The night was black as ink, and a fierce wind howled. 

  The stone inscription that emitted a faint swirling azure glow was inserted into the snow covered mud. At this moment, from the Splitting Mountain Axe in Teng Qingshan’s hands, a faint light could be seen swirling about as well. An almost invisible azure beam of light flowed out from the Splitting Mountain Axe and integrated with the stone inscription. 

  As for Teng Qingshan, he stood there motionlessly with his eyes closed. 

  “The ninth move of the «Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms».” 

  The voice of Emperor Yu that could cause the heavens and earth to tremble resonated in Teng Qingshan’s ears. A tall figure forcefully leaped up high into the clouds. The figure held the Splitting Mountain Axe in his hands and abruptly hacked it downward. “Rumble~~~” The mountain was split into two under this furious strike. 

  Endless amounts of large boulders rumbled and started to roll down. 

  A tall mountain had been divided in two by an axe. 

  As soon as the scene vanished, other images began to appear, showing the detailed scenes on the movement of hand gestures, jumping, ferocious slashing…… A total of ten scenes appeared in succession. Teng Qingshan was completely immersed in the concept that Emperor Yu specially created. 

  After a long period— 

  Teng Qingshan opened his eyes. 

  “Emperor Yu was indeed formidable.” 

  “He actually divided the ninth move into over a dozen simple moves.” Teng Qingshan revealed an expression of admiration. The 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》was Emperor Yu’s most powerful attacking technique and comprehending it was tough. It was impossible to comprehend by just watching Emperor Yu perform the ninth move. 

  Therefore, Emperor Yu divided the ninth move and depicted it with different kinds of moves, attempting to simplify it. 

  “Emperor Yu had powerful skills. However, his claim about ordinary innate experts reaching the Emptiness Realm within several dozen years was totally a lie. 

  “Even if an ordinary innate experts possessed the Splitting Mountain Axe and the thirty-six pieces of stone inscriptions, he would only see Emperor Yu performing the moves in detail! The Dao of Heavens was something that words couldn’t describe. Even though Emperor Yu did explain it simply through different kinds of moves, such simplicity was still extremely difficult for the ordinary innate experts to comprehend.” 

  Teng Qingshan only realized this after immersing himself in cultivation and experiencing it himself…… 

  The combination of the Splitting Mountain Axe and the stone inscription could decrease the difficulty of cultivation by ninety percent! However, it was still not something that ordinary innate experts could comprehend. 

  However, Teng Qingshan was different! 

  He had already reached a very high realm. Even if he didn’t have the stone inscription, he only needed several more years to reach the Emptiness Realm. 

  Moreover, Emperor Yu even divided one move into over dozen moves. Through the stone inscription, Teng Qingshan was able to comprehend the Dao of Heavens at a very fast speed. 

  “The ninth move contained the Gold Elemental Dao, and Earth Elemental Dao……it will take some time to comprehend, but I might be able to create the fifth technique of my Five Elemental Spear Arts through the understanding of the Gold Elemental Dao!” 

  Teng Qingshan had only created four spear techniques. The first technique was the Transmutation Unity Law. The second, ‘Pursuing Shadows. The third technique was Toxic Dragon Drill, while the fourth technique was the Vermillion Tiger Roar. 

  The spear art that should have evolved from the Slashing Fist hadn’t been created! 

  The Slashing Fist was constituted of the gold element, the first of the five elements. Its form was like an axe. The Slashing Fist rose up rapidly and thrust forward forcefully like an axe slashing forward. Its power was extremely great. Of the Five Element Fists of Xing Yi Martial Arts, the Slashing Fist was the most difficult technique. The Gold Element was originally so trenchant that it could be blocked, but it was also the hardest to comprehend. 

  Of the Five Element Fists, the Bursting Fist was the most studied technique of some grandmasters in Teng Qingshan’s previous life. 

  The Bursting Fist was like an arrow. The thrusting of the fist was like drawing a bow and shooting an arrow back and forth in a continuous manner. 

  The Drilling Fist was the fastest! The power of the Cannon Fist was the strongest! The Crossing Fist was the foundation of the five techniques! The Slashing Fist was the first of the five; therefore it was the quickest and fiercest! Of the Five Element Fists, the Bursting Fist was undoubtedly the most balanced. Whether attack, defense, or speed, everything was very balanced. Therefore, most grandmasters studied this technique arduously. 

