Lin Zheyu felt a shock in his heart, his arm slightly numb.

He hadn't used any Qi Blood techniques; he had merely blocked normally, taking the opponent's blow head-on, all to personally assess the opponent's strength.

"He should be a Martial Artist who has broken through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm with Qi Blood Four Transformations. The Qi Blood power within him isn't much stronger than the likes of the Ya Army."

"However, he likely practices a powerful Body Refining Technique, granting him terrifying strength and bodily defense."

Lin Zheyu sized up the opponent, analyzing his cultivation technique and measuring the disparity in their strength.

He did not immediately launch an attack; his primary task was to stall for time, waiting for Liang Yuhan and the others to completely leave.

Without their burden, Lin Zheyu could escape at any time with his current speed.

"Kid, if you surrender, you might suffer less. Otherwise, hehe..."

The burly man grinned, a domineering aura suddenly rising from him.

This aura was similar to Lin Zheyu's, but even stronger.

He had a wild confidence.

As an experienced Martial Artist of the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, although he had only broken through with Qi Blood Four Transformations, he had spent decades and a lot of money on Body Refining Techniques.

The burly man was confident that, with his powerful physique and strength, few in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm could match him.

"Well?"

Lin Zheyu looked at the opponent expressionlessly and spoke calmly.

He gripped the Golden Scale Blade tightly, his body's Qi Blood flowing slowly, ready to strike.

"Heh!"

The man let out a light chuckle, his Qi Blood power exploding violently.

Bang!

The burly man leapt up suddenly, swinging his heavy hammer down with terrifying momentum. The massive iron hammer whirled, stirring up a fierce wind howling through the mountain forest.

Lin Zheyu lightly tapped his toes, floating backward like a weightless feather, narrowly avoiding the heavy hammer.

"Hmm, not bad."

The burly man snorted coldly, his heavy hammer swung with a fierce wind.

His attacks were ferocious, like a humanoid beast, the heavy hammer in his hand felt weightless.

Every swing kicked up gusts of wild wind.

In their clash, the towering trees in the mountain forest fell one by one, smashed apart by the burly man's heavy hammer.

Under the hammer's bombardment, Lin Zheyu was repeatedly forced back a few steps, then skillfully navigated around him with masterful Lightweight Skill.

No matter how the burly man attacked, he seemed like an indomitable cockroach.

Utilizing powerful Lightweight Skill and agile Body Technique, every time the opponent struck, he borrowed the force to distance himself.

"Damn it, just dodging like this, what kind of hero are you? If you're a man, face me head-on!"

Frustrated from his ineffective assaults, the burly man panted heavily, irate, couldn't help but curse angrily.

Lin Zheyu, on the other hand, appeared calm, without a hint of strain.

In the recent fight, he hadn't utilized sixfold Qi Blood, purely relying on his formidable Lightweight Skill to evade.

He also used his strong physique, displacing some of the force with Lightweight Skill, to endure the opponent's attacks.

The opponent was indeed fierce, but his Body Technique and Lightweight Skill were pathetic.

No matter how strong he was, if he couldn't land a hit, it was all for naught.

"Is this all you've got?"

"Your Pei Family really produces nothing but trash. The last person was; you are too, all worthless."

With a contemptuous glance, Lin Zheyu looked at the opponent and said coolly.

"Damn you, looking for death!"

Feeling Lin Zheyu's scorn, the burly man was furious.

A Martial Artist from a small place dared to look down on him; the burly man intended to showcase the might of noble family Martial Artists.

He pulled out an Elixir from his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

Lin Zheyu kept a close watch on the man's actions, and at the moment the burly man brought out the Elixir, he swiftly advanced, swinging the Golden Scale Blade with a swift slash at his waist.

His speed was incredibly fast, the slash aiming for the opponent's waist.

No matter what kind of Elixir it was, he had no intention of letting the other consume it.

"Hmph!"

The burly man snorted coldly, a slight smirk on his lips.

As Lin Zheyu closed in, his Qi Blood power exploded violently.

The aura on the burly man rose rapidly, the veins and tendons on his body bulging like steel cables, swelling once more.

His whole frame suddenly expanded significantly.

"Die!"

The burly man roared, swinging his heavy hammer down forcefully.

Though large, giving the impression of a reckless brute, he possessed rich combat experience.

The Elixir he had just retrieved was dispensable; consuming it enhanced his strength, but not consuming it really effected no change.

He had other means.

Whoosh—

The heavy hammer came whistling toward Lin Zheyu's face, the wind rushing at him.

Lin Zheyu maintained an expressionless face, not a trace of panic.

His sixfold Qi Blood erupted violently, his speed soaring instantly, his body suddenly becoming stationary, retreating at an even faster speed defying inertia.

The heavy hammer crashed loudly onto a nearby tree, smashing the trunk to pieces, shattering it explosively.

"Indeed, even I managed to obtain techniques for temporary power boosts, there's no reason these noble family Martial Artists wouldn't have them."

"I just don't know how their cultivation techniques handle the Essence, Qi, and Spirit consumption, and whether there are significant side effects."

While rapidly retreating, Lin Zheyu still had the presence of mind to scrutinize the burly man.

He was quite curious about the cultivation techniques of these noble family Martial Artists, for should he obtain them, his strength could enhance rapidly.

"So fast!"

"Is this guy really from the barbarous lands? Such terrifying speed, extraordinary mastery in Body Technique, even in Ruyang City, few could achieve this."

"No, possibly none at all!"
