From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 135 Qin Wu, the Fat Sheep?

With his heart pierced, the Zhou family elder was naturally powerless to resist. He looked at Qin Wu with eyes full of despair and regret.

He never imagined that Qin Wu, at such a young age, would already possess such strength.

He was a powerful expert at the peak of the initial stage of True Qi cultivation, yet even so, he was easily defeated by Qin Wu. He didn't know what this technique was, nor what its price was; he only knew that he was doomed.

A few breaths later, the Zhou family elder's body slammed heavily to the ground.

Qin Wu also released the Seven Steps Blood Burning Technique, his face flushed, a side effect of the technique. However, it didn't take long for his complexion to return to normal.

Although the Seven Steps Blood Burning Technique still caused great damage to his body, the activation time was not long, and with the foundation of so many martial souls, it was not an easy task to deplete his blood and qi in a short period of time.

Therefore, this battle did not consume a lot of his energy, but it allowed him to experience the domineering power of the Seven Steps Blood Burning Technique.

This also made him realize the limits of his current combat power. After activating the Seven Steps Blood Burning Technique, ordinary peak True Qi Realm cultivators should not pose much of a threat to him. However, experts above the True Qi Realm would probably be much more difficult for him to deal with.

After entering Tianwu Mountain, he had a general understanding of the levels of martial arts.

True Qi is the threshold to transcendence, and after True Qi comes the awakening of the true self and the entry into the realm of the true self.

Once you reach the True Self Realm, you can be considered a strong person even in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

For example, Cang Xuanwu of their Tianwu Mountain is at this level.

However, this is mainly because Tianwu Mountain is no longer the same as it used to be. It has declined for decades, so it is unable to produce stronger experts.

For Tianwu Mountain at its peak, even True Self Realm experts were not their limit. However, these were not so important to Qin Wu.

He cannot cross the limit of the True Self Realm in a short period of time, so the most important thing for him now is to improve his strength, which requires time, as well as battles and experience.

On the other side, upon witnessing the death of the Zhou family elder, the Zhou siblings were overjoyed.

"Senior Brother Qin, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, we would probably be dead."

Zhou Yan cupped his hands in greeting and spoke, his eyes filled with gratitude.

That was a team consisting of a peak True Qi Realm cultivator, a mid-True Qi Realm cultivator, and a large number of True Qi Realm cultivators, all surrounding and attacking him. Even if he had reached the True Qi Realm, let alone his current state, he would be nothing more than a chicken or a dog in front of such a team, utterly powerless to resist.

At the same time, this also chilled him to the bone.

His father actually used such power to capture him and his sister.

It's important to understand that while the Zhou family's power is considerable, this force is not one they can easily muster. Clearly, what his father is about to do is far more serious than they imagined.

Qin Wu looked at the two of them, then spoke thoughtfully:

"It seems your father has quite a few ideas about you, having sent out such a team."

Zhou Yan gave a helpless, bitter smile, then spoke with a solemn expression:

"We really don't know anything about this matter. Judging from the current situation, my father is indeed more ruthless towards my brother and sister than we imagined. Based on our previous guesses, my father's purpose in taking us back must be related to our mother, because our mother is a demon, and a six-tailed white fox."

Qin Wu was not surprised by this.

He was aware of the news circulating in Tianwu Mountain during this period, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After learning that Zhou Yan and his sister had gone down the mountain, he knew that something was probably wrong.

"Whatever your father wants to do, since they are on human territory, they can't go too far, especially now that it's wartime."

"Let's go up the mountain first. Don't come down for the time being. We'll deal with these issues after the war is over."

After hearing Qin Wu's words, the brother and sister exchanged a glance and nodded. They knew that they truly had no other choice now.

They are now being targeted by the Zhou family. Although Qin Wu has indeed resolved the crisis today, they may encounter a similar situation the next time they go down the mountain.

If that were the case, they wouldn't be confident of surviving again, since this situation had already made them realize just how determined their father was to kill them.

