Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

"So this little Japanese devil's skill isn't fighting, it's poisoning..."

"I can't shake them off, it's so weird!"

Seeing this, Miyamoto Genzo at the bottom of the pit smiled even more coldly, staring intently at Li Xin on the platform, and sneered.

"My ghostly and malevolent spirits are all-pervasive, they cling to you once they touch you, and they will not rest until you are dead!"

"No matter how tough your body is or how strong your fists and feet are, you can withstand physical attacks, but you can't withstand the erosion of Yin energy."

Before long, your vital energy, inner strength, and vitality will be completely devoured by the evil energy, eventually turning you into a pile of mud.

"I'd like to see how you'll break my Undying Demonic Path!"

On the arena, Li Xin stood quietly in place, clearly sensing the strangeness around him.

He finally figured out the other party's trump card.

Miyamoto Genzo's demonic power was not some kind of protective divine skill or extraordinary martial art.

It is a kind of sinister and corrosive evil force.

In close combat.

The moment physical contact occurs, the malevolent energy will silently permeate the opponent's body.

Like countless tiny, disgusting poisonous insects, they are everywhere.

This malevolent energy may not seem powerful, but it is extremely difficult to deal with.

Ordinary forceful blows and brute force strikes are simply not enough to completely eradicate the evil energy.

Once it gets on your skin, it will continuously penetrate and spread through your pores, meridians, and tiny blood vessels.

It gradually erodes flesh and blood, freezes qi and blood, and obstructs the flow of internal energy.

Then gradually seal off hundreds of acupoints around the body, damaging the foundation.

"That's it?"

Li Xin chuckled and shook his head.

"So you're just spewing shit on other people. Your Japanese methods are truly despicable."

Despite the mockery, Li Xin did not underestimate his opponent in the slightest.

He clearly sensed the path and pattern of the malevolent energy permeating his body, and a sense of enlightenment dawned on him.

The internal energy within his body surged instantly, transforming extreme softness into hardness, and violently vibrated outwards.

hum!

A powerful and vigorous energy exploded from within his body.

His skin was slightly swollen, radiating a golden light.

Like the rising sun piercing through the haze.

The vital energy surged from the lower abdomen (Dantian) and rushed along the Ren and Du meridians to the center of the chest, neck, and between the eyebrows.

It circles around the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head, then suddenly turns back and flows to the limbs and bones.

It meticulously covers every inch of skin, every meridian, and every nerve ending on the entire body.

The invisible force instantly wove into a dense, all-encompassing net of energy covering the entire body.

Any dark, malevolent energy that comes into contact with the body will melt away like snow in spring when it encounters the extremely powerful and yang internal energy.

Soon, it all turned into wisps of blue smoke and dissipated with the wind.

Cheng Feiyan, who was watching the game from the side of the stands, suddenly brightened up and blurted out her delight.

"The Yang energy is extremely strong, forming a net of Qi! Junior Brother has done it!"

She turned to look at her father, Cheng Yuanhua, beside her, her eyes filled with shock and uncertainty, wanting confirmation.

Cheng Yuanhua's fingertips trembled slightly, and his hands, which were behind his back, almost shook uncontrollably. A huge wave of emotions surged in his heart.

He forced down his overwhelming shock, raised a hand to stroke his beard, and slowly nodded:

"That's right, he has already entered the third level of Qi Refining, the Grandmaster realm where Qi is distributed throughout the whole body."

"Now his control of energy is even more exquisite."

In terms of foundational knowledge and practice of internal martial arts alone, he already firmly stands among the grandmasters of our time.

Cheng Feiyan quickly pressed on, "Can the ghosts and evil spirits of the Japanese really threaten my junior brother?"

Cheng Yuanhua gently shook his head and smiled:

“Miyamoto Genzo’s martial arts skills are nothing special; his only reliance is his tangible, murderous aura.”

"This evil influence is the most troublesome, with extremely strong penetration and difficulty in eradication."

Last time in the Sakura Embassy District, when the two masters Kirigakure and Momoi besieged me, they also used this method.

Momoi's shikigami, the Yuki-onna, uses this kind of power.

"Once evil qi enters the body, it becomes entangled and corrodes the blood, extremely stubborn and difficult to expel."

"But now, your junior brother's Qiankun Qi is pure, strong, and righteous, which perfectly counters this kind of Yin evil Qi."

Once the energy net is formed, there is no flaw left on his body.

The malevolent energy dissipates upon approaching, vanishes upon touching the body, and can no longer penetrate it in the slightest.

At this point, a complex emotion flashed in Cheng Yuanhua's eyes.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

What pleased him was that his disciple was exceptionally talented and made rapid progress. In a short period of time, his cultivation had caught up with, and even surpassed, his own.

