My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

Even within the inner city, a faint tremor ran through the ground.

"ROAR—!!!"

"BELLOW—!!!"

Two distinct, yet equally soul-shaking, roars ripped through the sky. Even from such a great distance, their immense might was enough to make one’s Qi and Blood churn.

That was the City Lord of Bibo City, engaging two Tier Six Demon Beasts at once!

Just then, a voice boomed from the direction of the outer city wall, its sound shaking the entirety of Bibo City.

"The Outer City has fallen! All Martial Artists, fall back to the inner city!"

Ye Zhiqiu grabbed Liang Cheng. "Let’s go! The inner city defense line can’t be allowed to fall!"

The two of them rushed out of Tingtai Courtyard into a scene of utter chaos.

The sounds of screams and shouted orders filled the air.

In the sky, the luminous barrier of the City Defense Array flickered violently as it withstood the onslaught of the Fierce Beasts.

The inner city walls were taller and thicker than the outer ones. At this moment, the tops of the walls were crowded with Martial Artists and garrison soldiers, every one of them with a tense expression.

The Ye Family, the Xiao Family, the Yang Family...

The elite disciples and private armies of all of Bibo City’s great families were gathered here, all clan divisions forgotten.

Venerable elders like Old Master Ye, Patriarch Xiao, and Patriarch Yang now stood at the highest point of the inner city, personally directing the defense.

"Liang Cheng, Zhiqiu, you two head for the eastern wall of the inner city!"

Old Master Ye’s voice, carried by his True Gang, was clear and powerful. "The pressure is heavy there. Be careful!"

"Yes, sir!"

Without a moment’s hesitation, the pair shot off like lightning toward the East Segment of the wall. Out of the corner of his eye, Liang Cheng spotted Yang Chen, who had spoken so rudely during the earlier celebration.

With the entire city in crisis, the Yang Family had dragged him out of the solitary confinement he was supposed to be in.

Liang Cheng instantly put it out of his mind and followed Ye Zhiqiu toward the eastern wall of the inner city.

They hadn’t even arrived yet, but the foul stench of the Beast Tide was already washing over them!

Countless Fierce Beasts, like a black tide, poured over the ruins of the Outer City and swarmed toward the inner city walls!

Bone Spike Arrowfish, Ironclaw Crabs, Ghost Shadow Jellyfish...

Mixed in among them were numerous Tier Three and Tier Four Fierce Beast commanders. One could even glimpse the massive figures of several Tier Five Peak Fierce Beasts lurking in the rear of the Beast Tide.

"Kill!"

The defending Martial Artists’ eyes were bloodshot. Arrows, boulders, and flaming oil rained down. Flares of True Qi and Gang Qi of every color lit up, colliding with the charging Fierce Beasts and instantly sending flesh and blood flying!

The moment Liang Cheng and Ye Zhiqiu set foot on the East Segment of the wall, three Tier Three Demon Beasts leaped up, their dorsal fins spinning like sharp blades, slicing through the air as they slashed down viciously!

Liang Cheng stepped forward, making no move to dodge or evade. His Zhenxian Saber flew from its sheath as he unleashed a strike from his Mountain-Breaking Saber technique!

’This Beast Tide is a crisis, but as long as I’m not in immediate peril, it’s also an opportunity. If I can achieve a breakthrough with my Mountain-Breaking Saber, my strength will advance another step.’

Mixed Element Gang Body!

His Protective Gang Qi, at the Great Success Realm, activated automatically. A pale golden Gang Shield enveloped his entire body, its surface faintly shimmering with ancient patterns.

"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"

Three fin-blades, sharp enough to slice through metal, struck solidly against Liang Cheng’s Protective Gang Shield, creating a series of deep thuds.

The Gang Shield pulsed violently, golden light swirling across its surface, yet it remained impregnable!

The three attacks had merely left three faint white marks on the surface of his Mixed Element Gang Body’s shield, which then healed in an instant.

"What?!"

"That defense..."

Several nearby Martial Artists, who were in the middle of their own desperate struggles, glanced over and their eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

Liang Cheng’s expression was impassive, his Saber Momentum undiminished, as the vast True Essence in his body surged.

