Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Complete Power Suppression _1
"Today, I’m also going to teach you a lesson, that commoners can never contend with our kind of cultivation sect! You’re not qualified!"
With the last four words, Liang Hao deliberately added emphasis, almost gnashing his teeth as he spoke them.
After three exchanges, Liang Hao was unscathed, but his patience had also run dry.
No matter what, he couldn’t believe that his attacks had no killing power against Ye Ming. In his last strike, he had used all his methods, hoping to end the fight, but Ye Ming was still able to get up quickly after falling to the ground, like an indestructible cockroach.
In Liang Hao’s eyes, Ye Ming was nothing more than an ant-like existence. Why couldn’t he kill him instantly?
With this thought, Liang Hao became more and more angry and held nothing back.
He used all his techniques and lashed out with a whip kick towards Ye Ming’s head.
His kick, powerful enough to snap a steel bar, was augmented by the unique martial arts of Mingxuan Pavilion. If Ye Ming were hit, he would die on the spot.
Seeing the attack coming with a residual shadow, Ye Ming didn’t dare to relax and immediately raised his hand to block.
With a bang, Ye Ming’s body rapidly retreated, violently crashing into the wall.
Seeing Ye Ming in such a sorry state, Liang Hao burst into loud laughter, "Admit it, even if you were very powerful, you could never be a match for our Mingxuan Pavilion. We are true cultivators, while you’re at best a brute with sheer strength!"
"You must have already felt the gap between us. You can hand over the marriage contract now. Also, there’s no need for you to attend the Martial Artist Convention. With your skills, you’d only embarrass yourself."
Ye Ming exhaled a breath of stale air and climbed out of the indentation in the wall, his gaze still filled with resolute determination, unchanged.
He looked at Liang Hao and said coldly, "I already told you, I have my own principles in doing things, and I’ve never liked being lectured by others. You’re even less qualified!"
"I will definitely defeat you."
Liang Hao laughed even more wildly and said, "Since you’ve said that, I won’t hold back."
"If you don’t hand over the marriage contract obediently today, I will cripple you. Don’t worry, I won’t let you die. I’ll make you wish you were dead, turning you into a cripple!"
Having said that, Liang Hao channeled all his strength and launched another attack at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming clenched his teeth tightly and raised his hand to block.
Bang!
Ye Ming flew out once more, crashing into the interior of the wall.
He climbed out with difficulty and launched an attack again.
...
Time and again, he launched attacks and was repeatedly sent flying.
Ye Ming spat out blood, his facial expression grew increasingly ferocious, and his fighting spirit intensified.
He had never experienced such an exhilarating fight, even if he was the one getting hit, it was just as thrilling.
But now, Liang Hao couldn’t laugh anymore.
He initially thought that Ye Ming was just a brute with basic fighting skills, who could be killed in a few moves without any effort. But as the fight continued, he was growing exhausted, while Ye Ming was still stubborn, attacking again and again as if he would never tire.
What shocked Liang Hao more was that each of Ye Ming’s attacks seemed to be more ferocious than the last.
Finally, after the fifth move, on the sixth, Liang Hao wasn’t careful, and his chest was struck by Ye Ming.
After a muffled thud, Liang Hao’s body immediately flew backwards and violently smashed into a tree within the courtyard, shaking down a shower of leaves that nearly covered him.
Liang Hao spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief as his eyes widened, staring intently at Ye Ming.
He hadn’t expected that Ye Ming, who had taken many of his moves, could still unleash such a powerful attack. This was unreasonable, unscientific.
But the reality was right in front of him; under his own unjustified self-belittlement and arrogant self-importance, he had been struck by the very ’commoner’ he had looked down upon.
The power of that punch made Liang Hao feel as though he was about to fall apart.
"Good lad, you indeed have some skills, but you’re still far from enough!"
At this point, Liang Hao was like a cooked duck, only left with hard words.
He glared at Ye Ming hatefully and said coldly, "Today I’ll let you off, but wait till the martial artists’ conference. There will be a time for you to kneel and beg for mercy from me!"
After dropping those words, Liang Hao mustered all his strength and immediately leapt over the villa’s wall, disappearing from Ye Ming’s sight.
Ye Ming didn’t plan on chasing.
He exhaled a breath of foul air and collapsed onto the ground, hastily regulating his breath.
The recent fight had drained all of his True Qi, leaving him completely exhausted.
On top of that, he had sustained severe injuries from being thrown around multiple times by Liang Hao.
After this battle, Ye Ming truly understood his own strength and recognized his shortcomings.
The former him had been too focused on leveling up, completely neglecting the importance of combat techniques and skillful use of martial arts.
Since his previous enemies were not as strong as Liang Hao, he could overcome them with brute strength, which led to him being caught off guard by a true expert and almost losing his life.
Fortunately, no matter how powerful the martial technique might be, it’s essentially a set of attack patterns and moves. Even if the technique is unique, it still relies on True Qi at its core. Although Ye Ming defeated his opponent through the empowerment of True Qi, there was no guarantee what kind of masters might come next time.
Thinking ahead to the upcoming martial artists’ conference, Ye Ming knew there would be many experts like Liang Hao. If he wanted to shine at the conference, he needed to continue enhancing his strength.
It didn’t take long for Ye Ming to find the records of a martial art technique in his mind.
It was a technique called the Sky-shattering Stone Technique.
It contained various moves and combinations, and Ye Ming also learned that mastering this technique to the highest level could achieve an effect that could literally shatter the sky.
After a busy day, Lin Bingqing and Jiang Rou returned to the villa and were very worried for Ye Ming when they saw the mess all over.
Seeing Ye Ming’s disheveled state, Jiang Rou was greatly distressed and hurriedly insisted that he rest.
Lin Bingqing also frowned, sensing an ominous premonition rising in her heart.
Her worry outweighed her fear.
In her heart, Ye Ming had always been an insurmountable presence, but now, seeing him gravely injured, how could she not be scared? Could there be even greater masters out there?
Ye Ming gave a faint smile and reassured, "It’s okay, I was just sparring with a hidden expert in the world. These injuries are nothing!"
"In the next few days, I’ll leave my mother in your care, as I’ll need to go into seclusion for a while to heal and cultivate!"
Ye Ming said to Lin Bingqing with great seriousness.
