Chapter 17

“Alright, fists and feet have no eyes—if I hurt your son, don’t you dare feel sorry.” Stephen Walker clenched both fists, activated his qi, and with a single palm chop, a sharp surge of energy burst forth, instantly condensing in midair into the shadow of a long blade. It sliced through the air, slashing toward James Walker. “Mad Demon Qi Blade!”

Stephen Walker practiced the Yang family’s “Mad Demon Qi Technique,” known for its ferocity and brutality. When the Mad Demon Qi Blade was unleashed, it was as if a crazed blade demon was rampaging, hacking and slashing wildly. The frenzied aura on the blade could seize one’s mind; those with weak mental cultivation would be terrified at the mere sight.

However, James Walker remained extremely calm.

He moved his feet and dodged! His body twisted like a snake, weaving like a fish swimming through water, displaying the Yang family’s most authentic martial movement technique, “Hundred Transformations of Fish and Dragon.”

The Yang family’s martial arts were numerous, each with its own mysteries. When cultivated to a profound level, any of them could turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

James Walker, using the supreme qi technique “Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Strength,” drove the Yang family’s martial arts to perfection, able to escape danger at the very brink. He himself was quite talented—not a mere wastrel—and his cultivation was outstanding. In these past few days, his mental maturity had greatly advanced his martial prowess.

“Hmph!”

Stephen Walker saw that James Walker had actually dodged his Mad Demon Qi Blade. With another flick of his hand, a surge of qi shot out from between his five fingers, stretching three feet long, each like a flying sword, incomparably sharp. This kind of qi weapon could slice through iron like mud; anyone struck would be cut in two.

Everyone immediately realized that James Walker was in a dire situation. This move of Stephen Walker’s was called “Five-Petal Plum Blossom,” his trump card. Five streams of qi weapons burst from his five fingers, consuming a tremendous amount of his own true qi, but also being sinister and unpredictable, nearly impossible to evade.

“Hundred-Step Divine Fist!”

James Walker let out a low roar, his body retreating rapidly as he unleashed dozens of punches in succession. Each punch stirred up a spiraling wave of qi in the air, colliding with the five qi swords.

Normally, there was a huge gap between the fifth stage of explosive qi and the sixth stage of weaponized qi—the refinement of qi was worlds apart. But even a fierce tiger can’t withstand a pack of wolves. James Walker’s speed was too fast, and in an instant, he unleashed so many Hundred-Step Divine Fists. The spiraling waves of qi struck the qi swords one after another, intercepting them repeatedly, until finally the qi weapons were blocked in midair and, with a buzzing sound, began to collapse.

They were actually shattered by the “Hundred-Step Divine Fist.”

“What? How can he unleash so many Hundred-Step Divine Fists in an instant? At the explosive qi stage, it’s impossible to have such a long-lasting supply of true qi.”

Seeing this, the three great experts—John Walker, Charles Walker, and Thomas Walker—were all wide-eyed in shock. James Walker had completely defied their understanding of cultivation; his true qi was unbelievably abundant.

Although the quality of his true qi was far inferior to Stephen Walker’s weaponized qi, there was simply too much of it. Dozens of spiraling qi waves from the Hundred-Step Divine Fist stacked up in succession, and a single qi weapon simply couldn’t withstand it.

What’s more, James Walker’s Hundred-Step Divine Fist was ten times fiercer than that of an ordinary fifth-stage explosive qi practitioner.

“What immense true qi.” Stephen Walker, having his qi weapons shattered, changed expression. His body shuddered repeatedly, and instantly a qi shield rose up in front of him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

His qi shield had just formed when the Hundred-Step Divine Fists, like a torrential storm, pounded against it, causing the entire shield to ripple and shake, emitting the sound of clashing steel.

It was James Walker seizing the opportunity, punching through the air, surging waves of qi continuously attacking Stephen Walker, unleashing over a hundred punches in a single breath.

Each punch stirred the air around him like flowing water. In the entire hall, the fierce wind howled, filled with wild energy—everyone felt as if a primordial beast had gone berserk.

“This... he’s a monster! Not human! Even if he has enough true qi, how could his meridians withstand such high-speed explosive qi? Isn’t he afraid of his meridians rupturing?”

“These aren’t human meridians. Over a hundred explosive punches in one breath—even a demon beast couldn’t do that.”

“What kind of resilient meridians and qi sea could support this? Even if his body were forged from refined steel, it couldn’t take it. Was he struck by lightning to become this strong?”

Finally, someone couldn’t hold back, their body trembling. Just now, James Walker’s hundred consecutive explosive punches were simply too shocking. Even seeing it with their own eyes, they found it unbelievable.

Stephen Walker retreated again and again.

Under such high-speed assault, he couldn’t counterattack at all. He could only keep channeling true qi to maintain his qi shield, preventing James Walker from breaking through, while his own true qi was being rapidly depleted.

“Is this kid human or a ghost? With such violent explosive qi, an ordinary person would have died long ago, yet he’s still full of vigor? My sixth-stage qi technique is nowhere near as abundant as his. If this keeps up, I’ll run out of true qi and be defeated by him.” Stephen Walker maintained his qi shield, thinking rapidly. He was a battle-hardened expert—not so easily defeated. His gaze sharpened!

Mad Demon Explosion!

Suddenly, he staked everything, pouring all his true qi into the qi shield. The shield instantly swelled, transforming into a massive qi sphere, which exploded in midair, dispersing all of James Walker’s fist force.

James Walker’s body, shaken by the blast, couldn’t help but stagger backward. The shockwave from the Mad Demon Explosion made it impossible for him to keep his footing, let alone continue his Hundred-Step Divine Fist assault.
