Under the enhancent of the "Bursting Qi Pill" and secret technique, He Xiaobao's punch was comparable to a hit from soone in the Postnatal Qi Transformation Realm.
Boom!
The spinning millstone-like punch energy streak cut a trench, with rolling stone debris and dust, thunderously enveloping Chen Yu.
The mighty power of this strike was enough to instantly kill any diocre disciple in the Organ Refining Stage.
"Clashing now!"
"How can He Xiaobao be so strong?"
Near Chen Yu's courtyard, so Fu Family's Disciples were secretly paying attention to this battle.
"Hmph! These He Brothers clearly have the suspicion of cheating."
So perceptive individuals imdiately spotted the oddity.
Using secret elixirs to boost strength in a formal challenge was inherently against the rules.
"Yet, if He Xiaobao severely injures Chen Yu, leaving him bedridden for a half-month, even if the challenge is against the rules, that position will fall into He Xiaobao's hands."
So clan disciples furrowed their brows.
Clearly, the He Brothers had a sinister plan and had calculated their move in advance.
"He's hit!"
At that mont, soone exclaid with shock.
Boom!
The light grey punch energy, like thousands of pounds of giant stones, ruthlessly blasted Chen Yu.
"Victory!"
He Dabao, who was watching from the side, revealed a cruel, cold smile.
He Xiaobao's strike was powerful enough to send soone below the Qi Transformation Realm flying with severe injuries, with healing unlikely within one or two months.
However.
After the punch landed on its target, there was neither the anticipated scream of agony nor the scene of blood splattering.
In the dust, one could vaguely see an unmoving, tall figure.
He Dabao's expression drastically changed, just about to give a warning.
"You dare!"
An explosion rang in his ears, as if there was the sound of a thunderbolt on a clear day.
He Dabao, a Qi Transformation Postnatal cultivator, staggered, blood roiled within him, feeling a sense of dizziness.
He silently cursed the situation.
"Ah!"
He Xiaobao let out a sharp, agonized scream, his body flying backwards.
The onlooking crowd seed to hear the roaring of a thunderous lion, only to see a greyish wave of sound energy rolling over, covering half of the courtyard.
Thump!
He Xiaobao crashed to the ground, bleeding from seven orifices, and his eyes shut, fainting.
"Xiaobao!"
He Dabao roared in alarm, rushing to He Xiaobao's side.
He Xiaobao's face was a mix of purple and green, bathed in blood. With many of his ridians broken and his inner breath in disarray, he was almost at death's door.
"Quick, call Pharmacist Xu!"
He Dabao scread at the top of his lungs, eyes bloodshot with a glint of furious intent to kill, glancing over Chen Yu.
But.
He had no ti to seek revenge on Chen Yu right then, quickly feeding a lifesaving precious elixir to his brother and using True Qi to stabilize the chaotic inner breath inside his brother's body.
"Hmm?"
Chen Yu appeared surprised.
He had held back on his "Copper Lion Roar", not using his full strength.
Just that he hadn't anticipated.
That the opponent would be so "fragile", nearly exploding and dying from the blow.
Upon further thought, Chen Yu quickly understood.
He Xiaobao's combat strength, although comparable to the Postnatal Qi Transformation Realm, still had the fundantal physical condition of the Organ Refining Stage.
Chen Yu had expected this and hadn't used his full power with "Copper Lion Roar".
However.
Chen Yu had overlooked He Xiaobao's actual situation.
Having taken the "Bursting Qi Pill" and used secret techniques to stimulate his inner breath, he was inherently unstable and dangerously volatile.
As a result.
Chen Yu's "Copper Lion Roar" had caused He Xiaobao's inner breath to collapse and beco disordered, triggering a backlash.
That He Xiaobao didn't explode and die was considered lucky.
After a mont.
"Pharmacist Xu is here!"
Several Fu Family's Disciples were escorting an elderly man who had lived past seventy.
Pharmacist Xu was a first-level Guest Elder of the Fu Family, skilled in alchemy and dical techniques.
"Oh! It's very dangerous; it was nearly fatal. This child's internal ridians are mostly broken, and his organs are nearly shattered. Without half a year's ti, recovery will be difficult,"
Pharmacist Xu sighed deeply.
