Su Que pointed his toes, his figure floating as he caught up with Xu Tianzhi, whom he had struck flying.

That move Xu Tianzhi made just now, seemingly burning his life essence and flesh, then erupting with tremendous power, piqued his interest.

The punch just now only broke Xu Tianzhi’s ribs and injured his Five Viscera, but did not kill him.

"Roar!"

Just as Su Que was about to pounce to where Xu Tianzhi fell, a roar burst out.

From where Xu Tianzhi fell, a large burst of sparks suddenly flew upwards.

It was Xu Tianzhi suddenly standing up from the ground.

At this moment, his figure expanded once again.

His whole body’s muscles rose like rocks, and his skin exuded a deathly gray color.

Each blood vessel was like a small purple snake, bulging under his skin.

Now, he stood at the height of ten feet, resembling a small giant.

His head of white hair seemed to have suddenly grown a lot, rising and flying with the aura emanating from his body, reaching towards the sky.

His pair of eyes were blood-red like a wild beast’s.

They were filled with ruthlessness, completely devoid of any rationality.

Originally, between his brows was a strip of vertical blue light.

At this moment, between his brows was a swirl of blue light.

Su Que, upon seeing Xu Tianzhi’s appearance, instantly recalled Bai Wuji, whom he saw in the county city in the past.

Back then, after Bai Wuji overloaded with Divine Power, his figure expanded, and his eyes became vicious.

He turned into a monster, losing all rationality, oblivious to pain or fear, only knowing slaughter.

However, now Xu Tianzhi, being able to harness more of the Divine Power of Mother of Wusheng, became even more terrifying.

"Roar!"

Xu Tianzhi, with blood-red eyes glaring at Su Que, let out another roar and his figure shot towards Su Que.

His gray-white skin suddenly became blood-red once more.

’Can his rationality be restored?’

Su Que pondered in his heart, then threw a punch towards Xu Tianzhi.

Although Xu Tianzhi’s strength had increased, and his body technique had become much faster.

However, Su Que’s punch employed both the Seven Injuries Fist and Sunflower Manual.

The fist shot out like lightning, before Xu Tianzhi could strike back, Su Que’s fist pierced through the gap in Xu Tianzhi’s defense, crashing onto his face.

Xu Tianzhi’s sinewy neck twisted first, then his whole body was carried along by his head, flying off to the side.

Swoosh!

After Xu Tianzhi flew a short distance, he slid across the ground for a stretch.

Scooping up all the ash and fire along the way.

Su Que pointed his toe again, catching up.

Seeing that after being hit by such a punch, Xu Tianzhi’s eyes were still blood-red and devoid of reason.

Su Que repeatedly deployed the Seven Injuries Fist, striking at Xu Tianzhi!

Suddenly, hundreds and thousands of fist shadows appeared, bringing with them a fist wind, overwhelming Xu Tianzhi.

Xu Tianzhi’s mighty body, standing at a height of ten feet, suddenly revealed numerous fist marks.

The Seven Injuries Fist contained seven different powers.

One of them was the fierce Fist Force.

Striking Xu Tianzhi’s body, it revealed a series of sunken fist marks.

Another was Soft Force, which penetrated Xu Tianzhi’s Inner Armor, Gang Qi, and Protective Technique, plunging into Xu Tianzhi’s Five Viscera.

Xu Tianzhi’s Protective Force in the Five Viscera was scattered by the Fist Force of the Seven Injuries Fist.

His Five Viscera were hit by the Seven Injuries Fist Force, immediately showing cracks, bleeding profusely.

The blood surged upward, spraying from Xu Tianzhi’s mouth.

Yet, Xu Tianzhi’s eyes still held only ferocity, with no signs of pain or fear.

At first, with Divine Power enhancing him, Xu Tianzhi was completely mindless, no matter how much he was struck, his reasoning couldn’t be restored.

’I can only kill him... As for the Martial Arts Secret Manual he cultivated, we’ll see if it’s in his dwelling.’

Su Que released Divine Intent from his brow, sweeping over Xu Tianzhi’s body.

Upon discovering nothing hidden on Xu Tianzhi of value or secret manuals, he exerted himself fully with the Seven Injuries Fist, striking down on Xu Tianzhi.

