The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 274 is gone? Such a powerful Blood Condensation Realm cultivator is gone?

The Tower of Cultivation, third level, cultivation room.

"Is your current superhuman state really that strong?"

After a brief clash, Bert was somewhat surprised by Lin Qi's strength, while Lin Qi was also somewhat incredulous that he, in his extraordinary state, could actually overpower a Blood Condensation Realm expert like Bert.

Bert was clearly no ordinary early-stage Blood Condensation Realm expert, not to mention that he used extraordinary martial arts techniques right away. His strength was definitely no less than that of Diroya, the city lord of the City of Light.

He thought he would be at a disadvantage if he used Stardust Reversal, but unexpectedly he gained a slight advantage.

After repelling Bert's attack, Lin Qi couldn't help but bring up his data panel.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

I never expected that after my second training method reached the Bone Forging Realm, my extraordinary physical condition would also undergo a tremendous change.

Originally, a martial artist at the initial stage of the Bone Forging Realm in a transcendent state had a strength standard of fifteen tons, which was far superior to the standard of ordinary life forms, and now it is even more terrifying.

In his extraordinary state, his strength panel data has reached as much as 36 tons, more than doubling his basic strength. With the addition of the 3200 kg effect of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, his strength panel data has reached nearly 40 tons, which is close to the level of the initial stage of the Blood Coagulation Realm.

With the buffs from martial arts and body-strengthening techniques, his actual strength had reached 66 tons, and with the amplification of his immense strength, it had reached nearly 100 tons.

This level of power has clearly exceeded the limits of a mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm martial artist.

Just as Lin Qi was marveling at his current physical abilities, Bert on the other side showed no intention of stopping. He had been empty-handed, but somehow a dark blue battle blade appeared in his hand.

The moment the deep blue battle blade was drawn, the temperature in the entire training room dropped by tens of degrees, and a layer of frost enveloped it.

"A Tier 3 weapon?" Lin Qi looked at the deep blue battle blade in Bert's hand, which exuded a chilling aura, and his gaze became more serious.

According to the information he currently has, the highest-level weapon that a Bone Forging Realm warrior can access is a Tier 2 weapon. These weapons are either made of alloy or made from materials from Lord-level monsters, possessing the hardness and sharpness to injure high-level Lord-level monsters.

Above the second-tier weapons, there are third-tier weapons, which are only possessed by a few experts at the Blood Condensation Realm. In fact, most city lords do not even have a third-tier weapon. At most, they use top-quality second-tier weapons made from materials of high-level lord monsters, like City Lord Diroya.

The reason why Tier 3 weapons are so rare is that, in addition to the fact that the materials required for their production are the remains of calamity-level monsters, the production technology is only available in Domain Cities. Ordinary mechanics and blacksmiths, even if they have the materials, cannot produce them.

Even when the machines they made were given to mechanics and blacksmiths, they still couldn't replicate the work.

The main reason is that Tier 3 weapons not only possess terrifying hardness and sharpness, but also come with some abilities, or rather, retain a portion of the power of a calamity-level monster. This power can be unleashed through blood and qi, exerting a force far exceeding that of Tier 2 weapons.

The deep blue battle blade in Bert's hand was so striking that it caused the temperature of the surrounding space to drop drastically, a capability clearly possessed by a Tier 3 weapon.

“You do have some insight.” Bert looked at Lin Qi and couldn’t help but laugh. “Originally, I wanted to take you back, but I’ve changed my mind. I think it’s better to show your corpse to the people behind your Obsidian Martial Arts School. They should understand our Earth Star Pharmaceuticals’ attitude better.”

After exchanging blows with Lin Qi, the owner of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, he had already put aside his contempt for Lin Qi. On the contrary, he felt considerable pressure from Lin Qi.

It's unbelievable that someone who isn't even a high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist could overpower him after transforming.

You have to understand that he is a super genius of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. Among the younger generation in the entire Four Regions, he is an outstanding figure. Yet, even in the Blood Condensation Realm, he lost to Lin Qi in terms of strength. If this were to be told, probably no one would believe it.

If such strength were displayed in the Four Regions Youth Competition, he would definitely be a genius that only appears once every few decades, and he might even be able to reach that level in the future.

Since he had already provoked such a genius, he naturally had to eliminate him completely. Otherwise, once Lin Qi grew up, even Dixing Pharmaceutical would have a hard time protecting him.

As he spoke, Bert swung his sword.

The third-tier battle blade, Shattering Ice, has only one ability: it can enhance the power of cold energy, increasing the power of martial arts techniques that utilize cold energy by 30%.

The Cold Force martial arts are Bert's signature skills, especially the Ice Dragon Break, a sequence-level martial arts skill that Bert learned, which can maximize the power of the Ice Dragon Break.