This outco left the Fu Family's Disciples at the scene looking at each other.
The He Brothers had intended to have Chen Yu bedridden for two months but ended up suffering the consequences themselves.
"Pharmacist Xu, will my brother's cultivation future be affected?"
He Dabao's face was ashen, struggling to contain his rage and murderous intent.
"He's lucky to be alive!"
"Optimistically, even if the injury is healed, at most two to three tenths of his cultivation could be retained. I'm afraid he'll never reach the Qi Transformation Realm for the rest of his life."
Pharmacist Xu couldn't help but shake his head.
Hearing this.
He Dabao was burning with anger, roaring furiously, his eyes reddening with veins of blood, a murderous intent becoming evident as he locked his gaze on Chen Yu.
"Boy! How will you pay for crippling my brother?"
He Dabao growled, his body emitting a turbulent postnatal True Qi wave, the surrounding energy undulating with an astonishing aura.
"You've reaped what you sowed."
Chen Yu remained unflappable, speaking lightly.
He was about to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm and rather hoped that He Dabao would strike, to finish him off as well, avoiding further trouble.
"Court death!"
This He Dabao, in a fury, spread open a single claw, a heavy sensation filling the surroundings as a somber rock-colored sphere of True Qi whirled, filling the area with a fearso heaviness.
"Stop!"
A stern and cold grunt ca through.
A linen-robed elder, who was past sixty, surrounded by a dim layer of True Qi, floated across dozens of feet in the air and gently landed.
"Uncle Lin!"
Several Fu Family's Disciples imdiately paid their respects.
Seeing Uncle Lin arrive, Chen Yu couldn't help but show a hint of disappointnt.
Next.
As Chen Yu expected, He Dabao played the villain and lodged the complaint first, bitterly describing how Chen Yu crippled his brother He Xiaobao, with ruthless thods and so on.
Added to the sight of He Xiaobao, blood streaming from his seven orifices and barely clinging to life, it really was a heartbreaking and sympathetic sight.
At first hearing, Uncle Lin's expression turned dark, his face filled with anger.
However.
Throughout the process, Chen Yu's face was expressionless, silent, with a hint of mockery on his lips.
Uncle Lin revealed a hint of a different color, "Guest Chen, do you have anything to say?"
"Just now, everyone here saw what happened."
"Before I even had the chance to 'make a move,' with just a loud shout, He Xiaobao collapsed on his own, blood streaming from his seven orifices."
After saying this, Chen Yu's gaze swept over the surrounding Fu Family's Disciples.
"That's right, it was indeed so."
Those Fu Family's Disciples who were watching the fight were slightly taken aback and then nodded their heads.
The He Brothers were not kind, always bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Therefore, no one intentionally covered for them.
"This is not crippling him! It's clearly a fra-up."
Chen Yu shook his head and sighed.
A fra-up?
The many Fu Family's Disciples present nearly dropped their jaws.
Uncle Lin, too, wore a stunned expression.
And He Dabao, seething with rage, nearly sprung into action.
Uncle Lin slightly raised his hand to stop He Dabao.
As an elder of a prominent family clan, Uncle Lin naturally wouldn't take sides without evidence.
"Elder Xu."
Uncle Lin's gaze fell on the pharmacist beside him.
"Preliminary speculation suggests that He Xiaobao had taken a Bursting Qi Pill beforehand and activated so secret technique to forcibly enhance his combat strength, resulting in injury from the Sound Wave Secret Technique and suffering backlash..."
Pharmacist Xu said expressionlessly.
He himself was an Alchemist and possessed Postnatal Qi Transformation realm cultivation. In the Fu Family, his word was highly respected, and his conclusions were definitive.
"I see."
Uncle Lin showed a look of realization, and on the spot dismissed the many Fu Family's Disciples.
The storm quickly subsided.
Later that night.
After discussing among themselves, several Fu Family elders appropriately handled the matter.
He Xiaobao, having taken a Bursting Qi Pill and maliciously challenged Chen Yu with ill intentions, suffered severe injuries as a consequence of his own actions.
