Chapter 170: [151] Confrontation! The Truth! Life and Death (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions)_1
 

The night was bewitching, tugging at the heartstrings.

The lonely evening breeze suddenly took on a murderous intent.

“Perhaps, I should call you Teacher Chang, am I right?”

In an instant, Pei Jinye understood everything; he narrowed his eyes and looked on, his questioning tone already affirming the statement.

This moment was far from suspicion.

This realization was also thanks to Jiang Suhu’s transcendence; otherwise, he might not have been able to figure out his true identity for quite some time.

However, what made him feel a bit uneasy was… that he suddenly couldn’t activate Misty Body at this moment, as if the magnetic field here was deliberately targeting psychic-like transcendent powers!

And it was at that time.

At the entrance of the ruins.

A black-robed person wearing a blood-colored mask stood there quietly.

When that person heard Pei Jinye’s voice, there was no rush to refute.

To be precise, ever since Pei Jinye’s helmet shattered, revealing his young and handsome face, the person had lost any immediate intent to strike, as if recognizing his identity, caught in a certain regret and hesitation.

With a light sigh.

The black-robed person slowly removed their mask.

Indeed, it revealed Teacher Chang’s aged face.

But Teacher Chang’s eye sockets had sunk in, appearing sickly and shabby.

Pei Jinye knew this was not the result of the earlier attack…

It was likely that some “minor” problems had arisen in Teacher Chang’s body.

Speaking of which, it had indeed been a while since he last saw Teacher Chang.

“It seems I have severely underestimated your strength… No wonder you haven’t been to the guild for a long time.” Teacher Chang said calmly, discarding the mask which had a corner broken off, revealing the kind smile he wore in the old days: “Since joining as a beginner in October, in just a short month, you’ve grown beyond most geniuses I know, a truly enviable encounter. But do you know what I envy the most? It’s not this.”

“Since there’s no one else here, Teacher Chang, why not speak more clearly.” Pei Jinye remained on his guard internally.

Quietly running his mental method, he quickly recovered strength.

“What I really envy is your age. A young physical body often possesses the most enviable recovery speed, especially the exuberant volume of blood energy, endlessly nostalgic indeed.”

Teacher Chang let out a sigh, lifting his palm, looking at his arm now marked with age spots, “This body has reached its limits; originally, I planned to wait for you for another two years, but alas… Such is fate, to let us meet at this moment…”

“This body?” Pei Jinye sharply caught the critical phrase in Teacher Chang’s words.

He suddenly thought of a frightening fact.

But the next second.

Teacher Chang’s mouth formed a weird smile, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot, pressing down with a force like a mountain collapsing.

Pei Jinye struck at the same time.

A flicking slash.

A jet of blood shot from Teacher Chang’s arm, but at the same time, Pei Jinye felt an immense force transmitting through the sword.

Luckily, his stance remained unchanged, though the floor tiles beneath his feet instantly shattered.

“Be careful, I will dismantle your sword,” Teacher Chang said as if he was back to the days of coaching Pei Jinye on the training ground, speaking softly.

Pei Jinye’s face was expressionless, and his sword was immediately advanced.

It seemed as though it was presented, but the terrifying power that burst forth was extremely fearsome.

The next second.

His sword-holding hand and Teacher Chang’s palm came into contact with each other.

As the sting came,

Boom!

This time, the ground shook and the mountains quaked.

Waves of terror and enormous roaring sounds suddenly spread out!

The already crumbling walls around them crumbled once again, as if they were being knocked down effortlessly.

Almost simultaneously.

Both Pei Jinye and Teacher Chang’s muscles were vibrating, and under the Blood Lotus, their vitality roared, the air around them booming like a rapid-fire cannon.

The Silver-White Small Sword in Pei Jinye’s hand was knocked flying by the force, firmly pinning into the wall ten meters away.

“I taught you the ‘Twelve Lotuses’, and I can assure you that I didn’t tamper with this mental method at all. Clearly, your potential is even greater than I imagined,”

Teacher Chang’s tone was one of admiration, but at this moment, it carried a terrifying feeling… after all, he was coveting Pei Jinye’s body.

