I am a high-level martial arts master.

On the lake, Ye Li ran hurriedly.

Its figure transformed into a blur that tore through the night, accompanied by a milky-white cone-shaped sonic boom cloud, slicing through the vast lake surface and creating a raging wall of water tens of feet high.

"This won't do..."

Ye Li frowned as he looked at the raging torrents around him, which looked like ordinary people would either die or be seriously injured if they were caught in them.

He felt that his style was not quite similar to that of other martial artists of the same realm.

Normally, walking on water in the early stages of life has never been this impressive.

The reason is very simple: when one first enters the Acquired Realm, only internal energy is generated within the body; the physical body remains unchanged.

The essence of the Acquired Realm is a job change permit!

Afterwards, whether one switches to a melee mage specializing in pure internal energy or a brute who achieves physical immortality, the changes depend on the different cultivation methods practiced. Before changing professions, these acquired abilities, such as walking on water at high speed, all rely on internal energy for propulsion.

As for Ye Li... brute force is greater than internal strength!

Because he cultivated the Ten Revolutions Heavy Yuan Technique before his breakthrough, Ye Li's physical body was far stronger than that of ordinary martial artists. Even among those in the Acquired Realm, he would be considered a top athlete!

His slightest bit of internal energy was more than enough to enhance an ordinary person's strength twentyfold, but when used on himself, it only had a 50% effect.

Previously, internal energy was used to enhance Tyson, but when applied to Ye Li, it's like enhancing Taro.

Ye Li: "Even without internal energy, I can ride the waves and achieve supersonic speeds with my physical body (I envy supersonic speeds)."

Therefore, at this moment, Ye Li began to study the changes in the form of internal energy while traveling.

After all, which martial artist would travel with a trail of deep-sea bombs?

By focusing his mind on his body, Ye Li gradually slowed down the output of his power, shifting from a burst of energy to a sustained output of internal force, while sharpening the front to reduce wind resistance.

As the mode of travel changed, although the wind was still howling around, it was no longer so terrifying.

"It's useful. Next, we'll gradually control the precision of our internal energy to eliminate the destructive effects on the environment."

Just as Ye Li was deeply immersed in his cultivation, at this moment, in Guangming...

Inside a hidden room at the headquarters of the West City Poison Wolf Gang, there was a pool of blood.

Duhe was soaking naked in the water, feeling the surging vitality within his body, and the bloody wound on his chest healed in an instant.

Just as he was absorbing the blood essence, the door to the dark room suddenly opened.

A burly man, about ten feet tall, walked in and said, "Captain, we still haven't found the woman's whereabouts."

Upon hearing the big man's words, Duhe's eyes snapped open, filled with intense killing intent: "You killed four of my teammates, damn it... Pfft!" Before he could finish speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.

Touching his undamaged chest, Duhe could feel a lingering sword aura, like a persistent ailment, lingering an inch from his heart. Even though the surface wounds had healed, this sword aura was not so easily dispelled.

Thinking about this, Duhe felt a chill run down his spine.

Who would have thought that this so-called team battle would actually be eight of them against one?

The moment the madwoman landed, she went straight for them, slicing through their four teammates like vegetables.

If it weren't for the fact that we had prepared for this battle for more than a month, and that the entry was special, everyone would probably have been killed on the spot.

Upon seeing Duhe cough up blood, the burly man beside him asked with concern:

"Captain, you must take care of your health. I have already planted a demonic seed in that woman. She is now at her last gasp, clinging to life! As long as you recover quickly, we will definitely find her and tear her to pieces."

"I've already dispatched the Poison Wolf Gang to search for the Azure Dragon Gang's whereabouts; they won't be able to hide for long."

Duhe took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging blood and rage.

Feeling the blood pool's energy continuously surging into his body, only to be constantly eroded by that damned sword energy, a ruthless resolve flashed in his eyes: "We need time to recover, and we need more materials!"

"Go! Capture a few more martial artists at the Acquired Realm! The higher their cultivation, the better! I need their essence and vital energy to accelerate the transformation into blood corpses and fill the gaps in our combat power!"

"Those meager Body Tempering Realm cultivators alone can't withstand a single sword strike from that old woman!"

"Yes!" the giant replied in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, without the slightest hesitation.

He turned and strode out of the dark room, his heavy footsteps echoing through the stone corridor.

Outside the dark room, under the dim light, several people dressed in the uniforms of the Poison Wolf Gang, but with pale faces and sharp fangs faintly visible at the corners of their mouths, stood with their hands at their sides, exuding a faint aura of death and blood.

They are no longer considered living people, but blood corpses transformed by Duhe. Although their personalities and habits are no different from those of living people, they can only be considered corpses with memories of their previous lives.

After stepping out of the dark room, he looked at his subordinates and asked, "How's the capture of the Azure Dragon Gang's men going?"

One of the blood-soaked corpses bowed and said, "Reporting to my lord, we have captured more than half of the remaining members of the Azure Dragon Gang who are undergoing body tempering, but Elder Houtian comes and goes like the wind, and we are unable to catch him."

"Useless trash!" the giant growled impatiently, a flash of bloodlust in his eyes.

"Send more men! Activate all informants! Dig them out, even if it means digging three feet into the ground! Remember, don't kill a single one! They must be alive!" "Yes... sir..." the blue-faced subordinate replied, his fangs gleaming coldly in the dim light.

The giant ignored him and strode toward the stone steps leading to the ground.

On the other side, inside the Treasure Pavilion, the former prosperity is gone.

The once dazzling crystal display case is now shattered on the ground, and the carvings of dragons holding pearls on the sandalwood pillars are stained with glaring bloodstains.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, the acrid smell of burning sandalwood, and the strange medicinal fragrance mixed with the broken pills.

Jiang Xiyue was no longer agile, and her internal energy was almost depleted.

Her apricot-yellow dress was stained with dust and bloodstains, her hair was slightly disheveled, and her breathing was rapid. Like a frightened bird, she fled desperately through the ruins. Accompanying her were the former stewards and guards of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, all bearing injuries and their faces etched with fear. "Quick! This way! Go through this alley; perhaps we can reach the dock!"

A butler, his face covered in blood, spoke, his voice trembling with fear, for the enemy was truly ferocious.

Jiang Xiyue gritted her teeth and observed the surrounding situation.

The entire Guangming area was surrounded by a transparent array, preventing messages from being transmitted and hindering the family's ability to provide support.

Moreover, the Poison Wolf Gang's method of transforming blood corpses is truly bizarre. Even those at the Acquired Realm will be transformed into obedient blood corpses once captured. Furthermore, once injured, their consciousness will be eroded by the blood poison.

Under the overwhelming force of the human wave tactics, even the late-stage Acquired Realm Elder Qian was brutally killed in the siege of multiple Acquired Blood Corpses.

At this moment, Jiang Xiyue could only flee with the guards of Baibaoge.

Moreover, despite being called a bodyguard, with her only at the early stage of the Acquired Realm mixed in with this group of Body Tempering cultivators, it's hard to say who would protect whom.

Following the group from Baibaoge through a small alley, before they even reached the alley entrance, a giant man's figure crashed down in front of them.

"Run? Why have you stopped running?"
