~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It felt as if giant hammers were relentlessly pounding their hearts, and the faces of the seven Innate experts suddenly became extremely grim.
He Yiming's long roar also seemed to contain some powerful force that could directly attack their minds, making their heads feel a dull, stinging pain.
If not for that, the combined strike of the four Innate experts would not have been so easily nullified by He Yiming.
At this moment, He Yiming's mind was highly focused. In his mind, he was recalling the incident of Romia's sound wave attack. His mind was incredibly clear, and the past scene seemed to replay in his mind.
And he also vaguely saw the magical and subtle changes in the air when Romia spoke. It was precisely because of these changes that He Yiming at the time suffered a strong attack.
In fact, after the battle with Romia, He Yiming had greatly desired this sound wave attack method and had always been preoccupied with it. When he was helping Lu Zhengyi break through to the Innate Realm at the final critical moment, he had an intuitive understanding of a bit of its application and helped Lu Zhengyi successfully break through to Innate.
But that feeling was merely a fleeting moment, disappearing without a trace afterward.
And now, under the immense surge of anger that almost completely consumed him, he coincidentally elevated his spirit to an unprecedented level. It was precisely at this point of extreme mental energy that he truly understood how to use this power.
So, he let out a long roar without hesitation, unleashing this power.
Under the impact of this bizarre power, the Innate experts, caught off guard, were defeated one by one. If it weren't for the seven of them working together, some would have likely died on the spot by now.
As Su Jun retreated, he took a deep breath. His face suddenly flushed red, and he opened his mouth wide, letting out a furious roar with all his might.
Although his voice had no special offensive power, it was a fierce shout emitted by an Innate expert using True Qi to agitate his Dantian with all his might, enough to suppress all other sounds in a short time.
The eyes of the other six Innate experts lit up. They also simultaneously let out a loud roar. The sheer volume of sound emanating from the mouths of the seven Innate experts suppressed and drowned out all other sounds. The entire world seemed to be left with only the desperate screams of these few individuals.
The crowd of spectators who had run over from all directions, whether Kairong Country soldiers, Tufan Kingdom attendants, or Xie Mingjin, all covered their ears and retreated. Although the sound was not fatal, it made their eardrums vibrate, leaving them pale.
He Yiming's momentum immediately stalled. His sound wave attack method was inherently not mature, and being roared at by these people in unison immediately showed a tendency to dissipate.
However, he wasn't flustered. For him, sound wave attacks were merely a supplementary means.
His figure moved, appearing like lightning before Su Jun.
When facing multiple opponents, singling out one person and relentlessly attacking them until they are completely defeated is the best method in a group fight.
Among these seven, Su Jun was undoubtedly the most powerful in terms of both prestige and martial prowess. If he could be killed on the spot, it would undoubtedly easily break the fighting spirit of the other six.
One hand was raised high, emitting a sharp, seemingly indestructible and irresistible powerful force.
However, upon sensing this power, Su Jun and the others, while furious, were also secretly delighted.
Su Jun's most powerful asset was his Fire Element True Qi, yet He Yiming was attacking with Metal Element power. Was he stunned?
Almost instinctively, Su Jun no longer retreated. His body instantly turned crimson, from head to toe, and even a hint of pink color floated on his hair.
Then, he punched out with all his might, clashing fiercely with He Yiming's palm.
However, in that instant, his face suddenly showed extreme shock.
Ever since He Yiming appeared, even when he used sound wave attacks, even when he single-handedly broke through the combined attack of seven people, Su Jun had never shown such a terrified expression.
But at this moment, he was truly afraid, and it was a deep, visceral fear.
When his palm, filled with Fire Element power, made contact with He Yiming, what he encountered was not the sharp, unmatched power of Metal Element, but still the overwhelming Water Element True Qi.
As if the Water Element power was wearing a layer of Metal Element power, He Yiming's palm strike fooled everyone.
However, at this moment, He Yiming also felt some emotion. He was deeply grateful for the martial arts brought to him by the Hengshan Mountain lineage.
Before going to Hengshan Mountain, although he could use all the basic Five Elements cultivation methods, it would have been impossible to use them as freely as he did now, or to unleash even greater power through mutually-generating cultivation methods.
It was precisely because he had read many Innate cultivation method manuals in Hengshan Mountain and gained experience in applying them, especially when he was reinforcing Lu Zhengyi's meridians, that he truly acquired invaluable knowledge.
It was this experience that allowed him to truly achieve Five Elements fusion, capable of unleashing Innate True Qi that countered his opponent's at any time.
The powerful Metal Element force suddenly transformed into a vast sea of water, completely extinguishing Su Jun's soaring flames.