Sadly, by now, he has nothing left to teach.

In terms of physical strength, fist and foot techniques, swordsmanship, spearmanship, and actual combat, Li Xin had long surpassed him.

Now, even the most core internal energy cultivation, the realm of energy control, has been completely caught up.

Its quality is even more refined than his.

His only advantage lies in the subtle techniques of controlling and breaking force that he has accumulated through decades of arduous training.

However, this is merely a difference in skill level; there is no longer any fundamental difference in their abilities.

After briefly rehearsing the scene of the master-disciple duel in his mind, Cheng Yuanhua understood completely.

If he were to fight Li Xin now, he would have no chance of winning and would undoubtedly be defeated.

On the arena, Li Xin closed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing his surroundings.

All evil influences were completely eliminated, and the meridians were cleared.

Qi and blood flow smoothly, and vital energy circulates freely.

I felt relaxed and at ease, even more focused and clear-headed than before the battle.

The gains were enormous.

He originally thought that he would need a long time to hone his skills and practice repeatedly before he could fully grasp the master's technique of spreading energy and covering the whole body with energy.

Unexpectedly, today I am tainted by the evil influence of Miyamoto Genzo.

Under the pressure of life and death, the body reacts autonomously, instantly opening up all the tiny meridians.

Every inch of skin, every cell, and every tiny vein on the body.

How to attach internal energy, how to set up defenses, and how to defend against enemies?

How to eliminate external evils?

All these methods were instantly understood and mastered.

Indeed, in martial arts training, actual combat is always the fastest shortcut to advancement.

A thousand days of peaceful and diligent cultivation are not as valuable as a life-or-death battle.

Only extreme life-or-death threats can fully unleash the potential of the physical body and break through the shackles of one's realm.

Li Xin opened his eyes again and looked at Miyamoto Genzo below the arena.

At this moment, Miyamoto Genzo's arrogant smile froze, and his eyes were filled with hesitation and astonishment.

His supposedly powerful and yin energy was easily neutralized by the opponent, leaving not a trace.

All trump cards, all reliance, were rendered useless in an instant.

"you……"

Seeing his wavering expression and the collapse of his fighting spirit, he was already feeling fear and wanted to admit defeat and back down.

Li Xin didn't give him a chance to beg for mercy.

Before Miyamoto Genzo could come up with his explanation, Li Xin spoke calmly, interrupting him directly.

"Enough with the nonsense. All you have are these insidious tricks; you have no other trump cards. This battle ends here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xin stepped off the stage.

With each step, a gust of wind followed and flames swirled around him.

A long, golden phantom trailed behind it in the daylight.

In an instant, he traversed more than ten meters and appeared directly in front of Miyamoto Genzo.

Miyamoto Genzo was shocked and forcibly suppressed his shock, hastily raising his hand to try to block and defend.

Li Xin gently vibrated one arm, spreading out a circular force that instantly shook off his opponent's arms with a gentle yet domineering energy.

A wisp of extremely refined internal energy condensed in his palm, the force reduced to a single point, as fine as a needle.

The palm pressed down precisely on the core pivot point where the black energy flowed in Miyamoto Genzo's chest.

Bang!

A low, muffled thud exploded.

The dark, malevolent aura surrounding Miyamoto Genzo was precisely pierced by this needle-like internal force.

Like a balloon punctured and bursting, it disintegrates layer by layer.

The dissipated black energy tried to gather again, but the bright yellow flames attached to Li Xin's palm instantly erupted.

Ignite all remaining negative energy.

With a whoosh.

The thick black smoke turned into wisps of blue smoke and burned away completely.

Before Miyamoto Genzo could recover from his panic, Li Xin's other hand slipped out from under his elbow.

The punch was incredibly precise, striking his vital point, the Tanzhong acupoint, with tremendous force.

This punch completely shattered all the barriers of evil energy and physical defenses.

Li Xintian could clearly see the bright red core light spot inside the other person's body that maintained their life force.

Under this punch, it shattered inch by inch and collapsed completely in an instant.

Miyamoto Genzo froze, his body rooted to the spot, unable to move.

The next second, a muffled thunderous sound erupted from his body.

All the bones and tendons in his body were shattered, and the layers of muscles and fascia throughout his body were torn apart.

The torso, limbs, and internal organs were completely displaced and shattered.

It was as if a powerful bomb was hidden inside his body, and it suddenly exploded.

With a loud bang!

His entire body was instantly torn to pieces and completely exploded.

The scattered pieces of flesh and remains instantly turned a dark, murky black, emitting a strong, putrid stench.

It was as if a rotting corpse, dead for a hundred years, had been suddenly exposed to the air, making one want to vomit.

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

"it is good!"
