Chapter 16

Seeing the opponent make a move, Li She did not hesitate. He fiercely kicked at the opponent's head with the powerful "Shaolin Spring Leg" technique. Even if the opponent managed to snatch the jade seal from his hand, Li She would kick the opponent in the head at the same time, and with such a kick, the opponent would either die or be crippled.

The old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Just by feeling the wind from the incoming kick, he could sense the force behind it. It seemed he had underestimated his opponent.

The hand that was originally reaching for the jade seal pulled back, and his body leaned back into a bridge position, dodging the kick aimed at his head. He quickly changed his move to evade the attack and, while supporting himself with one foot, accurately kicked Li She's chin with the other.

The old man's ability to counterattack while defusing Li She's attack showed that his cultivation was definitely higher than Hu Sanjiang and Xu Kun. Li She could fight Hu Sanjiang and Xu Kun simultaneously and leave them unable to retaliate, but this old man's techniques and strength were a level higher than Hu Sanjiang and the others.

Li She blocked the opponent's precise kick with his arm, and the pain and immense impact sent him flying.

"Damn! An expert in transformational strength? An expert in internal martial arts? Bloody hell, did I not check the almanac today? Why are all these old monsters appearing? First, a hidden psychic, now a transformational strength expert. This is life-threatening!" Li She thought to himself.

In mid-air, Li She gathered all his Nine Yang True Qi, focusing it on his left index finger. He channeled all his true qi into a "One Yang Finger" technique, which emitted a visible red true qi that moved as fast as a bullet, piercing through the old man's shoulder with a "whoosh."

The old man let out a惨叫, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Li She, who had used all his strength to launch this "One Yang Finger" technique, also suffered. The internal injuries he had previously controlled were aggravated, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Li She dragged his exhausted body away quietly.

The injured old man slowly stood up, a coin-sized transparent hole in his shoulder oozing blood.

The pale-faced old man, instead of being distressed, was unusually excited. He muttered, "Internal energy, it's actually internal energy? Hahaha! I never thought that such internal energy still exists in this world! Hahaha, little guy, you can't run away."

He pressed a few acupoints on his shoulder to stop the bleeding, took out a handkerchief, and dabbed it in the blood Li She had spat out. Carefully folding it, he turned and left.

After several detours, Li She returned to his apartment. Closing the door, he immediately sat on the ground in a cross-legged position. The "One Yang Finger" technique he had used with all his strength had severely injured the opponent, but it had also left him in a bad state. How could a second-tier expert release true qi externally? He had no choice but to risk injury to unexpectedly injure the opponent. The longer he stayed, the more dangerous it would become. He didn't know if the opponent had any backup plans, so after suppressing the surging blood, he prepared to leave that night.

After causing such a commotion, he believed that all the checkpoints in the capital would be on high alert. It would be very difficult to leave with the jade seal. As Li She was pondering how to take the jade seal out, the spirit of the artifact excitedly said, "Hahaha! Kid, you've really hit the jackpot this time. I never thought that such pure 'dragon blood' still exists in your world. It's even divine dragon blood."

"Big brother Artifact Spirit, I'm injured so badly, how can this be a profit? I'm half-dead, with internal injuries and damaged meridians. Damn, fifty million! I've lost a fortune," Li She said weakly.

"Ah, those are minor issues. Do you know what this 'dragon blood' represents? It's divine dragon blood, enough to travel through countless worlds several times, directly converting into 100,000 energy points. That's not the key; the key is that the 'dragon blood' can directly unlock the restrictions of the 'Divine Thief Token.' Do you know? It has directly unlocked six layers of restrictions. Now, the 'Divine Thief Token' has unlocked seven layers of restrictions, reaching the level of stealing everything and stealing luck. This means you can steal things from countless worlds and bring them back to the real world," the Artifact Spirit said excitedly.

The Artifact Spirit had thought it would take Li She at least a hundred years to unlock the seventh layer of restrictions, but he had managed to unlock it in just a few months.

Hearing the Artifact Spirit's words, Li She was stunned and couldn't believe it. He had suffered severe internal injuries to unlock one layer of restrictions, and he had thought it would take great effort to unlock the next layer. He never expected that the 'dragon blood' in the jade seal could unlock the seventh layer of restrictions. What exactly was 'dragon blood'?

