I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 140 - 120: Interrogation

"Playing with sabers, huh?" Qin Yuesheng reversed his grip and swung a saber.

Unlike Ruan Linghong’s flashy fast saber, Qin Yuesheng only delivered one strike, neither too fast nor too slow.

This strike carried a long sabre aura, its momentum astounding, even the air felt heavier.

The two blades clashed, and Ruan Linghong’s red saber instantly shattered, unable to withstand Qin Yuesheng’s Evil-Subduing Saber.

"An inner strength expert!" Ruan Linghong’s face changed.

As the saber aura was about to strike his chest, Ruan Linghong spun his hands in a Tai Chi motion, an invisible force spreading from them, barely blocking Qin Yuesheng’s strike.

"Oh?" Qin Yuesheng was rarely surprised.

The old man dressed like a groom before him turned out to be an Inner Power Realm martial artist, which was quite a surprise.

Bang!

Although he blocked Qin Yuesheng’s strike, the following saber force made Ruan Linghong inwardly remark that he couldn’t bear it, forcing him to retreat, using it to disperse the force.

Ruan Linghong, retreating, landed on a banquet table, instantly shattering the table, as the wooden table couldn’t bear the force of his fall.

Splat!

The bandits nearby quickly moved aside, while those who couldn’t dodge in time were injured by the shards of porcelain.

"I just wanted to ask you guys about someone, yet you’re so unwilling to cooperate. Are you all being stubborn with me? Do you have the qualifications for this?" Qin Yuesheng took a step forward, as if splitting mountains with great force, and swung his saber towards Ruan Linghong again.

So what if he’s an inner strength martial artist? Qin Yuesheng had immense strength and an exceptional physique, combined with two orange talents; in a real fight, he was not afraid of any opponent.

Sweat dripped from Ruan Linghong’s forehead; he was well aware of his own level.

A few days ago, when exploring a tomb, he indeed acquired an inner strength heart method and even began cultivating it. Thanks to his years of Outer Forging Perfection, Ruan Linghong had a solid foundation, and he directly reached the Inner Power Realm.

However, he was still quite a distance from the first major level, which left him weaker than Qin Yuesheng in terms of strength, and his inner strength was barely sufficient. How could he fight like this?

But Qin Yuesheng was being unreasonable; seeing the saber aura approach, Ruan Linghong quickly dodged sideways, looking quite desperate.

This immediately stunned all the bandits present; they were well aware of Ruan Linghong’s strength from regular contact.

In this area, there were few who could face off against Ruan Linghong, and it was the first time they saw him so pressured.

What level of strength did this man possess?

Above Outer Forging Perfection? An inner strength expert?

Seeing the youthful Qin Yuesheng filled everyone’s hearts with amazement.

A young expert is the most lethal.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Qin Yuesheng swung his saber like the wind, everything was destroyed wherever the saber aura reached. One table after another was split in half by his saber, and Ruan Linghong only had the strength to escape, not daring to counterattack. His inner strength, compared to Qin Yuesheng, was like Qin Yuesheng’s before Zuo Zonghao, with a huge disparity.

Whoosh!

Ruan Linghong lagged in dodging; the sleeve was instantly torn by the saber aura. If he were any slower, it would have been his arm that he lost.

Forced into a corner, Ruan Linghong suddenly became determined, looking as though he made some kind of decision, piquing Qin Yuesheng’s curiosity; it seemed like he was preparing to counterattack.

Ruan Linghong swiftly retrieved a pill wrapped in yellow paper from his chest, unraveling the paper with lightning speed before swallowing it whole.

Gulp, gulp!

Upon swallowing the mysterious pill, Ruan Linghong’s body underwent a transformation, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. His clothes burst apart, transforming him into a hulking brute in the blink of an eye.

His long hair waved even without wind, exuding an overwhelming aura.

"Whoa, what on earth did this guy take? The effect is so exaggerated." Qin Yuesheng was secretly astonished.

The other day when Ruan Linghong went tomb raiding for treasures, he actually discovered three items.

The inner strength heart method was one.

This pill was another.

And a black ring was on his hand.

He had tested the pill’s effects on a captive yesterday. Just a bit of powder could make an ordinary person, who had never trained in martial arts, go berserk and unleash immense strength, capable of tearing a person apart.

At this moment, if he didn’t take the pill, Ruan Linghong would certainly die under Qin Yuesheng’s saber, so he had no choice but to make a desperate gamble.

After taking the pill, Ruan Linghong’s muscles were as hard as rock; his feet planted firmly on the ground, even causing cracks beneath him.

Boom!

Suddenly, Ruan Linghong launched a punch at Qin Yuesheng, not only his strength but even his speed had increased significantly, and in an instant, he was in front of Qin Yuesheng.

Qin Yuesheng had a sudden idea, sheathed his saber and switched to using his left palm to strike, intending to confront the reinforced human head-on.

Bang!

At the moment their fists and palms collided, a wave of energy instantly spread out madly from the center of the two of them, rushing in all directions.

After a brief pause, Ruan Linghong flew out like a cannonball, spurting blood mid-air, with his entire arm twisted beyond recognition.

Boom!

