My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

Lost Soul Valley.

"Elder Huang! It’s your turn to act!!"

Qian Wanjing’s hoarse roar echoed through the valley.

Liang Cheng’s steps faltered, and alarm bells screamed in his mind.

’Elder Huang?’

’How is that possible?’

The next moment, the Situ Family’s Honored Guest Elder, Huang Tiancheng, appeared before him!

Liang Cheng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. ’So it’s *this* Elder Huang!’

’He scared me for a second!’

But his heart immediately leaped back into his throat. No matter who it was, the man was a Breaking Mortality Core Formation Realm expert. He was no match at all!

In that very instant—

"BOOM—!"

A pressure far more vast and immense than any at the True Gang Realm erupted from the deepest, densest miasma at the bottom of the valley, soaring into the sky!

Outside the barrier, however, there was no sign of activity. Everything was contained within it, unknown to the outside world.

Huang Tiancheng was dressed in a gray robe, his face grim and sinister. The killing intent in his eyes was so thick it felt tangible. As he walked forward slowly, even the air seemed to freeze in his wake.

The pressure was unlike anything Liang Cheng had ever felt!

"Liang Cheng."

Huang Tiancheng spoke, his voice ice-cold.

"In the Secret Realm, when Situ Ming died, did he leave any last words?"

’Situ Ming?’

Liang Cheng took a deep breath. ’It seems Situ Ming had some special method on him that exposed me.’

The remaining Gang Qi in his body circulated frantically. He pushed his Mixed Element Gang Body to its absolute limit, a faint golden Glazed Light Membrane flickering beneath his skin.

He tightened his grip on the Zhenxian Saber, and its blade hummed.

"Those who kill will always be killed."

Liang Cheng looked Huang Tiancheng straight in the eye, offering no excuses. "Situ Ming tried to kill me for my treasure. His skills were inferior. Life and death are ruled by fate."

"A fine ’life and death are ruled by fate’!"

Hearing this, Huang Tiancheng laughed in extreme anger, a chilling, sinister sound.

"Then when I kill you today, it will also be because your skills are inferior, and your death will be well-deserved!"

Liang Cheng couldn’t help but retort.

"It’s just a case of the strong bullying the weak. To say my death is ’well-deserved’—isn’t that ridiculous?"

Before Liang Cheng’s voice had even faded, Huang Tiancheng moved.

He didn’t build up power, nor did he make any flashy moves. He simply took a single step forward.

But with that one step, he crossed a distance of thirty zhang in an instant!

Then, he struck out with his palm.

No Pill Qi was visible from his palm, yet a violent crackling sound erupted from the air in its path!

The Core Formation Realm. It was a state where True Gang condensed into a Pill, allowing one to Break Mortality and transcend. One resonated with the heavens and earth, dancing with Spiritual Qi. Every move held the might of the world itself!

Faced with Huang Tiancheng’s palm strike, which seemed slow, Liang Cheng found all his escape routes had been sealed.

’I can only take it head-on!’

A fierce light flashed in Liang Cheng’s eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced!

Nine Heavens Mountain-Breaking Saber!

Mountain-Breaking!

Within his Dantian, nine Gang Qi Seeds spun wildly, squeezing out their last dregs of power.

The Zhenxian Saber let out a long, clear cry as the azure Gang Qi enveloping its blade surged. With a great sound of wind and thunder, he slashed out fiercely!

The saber and palm collided.

There was no explosive crash, only a muffled thud.

Liang Cheng instantly felt an irresistible, immense force travel up the blade. The Zhenxian Saber trembled violently, nearly flying from his grasp!

He was sent flying backward as if struck by a mountain, slamming hard against the rock wall behind him!

"BOOM!"

The rock wall fractured, sending stone fragments flying.

Liang Cheng let out a muffled grunt as a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.

With a single exchange, the difference in their strength was obvious!

"Oh?"

A trace of surprise flashed through Huang Tiancheng’s eyes.

Although he hadn’t used his full strength in that strike, he had used sixty percent of his power. An ordinary True Gang Realm cultivator would have been long dead, their body and soul obliterated.

’This Liang Cheng actually blocked my strike!’

"What a tough Protective Divine Skill."

Huang Tiancheng’s gaze fell upon the faint golden light flowing beneath Liang Cheng’s skin. "No wonder you were able to kill my son in the Secret Realm."

He stepped forward slowly, his tone flat, but his killing intent was chilling.

"A pity. In the face of an absolute gap in power, even the strongest Protective Divine Skill will only slow your death."

In the distance, Qian Wanjing laughed maniacally.

"Elder Huang! Kill him! Kill him now!"

Liang Cheng used his saber to prop himself up, struggling to his feet.

The Gang Qi in his body was nearly depleted, and sharp pains shot through his meridians, but his eyes remained calm. A slight curve even touched the corners of his lips.

’The Core Formation Realm is as strong as they say.’

’But that strike... Huang Tiancheng isn’t as overwhelmingly strong as I imagined!’

From this, he saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

’But I need to stall for time.’

"I killed your son? What do you mean by that? Are you saying Situ Ming was your own flesh and blood? If so, doesn’t that make your so-called ’Unparalleled Loyalty and Righteousness’ a complete joke?"

Then he threw his head back and laughed, reaching into his robes to pull out two elixirs for restoring Gang Qi, which he promptly swallowed.

The elixirs dissolved, and a warm current flowed into his Dantian. The Crossing the Sea True Intent Fragment began to circulate wildly, rapidly digesting the medicine and replenishing his empty reserves of Gang Qi.

Hearing Liang Cheng’s taunt, Huang Tiancheng’s face instantly turned ashen!

"You sharp-tongued little bastard!"

The killing intent in Huang Tiancheng’s eyes surged.

"I was going to give you a quick death. Now, I will shatter every bone in your body, inch by inch, leaving you in a state where you can neither live nor die!"

Then, without another word, his figure suddenly blurred!

This time, he was thirty percent faster than before!

Liang Cheng’s pupils contracted. He couldn’t see Huang Tiancheng’s movements at all, but he subconsciously pushed his Wandering Dragon Step to its limit, dodging sharply to the right!

"BANG!"

The spot where he had just been standing silently collapsed, forming a deep, palm-shaped crater.

But Huang Tiancheng’s figure, like a phantom, had already appeared in his path of retreat!

’He’s like a shadow!’

’Is this the so-called precognition of a Breaking Mortality Core Formation expert?’

"Kneel for me!"

Huang Tiancheng formed his five fingers into a claw. Grayish-black Pill Qi swirled around his fingertips as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi resonated, and he clawed down with a piercing, air-tearing shriek!

Profound Yin Claw·Soul Splitting!

Before the claw even arrived, a bone-chilling, cold pressure that seemed to pierce straight through his Divine Soul already made Liang Cheng’s scalp tingle with fear!

’I can’t dodge this!’

Bloodshot veins appeared in Liang Cheng’s eyes. With a roar, he gave up any thought of dodging and swung the Zhenxian Saber in an upward slash!