  “The Slashing Fist and this Axe Art bear a resemblance.” As Teng Qingshan examined the Axe Art, he also began pondering the fifth technique of the Five Elemental Spear Arts. 

  Ever since Teng Qingshan obtained the stone inscription with the ninth move, he spent almost every day studying this Axe Art. 

  Yet, he was unaware that…… 

  Within several days, almost all the clans on the entire Duanmu Continent knew that Teng Qingshan had intruded Dong Clan and captured Dong Zhezi. This matter was truly too stunning. Being able to openly charge into the residence of a great clan and capture the Matriarch that has already reached the Innate Realm showed that Teng Qingshan possessed a terrifyingly powerful ability. 

  Since Teng Qingshan did not hide his identity at that time, others naturally knew of his appearance. It was easy to verify that Teng Qingshan was the one that took Dong Zhezi away.  …… 

  Over a hundred clans contended for hegemony on the Duanmu Continent, and there are numerous henchmen and travelling warriors. 

  Just one disagreement could cause swords to clash and blood to be spilt within an area of five feet! On the Duanmu Continent, people treated experts with absolute admiration. In those people’s eyes, Teng Qingshan’s overbearing action was considered the actions of an authentic expert! Only the ones that possessed complete confidence in their ability would have the audacity to do such things openly! 

  Only an authentic expert would view an army with thousands of men like nothing. 

  Veneration! Admiration! 

  Of course, the ones mentioned were only ordinary henchmen and travelling warriors. In the eyes of some great clans, Teng Qingshan was already considered hot property. A clan could rely on Teng Qingshan to thrive and flourish! If such powerful expert joined a clan, that clan would definitely grow stronger. ……

  On the afternoon of the fifth day after Teng Qingshan obtained the stone inscription. 

  Many War Hous and Hunchbacked Beast could be seen by the lakeside. A middle-aged man dressed luxuriously was seen leading a young man and talking humbly to Li Jun. 

  “Patriarch Murong, please wait a while. Big Brother Teng will be back soon. You can tell Big Brother Teng later. I can’t make any decisions,” Li Jun said as she shook her head. 

  At this moment— 

  A figure dressed in an azure leather coat was seen walking towards them from afar. 

  The luxuriously dressed and noble middle-aged man hastily led the young man over. He cupped his hands and said with a face full of smiles, “I am Murong Zheng. It’s a pleasure to meet Mister Teng.” 

  “Patriarch Murong.” Teng Qingshan flicked a glance at the middle-aged man and replied, “I have met you before.” 

  “Yes, we met at Drifting Cloud Mansion,” said Patriarch Murong with a smile. Simultaneously, he pointed at the young man at the side and said, “This is my son Murong Liufeng. Feng, quick pay your respect to Mister Teng.” The young man seemed rather awkward, but he stared at Teng Qingshan with passion in his eyes. He hastily bowed with respect and said, “Murong Liufeng pays my respect to Mister Teng.” 

  Teng Qingshan flicked a glance at the young man and asked with a smile, “Patriarch Murong, which young master of Murong is this?” 

  “He is the third one.” Patriarch Murong answered hastily. 

  “Oh.” Teng Qingshan nodded. 

  With a joyful and surprised expression, Patriarch Murong said, “Mister Teng, how did you know that I have more than one son? Perhaps Mister knows the other sons of mine?” In Patriarch Murong’s opinion, knowing Teng Qingshan was something that was worth being proud of. 

  Moreover, if his sons knew Teng Qingshan, it would be easier to gain a closer relationship with him. 

  “When I first came to Nanshan City.” Teng Qingshan said while walking, “I noticed someone leading a troop of cavalrymen and dashing speedily on the street. A pedestrian was almost trampled to death. I stopped him at that time……According to the words of passersby, the leader of that troop was the Second Young Master of your Murong Clan.” 

  When Teng Qingshan said this, the Patriarch of Murong Clan couldn’t help but reveal an embarrassed expression. 

  He originally thought Teng Qingshan would speak highly of his sons and didn’t expect that he would mention this. 

  “That unfilial son of mine is actually this insolent.” The Patriarch of Murong Clan showed an expression of anger as he responded, “I will definitely discipline him when I go home.” 

  Teng Qingshan smiled. At this moment, he had already arrived at the house. 

  “Big Brother Teng, lunch is ready.” Li Jun said. 

  “Yes.” 

  Teng Qingshan looked towards the Patriarch of Murong and inquired, “I wonder why the Patriarch of Murong came here to find me?” 

