Chapter 21: First Battle! D-Class Psychic!

Wang Jixuan’s kick seized the initiative!

The Silver-haired old man stumbled backward, hitting the elevator wall!

Two burly men reacted quickly, immediately drawing their guns to shoot, but Wang Jixuan’s hands had already swung forward, and amidst a rapid and brief whooshing sound, the two thugs clutched their necks and slowly slid down.

A strong sense of warning arose in Wang Jixuan’s heart!

The Silver-haired old man had already launched a counterattack, a fist wrapped in a faint blue-green glow, smashing fiercely towards Wang Jixuan’s face!

There was no time to duck!

Wang Jixuan shook his head and tilted his body, narrowly dodging the opponent’s fierce hook punch. Not adept at close combat, he immediately chose to leap backward to create distance, flinging out three utility knives with his right hand!

The old man’s missed punch directly pursued him outward, the elevator shaking back and forth under his steps. Facing the rapidly flying sharp blades, he showed no evasion, merely raising his hand to protect his face!

The mottled Qi within this old man was rapidly expanding, causing his body to swell like a balloon.

The utility knives accurately struck the old man’s hand.

There was no scene of blood splattering;

The three utility knives embedded two millimeters deep into the old man’s hand before he casually flicked them to the ground.

“Who are you!”

The old man’s voice roared like a lion.

Wang Jixuan did not answer, retreating rapidly around the corner, as several nuts shot out with a whooshing sound, knocking down the Black Fire Gang thugs who were looking up at him.

Temporarily free from worries, Wang Jixuan turned to face the Silver-haired old man charging behind him.

The old man’s explosively swollen upper body muscles had already torn his custom-made suit!

The voice of ‘Bartender’ Gu Wending echoed in Wang Jixuan’s mind, filled with shock.

“He, he’s a Spiritual Energy User! Our Black Fire’s number three figure is a Spiritual Energy User! My goodness! He’s been in the Lower City for over twenty years! Shouldn’t he be fighting those Blade Beasts!”

As expected, he was a Spiritual Energy User!

This Spiritual Energy User old man was the Black Fire Gang’s number three figure he was looking for, ‘Giant Bone Fish’ Wen Heisen!

Close quarters combat!

Wang Jixuan clenched his fist slightly, his eyes gleaming with golden light, and with a tap of his toes, he swiftly retreated.

Wen Heisen fiercely attacked with his iron fists, like a human rhinoceros, his punches carrying enough power to blast open an alloy door!

Wang Jixuan was not merely dodging; he constantly flung utility knife blades hidden in his sleeve at Wen Heisen.

The ‘Qi Flying Knives’, which were invincible against ordinary Black Fire Gang thugs, could now only tickle Wen Heisen, leaving shallow scratches and clear pain on his body.

“You’re courting death! Ah!”

Wen Heisen cursed, his eyes bloodshot and his expression frantic.

This reminded Wang Jixuan of the Demonic Path Body Cultivators who practiced by devouring blood souls, as recorded in the sect’s ancient texts.

Facing such a formidable enemy for the first time in This world, Wang Jixuan’s Dao Heart was eager for a challenge.

It was as if… he had suddenly found a kindred spirit?

Yes, that’s exactly the feeling!

Even though the person in front of him was a ruthless Black Fire Gang leader who engaged in organ transplant businesses, the opponent’s completely different qualities from ordinary humans sparked intense interest in Wang Jixuan!

Wang Jixuan’s left hand formed a sword finger, constantly pointing forward, while his right hand was clasped behind his back.

【Low-level Movement Technique: Wind Riding Art】!

The powerful air currents generated by Wen Heisen’s punches became Wang Jixuan’s leverage. Wang Jixuan dispersed the Qi from his Dantian throughout his body, his muscles stretched, and his form swayed left and right like a feather, propelled by the force of the punches.

After missing more than a dozen punches in a row, Wen Heisen was utterly enraged!

Wang Jixuan, however, became calmer, having almost estimated the opponent’s strength.

