Chapter 515 Black Bear's Strike

With a bang!

The Mortal Purifier was kicked flying by Ning Beichen, crashing into the wall behind him with a loud thud.

Ling Jue let out a painful groan, a large mouthful of blood surging to his throat. He still didn't understand how Ning Beichen's first strike had managed to hit him.

It was just this one punch that had disrupted the qi in his dan tian and caused his meridians to ache, leaving him unable to retaliate.

He had never seen this man before, and he was definitely not from the Mortal Purifier realm, as only six of them had come from there.

Moreover, even if he were from the Mortal Purifier realm, it was impossible for him to be so helpless in front of him, without even a chance to fight back.

Therefore, in Ling Jue's mind, this man must have used some kind of trickery to ambush him.

"You think you can defeat me with just this? Impossible!"

Ling Jue hailed from the Mortal Purifier realm, and his strength had reached the peak of the Tianyi Realm's Earthly level. He was even stronger than Zhou Yu had been before, and naturally possessed his own unique abilities.

He quickly regained control of the disordered qi in his dan tian. A vast aura was released from his body. Ling Jue raised his palm high and pressed it towards Ning Beichen.

"Tongtian Palm!"

With a roar, the air in the hall seemed to be compressed by something, giving people a suffocating feeling.

A massive palm print, like the rotating blades of an engine, roared and slapped towards Ning Beichen.

The immense power was as if it could crush everything in this world. Such a powerful palm technique was definitely not a martial art that could exist in this realm.

"Is that all?"

However, Ning Beichen was not intimidated by the Tongtian Palm. Instead, a mysterious excitement surged within his bloodline.

This time, Ning Beichen did not intend to use the Songshan Sword Art, nor did he want to use the martial arts he had obtained from other blessed lands to crush him. Instead, he used his most familiar Xingyi Quan.

"Bear's Intent Black Bear Strike!"

Ning Beichen transformed into a giant bear. Although it wasn't a real bear, the aura it exuded made people feel as if they were seeing a real giant bear standing between heaven and earth, like the master of this world.

Facing Ling Jue's palm, the giant bear seemed provoked. It let out a roar, raised its massive bear paw, and slapped it towards Ling Jue's Tongtian Palm.

With a rumble!

The entire hall let out a deafening roar. A large crystal chandelier that had been hanging from the ceiling fell, causing people in the hall to cry out in alarm.

At this moment.

The bear paw had shattered the Tongtian Palm and continued its momentum, landing on Ling Jue's arm.

Ling Jue let out a scream. His arm was twisted by the bear paw, and it looked like the bones inside had broken.

And at this moment, Ning Beichen's attack was not over. After the bear paw, Ning Beichen directly gave him a bear hug, slammed into Ling Jue, clasped his arms, lifted him up, and then slammed him heavily to the ground.

With a crack!

An unknown number of Ling Jue's bones were broken. He wailed in pain.

But Ling Jue thought this was the end?

No, it was just the beginning.

Ning Beichen, transformed into a ferocious bear, continuously ravaged Ling Jue on the ground.

Punch after punch, kick after kick.

Until Ling Jue was beaten to the point where he could not take care of himself, even his breathing was accompanied by bloody foam, and he was on the verge of death, Ning Beichen finally stopped.

At this moment, Ning Beichen was very excited.

His excitement stemmed from the fact that the martial arts of this realm were not as fragile as he had imagined. With enough power, even techniques like Xingyi Quan could make Mortal Purifiers flee in disarray.

Ning Beichen even felt that the martial arts of this realm were far from as simple as he had thought.

For a period of time, he and Liu Yilin had discussed these issues.

Liu Yilin's explanation was.

Analyzing the myths and legends of the ancient Eastern countries.

In ancient times.

Both immortals and gods had originated from here. Daoist scriptures contained numerous legends of ascension, and Buddhism also spoke of the body transforming into a rainbow, with only the concept of the Heavenly Realm. There was no mention of a Mortal Purifier realm or dimensions.

Of course, the concept of dimensions was a product of modern science and certainly did not exist in the past.

However, a conclusion could be drawn from these speculations.

That is, the things in this realm might not be truly inferior to other places, but they were restricted by laws, preventing cultivators from breaking through the peak of ordinary martial power and progressing from Grandmasters of martial arts to the extraordinary, transcendent, or even the Mortal Purifier.

Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin had also seriously discussed the laws of this realm.

They both agreed that the laws were meant to protect this place, not to restrict it.

If the laws did not impose restrictions, the emergence of a large amount of transcendent power would inevitably cause severe damage to the world. Perhaps this was the purpose of the laws in restricting the emergence of transcendent beings.

However, Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin also agreed that this was a temporary solution, not a fundamental one.

Although the laws restricted the emergence of transcendent power, with human ingenuity, they created other forms of transcendent power: modern weapons. Once these weapons were put into use, they could easily destroy even this realm.

In recent years, some environmental deteriorations, such as accelerated melting of glaciers, frequent earthquakes, climate change, natural disasters, and the appearance of epidemics, were all signs of the world's self-destruction, warnings, or corrections.

If humanity disregarded the consequences, the world would eventually correct itself, perhaps going through another period like the Cretaceous or Ice Age in ancient times.

Putting aside these distant matters, the current Ling Jue had been beaten to the brink of death by Ning Beichen, lying on the ground like a salted fish.

He couldn't understand why he, a powerful Mortal Purifier, couldn't defeat a native of this place.

Weren't the natives of this place said to be ants?

Were there such powerful ants?

However, Ning Beichen paid no mind to his thoughts. He directly used his One Hundred and Eight Fingers to seal his cultivation.

Everyone watched in stunned silence as the defeated Ling Jue, who looked like a dead dog, was dragged across the ground by Ning Beichen. Their mouths were wide open, revealing expressions of disbelief.

Especially Li Wanrong, who looked at Ning Beichen with immense shock, her beautiful face pale with fright.

Those ordinary people who did not know martial arts and had no cultivation could not discern the situation just now. They only saw a flurry of dust and flying debris, and then they saw the once arrogant Ling Jue beaten into a dead dog by Ning Beichen.

But for Li Wanrong, who had cultivation, she had clearly witnessed the entire scene.

Li Wanrong was qualified to comment on how powerful Ling Jue was.

In her eyes, Ling Jue was an invincible existence. At least with her cultivation, she wouldn't even have a chance to make a move in front of Ling Jue.

Ling Jue could subdue her with just a glance. In a way, Ling Jue viewing her as an ant was not an insult.
