After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 232 No way
The old man in hemp clothing had a solemn expression on his face. He and Lin Xun'er immediately hid themselves, without making a sound or revealing any of their aura.

In the darkness, the sounds of horses' hooves and wheels rolling came from the end of the road.

The carriage didn't look luxurious, but it seemed to exude an invisible pressure.

When they were less than a few dozen feet away from Hundred Refinement City, the guards in the city all seemed to sense something and looked towards the main road outside the city. Each of them was inexplicably trembling with fear.

Fortunately, everyone recognized that the carriage outside the city came from Hundred Refinement Peak, so they did not panic.

"Open the door!"

The coachman drove the carriage to a spot not far from the gate of Bailian City and hurriedly called out to the guards on the city wall.

Upon hearing this, the city's leader wanted to ask a few more questions, but the next moment, he was enveloped by an invisible force and instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Upon seeing this, the guards on the city wall and the martial arts experts stationed there immediately changed their expressions. But before they could react, the carriage curtains not far away started moving without any wind.

Inside the carriage, a figure shrouded in golden true energy glanced at the city, and in an instant, the tightly closed giant city gate of Hundred Refinements City exploded open, turning into dust and rising into the air.

"It is... the Peak!"

Someone cried out in alarm, and immediately the guards of Hundred Refinements City knelt down before the carriage, proclaiming the title of Peak Master.

However, the carriage clearly ignored their intentions and, under the driver's guidance, sped straight through the blasted-open city gate into the city.

Seeing this, the guards and martial arts experts looked up, just about to breathe a sigh of relief. However, the next moment, everyone around felt an extremely terrifying killing intent sweep over their bodies and disappear in a flash.

In an instant, under the blazing torches, the dozens of guards and martial arts masters on the towering city walls of Hundred Refinements City suddenly exploded, leaving only clumps of scarlet blood mist and bone fragments slowly dissipating.

The coachman glanced back, his face turning deathly pale with terror, his hand trembling uncontrollably as he gripped the whip.

As soon as the carriage entered Hundred Refinement City, the overwhelming killing intent was no longer concealed.

Wherever the wheels rolled, the bluestone cracked, an endless gale arose, the lanterns hanging in the shops along the road and the wind chimes on the eaves all exploded, and the roof tiles were swept away by the hurricane.

Under this terrifying aura, the surrounding residents were all trembling with fear, only daring to cower in their rooms and not daring to make a sound.

Meanwhile, Li Musheng, sitting atop the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, glanced towards the direction of Hundred Refinement City's distance from the city gate, then raised an eyebrow:

"The commotion is quite significant. The people who came this time seem to be the peak masters of the Hundred Refinements Peak."

Seemingly sensing Li Musheng's gaze, the carriage that was traveling through the dark streets suddenly burst into pieces, and the coachman and horses were also blasted into fragments by the aftershocks.

Then, a figure surrounded by golden true energy took a step and rose into the air, suddenly ascending to the sky above Hundred Refinement City with boundless killing intent.

Zheng Yunfeng's true appearance was obscured, but the golden true energy surrounding him resembled golden dragons, making him appear dazzlingly golden in the darkness.

At this moment, a terrifying martial arts pressure emanated from his body, causing the surrounding night space to distort and sway. Martial arts masters throughout the city were all suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe, not to mention ordinary people, who all collapsed to the ground, some even losing control of their bladder and bowels.

"It's you?"

Zheng Yunfeng's gaze pierced through the golden true energy surrounding him, looking from the sky above Hundred Refinement City towards Li Musheng atop the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion. His voice was chilling, filled with murderous intent!
Li Musheng sat on the roof ridge of the pavilion, but did not reply. He simply waved to the other party.

“Ignorance and fearlessness!”

The murderous intent and anger in Zheng Yunfeng's eyes were now difficult to contain.

The next moment, he disappeared from the sky above Hundred Refinement City, instantly transforming into a blurry, dazzling golden light that streaked across the night sky.

A trailing golden shadow lingered above several streets in the city before arriving at the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion in the blink of an eye.

Surrounded by true qi, Zheng Yunfeng looked down and glanced down, his eyes falling on the scattered corpses of his son, wife, and a group of Hundred Refinement Peak experts, including the Grand Elder, lying in the ditch below.

"court death!"

Zheng Yunfeng's true energy surged instantly, causing chaos and violence in the true energy of heaven and earth. The clouds above Hundred Refinement City seemed to be collapsing and collapsing.

"Tell the person behind you to get out here!"

Zheng Yunfeng lowered his head and shouted sharply, his voice like thunder.

Even though he was filled with grief and anger, he did not immediately attack Li Musheng below.