As Li She was feeling both pain and excitement, he faintly heard the wailing of police sirens outside. It seemed the entire capital was now under lockdown. Although his plan was thorough, plans often don't keep up with changes. He had originally thought that he would not alarm the others in the Liu family courtyard, and after eliminating an internal martial arts expert, he would steal the jade seal smoothly. Even if the Liu family reacted, it would take at least one to two hours for the entire capital to be on lockdown, giving him enough time to escape. If he was surrounded by three experts and got injured, he would hide in other secret locations until the situation cooled down. He had considered all possibilities, but he hadn't expected an unexpected expert to appear. Normally, he might have been a bit excited to encounter a transformational strength expert, but at that moment, he had no choice but to use the "One Yang Finger" technique to release true qi externally and injure the opponent.

However, after hearing the Artifact Spirit's words, Li She was once again excited. The gains were beyond his imagination. With his internal injuries worsened, it would be very difficult to leave the capital with the jade seal, and his injuries were severe. Even if it was just Hu Sanjiang and Xu Kun, he might not be able to handle them. He never expected that the 'dragon blood' in the jade seal could provide 100,000 energy points, allowing him to travel to low-level martial arts worlds like "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" at least five times.

Moreover, he couldn't stay in China anymore. The jade seal was meant to prolong the life of Old Master Liu. Stealing it was equivalent to indirectly causing Old Master Liu's death. The Liu family would not let this go and would use the state machinery to deal with him.

Li She didn't dare to believe that the God of Wealth would be so bold. He might be in trouble himself. On the way back, he had encountered a transformational strength old man. Although the old man was injured by him due to carelessness, there was no guarantee that the old man didn't have any fellow experts. If they were all transformational strength experts, could he handle them in his current state?

Li She's lips curled into a wicked smile as he muttered, "Hmph! I'll just disappear from the world and give you a big surprise when I return. Big brother Artifact Spirit, can I choose the time to enter the countless worlds? Can I choose a time before the story begins?"

"Of course, time is like a horizontal coordinate, and space is like a vertical coordinate. As long as there is a clear location and coordinates, I can break through the barriers of the world," the Artifact Spirit said arrogantly.

"Good, Big brother Artifact Spirit. Enter the 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' world, choose the cave in Wuliang Mountain where the 'Northern Mystic Power' is hidden, and set the time ten years before Duan Yu enters," Li She said firmly.

"No problem! Get ready! Let's go," the Artifact Spirit said with a smile.

With the Artifact Spirit's words, the Divine Thief Token emitted a blinding light, and with a "whoosh," Li She disappeared from the room. In his haste, he only took the jade seal, leaving everything else behind.

On the other hand, the old man who was injured by Li She staggered back to a courtyard in the Second Ring Road. This residence was just a few streets away from the Liu family courtyard. Entering the room, the old man endured the pain, took off his coat, and saw the coin-sized wound on his shoulder. Although he had stopped the bleeding by pressing acupoints, the burning pain still stimulated his nerves. The wound, which looked like it had been burned by a flame, was surrounded by large blisters, red and swollen.

The old man took some medicine from a drawer, swallowed a few pills, and calmed down. Looking at the terrifying wound on his shoulder, he felt a burning pain that seemed to be spreading.

"This is definitely internal energy, definitely! Hahaha, I never thought it would be internal energy, and even true qi released externally. But that little guy seems to have practiced inadequately, and he must have been injured by forcefully releasing true qi! Hmph, we will meet again! I will make you reveal the secret of internal energy!" the old man said.

After a simple treatment, the old man got up and dialed several phone numbers.

"Old Black, I have a way to unlock the shackles. Come to my house!"

"Swine Butcher, I have a way to unlock the shackles. Come to my house."

"Fake Monk, I have a way to unlock the shackles. Come to my house."

"Ox Nose, I have a way to unlock the shackles. Come to my house."

The old man made six calls in one breath, saying the same thing, and then hung up.

The six people who received the old man's calls were all stunned for a moment, then broke into ecstatic smiles and rushed to the capital from all over the world.

As the Liu family mobilized the state machinery, revealing its bloodthirsty fangs and locking down the entire capital, determined to kill the thief who stole the jade seal and make those who dared to challenge the Liu family pay, Li She had already left this world and entered the countless worlds.

Old Master Liu, indeed, died after the jade seal failed to prolong his life and after being affected by Li She's "dispersing power and mind-controlling incense," which was classified as a biochemical weapon. The double blow was fatal.

With the state machinery in full swing, the real Wang Qiang was found. Wang Qiang, hidden in a van, was knocked out before he could see anyone. He was given a sedative and remained unconscious. No useful clues were obtained from Wang Qiang.

The God of Wealth, who was well-informed, or the organization, immediately went into hiding after Li She stole the jade seal. The death of one of China's few remaining great generals made the Liu family roar like a awakened lion. Anyone or any organization was insignificant in the face of the state machinery.

To avoid drawing attention, the God of Wealth naturally went into hiding.
