The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

Two fists, one large and one small, smashed together!

BOOM! A thunderous roar echoed. Immediately, blasts of Qi Force flew out, sweeping across a radius of several hundred yards like a hurricane. The force stirred up ripples in the air and carried a terrifying impact that pulverized every flower and plant in its path!

"Well now, your Physical Strength isn’t half-bad!"

A glint of surprise flashed in Liuu Ruohai’s eyes. For that punch, he hadn’t used any True Essence, profound mysteries, or even a Martial Skill. It was pure Physical Strength!

He never imagined Qin Ya would also respond with pure physical power.

And he had actually managed to block it!!

Even though that punch had only contained thirty percent of his strength, it wasn’t something an ordinary King could block. Yet this seemingly frail boy had actually managed to stop it!

"Ha! Not bad, not bad at all!"

Liuu Ruohai laughed heartily, clenched his fist, and channeled even more power. The muscles on his arm bulged like small hills, and thick veins coiled beneath his skin like dormant dragons.

His strength increased by another twenty percent!

Not to be outdone, Qin Ya mobilized all the Qi and Blood in his body and condensed it in his fist. As the immense Qi and Blood gathered, it actually formed wisps of blood-red mist around his knuckles.

It emanated an incredibly domineering power.

This was the physical Secret Skill... Overlord Fist!

The power in their clashing fists surged, their elbows bending slightly. A terrifying shockwave erupted downwards, causing the massive crater at their feet to expand by two full rings.

It even triggered a geological shift, causing the entire courtyard to break apart!

Murong Yue and the others, who had just arrived, were left dumbfounded by the sight. ’This boy’s physical strength can actually rival Liuu Ruohai’s?’

’I can’t hold on any longer.’

Qin Ya’s brow furrowed. His body trembled and he was sent flying several hundred yards back.

He spun in the air to shed the terrifying force, then landed with one foot back, skidding for a good thirty or forty yards before he managed to stabilize himself completely.

At that moment, he was not in good shape.

His right arm hung completely limp, twisted at an unnatural angle.

’Shattered bones, depleted Qi and Blood.’

Qin Ya quickly assessed his condition and understood his injuries. He then took out two Elixirs—one to heal his physical wounds and one to restore his Qi and Blood. After taking them, his injuries were completely healed in less than the time it took for two breaths.

He stared at the tower-like giant before him, his eyes filled with astonishment. To be honest, he had never seen anyone train their physical body to this extent.

Admittedly, his own physical body was very strong, and it had grown even stronger after recently consuming the Blood Essence Pills made by Refining the essence blood of the Dongmen Family’s ancestor, Dongmen Liyu.

But it was still no match for the hulk of a man before him.

’If I could absorb the Demonic Qi from a few Half-Venerables of the Demon Race, my power could probably match his,’ Qin Ya thought to himself, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

After all, he did possess the extraordinary Devouring Demon Bloodline.

It was just that sightings of the Demon Race were rare, to say nothing of Half-Venerables.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Just then, Bi Xiaoyu walked up and asked Qin Ya with concern.

Qin Ya shook his head, then looked past Liuu Ruohai to Murong Yue and the others. "No wonder Inspector Liuu was so provocative the moment he arrived," he said flatly. "So that’s why."

Liuu Ruohai laughed. "Whatever do you mean, Inspector Qin? I simply saw your outstanding abilities and my hands got itchy. I couldn’t resist a little spar, that’s all."

"Is that so?"

The corners of Qin Ya’s mouth curved up. "In that case... let’s go again!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Qin Ya moved like a clap of thunder, instantly appearing before Liuu Ruohai. Streams of the Qi of Destruction erupted from his body, forming an utterly terrifying storm. He then shaped his hand for a strike, bringing his palm down with the weight of Mount Tai.

The palm, imbued with the Qi of Destruction, carried a heaven-shattering aura, as if it had sucked all the air from around Liuu Ruohai. A serious expression crossed his face. He clenched his fist, veins popping as his Qi and Blood flared, and met the attack with a thunderous punch.

Fist and palm connected! The Qi of Destruction and the explosive Qi and Blood formed a storm, sweeping outward in a vast torrent. The faces of Bi Xiaoyu, Murong Yue, and the others changed, and they immediately retreated.

"A Top Profound Mystery?" Liuu Ruohai’s expression flickered. He gave a cold smirk and a low shout. The Qi and Blood around him erupted and vaguely formed a suit of blood-red Battle Armor that enveloped him. Then, the power in his fist surged as he struck out at Qin Ya.

"Ngh..."

Qin Ya was slightly startled. Liuu Ruohai’s Qi and Blood rushed at him like the surging Yangtze River, the force of the impact making his own arm go numb.

SWOOSH...

He abruptly retracted his palm and retreated several dozen yards.

Liuu Ruohai was wreathed in Qi and Blood, which formed swathes of Blood Qi Divine Light around him, roiling like banks of fog. Then, quick as lightning, it all contracted, Condensing into a suit of Battle Armor that clung tightly to his body.

"Blood Qi Battle Armor!!" Liuu Ruohai roared, his eyes erupting with soaring War Intent. "Inspector Qin, take this attack of mine—Power Move Mountains and Rivers!!"

With a thunderous boom, Liuu Ruohai’s figure vanished.

When he reappeared, he was a hundred meters in the air above Qin Ya’s head.

He clenched his hand into a fist, his body plummeting toward Qin Ya like a meteor, carrying an utterly terrifying impact force. The immense pressure was like a towering mountain!

"Mysterious Technique... Heaven’s Woe and Earth’s Misery!"

With a great explosion, a boundless Qi of Destruction swept out like a tempest. The land in a radius of several hundred yards disintegrated. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi gathered in his palm like a great river flowing into the sea, and a fluctuation of utterly terrifying power suddenly spread out.

Black mist roiled around Qin Ya’s palm, circulating a power that made one’s heart palpitate. Faintly, a scene of heaven and earth being destroyed seemed to flash continuously before everyone’s eyes.

He thrust his palm forward, and the Qi of Destruction billowed out, forming a Palm Seal hundreds of yards wide. The five fingers were slightly curved, and within the mysterious lines of the palm, a violent energy fluctuated. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM... The surrounding clouds were all repelled.

In a sky-shattering explosion, the Palm Qi and Fist Force scattered in all directions, stirring the winds and clouds!

Ripples spread through the void, expanding in circles and carrying a terrifying shockwave. Throughout the Inspectorate, many tall pavilions and towers were destroyed in an instant!

"Tsk, that kind of Attack Power has already surpassed an Era-Defining King!"

"That kid can actually go toe-to-toe with Liuu Ruohai."

Even Liuu Ruohai himself was astonished. He had initially thought the boy’s combat power was at most on par with an Era-Defining King. As for the matter of him being able to kill a Half-Venerable, he had written it off as a complete joke.

He never expected this; he had truly underestimated the boy.

SWOOSH...

At that moment, the gleam of a spear tip cut through the void, stabbing toward Liuu Ruohai.

’So Fast.’

Even Liuu Ruohai was startled by its speed.

After dodging the spear, before he could even catch his breath, another flurry of spear afterimages descended like a torrential storm, so dense they were almost impossible to dodge.

"Blood Qi Battle Armor, defend!!"

Liuu Ruohai roared, covering his head with his arms. The Battle Armor condensed from his Blood Qi pulsed with a sinister, crimson light, allowing him to forcibly withstand the spear afterimages.

CLANG! CLANG...

The sound of the impacts was incessant, like rain drumming on banana leaves.

And because he was being suppressed, Liuu Ruohai was forced to retreat again and again.
