My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

Leng Feng was silent, sitting with his sword in his arms.

Suddenly, the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle shuddered violently!

Liang Cheng’s eyes snapped open, and he shot to his feet.

Outside the cabin, a streak of light shot over and blocked the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle’s path, forcing him to a halt.

It was a black Dharma Ship, a size larger than the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle. Its hull was covered in blood-red runes, emanating a grim aura.

The Dharma Ship’s cabin door opened, and five figures filed out, standing poised in mid-air.

The leader, a man of about thirty-seven or thirty-eight, was dressed in a Blood Robe. His face was sinister, and his aura was sharp and cutting—he was clearly a Core Formation and Breaking Mortality powerhouse.

The four men behind him were also Core Formation powerhouses. They stood with their arms crossed, smirking at Liang Cheng’s Cloud-Piercing Shuttle.

"Liang Cheng?"

The middle-aged man in the Blood Robe spoke. His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried clearly into the cabin.

Liang Cheng stepped out of the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle and stood poised in mid-air.

"I am."

The man in the Blood Robe looked him up and down for a moment, then sneered.

"I thought you’d be some kind of monster with three heads and six arms. Turns out you’re nothing special."

The four men behind him broke into laughter.

"This guy? He dared to make Senior Brother Han’s follower, Zhou Yuan, kneel?"

"I think Zhou Yuan was just too useless. He lost face for the Sect and broke the established rules."

"Senior Brother, why don’t we just make a move? Teach him that you have to consider the master before you beat the dog. Newcomers need to learn some rules."

Hearing this, Liang Cheng’s expression remained calm. He looked at the middle-aged man in the Blood Robe and asked,

"Who are you?"

The smile vanished from the face of the man in the Blood Robe.

"From the Second Peak, Han Cheng."

He stared at Liang Cheng, a vicious glint in his eyes.

"I hear you’ve been making quite a name for yourself. You just joined the Sect, yet with your Core Formation cultivation, you’ve single-handedly suppressed all those losers in the Outer Sect to the point they can’t even raise their heads."

"Zhou Yuan is my man. For you to be so arrogant... well, you have to consider the master before you beat the dog. I’ll have to teach you how to respect your seniors."

Liang Cheng looked at him.

"So you’re here to teach me?"

Han Cheng scoffed.

"That’s right."

"I won’t bully you. Let’s have a match."

"If you lose, you’ll take a detour whenever you see me from now on. And you’ll go to the Outer Sect to apologize to Zhou Yuan. Tell him you didn’t know he was my man."

"If I lose—"

He paused, a playful smile on his face.

"I can’t lose."

As soon as the words fell, the aura around Han Cheng erupted!

He raised his hand and grasped, and an Eight-foot Blood Spear materialized from thin air. The spear’s shaft was dark red, covered in strange runes, and its tip glinted with a grim, bloody light.

The pressure of a Core Formation and Breaking Mortality powerhouse felt tangible, pressing down on the sea within a thousand-foot radius until it caved in, forming a massive whirlpool.

The four men behind him simultaneously retreated a thousand feet, crossing their arms to watch the fight with mocking expressions.

"Senior Brother Han’s Blood Evil Spear technique has improved again."

"That kid probably won’t last three moves."

"Three moves? I’d bet on one."

Liang Cheng hovered in mid-air, his expression unchanged.

He raised a hand to the hilt of his saber.

Seeing his overconfidence, Han Cheng’s sneer deepened.

"Not making the first move?"

"Then don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!"

He took a step forward, his long spear striking like a dragon!

Blood Evil Spear: Sun Piercer!

With a single thrust, the spear’s aura transformed into a hundred-foot-long streak of blood-red light that tore through the sky, aiming straight for Liang Cheng’s throat!

Before the spear even arrived, the sharp wind it generated had already carved a deep trench into the sea a thousand feet behind Liang Cheng.

Only then did Liang Cheng finally move.

He sidestepped the thrust.

The spearhead grazed past his chest, the force of the wind tearing his robes.

Han Cheng’s thrust missed. With a flick of his wrist, he swept the spear horizontally!

Blood Evil Spear: Sweeping Thousand Soldiers!

The sweep carried immense force, causing the air to crackle and pop!

Liang Cheng still did not draw his saber.

With a light tap of his feet, he executed the Cloud Soaring Step. He was like a willow catkin in the wind, gracefully drifting back thirty feet as the spearhead grazed the tip of his nose.

The residual Pill Force was not enough to break through the Protective Pill Qi of Liang Cheng’s Mixed Element Gang Body.

With two of his attacks missing, Han Cheng’s face darkened.

"Is dodging all you can do?"

His spear technique shifted, and his assault became as ferocious as a raging storm.

Blood Evil Spear: Night Parade of Hundred Demons!

In an instant, the sky filled with countless spear shadows.

Each shadow was as solid as the real thing, carrying a ghastly demonic aura as they converged on Liang Cheng from all directions.

