Chapter 79: Qi Prohibition
After Su Xuan killed Mo Ya lightly.
Ji Wuye knew that Su Xuan's strength was not low and had guessed Su Xuan's strength.
Mo Ya was an Innate expert. Placed at the Innate level, although not top-notch, he was definitely not weak. Su Xuan being able to kill Mo Ya proved that Su Xuan was at least an Innate expert, or even an Innate peak expert.
There was also a possibility that Su Xuan had already surpassed the Innate and reached the Grandmaster level where one could establish a sect.
But thinking of Su Xuan's age, Ji Wuye rejected this conjecture.
He didn't know how old Su Xuan really was, but he looked to be about twenty years old. There were very few Grandmaster-level experts around the age of twenty in the world, and such experts would only come from the famous sects of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
That's right, even Ji Wuye wouldn't deny that such geniuses really existed.
The Hundred Schools of Thought, especially those famous schools that ranked at the forefront, had produced experts in every generation. A Grandmaster expert around the age of twenty was not something unimaginable.
But this was limited to those famous schools.
Although Su Xuan's methods were not low and his origin was mysterious, Ji Wuye firmly believed that he would definitely not be a Grandmaster-level expert.
Earlier, after Mo Ya died, he didn't rush to deal with him, not because Su Xuan's strength was powerful and he was helpless, but because it was unnecessary. If he really wanted to act ruthlessly, it wasn't impossible to kill a mere Innate peak expert.
The heavy crossbows of the State of Han were famous in the world. With multiple heavy crossbows and an arrow formation, even a Grandmaster expert would have to drink a pot, let alone a mere Innate.
Now, seeing Su Xuan walking in the flames created by Yan Lingji, Ji Wuye was horrified.
He guessed wrong.
Su Xuan was not an Innate peak expert, he wasn't even a Grandmaster, but... a Grandmaster!
Experts of the Grandmaster level could be counted on one's fingers in the world.
At least, as far as Ji Wuye knew, the only experts suspected to be at the Grandmaster level were Master Beiming of the Daoist School, Donghuang Taiyi, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, the Mohist leader Six-Fingered Black Hero, and Guiguzi of the Ghost Valley School.
These senior experts either had no fame and had never shown traces of existence in the world, or were people of high virtue and prestige.
But from the fact that they could have such a reputation, they were at least experts at the Grandmaster level.
As for above the Grandmaster level, Ji Wuye had never thought about it, nor dared to think about it.
In the end, he was just someone who practiced external martial arts. At least, he had never heard of any external martial arts expert reaching a realm above the Grandmaster level. Because he hadn't heard of the scenery above the Grandmaster level, he defaulted to its non-existence.
He never expected that this young brat Su Xuan would be a Grandmaster-level expert on par with these senior experts.
This shocked him incomparably.
Immediately, he rejected this conjecture again.
"He absolutely cannot be a Grandmaster!"
Entering fire without heat, flames being difficult to disturb Su Xuan, looked like the "entering fire without heat" method that only Grandmasters possessed, but it wasn't that only those who reached the Grandmaster level could do such things.
After all, the world is vast and full of wonders. There are always some unique martial arts and arts that can ignore the invasion of flames.
Since Su Xuan possessed the ability to summon wind and rain, ignoring the offensive of flames could barely be understood.
Ji Wuye became more and more firm in his judgment.
Afterward, looking at Su Xuan, his murderous intent became more fierce.
The more methods Su Xuan showed, the more wary he was of Su Xuan.
Even if Su Xuan suppressed Yan Lingji at this moment, he wouldn't be proud for long.
Yan Lingji was shocked that Su Xuan ignored the flames she released, but wanting her to surrender and give up treatment just like that was clearly an impossible thing.
Even if the odds of winning were slim, she ultimately had to try.
As for running away?
She wanted to.
Yan Lingji could feel that a breath of energy had been firmly locked on her body, and this breath of energy originated from the person in front of her.
In other words, without defeating the person in front of her, she couldn't even think about escaping.
More terrifying flames were released by her.
Su Xuan ignored it. Yan Lingji continued to issue slashes with the Fire Spirit Hairpin. Su Xuan raised his hand, and the energy between his fingers flew away, easily blocking the energy.
Finally, when he arrived not far in front of Yan Lingji, only Su Xuan's cold voice echoed, "Prohibit!"
As soon as this word came out, it was as if he held the law of heaven in his mouth, hooking the laws between heaven and earth. In an instant, the heaven and earth energy around him all disappeared, and the flames Yan Lingji urged also disappeared with the disappearance of the heaven and earth energy.
So-called arts, seemingly more mysterious and gorgeous than martial arts, but in reality, they were not that mysterious.
The reason why one could perform arts was nothing more than because the person performing the art knew unique techniques and could use the internal energy in their body to hook the heaven and earth energy outside, draw the energy for their own use, and then evolve it into arts with vast power.
But all of this had a prerequisite, and that was the existence of heaven and earth energy!
If there was no heaven and earth energy, those who relied on arts to attack would only be beaten by ordinary martial artists with fierce skills.
Although Yan Lingji's ability to fight at close quarters was not too bad, her strength was clearly in the art of manipulating flames.
When Su Xuan used the art of "Qi Prohibition" to temporarily seal the energy of the heaven and earth around him, her art was immediately broken. ===== CHAPTER 81 =====
