The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1670 - 1675: The Emergence of True Qi

Only now did Lin Fei understand why those guys had left so many people behind back then, pouring Primordial Power into the pillars. If not for that, he probably wouldn’t have had a chance to win.

In the end, Tian Yi left along with a streak of white light. Lin Fei watched the glow on the ground fade, the Array patterns disappearing without a trace, leaving only Lin Fei, Zhang Fan, and Tian Yaoyao at the scene.

"Zhang Fan, from now on you just accompany Yaoyao wherever she wants to go play." Lin Fei shot Zhang Fan a look and handed the money card over to him.

Zhang Fan immediately gave Lin Fei a grateful look, then took the card and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of my Senior Sister. I’m willing to accompany her to the ends of the earth."

"Mm, if anything comes up, just call me." Lin Fei left.

Zhang Fan looked at the beautiful Yaoyao and said, "Senior Sister, from now on I’m your man. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it for you—go through fire and water, no complaints!"

"Really?" Tian Yaoyao pressed in toward Zhang Fan, finally stopping right in front of him. Their faces were only a millimeter apart, but Zhang Fan felt an extreme sense of danger.

"Let me be the one to keep this card. You just make sure to give me that thing." Tian Yaoyao suddenly laughed, then directly snatched the money card away.

Zhang Fan sighed. Sure enough, Tian Yaoyao was not someone he could control. The pressure she gave off was suffocating; he almost couldn’t breathe.

"Alright, Xiao Fan, come with me. I’m going to buy new clothes."

"Ah? Senior Sister, didn’t you just buy some yesterday?"

"That was yesterday. Today I still have to buy. Got it?"

Zhang Fan could only pull a long face and follow his Senior Sister to the mall, starting a servant’s life.

At this moment, Tian Yi had already arrived at the Qingyun Sect. He looked at the dim sky, the black clouds, and a massive mountain peak towering between Heaven and Earth. This was Qingyun Mountain.

Once Tian Yi returned to the Qingyun Sect, a Disciple immediately said, "Elder Tian, the Sect Leader has been looking for you for several days. He told you to head straight to the Sect Leader Hall to see him as soon as you got back."

Tian Yi nodded, then walked toward the Sect Leader Hall.

Arriving in the great hall, the person seated on high asked about where Tian Yi had gone. After listening to Tian Yi describe the Lower Realm in flowery detail, the Sect Leader Li Yunfeng asked in puzzlement, "The Lower Realm is really that interesting?"

"Of course, Senior Brother, I’m not lying to you. The Lower Realm is really fun. But I also just told you about the danger it’s facing, so I’ve decided to help the Lower Realm out. After all, our Qingyun Sect is one of the sects on the Righteous Path." Tian Yi laid out his thoughts again.

Li Yunfeng nodded. "Since you’ve decided, I’ll support you. Go ahead and do it. If there’s a chance and the time is right, I’ll go take a look myself."

"Hehe, Sect Leader, you really should go have a look." Tian Yi said.

"Tian Yi, just call me Senior Brother. This Sect Leader position really should have been yours."

"I don’t want it. My talent and Cultivation can’t compare to yours, Senior Brother. Besides, if I became Sect Leader, I’d have to keep a straight face every day. Even I wouldn’t be used to that." Tian Yi said with a grin.

"Hahaha, so what you’re saying is that I keep a straight face every day?"

"This Junior Brother wouldn’t dare..."

Just then, a Disciple ran toward the hall. The two of them immediately resumed their dignified bearing. They were brothers, so joking around was fine, but they wouldn’t act like that in front of Disciples—wouldn’t be good for their prestige.

"Sect Leader! Elder Zhu Tianfeng requests an audience."

"Zhu Tianfeng? Got it, let him in. Junior Brother Tian, you go handle your own matters." Li Yunfeng said.

"Yes! Senior Brother, I’ll take my leave."

Tian Yi finished speaking, then vanished from the hall, leaving through the back door. He and that Elder from Zhu Tianfeng didn’t get along, so it was better not to meet.

In the Lower Realm, Lin Fei was currently thinking about one thing: getting stronger.

In the end, Lin Fei decided to ask Zhang Fan for that Space Isolation Array. After all, that Array could devour Heaven and Earth Qi to replenish itself and didn’t require manpower. Lin Fei could handle it alone.

So after he borrowed it, he went to a vast, empty area with no one around and directly laid out the Array.

In an instant, the Array isolated the Lower Realm’s Rule Power. Of course, it couldn’t completely block it, but it was enough. Lin Fei felt his strength continuously increasing, finally reaching a limit. But Lin Fei knew he was still far from those who came down from the Upper Realm, not even as strong as Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan was a master at the Golden Core Realm, with a Golden Core condensed in his body, and he was almost at the Nascent Soul Realm, turning Core into Nascent Soul, breaking cocoon into butterfly.

Lin Fei felt this power and kept using the Array to devour the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi. In the end, his body kept swelling, his insides filled with Heaven and Earth Qi, as if he were about to burst!

But even so, Lin Fei still didn’t give up, continually compressing the Heaven and Earth Qi in his body. Finally—

Bang!

He blew up!

He really blew up!

Lin Fei felt like he’d been smashed by a giant Divine Hammer, sent flying, blood spurting from all over. His whole body went limp and feeble as he shot out of the Array, yet he couldn’t sense any Heaven and Earth Qi at all.

"Just my luck..."

Lin Fei landed on the ground, feeling like his whole body was ruined. The Heaven and Earth Qi in his body was uncontrollably gushing outward, far beyond his control. That feeling, like a balloon with the air let out, was truly indescribable.

In the end Lin Fei could only lie on the ground. After a whole day and night, he finally felt some strength return. Then he tried to raise his arm, took out his phone, and called his son.

"Lin An, come pick your old man up from here!"

Lin An followed the GPS in Lin Fei’s phone and found him.

"Dad, what happened to you?"

"Overdid it while cultivating and blew up." Lin Fei still felt lingering fear. Luckily his body was very strong, the result of the Demon Lord refining it personally for over ten years—of course it was formidable.

Lin Fei was brought home by Lin An. His family were all very worried about his condition. Lin Fei said a few words to reassure them, then lay alone in his room, quietly sensing the changes in his body.

Although he’d failed and even exploded, Lin Fei was surprised to find tiny granular things appearing inside his body. These tiny things shone with golden light, like cell nuclei, filling his cells.

"Could these things be Golden Cores?"

Lin Fei immediately shook his head, rejecting that idea. He’d seen Zhang Fan’s Golden Core; it was about the size of a goose egg. Of course, that was its state right before cracking to become a Nascent Soul. He’d heard that when it first formed, it was about the size of a pigeon egg, or even smaller.

What Lin Fei had was ridiculously small—sand grains were dozens of times bigger than them!