  The Patriarch of Murong said with a grin, “Liufeng has loved spear arts since he was young! Now, he has made achievements in the learning of spear arts. However……it is tough to learn from the true masters of spear arts as there are really too few spear art masters. I heard that Mister Teng is skillful in spear arts. Therefore, I shamelessly came with my son, Feng, to ask Mister Teng to accept this child as your follower.” 

  “Instructor, please accept me as your follower.” Murong Liufeng blushed slightly as he bowed and said. 

  “My follower must fulfill three requirements. The first one is to have the strength of a Hollow Dan Innate Expert.” Teng Qingshan cast a glance at them with a smile and said, “Patriarch Murong, you guys should leave.” 

  With this, Teng Qingshan turned and headed into the house. 

  “Mister Teng, Mister Teng.” Patriarch of Murong hastily shouted, but Teng Qingshan ignored him. 

  “Fulfill three requirements? The first one is to be a Hollow Dan Innate Expert?” When the Patriarch of Murong Clan heard, he couldn’t help but feel this rage in his heart. He thought to himself, “This Mister Teng is really arrogant! How many Martial Saints are there in the entire Duanmu Continent? Let me see if you can ever accept a follower in the future!” 

  Although the Patriarch of Murong was angry, he didn’t dare say anything. 

  “Mister Teng, then we shall be leaving.” Patriarch of Murong Clan dragged the flushed Third Young Master of Murong Clan away. He led the group of guards and left with speed. 

  Li Jun watched the group of people leave from inside the house. 

  “Big Brother Teng, your three requirements seemed to be too high.” Li Jun laughed and said. 

  “Little Jun, I think more people from those great clans will visit to be my follower. If they do, just tell them that the first requirement to be my follower is to be a Hollow Dan Innate Expert.” Teng Qingshan said. 

  Li Jun hastily said, “What if an innate expert really came?” 

  “If so?” 

  Teng Qingshan smiled and replied, “There’s still the second requirement and the third requirement. Moreover, if it’s someone with a temperament that I like, accepting an innate expert as my follower would be good too.” 

  At the side, Little Ping and Old Wang laughed. As for Teng Shou, he only blinked twice. He didn’t seem to understand. 

  Teng Qingshan’s predictions were correct. Murong Clan was not the only clan that wanted to rope Teng Qingshan in by requesting to be Teng Qingshan’s follower. Wang Clan and Li Clan also used this method. The other clans in rather far places either asked Teng Qingshan to be their Deus or asked Teng Qingshan to be the instructor in their clan. 

  Unfortunately— 

  They were all stunned by Teng Qingshan’s requirement. “Wish to be my follower? The first requirement is to be an innate expert! Furthermore, Teng Qingshan had the second and third requirements. 

  “You wish to know the second and third requirements? I will only tell you after you reached the Innate Realm.” 

  The few great clans were rejected. Immediately, the great clans knew how difficult this ’Mister Teng’ is. Simultaneously, the world also knew of the requirement to be Teng Qingshan’s follower, and it amazed many people, causing many people to think, “The super powerful experts are indeed super powerful experts, even the requirement to be a follower is set so highly! Yet, when someone’s status is extremely high, even if his actions were slightly overbearing, people would still admire him. ……

  During the early morning of the twenty-eighth day after Teng Qingshan obtained the stone inscription. 

  In the cavern under the Godly Axe Mountain. 

  After sitting cross-legged and cultivating for one whole night, Teng Qingshan stood up and began practicing his fist arts! Every early morning, Li Jun and the others would wake up in the sound of Teng Qingshan’s fists. They all knew that Teng Qingshan practices his fist arts when the sun rises. 

  “Yawn!” 

  Li Jun stretched lazily and opened the door curtains. As she walked out, Little Ping, who was beside her, also stepped out, following Li Jun. 

  “Eh?” Li Jun and Little Ping widened their eyes. 

  “Uncle, he ” Little Ping widened her eyes. 

  At this moment, Teng Qingshan, who was practice the 《Earth Element Fist》, seemed to be wearing a full suit of earthy yellow battle armor. His head was completely covered, and only a transparent light could be seen covering his eyes. 

  In the past, only flashes of earthy yellow glow could be seen on Teng Qingshan’s body. However, it has now formed an enclosed battle armor 

  “Did Big Brother Teng reach the end phase of the Supreme Force?” Li Jun said in joy and surprise.

  Book 8 Chapter 16 The Final Phase of the Supreme Force, A Perfect Body! 

