Chapter 281: Chapter 193: Qianyuan City! Near Top-Grade Martial Art: Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand
Like lightning, it tore across the sky.
Jiang Shu’s Primordial Power surged wildly within him. The Thunder Peng Netherworld Wings flapped several times, shooting him into the clouds at a terrifying speed, flying towards a distant point.
In a matter of breaths, he was a hundred miles away!
Within the clouds, the sound of thunder rumbled faintly.
After quickly swallowing several Qi Replenishing Pills, Jiang Shu flapped his wings and flew another hundred miles.
It was only when the Primordial Power inside his body was nearly depleted that he finally retracted his wings, tucked the rocket tube back into his Storage Bag, and landed on the wide river surface, plunging into the water and swiftly making his escape.
Feeling the icy cold river water of winter, Jiang Shu dove deep, blood seeping from every pore on his body. Even his handsome face bore deep claw marks.
But he paid them no mind; as he took the Elixir, his Primordial Power gradually recovered, and all external injuries vanished.
In the past six months, his strength had truly soared by leaps and bounds.
Physical cultivation had broken through the void, achieving an indestructible body seen only in deities!
Spiritual Cultivation had reached eternal serenity!
Primordial Power cultivation was at the peak of the Acupoint Passage Realm!
Liang Yuewu, who once toyed with him like squishing an ant, now bore minor injuries from Jiang Shu’s blows, with several clear bruises on his arm.
And when he finally took to the sky, Liang Yuewu could only scowl in rage, as Jiang Shu’s leaping figure was instantly left far behind him.
Thunder Peng Netherworld Wings!
With just the initial mastery, he could already stand undefeated in battle against warriors of the Detachment Realm.
There’s less than a year left...
Gliding through the river like a fish, Jiang Shu deployed his Concealing Steps, concealing his breath, and reflected on the gains and losses of the recent battle.
If neither party used Martial Arts or Treasure, he should already be able to hold his own briefly against early-stage Detachment Realm warriors.
However, in reality, that’s not how battles between powerhouses played out.
Liang Yuewu had been overconfident, harboring the desire to capture Jiang Shu alive, and that was why it had come to this. Against an opponent unconcerned with life or death, all Jiang Shu could do was run.
Martial Arts... Treasure...
These were currently of utmost priority.
Considering the options of Qianyuan City and Elder Ming Lei’s Tomb Mansion in his mind, Jiang Shu made a choice, deciding to head to Qianyuan City first.
One reason was to understand the current situation of Elder Ming Lei’s Tomb Mansion. After all, it was unknown how much time had passed since Liang Tingbo’s last entry. If other Martial Artists had also learned of this place and he rashly went there, it would only put him in grave danger.
The other reason was that the Inner Circle’s prohibitions were clearly not something an Acupoint Passage Realm Martial Artist could break through. It would either require an Array Master with knowledge of the formations or a powerful warrior with the battle strength of the Detachment Realm.
The urgency to increase his battle strength was pressing.
Sensing his current location, Jiang Shu once again sped forward until he reached Kunzhou City, where he transformed his appearance, purchased maps, low-level Cultivation Method, and some other necessary items.
Qianyuan City was not under the jurisdiction of the Da Jing Dynasty.
Therefore, no large ships or trade caravans had it as their final destination.
To go there, the final leg of the journey had to be made on his own.
Having confirmed the route, Jiang Shu set off directly. After several transfers, day and night without rest, the mastery of the Thunder Peng Netherworld Wings improved rapidly during the long journey.
In less than half a month, Qianyuan City, which ordinary Martial Artists would need more than half a year to reach, appeared in Jiang Shu’s sight.
Dusk fell, and the blood-red sun descended.
In front of the continuous mountain ranges, the vast city lay quietly at the heart of the plains.
Its area was far larger than that of a normal provincial city. Unlike the high and majestic walls of a provincial city, the walls of Qianyuan City were only three meters high, and there were hardly any Martial Artists guarding the city gates.
All four city gates seemed to be open all the time, allowing silhouettes to dart through and quickly enter.
After ensuring there was no one around for the time being, Jiang Shu retracted his wings and descended slowly from the clouds.
He transformed into a middle-aged man. His Primordial Power condensed visibly outside his body, revealing at a glance that he had reached the peak of the Acupoint Passage Realm—clearly not someone to be trifled with.
From the information he had, he knew that in Qianyuan City, the younger one was, the more they would incur jealousy.
This was because Qianyuan City was situated at the junction of three great dynasties. Its unique geographic environment meant that high-quality Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts constantly flowed through.
Essence Yuan Great Pills, which outside only large families and clans would possess, became the basic unit of currency here.
In the auction houses, there might even be Treasure up for grabs.
Such opportunities attracted countless Martial Artists to come here, and the geniuses of the Dragon and Tiger List from the three great dynasties would come here to advance further.
Being young, in Qianyuan City, meant you could be a genius from the Dragon and Tiger List.
For the Martial Artists of Qianyuan City, who were essentially fugitives wanted by the three great dynasties, killing a genius from the Dragon and Tiger List would not only bring substantial gain but also greater fame!
Jiang Shu’s figure merged with the crowd, eventually entering a restaurant.
Along the way, he sensed dozens of gazes scanning over him. However, the surging Primordial Power around his body deterred others from taking any action.
No one knew whether those entering Qianyuan City were fleeing thousands of miles from the dynasty’s pursuit, with nowhere to run, or were local despots coming here in search of fortune.
One Essence Yuan Great Pill can only afford a three-day stay. The prices of this restaurant are outrageously high.
Even Jiang Shu, who could shuttle between Two Realms, with alchemy skills reaching top-grade and the ability to earn money in extraordinary ways, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth at that moment. One Essence Yuan Great Pill was worth a thousand taels of gold in the Da Jing Dynasty, which in Xuanxing was equivalent to twenty-five million Xia Country currency!
