Chapter 134: Late-stage of the Embracing the Pill Realm

Zhang Kui stood with his hands behind his back, looking toward the door. That posture was like an unshakable mountain, and the heavy aura around his body pressed heavily on the entire guest hall.

Zhu Ling immediately had some confidence, and a calm smile appeared on that slightly mean face, and she said in a deep voice: "Go, invite him in!"

"Yes, Mistress!"

The steward received the order and retreated respectfully.

A moment later, the steward led in a young man in the disciple uniform of the Tianqing Sect with a slightly fat build.

That round face was full of tension, but he still tried his best to straighten his waist, holding a token solemnly with both hands; it was Lü Ming.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt a heavy sense of oppression rushing toward him.

Zhang Kui stood with his hands behind his back, and those deep eyes fell on him, as if a big mountain was pressing over invisibly.

Lü Ming only felt that his heartbeat seemed to slow down a few beats, and his breathing became difficult, and a layer of fine cold sweat seeped out on his forehead.

He took a deep breath, stabilized his mood, held Jiang Ye's elder token high with both hands, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"I have seen Elder Zhang and Mistress Zhu."

"I am Lü Ming of Tianyangfeng. I came here this time under the order of Elder Jiang to pick up Senior Sister Chen Lili and return to the sect!"

His voice was not loud, but every word was clear, echoing in the silent guest hall.

Zhu Ling acted as if she hadn't heard, looking at Zhang Kui indifferently, leaving everything to this "backer" to decide.

Zhang Kui looked at Lü Ming indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the elder token, and a sneer of disdain curled up at the corners of his mouth:

"Elder Jiang has such a big show! He has only been in the sect for two months, and he is so majestic!"

He paused, his voice suddenly turning cold, "Just sent a disciple under his hand, and wants to pick someone back?"

He walked forward slowly, and every step he took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, and that heavy aura became more intense, pressing Lü Ming to the point of almost retreating.

Zhang Kui looked down at him and said coldly:

"That Chen Lili of your Tianyangfeng, I suspect she is a suspect colluding with the 'Head-Chopping Demon'."

"After I and the Feng family people find out, there will naturally be a decision! It's not your turn to pick her up!"

He paused slightly, a flash of contempt flashing in his eyes: "Now, you can go back to where you came from! Get out!"

Lü Ming's heart trembled suddenly, and a burst of anger surged from the bottom of his heart, but it was suppressed to death by him.

He had long heard of Elder Zhang Kui of Thick Earth Peak, knowing that this person was domineering and strong, but he didn't expect that facing an elder of the same Tianqing Sect, the other party wouldn't give any face at all.

He took a deep breath again, didn't retreat, didn't shrink back, just held the token higher, his voice steady: "Elder Zhang, please..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Kui raised his brows, and a flash of fierce color flashed in his eyes: "I told you to get out! Didn't you hear me!"

"Boom!"

Zhang Kui waved his hand directly and slapped Lü Ming's face fiercely.

That palm was as wide as a mountain, and the force was heavy. Even without using true qi, the force of this slap was enough to make an ordinary person faint on the spot.

"Slap!"

A heavy sound exploded in the guest hall.

A fiery palm print appeared on Lü Ming's little fat face immediately, and his whole person was fanned backward by that huge force, his feet left the ground, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"Ugh..." Lü Ming let out a muffled groan, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and that round face was full of embarrassment.

But he didn't fall, his hands protecting the elder token to death, sticking it to his chest, fearing that it would be stained with a little dust.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ling felt settled in her heart, as if she had taken a reassurance pill.

This Zhang Kui was indeed ruthless and hard enough; facing an elder of the same sect, he could be so ruthless.

She secretly scanned the surroundings.

Not only her, but the stewards, guards, and even several retainers hidden in the dark of the Feng family were all silently observing this scene, their eyes full of awe.

"Hoo... hoo..." Lü Ming gasped for breath, struggling to stand up again.

His face was already swollen beyond recognition, and the blood stains dripped down his chin, but there was no sign of retreat in his eyes.

He knew he had lost face for Elder Jiang, but he couldn't retreat, couldn't fall.

The token in his hand represented Elder Jiang's dignity.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Kui raised his brows again, and a flash of fierce color flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect this little fatty to dare to stand up.

"Looking for death!"

He took a step forward, and his whole person instantly arrived in front of Lü Ming, his speed so fast that Lü Ming couldn't react at all.

Another slap was fanned out, this time with greater force, directly fanning Lü Ming's other side of the face.

"Slap!"

The sound was crisp and ruthless, and Lü Ming flew backward like a broken kite, falling heavily several meters away, rolling twice, his forehead hitting the blue stone ground, seeping out a piece of blood.

Tianyangfeng, inside the herb garden.

Jiang Ye, sitting cross-legged on the ground, had his aura suddenly shake, like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand layers of waves.

In the dantian, the four-colored true qi was flowing wildly.

The red-gold fire-attribute true qi was as scorching as flames, the water-blue water-attribute true qi was as long as a river, the pale green wood-attribute true qi was full of vitality, and the pale yellow earth-attribute true qi was as heavy as a mountain.

The four forces intertwined and entangled, generating and helping each other, forming a gorgeous halo, illuminating the entire dantian.

And that eighth regular meridian was in this halo, like a closed gate, waiting for the final impact.

"Clack—"

A crisp sound, like ice cracking, like bamboo joints being pulled up.

That barrier finally collapsed in front of him, and the eighth regular meridian was opened.

The aura around his body suddenly soared, like a broken levee, sweeping in all directions.

"Boom—!"

A strong wind blew in the herb garden, those blood-red Tiankui Grasses were blown crooked, and even the Azure Wood Vine in the distance was trembling slightly.

The birds within a hundred meters screamed and flew into the sky, the sound of flapping wings was continuous, and even the chirping of insects in the grass stopped abruptly.

Jiang Ye stood up slowly, his thin spine straight, like a spear.

He looked down at his hands and clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body.

Late-stage of the Embracing the Pill Realm.

Four of the five elements have been obtained, eight regular meridians have been opened, and his strength has gone up another level.

"Hmm? Lü Ming hasn't returned yet."

Jiang Ye's gaze looked slowly toward the outside of the herb garden.

Afterward, he waved his sleeve and walked down the mountain. ===== CHAPTER 135 =====