  While Teng Qingshan was practicing fist art, he could distinctly feel that his body was going through an astonishing transformation. Back when he was in the Great Prairie, Teng Qingshan had already reached the Middle Phase of the Supreme Force. However, it had taken Teng Qingshan more than a year to reach from the Middle Phase of the Supreme Force to the Final Phase. He had only attained a breakthrough today! 

  As soon as Teng Qingshan attained a breakthrough, he could feel this astonishing transformation! 

  The powerful Supreme Force was like iron wires and tough silk, coursing through every part of Teng Qingshan’s body and hiding in every cell. His muscles, bones, tendons, and internal organs were all filled with this magical power, and this power was transforming! 

  It was becoming increasingly stronger and tougher! 

  “Clang clang~~” 

  Teng Qingshan could hear indistinctly the sounds of the transformation happening in his body after the unification of each Supreme Force and ‘Spirit’. This transformation caused the Supreme Force itself to become even more magical and marvelous. Simultaneously, it caused Teng Qingshan’s body, and even his tiny cells, to go through a complete transformation. 

  Originally, Teng Qingshan’s internal organs were much weaker in comparison to his the muscles and bones. 

  However, at this moment, the Supreme Force, which was like lightning and silk, vibrated in his internal organs, causing a transformation. The internal organs were also morphing at a rapid speed, becoming increasingly tougher and stronger! For example, even if Teng Qingshan’s heart wasn’t under the protection of the Supreme Force, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to pierce it with a blade. 

  From internal to external, Teng Qingshan’s body possessed no weak points! 

  Everything blended together well! This was the perfect body possessed only by those who had cultivated to the pinnacle of the Internal Martial Arts. 

  “The Spirit and Supreme Force actually complement one another. The breakthrough of my Supreme Force actually caused my Spirit to experience a transformation.” Teng Qingshan could feel the changes distinctly. For a very long time, Teng Qingshan had been unable to control the air with his ‘Spirit’ and eliminate air resistance! 

  However, after he reached the Final Phase of the Supreme Force, Teng Qingshan managed to do it. 

  The ‘Spirit’ in the Niwan Palace blended continually into the Supreme Force which had reached its pinnacle. As the Supreme Force reached a state of saturation and after the ‘Spirit’ blended with the Supreme Force, it returned to the Niwan Palace. However, just this process of entering the Apex Supreme Force and coming back out had already caused the ‘Spirit’ to undergo a transformation. 

  “One can only reach the Final Phase of the Supreme Force if one’s ‘Spirit’ is powerful enough! 

  “And one can only control air and eliminate air resistance when one reaches the Final Phase of the Supreme Force. 

  “These two complement one another!” Teng Qingshan exclaimed inwardly in admiration. 

  “No wonder! Between the Buddhist Sects and the Daoist Sects, the Buddhist Sect valued the ‘Spirit’ more. According to this reasoning, when the expert reached the middle phase of Arhat, the strength of the ‘Spirit’ should be similar to the strength of a ‘Spirit’ which belonged to a Daoist Sect’s Golden Dan Innate Expert. However, even though the Buddhist Sect has a higher requirement in regards to the strength of the ‘Spirit,’ a Buddhist Sect’s expert can only control air resistance at the Final Phase. 

  “Whereas, the Daoist Sect’s expert can only control air resistance at the stage of a Golden Dan of the Innate Realm. 

  “The same goes with the cultivators of the Internal Martial Arts. We can only eliminate air resistance when we reach the Final Phase of the Supreme Force.” 

  Teng Qingshan could feel this great joy surging in his heart. ……

  As he reached the apex of the Internal Martial Arts’ Supreme Force, his internal and external body had now blended into one harmonious whole, reaching a perfect completion. The Supreme Force was extremely powerful, occasionally hiding within and coagulating on the surface of the body. One could say that in terms of body, Teng Qingshan had already reached the limit! If he made any more improvements, it would be improvements in the comprehension of the ‘Dao’! 

  When a Golden Dan Innate Expert and an Arhat Expert at the Final Phase reached the limit, the explosive strength of their body would reach around eight hundred thousand Jin. 

  As for Teng Qingshan, his body had unified with the Supreme Force, and he had reached the limit; his explosive strength would be around one million and six hundred thousand Jin! 

  It would be almost twice the amount of explosive strength of a Golden Dan Innate Expert and an Final Phase Arhat Expert! 

