The force of the punch was like a storm, piercing through the air! An incomparably terrifying power, like Heavenly Might, descended and overwhelmed everything in its path!

Xuanwang's casual strike inflicted unparalleled terror upon Su Mingli. He felt like an ant facing Mount Tai, utterly devoid of any chance to resist!

"Half-step Grandmaster!?" Su Mingli cried out in sheer horror, hurriedly pulling Su Yiyi with him as they attempted to flee, exclaiming in disbelief, "How is it possible! How can there be such a young Half-step Grandmaster like you!!"

In his understanding, a Half-step Grandmaster was one in ten million! Usually, only peak Hidden Force martial artists in their fifties or sixties could break through their limits and enter a new realm. Yet, even then, they wouldn't have stepped into the Transcendence Realm—such were Half-step Grandmasters.

This monk appeared to be in his thirties or forties!

To think he's a Half-step Grandmaster!? Too terrifying! How could this be happening!? Why, when all he wanted was to bring his sister to Yue Feng to discuss the weekend martial arts exchange, did they have to encounter such a fearsome person!?

But now, there was no time left to think!

Seeing Xuanwang in pursuit, Su Mingli knew escape was impossible. He had no choice but to mobilize all his Hidden Force in an attempt to resist.

"Hahaha! A mere ant! Daring to receive my attack!" Xuanwang laughed maniacially. His five fingers formed a fist, unleashing an attack like King Ming striking down to end the world. "Die! Don't interfere with my slaughter of Qin Heng!!"

BOOM!

The punch struck Su Mingli directly. Instantly, he was flung like a sandbag, crashing through the glass doors of the office building. He flew out, landed heavily, and skidded a long distance across the ground.

He was covered in injuries, his bones broken, his internal organs bleeding!

PTUI!! Su Mingli coughed, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His face turned deathly pale, devoid of all color.

"Brother!!" Su Yiyi hurried over, panic-stricken as she looked at Su Mingli, pleading, "Brother, brother, are you alright? Don't scare me, please don't scare me!!"

"This kid took one of my King Ming's World-Ending Fist and didn't die on the spot; that's quite something," Xuanwang snorted coldly, "However, within three days, his internal organs will not withstand my Inner Strength and will all explode. By then, his death is certain!!"

THUD!

Su Yiyi knelt before Xuanwang, tears streaming down her face as she kowtowed repeatedly, a picture of utter desolation. "Please, I beg you, don't kill my brother! Can you spare him?"

Su Mingli had protected her since they were young, and he was still protecting her now!

But the enemy they faced now was too powerful. Su Mingli was no match at all. He had been severely injured by a single strike and might even die from his wounds!

What to do! What could she do!? Su Yiyi was almost in despair.

Xuanwang, however, acted as if he hadn't seen a thing. He remained aloof, saying indifferently, "Ants of the secular world like you simply don't understand the true Martial Dao. Killing this kid is like killing a chicken, and I don't make a habit of sparing chickens."

He held everyone in the secular world in contempt. Their daily lives of school and work were trivial. They were weak, sickly, and completely ignorant of the Martial Dao. In Xuanwang's eyes, they were mere trash, not worth mentioning, to be killed at will.

Crushing an ant, killing a chicken—in his view, such actions were insignificant!

"Half-step Grandmaster, so you're only a Half-step Grandmaster after all!"

From within the hall, Chen Qingzhu suddenly laughed. Injured and unable to stand, she could only sit on the ground. With a smile, she said, "Monk, you're finished! When President Qin arrives, you'll die a miserable death!!"

Initially, Chen Qingzhu had thought Xuanwang was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, given the immense strength he displayed. That's why she didn't want Qin Heng to come, fearing he wouldn't be able to defeat the monk.

But now, she discovered that the monk was merely a Half-step Grandmaster!

Chen Qingzhu was no longer afraid! At the Chens' estate, she had seen with her own eyes Qin Heng kill a Half-step Grandmaster with a single punch!

"What!?" Su Yiyi's eyes suddenly lit up. She looked towards Chen Qingzhu in the hall, overjoyed. "Could Qin Heng's arrival save us?"

