I Have Unlimited Dantians

"It’ll kill us? As long as you don’t make a move, you don’t need to... concern yourself with whether or not it kills us!"

When Luo Yu and Luo Cheng heard the young man say he was going to bring out the Tiger-Headed Beast, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as it appeared, they could confirm that this young man wasn’t lying. If they had to accept their loss, then so be it!

’As for whether it would kill us... Heh heh. Two days ago, that Tiger-Headed Beast was only at the Early-Stage Gang Formation Realm, and we beat it until it was severely injured. Even if it has recovered, it’s nothing to be afraid of.’

’Even though we’re in bad shape right now, dealing with a mere Early-Stage Gang Formation Realm Demon Beast will be no problem at all!’

Luo Yu and Luo Cheng were brimming with confidence.

"You don’t need me to concern myself?"

A peculiar look crossed Nie Yun’s face. He seemed to understand something, and the corners of his lips curled up. He released the pressure pinning the two down. "Fine. You’re the ones who said it. I hope you don’t come begging me for mercy later!"

"We won’t. We are from the Luo Family, and we only bow our heads to the strong..."

"Your strength surpasses ours, we admit that. As for this Demon Pet... well, it’s still young. It’s only natural that it’s no match for us!"

Feeling the pressure abruptly vanish, Luo Yu and Luo Cheng sighed in relief and slowly climbed to their feet.

ROAR!

They had just gotten to their feet when a furious roar echoed from outside the main hall, and Xiaohu charged in like a whirlwind.

’It really is the Tiger-Headed Beast. Looks like he wasn’t lying...’

Even though they had been ninety percent certain after hearing the young man’s words, seeing Xiaohu with their own eyes completely dispelled any remaining doubts about Nie Yun’s identity. At the same time, they inwardly cursed their rotten luck.

’First, we chase down and beat up the Demon Pet of an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse, and now we’re trying to wipe out his disciple’s entire family. If that Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse were to just say a single word to our grandfather, he wouldn’t even have to lift a finger. Our grandfather would personally chop off our heads and deliver them himself...’

"Brother Tiger-Headed Beast, it was all a misunderstanding before. No fight, no friendship, right? Since you’re all right now, that’s just great..."

Xiaohu’s eyes were fixed squarely on the two of them. Luo Yu forced an awkward smile and spoke hastily.

ROAR!

Xiaohu harbored a blood feud against these two men. The moment he saw them, his eyes turned crimson. He didn’t listen to a word of their nonsense. The power of the Peak of Qi Sect erupted from his body like a monstrous wave, instantly surging toward them.

"Holy crap, Peak of Qi Sect! Wasn’t it just at the Early-Stage Gang Formation Realm two days ago? How did it reach the Peak of Qi Sect?!"

"A Peak of Qi Sect Demon Beast... its combat prowess is comparable to an Early-Stage Ultimate Venerable! Offending it is like offending an Ultimate Venerable Level powerhouse! Heavens above, can anyone save me..."

The two of them had initially dismissed Xiaohu, thinking he was only at the Early-Stage Gang Formation Realm. But now, suddenly feeling this aura, they were so terrified they started to tremble. Their minds went blank; they felt like they were going insane.

’Gods, is this Tiger-Headed Beast on some kind of power-up?!’

’This is just unfair!’

Recalling the strange look on the young man’s face and their own confident declarations, the two of them were kicking themselves with regret, wishing they could slap themselves silly.

’If we had known this Tiger-Headed Beast had already reached the Peak of Qi Sect, we wouldn’t have agreed to see it, no matter what! Weren’t we just asking for trouble?’

"Peak of Qi Sect..."

It wasn’t just Luo Yu and Luo Cheng who were scared to death. Even Nie Xiaotian and the Great Elder exchanged a look, feeling the world spin.

’We know this Demon Pet better than anyone. When it left two days ago, it was only at the Early-Stage Gang Formation Realm. How did it reach the Peak of Qi Sect already?’

BOOM!