  “My body has reached its limit. Now, even the body of an Emptiness Realm Expert will not be as strong as mine.” Teng Qingshan knew this clearly. “I can no longer improve physically. Now, what I need to do is to comprehend the ‘Dao’. 

  The current Teng Qingshan could even cause the air to produce explosive sounds just by inhaling deeply. 

  His internal and external body had reached a completion. This was the limit of the body! 

  “Whew!” 

  Teng Qingshan withdrew his strength and took a deep breath. The breath of air he inhaled and exhaled even shot a hole into the mountain wall. 

  “Big Brother Teng, you attained a breakthrough?” Li Jun walked over cheerfully. 

  “Teacher.” Teng Shou showed a sense of happiness as well. After being taught by Teng Qingshan, Teng Shou knew that …… after reaching the Grandmaster Realm of the Internal Martial Arts, the cultivation ranking would be divided into three levels: Beginning Phase; Middle Phase; and the Final Phase. In the first level, spots of twirling light flashed on the entire body. In the second level, the Supreme Force would coagulate into a ringlike form. In the third level, the Supreme Force would envelop the entire body! 

  “Haha, yes, I have attained breakthrough.” Teng Qingshan nodded with a smile. 

  “Big Brother Teng, this is a really happy occasion! Today …… Hmmm…… I must make more food today.” Li Jun felt extremely happy for Teng Qingshan. At the side, Little Ping waved her arms about hastily and shouted, “Sister Jun, I will help.” 

  “Congratulations, Boss,” Old Wang said while laughing. 

  “Big Brother Teng,” Li Jun suddenly said softly. 

  “Eh?” Teng Qingshan looked at her. 

  “Big Brother Teng, didn’t you say you would subdue that Six Legged Bladelike Chi after you reach the Final Phase of Supreme Force?” Li Jun pointed at the other cave as she spoke. When Teng Qingshan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at the other cave. Looking from his location, Teng Qingshan could even see the Six Legged Bladelike Chi which was lying in the cave and sleeping soundly. 

  The Six Legged Bladelike Chi was very good at sleeping. A month had passed since Teng Qingshan obtained this stone inscription, but the Six Legged Bladelike Chi had only woken up twice during this period. 

  “This Six Legged Bladelike Chi is extremely powerful. It can fly and escape underground. Its body’s defense is also extremely powerful,” Teng Qingshan praised secretly. “Additionally, the blade art that the six bladelike legs performed is also very marvelous. The Six Legged Bladelike Chi is the most suitable one to be my training partner. In the future, I can bring it to the Nine Prefectures, and it will be of great use!” 

  After Teng Qingshan encountered the God of Heaven Palace, he knew very clearly that…… 

  In the Nine Prefectures, the eight Supreme Sects appeared to be the superior forces, but in actuality, there were forces which surged violently in the dark! Like the God of Heaven Palace which possessed extremely great ambition. Of course, Teng Qingshan himself was not willing to be ordinary! 

  “Hmph, Qing Hu Island! Qing Hu Island and Gui Yuan Sect both exist in one prefecture. How can there be two tigers in the land of one prefecture?” Teng Qingshan understood this very clearly in his heart and thought to himself, “In the future, the branch of Internal Martial Arts will flourish! Just an area of Jiangning County won’t be enough. Qing Hu Island has controlled Yangzhou for long enough. It is time for it to move!” 

  Teng Qingshan harbored great hatred within his heart! 

  How could he just drop the matter which caused Qing Qing’s death? 

  However— 

  If he didn’t possess enough strength, every word he said would just be a prattle. 

  “Little Jun, you should all go outside now. Little Jun, you can talk to it after I am done fighting it,” Teng Qingshan said. Li Jun and the others nodded. “Screech~~Screech~~” Li Jun called Blue Luan, who was sleeping in its bed, to go out together. As for the Whole Gale Eagle? It was already outside. 

  Soon, Li Jun, Blue Luan, and the others had all left. 

  Teng Qingshan took the Reincarnation Spear, which had been leaning on the wall, and headed into the Six Legged Bladelike Chi’s lair. 

  “Dong! Dong! Dong!” 

  Teng Qingshan intentionally stepped forcefully on the ground, causing the earth to shake and surface of the rocky ground to crack. It was as though a giant was striding forward. 

  The sleeping Six Legged Bladelike Chi suddenly opened the pair of protruding eyes on its triangular head. 

  “Whew!” Simultaneously, it stood up. Its six legs leaned forward, preparing to leap out at any time. It opened its mouth and emitted deep roars which transmitted a peculiar fishy smell. 