Seeing Pei Jinye match him head-on.

Teacher Chang casually neutralized it.

“I spent twenty years cultivating, and amassed three Blood Lotuses, while you have but one. When it comes to blood energy, what do you have to compete against me with?”

Teacher Chang’s kind and benevolent appearance seemed extremely ironic at this point.

Pei Jinye had fought his way here; his heart was no longer something an ordinary person could deduce. Facing Teacher Chang’s intentional mockery, his expression was undisturbed, with not a hint of panic.

He spread the five fingers of his hand and instantly grabbed Teacher Chang’s arm.

Activating his ability

Threefold strength!

Blood energy erupted!

In an instant! Intense murderous intent condensed to the extreme, along with boiling vitality, it seemed as if a red thunderbolt sprayed from Pei Jinye’s mouth—a testament to his surging vitality reaching its limit,

Teacher Chang, far from being angry, was actually delighted.

“Such volume of blood energy! Indeed, your Physical Body is the most perfect specimen I’ve ever seen!”

His body rose from the ground.

Three Blood Lotuses above his head.

Almost at the same time, even fiercer fluctuations of blood energy burst forth from Teacher Chang, to the point that space itself seemed to ripple like the surface of water, one wave after another.

That his aged body could still unleash such robust, surging vitality like great river waves was proof enough of the might of this long-established Martial Arts expert!

An old, wrinkled palm pushed forward, with blood energy pulsing from its center!

This simple, straightforward push was fiercely unmatched!

A series of rumbling thunderous Gang Qi noises exploded by Pei Jinye’s ears, and he let out a muffled groan, his face turning the color of purple sauce… This was probably the first time he had encountered such a terrifying Body Technique System maniac in a life-and-death battle!

Waves of air rushed out like a tsunami in all directions.

Fierce winds battered the face.

Scorching, intense blood energy assaulted his face, and in the blink of an eye, Pei Jinye no longer concealed anything.

Ability, Kui Bull, activated!

Pei Jinye’s form suddenly shot up to three meters, his muscles tearing through his clothes to reveal a body of terrifying proportions, non-human in nature, as his blood energy climbed once again.

This time.

Teacher Chang was no longer surprised, but enraged.

“You!”

“Just what kind of monster are you!”

He clearly remembered that Pei Jinye was from the Extraordinary Psychic Class, and had assumed all along that Pei Jinye was just a lucky individual with a secret but extraordinary physical potential.

However, in the fights tonight.

His view of Pei Jinye was changing almost every moment.

From the extraordinary speed of cultivation to the striking Physical Body Strength, to now directly transforming into a beast form… this had far surpassed Teacher Chang’s imagination.

“You are not an Extraordinary Psychic!”

“No!”

“This is… Freezing?”

Teacher Chang stared, astonished, at the chunks of ice forming on his hands… During their earlier exchange, he had thought that Pei Jinye had used some Spiritual Object, but now it was clear that was not the case!

“Multi-System?”

“You’re a Multi-system Extraordinary!”

“Tell me quickly, how did you do it!”

Teacher Chang’s previously calm face shattered in an instant, now twisted into something vicious.

He had pursued immortality his entire life.

He tried countless methods.

Even at the risk of being tainted with ominous portents…

He barely managed to achieve his current ghastly form, neither human nor ghost.

But if he could master the method of becoming Multi-System, then he could rely on his Transcendent Blood Energy to continuously extend his lifespan!

“Boom!”

A loud noise.

Teacher Chang’s body was sent flying.

His face twisted with viciousness, he looked at Pei Jinye with shock and greed, as if a problem that had plagued him for years had finally yielded an answer.

His burning gaze nearly melted onto Pei Jinye.

He rushed forward in an instant,

With arms rising like a Wild Dragon’s, he suddenly embraced Pei Jinye, his voice becoming entangled with desire.

“Tell me… tell me all your secrets!”

“Good boy… tell me quickly!”