Ignoring their fear and everyone else’s shock, Xiaohu unleashed its aura and attacked instantly. Its sharp claws swiped forward, and the air seemed to tear with a screech as a bizarre wave of energy surged toward the two men.

Having reached the Qi Sect Realm, Xiaohu had developed its own combat style and was no longer reliant on just a few brutish attacks. Though this swipe contained no formal Martial Arts, its raw power was not to be underestimated. Before Luo Yu and Luo Cheng could even react, they both felt a sharp pain in their chests and were sent flying backward like kites with their strings cut.

"Young Master Nie Yun, save us! We were wrong! We’re willing to compensate you..."

Feeling their sternums shatter, the two of them knew exactly what was happening. They started screaming in a panic before they even hit the ground.

’Demon Beasts don’t know how to hold back. If we don’t beg for mercy now, we’ll die without even knowing how it happened!’

Seeing that they had yielded, Nie Yun stopped Xiaohu from rushing over to kill them. He gave a faint smile. "Didn’t you just say that you didn’t need me to concern myself?"

"We were wrong! We were blind not to see!"

Knowing they could no longer act tough, the two of them begged for mercy repeatedly.

’Besides, no one would laugh at us for submitting to a Peak Qi Sect Realm Demon Beast!’

"Huh?"

Seeing these two young masters, who had just been so insufferably arrogant and vowing to wipe out his family, now groveling on the ground like puppies, changing their tune faster than the weather, Nie Yun felt a little exasperated.

"Since you admit you were wrong, let’s discuss the matter of compensation." Knowing he had achieved the desired effect, Nie Yun had Xiaohu leave first.

’Even though these two were the ones who killed Xiaohu’s parents, I can’t kill them just yet. Who knows if they have some special way to notify their clan?’

’If the Luo Family finds out they died at the hands of the Nie Family, our family will be in real trouble.’

"Yes, yes!" Forcing themselves to endure the pain, they struggled to their feet. The two men cupped their fists toward the young man before them. "Since you are the disciple of that senior Ultimate Venerable, we’ll be frank with you. All the money and treasures we brought from our clan were... contributed to your master. We’re completely broke now and have nothing of value to offer. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have come to your family for so-called ’travel expenses’..."

"Completely broke? I doubt that!" Nie Yun had known all along they had no money; he never intended to extort any wealth from them when he demanded compensation. His eyes darted about as a smile spread across his face. "If you have no money, I can see you know quite a few Martial Arts. Leaving behind eight or ten Top-Grade Martial Arts from your Marquis Clan will do just fine!"

"Top-Grade Martial Arts from our Marquis Clan? Eight or ten of them?"

Hearing the young man’s words, the two were so furious they nearly died on the spot. ’Martial Arts of that caliber? We’re lucky if we each know one or two, and he wants eight or ten? Does he think they’re cabbages at the market that you can just grab by the handful?’

Despite being ready to die from anger, they didn’t dare show it. They could only put on a troubled expression and say, "These Martial Arts are our clan’s most vital secrets and are forbidden from being taught to outsiders. If our Clan Leader found out we had passed them on, I’m afraid..."

Generally, clans guard their Martial Arts jealously and rarely teach them to outsiders. One only had to look at how the Nie Family’s Primordial Yang Heart Technique was never shared to see that.

What they said was true, for the most part.

In truth, Nie Yun couldn’t care less about their Martial Arts. After all, his own knowledge of techniques far surpassed theirs.

The only reason he was demanding them was to give them to his clansmen for their Cultivation, thereby strengthening the family’s foundation.

For a clan to truly become great, the appearance of one or two powerhouses isn’t enough. The most crucial thing is to have a solid foundation: sufficient Heart Methods, sufficient Martial Arts, and sufficient people.

"You’re hesitating over a few Martial Arts from a Marquis Clan? In that case, I’ll just have to call my master’s Demon Pet back out..."

Seeing them hesitate, Nie Yun snorted coldly and turned as if to call for Xiaohu again.

"We’ll give them to you! We will!"

’No matter how strict the clan rules are, they’re not worth more than our own lives!’