However, this strike was not yet over. His hand did not stop but continued to attack, though the force in his hand instantly changed again, transforming from a boundless sea of water into Guan Broadsword.
The metallic-glowing palm, imbued with powerful energy, fiercely tore through Su Jun's defensive hands and was about to strike his chest.
As a seasoned Innate expert, Su Jun naturally had his life-saving trump cards. Seeing that he had no escape, he suddenly shrunk his body, becoming a section smaller like a turtle.
He Yiming's palm struck fiercely but passed by his left shoulder.
Just as Su Jun thought he had escaped, He Yiming's hand suddenly flipped, and a pure Innate Blade Qi fiercely struck his back.
Although Guan Broadsword was not in his hand, when He Yiming used his Metal Element power to its limit, he could still produce similar blade light.
Although this blade light was not enough to split an Innate expert in two, it was definitely not something anyone could easily withstand.
Su Jun let out a miserable groan. Large amounts of blood gushed from his seven orifices: eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Numerous capillaries on his body surface ruptured, and a large amount of blood was forcibly expelled by this fierce strike. He seemed to have just crawled out of a river of blood, turning into a complete blood person.
He stomped his feet hard, already leaping far away, falling heavily to the ground. His body twitched a few times before he barely managed to turn his face.
His eyes were filled with terror, completely broken by this dreamlike attack.
Then his body went limp. Although he still had the strength to fight, he could no longer muster the thought of striking back.
Their exchange of blows lasted only a breath, but in that single breath, unexpected and sudden changes occurred that shocked everyone.
In a single move, Su Jun was wounded, defeated, and broken. In his heart, an indelible scar was left forever.
This was far more severe than physical wounds. If this scar could not be healed, Su Jun's martial arts cultivation for the rest of his life would cease here.
Let alone further progress, even maintaining his current peak state without regressing would be impossible.
Six powerful True Qi streams surged simultaneously towards He Yiming, who had entered the center of the crowd. Upon witnessing Su Jun's fate, a deadly fear also gripped the hearts of the other six. If they had merely been forced to cooperate due to circumstances, now they had no choice but to genuinely cooperate, unleashing their combined peak combat power without reservation.
Facing an expert capable of defeating Su Jun in a single move, if they were to hold back, it would be seeking their own death.
However, He Yiming, surrounded by the crowd, crossed his feet, and his entire being twisted in a bizarre posture. He once again vanished from everyone's sight. Subsequently, countless footsteps entered everyone's ears. At this moment, He Yiming seemed to have transformed into thousands of figures, leaving his footprints everywhere in this space.
What an incredible speed! Even the six great Innate experts were shocked.
Their combined might was powerful, but if they couldn't hit the target, it was all for naught.
In martial arts, a small difference can mean a thousand miles. And He Yiming, with his unique physique, exemplified this perfectly.
Under the crowd's siege, he once again broke free from the encirclement with his strange movement technique. He reappeared on the periphery at an extremely fast speed, then encircled the crowd himself. Finally, he appeared beside an old man like a ghost, just as he had before.
This elder was the one who had questioned He Yiming earlier. Seeing the suddenly appearing face with a cold, disdainful smile, his heart immediately sank. He let out a desperate roar, but his body withered rapidly. This was a common ailment for all Wood-element Innate cultivation methods. But when the body transformed into something like an old tree root, its powerful defense was enough to compensate for everything.
However, the cold sneer on He Yiming's face remained unchanged, and his hand once again glowed with an intense metallic luster.
Mountain-Splitting Thirty-Six Forms, Sixteenth Form.
It was as if an axe had split wood, a long sword had pierced a wooden stake, and a Broadsword had cut down a wooden stick.
He Yiming's Mountain-Splitting Thirty-Six Forms condensed Metal Element power into a single point, pushing all its potential to the extreme.
The elder let out a cold groan that pierced his bones. After being sent flying over ten meters, his body, like Su Jun's, limply fell to the ground.
However, compared to Su Jun, his condition was even more dire. Large mouthfuls of blood gushed from his mouth, and the light in his eyes began to dim.
In just a few breaths, his body had become somewhat stiff, his hands and feet grew cold, and he fell into a coma.
He Yiming's palm strike held nothing back, unleashing the power from all three hundred and sixty acupoints as much as possible. Although it wasn't as terrifying as the Five Elements fusion, how could an Innate expert who was even inferior to Su Jun withstand it?
The faces of the remaining five finally turned extremely terrified. The first time He Yiming had severely injured Su Jun under the siege of the crowd, it could be said that there was no tacit understanding among them, and some Innate experts who were not from Tufan Kingdom still had selfish motives, which was why he exploited the opening.
