Becoming a Saint Starts with Copying Martial Arts

Chapter 152 Yuan Gang Condensing Armor

With a clang, Lin Qing sheathed his sword, and the entire arena fell silent as countless eyes focused on Ma Meng's severed head.

This assassin who walked in the shadows, the First Protector who instilled fear in countless powerful figures in the city, was actually killed with a single blow today.

Lin Qing turned around and went to Ma Meng's corpse. A ball of flame rose from his palm, and he pressed it on the body. The flame spread rapidly and instantly engulfed the corpse, burning it to ashes. A remnant soul was then added to the Record of Rebirth.

"Lin Qing, what skill! I never expected you to have such strong lightness skills. I think you must be in the top three in the city when it comes to lightness skills alone." Qiu Changming used his lightness skills to land next to Lin Qing and couldn't help but sigh.

Lü Qidao also came closer, his eyes full of respect.

"Lord Lin is truly remarkable; I admire him greatly!"

His gaze swept across the scene, landing on the ashes of Ma Meng's corpse. He couldn't help but sigh, "Ma Meng's ability to run rampant in the prefectural city was primarily due to his exceptional lightness skills. Even if someone could defeat him, they often couldn't catch him and could only let him escape. But as the saying goes, 'He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet.' When he encountered Lord Lin, he couldn't defeat him, nor could he escape. His only fate was death. That's what you call retribution!"

Lin Qing raised his eyes slightly, gazing into the distance. His senses were sharp, and he could hear the sounds of fierce fighting coming from the center of the town.

"Patriarch Lü, your injuries are quite severe. There's no need to go any further. Stay here and control this area. Don't let any Yin Yuan Sect warriors who try to escape get away. Deacon Qiu, let's go to the town center. A major battle is taking place there," Lin Qing said softly.

"good!"

Both Lü Qidao and the other nodded. After witnessing Lin Qing's terrifying strength, they both implicitly regarded Lin Qing as their leader.

So the group split up, with Lin Qing and Qiu Changming using their lightness skills to rush towards the town center at top speed.

Meanwhile, Lü Qidao and the other martial artists stayed behind to guard the area, blocking many roads leading from there to the outside of the town.

.. *

At this moment, in the very center of the town, two masters are engaged in a fierce battle.

When Lin Qing arrived nearby, he saw that almost all the houses in front of him had collapsed into ruins, and two figures were facing each other. Everyone else had scattered and dared not approach the center of the battlefield.

On the left, a person was covered in a blood-red suit of armor. Upon closer inspection, the armor was shimmering with light and liquid, indicating that it was not a physical object.

The person on the right is wearing a light green armor, which is also constructed from "water" and is not a physical object.

"This is a unique technique of Yuan Gang Realm martial artists—Yuan Gang Armor! Tsk tsk, this battle is going to be interesting. I've lived to be this old and have never seen a Yuan Gang Realm martial artist duel more than a few times." Qiu Changming looked at Lin Qing and commented with great interest.

Lin Qing nodded slightly. He had also read and heard many rumors about Yuan Gang warriors. When true qi further transforms and solidifies, it becomes Yuan Gang, which can form armor covering the entire body, greatly enhancing a warrior's combat power and survival ability.

This was also the first time Lin Qing had ever seen a battle between Yuan Gang martial artists.

"You old scoundrel Sima, you're surrounded. This time you can't escape. I won't make things difficult for you. Just commit suicide in front of me, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse!" Yang Chenglu shouted, wielding a heavy hammer.

"Yang Chenglu, being too confident is not a good thing. If I were afraid, I would have left long ago. Why would I wait until now? Guess why I haven't left?" Sima Yi laughed heartily, without the slightest fear in his heart.

"It seems someone will come to rescue you? It's either someone from the Bai'er Cult or someone possessed by the Soul-Devouring Demon," Yang Chenglu said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, Yang Chenglu, you're a smart man. Let me tell you the truth, the Devouring Spirit Demon is on his way. Once he arrives, you will all die!" Sima Yi said loudly.

"You're quite confident, but the Devouring Spirit Demon isn't invincible either. If he dares to come, I'll kill him with a single blow!" Yang Chenglu exuded an invincible aura as he spoke.

