Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly and said, "You two are not bad, but you're still a bit too weak for me."
The elder chuckled: "Calling us weak, then why don't you show us some of your strength."
Ling Zhenfei nodded: "You're right, then take one of my punches."
As he spoke, he threw a punch from the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists towards the elder. The elder smiled slightly and also threw a punch. The force of the punches collided and remarkably, the elder successfully took Ling Zhenfei's punch.
Ling Zhenfei smiled: "Very well, now take my second punch."
As he spoke, the second punch aimed at the elder. But at this moment, Xiaogang rushed over and said, "I'll take this second punch."
This person overestimated his abilities, thinking that being at the Zhiyi Boundary was already very impressive.
The elder knew how formidable Ling Zhenfei was, but it was too late to stop Xiaogang. Ling Zhenfei's punch collided with Xiaogang's punch, and Xiaogang was sent flying.
Bang!
Xiaogang smashed the table with the map on it and lay on the ground, vomiting blood heavily, obviously severely injured.
One punch, just one punch, and now Ling Zhenfei, with just one punch, severely injured someone at the Late Stage of the Zhiyi Realm. This is the absolute strength of a master.
Ling Zhenfei is in the middle stage of the Dawen Realm, plus this second punch from the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists is much more powerful than the first punch that the elder took.
So Xiaogang couldn't withstand it and was severely injured by Ling Zhenfei's punch.
Seeing his disciple injured, the elder immediately became enraged and launched a barrage of punches towards Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei knew that anyone who reached the Dawen Realm had some skills. These people either had great talent or had experienced some fortuitous encounter.
Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly and said, "Overconfident, I don't think you can escape either."
As he spoke, Ling Zhenfei unleashed the third punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists. With each punch, the power increased, making this third punch four times more powerful than the first punch.
Ling Zhenfei's Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists derive from the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, with each punch being a divine skill that not everyone can block.
Although the elder was full of momentum due to his disciple being injured, after clashing with this third punch from Ling Zhenfei, he immediately realized something was wrong.
The entire person was forced back several steps by Ling Zhenfei's punch, struggling to suppress the churning blood and energy within his organs with his spiritual energy.
Ling Zhenfei sneered and did not hesitate. This time, he took the initiative to attack, delivering the fourth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists towards the elder. The elder now felt that each of Ling Zhenfei's punches was more powerful than the last.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei's active strike with the fourth punch, the elder naturally didn't want to take it head-on, so he quickly dodged. However, Ling Zhenfei's movement technique was swift, making it difficult to evade or block.
The elder dodged a few times, but Ling Zhenfei followed closely, preparing his punch with momentum, leaving no escape for the elder. The spiritual energy within the elder gathered continuously, channeling from the Dantian to his hands, almost mobilizing all his spiritual energy.
"Boy, I'll risk everything against you." The elder seemed to have mobilized all his spiritual energy and stopped dodging, directly throwing a punch towards Ling Zhenfei.
This was the strongest strike from a master of the Dawen Realm, almost condensing all the elder's spiritual energy.
For masters of the Dawen Realm, their spiritual energy should be activated instantly, but the instantly released spiritual energy is naturally limited. While dodging earlier, the elder almost mobilized all his spiritual energy to unleash this move.
Bang!
Ling Zhenfei also unleashed his fourth punch from the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists. While the elder was condensing spiritual energy earlier, Ling Zhenfei was also condensing spiritual energy, making this punch even more powerful than the fourth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists.
With this punch, the elder was directly sent flying, vomiting blood in midair and falling heavily to the ground.
Ling Zhenfei, possessing the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists and the Sky Piercing Finger, is almost invincible among those of the same realm, making the elder no match for Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly and said, "How about that? Aren't I very powerful? I told you long ago you're no match for me."
The elder struggled to sit up but was already seriously injured. He glanced at Ling Zhenfei, eyes full of fear.
Ling Zhenfei, seemingly only in his twenties, unexpectedly had such formidable strength. The elder was already over eighty, and only had his current strength because of a fortuitous encounter years ago.
If not for that encounter back then, the elder's talent might have only reached the Zhiyi Boundary at most. But now, reaching the Dawen Realm, he was considered a master among cultivators. However, he knew that although cultivators were rare in this world, there were many of them, just that some never reveal themselves.
There are many realms in cultivation. In the past, when spiritual energy was more abundant, being below the Zhiyi Boundary wasn't even considered a cultivator. Only upon reaching the Dawen Realm did one truly step upon the path of cultivation.
But the elder was already very formidable now, at least revered as the most recent elder in his locale. He hadn't expected to be beaten so miserably today by a young man barely in his twenties.
The elder said, "Not bad, you're indeed not bad."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "This is just okay. I've got plenty more skills. Otherwise, why don't I let you experience more of my power?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the elder. The elder, now severely injured, had no possibility of fighting back.
As Ling Zhenfei approached, the elder tried to resist, but the moment he moved, Ling Zhenfei seized his wrist and began using "Spiritual Energy Deprivation" to absorb the elder's spiritual energy.
In just a moment, the elder felt something was wrong. To a cultivator, the spiritual energy within oneself is more precious than anything else.
The spiritual energy in the air is dispersed, but the spiritual energy absorbed by a cultivator has been refined. Once cultivated, it becomes your own, and as you progress, you can elevate your realm.
Now that Ling Zhenfei was absorbing the elder's spiritual energy, it meant transferring the elder's spiritual energy to himself, causing the elder's spiritual energy to vanish, and naturally lowering his realm.
The elder's face displayed a pained expression. Finally, he seemed to understand why this young man, so tender in years, possessed such high power. It turned out he was using such a ruthless cultivation technique.
But now the elder could do nothing. It's important to note that using "Spiritual Energy Deprivation" requires complete suppression. For instance, it couldn't be used against the elder when he battled Ling Zhenfei earlier.
Because at that time, they were equally matched, making it impossible to use "Spiritual Energy Deprivation", but it could be used against Xiaogang.
However, Ling Zhenfei truly didn't value Xiaogang's spiritual energy.
So at this moment, Ling Zhenfei began absorbing the spiritual energy from the elder. This spiritual energy absorption greatly enhanced Ling Zhenfei's cultivation progress.