But this time, all six of them had truly gone all out, yet the final result was still the same.
This psychological blow was truly unbearable for them.
Someone let out a sharp cry, then disregarded everything and leaped away, fleeing into the distance. After a slight pause, three of the other four also turned and fled, leaving only one elder with a pale face standing still.
Even He Yiming himself was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
There were still five opponents. If they had truly worked together, they might not have been without a chance to fight. But he hadn't expected them to collapse so quickly.
His gaze fell on the last remaining person, and a humorous feeling suddenly arose in He Yiming's heart. He coldly smiled and said, "Why don't you leave? Do you think you can stop me?"
The old man gave a bitter smile and said, "They are not from my Tufan Kingdom, so they can naturally avoid it. But as a Nation Protecting Master of Tufan Kingdom, how can I abandon my friends and leave?"
He Yiming raised his eyebrows, immediately understanding the reason.
Mao Lieguang had also said that among the eight Innate experts from Tufan Kingdom, there were also a few Nation Protecting Masters from Tufan's vassal states.
The relationships between these people were like that between Tianluo Country and Kairong Country; although they belonged to the same region, everyone had different thoughts. If the Innate masters of Tufan Kingdom suffered misfortune, these people would likely not only not avenge them but would secretly rejoice.
Nodding slightly, He Yiming said in a deep voice, "Where is Bu Xingcong?"
The elder's gaze swept over Su Jun and the other elder, then he stretched out a hand and pointed in a certain direction, saying, "He lives in Fanghua Pavilion in the back garden, but I can't guarantee if he's there at the moment."
Bu Xingcong was the Fourth Prince of Tufan Kingdom. In normal times, the old man would naturally not reveal his whereabouts. But it was different now, facing He Yiming, this incredibly powerful evil star. These Innate experts all knew that if they continued to conceal or obstruct him, he would definitely not show mercy.
Although a prince is noble, an Innate expert is more important to a country. If three Innate experts could be exchanged for a prince's life, then, besides that prince, any country's ruler would agree without hesitation.
Thus, although the elder spoke the truth, Su Jun did not object but tacitly approved.
He Yiming nodded and said, "Very good, Mingjin, let's go..."
Xie Mingjin excitedly assented, immediately ran up, and followed He Yiming in the direction the old man indicated.
Not until He Yiming had left far away did these people collectively let out a sigh of relief.
The elder dared not delay and immediately went to the other person to treat him. However, when he helped his companion up, his old face became even more grim.
Su Jun also approached them. The two elders looked at each other, their hearts sinking to the extreme.
A surge of anger simultaneously rose in their hearts, but it was not directed at He Yiming, but at the Fourth Prince Bu Xingcong.
This spoiled young master, relying on his status, had always been arrogant. Now, for some unknown reason, he had provoked a terrifying expert like He Yiming.
An Innate master, a long-time friend, seemed about to perish before their eyes. At this thought, their hearts became even more resentful.
Su Jun picked up the elder and said, "Let's go."
The two walked together, but the direction they took was not Fanghua Pavilion, but Mu Jintian's dwelling.
※※※※
After the numerous Innate experts left, a dense hum erupted from the onlookers in the distance. They were all discussing the recent events, and most of their eyes showed extreme excitement.
They had not only witnessed a great battle between Innate experts, but one that was incredibly brilliant. Especially He Yiming's power, which had surpassed their comprehension.
With one person's strength, he challenged seven experts of the same level, and finally, four of them fled in disarray. Of the remaining three, two were injured, and one was in the most serious condition, not only spitting out three liters of blood but also falling into a coma and nearing death. If he were to die because of this, it would be an even more sensational event.
Although they didn't know why this battle started, at this moment, their hearts were filled with excitement, wanting to proclaim everything they had seen to everyone they knew.
Of course, in the hearts of those Kairong Country soldiers, they even wished that the Innate elder from Tufan Kingdom would die on the spot.
※※※※
He Yiming took Xie Mingjin's hand, and they swiftly arrived at the spot indicated by the elder.
At this moment, the area was in chaos. In particular, a beautiful and distinctive pavilion had many people running around in confusion, perhaps not even knowing what they were running for.
Xie Mingjin's gaze scanned the area. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at a person, saying, "Eldest Brother, it's this person! He was an accomplice; he injured all my guards. If not for him, Sister-in-law wouldn't have been hurt."
He Yiming's eyes shifted, and he immediately recognized the person.
He had seen this person once before when he came here. And this person was the only Acquired Stage Tenth Level Peak expert who followed behind Bu Xingcong!
A flash of anger flickered in He Yiming's eyes, and his surging aura once again soared without restraint.
