My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

However, though his Saber Momentum was ferocious, he held back his True Essence, reserving thirty percent of his power.

He had to stay on guard against the young man in the green robes. One can never be too careful.

’However, dragging this out isn’t going to work. I have to find a way to attack the Ghost Ape’s old wound!’

Liang Cheng’s eyes locked onto the scar on the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s chest. He deliberately created an opening, leaving his left shoulder exposed.

Sure enough, the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape swiped at him with its palm!

Instead of retreating, Liang Cheng surged forward. He dropped low in an instant, sliding between the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s legs. Simultaneously, he formed a sword with the fingers of his right hand, condensed all his True Essence, and thrust that finger toward the old wound on the Ghost Ape’s chest!

Profound Yin Sword Technique·Shattering Origin!

The moment his fingertip touched the scar—

SQUELCH!

It plunged right in!

Frigid, violent True Essence flooded in madly!

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape let out a world-shaking shriek of pain. A spray of blood erupted from the old wound on its chest, and its massive body staggered backward, its aura instantly flagging.

But the injury only fueled its ferocity. It ignored the wound, clasped its palms together like a giant hammer, and brought them crashing down on Liang Cheng’s head!

This furious blow was unstoppable!

Liang Cheng’s previous move had spent his momentum, and he had yet to build a new one. Just as he was about to be crushed, his Perfect Wandering Dragon Step allowed him to shift and twist within inches of the attack, forcibly squeezing his way out.

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape didn’t give up. Growing even more frantic, it unleashed another furious strike where Liang Cheng had just been, a blow with the force of a collapsing mountain!

Having just caught his breath, Liang Cheng moved at the last possible second. His body swayed like a dragon’s tail as he pushed his Perfection Realm Wandering Dragon Step to its absolute limit.

Within a hair’s breadth of space, he wrenched his body around, sliding out and just barely scraping past the edge of the giant, clasped palms!

The two giant palms slammed into the ground.

BOOM—!!!

Shattered rock flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. A massive, deep crater had been smashed into the ground!

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s strike hit nothing. Blood gushed from its old wound, its aura growing even weaker, but its savagery was now fully unleashed.

It roared as it turned, its blood-red eyes locked onto Liang Cheng. It lunged again, but its movements were now noticeably slow and stiff.

’Now’s my chance!’

A deadly glint flashed in Liang Cheng’s eyes. Holding back no longer, the nine True Essence Light Groups within him spun madly as he poured every last drop of his majestic Broken Wave True Essence into the Zhenxian Saber!

The blade trembled, emitting a clear hum. As the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape lunged again, Liang Cheng neither dodged nor evaded. Instead, he fearlessly charged forward!

Wind and Thunder Slash·Ninth Layer Thunder Sound!

The light of the blade transformed into nine successive arcs of cyan lightning. Each arc was faster and fiercer than the one before it. Accompanied by the roar of Wind and Thunder, they slammed brutally into the old wound on the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s chest!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG...

Nine muffled thuds rang out, almost simultaneously!

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s formidable physique was torn apart layer by layer. Under the assault of the rampaging Thunder Force and Blade Intent, the flesh and bone around the old wound completely disintegrated!

"ROAR—!!!"

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape let out one last, horrifying shriek as its massive body was sent flying backward. A bloody, basin-sized hole had been blasted through its chest, its internal organs faintly visible within.

It crashed into the stone wall and struggled to get up. After a few attempts, Liang Cheng, seeing this, brought his saber down without a moment’s hesitation.

Kick ’em while they’re down.

Under the ferocious edge of the Zhenxian Saber, the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s wound rapidly widened, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Its strength finally gave out, and the light in its crimson eyes swiftly faded, then died completely.

The Tier Three Fierce Beast, the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape, was dead!

Liang Cheng stood leaning on his saber, panting slightly.

Unleashing his ultimate techniques in rapid succession had consumed a great deal of True Essence. His left shoulder had been grazed by the force of the Ghost Ape’s palm earlier, but thankfully, his Mixed Element Gang Body had protected him, leaving him with only a minor injury.

But he didn’t even glance at the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s corpse. His icy gaze turned directly toward the exit in the rock wall.

There, Li Feng was clutching the Yin Marrow Pearl in one hand, sneaking away cautiously.

"Trying to leave?"

Liang Cheng’s voice wasn’t loud, but Li Feng froze, his expression flickering with uncertainty.

He had personally witnessed Liang Cheng use his True Essence Realm cultivation to slay the injured Tier Three Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape. That level of combat prowess made his heart pound with fear.

Although he also possessed a True Essence Realm cultivation, he had no confidence he could face Liang Cheng head-on.

"My friend, judging by your attire, you must be a senior from the Main Courtyard," Li Feng said, forcing an ugly smile as he clutched the Yin Marrow Pearl even tighter.

"You killed the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape, so its Demon Core is naturally yours. As for this Yin Marrow Pearl, I was the one who discovered it first and expended considerable effort to draw it out. By all rights..."

"Leave it."

Liang Cheng cut him off, slowly raising the Zhenxian Saber and pointing its tip at him. "Either hand over the Yin Marrow Pearl... or die!"

Li Feng’s expression instantly turned hideous. He glanced at the ethereal blue pearl in his hand, then at Liang Cheng’s icy gaze, and rapidly weighed his options in his mind.

’If I fight, there’s an eighty percent chance I’ll lose. My life won’t be guaranteed.’

’Run?’

’Considering the bizarre speed of his Body Technique against the Ghost Ape, I’m not sure I could get away completely unscathed, especially since I’m already injured.’

"Take it!"

Li Feng’s cheek twitched. He violently threw the Yin Marrow Pearl at the ground in front of Liang Cheng. The pearl bounced, letting out a flash of ethereal blue light.

A venomous glint flashed in his eyes for a split second before he turned to leave.

Liang Cheng didn’t stop Li Feng. He picked up the Yin Marrow Pearl and walked over to the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s corpse, preparing to extract its Demon Core.

But just then, a treacherous attack suddenly shot toward him from behind. Without a second thought, Liang Cheng stomped, the ground beneath his feet exploding as his body shot away like an arrow loosed from a bow, dodging the strike.

It turned out that after retreating, Li Feng had judged Liang Cheng by his own selfish standards. His mind had raced: ’If he wasn’t seriously injured, why would he have let me go so easily?’

’He must be at the end of his rope!’

’Besides, the Yin Marrow Pearl is crucial for my breakthrough. How could I give it up so easily?’

In the end, greed overcame reason. In a flash, he had turned back around and launched a surprise attack!

Liang Cheng wasted no words. He formed a sword with the fingers of his left hand. Though he moved second, his strike would land first!
