Seeking Martial Dao in All Reborn Lives

Seek advantage and avoid harm. Never stand beneath a precarious wall.

Even a single bomb placed within their perception range would have been easy to detect, to say nothing of such a large-scale ambush.

Moreover, among the Neon masters present, there was one who specialized in Spiritual Ability, whose Perception Power far surpassed that of ordinary experts.

’The work of Jinmen’s Three Elders?’

The five, who understood the situation in Jinmen well, immediately formed a guess.

Within Jinmen, only the Three Elders could accomplish something like this. Although the three of them had not advanced to the Harmony realm, they studied Qimen Formations and were proficient in Mechanical Expansion Techniques. For the past twenty years, they had even kept up with the times by researching firearm technology. Most of their inventions were difficult to mass-produce due to the Divine Land’s lack of an industrial base and the necessary raw materials, but they still posed an immense threat to high-level masters.

In the threat rankings of various nations, the Three Elders’ threat level was, in some ways, even higher than that of the Sixteen Generals.

Only they could combine Qimen Formations with firearms to deceive the perception of a master, achieving such a masterful deception!

Combining arrays with firearms to block a master’s perception and give ordinary people a chance to threaten Martial Dao experts has long been a major area of research for all nations. They’ve already had some success, but they never expected the Three Elders to have made such a breakthrough as well.

’The Divine Land is truly full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. It seems we’ll need to increase our surveillance on the Three Elders. It would be best to get talents like them under our control.’

The guesses of the Five Nations’ consuls were, in fact, quite accurate. The bomb ambush was indeed the handiwork of the Three Elders.

Using an array to perform such a masterful deception—concealing the threat of modern weaponry and blocking a master’s perception—was an exceedingly difficult task. It not only required specific technology, but the most difficult part was finding the necessary precious materials.

Furthermore, this type of bomb could only conceal its own presence. The moment it detonated, the array would be destroyed, and a master’s perception would return. The spread of the explosion might seem instantaneous, but for a Harmony master with godlike reflexes, that brief moment was enough to react and drastically reduce the damage taken.

Therefore, unless used in special circumstances or with specific terrain, this type of bomb could rarely pose a true threat to a Harmony master.

The bombs now planted on the ships in the harbor represented the Three Elders’ entire stockpile. They were originally buried beneath a courtyard at the Martial Arts Association Headquarters, meant for a final, desperate act of mutual destruction, taking the enemy down with them.

Zhao Xuanqi was facing his enemies alone. The pressure was immense, and he had to rely on other means to aid him.

BOOM!!

The moment the explosion occurred, An Yuan Wuyan and the other two sensed it and reacted at the critical moment.

They erupted with Gang Qi, adjusted their stances, and braced for the explosive impact.

An explosion of this magnitude could hardly cause them any real harm, but the shockwave was enough to separate the three of them, and the chaos of the blast would briefly weaken their perception.

And this would provide Zhao Xuanqi with the perfect opportunity.

Separated, they stabilized themselves immediately after the initial shockwave and entered a state of high alert.

East Mountain Good Horses’ expression was cold. The very instant he stabilized his body, he felt a ripple in the water’s surface beneath his feet.

BOOM!!

The water beneath his feet suddenly erupted, and a figure, like a Divine Dragon, leaped out from beneath the surface.

A terrifying Force surged, shattering the water’s surface into a blinding spray that filled the air.

East Mountain Good Horses—he was Zhao Xuanqi’s first target!

The Gang Qi ability this man displayed was far too strange and terrifyingly powerful. Not even Zhao Xuanqi could block his techniques head-on. In a three-on-one assault, this man’s abilities and destructive power would cause him immense trouble.

Therefore, he needed to eliminate this threat first, and in the shortest time possible.

This was the trump card prepared by the Three Elders, and it had created his one and only chance!!

Go all out, holding nothing back!

ROAR!!

The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Acupoints in his body trembled violently. The Dragon Gate Secret Technique had long been activated, and his Qi and Blood flowed unimpeded, as if a dragon were soaring through the heavens.