With each punch, three Divine Intents in Xu Tianzhi’s body exploded.

A surge of Destruction Fist Intent emerged from Su Que’s fist.

As Su Que’s punch struck Xu Tianzhi’s body, the surge rushed inwards!

Xu Tianzhi’s Five Viscera were smashed to pieces by this surge of Fist Intent.

The Divine Power of Mother of Wusheng in Xu Tianzhi’s brow seemed to want to save the world, pouring down from his brow towards his ruined flesh, as if trying to maintain his body.

But, when this Divine Power was confronted by Su Que’s Destruction Fist Intent, it vanished instantly.

After Su Que struck consecutively six times, the surges of Destruction Fist Intent finally had no place to go, bursting Xu Tianzhi’s Divine Power-transformed body.

Boom!

With a sound, the massive body of Xu Tianzhi swelled instantaneously and exploded!

Flesh, bone fragments, and white hair blasted outwards in all directions.

Then, nearly everything returned to calm.

In the forest, only the sound of flames burning remained.

Li Xuanji watched from afar, seeing Xu Tianzhi was dead, then walked over and clasped fists to thank Su Que.

Su Que said to Li Xuanji, "Send people to capture the White Lotus Sect remnants, and inquire where Xu Tianzhi’s abode is, and where his Martial Arts Secret Manual and mysterious diagrams might be hidden."

Li Xuanji nodded upon hearing, promptly instructing his soldiers to capture the White Lotus Sect remnants and find out where Xu Tianzhi has been staying these few days.

About half an hour later, Li Xuanji informed Su Que of the five places Xu Tianzhi had stayed in recent days.

Listening to this, Su Que immediately darted towards these places.

Now, as the Peak of Divine Realm, his spiritual power was formidable.

By releasing his spirit, he could roughly perceive the shape of objects.

Thus, his search was much faster.

After continuously searching three places, Su Que finally found the secret manuals Xu Tianzhi collected at the third location.

Among them was the Nine Yang Divine Skill and two sets of Divine Intent Diagrams.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill was an old book.

Besides the cultivation method, it also contained Xu Tianzhi’s annotations.

Looking through it, Su Que thought despite Xu Tianzhi being the head of this Evil Cult, the White Lotus Sect, he was also a pinnacle Martial Arts Grandmaster.

A century-long Martial Arts life was not lived in vain.

Though Xu Tianzhi’s strength was inferior to his, his insight into Martial Arts offered unique perspectives.

Just by reading a few pages of annotations, Su Que felt a new thought had opened, greatly benefitting him.

Su Que had an extremely high Talent Value, with quick memory and comprehension, in less than the time of one tea, he finished reading the Nine Yang Divine Skill and Xu Tianzhi’s annotations, committing them to memory.

’Indeed, the sudden explosion of Xu Tianzhi’s Martial Arts, turning his body entirely red, derived from the Nine Yang Divine Skill.’

Su Que thought after finishing the secret manual.

Though he had entered the Martial Arts world for a short time, his insight into Martial Arts was also quite profound.

When he fought Xu Tianzhi, he vaguely felt the flow of Xu Tianzhi’s True Qi and speculated that the martial art that forcefully elevated his power evolved from the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Su Que activated the sinister fire of the Sunflower Manual, igniting the Nine Yang Divine Skill secret manual in his hand.

Then, he tucked away the two sets of Divine Intent Diagrams into his garments.

These two sets of Divine Intent Diagrams, one depicted various forms of Mother of Wusheng, the other portrayed a fantastical, colorful world.

The world contained various landscapes that could be integrated into the body.

After a mental scan, confirming nothing else was missed, Su Que employed Lightweight Skill, leaving the place.

...

It was now late at night.

Su Que returned to his cave and changed back into scholarly robes, then darted towards Jiannan Prefecture City.

Because Jiannan Prefecture City had a night market running all night and had ample military forces, the city gates weren’t closed at night.

Su Que slipped into the city, his body technique so fast the city guards couldn’t see him.

He went directly to the residence, at the side of the wall, performing a Dry Land Onion Pulling.

His body lightly rose and landed inside the house.

He did a mental scan and found Su Jing sound asleep.

Then he stealthily moved towards his room.

Entering the room, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to contemplate the "Nine Yang Divine Skill."