Chen Yu's accidental harm, therefore, carried no responsibility.
Of course.
For the upcoming Hunting King contest, the Fu Family still needed to make use of He Dabao, to appease the He Brothers by offering treatnt, Elixirs, and care for the subsequent ridian recovery.
Such a settlent appeared reasonably fair and proper to outsiders.
But for He Dabao, the principal party involved, who had witnessed his brother being crippled and almost had his cultivation destroyed, naturally harbored deep resentnt.
In the Fu Residence, within a luxurious and spacious room.
"Xiaobao! Your brother will surely avenge you."
"That Chen Yu who ruined your cultivation, brother will make him pay back tenfold, including his beautiful senior sister, they will both suffer."
He Dabao's eyes flickered with venomous intent, like a poisonous snake in the night.
However.
He Dabao did not know.
The target of his desired revenge was about to experience a new breakthrough.
In a room of a siheyuan within the Fu Family.
Chen Yu sat cross-legged, wholeheartedly circulating the "Yuan Sha Divine Skill".
Whoosh!
A thick layer of dark cyan Qi patterns erged around his body, writhing like snakes and emitting trendous Evil Qi pressure.
As ti passed, the dark cyan Qi patterns grew denser, like a heavy layer of dark clouds filling the air, an invisible aura of Evil Power continuously climbing.
Whoosh whoosh~
From a diater of several feet, the dark cyan clouds of Evil Qi gradually expanded to several dozen feet, with intimidating roars echoing faintly around them.
Until at a certain mont.
The dark cyan clouds of Evil Qi expanded to a radius of thirty feet, dispersing into the air above.
Three days later.
Above the siheyuan, a light black whirl of Qi rotated, its appearance resembled an Ancient giant serpent, circling ominously above Chen Yu's room.
This extraordinary phenonon alard many of the Fu Family's Disciples.
"What strong Evil Qi!"
"Such an atmosphere, could it be that so great expert is about to ascend to Innate Qi Transformation?"
Many of the Fu Family's Disciples converged towards this place.
Not long after.
The area was sealed off by the Fu Family's higher-ups, forbidding anyone to enter within a half-mile radius.
A hundred feet away from Chen Yu's residence, on the rooftop of a building.
Family Head Fu Yuan, Uncle Lin, and other Innate Qi Transformation high-ranking mbers stood watching the dark black whirl of Qi that resembled an Ancient giant serpent.
"Judging by this scene, the person attempting the breakthrough is practicing a powerful Ancient Evil Technique."
A middle-aged man with purple hair said with a faint smile.
"Such an Evil Technique, once mastered, has exceptional might. And depending on the spiritual insight and cumulation of Evil Power of the practitioner, could display vastly different levels of strength."
Several Postnatal Qi Transformation realm elders looked toward Chen Yu's place of seclusion with complex expressions.
Obviously.
From the spectacle of Evil Qi displayed, the practitioner of that Evil Technique is among the best of the best, himself surely possessing no small fortune.
"Hehe, once Chen Yu steps into the realm of Qi Transformation, along with his senior sister Ye Luofeng, this Hunting King contest, our Fu Family might stand a chance to fight for the crown," said Family Head Fu Yuan and Uncle Lin, looking at each other and smiling.
"That may not be so certain. Such astonishing Evil Power is generally not sothing a Postnatal Peak can handle, let alone a youngster who just attempted a Qi Transformation breakthrough."
A white-browed old man spoke doubtfully.
His words caused a hush among the gathered clan elders.
Indeed.
The spirit of Evil Power looming above Chen Yu's place of seclusion was formidable.
That spirit of Evil Power, nearing Innate Qi Transformation, along with the underlying True Qi fluctuations, far surpassed the ordinary Postnatal Qi Transformation.
But at that mont.
The huge serpent-like whirl of Evil Qi began to condense.
The light black whirl of Qi, as it compacted, distilled and pulsed like a heart, its surface shining with a dark halo, intermingling with the dawn's early light.
"This kind of spectacle..."
Family Head Fu Yuan and the other clan elders were shocked, their expressions incredulous.
