Chapter Forty-Seven: Spare Your Life

  This move, "Bathing in the Clear Spring", was a full-force release. He had cultivated his inner vortex to its peak, and whether it was his cultivation or strength, he was still above Jiang Nan. Especially his power, which had already surpassed the Five Elements' power, reaching the level of Six Elements' power, exceeding Jiang Nan's by an entire element!

  His two palms, mixed with his majestic power, were filled with a mighty force of 60,000 catties!

  "Dragon Tiger Elephant Power, Elephant King Divine Pillar!"

  Jiang Nan didn't dodge or evade, his entire body suddenly transformed, as if a giant elephant stood there, both palms also swung out fiercely, unleashing his strength freely and effortlessly, meeting the double palms of Mu Qingquan!

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  A giant tree transformed from the true energy of a single plant was crushed to powder between the palms of two people, and with a loud crash, the four palms met. Jiang Nan immediately let out a muffled groan, his divine pillar being shattered, his body sent flying by the force transmitted through the palm of Zhuo Qingquan's hand, crashing into and breaking three or four trees before finally coming to a stop, and a mouthful of blood involuntarily spurted out.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  His entire body's recovered arrow wounds suddenly burst open under Mo Qing's strike, blood splashing everywhere!

  "The divine aura of the sacred tree in the Imperial Palace is indeed extraordinary! Unfortunately, Qi Zhongliang, you are too close, it's not convenient to kill you now!"

  Jiang Nan burst out laughing, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, sealed up all the wounds on his body, turned around and flew off swiftly. His voice echoed far away: "Mu Qingquan, I'll spare your life for now!"

  Mu Qingquan's face turned iron-green, standing still on the spot. After a moment, his palms suddenly pressed down on the ground, and two arrow-like energies shot out from his palms with a hiss, blasting open two large holes in the ground.

  Just now when he was fighting with Jiangnan, although he wounded Jiangnan, at the same time Jiangnan also forced those two arrows of energy into his body, almost shooting him through!

  These two arrows of energy are the transformed aura of Tianbao's eunuch, with extremely high quality. After entering his body, they wreak havoc, forcing him to mobilize more than half of his cultivation to suppress these two arrows of energy. If he were to fight Jiangnan in this state, he would absolutely fall into a disadvantageous position.

  His cultivation was indeed unparalleled, approaching the outer cauldron, and he was worthy of being able to challenge Qifeng. He quickly forced out the two arrow energies from his body, even more effortlessly than Jiangnan.

  "Spare my life..."

  Mu Qingquan's eyes flashed with a fierce glint, his gaze becoming piercingly sharp: "Even if I've spent most of my cultivation suppressing the arrow energy, it's not something you can withstand. You actually dare to ask me to spare your life?! However, this kid is indeed formidable - even I wasn't careful and was caught off guard by him, no wonder Lu died at his hands. You've already lost the use of the arrow energy, I'd like to see how you'll die next time I catch up to you!"

  "Brother Mu, I just heard the sound of fighting. Has Lu brother already killed that little brat?" A figure flashed by, and Qi Zhongliang appeared beside Mu Qingquan, asking.

  "Lu was killed by him," said Mu Qingquan, shaking his head slowly.

  Qizhong Liang was startled, and exclaimed: "Impossible? Brother Lu is a cultivator of the Inner Gang, while Jiang Zikuan that kid is only in the Refining Qi realm, how...".

  Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Jinggong's corpse, like a pile of rotten meat, and his face changed slightly.

  Mu Qingquan said slowly: "I just exchanged a move with him, this kid has definitely cultivated to the Hunyuan realm, his cultivation is deep and not inferior to Lu Xiong's. The quality of his true energy is extremely high, not inferior to the Leng Qi, his power has reached the level of the Five Elements, and it's not inferior to the inner Leng Qi!"

  "The Power of the Five Elements?"

  Qizhong Liang's eyes sparkled with a cold smile, "It seems that it must be the effect of his Dragon-Tiger Elephant Fist technique that has brought his power to the level of an Inner Circle strongman! His Dragon-Tiger Elephant Fist technique will not surpass mine from the Qizhong family, but my realm is higher than his. In terms of pure strength, he is far inferior to me!"

  The Dragon-Tiger Elephant Power of the Qi Wang Fu is extremely powerful and overbearing, especially in terms of strength, surpassing other heart methods. Qi Zhongliang cultivated this heart method to the inner circulation realm, under the protection of the circulation aura, his strength was so strong that even on the surface of the Clear Spring, he reached the power of six elephants and three tigers, which is why he was so confident.

  "Did that little brat kill Lord Luo?"

  Tian Bao's eunuch suddenly appeared, saw Lu Jinggong's corpse, and his eyes twitched involuntarily. Lu Jinggong was a talented person from the Lu Marquis' manor, with a promising future to inherit the throne, but unexpectedly died at Jiang Nan's hands, which was beyond his expectation!

  "Lu Gongzi is dead, and if Your Highness finds out about this, you will definitely blame me."

  Tian Bao's face was uncertain, he did not protect him well, resulting in Jiang Nan killing Lu Jing Gong. If the news of Lu Jing Gong's death reached the ears of Lu Hou Fu, the second master Su Che would have added a lot of obstacles to his plan to win over Lu Hou Fu.

  What annoyed him the most was that he told Mu Qingquan and others that he would take charge, but before he could even finish his sentence, Jiangnan had already killed Lu Jinggong, which was equivalent to slapping him in the face!

