"Kid, how dare you injure my disciple, you're seeking death!"
Peng Bachi struck the ground hard with his staff, his imposing aura erupting.
In an instant, a fierce wind swept through the entire room, scattering the bedding and other items on the bed.
Qin Yi, Le Wushuang, and Jiang Xiongba's clothes billowed in the wind!
The next moment, he was about to attack Qin Yi!
Jiang Xiongba moved swiftly, stepping in front of Qin Yi and spreading his arms to block Peng Bachi!
Peng Bachi stopped before Jiang Xiongba, his killing intent palpable. "Jiang Xiongba, get out of my way! If you block me again, don't blame me for dealing with both of you!"
"Mr. Qin is a Grandmaster, Peng Bachi. I advise you not to court death!" Jiang Xiongba said.
Peng Bachi: "..."
Le Wushuang: "!!!"
After a moment, regaining his senses, Peng Bachi threw his head back and laughed, "Haha, Jiang Xiongba, do you take me for a three-year-old child? Him, a Grandmaster? Do you think Grandmasters grow on trees, that anyone can reach that level?"
A Grandmaster was considered a formidable expert in the martial arts world.
Many people, throughout their entire lives, cultivated until death and still could not become a Grandmaster!
In Peng Bachi's memory, the Grandmasters in their entire Southern Province martial arts world numbered no more than five, and each of them was very old!
For a young man like Qin Yi, in his twenties or not even thirty, even if he had been cultivating since birth, it would be impossible to become a Grandmaster at such an age!
Le Wushuang remained silent, but her face was filled with a sneer.
Clearly, she shared the same opinion as Peng Bachi and did not believe Jiang Xiongba's words at all!
"Mr. Qin is indeed a Grandmaster!" Jiang Hongxin chimed in.
"Hmph, no wonder the Jiang family has fallen to this state. Every single one of you is a damn fool!"
Peng Bachi cursed again and looked directly at Jiang Xiongba, "Jiang Xiongba, I'll ask you one last time, will you move or not?"
The aura he exuded pressed down fiercely on Jiang Xiongba.
This time, before Jiang Xiongba could answer, Qin Yi reached out from behind and patted his shoulder, saying, "Patriarch Jiang, you can step aside. I'd like to see how he intends to kill me!"
With Qin Yi's word, Jiang Xiongba no longer blocked and moved aside.
"Kid, you have guts. Then die for me!"
Peng Bachi raised his staff and brought it down upon Qin Yi.
Everyone could clearly see the light flashing on his staff!
Peng Bachi channeled his internal energy, enveloping the entire staff. Before the staff even landed, a wave of pressure had already descended upon Qin Yi.
However, the next second, Qin Yi grabbed the staff. All the power and momentum contained within the staff vanished in an instant!
Peng Bachi channeled his internal energy, increasing his strength, trying to force the staff down onto Qin Yi, but it was useless!
Under these circumstances, Peng Bachi tried to pull his staff back, but it remained stubbornly in Qin Yi's grip, unmoving!
No matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't retrieve the staff!
"What???"
Peng Bachi was stunned.
But it wasn't over yet. Qin Yi, still holding the staff, pulled hard, and the staff broke free from Peng Bachi's hand and was snatched away.
Then, Qin Yi held the staff with both hands and bent it, snapping it directly into two halves!
Whoosh.
Qin Yi, holding a piece of the broken staff, casually flung it at Peng Bachi.
The broken staff pierced through the fabric of Peng Bachi's waist and sent him flying backward.
Finally, the staff embedded itself into the wall behind him, pinning Peng Bachi to the wall. For a moment, he couldn't break free!
Le Wushuang and Xiang Yu, who had just climbed out of the wardrobe, were so shocked their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Their master, the sect leader of the Eight Trigrams Gate, was so easily defeated by Qin Yi!
Could it be that Qin Yi was truly a Grandmaster?
As they were in disbelief, Qin Yi moved again, closing in on Peng Bachi, and struck him in the abdomen with a palm, shattering his dantian.
"Pfft!"
Peng Bachi spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his abdomen and crying out in terror, "My dantian, my dantian..."
"Master!"
"Master???"
Xiang Yu and Le Wushuang rushed over, and upon discovering that Qin Yi had shattered Peng Bachi's dantian, they were both shocked and furious.
The dantian was the foundation of a martial artist! Without his dantian, Peng Bachi was completely crippled!
Jiang Xiongba and Jiang Hongxin were also startled when they saw Qin Yi cripple Peng Bachi's dantian, but they quickly regained their composure, feeling a sense of schadenfreude!
The Eight Trigrams Gate and the Jiang family were mortal enemies. With Peng Bachi crippled, the Eight Trigrams Gate was essentially finished, and the Jiang family would have one less rival to contend with in the future!
Xiang Yu and Le Wushuang, working together, finally managed to pull the broken staff from the wall, and Peng Bachi collapsed to his knees.
However, with his dantian shattered and him rendered useless, the man was in despair and began to chant frantically, "Give me back my dantian, give me back my dantian..."
For a martial artist, especially one who had cultivated for decades and finally achieved a high level of power, to suddenly lose all their strength and become crippled was, without exaggeration, worse than death!
The reason Qin Yi was so ruthless was that he had sensed Peng Bachi's killing intent earlier. The man had intended to kill him!
Since that was the case, why should he show any mercy?
"Take him and get out, quickly!" Qin Yi ordered coldly.
Xiang Yu and Le Wushuang both jolted. They dared not utter another word and, supporting Peng Bachi on either side, left the room.
Jiang Xiongba and Jiang Hongxin bowed to Qin Yi and left the room without a word.
After a while, hotel staff came to clean the room.
The martial arts exchange meeting was being held in Yuan Yi Town. The people here had some understanding of the martial arts world and its practitioners, so the staff didn't find the fight between Qin Yi and Peng Bachi in the room to be strange at all!
After the room was cleaned, Qin Yi continued to stay there. Jiang Xiongba had offered to switch rooms, but Qin Yi felt it was unnecessary and refused.
As it neared evening, Qin Yi suddenly received a call from Luo Yongnian.
"Hello, Mr. Qin. Where are you now? Are you free in the next few days?" Luo Yongnian asked.
"What is it?"
"It's like this, we need your help and require you to come to Yuan Yi Town!" Luo Yongnian continued, "If you're free, I'll come pick you up now..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yi interrupted before he could finish, "I'm already in Yuan Yi Town."
Luo Yongnian paused noticeably and asked, "Mr. Qin, you're in Yuan Yi Town? What are you doing there?"
Qin Yi replied truthfully, "I'm here to attend the martial arts exchange meeting!"
"Uh, you're attending the exchange meeting? Which faction are you representing?" Luo Yongnian sounded even more surprised.
