Chapter 50: Overbearing

Wang Jianqiang happened to be standing directly opposite Lin Xian'er.

The moment Lin Xian'er left the spatial teleportation, she saw him at first glance; it was too late to hide.

In this instant, the air seemed to freeze.

"Old mongrel, I was just about to go looking for you, I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep."

Amidst the icy voice, a violent burst of Spiritual Power erupted from Lin Xian'er, sweeping over like a hurricane.

Wang Jianqiang's expression changed.

He instantly summoned the Perfect Profound Light Seal, which hovered above his head.

Pale golden light erupted from the seal, forming a light barrier that shielded him within.

Then, he pressed his palm forward.

Five-colored Spirit Light flickered over his five fingers as the Small Five Elements Sword Array condensed into shape, which he compressed into a barrier, forming a second layer of defense.

That was not all; he took out the Perfect Small Thousand Mountain Seal to suppress the area in front of him, forming a third layer of defense.

Immediately after, he draped the Perfect Water Moon Skirt over himself, using the Perfect Profound Water Ring to amplify the power of the Perfect Water Moon Skirt, creating a fourth layer of defense.

After doing all this, he still felt not the slightest sense of security, and without a moment's pause, he activated the Perfect Wind Chasing Boots, fleeing toward the outside of the Square at top speed.

Just as Wang Jianqiang turned around.

The terrifying Spiritual Power storm swept in.

The Perfect Profound Light Seal was instantly sent flying, and the pale golden light barrier shattered.

The Small Five Elements Sword Array, which had been invincible in the past, was no longer formidable when facing a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage and was instantly destroyed.

The tall Perfect Small Thousand Mountain Seal was then blown away as if it were a toy.

Yet at this moment, Wang Jianqiang had only just escaped a distance of a dozen or so zhang.

The next moment, the storm behind him caught up.

The moonlight radiance outside his body lasted only for an instant before dimming.

Crack!

The Perfect Profound Water Ring shattered directly into two halves.

The Perfect Water Moon Skirt also became tattered.

Wang Jianqiang was sent flying like a ragdoll.

After flying out several dozen zhang, a flash of Spirit Light appeared beneath his feet, and the Perfect Cloud Water Cold Light Sword manifested, barely stopping his backward momentum.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a look of horror flashing across his face.

It was merely a single burst of Spiritual Power.

It didn't even count as a full-fledged attack, yet it had destroyed the defenses he had set up using every means at his disposal.

Is this just entering the Foundation Establishment Stage?

Isn't that too exaggerated?

He subconsciously used the system to check Lin Xian'er's information.

Foundation Establishment Mid-stage!

When he checked Lin Xian'er's cultivation level, he was shocked once again.

Lin Xian'er had actually broken through again!

No wonder her strength was so terrifying!

With his current strength, he might have had some hope of escaping if facing a Cultivator who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage. But in front of a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Cultivator, death was certain.

He must increase his strength!

Thinking of this, he hesitated almost not at all; with a thought, he added all his Cultivation Points to the Years Sacred Body.

"Ding, Years Sacred Body realm increased, current number of Spirit Patterns: 480."

As the system prompt sounded.

Slender light patterns suddenly appeared within Wang Jianqiang's physical body.

With these light patterns crisscrossing, his physical defense increased significantly.

Not only that, his physical strength also rose to a rather astonishing degree.

Before Wang Jianqiang could even savor the pleasure brought by his physical improvement, a whistling sound suddenly struck.

He immediately snapped back to reality, and then he saw a Spirit Palm Print over ten zhang in diameter slapping toward him.

Before the palm print arrived, its terrifying aura had already arrived first.

Wang Jianqiang felt his body sink, and every movement became extremely difficult.

This was even with the amplification of 480 Spirit Patterns; if it had been before he improved the Years Sacred Body, this aura pressure alone would have been enough to pin him to the ground, unable to even pry himself loose.

Size As You Wish!

Wang Jianqiang's expression was grave as he let out a low shout in his heart.

The next moment, his body size suddenly doubled, and his body density doubled along with it.

The power of his physique, originally at 480 Spirit Patterns, doubled, reaching a level comparable to 960 Spirit Patterns.

The aura pressure that had previously made it hard for him to breathe instantly felt like a gentle breeze, no longer able to cause the slightest obstruction.

"Break for me!"

He threw a punch, and the power comparable to 960 Spirit Patterns erupted in full.