Zhao Xuanqi lunged at East Mountain Good Horses.

’I’m the target?! You’ve picked the wrong opponent!!’

An intense sense of crisis enveloped East Mountain Good Horses, yet a savage smile spread across his face. The tumor-like protrusions on his palms vibrated violently, and his Gang Qi was already tinged with escaping blood.

VMMMM!!

A terrifying vibration spread out. Within a radius of several meters, Sound Waves and Gang Qi combined to form a frightening Qi Shield as he swung his arms continuously, his Gang Blades linking in the air to form a web of steel.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!!

However, as fast as his attacks were, Zhao Xuanqi’s dodges were faster still. His body seemed to transform—into earth, then water, then quicksand—constantly changing form amid the onslaught. He evaded East Mountain Good Horses’ attacks with impossible grace, simultaneously counter-attacking from uncanny angles.

Earth Demon’s Seventy-Two Transformations!

This was a technique born from utilizing the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Acupoints to their absolute limit, combining all manner of secret techniques, physical prowess, and powerful skills. It was the ultimate explosion of Physical Ability, Spirit, skill, and Secret Technique—a relentless combo designed to hunt down and reap the soul!

When unleashed, it was like the legendary Seventy-Two Transformations: endless, and impossible to grasp. The greater the user’s experience and bodily control, the more terrifying the combinations of techniques became.

However, continuously activating Secret Techniques and attacking with full force placed an immense strain on both one’s Physical Ability and Spirit.

But at a time like this, Zhao Xuanqi couldn’t afford to worry about such things.

’How is this possible?!!’

Shock flashed in East Mountain Good Horses’ eyes. To him, Zhao Xuanqi seemed to have transformed into a current of water, merging as one with the sea.

His slashes were incredibly sharp, but even the sharpest blade cannot cut flowing water.

Drawing a sword to cut the water only makes it flow faster!

In less than three seconds, the two had exchanged ten moves, and East Mountain Good Horses realized he had already fallen to a complete disadvantage.

’This is Zhao Xuanqi’s true strength?!’

He had captured Meng Dongtai alive and forced back three Harmony masters. Everyone already took him seriously enough, but it seemed they had still underestimated him!

Vaguely, East Mountain Good Horses thought he saw a faint smile on Zhao Xuanqi’s face, a look of what seemed to be immense joy.

’This pressure, this feeling of threat... He hadn’t felt it in a long time. But today, besieged by these three, he was recalling the sensation once more.’

’The combined assault of these three posed a lethal threat to my life.’

’But only under threat, under immense pressure, could I push myself further and squeeze out all of my body’s potential.’

’Tonight would be a hunt of life and death.’

’And East Mountain Good Horses... is my first prey!!’

In a mere five seconds, the two had exchanged more than twenty moves.

WHOOSH!!

Just then, a fierce gale suddenly struck. The great wind scattered the lingering smoke, and the aftershocks from the Purple Gunpowder Bomb’s explosion were actually blown away by this single gust.

The battlefield was clear of obstructions once more!!

FWOOSH FWOOSH FWOOSH!!

Two figures shot toward Zhao Xuanqi and his opponent.

Once they surrounded him, Zhao Xuanqi would be in mortal peril!

Although East Mountain Good Horses was steadily losing ground, a slight smile touched his lips.

’No matter how strong you are, as long as I can stall you for a moment, you will be the one to lose!!’

’Even a prodigy like you will vanish completely from this world tonight!!’

East Mountain Good Horses assumed a defensive stance, preparing to hold out for just a few more moments.

’Now!!’

But in that instant, a sharp glint flashed in Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes.

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

Reinforcements were arriving, and victory was in sight. Even a Harmony master would instinctively let out a breath of relief at such a moment.

A drop in Spirit, a lapse in will!

This was the opening!!

BANG!!

A Secret Technique activated, and Qi and Blood rushed to his head. A silver light flashed in Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes, and a giant beast’s head instantly filled East Mountain Good Horses’ entire field of vision.

In that instant, his mind was seized, and the smile froze on his face.
