Chapter 322

"Xuanlan".

Upon the first exchange, Li Miao had actually been secretly surprised—this realm, one of the three natures, shouldn't be so easy to deal with.

At the very least, it shouldn't be as simple as "very strong protective True Qi." If Zheng Qi could crack the wonders of this realm after spending a few decades, then Yingzhou shouldn't have been able to inherit it until now; it should have been wiped out by Penglai long ago.

Zheng Anqi's strange, suddenly surging strength should be one of the true wonders of the "Xuanlan" realm.

Li Miao beckoned to Zheng Anqi. It looked like a provocation, but his True Qi and strength were already secretly operating, and his gaze was fixed on Zheng Anqi, paying attention to every detail on his body.

Sure enough, many unusual movements appeared on Zheng Anqi's body.

His arms, which looked slightly thinner compared to Li Miao's, bulged under his robes. The silver ingots under his feet were faintly deformed, as if his weight was changing silently.

Most importantly, the protective True Qi lingering around his body was no longer floating in mid-air, but fell lightly, fitting onto Zheng Anqi's body, faintly forming a light and transparent—Daoist robe.

Li Miao smiled.

"Is it a bit late to start showing your true skills now?"

Zheng Anqi walked over, didn't pick up Li Miao's words, but said to himself.

"Li Miao... is this the name you chose for yourself?"

Li Miao raised an eyebrow.

"If you want to change your name, I can choose one for you, how about Li Xiaowu?"

Zheng Anqi nodded seriously.

"If I am the one who survives today, after I destroy Yingzhou in the future, I will change my name... perhaps to Li."

"Li Miao, although you were left outside and didn't get the Yingzhou inheritance, you are also very lucky not to have inherited this shitty surname, nor were you born with shackles."

"Penglai's departure, Yingzhou's civil strife, and my appearance in the Central Plains today are all because of this dirty surname, and the 'Xuanlan' planted in our bodies along with this surname."

Swish!

Before the words were finished, Zheng Anqi appeared in front of Li Miao in an instant, chopping down with a single palm, bringing up a shrill wind!

Li Miao raised his hand and punched back!

A dull, huge sound echoed, and the flesh on Li Miao's fist actually shattered instantly!

"Sure enough, it's different now."

Li Miao's gaze condensed. Zheng Anqi's strength now exceeded his, and the toughness of his muscles and bones was the same. In a pure collision of strength, Li Miao had fallen into a disadvantage.

But this instead made the corners of Li Miao's mouth curl up even more!

Rather, this was the opponent Li Miao liked the most!

In an instant, he turned his fist into a claw! Li Miao flipped his hand and gripped Zheng Anqi's wrist, his figure turned and drilled into Zheng Anqi's embrace, flipping his elbow to smash toward his face!

Zheng Anqi raised his arm to collide with Li Miao's elbow, and then also gripped Li Miao's arm, locking him in his embrace!

At this moment, the dharma robe formed by the protective True Qi on his body rolled, and cold light radiated from the thin-as-a-cicada-wing hem, suddenly attacking Li Miao's back neck!

Zheng Anqi's mouth curled up.

And then he was suddenly kicked in the chin by a foot from bottom to top, his head tilted back, and his vision went black!

"Front Lotus, haven't seen it before, right!"

The strength conducted to his brain along his skull. In a trance, Zheng Anqi's strength unloaded, and the fingers gripping Li Miao's arm loosened involuntarily, only to be grabbed by Li Miao again!

Just kicked away by Li Miao, his toes just left the ground, and Zheng Anqi was pulled down by Li Miao again!

In mid-air, Zheng Anqi's eyes finally condensed. When he came to his senses, Li Miao's fist had already smashed into his chest! He barely raised his hand, and the dharma robe condensed by True Qi blocked in front of the fist!

Bang!

Zheng Anqi was in mid-air, his body involuntarily flying backward!

Li Miao followed with a step, grabbed Zheng Anqi's ankle, and pulled him back again! His arm muscles bulged, and the clothes on his back were torn open, revealing muscles intertwined like tree roots!

Bang!

Another punch, the dharma robe condensed by True Qi fluctuated like water waves, and a sharp pain had already come from the flesh on Zheng Anqi's chest!

Zheng Anqi's pupils shrank!

He had just let go of his heart knot and truly started to use the wonders of the "Xuanlan" realm, yet Li Miao had already shaken this wonder!

And he knew that Li Miao couldn't stop there!

His arm was grabbed, and his body, which was originally flying backward, was pulled back again! The speed was so fast and the force so great that his clothes were being cut by the air, fluttering in mid-air like butterflies!

Li Miao's ferocious smile appeared in front of him.

Crack.

The stone slabs and gold and silver under Li Miao's feet shattered, and his fully extended arm pushed his arm like a large bow! This third punch, far exceeding the previous two, imprinted on Zheng Anqi's chest again!

The dharma robe rippled like water, and then shattered helplessly!

"Ugh!"

The smell of rust surged into his nasal cavity from his throat. Zheng Anqi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in mid-air, rolled several times on the ground, stood up with a flip, and raised his hand to cover his chest.

"The bones are fine... but the flesh is damaged."

Zheng Anqi looked up at Li Miao.

Li Miao looked at the damaged flesh on his fist, brushed it off with a swish, and looked at Zheng Anqi with a smile.

"Pretty impressive."

"This is the true Xuanlan, right? The strength I used just now carried a vibrating force. It took three consecutive punches on that protective True Qi to barely break it."

"Why didn't you use it before?"

The protective True Qi on Zheng Anqi's body flowed like water, filling the gap forcibly smashed by Li Miao.

"Because it's disgusting."

Li Miao sneered.

"Preferring to be beaten flying all over the sky, only willing to use it when you know you might die. What kind of arrangement is your Yingzhou inheritance, all of you so bitter and deep?"

Zheng Anqi replied in a deep voice.

"If you win, I'll tell you."

"Good!"

He was dozens of yards away when he spoke, and the tail of his voice had already reached him! Li Miao pounced forward again, sweeping his leg across Zheng Anqi's side ribs!

————————

Zheng Yi slashed open Liu Chun's chest with a sword and kicked him to the ground. Then she flashed and caught up with Shou Xia, who was fleeing in a panic, about to behead him!

"Senior Zheng... leave a living one!"

Cao Hanyan shouted from the side.

Zheng Yi's sword stopped on Shou Xia's shoulder, pressing down, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

Only then did Cao Hanyan run over, panting, his chest heaving.

He had gone into battle before his injuries were fully healed, and after dispersing the commoners, he followed Zheng Yi to chase and kill the three fleeing Garrison Eunuchs. Being able to hold on until now was already very difficult.

Zheng Yi looked at him with complex eyes, pursed her lips, wanted to apologize, but couldn't say it.

Cao Hanyan caught his breath, stepped forward, gripped Shou Xia's head, and asked.

"Eunuch Shou, I have a question."

"Although the wealth on the street just now was a lot, it should look like a lot less than the wealth you've collected over the decades... where is the other wealth?"

Shou Xia's eyeballs rolled, wanting to quibble, but his head felt a sharp pain.

He cried out in pain: "Shuntian! Shuntian!"
