Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 71 - 68 Cheng Xin
Ji Jingqiu's Qi Force flowed mightily within, like a great river, pouring down along the mountain paths and river courses.
This punch was delivered with complete satisfaction, fully showcasing the results of his intense training over the past few days.
Whether it was the initial success of the "Knife Carving and Axe Chiseling," which made his landscape clearer and enabled his Qi Force to flow faster and stronger than martial artists of the same level,
or the mastery of the "Store the momentum of a thousand feet, in the blink of an eye" Divine Form, both contributed to the instant defeat of the long-haired man moments ago.
*And he wasn't sure if it was an illusion.*
*That man seemed to be a martial artist who had broken through the third limit, but compared to him, his body was noticeably weaker.*
Ji Jingqiu looked at the last woman with short hair.
"I am Cheng Xin."
Cheng Xin suddenly introduced herself,
"Cheng Yan is my brother, although we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years."

*People with high spiritual cultivation generally have good memories.*
When Ji Jingqiu heard the name "Cheng Yan," he thought of a figure that had engaged in hand-to-hand combat with his senior brother, a figure that seemed almost superhuman to him at the time.
He scrutinized Cheng Xin, "The Order Office's records show Cheng Yan has no relatives."
Cheng Xin showed no expression on her face, "Because from our grandfather's generation onward, our family has been undocumented."
Ji Jingqiu nodded, "Your grandfather was a criminal and never faced justice."
Cheng Xin was silent for a moment and then said softly, "But that has nothing to do with us siblings."
The biggest source of undocumented individuals in the Federation was fugitives, even if they changed their identity and sought a new planet to live on.
But iris scans, DNA... the Federation's database was the first mountain that was hard to cross.
The children born to fugitives would also become undocumented, and it would be challenging for them to regain identification, even though legally, Cheng Xin and Cheng Yan had done nothing wrong.
Cheng Xin raised her head.
It was a narrow alley, barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side, cutting straight across the sky above.
"When we were kids, we liked to look up at the sky, but from the lower levels, we couldn't see stars or much light. We had no road, no path to take."
She looked down, fixed her gaze on Ji Jingqiu, and repeated, "We had no path to take."
Ji Jingqiu nodded.
*Yes, life never offers that many paths. For the past sixteen years, only two paths lay before him.*
To persist.
To die.
Ji Jingqiu asked, "So, he kidnapped a girl younger than you?"
Cheng Xin's muscles tightened, and she glared coldly at him, "I wouldn't dare to compare myself to the Star Group's Lou Family's legitimate daughter."
Ji Jingqiu stared at her and said slowly,
"My senior brother subdued your brother, saying your brother was deliberately seeking death.
If I guess correctly, both you and your brother served the Star Group, so the person who really caused your brother's death is obvious."
He assumed a combat skill stance and said,
"You don't actually need to say much. You just want to fight me, right?"
Cheng Xin took a deep breath, her gaze cold and words firm,
"Right!"
No need for many reasons, just a pure fight.
If it required deciding life and death, so be it!
"Come on. Martial artists speak with their fists."
Cheng Xin suddenly lunged forward, rushing towards Ji Jingqiu. She threw a simple direct punch, its force broad and fierce, accompanied by a piercing whistle!
Ji Jingqiu raised his hand and lightly blocked the heavy punch, retreating to dissipate the force.
*The punch didn't seem as powerful as he had imagined.*
Cheng Xin's figure moved swiftly as the wind, suddenly lifting her leg.
The sound of the wind was dull, as if that well-proportioned long leg were a sharp axe, its blade striking down with a violently unleashed stance!
Ji Jingqiu raised his hands again to block, his feet sinking down, and the ground beneath him cracked inch by inch, demonstrating the strength of that leg.
Yet Ji Jingqiu still showed no signs of strain. His blocking hands didn't even tremble, as immovable as Taishan.
This scene shocked Cheng Xin, causing her spirit to waver.
She was attacking in anger, holding nothing back, and with the support of combat skills, how could a mere third limit Ji Jingqiu receive it so easily?
The Five Limits of a Heavenly Person, each limit represented an achievement of the body.
She was only one step away from refining her Reincarnation Body, and had even taken many Body Refining Enhancement Potions sponsored by the group, so how could Ji Jingqiu, a native of East Three Brilliance, not only not fall behind in physique but even forcibly suppress her?