Bert unleashed a single slash, and a gigantic, illusory ice crystal dragon, filling the entire training room, appeared before Lin Qi. It flapped its wings and roared at Lin Qi, lunging directly at him without giving him any chance. It went all out from the start, intending to finish the battle quickly.

Faced with this sudden strike, Lin Qi also felt the threat of death and almost instinctively used the only extraordinary martial skill he had mastered: Divine Might.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire training room converged around Lin Qi.

This scene, though seemingly slow, actually happened in an instant. Lin Qi emptied the atmosphere and energy in the entire training room, concentrating it all at the tip of the club, which shone like a star before spreading out in all directions.

boom!
The terrifying shockwave collided with the phantom of the dragon, which easily pierced through the rapidly expanding atmosphere, swimming towards the center of the expansion as if a dragon had leaped into the water.

However, as the dragon gets closer to the center, its upward thrust becomes stronger and stronger.

When the phantom of the giant dragon was less than a meter away from Lin Qi, it passed right through Lin Qi's head and blasted through the solid wall of the cultivation tower, leaving a hole with a radius of more than five or six meters.

"It deflected? How is that possible?" Bert stared in disbelief at Lin Qi, who was completely unharmed.

In order to kill Lin Qi quickly and decisively, he held nothing back.

This strike even made him feel like he had unleashed the pinnacle of his life. He was confident that he could defeat even mid-level Blood Condensation Realm experts who used the same extraordinary martial arts technique.

However, his attack was deflected by Lin Qi's extraordinary martial arts technique, grazing past Lin Qi's head. This control over power was simply unbelievable.

You must know that his strike, which looks like a single strike, is actually a giant dragon formed from cold energy, unleashing countless attacks, like a rain of blows. Such attacks are impossible to deflect, let alone defend against.

But for some unknown reason, Lin Qi saw through all these attacks and deflected them all. From the outside, it looked like a giant dragon phantom flying over Lin Qi's head, but in reality, it was more difficult than using force to pass through dozens of needle holes from a hundred meters away.

While Bert was briefly surprised, Lin Qi took a step forward and used the ability of the Perfected Amazing Step. Within a hundred meters, he appeared in front of Bert as if he had teleported and smashed down with his staff.

This strike did not use the Reverse Star Hand technique; it was simply a strike using the Lightning Palm. However, unlike other ordinary strikes, the Lightning Palm did not require any charging; it was as swift as lightning, just like a normal attack.

This strike was also the limit that Lin Qi could control in his superhuman state.

Although Bert reacted quickly, almost immediately using his Tier 3 battle blade to shatter the ice, Lin Qi's strike was amplified by the power of the Thunder Palm, delivering a force of nearly 300 tons. Even though Bert's strike could naturally incorporate the power of ordinary martial arts techniques, the force of over 100 tons and the force of nearly 300 tons were not even in the same league.

The moment they touched, Bert's hand couldn't even hold onto the ice shards. The ice shards were sent flying, and the terrifying force even numbed Bert's arm. If it weren't for the fact that his blood energy from the Blood Coagulation Realm filled his entire body, making his body as hard as iron, his arm would have been turned into minced meat.

Following his initial strike, Lin Qi pressed his advantage, delivering another blow and giving Bert no time to breathe, or rather, he dared not give him any. Bert was originally a Blood Condensation Realm expert who had mastered a Sequence Transcendent-level martial skill, and was stronger than him in terms of explosive power. If it weren't for Lin Qi's mental domain expanding to fifteen meters, and his difficult use of divine might to deflect the attack, that blow would have taken half of Lin Qi's life.

Now that we've finally found an opening in Bert's defenses, we're going to take Bert's life.

boom!
With just one blow, Bert's arm, which he had been using to defend himself with his Tier 2 armor, bent out of shape, causing Bert to let out a cold snort.

Seeing Lin Qi strike again, Bert was also greatly surprised.

"I am a representative of Earthstar Pharmaceuticals! You dare to kill me! Earthstar Pharmaceuticals will never let you get away with this!" Bert shouted as he saw another blow coming.

Lin Qi's strength was far beyond his imagination. He was injured and no longer had the strength to fight Lin Qi. If he wanted to survive, he could only rely on the prestige of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals.

As the representative of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals this time, and a super genius in the Blood Coagulation Realm, his death is incomparable to that of Fire Serpent and Shadow Fang. If Lin Qi knew even a little about Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, he would never take his life. After all, even Mist Mountain Domain City wouldn't dare to do such a thing openly.

Because doing so would truly be declaring war on Earth Star Pharmaceuticals.

"You only beg for mercy when you can't win? Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Lin Qi, with a disdainful expression, did not stop hitting Bert's other arm despite Bert's threat, and continued to strike him without hesitation.

The blows continued relentlessly, smashing Bert's Tier 2 armor to pieces until Bert himself was reduced to a mangled mess, before the attack finally ceased.