After that, Qin Wu said no more and simply returned to Tianwu Mountain.

As for the Zhou siblings, Qin Wu didn't inquire further. After all, he had said what he could and done what he needed to do. He wasn't their caretaker; the rest of their lives were theirs to walk. The outcome was no longer his concern.

He has now advanced to the fourth realm and has been staying on Tianwu Mountain for a long time. During this time, his strength has been steadily improving, but it is still not enough for him because he has seen the limit of the initial stage of True Qi.

Although my current level is still somewhat insufficient, if I stay on Tianwu Mountain step by step, even if I still have a lot of martial arts techniques, it will be extremely difficult to break through.

In this world, besides cultivation and techniques, the most important thing for increasing strength is resources.

For example, the Xuan Yin Pearl he obtained before helped him improve his strength a lot, and it is still effective now.

However, as his strength broke through, the Xuan Yin Pearl became less and less useful to him. And then there was the Tong Sheng Fruit; the combination of the Tong Sheng Fruit and the Xuan Yin Pearl allowed his strength to surge dramatically in a short period.

However, the Tong Sheng Fruit has now been completely consumed, and such a treasure does not even exist on Tianwu Mountain, because these treasures are rare and hard to come by, and it is difficult for a sect like Tianwu Mountain to have any in stock.

Therefore, the only way for him to obtain other rare and precious treasures to improve his strength is to leave Tianwu Mountain and travel to other places.

He was initially worried about the situation at Luanhai Pass, but since he heard news that the situation there had stabilized, he was no longer too concerned and it was time to go down the mountain.

After a few days with this in mind, Qin Wu stabilized his cultivation and then went to find Li Lingfeng.

Upon hearing that Qin Wu was going down the mountain, Li Lingfeng immediately frowned:

"Qin Wu, do you know that there are quite a few villains outside my Tianwu Mountain? Although you resolved the Zhou family's problem last time, the Zhou family may not let it go so easily."

Moreover, your existence has likely been leaked to the Zhou family. If the Zhou family reappears, they might not be the same people who came before.

"Moreover, there may be other forces that covet my Tianwu Mountain. After all, my Tianwu Mountain is a sect with a long history. Although it has declined, its foundation still exists. If things continue like this, it is very likely that other sects will come knocking on our door. That is why I am guarding my Tianwu Mountain."

Leaving now might not be a very good choice.

Qin Wu nodded, indicating that he understood, but then he still spoke:

"Elder, I now believe I have the strength to protect myself, and if I continue to stay on Tianwu Mountain, it will probably not be easy to break through."

Moreover, Tianwu Mountain is now being targeted. If we continue to let them surround the area around Tianwu Mountain, it could cause considerable trouble for our mountain.

However, if I leave alone, the forces that besieged my Tianwu Mountain will inevitably take action. At that time, if I draw away some of them, it will also relieve some of the pressure on Tianwu Mountain.

As for danger, what path of martial arts isn't dangerous? These people dare to cause trouble, so I'd like to test their skills too.

Qin Wu's face was icy, his eyes filled with killing intent. His current strength was not weak. Although he was only at the initial stage of True Qi, the initial stage of True Qi was already considered a strong person by most sects.

Only in established sects like Tianwu Mountain can one be considered an ordinary disciple if they are at the initial stage of True Qi.

Moreover, Qin Wu's current strength is enough to rival or even kill a peak True Qi Realm expert. Therefore, he has absolute confidence in himself, and if those people dare to cause him trouble, he will simply kill them.

After all, Tianwu Mountain has suffered considerable losses of disciples during this period. If Tianwu Mountain weren't currently lacking sufficient strength to clear the surrounding area, they would have already mobilized their entire force to eliminate all those with ulterior motives.

Leaving alone would be an excellent choice, allowing him to both attack and defend as needed.

Seeing that Qin Wu was determined to leave, Li Lingfeng could only nod helplessly, then he spoke solemnly:

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you."

