Recalling the past, when King Jinghe was just a child, his grandfather King Jing'an had told him many times.
Back then, the Demon Master wreaked havoc upon the nation. All nine Grand Commanders of the Demon Slaying Division died at the hands of the Demon Master. The court officials, and even the reigning King Jingchang, had their souls suppressed and were reduced to puppets.
Even his grandfather, King Jing'an, barely managed to escape with his life, led by a later Grand Commander of the Demon Slaying Division named Zuo Shang.
The Great Jing Dynasty was in mortal peril.
But just then, they encountered the Imperial Advisor Li Qi. Li Qi, with his own strength, managed to slay the Demon Master who had already advanced to the Golden Core stage, forcefully restoring order to the court.
And now, the same Imperial Advisor Li Qi who saved the Great Jing and its people from dire straits, had appeared once again at this most critical juncture.
King Jinghe's expression immediately turned excited.
Meanwhile, the Molin Demon King, who had been blasted away, stabilized his form, a hint of shock and uncertainty in his eyes.
These three Nascent Soul cultivators of the human race were already being held back, yet someone else could repel me?
The next moment, the Molin Demon King's gaze fell upon Li Qi, who stood blocking the cultivators within the circle.
"Kid, it's you!"
In the next instant, the Molin Demon King's tone turned to extreme fury.
This figure was someone he would never forget, even after decades.
It was because of this guy's appearance! The bet made across thirty thousand miles of territory back then! They had been in a winning position but were forced to lose the match.
The Molin Demon King's voice, as cold as ice, resounded.
"You actually dare to appear before me again? Then today, I shall kill you and resolve the bitter hatred I've harbored for decades."
The next moment.
Terrifying black demonic energy, laced with overwhelming killing intent, emanated from his body, obscuring the sky and earth, making even the firmament appear dim.
The Molin Demon King's aura of the second heaven of the Nascent Soul stage fully manifested, enveloping Li Qi.
Following this, the black demonic energy radiating from the Molin Demon King's body coalesced behind him into an incredibly colossal phantom of a black Qilin, nearly a thousand meters tall.
"Roar!"
A piercing roar, painful to the ears, erupted from the mouth of the black Qilin phantom, echoing into reality.
King Jinghe and the others on the ground, upon merely hearing this sound, trembled from the depths of their hearts, their eyes filled with despair.
"Stomp, stomp, stomp..."
The thousand-meter-tall black Qilin phantom moved its limbs and directly charged towards Li Qi.
Even space seemed to fracture under the impact of this colossal black Qilin phantom.
In just a few breaths, the black Qilin phantom arrived before Li Qi.
"Die, kid!"
The Molin Demon King's voice boomed.
"Rumble..."
Its massive front hoof stomped down fiercely towards Li Qi's body. However, before it could land, the potent pressure emanating from it had already caused the ground to collapse in numerous places.
At this moment, Li Qi's expression became extremely grave.
As expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even though I have now reached the Nascent Soul realm, he is still bringing me immense pressure.
But it's good!
I have my cheat.
Without any hesitation, Li Qi instantly activated all four of his innate talents.
[Strength: 1011700 (Hundredfold increase within one minute, countdown 59 seconds)]
[Speed: 897200 (Hundredfold increase within one minute, countdown 59 seconds)]
[Defense: 887200 (Hundredfold increase within one minute, countdown 59 seconds)]
[Recovery: 861200 (Hundredfold increase within one minute, countdown 59 seconds)]
This is... strength exceeding one million points!
A surge of power coursed through Li Qi's body, giving him an illusion.
At this moment, he felt capable of tearing a piece from the sky.
A casual clench of his fist sent ripples of vibration through the air.
At this moment, he could trade one for one against a Nascent Soul cultivator!
However, Li Qi was not content with merely this. He wanted to utterly crush him.
The new Farmer's Three Punches, obtained after his strength attribute points broke ten thousand, could finally be used.
With this thought.
Li Qi took a deep breath, and his aura shifted once more.
"Farmer's Three Punches, First Punch."
"Boom!"
Li Qi's simple and unpretentious fist slammed towards the black Qilin phantom.
But before this punch could even reach, the terrifying demonic energy that had been sweeping towards Li Qi was first blown away by the gust of wind generated by this punch.
Then, Li Qi's punch collided with the hoof of the black Qilin phantom descending from the sky.
"Bang!"
In an instant, the terrifying black Qilin phantom in the sky violently exploded, shattering into pieces.
"How is this possible!"
The Molin Demon King's voice, filled with disbelief, echoed.
Although he had only just entered the Nascent Soul stage, currently at the second heaven, there was a significant gap between him and the other seasoned Nascent Soul cultivators of the human and demon races.
However, apart from those few Nascent Soul cultivators, the Molin Demon King was confident that no one else in the Xu Realm could be his opponent.
But the next moment, the Molin Demon King's heart leaped, a strong sense of dread surging within him.
And the source of this dread.
Li Qi!
At this moment, Li Qi, having shattered the black Qilin phantom, looked at him with a pair of icy eyes.
He slowly raised his hand again, clenching it into a fist.
But even before this punch was thrown, the space around Li Qi began to ripple violently, generating visible waves.
At the same time, Li Qi's complexion turned somewhat pale.
The casting of this second punch was frantically draining all his internal energy, essence, and spirit.
As expected of a set of punches the system specifically warned him not to use carelessly; the consumption was so immense.
If this punch were to be unleashed, even Li Qi would likely need several years of recuperation to fully recover from the depletion.
He dared not imagine how much essence, spirit, and soul would be drained if he were to unleash the third punch later.
"Farmer's Three Punches, Second Punch."
"Boom!"
Li Qi's fist was unleashed again, directly aimed at the Molin Demon King.
At this moment, his fist carried ten times the power of the previous punch.
If one were to add Li Qi's current hundredfold power amplification state.
That would be...
A punch with a thousandfold power!
At this moment, the Molin Demon King's heart, which had been filled with dread, had completely transformed into the terror of death.
He wanted to flee, but found himself seemingly locked onto by Li Qi's punch.
"No!"
Intense demonic energy surged from the Molin Demon King once more, and at this moment, the Molin Demon King directly transformed into his true form.
A black Qilin hundreds of meters tall.
The black Qilin let out a furious roar, its second heaven Nascent Soul stage aura pushed to its absolute limit.
"Roar!"
But it was all in vain. When Li Qi's punch finally made contact with the Molin Demon King's body.
Heaven and earth seemed to freeze for a brief moment.
The entire human Great Wall beneath their feet trembled.
Countless human and demon cultivators ceased their battles, looking on from afar.
And under their horrified gazes.
"Aaaahhh!"
The Molin Demon King's shrill scream echoed.
Following this.
"Bang!"
Blood splattered across the sky, and the furthest fragments of bone and flesh exploded hundreds of miles away.
The Molin Demon King's life force was completely extinguished under this single punch.
Li Qi's two punches.
Nascent Soul cultivator falls!
