My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

Chapter 136 - 94: Defeating Xu Tianxing

Broken Wave Technique—Triple Overlapping Waves!

This punch carried the force of a tidal wave—faster, heavier, and more tyrannical!

As the fist cut through the air, it produced a sharp, piercing shriek!

Xu Tianxing let out a wild roar, crossing his arms to block. Profound Yin True Qi surged from him, coalescing into a thick Dark True Qi Shield before him.

BANG—!!

The shield shattered like glass. Liang Cheng’s fist tore through the dispersing Vigorous Qi and slammed squarely into Xu Tianxing’s crossed arms.

CRACK!

The crisp sound of bone splitting was enough to set one’s teeth on edge.

"Argh—!"

Xu Tianxing let out a short, agonized cry. His arms bent at an unnatural angle as an irresistible force blasted him off his feet, sending him flying backward like a cannonball into the front courtyard’s screen wall.

BOOM!

The brick screen wall collapsed with a thunderous roar. Amidst the swirling dust, Xu Tianxing lay paralyzed in the rubble, vomiting mouthfuls of blood. His face was as pale as gold foil, and his arms dangled limply at his sides.

From the first move to the last, only three breaths had passed.

With just two punches, Xu Tianxing—the Patriarch of the Xu Family, a master at the True Qi Realm Middle Stage who had dominated Lin Wu City for decades—was utterly defeated!

The entire courtyard fell deathly silent.

Everyone stood frozen, wide-eyed and in disbelief, as if they were all being choked.

Liang Cheng retracted his fist, the glow around his body slowly receding. He walked calmly to the edge of the rubble and looked down at the paralyzed Xu Tianxing.

’This isn’t the power of someone who just entered the True Qi Realm!’

’The sheer density of his True Qi, the tyranny of his Hard Skills... he’s comparable to a True Qi Late Stage expert, or even a Perfection Powerhouse!’

Liang Cheng paid him no more mind and turned to the stunned Zhao Yuan. "Take Xu Tianxing into custody. Bring him, along with these confessions and ledgers, to the main prison. Guard him closely! No one is to visit him without my direct order!"

"Yes, sir!"

Zhao Yuan snapped back to his senses and moved forward with the Martial Arts Academy Disciples, preparing to bind Xu Tianxing in special shackles and haul him away.

The members of the Xu Family were as silent as cicadas in winter, none daring to make a move. Wu Zhenshan was still in a daze when Liang Cheng walked over to him.

"Regarding the Dongshan Mine robbery, some of the stolen goods were handled and signed for by Xu Zhi. The Tongyuan Trading Company was the main party responsible for selling them off. We have both witnesses and material evidence. For this, Xu Tianxing will be held for strict interrogation!"

"Wu the Treasurer, Qiao Zhi of the Qiao Family was merely deceived and used by the Xu Family. She knew nothing. Now that the evidence is clear, Qiao Zhi should be released immediately according to the law!"

His gaze was like lightning as it shot toward Wu Zhenshan.

"Wu the Treasurer, what do you think? Is the case not much clearer now?"

Wu Zhenshan forced a smile.

But before he could answer, an intense pressure suddenly washed over them, causing everyone to look toward the Xu Family’s inner compound in horror.

Then, they saw an old man—thin, plainly dressed, and supported by Xu Feng—slowly emerge from the shadows of the Inner Courtyard’s veranda.

He walked very slowly, his steps almost unsteady. The wrinkles on his face were as deep as gullies, and his eyelids drooped. He looked like an ordinary old man on the verge of death.

But when he slowly raised his seemingly cloudy eyes and swept his gaze across the courtyard, everyone his eyes touched felt their hearts tighten, as if pricked by an invisible needle.

"Sigh..."

The sigh was soft, yet it reached everyone’s ears with perfect clarity.

The newcomer was none other than the stabilizing pillar of the Xu Family, their Supreme Elder, a Perfection Powerhouse of the True Qi Realm!

Xu Jinjiang!

Xu Tianxing’s eyes lit up. "Ancestor!"

Xu Jinjiang’s gaze rested on Liang Cheng for a moment, and a faint, sharp glint flashed within his seemingly cloudy old eyes.

"So young, yet your True Qi is so solid. The Martial Arts Academy has produced a remarkable Disciple. No wonder Tianxing lost so decisively."

His voice was aged and steady, yet it carried the indifferent tone of one long accustomed to a position of authority.

"However, the Xu Family has stood in Lin Wu City for over one hundred and fifty years, and we did not do so by swallowing insults in silence."

Before his words had even faded, he slowly raised his withered, stick-thin right hand by an inch. With just this subtle movement, a powerful pressure instantly radiated out from him once more.

Xu Jinjiang looked at Liang Cheng. "True Inheritor Liang, today you arrested the Patriarch of my Xu Family and seized my family’s assets. If I were to simply stand by and do nothing, what face would the Xu Family have left in Lin Wu City?"

His raised hand, index finger slightly bent, was aimed directly at Liang Cheng.

"You will either release Tianxing, or you will take one blow from my finger. If you can take it, the Xu Family will admit defeat, and I will personally escort Tianxing to your Martial Arts Academy’s prison."

"But if you cannot..."

He did not finish the sentence, but the chilling killing intent that filled the courtyard made his meaning clear.

The atmosphere in the courtyard instantly dropped to a freezing point!

The faces of Lu Qingzhou, Qin Hongyu, and the others turned pale. They couldn’t withstand the pressure emanating from Xu Jinjiang at all. Yun Jinghong gripped his sword hilt, knuckles white, his eyes filled with bitter resentment.

This was the absolute suppression of a higher Realm!

It was said that Xu Jinjiang had been in seclusion for ten years, all for the sake of breaking through to the True Essence Realm, and was just one step away.

Liang Cheng bore the brunt of it. He felt the air around him turn as heavy as mercury, and even the circulation of the Broken Wave Technique’s True Qi in his body slowed slightly.

’So this is the True Qi Realm Perfection?’

’But it’s far less oppressive than the pressure from the Fire Worship Sect’s Left Envoy!’

Because of this, his spine remained ramrod straight, and his gaze held no trace of retreat. Instead, facing that worldly pressure, he took a slow breath, and a faint golden light once again began to glow around his body.

Hard Skills were not suppressed by one’s Realm. He could not retreat now; there was no path of retreat.

Besides, with the strength he’d established from his Perfect Dao Foundation, it was still uncertain who would emerge victorious.

But just as Xu Jinjiang’s withered finger was about to strike, suddenly—

"Old ghost Xu."

A cold voice abruptly rang in everyone’s ears.

"Ten years in seclusion, and you haven’t improved at all, except for your skill at bullying juniors, which you’ve practiced to perfection."

The moment the voice sounded, the pressure blanketing the courtyard dissipated silently, like snow melting in the spring sun. A figure in a green robe appeared in front of Liang Cheng.

The newcomer was none other than the Martial Arts Academy’s Master, Lü Bingchen.

He stood with his hands behind his back, exuding no world-shaking aura. But by simply standing there, he was like another stabilizing pillar, completely neutralizing the pressure Xu Jinjiang had summoned.

A ripple of emotion finally appeared on Xu Jinjiang’s previously stoic face.

"Lü Bingchen..."