With your current strength, you do indeed have some means of self-preservation. However, since you intend to descend the mountain, I recommend you visit Sword Qi Valley. Recently, some events have occurred there, with sword qi crisscrossing the area, suggesting the presence of a powerful figure. It is a rare opportunity in the martial arts world today.

"If it weren't for the chaos at the customs, Tianwu Mountain would never have stood idly by. You could take this opportunity to visit Sword Qi Valley and see what's going on there. If you can find some fortuitous opportunities there, it will definitely be a good boost to your strength."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu nodded.

Then Li Lingfeng took out a bottle of pills from his pocket and said:

"This contains the most precious treasure of my Tianwu Mountain, the Martial Extreme Pill. The energy it contains is extremely vast. You are the most outstanding disciple of my Tianwu Mountain in a thousand years, and I hope you can make good use of this precious medicine."

These medicines should allow you to further improve your abilities, giving you more confidence when you're out and about.

Upon hearing these words, Qin Wu accepted the pill, his eyes filled with gratitude. He had a rough idea about the pill, but it was just a guess.

He had previously read about the Martial Extreme Pill in the ancient records of Tianwu Mountain. The Martial Extreme Pill was extremely difficult to refine, and during Tianwu Mountain's heyday, there were still some in stock. However, with Tianwu Mountain's decline, it likely no longer had the capacity to obtain the necessary ingredients for refining the Martial Extreme Pill.

So Li Lingfeng was probably right; the Martial Extreme Pill was indeed the last remaining stock of Tianwu Mountain. But now that he was about to leave the mountain, Li Lingfeng actually gave him all of these pills.

"Rest assured, Elder, this disciple will absolutely not bring shame to Tianwu Mountain."

Qin Wu took a deep breath.

The original plan was also delayed because of this bottle of Martial Extreme Pill.

The Martial Extreme Pill is a precious medicine for cultivation. After obtaining the Martial Extreme Pill, he studied it. Just by opening the bottle, he could smell a rich medicinal fragrance, and the medicinal power contained within was self-evident.

Under these circumstances, he naturally did not impulsively leave the mountain, but instead chose to take a Martial Peak Pill first. After all, the medicinal power of the pill needs time to be refined. Rather than leaving the mountain, it would be better to take a Martial Peak Pill first, break through his strength, and then set off, while refining the remaining medicinal power.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. After consuming a Martial Extreme Pill, Qin Wu's internal energy had increased significantly, and even the fusion level of his Martial Soul had been further enhanced. Feeling the power within his body, Qin Wu's eyes were filled with a sense of awe.

"Mid-stage of the initial stage of True Qi. I never imagined that just one pill would allow me to reach such a level."

Although the boost from taking the pill for the first time would be immense, Qin Wu could never have imagined that this pill would allow him to break through to the next level.

He originally thought it would take him several more months to break through, but now it seems that this wealth, companionship, and spiritual ground are indeed extremely important. If there is a sufficient supply of similar pills, let alone the True Self Realm, even the realm above True Self would probably not be a big problem for him.

However, this was just a thought. He already knew how precious the Martial Extreme Pill was, so he knew that obtaining a similar pill elsewhere would not be an easy task.

The next day, he bid farewell to the mountain and descended Tianwu Mountain. At this moment, he exuded a strong aura, and as soon as he came down the mountain, he felt a series of malicious gazes.

Qin Wu simply ignored it and continued walking. After walking for a while, Qin Wu stopped and looked around:

"Everyone, we've been following you for so long, let's get out of here already. I'm in a hurry and don't have time to waste with you."

The surroundings were completely silent, as if no one was there. But Qin Wu stood there calmly, and before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea was up, several figures suddenly emerged.

At the same time these people appeared, several other figures slowly emerged from another location.

And it wasn't just them; almost simultaneously, many other people emerged from various places, staring at each other in a daze.

They thought they were the only ones following along, but clearly they were wrong.

This lucrative target has attracted many eyes.
