Chapter 51: The Blue-Shirted Youth

Whoosh!

A figure slowly descended from the sky to the ground.

It was a youth of seventeen or eighteen, Yang Qi, who was on his way to the Heavenly Position Academy. He had just left the territory of Yan Capital and slowly landed after flying a thousand miles.

Looking around, he saw a network of roads leading to various distant places, villages, county towns, waterways, and large cities scattered across the mountains and plains. In the far distance, a series of mountains stretched along the horizon, blocking the view.

Yang Qi took out a map from his chest, confirmed his direction, and nodded.

The journey to the Heavenly Position Academy was long and arduous, and with his abilities, it would take a considerable amount of time, not just a day or two. This was a test for him, who had never traveled far from home.

However, it was also very exciting.

From childhood to now, the farthest he had ever traveled was to hunt in the Black Corpse Mountains.

He had heard stories about the outside world but had never seen it for himself. Now, finally setting out on a long journey, he felt an incredible sense of novelty.

Breathing in the crisp air of late autumn, he felt refreshed and invigorated.

Suddenly, a strong aura of killing intent came from the distant road. Yang Qi focused his gaze and saw a group of soldiers galloping and rampaging, burning and looting everywhere. Villages were being destroyed, flames raging, and people were being killed and burned.

This place was no longer within the jurisdiction of Yan Capital but in a region called Red Leaf City. The road was lined with tall red-leaf trees, now bare.

Yang Qi had landed outside a county town in a remote area of Red Leaf City.

The soldiers seemed to have captured the county town and were burning and looting within it. They wore white armor embroidered with blue oceans.

In an instant, Yang Qi recognized them as the army of Cloud Sea City!

Each city's army had unique symbols, and the army of Cloud Sea City wore white cloud armor with ocean patterns. Yang Qi had seen the experts of Cloud Sea City, including Yun Hai Lan, wearing this armor, so he instantly recognized them.

"Cloud Sea Kingdom's soldiers have actually slaughtered their way here? Then it won't be long before they reach Yan Capital?"

Yang Qi was startled. He knew that Cloud Sea City had become a kingdom, the Cloud Sea Kingdom, with its ruler, Yun Zhonglong, being a man of great talent and deep martial arts. Yun Hai Lan also had great ambitions and had connections with the Sea Race and the Sea God Academy.

"Ha ha..."

A group of soldiers came out of the county town, each riding a large horse. Behind the horses, they carried naked women, constantly mocking and molesting them.

The women were crying and screaming, but the soldiers, filled with murderous intent and cruel hearts, paid no attention. Yang Qi even saw one woman's tongue cut off by a soldier because she had shouted too much.

"These beasts."

Yang Qi cursed in his heart and took a large step forward.

"Stop! Who are you?"

Suddenly, the soldiers in front noticed Yang Qi. One of them pointed his long sword, and a surge of true qi flowed into the blade, making it hum as if it were alive. The true qi on the blade cut through the air, aiming to strike Yang Qi from a hundred paces away.

It was a martial arts expert who had reached the sixth stage of "Soldier Qi." Clearly, he was a commander among the soldiers, exuding a fierce aura, as if the souls of many people were wailing, a result of countless killings.

It was this commander who had just cut off the tongue of a woman behind him.

"I am here to kill you."

Yang Qi pointed his finger, and the blade's qi that reached him shattered instantly. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a flash of true qi and blade light swept past, and the commander's head fell to the ground, rolling and shouting in shock, "So fast...!"

"Enemy attack!"

The soldiers behind the commander all let out long cries, drawing their weapons and charging at Yang Qi.

These soldiers' martial arts were quite ordinary, mostly at the third or fourth stage, unable to project true qi externally. However, their skills had been honed in battle, especially in the use of bows, crossbows, and javelins.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of javelins shot through the air, their force enough to pierce a bull.

The crossbows were powerful, shooting iron arrows that could penetrate iron armor within a hundred paces, and they were spiral crossbows, specifically designed to break defensive true qi.

Even a martial arts expert below the seventh stage would have died instantly if caught off guard by these soldiers. Unfortunately for them, they had encountered Yang Qi.

A surge of qi surrounded Yang Qi's body, and with a powerful shock, all the iron javelins and arrows stopped in mid-air, frozen in a magical scene.

Then, with a series of whooshes, the javelins and arrows shot back at ten times their original speed, and the soldiers, unable to resist, were killed on the spot without even a chance to scream.