Pei Jinye let out a beastly roar as the ground within a three-meter radius of his feet suddenly sank! Huge clods of earth flew about like cannonballs!

At that moment.

Assuming the stance of a Kui Bull, Pei Jinye’s Blood Energy roared like a furnace, and beneath his violent aura, waves of light burst forth like blazing flames. Staring at Teacher Chang’s grotesque face nearly against his own, Pei Jinye calmly uttered a single word:

“Explode!”

The moment his word echoed.

An explosive burst of air resounded, and the rumbling Gang Qi, like thunder, boomed in all directions, further demolishing the nearby crumbling walls with countless flying stone shards.

“Tell me!!!”

Teacher Chang bellowed furiously, his fierce Gang Wind making it momentarily difficult for both to breathe.

Force against force, hardness against hardness, violence against violence!

No matter how forcefully Pei Jinye struggled, Teacher Chang clung to him tightly.

Suddenly, countless clouds of dust surged up around them.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

Almost simultaneously.

Within a ten-meter radius.

All metal blades, as if drawn by some force, stabbed down like lightning.

Teacher Chang instantly became like a hedgehog, with sharp weapons embedded in his back.

But he was indifferent, his eyes bloodshot and fierce as he questioned:

“Tell me!”

“Quick, tell me!!!”

Carrying Pei Jinye, he crashed down heavily.

Several walls collapsed under the impact, and under the stimulation of his Blood Energy furnace, he exerted such extreme force that it enveloped Pei Jinye in a hysterical frenzy.

Pei Jinye couldn’t use his fists, but with a mere thought, he unleashed a metallic storm.

Three minutes later.

Amidst a pile of ruins.

Pei Jinye was covered in blood, and so was Teacher Chang.

“You don’t know how much effort I’ve spent over the years to become stronger and attain immortality…” Teacher Chang’s face was bloodied, now resembling an evil spirit: “You think killing me is but a pipe dream… You are not even at the Bone Forging stage, while I’ve already reached Organ Refining!”

Teacher Chang tore at Pei Jinye’s body, his palm striking down.

But after all, he couldn’t bring himself to kill Pei Jinye.

An ice shield formed to block, only to be shattered by Teacher Chang the next second.

Pei Jinye was not surprised.

What he wanted was just the momentary pause from Teacher Chang.

A golden light burst forth from his hand.

The silver-white small sword flashed again from behind, aiming directly at the back of Teacher Chang’s head.

Teacher Chang grinned viciously.

“Since you won’t talk, I’ll just beat you until you do!”

He raised his hand high, easily deflecting the silver-white small sword, and with his other hand raised, the terrifying gale subsided, as the Breaking the limit level “Quake” completely erased the emerging golden light.

But with his strike, Pei Jinye finally broke free.

His huge form now seemed to shrink as if drained of water.

His bones had broken in at least seven places during the recent clash!

Indeed!

A month of training was no match for the decades Teacher Chang had practiced!

Teacher Chang sprang to his feet, his elbow ready, his fists like oppressive thunderbolts, the sound thunderous beyond all else.

Almost without pause.

Teacher Chang’s palm pressed against Pei Jinye’s chest.

Crackling!

The power of a mountain collapse and a tsunami instantly pierced Pei Jinye’s body, sending him flying and tumbling through over a dozen walls!

“Puh”

Pei Jinye coughed out blood, his body in agony.

But there was no sign of pain on his face, only numbness as he thought…

Is this the helplessness in the face of a true powerhouse?

He was not afraid.

He just felt regret…

Regret that he had wasted the Yuanli Button on that woman.

“Teacher Chang”

Pei Jinye choked out blood, but this light call immediately interrupted Teacher Chang’s ready pounce, revealing a grin full of vicious delight as he leaped forward, looming over Pei Jinye:

“As long as you tell the secret, I can assure you that I won’t kill you! From the beginning, I’ve taught you everything I know!”

“Shall we talk?” asked Pei Jinye.

“Of course, after all, there’s a master-disciple bond between us!” Teacher Chang’s mouth twisted into a sinister smile.

It’s just…
