Chapter 153: A High-Rank Martial Artist Blocks the Way
Seeing the two men rushing toward him, Chen Qingdi remained completely unfazed, not giving them a second thought.
In Chen Qingdi’s eyes, dealing with them couldn’t be easier.
As the two men charged, Chen Qingdi lightly flicked two fingers forward.
Two streams of Qi Strength shot directly into their bodies.
THUD! THUD!
The two men collapsed instantly. Before Chen Qingdi, they were utterly powerless to retaliate.
"You think you can be my enemies? Dream on."
Chen Qingdi shot them a disdainful glance, then ignored them and swaggered into the Martial Medicine Association.
Once inside, he quickly drew the attention of several early-stage Guiyuan Realm masters from the Martial Medicine Association.
They quickly surrounded Chen Qingdi.
"I swear, are you guys ever going to stop?"
Chen Qingdi said, exasperated.
"You’ve got some nerve, coming to our Martial Medicine Association to cause trouble."
"Do you really think the Martial Medicine Association is a pushover?"
the leader said with immense coldness.
"You’re the ones who told me to come, and you’re the ones who are stopping me, insisting on a fight. Now you’re accusing me of causing trouble?"
"Do you people have any sense of reason at all?"
"I’m here to find my friends, Gong Liangbu and Nie Xing. Where are they?"
Chen Qingdi asked directly.
But the man’s face remained icy, showing no desire to answer the question.
"Fine. If you won’t tell me, I’ll just find them myself."
With that, Chen Qingdi walked straight forward.
But the men forcefully blocked his path.
"I don’t have time to waste on you people."
"Get out of my way. Now."
Chen Qingdi said, his voice ice-cold.
"Do you have any idea who I am? I am a high-ranking Martial Artist of the Martial Medicine Association, Liu Xingyun."
"Gong Liangbu is indeed a member of our Martial Medicine Association, but he made a mistake and has been locked away in the dungeons."
"If you want to get him out, I’m afraid that’s impossible."
"If you leave the Martial Medicine Association obediently right now, we’ll pretend we never saw you."
"But if you continue to be so obstinate, don’t blame us for what happens next."
Liu Xingyun said coldly.
"But a man named Si Ming told me to come here."
"Si Ming, right? Tell him to come out. Whatever he has to say, he can say it to my face."
"Don’t tell me he’s hiding in the shadows, too scared to show himself."
Chen Qingdi shouted, looking around.
However, the man from Di Lin Hall named Si Ming did not appear.
However, Chen Qingdi could sense a powerful aura within the Martial Medicine Association—it had to be Si Ming. He was definitely watching this scene from some hidden corner nearby.
He would surely make a move when the time was right.
Seeing that Chen Qingdi wasn’t taking them seriously at all, Liu Xingyun grew angry. "First, set up a Martial Artist Barrier and trap this kid inside."
"Yes, sir."
The other members of the Martial Medicine Association nodded in unison.
Then, they worked together to form a barrier made of Qi Strength.
To put it bluntly, this kind of barrier was just a net formed by intertwining Qi Strength, and it could actually be broken quite easily.
Even so, an ordinary Martial Artist would find it very difficult to escape if trapped inside.
Yet Chen Qingdi, now trapped within this thin Qi Barrier, appeared completely composed, showing no signs of panic.
"You’re not scared at all?"
one of the men asked, looking at Chen Qingdi.
"What’s there to be scared of?"
"I can get out in a moment," Chen Qingdi said.
"Get out in a moment? You’re all talk."
"If you can get out within half an hour, I’ll personally take you to see Lord Si Ming."
Liu Xingyun said to Chen Qingdi.
"All right. You said it, not me."
Chen Qingdi stared at Liu Xingyun.
"That’s right, I said it."
Liu Xingyun was full of arrogance, certain that Chen Qingdi couldn’t possibly break out of the Qi Barrier within half an hour.
Chen Qingdi, however, remained unfazed.
He was rather curious to see just who this Si Ming person was.
"May I ask, what is your relationship with Di Lin Hall?"
"Why do you obey Si Ming’s orders?"
Chen Qingdi asked quietly.
"Lord Si Ming is actually the Vice President of our Martial Medicine Association. At the same time, he is one of the Ten Great Divine Envoys of Di Lin Hall."
Liu Xingyun explained.
"I see."
Chen Qingdi finally understood.
’Looks like this Si Ming is no simple character, being both the Vice President of the Martial Medicine Association and a Divine Envoy of Di Lin Hall.’
"But I really don’t understand. Why capture my brothers just to deal with me?"
"If he has a problem, he should have just come for me directly."
Chen Qingdi said.
"I wouldn’t dare presume to know the Lord’s thoughts."
"If you have the skill, break out of this barrier and ask Lord Si Ming yourself."
Liu Xingyun said.
After speaking, Liu Xingyun stared coldly at Chen Qingdi.
Chen Qingdi looked completely unconcerned.
Chen Qingdi glanced at the surrounding layer of Qi, then suddenly swung his hand forward.
BOOM!
The barrier shook violently, looking as if it were about to shatter.
This terrified Liu Xingyun.
"That scared me to death! I thought you were about to destroy the barrier."
"It took several of us to forcefully erect it, after all."
"If you shattered it that easily, we would lose so much face."
Liu Xingyun said.
"If I had wanted to break it, I could have gotten out just now."
"I just wanted to see your reaction."
Chen Qingdi said with a smile.
"Is that so?"
"I don’t believe you."
"If you’re so capable, then get out now."
"Stop your empty boasting."
Liu Xingyun said coldly.
"Hmph! Who’s boasting?"
"Since you’re so eager to see me break free, then I’ll oblige."
Chen Qingdi gave a faint smile.
Then, Chen Qingdi suddenly swung his hand forward again.
The entire barrier, like a sheet of thin paper, was instantly shattered by his palm.
Seeing this, Liu Xingyun was utterly stunned.
So Chen Qingdi really could shatter the barrier with ease.
This guy was on another level.
Liu Xingyun realized that even if he called for several more high-ranking Martial Artists from the Martial Medicine Association, they would still be no match for Chen Qingdi.
"You’re impressive. Come with me."
Liu Xingyun said after a moment.
"You should have done this from the start. I’m the one you were after anyway. Why go through all this pointless trouble?"
Chen Qingdi said, exasperated.
"We had no choice. Those were our orders from above on how to deal with you."
"Try to understand. In any case, I don’t want to make an enemy of someone like you."
"My hands were tied. I hope we can be friends in the future."
Liu Xingyun said with a wry smile.
