destiny eternal calamity

Li Wei strode forward.

Old Man Zuo was leaning against the doorpost of an inn, occasionally tilting his head back to take a sip of wine.

At first glance, he just seemed a little unkempt, but little did anyone know that he had already fallen into the demonic path.

Seemingly sensing that Li Wei's visit was ill-intentioned, Old Zuo suddenly turned his head around.

A pair of bloodshot eyes stared intently at Li Wei.

Li Wei urged the Five-Step Plum Blossom Stakes and quickly charged forward.

Old Zuo's demeanor was completely different from the poor, pedantic scholar he had met before; he now appeared quite insane.

He threw down the wine jug, assumed a fighting stance, and threw a punch at Li Wei.

The air exploded with a loud bang.

After undergoing acupuncture and body training, Li Wei's physical strength had far surpassed that of ordinary martial artists, so he was naturally not afraid of him and used the Mountain-Shattering Thunder Hand to meet him head-on.

There were no fancy tricks, just a simple clash of forces.

Li Wei was, after all, a martial artist at the Qi Sea Realm. Although he had not yet opened his dantian or compressed his true qi, he had only managed to reach the mid-stage by relying on a perfect internal skill. His strength was still several times greater than when he was at the Meridian Opening Realm.

Judging solely by his punching power, Li Wei should now be weighing over 200,000 jin (approximately 100,000 kg).

The limit for most martial artists who have opened their meridians is less than 30,000 jin.

As the ground beneath Li Wei's feet cracked under the powerful reaction force, Old Master Zuo opposite him was undoubtedly sent flying by a punch, and flew a great distance.

However, Li Wei could sense that the opponent's strength was no less than his own when he was at the peak of his meridian opening, with a punch force of about 50,000 jin.

You should know that he had undergone Aunt Ying's medicinal bath and acupuncture, which boosted his power with the second-level Mountain-Shattering Thunder Hand technique at its peak, and he also received a system-based aptitude bonus.

It's strange that Master Zuo, whose vital energy and blood have long since declined, still possesses such strong physical strength.

Ignoring the gasps of the passersby, he quickly chased after the direction in which Old Zuo had been sent flying.

Sure enough, he saw Old Zuo stagger to his feet from the smoke and dust.

The vitality of this demonized person is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Seemingly realizing he was outmatched, the demonized Elder Zuo did not engage in battle again, but instead turned and fled.

[To learn the third-tier skill "Eight Steps of Gazing at the Sunset" to perfection, 6400 recharge points are required. Do you wish to learn it?]

"yes!"

[Ding! 5120 recharge points (20% discount) have been deducted, and the third-tier skill "Eight Steps of Gazing at the Sunset" has been mastered!]

Although Li Wei could still catch up with Master Zuo at his speed, to avoid any unforeseen complications, he decided to use the Wangxia Eight Steps technique, which was better suited for traveling.

Compared to the Five-Step Plum Blossom Stakes, which emphasizes dodging and finding position in close combat, this movement technique focuses more on absolute speed.

Moreover, the special effect of this technique at its perfect level is a 50% speed boost.

This made him more than twice as fast as the demonized Old Master Zuo.

After catching up with Elder Zuo, he once again used the Mountain-Shattering Thunder Hand to slam him to the ground, then leaned in and used the Pulse-Seizing Hand to seal his meridians.

This demonized body seems difficult to kill, and he also wants to see what exactly a "demon" is.

Therefore, uniforms are the best choice.

Carrying the demonized Old Man Zuo, Li Wei returned to Shang Xueyan's side.

"It is indeed a demon. I never thought that someone in the popular capital would be corrupted by a demon."

Soon after, the Five Cities Garrison arrived.

Li Wei also planned to give a proper explanation to avoid being branded as someone who punched the Nanshan Nursing Home.

After all, in his mind, demons were a very rare thing.

But to my surprise, the other party was very familiar with the process.

"This old man is possessed by a demon, right? Come with us and give a statement."

Li Wei and Shang Xueyan exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat puzzled.

However, he still obediently carried Old Man Zuo and followed the constables to the yamen.

Upon entering the yamen, the police officers told them to wait.

Not long after, Li Wei saw a spirited young woman walk in.

The girl had jet-black hair tied in a single bun and wore a dark robe.

Judging from his back, he might be mistaken for a young swordsman.

"My name is Zhao Yuqing. Thank you, young master, for subduing the demon."

After saying that, she grabbed the demonized Elder Zuo, who had been subdued by Li Wei using his pulse-grabbing technique, with her left hand, and took out a blood-red jade pendant with her right hand.

As soon as the jade pendant approached Elder Zuo, it emitted a bright red light, and then a wisp of evil and cold aura was slowly absorbed from Elder Zuo into the jade pendant.

Li Wei could even hear faint curses coming from that aura.

what is this?

A sealing device? Did you just wander out of a tokusatsu theater...?

"Is this young lady Her Highness the Heavenly Maiden in person?"

Compared to the bewildered Li Wei, Shang Xueyan was clearly much more knowledgeable.

The leader of the Kongsang Sect directly asked a title that Li Wei had never heard before.

Celestial Maiden.

"Yes, I am the Heavenly Maiden of this generation," Zhao Yuqing admitted directly.

There was nothing for her to hide, after all, her adoptive mother told her that with this identity, she would be a respected figure throughout the world.

Shang Xueyan, however, was somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, shouldn't every generation of celestial maidens be great cultivators at the Eternal Tribulation Realm?

This Zhao Yuqing, how come she only seems to be at the Qi Sea Realm?

But no one else could possibly imitate this method of exorcising demons...

A short while later, Old Man Zuo woke up.

He seemed to remember what had just happened, and a hint of apology appeared on his face.

Fortunately, Li Wei stopped him, otherwise he might have caused a huge disaster.

"Old man, how did you become possessed by a demon?" Zhao Yuqing asked.

"I...I met my nephew, who, like his parents, embarked on the path of martial arts."

"I told him that his parents were killed by the Kunlun Sect, but he told me not to speak ill of his sect."

"Sigh, Kunlun is a den of hypocrites. How could I stand by and argue with him when he recognized a thief as his father?"

"In the end, he severed all ties with me. I had finally found my last relative in this world, and he left me just like that. Overwhelmed with grief, I felt a surge of resentment in my heart..."

"What's your nephew's name?" Zhao Yuqing continued to ask patiently.

"Zuo Fenghan. He's a very good boy. If you meet him, you must persuade him to leave the Kunlun Sect. Those people are truly hateful. And knowing he's Zuo Qiuxian's son, how could they possibly treat him kindly..."

Old Zuo kept talking on and on.

"Zuoqiu Xian! I never imagined you were his elder brother."

Shang Xueyan suddenly said.

"I knew my younger brother was a household name. He was incredibly famous back then, but as the saying goes, 'When you're in the world of gangsters, you're bound to get hurt eventually.'"

"Martial arts practitioners treat the law like a joke. His death was very suspicious, but that was Kunlun. Even the imperial court could not uphold justice for him."

"I hate it, I hate that my martial arts skills are like an ant in Kunlun's eyes."

"I hate that I have devoted myself to the imperial examination for thirty years and still failed."

"I'm neither good at academics nor martial arts, how can I avenge him...?"

Finally, Old Zuo was taken away by Zhao Yuqing and placed under observation.

Li Wei received a reward of ten taels of silver for his act of bravery and then took Shang Xueyan back to his residence.
