My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

On the deck of the three-masted main ship, Flipping River Flood Dragon stood, his black robes fluttering in the wind, his expression grim and sinister.

"Martial Arts Academy! Liang Cheng!"

An icy killing intent surged in his eyes. He had personally made a move in that ambush at Three Bays, yet that brat had somehow managed to escape with his life.

Now, not only had the boy broken through to the True Qi Realm, but he even dared to lead a team straight to the Black Tide’s lair.

"Eldest Master, the last of our brothers have boarded. All the Spirit Stones and Elixirs have been loaded."

The one-eyed leader strode forward to report, then lowered his voice. "The secret message from the Xu Family says that, if necessary, we should prioritize our own survival."

Flipping River Flood Dragon snorted coldly. "The Xu Family has been scared witless by Liang Cheng. Ignore them. Give the order: retreat through the Ghost Water Dao. The outer sentry posts don’t need to fight to the death—just delay them."

"Yes, sir!"

The black ship slowly turned its bow. Just as the prow was about to disappear into the shadows of the waterway—

SHHIIING!

A sharp sound of something tearing through the air suddenly rang out. A pale blue Sword Qi, so condensed it seemed solid, shot forth, carrying a bone-chilling cold as it aimed straight for the black ship’s rudder.

"Hmph?!"

Flipping River Flood Dragon’s pupils contracted. His left hand, which had been resting on his sword, shot up as he struck out with his palm. A powerful, grayish-black Palm Force erupted, intercepting the Sword Qi in a thunderous collision.

BOOM!

The Qi Force exploded. The aftershock tore a gash in the ship’s planks next to the rudder, sending splinters flying. However, the Palm Force and the Sword Qi annihilated each other simultaneously.

"Who’s there?!"

Flipping River Flood Dragon roared, his right hand already gripping his sword hilt. His gaze was locked firmly on the direction the Sword Qi had come from.

From the shadows, Liang Cheng emerged holding his saber. The Zhenxian Saber was pointed diagonally at the ground, its Wujin patterns flowing with a cold, hard luster under the eerie green phosphorescence. His eyes met Flipping River Flood Dragon’s across the distance.

"I have come today to repay the ’gift’ of your sword at Three Bays."

Liang Cheng’s voice was calm, yet every word was crystal clear, silencing all the noise in the cavern. The entire Broken Dragon Cave fell deathly silent in an instant.

The muscles on Flipping River Flood Dragon’s face twitched, then twisted into a ferocious, wild laugh. "Liang Cheng! What nerve! I was just wondering where I’d find you, and here you are, serving yourself up on a platter!"

His right hand drew his longsword. The eerie blue blade glinted with a biting cold light as he pointed its tip at Liang Cheng from afar.

"You got lucky and escaped with your life last time. Today, this Broken Dragon Cave will be your grave!"

With that, Flipping River Flood Dragon leaped forward to attack.

"Die!"

The moment Flipping River Flood Dragon moved, Liang Cheng charged forward to meet him head-on.

The reef rock under his feet shattered as he shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. The Zhenxian Saber left a pale blue afterimage as it slashed straight for his opponent’s face!

The Saber Momentum was simple, yet terrifyingly fast. The blade tore through the air with the faint sound of wind and thunder, and Flipping River Flood Dragon’s pupils contracted.

’So fast!’

He had no time to think. He swept his longsword upward diagonally, a jet of eerie blue Sword Qi erupting from it to meet the incoming blade.

CLANG!!!

Saber and sword met with a thunderous crash.

The two streams of True Qi collided violently. The resulting shockwave sent several nearby Sea Bandits stumbling back, spitting blood before they collapsed. The ship’s hull rocked violently.

Flipping River Flood Dragon felt a colossal force travel up his sword. His arm went numb, and he was forced to take half a step back.

He was horrified.

’Didn’t this kid just enter the True Qi Realm?’

’How could his True Qi be so powerful and condensed?’

Before he could react, Liang Cheng’s Saber Momentum changed again.

One slash became three, surging with wind and thunder, enveloping Flipping River Flood Dragon’s high, middle, and low sections. Flipping River Flood Dragon roared, and the light from his sword flared, weaving into a curtain of eerie blue light.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Metal clashed against metal, sending sparks flying. With every slash he blocked, Flipping River Flood Dragon took another step back. After ten strikes, he had retreated to the edge of the reef, the dark seawater right behind him.

"Eldest Master!"

The surrounding Sea Bandits cried out in alarm when they saw this.

"Get back!"

Flipping River Flood Dragon bellowed, a vicious gleam in his eyes. He had dominated the seas for decades, yet today he was being suppressed by a junior.

’I should have just killed him with one strike back then. Why did it have to come to this?’

At that moment, the True Qi in his body circulated frantically. A bluish-black hue appeared under his skin, and the Sword Qi he emanated suddenly intensified by thirty percent.

Profound Yin Sword Technique!

He thrust his sword. A cold glint pulsed from its tip, and the surrounding temperature plummeted, causing fine ice crystals to condense in the air.

He had put his full power into this strike. Before the Sword Qi even arrived, a bone-piercing chill enveloped Liang Cheng. Yet, Liang Cheng did not dodge or evade. A faint golden radiance flowed around his body like water, and his skin instantly took on the warm, smooth texture of metal.

True Qi Protective!

Golden Armor Realm!

DING—!

The tip of Flipping River Flood Dragon’s sword struck Liang Cheng squarely in the left chest, but no blood sprayed out. Where the sword tip met the skin, the faint golden radiance rippled violently, emitting a clear, crisp ringing sound.

The Cold Yin Sword Qi, powerful enough to pierce Iron Armor, was actually worn down and disintegrated layer by layer by that seemingly thin golden light.

In the end, the sword tip only managed to pierce half a centimeter into the flesh before it could go no further.

Flipping River Flood Dragon’s pupils dilated in utter disbelief.

’How is this possible?!’

’Even a True Qi Realm master of the same level wouldn’t dare to take that full-power strike head-on. Yet this kid just tanked it with his body and only got a flesh wound?’

’This kid is too strange. I’m no match for him. I need to retreat for now!’

But Liang Cheng gave him no such chance. Using Wandering Dragon Step, his left hand shot out like lightning. His five fingers clamped down like an iron vise, gripping the blade of Flipping River Flood Dragon’s sword.

Flipping River Flood Dragon was shocked and tried to channel his energy to wrench the sword back, but Liang Cheng had it locked in place, and it wouldn’t budge an inch.

At that moment, Liang Cheng’s right hand moved the Zhenxian Saber again. He delivered a simple, unadorned downward slash. Where the blade passed, the very air seemed to be split in two.

It was too late for Flipping River Flood Dragon to abandon his sword. His only choice was to release the hilt, cross his palms, and condense his grayish-black True Qi into a thick shield of energy before him.

"Break!"

Liang Cheng let out a low roar. The Triple Force of his Broken Wave Technique surged, each wave stronger than the last. Fueled by the Wind and Thunder Slash, his True Qi grew even more violent.

SHRRRIIIP—!

The energy shield in front of Flipping River Flood Dragon was instantly torn apart. The saber’s edge, moving with unstoppable momentum, slashed down onto his crossed arms.

CRACK!

The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

Flipping River Flood Dragon let out a pained grunt. Excruciating pain shot through his arms as his body flew backward like a kite with a snapped string, crashing heavily against the reef. He coughed, spraying out a mouthful of blood.