  “Six Legged Bladelike Chi, how about you and I fight?” Teng Qingshan lifted his Reincarnation Spear and pointed at the Six Legged Bladelike Chi. 

  The Six Legged Bladelike Chi immediately roared furiously. 

  In the Six Legged Bladelike Chi’s opinion, a fight between itself and Teng Qingshan was meaningless. 

  “Hmph, are you afraid?” Teng Qingshan revealed a disdainful expression. 

  As expected, the proud Six Legged Bladelike Chi had been angered by Teng Qingshan’s attitude. It scuttled to the side at lightning speed, and simultaneously, it pushed opened a path through the mountain wall with its front legs as though it was pushing aside a tall underbrush. Its colossal body then darted out like a flash of lightning. 

  Teng Qingshan and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi had already fought many times. 

  If they fought in a narrow space, Teng Qingshan naturally had an advantage. Therefore, the Six Legged Bladelike had learned its lesson. “You, a human, wish to fight me? Sure, let’s go outside!” (This was what the Six Legged Bladelike Chi thought.) 

  The area outside the cave was spacious, and in this spacious area, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi was at a advantageous position. It could ravage Teng Qingshan easily. 

  “Hmph.” Teng Qingshan grinned as he held the Reincarnation Spear. Then he transformed into a streak of lightning and darted onto the path. ……

  After the colossal body of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi darted out of the mountain wall, a human figure, much smaller than it was, darted out like lightning. 

  “Whew!” 

  Teng Qingshan stood on a branch of a tree while the Six Legged Bladelike Chi floated amidst the forest. A faint cold glint flashed in the extremely small, black pupils on the triangular head of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi. 

  “During the previous fights outside, I have been in a disadvantageous position. However, this time……” Suddenly, Teng Qingshan’s entire body and the surface of his clothes were covered with a layer of earthy yellow. His head was also covered, and only a pair of eyes could be seen. It was though he was wearing a full suit of battle armor! 

  The Six Legged Bladelike Chi was astonished. Its two pairs of wings vibrated slightly, and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi ascended slightly. 

  It could tell that the human before its eyes had grown more powerful. 

  “Roar~~~” The Six Legged Bladelike Chi roared forcefully, and its two pairs of wings fluttered simultaneously. In an instant, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi, especially its two pairs of wings which were as thin as a cicada’s wings but extremely trenchant, transformed into a streak of golden flowing light. As the Six Legged Bladelike Chi flew in the forest, its wings slashed past the trees. It was as though those trees were had been slashed by a colossal and sharp blade! 

  “Rumble~~~” 

  The several dozen thick and strong trees collapsed, but the cross sections of those trees were all smooth and neat. 

  “Haha……” Teng Qingshan laughed and leaped forcefully into the air. 

  Simultaneously, he grabbed the Reincarnation Spear and lifted it up high as though he was lifting an axe. The instant before he clashed with the Six Legged Bladelike Chi, Teng Qingshan lashed out forcefully with the Reincarnation Spear. Teng Qingshan’s left and right hands were aligned with one at the top and one at the bottom (back-to-back), as he gripped the spear shaft and swung the Reincarnation Spear forward, slashing furiously— 

  The entire spear shaft illuminated with an earthy yellow glow. 

  “Roar~~~” Six Legged Bladelike Chi roared, and the two enormous sickle-like legs slashed toward Teng Qingshan. 

  Teng Qingshan slashed his Reincarnation Spear forward as well! 

  The instant the two clashed, Teng Qingshan’s right and left hand exerted an explosive strength. 

  “Bang!” 

  The energy flew in all directions, causing trees to collapse, while Teng Qingshan and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi flew apart. 

  The powerful and strange force caused the two of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi’s legs to bend. Simultaneously, the force applied on its legs transmitted to its body. This caused the Six Legged Bladelike Chi to knock down over ten thick and strong trees before it finally came to a stop. A green liquid trickled out unexpectedly from the corner of the mouth on its triangular head, and astonishment and fear could be seen within the tiny black pupils in its pair of enormous eyes. 

  Meanwhile, Teng Qingshan had flown backwards. Then with a flip, he landed on the branch of a tree. 

  When he saw the bloodstain on the corner of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi’s mouth, Teng Qingshan revealed a smile and said, “Yes! The power of the fifth technique of the Five Elemental Spear Arts, Slashing Mountain, is not bad.”
