Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang and Lv Donglin listened, dumbfounded. Lv Donglin couldn't help but say, "No way, is the Martial Champion really that strong? Isn't he also in the Great Perfection Realm?"

Qi Zhishan shook his head: "You wouldn't understand not being at this realm. Every era produces its talents, and figures like us appear in each generation. The Martial Champion has stood in this position for so many years, not just by luck. Countless people have challenged him, too many to count. Since his rise to fame, the Martial Champion has not tasted defeat. Do you think it's as simple as just saying it? What kind of power must be behind this to sustain him!"

Su Yang nodded slowly. He could understand this. The Martial Champion stands at such a high place; surely many would challenge him. Never tasting defeat—those four words are truly as heavy as a mountain!

"In the coming days, I must first find the Martial Champion, and then I'll look for the Four Major Sects!" Qi Zhishan said to Su Yang, "Brother Su, I owe you a great debt. Once my affairs are settled, we shall meet again!"

Qi Zhishan finished, directly descending from the air.

The girl's remains had already scattered into the world, making it impossible to gather them again. He sighed with regret, buried the bodies of the two elders in a coffin, and then placed the coffin underground.

After tidying up the grave, erecting two tombstones, Qi Zhishan respectfully kowtowed several times before the grave. Then, he also crushed to death that man from the Qi Family—his cousin.

After completing all this, he waved to Su Yang and Lv Donglin, leapt skyward, and vanished instantly on the horizon.

Su Yang and Lv Donglin exchanged glances, neither daring to linger, quickly disguising themselves and quietly left.

About more than an hour after everyone had left, another person swiftly flew in.

This person bore white wings, clad in a red dress—it was none other than Lianna.

After landing, she glanced around and, finding no one, cautiously opened the grave on the ground and took out the two coffins.

When she left before, she noticed there was engraving on the coffin lid, but she was in too much of a hurry to take a good look. This time she returned to clearly see what was engraved on the lid.

After opening the coffin lid and scrutinizing the content, Lianna smiled faintly.

"In life we could not share a quilt, in death we share a tomb!"

Lianna softly read the engraving on the coffin lid, silent for a long time, then chuckled, "What an interesting fellow!"

She put the lid back in place, returned the coffin to its original spot, and restored the grave to its initial state, then looked toward the sky. Her beautiful eyes shone, seemingly deep in thought. After a while, her wings spread open behind her, flying toward the heavens, disappearing from sight.

...

North of the Yangtze River, in a city controlled by the Four Major Sects.

The Jade-faced Judge resided in a villa on the outskirts of the city, meditating quietly inside. Suddenly, he felt a premonition of danger and hurriedly flew out of the room.

In the living room, a black vortex was slowly forming. However, its appearance seemed unstable, as if it might shatter at any moment.

The Jade-faced Judge extended his right hand, using his own power to stabilize the vortex. After a short while, two people burst out of the vortex: one was the bloodied Three-eyed Ghost King, the other was Ge Kaiyang.

The Three-eyed Ghost King collapsed to the ground upon landing, unable to even crawl.

Though Ge Kaiyang wasn't heavily injured, his face was full of terror, clearly in fear.

The Three-eyed Ghost King waved his hand, and the vortex vanished instantly. He quickly approached the two, first checking on Ge Kaiyang's condition. Seeing that he was unharmed, he sighed with relief, then swiftly turned to the Three-eyed Ghost King.

The Three-eyed Ghost King was severely injured, breathing weakly, on the brink of death.

The Jade-faced Judge furrowed his brow, grabbed the Three-eyed Ghost King's wrist with one hand and pressed the other on his forehead, injecting streams of power into the Three-eyed Ghost King's body.

Gradually, glimmers of light appeared on the Three-eyed Ghost King's body, and a vertical eye slowly emerged on his forehead. This eye continuously absorbed the power from the Jade-faced Judge, gradually repairing the Three-eyed Ghost King's body.

If someone were here to witness this, they would understand what the Three-eyed Ghost King's three eyes signify. His forehead really has a third eye!

After a full five minutes, the Three-eyed Ghost King finally exhaled deeply, and the Jade-faced Judge released his grasp.

However, the Jade-faced Judge dared not be careless, pulling out several porcelain bottles, pouring out an Elixir Pill from each, and feeding them to the Three-eyed Ghost King.

After swallowing these Elixir Pills, the Three-eyed Ghost King lay still for more than ten minutes, slowly awakening.

Seeing the Jade-faced Judge standing beside him and feeling the vertical eye on his forehead, the Three-eyed Ghost King immediately realized what had occurred. He quickly got up, knelt at the Jade-faced Judge's feet, and said tremblingly, "Thank you, master, for saving my life!"

The Jade-faced Judge waved his hand, softly saying, "Get up!"

The Three-eyed Ghost King rose, his face still full of gratitude.

The Jade-faced Judge glanced at Ge Kaiyang beside him and said gravely, "Weren't you going to find Qi Zhishan? What happened? Why are you like this?"

The Three-eyed Ghost King and Ge Kaiyang exchanged glances, shivering at the mention of Qi Zhishan.

The Three-eyed Ghost King recounted the events, and upon hearing it, the Jade-faced Judge's brows immediately furrowed.

"His power changed, five Water Dragons actually merged into one?" The Jade-faced Judge said gravely, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"No!" Both shook their heads in unison.

The Jade-faced Judge stood, paced in place, his brows tightly knitted, clearly agitated.

"Grandpa, what's going on?" Ge Kaiyang asked in astonishment, "Why did Qi Zhishan's strength suddenly become so formidable?"

The Jade-faced Judge took a deep breath, gravely said, "This must be the power of the Dragon God Technique!"

"Dragon God Technique!?" Both were surprised, not understanding what it meant.

The Jade-faced Judge explained the Dragon God Technique, and both were dumbfounded after listening.

"Wasn't he cultivating the Nine Dragons Technique? How did it suddenly become the Dragon God Technique?" Ge Kaiyang asked in amazement.

The Jade-faced Judge said in a low voice, "Rumor has it that the Heavenly Realm once obtained three incomplete pages of the Dragon God Technique. Qi Bachi once schemed against Ye Sword Saint, and was later imprisoned by the Heavenly Court's Investiture of the Gods, likely not cooperating with the Heavenly Court but trading with them. The Heavenly Court probably exchanged those three incomplete Dragon God Technique pages with Qi Bachi, leading Qi Bachi to scheme against Ye Sword Saint. And after obtaining the Dragon God Technique, Qi Bachi might have shown it to Qi Zhishan!"