As Bert was being brutally beaten to death, Qin Mu and the others outside the training room rushed in due to the commotion inside.

"This……"

Ino stared dumbfounded at the training room, which was in complete disarray, and the pile of minced meat on the floor.

Judging from the clothes of the man in the shredded meat, it is undoubtedly Bert from Earthstar Pharmaceuticals.

"Master?"

Qin Mu was stunned when he saw the corpse on the ground.

Completely baffled, what had happened in the short time after Bert entered the room that a Blood Condensation Realm expert had died at the feet of the Guild Master, Lin Qi?

"Lord Bert?"

The dozen or so members of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals present couldn't believe their eyes when they saw Bert, who was clearly dead.

Bert brought them here, and they knew very well that Bert was going to hold the Obsidian Martial Arts School accountable. They were just there to watch the show. After all, Bert was a super genius who had advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm. He had the confidence to face any force in the entire Mist Mountain region except for Domain City, let alone deal with an Obsidian Martial Arts School that he had never even heard of.

But now Bert is dead, what the heck?

However, after a brief moment of surprise, the dozen or so members of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals present also came to their senses.

"run!"

Without much hesitation, the dozen or so geniuses from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals ran towards the door, not daring to stay there for even a second longer.

Bert, as the representative of Earthstar Pharmaceuticals in the Fog Mountain area, is not just some nobody, but a true representative of Earthstar Pharmaceuticals.

Regardless of Lin Qi's reasons, killing Bert at this moment is tantamount to declaring war on Earth Star Pharmaceuticals.

If Lin Qi didn't want things to be exposed, he would undoubtedly kill people to keep quiet and conceal the fact that Bert had been killed as much as possible.

The moment the dozen or so geniuses from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals turned and fled, Qin Mu and Yinuo hadn't even recovered their senses, but Lin Qi, who had activated his extraordinary state, had already appeared in front of these Earth Star Pharmaceuticals geniuses, grabbing and twisting the air.

In an instant, the dozen or so mid-stage Bone Forging Realm geniuses who were trying to escape were as if they were being grabbed by invisible hands, all crushed to death by Lin Qi's terrifying strength, without any power to resist.

As more than ten members of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals died on the spot, Qin Mu and Yinuo finally came to their senses and looked at Lin Qi with horror.

They didn't know the reason for Bert's death.

But now that Lin Qi has single-handedly killed more than ten people from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, they would be fools if they still didn't know what had happened.

"Master Lin, are you going to fight Earth Star Pharmaceuticals to the death?" Ino looked at Lin Qi, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Although she didn't know exactly how strong Earth Star Pharmaceuticals was, she understood from the attitudes of the city lord and the domain city that Earth Star Pharmaceuticals was definitely a behemoth, and even the domain city would probably have to give it some face.

Previously, over a hundred experts at the Bone Forging Realm of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals were wiped out. Although this was Earth Star Pharmaceuticals' problem, it was enough to enrage them.

Now that Lin Qi has killed Bert and others, especially since Bert was a Blood Condensation Realm expert, he is an extremely important combat force for Domain City. It would be strange if Earth Star Pharmaceuticals could tolerate this.

As for trying to conceal the news, that's simply impossible.

As a Blood Condensation Realm expert from outside the domain, Bert's every move was monitored by the Domain City. Even though he came to Crimson Moon Town without any experts from the Domain City accompanying him, there were still Domain City surveillance personnel in secret. Moreover, Bert and his group came in such a high-profile manner that it was impossible to hide their deaths.

Qin Mu, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement, thinking that Lin Qi's behavior was simply too crazy.

The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is indeed powerful, capable of defeating even the army of Star Tower City, but Earth Star Pharmaceuticals is far superior to Star Tower City.

It's fair to say that Earth Star Pharmaceuticals could easily destroy the current Obsidian Martial Arts School by simply sending a few experts at the Blood Coagulation Realm.

"From the moment they dared to snatch people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, we've been locked in a life-or-death struggle." Lin Qi said dismissively, "If they dare to attack again, I don't mind making them bleed even more."

After saying that, Lin Qi walked to the broken ice of Bert's third-tier battle sword, put it away, and acted as if killing Bert and the others was just a trivial matter.

Perhaps Earth Star Pharmaceuticals is powerful, but with more and more players starting to attempt to reach the Bone Forging Realm, he is not afraid of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. After all, it takes time for news to spread. Earth Star Pharmaceuticals' headquarters is in the Tianhe region, and even if they can send people over, the number will be limited. By the time they enter the Fog Mountain Prison, it will be uncertain who will be stronger.

While Lin Qi was having Qin Mu repair the cultivation tower and quietly waiting for the opening of the Mist Mountain Prison, Precia, who had been resting in the City of Light, also received a message from her subordinates.

"What did you say? Bert and the others have been in Red Moon Town for more than two days and haven't come out yet?"