*Before she could think more,*
Ji Jingqiu burst from the cracked ground, sweeping away the hand blocking before him, while the other hand pressed heavily against her face to the side.
With a loud bang,
dirt and stones flew as Cheng Xin's back of the head smashed a big dent into the wall, the cracks spreading like a spider web.
She roared in anger, her arms like whips or axes, attacking the weak point of Ji Jingqiu's throat!
Ji Jingqiu leaned back, narrowly evading, and the hand gripping Cheng Xin's face pushed heavily again.
A booming sound echoed once more.
Cheng Xin's Qi Force exploded, finally breaking free from Ji Jingqiu's grasp on her face. Her figure, like an ink shadow, melted into the night, silently circling behind Ji Jingqiu, her fist-wind whistling sharp!
Ji Jingqiu turned his head, trying to catch Cheng Xin's punch, but she dodged it, shifting her fist into a claw aimed at Ji Jingqiu's neck.
*At this point, Ji Jingqiu finally felt a long-missed pressure from Cheng Xin.*
*Even when sparring with his senior brother, even if the senior brother didn't hold back, he knew in his heart that his senior brother wouldn't truly hurt him sufficiently. The pressure was only about two or three-tenths.*
*This was why he had been sweeping through tasks from the Order Office recently.*
*The progress from real close combat was incomparable to sparring.*
*And Cheng Xin's strength was the strongest he had seen under the True Seed.*
*Her footwork, moves, rhythm, and other aspects surpassed Lin Donghe and others by more than a little.*
*At this moment, going full out, she was actually suppressing him.*
*After realizing her physique was inferior, Cheng Xin decisively chose to fight speed with speed, leaving him no opportunity to engage in grappling.*
*If it weren't for the narrow alley they chose themselves, Ji Jingqiu would likely not only fall behind but also suffer more.*
At this time, Ji Jingqiu maintained high intensity focus, countering with the Divine Tiger Skill.
The Divine Tiger Skill had a distinct system for alley fighting, which Ji Jingqiu was deploying for the first time.
As he gradually adapted to Cheng Xin's attack rhythm, he began to counterattack, each punch and kick carrying the momentum of a thousand feet.
With his Qi Force flowing through the mountains within him, it silently matched the intent of the thousand feet, adding even more power!
Cheng Xin gritted her teeth tightly.
*She understood why Pei Hanyang hadn't even taken a single move. The resilience of this man's physique, even she, at the fourth limit, couldn't match!*
*And most importantly…*
*This guy… this guy… this guy was improving rapidly!*
*He was treating her as a sparring partner!*
Inside Cheng Xin, a thunderous sound erupted, she forcibly stimulated her organs with Qi and blood, unleashing her strongest strike amidst the ripping shriek of air, her fist like a crane's beak, striking directly at Ji Jingqiu's throat.
In a flash, Ji Jingqiu used Mind Control to command his Life Body. Deeply rooted Spiritual Cultivation allowed him to forcibly shift his body, making Cheng Xin's strike miss and hit his shoulder.
He seized the opportunity, his direct punch enveloped in a tiger's roar-like dull wind, hitting straight at Cheng Xin's chest.
Cheng Xin's face turned pale instantly, her chest slightly caving in, the sound of bones cracking was heard.
Seeing her strike couldn't defeat Ji Jingqiu, and instead, he had seized the chance to break her own ribcage, Cheng Xin hesitated no more, leaping onto the wall to swiftly escape.
Ji Jingqiu didn't chase her.
He slowly straightened his body, his expression calm, Qi Force like a flood dragon swimming through water, soothing the disturbance in his body's Qi and blood, watching Cheng Xin clutching her chest as she fled in disarray.
Using Mind Control to forcibly move his Life Body injured his tendons a bit.
And Cheng Xin's strike did cause him some harm.
Moreover, although this woman's physique wasn't as strong as his, she was nimble and agile, making the chance of capturing her in the city quite small.
Besides, if she couldn't beat him today, their gap would only grow with time.
He stood in place, regulating his breathing, feeling the turbulent flow of Qi Force within.
*This was a battle worth savoring, he used the pressure from Cheng Xin to refine his shortcomings, compensating for certain weaknesses.*
*This feeling made him feel like an unpolished stone, being honed by the internal and external world.*
*He had improved once again.*
