Faced with the demands of the two individuals, Old Master Zhao conceded and came up with a solution. At that time, due to birth control policies and the rampant trade of children in remote and backward areas, the Zhao family capitalized on their prosperity, buying what they desired with money. This inhuman and evil practice persists even today, despite the Zhao family’s extensive influence spanning several provinces and being known across the nation.

Under the sunlight, all is good; in the darkness, all are evil souls!

Li Yifei was oblivious to the relationship between the Zhao family and the dark mist in front, as well as the Second Elder who was meditating nearby. The Great Elder had cultivated for so many years that he had long become something neither human nor ghost.

The martial arts technique they acquired manifested differently for men and women due to physical reasons. It could be considered as two different techniques. Tracing its origins back to the Five Dynasties and Ten States era, the Lingnan region was then infested with demons and malevolent spirits, with various strange creatures abounding. People thus devised methods of cultivation through consuming blood, causing havoc until great powers banded together to eradicate them, eventually driving them into a cave, where they died. These two individuals, upon acquiring the technique, focused solely on cultivation without considering the consequences.

Indeed, once cultivated, the technique cannot be halted, except by death or... reaching the founder’s mysterious realm, i.e., the Indescribable Realm. However, for practitioners of dark arts to enter the Indescribable Realm, it’s both difficult yet easy. These two have yet to find the way, turning into what they are now instead.

Of course, neither have given up; they each have their calculations. Upon receiving news today of a formidable enemy approaching, the two emerged from their cave. Upon seeing Li Yifei, the Great Elder initially scoffed. Even though he was an Innate Expert, he was no match for them, as they were truly powerful.

But during the confrontation, the Great Elder realized Li Yifei was certainly a successor of great powers. Although these great powers might have faded, their inheritance remained. How could he be so formidable at such a young age? Upon tasting Li Yifei’s blood, the Great Elder suddenly felt exhilarated. The taste was something she hadn’t savored in decades—it was Innate Expert’s blood. If she could completely absorb him, wouldn’t her stalled cultivation advance significantly, perhaps even breakthrough to that Indescribable Realm, achieving longevity? According to her knowledge, no one on Earth might have reached the Indescribable Realm nowadays. If she achieved it, who could defy her?

At that point, wouldn’t she do as she pleased, freed from the confines of that eerie cave, restoring her youth, no longer becoming a monster...

So, she intended to drain Li Yifei, showing her current hideous monstrous form unhesitatingly, emitting continuous eerie laughter while salivating at the sight of Li Yifei amidst the dark mist.

Li Yifei felt like prey under the gaze of a beast. Suddenly, he felt a lightness of body, the strange sensation disappearing. The monster in front had withdrawn its domain.

"Ha ha!" Li Yifei laughed with his head held high. Although unsure of the opponent’s rationale, without the domain, his speed would recover. What then did he have to fear?

The Great Elder, unable to maintain her domain, was resigned but unfazed; the dark mist being her true protective energy, sinister and powerful. Given its nature, its effects were astonishing. At this moment, the Great Elder’s combat capabilities were greatly amplified, with substantial enhancements across all areas under the dark mist’s aegis.

Li Yifei sensed this too but was equally unfazed, gathering True Qi Blade within his hands. Under its white glow, his protective armor surfaced. With the long blade pointing forward, Li Yifei declared, "I have no qualms about killing a person, let alone a monster! Come, let’s see how many strikes you can withstand from me!"

Members of the Zhao Family were trembling. Though experienced, witnessing the current scenario, panic was inevitable. Their faith-like Great Elder had morphed into a monster, whereas Li Yifei, who intruded, was not only undefeated but repeatedly displayed super strength. His seemingly endless True Qi Blade appeared like a relentless barrage. Was he a Super Saiyan, such savagery?

With the imminent clash, Zhao Family Young Generation retreated, suddenly sensing the overwhelming force the two in the arena exuded, pressing many to such an extent they could hardly stand. Safety lay only in distance.

Supported by the steward, Old Master Zhao also needed to retreat, both aware that the Great Elder’s domain had been withdrawn, signifying she’s ready to fight fiercely.

Forcing the Great Elder to such desperation and aiming to fight Li Yifei desperately, was a testament to his might. At this moment, Old Master Zhao lamented that Zhao the Second provoked such a formidable enemy. He was dead now, but if alive, Old Master Zhao would have preferred to kill Zhao the Second personally!