Although the messenger insisted that Li Musheng had killed his wife and two sons, Zheng Yunfeng still didn't believe that everything was truly the work of the Li Musheng before him.

The other party was too young, young enough for him to look down on him.

The reason he suppressed his urge to kill him was that he couldn't find any other experts around him.

In Zheng Yunfeng's view, the hidden mastermind must be the real culprit.

At this moment, Li Musheng looked at Zheng Yunfeng above Baixiang Pavilion and suddenly spoke up:
"Show me your skills."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yunfeng's golden true energy paused slightly, and then a sound of extreme anger and laughter rang out.

The next instant, Zheng Yunfeng said nothing more, but slowly raised his hand and clenched his fist. Before the fist was even thrown, the space within ten feet around him collapsed into a vortex, and crack-like golden true energy condensed and swirled at the edge of the vortex.

In an instant, thunder roared in the sky, and the fist's intent seemed to stir the heavens and earth, as if to turn the night sky upside down, and then it enveloped the space within a radius of several dozen feet below, including the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion.

Where the fist swept past, it was as if a golden dragon had descended to earth, and the space folded as if being devoured by a giant beast. The area within a hundred feet was transformed into a violent vortex. Strands of azure-colored light descended from the fist's palm, and at the end of each streak of light hung a blurry mountain shadow, heavier than a mountain, weaving together in the air to form a giant net.

If this punch were to land, everything around it, including the entire Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, would undoubtedly be reduced to dust.

However, the next moment, Zheng Yunfeng suddenly froze, and then a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

The giant net of mountains that his fist had formed suddenly stopped above the roof of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion. The golden vortex of true energy in the entire night sky could not be pushed down no matter what, as if it was blocked by an indestructible force.

"They've finally shown up!"

Zheng Yunfeng suddenly threw another punch.

In an instant, a terrifying fist intent, seemingly capable of suppressing heaven and earth and being indestructible, soared into the sky. The domineering golden light of true energy, like the sun, pierced through the darkness above Hundred Refinement City, projecting a towering golden pillar of light.

At the same time, it seemed as if all the true energy of heaven and earth in the entire Hundred Refinements City had suddenly vanished, all of it being absorbed into the space between Zheng Yunfeng's two fists by the Swallowing Rainbow.

At this moment, the unparalleled essence of boxing in the martial arts world of Dali, and the vast and powerful true energy of heaven and earth, all pressed down on Li Musheng, who was sitting on the top of Baixiang Pavilion.

If Zheng Yunfeng had landed those two punches, without a doubt, the entire block where Baixiang Pavilion is located would have been reduced to ruins, with the ground sinking three feet deep!

……

In the mountains outside Hundred Refinement City, the old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er quietly hid behind a rock.

Both the old man and the child stared wide-eyed at the dazzling, terrifying golden pillar that soared into the sky within Hundred Refinements City. The golden pillar was even more conspicuous than the previous silver flame, but more importantly, it contained immense martial pressure and terrifying true meaning of fist techniques.

Although the two were far from the center of the golden pillar of light, they were still faintly intimidated by the emanating aura of fist intent.

"The gap between Celestial Realm experts is so huge. We are both Celestial Realm experts, but I have never seen you so powerful before."

Lin Xun'er's dark eyes reflected the towering golden pillar in the distance, her small face filled with shock, and she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The old man in hemp clothing glanced at his granddaughter out of the corner of his eye, sighed, and said:
"I told you long ago that even a small realm between the Celestial and the Human realms is like an insurmountable chasm. If I had Zheng Yunfeng's martial arts cultivation, I would have stormed up Hundred Refinement Peak long ago. Why would I need to hide here?"

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he said:
"Zheng Yunfeng clearly went all out in his attack. Faced with such a terrifying killing move, I wonder how Young Master Li will deal with it? And whether he can withstand those punches?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun'er frowned, pondering:
"Even if the martial arts strength of the Grand Elder of Hundred Refinements Peak is no match for Zheng Yunfeng, he should have no problem escaping from him, right?"

The old man in hemp robes slowly shook his head, his gaze fixed on Hundred Refinements City, and said:

"It's hard to say, but Young Master Li should be showing himself and making a move by now!"

……

A group of carriages traveling from the main peak of Luoshen Peak to Bailian Peak traveled quickly along the mountain road.

The person sitting in the carriage was the eldest disciple of the Luoshen Peak Sect Leader, the handpicked successor to the position of Luoshen Peak Sect Master. Accompanying him were three martial arts masters of the peak's elder level.

When the towering golden pillar in Hundred Refinements City lit up from the sky, all the horses and carriages on the mountain road were instantly stopped by an invisible force of true energy.

