Complete one practice method every day

Guo Xun dared not just stand by and watch; he moved swiftly and swung his short halberd at Chen Yue.

Gu Yiqiu's powerful Vajra Palm attack had already exhausted Chen Yue, and now the short halberd on his left side slammed down with great force, almost sealing off all his room to dodge.

Chen Yue's Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield activated wildly, condensing a layer of protective energy to block the short halberd.

"clang!"

Guo Xun's short halberd slammed heavily onto Chen Yue's left shoulder, producing a crisp, metallic clang. The halberd bounced high into the air from the impact, and Guo Xun's hand went numb, his eyes wide with horror.

"罡气?"

"He can actually activate his protective aura?"

This scene caused Gu Yiqiu and his companion, who had been launching a relentless offensive, to pause slightly, their faces instantly filled with disbelief.

As martial artists, how could they not know what protective qi means?

That is a protective technique that can only be activated after one has cultivated the most advanced body-refining divine art and reached a certain high level.

Getting started is difficult, but mastering it is even more difficult!

Every body-refining technique that can cultivate internal energy is a closely guarded secret, and even in a powerful force like Youquan Prefecture, there are very few qualified practitioners.

This young man, who was only at the Bone Forging Realm, not only moved with incredible speed, but had also cultivated a body-refining divine skill to the point where he could activate protective qi.

How could such a monstrous martial arts prodigy be hidden in this tiny place, Youlin County?

Or is there some other extraordinary opportunity?

The surprise and doubt in Gu Yiqiu's eyes were instantly replaced by an even stronger killing intent. This boy has many secrets and must not be allowed to live, but he must not be killed easily either. He must be captured first and tortured to find out everything!

"His inner strength isn't invincible! He's only at the Bone Forging Realm; his internal energy is limited. Let's see how long he can last!"

Gu Yiqiu roared. He absolutely refused to believe that the Qi unleashed by a Bone Forging Realm martial artist could withstand the full force of his Marrow Refining Realm attack. This kid probably knew this himself, otherwise he would have already used his Qi to block his attack.

As he spoke, Gu Yiqiu's attacks did not stop. One palm after another struck Chen Yue like a storm, each palm powerful and heavy.

Guo Xun also came to his senses, suppressing his fear, knowing that if he did not get rid of this boy today, there would be endless trouble in the future.

Wielding his short halberd like a wheel, he combined it with Gu Yiqiu's frontal assault, launching a frenzied attack on Chen Yue's protective aura from other directions.

"Bang! Bang! Clang!"

The dull thuds continued, and Chen Yue felt his internal energy being rapidly depleted like a flood.

Even a martial artist in the Bone Forging Realm has limited internal strength. Faced with the combined attack of a Marrow Refining Realm cultivator and a Bone Forging Realm cultivator, even with divine protection, it would be difficult to sustain the attack.

Chen Yue's mind raced. He took a deep breath, and his body emitted a series of deep and violent tiger roars. The Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield was pushed to its current limit, and the protective energy suddenly expanded and exploded outward.

"boom!"

A powerful recoil force emanated from Chen Yue, causing Gu Yiqiu and the other person's offensive to slow down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yue unleashed the full power of his Cloud Thousand Steps, instantly creating a distance of three or four zhang before speeding away.

With his current strength, he can contend with those in the Marrow Refining Realm, but to win, especially with the opponent having helpers, is almost impossible.

The best course of action now is to leave!

"Trying to run? Too late!"

How could Gu Yiqiu allow him to escape? The potential and secrets Chen Yue had revealed had solidified his resolve to kill him. In a flash, he gave chase like a persistent, unyielding wound.

The two of them, one in front of the other, ran dozens of feet in the blink of an eye under the moonlight.

Chen Yue pushed his Cloud-Soaring Steps to their limit, his figure elusive, using the terrain to his advantage. But Gu Yiqiu, with his seasoned experience, could always predict his route, and the distance between them gradually closed.

"If the Thousand Steps of Clouds could be fully perfected, perhaps I could be free from this today..." A trace of regret flashed through Chen Yue's mind.

This technique, which combines multiple movement methods, has been mastered, but it has not yet reached the state of perfect harmony. In terms of explosive speed, it still lacks a bit of refinement.

Moreover, this movement technique does not have any secret methods to temporarily boost speed.

After all, it is composed of different movement techniques pieced together and fused together, making it difficult to be comprehensive in every aspect.

"Youngster! If you resist any longer, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

Gu Yiqiu's icy voice, like a vengeful ghost, came from behind him, less than three zhang away.

He wasn't simply showing any interest in talent; rather, he was increasingly convinced that Chen Yue possessed a great opportunity.

It's impossible for such a martial arts prodigy to appear out of thin air in this small county town, let alone have such a profound body-refining divine skill. This boy must have a secret!

If he could capture them and force them to reveal the truth… a burning greed blazed in Gu Yiqiu’s eyes.

Before he finished speaking, he had already closed in again, and with a palm strike that gathered all his strength and carried the force of wind and thunder, he slammed it hard into Chen Yue's back. This palm strike was intended to severely injure Chen Yue and render him powerless to resist.

Chen Yue sensed the palm strike behind him and knew he could no longer escape by speed alone. He twisted his body sharply, and the pale golden energy in his right fist, which had been gathering power for a long time, condensed again to meet the incoming palm strike.

"Bang!"

The fist and palm collided solidly once again. With a muffled thud, Chen Yue used the force of the palm to flip backward in mid-air, dissipating some of the force and creating a distance of several feet.

However, this forced turn and counterattack completely disrupted the fluidity of his escape technique, and his speed inevitably slowed down.

After such a fierce battle, Chen Yue had exhausted most of his internal energy, and the situation was becoming increasingly precarious.

Chen Yue looked at the menacing Gu Yiqiu: "I have no intention of making enemies with anyone. All I want is a peaceful place to cultivate in peace."

"Quiet cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yiqiu's face revealed undisguised mockery:

"Young man, it seems you haven't grasped the ways of the world! Without strength or connections, what gives you the right to remain silent? The law of the jungle prevails, it's only natural! However..."

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone taking on a condescending quality:

"I'll give you one last chance, considering your exceptional talent. Come back with me and prove your worth. With the power of my Youquan Prefecture, I can certainly protect you and provide you with a peaceful environment for cultivation!"

Chen Yue remained silent and did not answer.

His gaze fell on the panel, specifically on [Source Point: 1].

Origin Points can enhance cultivation techniques and even talents, and the enhancement is completed in an instant. This is the explanation given on the panel, which Chen Yue experienced when he first used Origin Points.

Seeing Chen Yue remain silent, Gu Yiqiu assumed he was weighing the pros and cons, and inwardly sneered, but outwardly adopted a final ultimatum stance, his voice turning stern:

"My patience is limited, and I've given you more than enough chances! Don't ruin your own life!"

As they were talking, Guo Xun had already caught up, and together they subtly surrounded Chen Yue from the left and right, blocking his escape route.

Although the young man in front of him has managed to hold on until now thanks to his protective aura and superb movement skills, and seems to be unharmed, everyone present knows that his internal energy must have been greatly depleted.

How can the foundation of a Bone Forging Realm martial artist compare to that of a Marrow Refining Realm martial artist?

Once the strength is exhausted and the protective energy dissipates, one becomes like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Three!" Gu Yiqiu coldly uttered a number and began to count down, an invisible pressure spreading with his voice.

Chen Yue slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the two people in front of him.

The sole source point suddenly vanished, landing on the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield.
