoed, one after another, like surging waves, each stronger than the last.
Looking back at the two fighters, Mo Qi remained motionless, his punching form unbroken.
Huangfu Jun’s expression faltered, and he took a step back.
Clearly, he had fallen behind after just one exchange.
"The Dark Force Vibrating Power... How do you know that?!!"
Huangfu Jun was astounded. As far as he knew, the fighting styles of cultivators from the Mortal District were completely unsophisticated.
Their so-called combat techniques were all about fancy moves, neglecting the subtle application of force itself.
For example, when throwing a punch, a cultivator from the Mortal District would, at best, only practice improving its force, angle, and timing.
But the level of combat Huangfu Jun was exposed to was different. His punches focused more on the application of power and its destructive potential.
For instance, Stacking Force, Dark Force, Heavy Force, Shattering Force, and the like.
In his opinion, no matter how rationally designed or unpredictable the movements were, they could never withstand a truly fatal strike.
The Dark Force Vibrating Power was precisely such a technique for applying force.
It involved concealing a force in the form of waves within a strike. This force would bypass defenses, travel directly to the enemy’s weak points, and then erupt with vibrations, inflicting devastating damage before the target even knew what was happening.
This technique for applying force was incredibly stealthy and impossible to defend against, which was why it was also known as Dark Force.
Huangfu Jun had thought he could finish Mo Qi with a single punch and teach him a lesson. Who would have imagined that Mo Qi also knew the Dark Force Vibrating Power, and that his mastery of it was clearly superior to his own?
’How is this possible?!’
"You can’t even handle a mere three-layered vibration, and you talk to me like that?" Mo Qi extended his pinky, mimicking the earlier gesture.
He had actually learned the Dark Force Vibrating Power from Shi Hao back in the day.
And through his own development, his limit wasn’t three layers of vibrations, but six!
Huangfu Jun was so furious he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
If not for the fact that he couldn’t use any power beyond the physical in this Fighting Cultivation Room, he would have summoned his Grotto Heaven and crushed Mo Qi to a pulp.
"Here, you take one of my punches!"
Mo Qi violently stomped his foot on the ground.
RUMBLE!
The entire Cultivation Room began to shake violently, the tremendous sound echoing endlessly as Mo Qi vanished from where he stood.
The External Incarnation was a creature of pure power. Its Obsidian substance, transformed by the Chaos Scripture, had become indestructible.
Furthermore, with the weakness of Mo Qi’s main body now gone, his cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds, which in turn caused the External Incarnation to break through as well.
Other Vajra Realm Cultivators relied primarily on their True Essence, with their physical bodies as secondary, to achieve their overall Vajra Realm strength.
The External Incarnation, however, possessed Vajra Realm-level strength based on pure physical power alone.
"Not good! Jun, move!" Huangfu Yu cried out, seeing the terrifying power of Mo Qi’s attack, but it was too late.
Huangfu Jun raised a fist to counter, colliding with Mo Qi once more.
THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!
This time, there were six muffled impacts.
By the third impact, Huangfu Jun’s fist was knocked aside, leaving his chest wide open. The remaining three layers of the Dark Force Vibrating Power struck him squarely.
PTHOO—
Even with his Void Realm physique, Huangfu Jun was still struck so hard by Mo Qi that he spat up blood.
This was a testament to the immense power of the External Incarnation.
"You’re courting death!" Huangfu Jun roared, furious, and tried to fight back.
But Mo Qi gave him no such chance. Having wounded Huangfu Jun with a punch, he pressed his advantage mercilessly, following up by planting his foot on Huangfu Jun’s face and viciously stomping him to the ground.
"The Hall of Envoys? A big deal, are they?"
The words reached his ears, and he could clearly feel the imprint of Mo Qi’s sole on his face. Huangfu Jun was so enraged that he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
"I heard you were the one who nailed San Pang to the cliff wall?"
Mo Qi stomped down hard, driving Huangfu Jun’s entire head into the floor.
But Huangfu Jun, after all, had the foundation of the Void Realm. It was easy to injure him, but nearly impossible to kill him.
"Heh, your face is pretty thick. You’ve already scraped right through the floor with it."
When had Huangfu Jun ever suffered such humiliation? He gritted his teeth and roared, "If you have any guts, let me go! We can have a fair fight outside!"
"A fair fight?" Mo Qi laughed. "Don’t make me laugh. I’m sixteen years old. May I ask, are you thirty or forty, uncle?"