The sky for a thousand feet around was completely engulfed by the spear shadows.

There was no escape!

At this moment, Liang Cheng finally drew his saber.

The instant the saber’s light flashed, a frigid Blade Intent erupted from him.

No probing, just a full-power attack!

Nine Heavens Mountain-Breaking Saber: Broken River!

With one slash, a Sword Aura swept out like a furious tide. The moment the spear shadows touched it, they melted away like snow under a scorching sun.

The sky full of spear shadows was shattered by a single strike!

Han Cheng’s pupils contracted. Before he could react, the Sword Aura was already upon him!

He desperately circulated his Pill Qi and raised his spear to block!

CLANG—!!!

Saber and spear collided, sending sparks flying!

A violent shockwave swept outwards, and the sea below exploded, sending up monstrous waves hundreds of feet high!

Han Cheng grunted, sent flying a hundred feet back with his spear. The web of his thumb split open, and blood streamed down his arm.

He looked down at the Blood Spear in his hand.

A deep, shocking gash was carved into the spear’s shaft.

"Blade Intent..."

He looked up, staring fixedly at Liang Cheng, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You’ve actually condensed Blade Intent?!"

Liang Cheng didn’t answer.

He simply stood poised in mid-air, saber in hand, watching Han Cheng.

"Is that all you’ve got?"

Hearing this, Han Cheng’s face turned ashen.

He took a deep breath, gripped the spear with both hands, and the bloody aura around him surged even more violently!

"Blood Evil Spear: Celestial Net!"

This move was ten times stronger than the last!

He thrust his spear, and its aura split into thousands of threads, weaving together into a giant, blood-red net that descended from the sky to envelop Liang Cheng!

Wherever the net of spear-light passed, the very air was sliced to ribbons!

Watching this, a hint of seriousness finally flashed in Liang Cheng’s eyes.

He gripped his saber with both hands, and the True Pill within him began to spin wildly!

Two streams of Pill Qi, one ice-blue and one fiery-red, intertwined and poured into the body of the saber!

In his Sea of Consciousness, the golden ocean churned with violent waves, and the Ling Frost Short Sword trembled slightly!

Blade Intent, unleashed at full power!

Nine Heavens Mountain-Breaking Saber: Broken Nine Heavens!

He slashed.

There was no overwhelming Sword Aura, no earth-shattering explosion.

There was only a single, perfectly condensed ray of saber light, like the first glimmer of dawn at the creation of the world, slicing toward the Celestial Net.

Wherever the ray of light passed, the blood-red spear net silently annihilated.

Within a single breath, all the spear shadows in the sky vanished completely!

The ray of light continued on, its momentum unbroken, and slashed straight at Han Cheng!

Han Cheng’s pupils shrank.

He desperately circulated his Pill Qi and raised his spear to block again!

CLANG—!!!

The spear shaft snapped in two.

The ray of light struck his body!

SPURT—!!!

Han Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell from the sky like a meteorite, crashing into the surface of the sea!

BOOM!!!

The sea exploded, throwing up a wave a thousand feet high!

After the great wave subsided, Han Cheng floated on the sea, drenched in blood. A saber wound ran from his collarbone to his abdomen, so deep that the bone was visible.

He struggled to get up, only to find he couldn’t even move.

The two halves of the broken Blood Spear floated beside him, the runes on its shaft now completely dim.

His four followers were frozen in place, their faces pale, unable to believe what they were seeing.

One strike.

Still just one strike.

But this strike was more than ten times stronger than the last!

Liang Cheng sheathed his saber. He stood poised in the air, looking down at Han Cheng on the sea’s surface.

"You lose."

Han Cheng’s lips trembled, but he couldn’t utter a single word.

He tried to speak, but only coughed up a mouthful of bloody foam.

Liang Cheng didn’t look at him again.

He turned, his gaze falling on the four followers.

The four of them shuddered under his gaze and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Do you want to try, too?"

The four shook their heads frantically.

"N-no, no..."

"Senior Brother Liang, your divine might is invincible! How would we dare...?"

"We were just passing by, just passing by..."

Liang Cheng ignored them and stepped back into the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle.

The cabin door closed, and the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the sky and vanishing.

All that remained was the damaged black Dharma Ship and five disciples with ashen faces.

After a long silence, someone finally spoke with a trembling voice:

"Senior Brother Han..."

Han Cheng lay on the sea, staring in the direction the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle had disappeared, his eyes filled with shock.

’Blade Intent... True Pill... He’s actually a True Pill Powerhouse...’

"Gu Changge!"

"You dared to lie to me! To hide such crucial information!"

"Let’s go! Back!"

"We’re going to settle the score with Gu Changge!"

He was clumsily hauled onto the Dharma Ship by the four men, and the broken spear was retrieved as well.

The black Dharma Ship wobbled into the air and fled back the way it came.