  "Lu Gongzi is dead, and if the other two Gongzis are injured, Your Highness will skin me alive... This little brat can't be allowed to continue being arrogant, he must be eliminated as soon as possible! Unfortunately, this little brat is extremely cunning, darting back and forth in the mountains, making it impossible to lock him down with the Swan Goose Bow. In that case, I'll speed up my pace and take him down personally!"

  Three people rushed forward, tracing the trail left by Jiangnan. However, what made them shocked was that this time Jiangnan left no footprints at all, and it was impossible to find his tracks. What's more, his breath suddenly became faint, apparently mastering a method of sealing one's own breath.

  Even a powerful figure like Tianbao Taijian could not accurately grasp his position, and could only vaguely search for his general direction, without losing him.

  Fortunately, Jiang Nan was injured in the south and needed to constantly circulate the Xuan Taijing Scripture to absorb the original energy of the sun. He couldn't completely hide his breath, otherwise they could only let Jiang Nan escape.

  "Mu Qingquan is indeed extremely formidable, worthy of being a strong player at the peak of Neigang, and is an extremely difficult person to deal with."

  Jiang Nan discarded all his aura, rushing through the mountains and forests, his mind stirred, operating the Xuan Tai Jing, the light around him seemed to dim suddenly, the densest sun's primordial energy surged in, transformed into true energy within his body, and then was refined by the demon species into a demonic energy.

  At the same time, his true energy stirred up the Douluo Sacred Fire and the Youming Sacred Water in his brow, with the fire element and water element simultaneously circulating within his true energy to continuously temper his skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and membranes. It also tempered his true energy halo, demonic aura, and spirit, allowing his cultivation and strength to constantly rise and advance!

  Divine water and divine fire temper the body, divine water washes away polluted blood and stagnant blood, taking away hidden diseases, while divine fire refines the flesh, making his physique even stronger!

  The wounds on his body healed quickly, and the scars fell off soon after. Before long, the color of the new skin returned to normal, and if you didn't look closely, it was almost impossible to tell that he had been injured.

  His battle with Lu Jinggong and Mu Qingquan brought him many benefits, causing the demonic clock in his body to vibrate constantly, shattering and reorganizing his true energy, making his aura cultivation even more profound than before, and the speed of refining his aura into a halo was faster than before.

  On the second day, Jiang Nan ran for a night and still looked spirited. His injuries had all recovered, and his cultivation had made significant progress. With just one move of his aura, he emitted a loud humming noise, like striking thick steel bars, showing how powerful his aura was!

  The power within him was also surging rapidly, as the sun rose higher and higher, the sun's energy became more and more concentrated, and the increase in power was also constantly rising.

  The strength of five elephants and two tigers!

  The power of five elephants and three tigers!

  The power of five elephants and four tigers!

  ……

  When the sun was high in the sky, his power had actually increased to the level of Wu Xiang and Qi Hu, with an increase in magnitude that was almost equivalent to taking a refined Shelili Lingdan. In terms of pure power, he was even above Mu Qingquan!

  However, Jiangnan was still not satisfied. Being stronger than Mu Qingquan did not mean he could defeat him in terms of strength. The most important factor that determined one's strength, apart from power, was cultivation. Mu Qingquan's cultivation was far superior to his, and with his powerful cultivation, he could easily make up for the lack of strength and suppress him!

  "To defeat Mu Qingquan, there are only three ways. The first is to continue to increase one's power, using an overwhelming force to crush him to death. The second way is to improve one's cultivation, raising it to a level that surpasses his, but this is very difficult to achieve. Although I have the Sheli Lingdan in hand, rapidly improving one's cultivation can lead to instability in the foundation, and when breaking through to the next realm, the obstacles encountered will be even greater."

  Jiang Nan thought to himself: "The third way is to cultivate even more profound martial arts, which can also make up for the lack of strength. However, the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Fist is already the most advanced and unique skill in Jianwu Country, and it's impossible to cultivate an even more profound martial art in a small place like Jianwu Country."

  He now realizes why Jiang Xueyi repeatedly told him that Jianwu Country is a small place, difficult to raise a big dragon. It's indeed too small here, and the foundation of martial arts is also extremely weak. Only by going to a more vast place will there be greater development.

  "This time after returning to the Medicine King's mansion, I'll deal with all the grudges and then leave. I'll return to the Qi Wang City, reunite with Sister Jiang Xue, and then pass on the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Fist technique to Tie Zhu. After that, my sister and I will leave this place far behind!"

  The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is vast enough for birds to fly.

  He is no longer the Wu Xiaomon, but a master who has cultivated the Hunyuan realm, and can even kill strong internal practitioners with his bare hands. This kind of strength is rare in the entire Jianwu country, and in the imperial court, he can at least become a general who commands an army. How can he be willing to continue hiding in the Qi Wang City?

  Moreover, his ambition is great, what glory and wealth, what promotion and fortune, what enfeoffment as king or marquis, all are not in his eyes, even if the emperor abdicates to him, he would not deign to accept.

  Only by becoming a great deity can he take revenge on the two heavenly gods who destroyed his hometown and caused his family to be broken and ruined, which is his purpose!

  To avenge against the heavenly gods, one must at least become a heavenly god. How can the imperial throne be compared to those high and mighty divine spirits?

  "Now I want to surpass Mu Qingquan, and the only way is to advance together with him, to improve both my strength and cultivation, to use my cultivation to counter his, and my strength to crush him!"

  The battle intent in Jiangnan was burning fiercely: "Since I can't surpass Mu Qingquan, I'll start by taking down Qi Zhongliang first. I'll use him as a whetstone to hone myself!"
