Bi Qisen’s face flushed red at once, and his eyes burned with shame and anger.
A strong killing intent surged from the bottom of his heart, filling his bloodshot eyes.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free from the terrifying pressure enveloping his body.
Second-grade?
The person who dealt with him was a second-grade?
Bi Qisen was shocked and enraged. He opened his mouth and bellowed in a hoarse voice. “Who… who is it?!”
Thump!
The ground shook, and the ground where Bi Qisen’s head was caved in. A pit had formed, and cracks were all over the place.
Bi Qisen’s head had sunk into the hole, and half of his face was badly mangled.
“ant”
“amazing!”
“Who did this? Which big shot did this?”
Cries of alarm rose from the distant spectators.
Third-grade big shots were rare to begin with.
Not to mention the shocking sight of the man being pinned down and his head being pressed into the ground.
More importantly, the person doing this had done so from a distance away.
Such a grand scene was enough to send waves of excitement through their veins.
Even Su Jingxing was slightly taken aback.
He was certain that the Diamond King was behind this, but the Diamond King had yet to manifest his Martial Art True Intent and was able to suppress Bi Qisen with his purely own might.
Such strength was truly astonishing,
Bi Qisen was also a third-grade martial artist. Even though his Martial Art True Intent had just been shattered by Su Jingxing and his mind, willpower, and soul had been severely damaged, it shouldn’t have been to the point where he was completely helpless.
Against the might of the Diamond King, he was like a dead fish that was at his mercy.
“This Diamond King is a second-grade martial artist?”
$u Jingxing could not help but ask Gu Zhanlin, feeling surprised.
“Not yet, but he doesn’t fear second-grade martial artists either.”
Gu Zhanlin explained with a smile, “The real name of the Diamond King is Wu Baoxiang. He was taken in as a disciple by the previous Diamond King when he was young and kept by his side. He cultivated the ultimate technique of the Diamond Sect, which has both powerful offensive and terrifying
defensive power.
“This sort of martial art that blends offense and defense together has an exceptionally high demand for physical fitness. The Diamond King has been searching for for years, but to no avail.
“Now that he has found one today, of course he wouldn’t let him slip by. Bi Qisen is courting death. If he’s still thinking of kidnapping the young man, Diamond King will show no mercy.
“Even though this Senior Wu is only a third-grade martial artist, his battle prowess is on par with a second-grade martial artist. On top of that, his terrifying defense allows him to… no, almost every Diamond King has been invincible among third-grade martial artists!
“Elder Jiang was shocked earlier because the Diamond King’s might was too powerful yet his Martial Art True Intent had not manifested, am I right?”
“That’s right,” said Su Jingxing, nodding. “Given how powerful the Diamond King’s suppression is, could it be because the martial art he practiced is too outstanding?”
“No.”
Gu Zhanlin shook his head and smiled. “The ultimate technique of the Diamond Sect is indeed unique, but the reason why the Diamond is so powerful is because he used his Martial Art True Intent!”
“_.” Su Jingxing turned to look at Gu Zhanlin.
“Tm not lying, Elder Jiang.”
Gu Zhanlin smiled. “The Diamond King did release his Martial Art True Intent earlier, but his is a little special and cannot be materialized. If you don’t believe me, Elder Jiang, you can carefully sense the Diamond King’s aura.”
Su Jingxing remained silent.
He gathered his soul power and focused it on his eyes. His perception locked onto the Diamond King and inspected him closely.
His pupils abruptly constricted.
“His… his physical body is the Martial Art True Intent?!” exclaimed Su Jingxing.
“You got it right!”
Gu Zhanlin clapped his hands and sighed. “All the Martial Art True Intents of the Diamond Kings are their own bodies!
“It’s said that once a Diamond King reaches the first-grade, his physical body and Martial Art True Intent will undergo miraculous changes. No one knows what these exact changes are.
“For the past thousand years, not a single Diamond King has achieved this. The highest that any one of them went was a second-grade.
“The combat ability of a Diamond King who is in the second-grade is still on par with a first-grade martial artist.
“Therefore, for countless years, every Diamond King pursued the first-grade. Yet, even without succeeding, they weren’t upset. To them, advancing to the second-grade is already a success!”
Su Jingxing remained silent.
Deep down, however, he had this great enlightenment as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun was bright.
His Martial Art True Intent is his physical body!
His Martial Art True Intent is himself.
That’s right, why can’t Martial Art True Intent be a person?
Not just a hand, a foot, or a head.
But a complete body!
Su Jingxing had always been at a loss as to what kind of Martial Art True Intent to pursue.
But at this moment, he knew.
Self!
He didn’t want weapons, beasts, or anything else. The Martial Art True Intent he wanted was himself.
He wanted to create a complete version of himself from his previous life!
Compared to the Martial Art True Intent of other third-grade martial artists, condensing them required various forms of relaxation, deep meditation, and self-creation.
There was no need to go through all that trouble to manifest his past self.
Because he was it. He had clear memories as the template.
At the thought of this, Su Jingxing’s mind became clearer than ever. In an instant, his soul power increased by quite a bit.
Ina more profound sense, Su Jingxing had achieved enlightenment!
Su Jingxing now had a clear goal in mind.
On the other side, his benefactor, the Diamond King, finally put down Feng Tiejian and walked towards Bi Qisen, who was still sprawled on the ground.
“A chairman of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, Bi Qisen?”
With every step the Diamond King, Wu Baoxiang, took, the pressure exerted on Bi Qisen intensified.
“Are you the one who’s bent on taking my disciple away?”
Thump!
Bi Qisen’s head caved in again, throwing debris into the air.
The other side of his face was also badly mutilated, and he was completely disfigured.
“Tm Wu Baoxiang. If you want to take my disciple away, can you do the same with me?”
The Diamond King towered over Bi Qisen, who was stiff and covered in blood.
The enraged Bi Qisen who was filled with killing intent froze upon hearing the name “Wu Baoxiang’.
Then, like a deflated balloon, he began to shrink rapidly and deflate.
“So it’s Sect Master Wu. I’m sorry I only just recognized you.”
Bi Qisen began cautiously in a hoarse voice, “I’m so ashamed, | didn’t know that young man was Sect Master Wu’s disciple. I’m willing to offer compensation for my offense.”
“Oh? Then what are you compensating me with?” asked Wu Baoxiang unhurriedly.
Bi Qisen clenched his fists.
While suppressing his rage, his mind was racing.
Compensation was a must; otherwise, the matter wouldn’t end well.
Diamond King, Wu Baoxiang, a third-grade invincible expert.
Even the chairman of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, second-grade expert, was unwilling to provoke him, Bi Qisen all the more didn’t dare to!