In that instant, dozens of elite soldiers were killed.

However, as Yang Qi killed these elite soldiers, the words "enemy attack" were transmitted far and wide.

A long cry echoed from the distant county town.

The many houses in the town trembled, and tiles on the roofs of civilian homes fell continuously, the sound waves showing the power of an extraordinary expert, shaking the heavens and earth.

Whoosh!

A figure appeared on the city wall of the county town. This figure wore a blue robe and had a pair of sea-blue wings extending out for several yards. When flapped, they created a whirlwind, and these wings were also a high-level martial arts technique, allowing the person to glide through the air with great skill.

"A Qi Master!"

Yang Qi recognized the figure as a Qi Master from the sound alone.

A ninth-stage martial arts expert was enough to be the lord of any city, ruling a region. To appear in the army of Cloud Sea City was unusual. This Qi Master arrived extremely quickly, almost as soon as the cry began, appearing on the city wall and shooting toward Yang Qi with the flapping of his wings, while the army below shouted in unison.

Yang Qi stood still, waiting to see who the newcomer was.

As far as he knew, there was only one Qi Master in Cloud Sea City, Yun Zhonglong, but this was clearly not him.

The blue-robed figure landed in front of Yang Qi, a young man who looked to be under thirty.

A Qi Master under thirty?

This was not just a genius. If a Qi Master under thirty appeared in Yan Capital, it would cause a sensation, and the surrounding dozens of cities within a thousand miles would be in an uproar.

"These soldiers were killed by you?" The blue-robed young man looked coldly at the dead soldiers, his eyes expressionless, indifferent, and terrifyingly cold.

"Yes," Yang Qi replied calmly. "Who are you? I don't remember there being a Qi Master like you in Cloud Sea City."

"Cloud Sea City?" The blue-robed young man crossed his arms, looking down at Yang Qi. "I come from the Sea God Academy. Ignorant one, you don't need to know who I am; you just need to tell me who you are. You killed these soldiers, so I will naturally kill you, torture you to death, and record your name in my diary. You should feel honored; I don't kill those without value. The fact that I ask for your name means you are valuable."

"Sea God Academy?"

Yang Qi was startled, knowing it was a massive institution on the continent.

However, after hearing the blue-robed young man's words, his face darkened. "These soldiers were burning, looting, and killing. Do they have any humanity? The Sea God Academy is a prestigious institution; why don't you stop them?"

"You talk too much." The blue-robed young man seemed to lose patience and showed no interest in further conversation, his tone always condescending. "Fine, if you won't tell me your name, I'll capture you and force it out of you. My martial arts include over a hundred forms of torture, and I'll make you beg to speak."

Boom!

The blue-robed young man attacked, spreading his fingers, and a surge of qi pressed down. Instantly, the sound of surging seas came from behind him, and his qi appeared light blue, with the shadow of a giant dragon swirling in the light blue sea qi, its scales and claws flashing in the waves, fierce and terrifying.

"Boundless Sea!"

A palm strike, and the ground shook like a thunderclap.

Yang Qi immediately felt the sky turn a sea blue, a strong fishy smell hit his face, and the air around him turned into heavy seawater. Dark currents shook the ground, and the power of this single palm strike was far greater than that of Yang Xing Shi and Yan Taigun.

To be honest, Yan Taigun and Yang Xing Shi were just "country" farmers who had become Qi Masters, while this blue-robed young man came from the massive Sea God Academy. Their experiences, the application of true qi, various techniques, and the quality of their true qi were not on the same level.

The "Boundless Sea" technique was a king-level martial arts skill!

However, under this attack, Yang Qi remained motionless. As the true qi struck, he suddenly moved, raising his hand and delivering a punch.

This punch was simple and unadorned but incredibly powerful, like the awakening of an ancient beast, a divine being from ancient times, reappearing in the world. His feet were surrounded by black qi, the aura of hell, and he was like an ancient divine elephant, the embodiment of the combined power of all the gods, suppressing countless worlds and the most vicious demons. The concept of power seemed to have been created for him.

The might of this punch.

All the "Boundless Sea" qi was shattered, and the massive punch struck the blue-robed young man's palm, forcing its way into his body.

The young man's face showed disbelief. With just one punch, he was sent flying, his body exploding in the air, the sound of broken tendons and bones echoing.
