Chapter 121: Interception (I)

Dark clouds covered the sky, blocking out almost all the moonlight, making the surroundings pitch black.

Waves of heat came through the air, causing the heat accumulated in her body after running to turn into sweat. Mo Yanfei’s clothes, which had just been dried by the wind, were once again drenched in sweat.

The sweltering heat and dark clouds were the prelude to a summer storm.

Chen Yiming and Mo Yanfei stood by the river. The sound of the river splashing against the shore and Mo Yanfei’s thumping heart were almost synchronized.

A young man and a mature woman had come to the wilderness alone at night. It was inevitable that they would feel a little self-conscious.

Although the time and place was right, when the smell of sweat on the other party’s body drifted over, Chen Yiming instantly lost all interest.

“I’m actually from Yungang City. The dangerous place is…”

After Mo Yanfei received his promise, she was about to reveal the location of the danger zone when she was interrupted.

“Tap! Tap!”

The clear sound of footsteps rang out.

A middle-aged man with white hair slowly walked over from the darkness.

The middle-aged man had a well-proportioned figure and was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. However, the aura he exuded made one feel an invisible pressure from dozens of meters away.

Chen Yiming had never felt such pressure before. Compared to the military warrior he had encountered earlier, the difference was like that between a tiger and a lamb.

“Leave her here,” Ren Pingsheng said calmly.

He had long known that no one in East Lake City other than him could stop the masked man. In addition, in order to prevent the battle from affecting the city, he had followed them until they were more than 10 kilometers away.

Chen Yiming’s expression darkened. He wasn’t worried for his own safety, but for Mo Yanfei’s.

A battle between warriors could easily affect an area of a few kilometers.

If Mo Yanfei died here, how would he find the location of the dangerous place?

“Find a place nearby and wait for me,” he turned to Mo Yanfei and instructed her.

Mo Yanfei nodded and did not waste any time. She randomly chose a direction and left.

Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng did not stop her. Instead, he quietly waited for her to leave.

Both of them were extremely confident in their own strength and were not afraid that Mo Yanfei would escape from them.

“You don’t seem to be afraid at all,” Ren Pingsheng said calmly. He was not in a hurry to make a move.

“The last two people who spoke to me in this tone didn’t meet a good end.” Chen Yiming’s expression didn’t change and he remained standing at his spot.

His opponent was only one person. Even if he lost in the end, he could rely on the recovery ability of his Level-1 Undying Body talent to withstand his opponent’s attacks and escape.

Therefore, he was not in any hurry. At most, he would get his revenge after he achieved his next breakthrough.

“I’m Ren Pingsheng.” Ren Pingsheng revealed his identity.

“I’ve never heard of you,” Chen Yiming replied, pretending not to know who it was.

When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he remained expressionless, but he was secretly angry.

As the overseer of East Lake City, his strength was enough to overwhelm the dozens of warriors in the city, so that no one would dare to go against him.

Other than his special status, he had relied on his strength from the first stage of the warrior realm to master the transformation of his internal force.

In terms of the stability of the internal force structure, the original internal force was similar to loose sand, while the internal force after mastering the transformation was equivalent to mud that had solidified after being mixed with water.

This was not the only difference between the two.

The internal force after mastering the transformation, could easily be integrated into one’s blood and be maintained in a stable state.

Then, as the blood was transported to various parts of one’s body, it seeped into one’s bones and internal organs. One’s body which had already reached a bottleneck could continue to be tempered and become stronger.

The strength of one’s internal force would increase qualitatively and one’s body would also be stronger than that of ordinary warriors.

After one’s body became stronger, the container holding one’s internal force would become larger, and the amount of internal force one’s body could hold would also increase.

Logically speaking, Ren Pingsheng’s internal force and body were completely superior to the masked man’s.

The masked man must have been out of his mind to talk back to him instead of looking for an opportunity to escape.

“Young man, you have to respect your seniors.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Pingsheng raised his right hand and spread out his fingers.

His movements were neither fast nor slow, and he exuded the aura of a grandmaster, as if everything was under his control.

Immediately after, a golden internal force lit up his palms and fingers at the same time, and golden beams of light shot out to form a golden net.

The dazzling golden light emitted by the golden net lit up the surrounding forest and rivers, making it look like the sun was setting.

“Six Stars Dragon Capturing Palm!”

A low growl sounded.

The golden net left his hand and instantly expanded to more than 10 meters in diameter, enveloping Chen Yiming.

Unlike ordinary internal force that quickly collapsed after leaving the body, the golden net continued to shine brightly without any signs of weakening.

“I’ll break it apart!” Chen Yiming roared.

He released his internal force without reservation, and his entire body was surrounded by a silver light.

At the same time, dozens of sword shadows carrying the piercing internal force shot out.

In a one-on-one battle, his internal force was no match for his opponent’s internal force. However, in a ten-on-one battle, the difference in quantity could make up for the difference in quality.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Dozens of sword shadows collided with the golden net, and the sound of continuous explosions rang out.

The golden net was instantly deformed by dozens of piercing internal forces, like a piece of spiked fur.

Just as Chen Yiming had expected, after a moment of stalemate, both their internal forces exploded and dissipated in the air.

After the transformation, the internal force was still an internal force, but had a stable structure through its special organization.

Once the limit of what the internal force could withstand was exceeded, this stable structure was not impossible to break. The moment the structure was disrupted, it would also collapse like the original internal force.

In the first round, both sides were tied.

The surrounding obstacles were flattened by the shock wave from the internal force explosion, revealing the two people who had remained at their original spots.

“Interesting,” Ren Pingsheng said with a smile.

He did not expect the masked man to use such a method to counter his attack. He had faced his attack head-on by expending dozens of times the amount of internal force.

However, he did not think that the other party could last long by fighting this way.

“Why aren’t you continuing?” Chen Yiming asked without backing down.

He was not putting up a bold front. With his Level-1 Undying Body talent, as long as he was not crushed, he would not lose in a battle of attrition.

“Hehe! How long can you last with this rate of expenditure?” Ren Pingsheng raised his palms and two large golden nets shot out at once.

The two golden nets formed two arcs that surrounded Chen Yiming from both sides.

“Too slow!”

Chen Yiming let out a low grunt and turned into a silver beam of light that shot into the sky before the golden net could surround him.

Hundreds of silver sword shadows fell from the sky like a storm.

“It’s useless,” Ren Pingsheng said with a smile.

He raised his hand and created a large, two-layered golden net to intercept the sword shadows that were coming towards him.

With the two layers stacked together, the defense provided was more than the sum of two individual layers.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The sound of an explosion more intense than before rang out.

The hundreds of sword shadows were easily blocked by the golden net and dissipated.