Then, the three elders of Luoshen Peak looked up at the sky, and the curtain of the carriage was rolled up, revealing a young man dressed in a moon-white robe.

The young man was not particularly handsome, but he was extremely young, around twenty years old. He held a black wooden folding fan with silver edges and was also looking in the direction of the elders' gaze.

"Reporting to the young sect master, it seems that it was Peak Master Zheng who made the move."

A slightly plump elder turned around and cupped his hands in greeting, while the young man's expression remained extremely calm as he softly said:
"For him to go all out, the opponent's martial arts strength must be considerable."

"However, the appearance of such a master in Hundred Refinements City is probably suspicious. The other party is most likely a member of the Great Li Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, the three elders around him all frowned. According to the information they knew, Commander Fu Qiwen clearly planned to attack Luoshen Peak from four directions.

Unexpectedly, they secretly sent experts to attack Hundred Refinement Peak. These imperial henchmen are truly treacherous and unpredictable.

"It's alright, Zheng Feng will definitely be able to capture this person. It's just a waste of the life of a top expert of the imperial court."

An elder from Luoshen Peak, his eyes flashing with coldness, looked up at the golden pillar in the sky and spoke.

The eldest disciple of the Fallen God Peak Sect remained silent, gazing quietly at the horizon in the darkness, as if observing what would happen next.

……

At the same time, the golden pillar that soared into the sky in Hundred Refinements City was naturally seen by all parties in the vicinity of Fallen God Peak.

The Tianjin Guards, who were secretly making their way towards Yuxing Peak, all saw this scene clearly in the darkness. They all stopped in surprise and looked up in astonishment.

Although the distance was too great for the group to perceive the true essence of Zheng Yuanfeng's fist technique, the dazzling golden light condensed from the terrifying true energy of heaven and earth created such a shocking scene that it filled them with awe.

"Don't stop, keep going!"

Orders came from behind, and the Imperial Guards dared not linger. They simply kept looking at the sky and continued on their way.

"Zheng Yunfeng has made his move."

Among the Tianjin Guards, Fu Qiwen, sitting on his horse, had a solemn expression. If Hu Ruian's words were correct, then the Eighth Prince had probably already confronted the other party.

Hu Ruian, who was standing nearby, naturally saw this scene as well and quickly spoke up:
"My lord, you can see for yourself. I think His Highness's skill in boxing is probably no less than that of Zheng Yunfeng."

Upon hearing this, Fu Qiwen glanced at the other person, frowned slightly, and then focused his gaze intently on the horizon.

He wanted to see for himself just how powerful that Eighth Prince really was.

At the same time, the big black cat that was leading Lin Tang and the other three on their way suddenly stopped after seeing the golden pillar rising in the direction of Hundred Refinement City.

Seeing this, Lin Tang and his three companions, who had been rushing along with their heads covered, also hurriedly stopped.

Then, everyone followed the black cat's gaze, but the next moment, their expressions all changed.

"Such terrifying true energy of heaven and earth, could it be the peak master of Fallen God Peak who made the move?"

Old man Wu Yong frowned, his gaze shifting uncertainly. Just then, the big black cat in front of him meowed a few times, then simply squatted down and refused to move.

Seeing this, the scholar Sui Zhen looked surprised and suspicious, then turned to Lin Tang and Lin Yueru and asked:

What's wrong with it?

Upon hearing this, Lin Tang's eyes flickered. She glanced at the black cat and shook her head, saying:
"My sister said it's too late, we've missed the show!"

……

Bai Xiang Ge (Hundred Fragrances Pavilion)

Li Musheng sat on the roof ridge, watching the fist intent and the true energy of heaven and earth pouring down on him like a bursting dam.

But he simply shook his head slowly and said:
"No, it's too weak."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire world around the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion fell silent.

The soaring golden energy solidified, and the vast and boundless true energy of heaven and earth that was constantly gathering instantly turned into a stagnant pool.

Zheng Yunfeng's fists stopped in mid-air, the terrifying fist intent as heavy as towering mountains.

However, no matter what he did, he was unable to press his fists, which were imbued with the true essence of his fist fighting, down towards the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion below.

Zheng Yunfeng's pupils slowly widened, and in his gaze, the young man who had been sitting on the roof ridge was now gently raising his finger and pointing it at his forehead.

In an instant, images flashed through his mind of the bloody holes piercing the heads of his wife and two sons.

He tried desperately to open his mouth, but before his lips could even open, his life force vanished in an instant.

The overwhelming fist intent and true energy collapsed instantly, and the soaring golden pillar of light crumbled in an instant, scattering into a golden wind that swept outwards from above Hundred Refinement City.

In an instant, the sky above Hundred Refinement City was suddenly brightened, and then returned to darkness and silence.