Just then, a figure rushed over from a distance and landed beside Yang Chenglu. This person was also wearing Yuan Gang armor, which was reddish-copper in color. He was Jin Yulong, the head of the Jin family.

"General Yang, I've arrived. Let's make our move and wipe him out as quickly as possible, then deal with the Devouring Spirit Demon!"

"good!"

Yang Chenglu was waiting for Jin Yulong. He had just tried fighting one-on-one, and the two were evenly matched, neither able to defeat the other. But with Jin Yulong's help, everything was different.

In an instant, the three engaged in a chaotic battle: Yang Chenglu wielded a hammer, Jin Yulong a sword, and Sima Yi a pair of double swords.

Each collision between the three was incredibly powerful, the aftershocks sweeping across the area, turning everything around them, from broken stones to wood, into dust.

"It's beyond human power!" Qiu Changming exclaimed upon seeing this scene.

Lin Qing nodded slightly. He had previously considered trying to defeat a Yuan Gang martial artist one-on-one, but now it seemed impossible. The Yuan Gang martial artist was indeed extremely powerful. Just from the commotion of the fight, one could feel the astonishing destructive power contained in each punch and kick.

The surrounding boulders would be shattered into powder by the force of the three men's fists and feet.

"The destructive power of Yuan Gang Qi is several times that of Zhen Qi. Ordinary copper and iron weapons cannot withstand it and will be directly shattered. Only divine weapons forged from Xuan Tie can withstand it."

At this moment, Wang Ling also came closer and threw a head on the ground.

Lin Qing glanced around and saw that it was Deng Qianyu's head.

"That bitch is dead too? Good, great! This time we've finally wiped out the Yin Yuan Sect in one fell swoop. Now only that old thief Sima Yi is still putting up a stubborn resistance."

"Is Ma Meng dead?" Wang Ling asked.

"He's dead! Lin Qing is incredibly brave and invincible; Ma Meng's head has been ripped off!" Qiu Changming laughed.

"Not bad." A strange light flashed in Wang Ling's eyes, but he didn't say anything more. He was naturally taciturn and sparing with his words.

Meanwhile, the fighting ahead intensified as they continued their conversation.

Sima Yi was ultimately alone, and under the combined attack of the two, he was completely at a disadvantage and forced to retreat continuously.

A hint of anxiety finally flashed in his eyes.

"Why haven't we arrived yet?"

After the town was attacked, he immediately offered a sacrifice and pleaded with the Devouring Spirit Demon for help. The Devouring Spirit Demon replied immediately that he would come right away.

He knew that the Devouring Spirit Demon was in the city, not too far from Yuanshan Town. If he used his lightness skill to its fullest extent, he could arrive in just a quarter of an hour.

Therefore, he did not leave immediately, intending to wait for the arrival of the Devouring Spirit Demon to kill Yang Chenglu and the others.

However, let alone a quarter of an hour, almost two quarters of an hour have passed, and the Devouring Spirit Demon still hasn't arrived.

"We can't wait any longer; if this continues, I won't be able to hold on!"

Sima Yi let out a loud shout, his body suddenly swelled up, and he used the Blood Ox Worship Forbidden Technique, which greatly increased his combat power. He slashed out with his sword, forcing back Yang Chenglu and the other man, and then turned around and ran towards the edge of the town at high speed.

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

Sima Yi roared and raised his hand to unleash wave after wave of Yuan Gang Qi, shattering everything in his path, from houses and trees to martial artists.

The rest of the people dared not stop them and made way for them, while Jin Yulong and Yang Chenglu immediately chased after them. The three of them used their lightness skills to run at top speed out of the town.

After a moment's thought, Lin Qing also used his lightness skill to chase after him, wanting to try and seize the opportunity to kill Sima Yi.

Although the chances were slim, he had nothing else to do if he stayed here.

"If I can kill Sima Yi, I might be able to obtain a profound martial arts technique," Lin Qing thought to himself.

Seeing Lin Qing's actions, Wang Ling reminded him, "Lin Qing, don't be reckless. You can't participate in battles between Yuan Gang martial artists."

"I know what I'm doing!" Lin Qing's voice drifted from afar, but he had already gone.

"Don't worry, Lin Qing's lightness skill is the best in the city. Even Sima Yi, Chief Envoy Yang and others are not as good as him," Qiu Changming said with a smile.