Ruan Linghong crashed heavily to the ground, yet did not die on the spot. Despite his severe injuries, he instead seemed unbothered, roaring as he climbed up from the ground, appearing as wild as a beast.

Qin Yuesheng’s expression turned serious. It seemed that the pill Ruan Linghong had just consumed enhanced not only his strength and speed but also his physique.

Ruan Linghong’s physique had obviously become more resilient. Otherwise, given his original physical condition, he would have surely died from Qin Yuesheng’s palm strike.

"Roar!" Ruan Linghong charged out again, his twisted arm flailing like reeds in the wind.

Qin Yuesheng no longer held back. Since this fellow was so resilient, he might as well see just how much he could endure.

Great Vajra Palm!

Qin Yuesheng unleashed his inner strength, striking out with a palm, accompanied by an apparition and the sound of chanting.

Qin Yuesheng’s palm instantly transformed into a golden palm seal, whistling towards Ruan Linghong.

Ruan Linghong struck out with a single fist, venting all his anger, but in the face of absolute power, anger was useless. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Boom!

When Qin Yuesheng’s golden palm seal collided with Ruan Linghong’s fist, the violent inner strength surged into Ruan Linghong’s body.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

Starting from Ruan Linghong’s arm, it was as if firecrackers were bursting, until finally, Qin Yuesheng’s palm strike pierced through his chest.

"Ugh!" Ruan Linghong’s eyes gradually lost their luster, staring at Qin Yuesheng, before his head tilted, and his entire body went limp.

Ruan Linghong, dead.

At the moment of Ruan Linghong’s death, all the guests felt a chill in their hearts. With the strength Ruan Linghong displayed, he was already considered the pinnacle of martial power at the scene, yet even he was no match for Qin Yuesheng. Who else could possibly resist Qin Yuesheng?

Casually tossing Ruan Linghong’s body aside, Qin Yuesheng asked in an extremely calm tone, "I’m actually a very kind person, and I didn’t originally intend to kill anyone. I’m only here to ask about the whereabouts of ’Wo Lai Ye’. Does anyone know?"

The crowd remained silent, not out of fear, but worried that if they spoke up and claimed ignorance, this young man might suddenly attack them unprovoked.

The Red Saber Elder was already dead, and those present urgently needed a new leader. The few mountain thieves who had been sitting at the same table as Ruan Linghong were among the highest in status there. They exchanged glances before slowly stepping out together.

"Young hero, that ’Wo Lai Ye’ is extremely mysterious. Though everyone knows he’s hiding in Meteor Mountain, possibly among one of the strongholds, no one knows exactly who he is."

Qin Yuesheng looked at the speaker: "No clues at all? I heard ’Wo Lai Ye’ has close ties with several strongholds in Meteor Mountain, for instance, the Red Saber Stronghold. Who here is the Village Chief of the Red Saber Stronghold? Let them come out and speak with me."

The crowd’s eyes all turned to the now lifeless and crumpled form of Ruan Linghong, discarded by Qin Yuesheng like trash.

"Young hero, the person you just killed was him," Ma Erniang said awkwardly.

Qin Yuesheng: "..."

Damn, why was a Village Chief so quick to get angry? Couldn’t he let his subordinates take the lead? Why did he have to charge first himself, making me mistake him for a lackey?

Originally, Qin Yuesheng was puzzled as to why a lackey could possess the strength of the Inner Power Realm, which seemed too absurd. But it turned out the one he killed was indeed the Village Chief of the Red Saber Stronghold.

Now there was trouble; the only informed person was gone, and he would have to find another one.

"Is there only one person in charge of the Red Saber Stronghold?" Qin Yuesheng asked.

He shook the Evil-Subduing Saber in his hand: "If there is, come out quickly. If you don’t make things clear for me today, no one here will leave the Red Saber Stronghold alive."

Having witnessed Qin Yuesheng’s strength, naturally, no one doubted his actions, nor dared to resist him.

After all, even the supposedly perfected Outer Forging Ruan Linghong had perished at Qin Yuesheng’s hands. What could they do?

A single impulsive act would only add another soul to Qin Yuesheng’s saber.

Under Qin Yuesheng’s intimidation, the second and third leaders of the Red Saber Stronghold were quickly identified by many people. They were the two unassuming ordinary men who shared a table with Ruan Linghong.

They stepped out from the crowd, facing Qin Yuesheng with expressions that showed they were both angry and afraid but dared not show it.

"I heard ’Wo Lai Ye’ has dealings with your Red Saber Stronghold. Surely, you’ve seen him. Tell me about him, why does he frequently come and go from your stronghold?"

The second leader of the Red Saber Stronghold quickly replied, "Young hero, from whom did you hear such false news? ’Wo Lai Ye’ is a scoundrel. We are a band of mountain thieves, unacquainted with him. Why would he come to our stronghold? Isn’t he afraid we’d capture him and turn him in to the authorities? In Cyan Yang City, the bounty for ’Wo Lai Ye’ is quite tempting, who wouldn’t be enticed by it?"

Qin Yuesheng: "Oh? Is that so?"

Swoosh!

With a swift slash, the man’s arm instantly fell to the ground.