Boom!

The Spirit Palm Print shattered instantly.

A powerful force of recoil invaded Wang Jianqiang's body along his arm.

However, facing his powerful physical defense, this recoil force failed to cause the slightest damage.

Wang Jianqiang utilized this force of recoil to escape the Qingshi Square at an astonishing speed.

He rushed rapidly upward, against the current of the Cold Pool.

"How is this possible!"

On the other side, Lin Xian'er was completely stunned.

She was a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Cultivator!

Even a casual palm strike from her would be enough to make an ordinary Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator brace for a serious fight.

Yet Wang Jianqiang was merely at Qi Refining Perfection.

It was already surprising enough that he hadn't been rendered immobile by the aura of her attack, but he had actually neutralized her strike without suffering a single scratch.

Is this something a Qi Refining stage Cultivator can accomplish?

If not for the fact that she could clearly sense Wang Jianqiang's cultivation realm, she would have suspected that Wang Jianqiang was a Foundation Establishment stage Cultivator in disguise.

The next moment, Lin Xian'er regained her composure.

"Old mongrel, you cannot escape."

She let out a cold snort, instantly rushed out of the Square, and chased upward.

If they were in the outside world, with her Foundation Establishment Mid-stage cultivation, she could have caught up to Wang Jianqiang in an instant.

But within the Cold Pool, hindered by the water of the Cold Pool, the faster one moved, the greater the resistance became.

The gap in speed between her and Wang Jianqiang was greatly narrowed.

Even so, after a short quarter of an hour, she still caught up to Wang Jianqiang.

"Go!"

Having learned from the previous lesson, she did not continue to underestimate Wang Jianqiang.

She directly utilized a Talisman Treasure.

A Jade White Small Sword condensed and formed, breaking through the water to stab at Wang Jianqiang.

Sensing the sharp edge attacking from behind.

Wang Jianqiang's expression was grave; he threw out several Perfect Magical Artifacts in succession and then detonated them.

The tyrannical power of the explosion slowed the Jade White Small Sword, while Wang Jianqiang's speed surged from the push of the explosion's force, once again widening the distance from Lin Xian'er.

Lin Xian'er's expression sank, and she waved her hand to retract the Talisman Treasure.

Under the erosion of the Cold Pool water, the power of the Talisman Treasure was greatly suppressed, and the power it erupted with was not much stronger than her own.

Continuing to use it would only be a waste of its usage count.

A moment later.

She caught up to Wang Jianqiang again.

"Lock!"

This time, she reached out and struck out a beam of Spiritual Power.

After this beam of Spiritual Power neared Wang Jianqiang, it suddenly transformed into thousands of hair-thin Spirit Silk Threads that wound toward him.

Wang Jianqiang did not even look back and threw several more Perfect Magical Artifacts downward.

Boom!

Boom~

Amidst the successive sounds of explosions, although the Spirit Silk Threads were incredibly tough and were not destroyed, they were greatly hindered and found it difficult to advance even an inch.

A moment later, when the force of the explosion subsided.

Wang Jianqiang had already escaped the attack range of the Spirit Silk Threads.

"I want to see just how many Magical Artifacts you can detonate."

Seeing this, Lin Xian'er sneered and continued to chase forward.

In the blink of an eye.

The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, had been at it for an entire day.

They were already about to leave the Cold Pool, yet Lin Xian'er still hadn't managed to catch up to Wang Jianqiang.

She was now starting to doubt reality.

If she remembered correctly, during this day of pursuit, Wang Jianqiang had detonated nearly a hundred Magical Artifacts!

Besides that, he had also consumed dozens of Spirit Recovery Pills!

An old piece of trash whose lifespan was coming to an end, yet he possessed so many High-grade Magical Artifacts and Pills!

Even the biological son of the Sect Master of Hehuan Sect couldn't be this extravagant, right?

Splash!

Just at this moment, a sound of breaking water suddenly came from above.

Lin Xian'er looked up.

Wang Jianqiang had already rushed out of the Cold Pool.

Seeing this scene, she felt not the slightest bit of urgency; instead, a sneer appeared on her face.

Inside the Cold Pool, the stronger one's strength, the more one's speed was suppressed.

Once they left the Cold Pool, without the hindrance of the Cold Pool water, she could catch up to that old mongrel in an instant with her Foundation Establishment Mid-stage speed.