[Mountain-Breaking Saber]!

Ever forward!

To sunder a mountain!

Even Ye Zhiqiu couldn’t help but glance over. ’Master was right,’ she thought. ’Junior Brother’s aptitude is truly astonishing. His Mountain-Breaking Saber can be described as Entering the Hall and the Room.’

"BAM!"

"BAM!"

"BAM!"

With three slashes, the heads of the three ferocious Tier Four Blade Fin Sharks exploded!

Their massive bodies were sent flying, crashing down into the horde of beasts below.

It was a clean, devastating display of power!

"Senior Brother Liang is incredible!"

The spirits of the surrounding Martial Artists soared as the pressure on them lightened, and they couldn’t help but shout in acclaim.

Ye Zhiqiu didn’t dare to lag behind. Her longsword left its sheath, and with a flash of True Gang, she annihilated several Fierce Beasts charging from the other side.

In an instant, the battle became white-hot.

With the Outer City breached, the Fierce Beasts were completely unopposed, and they frantically assaulted the inner city’s defense line.

Although the walls were sturdy and protected by the City Defense Array, the sheer number of Fierce Beasts was overwhelming. High Tier Fierce Beasts were mixed in their ranks, and sections of the wall were constantly being breached. Beasts leaped onto the battlements, engaging the garrison in close-quarters combat.

The entire inner city was quickly broken up into countless smaller battlegrounds.

Fierce battles could break out on any street, in any courtyard.

The East Segment, where Liang Cheng was stationed, was under immense pressure.

But he stood like a rock, rooted to the very front of the defense line. After his Mixed Element Gang Body reached Great Success, his defensive power had taken a qualitative leap.

He could essentially ignore the attacks of Tier Three Fierce Beasts; even the strikes of Tier Four Fierce Beasts were of little concern.

This situation allowed him to completely unleash his offense!

[Mountain-Breaking Saber]

Once the saber is drawn, there is no retreat, only the enemy—no self!

To cut down everything!

As he continued to battle the Demon Beasts, he was no longer bound by rigid stances; his saber moved with his body, his will and the blade becoming one.

He unleashed a brutal slash that cleaved a Tier Three Ironclaw Crab in two, shell and all. With a backhanded flick, an arc of Saber Qi shredded three Bone Spike Arrowfish that were pouncing from mid-air!

He periodically charged forward, his Saber Momentum like a landslide, forcefully cleaving into a Tier Four Siege Turtle that was trying to ram the wall, sending it staggering backward with a cracked shell!

[Mountain-Breaking Saber: Beginner Level (3988/5000) → (4211/5000)...]

Real combat was the best teacher.

The progress of his Mountain-Breaking Saber was increasing at an insane and unprecedented rate.

Liang Cheng was bathed in blood, but his eyes grew ever brighter. His Saber Technique became more and more refined, and its power grew ever more terrifying.

The area around him had become a small meat grinder. He single-handedly held down nearly ten zhang of the East Segment’s defensive line, relieving the immense pressure on the Martial Artists to either side of him.

"Follow Young Hero Liang! Kill!"

The morale of the Martial Artists beside him surged. Forming a Battle Array with him at its core, they actually began to push back on a small scale!

"ROAR!"

From the rear of the Beast Tide, an enraged roar echoed. A massive black shadow parted the horde and came crashing forward!

A Tier Five Middle Stage Fierce Beast!

This Fierce Beast was covered in scales that looked like black ice, and it spewed frigid air from its mouth.

A Profound Ice Crocodile Dragon!

It had clearly noticed Liang Cheng, this tough nail that was holding up the line.

"Perfect timing!"

Far from feeling any fear, Liang Cheng’s eyes blazed with a fierce will to fight.

’You’re the perfect opponent to sharpen my saber on!’

He let out a long cry, taking the initiative to leap from the top of the wall and charge toward the Profound Ice Crocodile Dragon!

"Junior Brother Liang!"

Ye Zhiqiu cried out in alarm. It was too late to stop him, so she quickly followed.

Shrouded in his pale golden Gang Shield, Liang Cheng shot forward like a golden meteor and smashed violently into the Profound Ice Crocodile Dragon with its icy breath!

"Break!"