"It's possible! That Qin Heng is extremely strong!" Su Mingli, on the brink of death, spoke with difficulty. "He can flick Bai Zhen away with a single finger. His strength is probably no less than that of a Half-step Grandmaster."

There was hope! There was truly hope now! A flame of hope ignited in their hearts. As long as Qin Heng arrived, they could be saved!

"Hehe hehe hahaha hahaha!! How ludicrous! How utterly ludicrous! Hahaha!!!"

Xuanwang burst into loud laughter, his body shaking as if he'd heard the funniest joke in the world. His Internal Force erupted, shredding his yellow monk's robe and revealing diamond-hard muscles.

"You bunch of foolish mortals! Comparing a mere Half-step Grandmaster from the secular world with me? Ignorant! Naive! Ridiculous! You're going to make me die of laughter!

"Listen well! I am a True Disciple martial artist from the Golden Buddha Temple, with an orthodox Martial Dao lineage. We have a clear path from Open Force to the Innate Realm, possessing powerful martial arts techniques and Cultivation Techniques!

"You're nothing like those garbage martial artists of the secular world, practicing things like Xing Yi Fist or Bagua Palm—trash that might never allow you to reach the Transcendence Realm even after a lifetime of practice!

"The Rage of Ming King's Power I cultivate leads directly to the Innate Realm. With systematic practice, reaching the Transcendence Realm is inevitable. Even among Half-step Grandmasters, I could crush the likes of you with one finger. And even if that Qin Heng is a Half-step Grandmaster, I can kill him with a single punch!!"

Golden Buddha Temple!? Chen Qingzhu looked blank; she had never heard of it and had no idea what the Golden Buddha Temple was.

Su Yiyi was also confused, not understanding what was happening.

Only Su Mingli's expression changed drastically. His whole body trembled uncontrollably as he looked at Xuanwang in disbelief. "I... I've heard my grandfather talk about them—hidden Martial Dao sects existing beyond the secular world!

"These are powerful sects with millennia of heritage. A single True Disciple emerging from one can sweep through the secular world! The Golden Buddha Temple is the leading Buddhist sect in the southern Martial Dao community. They have several Grandmasters of Transcendence and are incredibly powerful!"

What!? Several Grandmasters of Transcendence!? Chen Qingzhu's and Su Yiyi's faces turned deathly pale, their expressions panicked. They might not have understood everything, but Su Mingli's last words struck them like lightning!

Gods! There are only a few publicly acknowledged Grandmasters in all of China! Overseas in Nanyang, a Grandmaster of Transcendence can even hold equal status with the leader of a small nation! And now, a single Martial Dao sect, the Golden Buddha Temple, has several Grandmasters!? This is too terrifying!!

Chen Qingzhu trembled as she pulled out her phone, intending to call Qin Heng and warn him not to come. Although this Xuanwang was also a Half-step Grandmaster, his strength probably far surpassed that of the one Qin Heng had killed at the Chens' estate. Qin Heng would be in grave danger if he came!

BANG!

Suddenly, a gust of wind shot through the air, knocking Chen Qingzhu's phone from her hand and smashing it to pieces on the ground.

"You want to notify Qin Heng?" Xuanwang's expression was icy, his face filled with killing intent. "Give up. You have no chance. When Qin Heng arrives, I'll let you watch with your own eyes as I slaughter him! Hahaha!!"

BOOM!!

Just then, the ground suddenly trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck!

A figure! He had just jumped down from the rooftop of the Yue Feng office building!

With no protection whatsoever! He jumped straight down!

That was twelve stories high!

And yet, he landed firmly on the ground, without the slightest hint of unsteadiness!

There wasn't even a single crack on the pavement beneath his feet!

As stable as Mount Tai!

Qin Heng! He was here!

Qin Heng's expression was terrifyingly grim, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

His gaze swept over the bloodstains in the Yue Feng hall, the severely injured people, Chen Qingzhu sitting by the wall, the gravely wounded Su Mingli, and Su Yiyi kneeling on the ground.

Finally, Qin Heng's gaze settled on Xuanwang. His voice was ice-cold. "Baldy, tell me the location of the Golden Buddha Temple. Then, kill yourself."
