Book 15: Chapter 55

Book 15: Chapter 55

Though his gaze was cast in front of him, Li Zizis eyes were blank. His yang qi flow switched between normal and in reverse. The only thing worth praising was that his warm qi made their way to his limbs to provide a boost. Typically, itd take years for someone refining their qi to have their qi flow in the same manner, so it was ridiculous for someone to achieve the feat in less than two months.

Li Zizi was confident his shifu was right. If he couldnt defeat the five, then he had no right to wield the power. Little did he know that his shifu withheld critical information from him. While the five were unacquainted and didnt seem to have any strategy to their advance, all of them assumed positions to stop their prey from escaping an encirclement. The one route they left open was dangerous trap for any nave fool. The five of them werent small-time thugs or bums in the martial world.

Tong Chuan, the leader of the group, was a violent criminal in the underworld with a long list of crimes to his name. He used his heavy bronze whip as a disguise for his notoriously violent reputation. The fact that the other four he wasnt acquainted with were willing to accept him as their leader made a point. Even though he stood right at the rear of the group, his hostility was uncoverable.

The big-bellied man armed with an executioner broadsword was a bandit from the desert in the northwest. Though his skills were limited, he was fearless and possessed incredible brute strength.

Peng Caiji, a broadsword wielder who chose to hang his weapon from his sash, was once a disciple of Liuzhous Longcheng Sect until he turned to villainy. Though his amble to the left-hand side was devoid of threat, he never loosened his grip on his weapon. He was the first one among the five to focus on Ming Feizhen instead of Li Zizi.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

The bronze-cudgel wielder and the whip user were long-time allies of Tong Chuan.

Suddenly, Li Zizi suffered vertigo, loss of vision, loss of hearing, and even loss of control over his body. It was his first time experiencing helplessness in the heat of battle. He tried to summon qi and collect pure yang qi, but it only locked up his true qi flow even further, restricting his movements more.

Paraplegia was only one sign of qi deviation and far from the most serious symptoms. Li Zizi expended all his qi in his first punch, and then he emptied out his qi source when he used Pure Yang One Qis mobility techniques to evade the strikes. Had he not scared the other four after his surprising victory against Tong Chuan, hed already be a corpse. Peng Caiji was the only person who was brave enough to jump in first, but even he hesitated once all his attacks were given the slip.

Rather than experience fear after witnessing Tong Chuans death, the big man felt even more motivated to fight. He raised his executioner broadsword overhead and swung for Li Zizis head.
