"Good, I will go catch them right away," Cao Mang vowed.
Mr. Zhao clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cao. There will be a generous reward once the job is done."
As fate would have it, although they didn't fully understand the direction of the teleportation, the two still had a clear idea of their destination. At this moment, they were still traveling in silence.
To break the awkwardness, Huangpu Xin spoke up, "Are you sure about this? After all, we still have to bring along someone who has lost their combat ability."
Wang Tingyu said, "I am also a pride of the family, much stronger than those country bumpkins!"
"Oh? But I heard that the disciples of big families are all built on piles of elixirs," Huangpu Xin said intentionally.
Wang Tingyu suddenly became agitated: "Nonsense! Those are just the branches of the family. Our main family members are all geniuses who can fight beyond their level."
"Do you have the confidence to defeat that fully trained body?"
"None." Wang Tingyu replied curtly.
"Are you saying you're not just a pretty face?" Huangpu Xin sneered.
"That's different, the perfection of physical training is different from us, it's a small gap before innate talent," explained Wang Tingyu.
"Uh?"
"You are a foreigner and don't know. In the six realms the day after tomorrow, the first three realms of grinding skin, relaxing tendons, and refining bones lay the foundation, practicing external skills. The latter three realms of opening meridians, connecting apertures, and forging the body, are the internal martial arts. In general, the gap in the first three realms is not large, but the gap in the latter three realms is huge..." Wang Tingyu said.
"Indeed, the gap is huge, so huge that one could almost be killed by someone of a lower level." Huangpu Xin joked.
"Ah, can't you stop mentioning what just happened?" Wang Tingyu's face darkened, "Isn't this just the beginning of the battle..."
"Okay, okay, then continue to tell us what the shortcomings are in the last three stages," Huangpu Xin didn't tease him.
"First is the circulation of meridians, which involves the external and internal circulation, using various methods to transform the natural energy of heaven and earth into the elixir field, forming the first strand of true energy." Wang Tingyu explained in detail.
"What are the prominent characteristics of true energy?"
"Those who can release their internal energy can assess the strength and weaknesses of each other's techniques. Releasing internal energy can double the strength of the weaker technique!"
"How much?"
"One time." Wang Tingyu didn't react.
"Damn, you're being cheeky." Huangpu Xin felt a bit uncomfortable. Judging by this estimation, his psychic powers couldn't even stop the complete body forging, let alone the complete meridian connection!
"Where does the strength come from?" Huangpu Xin asked.
"The strength is often 6 to 10 times greater. For example, our family's Qingxuangong is 8 times stronger."
Listening to Wang Tingyu's explanation, Huangpu Xin's eyelids twitched. "Quick, release your true energy and hurry on the road. If that martial artist releases their true energy, we should be caught up..." Before the words "caught up" could be spoken, a distant thunderous roar was heard!
"Damn, that was pure leaping over here..." Huangpu Xin looked at the huge pit not far away.
"Don't panic, our family's Qingxuan technique has footwork, it's super fast, okay?" Wang Tingyu said.
"I haven't seen you use it super fast! Where have you been all this time?" Huangpu Xin retorted.
"The consumption of releasing true energy externally is quite high, I, I'll use it sparingly..."
"Spare what, you'll spare your life if you're too stingy!"
"Oh oh"
Wang Tingyu only then did he feel that something was wrong. He activated the Qingxuan Steps, and indeed, he was more than twice as fast as before. However, the disparity in realm was too great, and the distance between them still did not widen.
"This won't do..." Huangpu Xin looked at his status bar [The Zerg infection 45%], once it exceeds 50% infection, it will be unstoppable, and he will regress to the state when he just got this body. Who knows if he will have five years in this world.
Glancing at the storage bar, Huangpu Xin came up with a plan.
"Kid, stop, I promise not to kill you!" The middle-aged man with the big sword suddenly shouted.
"Really?" Wang Tingyu asked.
"Can you be more mature, that's your family's enemy sent to kill us. If he catches us, we'll have no place to bury ourselves!" Huangpu Xin was speechless.
"Okay, okay," Wang Tingyu accelerated his run.
"Sigh, where did a little kid like you get so much cunning." The middle-aged man said unhappily.
Huangpu Xin ignored him, only calculating the distance between the two of them, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters...
Just as the middle-aged man was about to draw his sword to strike, a cold light flashed, it was that silver short sword!
Clang!
"Hiss" Huangpu Xin The impending strike was blocked.
"You, this little kid, also know the art of sword control. I won't let you go!" The bearded man said, then swung his large sword. His true energy multiplied through the blade, sealing off all paths with a sky-obscuring strike.
"md," Huangpu Xin didn't have time to think too much, so he sent out the sword he had picked up and made a strike. However, it was obviously not powerful enough. The impact of the two strikes exploded behind Huangpu Xin, and psychic powers protected the two of them, but they were still blown away without much harm.
With smoke and dust everywhere, the martial artist was probably afraid of deception and didn't dare to approach. He just used a move to disperse the smoke and dust, but where were the people on the ground? In the short moment from the explosion to the roar, Huangpu Xin had already flown hundreds of meters with Wang Tingyu on the sword.
"Oh yeah!" Wang Tingyu is carefree and has never flown before.
"..." Huangpu Xin looks serious, distracted by the status bar 【The Zerg infection 47%】. The new secret realm entrance hasn't appeared yet, and they still have a distance to go even to reach the north gate of the city.
Huangpu Xin looked at his infection rate and the distance to the secret realm, gritting his teeth: "Damn, who said this city isn't big!"
"Do you have long-range attacks? Disturb him!" Huangpu Xin saw that Wang Tingyu was still experiencing the feeling of flying and urgently reminded him.
"Wang Tingyu" swiftly drew out a slender sword and struck with it. Whether it was her skill or the strength of the martial artist, the strike was unexpectedly resisted by the middle-aged man.
"Done, I shouldn't have trusted a noob like you. Can't even break through the defense..." As the two fled and pursued, they covered dozens of miles in an instant. Even with Huangpu Xin's sword flying speed, they were only able to keep up with the warrior. Huangpu Xin looked on in despair as the infection rate continued to rise [The Zerg infection 47%... 48%... 49%].
They had just passed the north city gate when the infection reached 49%. "Why is it so far! I can't even squeeze out any more strength!" Huangpu Xin was at a loss, "Is there anyone to help me, please, someone!"
It's as if the heavens heard Huangpu Xin's call for help. Suddenly, a dark figure darted out from the side of the road and headed straight for the martial artist. Seeing the situation was not right, the middle-aged man blocked with his sword. Clang! The attacking dark figure turned out to be a thin and tall martial artist, resembling a withered tree, wielding a long sword that appeared to be quite old.
"Wang Grandpa!" Wang Tingyu recognized the thin old man in front of him at a glance, who was the one the family worshipped. "Stop! Let's go help Wang Grandpa!"
"We can't stop," Huangpu Xin said lightly.
"Okay, let's go... What?" Wang Tingyu didn't hear clearly.
"I said we can't stop!" Huangpu Xin repeated.
"Why!? He's not a stranger, he watched me grow up!"
"Get a grip! Your home is in the east of the city, and we rushed non-stop to the north. In the midst of being surrounded and attacked, how could he, a martial artist at the Pulse Connecting Realm, just happen to run into you?"