Seconds later, Li Yifei moved. Unrestrained by the domain’s power limitations, Li Yifei displayed his swift movements, ghost-like rapidity, his silhouette flickering. He maximized his abilities, knowing that a tough battle awaited.

Yet, when had he ever feared a tough battle? As a soldier, he was always ready to fight when summoned, and victory never made him arrogant.

Boom! With a loud noise, Li Yifei shattered a True Qi Blade, and the black Qi surrounding the Great Elder seemed to be blown open by the wind, but it quickly condensed again.

"Let’s see if your black Qi is more, or my True Qi is more!" Li Yifei shouted angrily, slashing forward with the True Qi Blade in his left hand.

"Hehehe! I also want to know how much True Qi you have!" The Great Elder said evilly.

Li Yifei rotated the blade, unleashing a set of blade moves. The traversing blade Qi wove into a large net, rushing towards the Great Elder. The latter swung both claws, quickly tearing the net apart, limbs exerting force, rushing over with a whoosh. Li Yifei dodged sideways, kicking out a foot.

This kick landed on the Great Elder, but his pant leg was also scorched by black Qi, even some hair got burned off, but it didn’t hurt much since Li Yifei’s Protective True Energy was still active.

At this moment, the inner True Qi reserve was roughly two-fifths full, still okay, having gone through so many battles, Li Yifei wasn’t anxious. And this foot, Li Yifei didn’t know where it kicked the monster, just felt it was extremely hard.

Under the great force, the Great Elder flew horizontally, crashing into a stone statue in the middle of the square with a booming sound. The statue was shattered by the Great Elder, fragments fell down, the Great Elder rolled around twice on the ground, apparently not expecting Li Yifei’s kick to be so powerful, but she wasn’t injured much, rolling around twice and immediately bouncing up.

The Zhao Family young generation saw their family’s statue shattered, and their faces twisted. The statue was donated by a deceased chief after the Zhao Family rose, always kept as a treasure, even when some important figures came to visit the Zhao Family, they would be led to see the statue.

The Zhao Family young generation suddenly felt like the sky was falling, but Old Master Zhao didn’t care about a statue. Though it was true the statue was given by a big figure, a broken statue could be rebuilt. If Li Yifei won today, would the Zhao Family still have the chance to rebuild this sculpture?

The Great Elder rushed over again, her speed equally fast, of course, her realm was there, her speed couldn’t be slow.

Coming back again? Li Yifei dissipated the two True Qi Blades, but instead of condensing them again, he suddenly had an idea, using the method to condense True Qi Blades, he condensed two things similar to gauntlets on his hands. After trying, he found it indeed worked well, thus Li Yifei had two True Qi gauntlets.

"Take my punch!" Li Yifei clenched his fist, seeing the opponent rushing over, he waved a swing punch.

The opponent transformed into this form, increasing resistance to strikes, strength, speed, everything else was increasing, but one thing was weakening, that was the brain. At this moment, the Great Elder had only one goal, to kill Li Yifei!

This punch struck on the Great Elder, directly shattering the gauntlet, the Great Elder flew horizontally, but Li Yifei didn’t stop. Instead, he kept stepping on the ground, followed up quickly, and the other hand punched upward. The Great Elder stomped her feet in the black mist, Li Yifei twisted his head, right hand twisted out another gauntlet, punching again.

The Zhao Family people watched, eyes almost breaking, in their eyes, the already monster-like Great Elder was still not Li Yifei’s match. Human...monster in midair, Li Yifei still chased up, punch...punch...another punch...

The series of strikes accompanied by thumping sounds, Li Yifei seemed to have endless True Qi, continuously heavy punches hit the Great Elder, and in the same place. At first, the Great Elder could withstand it, but after several hits, she let out a miserable wail, terribly tragic.

Li Yifei finally landed on the ground, the Great Elder also fell to the ground, Li Yifei’s left hand was bleeding profusely, it was eroded by black Qi. Even if he condensed gauntlets quickly, there were still gaps, so Li Yifei’s hand inevitably bled, of course, the other hand didn’t fare much better.

Looking at the Great Elder fallen on the ground, Li Yifei spat out foul air, just as the worm reminded him, Li Yifei’s body now inhaled a lot of black Qi, the worm was absorbing the black Qi, but it would still take some time to resolve the black Qi.

At this moment, Li Yifei chuckled, walked over with big strides, clenched his fist, condensed a gauntlet, mustered his strength, and smashed it down on the Great Elder’s head.