In terms of strength, he was at an absolute disadvantage.

Although the Qi within this Spiritual Energy User was mottled and impure, the total amount of this Qi was comparable to a Cultivator at the third Realm of Foundation Establishment, ‘Returning to Truth’.

In Wang Jixuan’s original world, cultivation was divided into four major Realms—Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Ascension. The four major Realms each had different divisions: Foundation Establishment had four Realms, Golden Core and Nascent Soul each had three Realms, and Ascension only had two Realms, with the final Realm being Mahayana.

As a former Great Ascension Stage Cultivator, Wang Jixuan’s judgment was largely reliable.

Although the Qi within Wen Heisen was abundant, it was very mottled, even more chaotic and jumbled than the fast-track Demonic Cultivators who cultivated with Medicinal Pills, Soul-Seizing Talismans, and Dual Cultivation Techniques.

Furthermore, this Silver-haired old man did not know how to utilize the Qi within his body.

Is this what a Spiritual Energy User is?

No techniques, no methods, only forcefully activating the Qi within the body to enhance the physique. This brutal enhancement itself is a destruction and harm to the body, and Lifespan will probably be reduced because of it.

‘It’s indeed a bit unpresentable.’

As Wang Jixuan sighed inwardly, Wen Heisen was already on the verge of rage.

He had already thrown thirty-six punches! He had chased Wang Jixuan for most of a lap on the second-floor circular corridor!

Yet, he couldn’t even touch the corner of this young man’s clothes!

Seven or eight of Wen Heisen’s trusted subordinates rushed out of the rooms connected to the circular corridor, but before these subordinates could even raise their guns, their throats were shattered by the flying nuts.

Only then did Wen Heisen realize that he was being toyed with by this slippery young man!

The calm gaze of the young man in front of him made him feel immense humiliation!

“Ah!”

Wen Heisen’s skin suddenly turned blood red!

Wang Jixuan’s figure drifted down, his right hand, which had been clasped behind his back, at some point held a standard caliber pistol.

Wen Heisen stomped forward forcefully, his feet, which had swollen by two sizes, burst his leather shoes, and a clear indentation appeared on the concrete floor!

Bending his legs, he lunged forward!

Wen Heisen’s figure was like a human cannonball, charging directly at Wang Jixuan with a sonic boom!

Wang Jixuan had anticipated this. The four Shen Xing Talismans stuck to the inside of his outer pants simultaneously lit up, and his figure darted two steps to the left, then gracefully spun half a circle with his toes to the top of his head as the central axis.

Wen Heisen brushed past him, smashing the one-meter-high reinforced glass behind him!

Wang Jixuan’s calculation of ‘Giant Bone Fish’s’ charging angle was just right.

He had actually known this before:

When his Cultivation Techniques were combined with the powerful firearms of This world, it would be a deadly blow!

Now he could also say:

Fellow Daoist, times have changed!

Wang Jixuan raised his gun, a calm smile on his lips, and continuously pulled the trigger!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

In the gushing gunfire, six bullets successively shot towards Wen Heisen’s back and the back of his head…

Eh?

Wang Jixuan was stunned because he saw… six clear indentations appear on Wen Heisen’s back and the back of his head, but no blood splattered from the indentations.

Wen Heisen at this moment was like a blood-colored bear, his body swayed forcefully, and six bullet heads were almost simultaneously ejected, falling to the ground with a crisp clinking sound.

No!

It couldn’t penetrate even at this close range?

Ding!

The sound of an elevator opening came from the side. Wang Jixuan keenly noticed that at least ten Black Fire Gang gunmen had rushed into the circular corridor.

Wang Jixuan stared expressionlessly at Wen Heisen, who turned his head to glare at him angrily, roaring as he lunged again.

Wang Jixuan let out a light hum from his nose, smashing the pistol horizontally and lunging forward, surprisingly intending to confront Wen Heisen head-on.

Just as he was about to collide with Wen Heisen!

Wang Jixuan’s whole body trembled with Qi, and his figure suddenly rolled upwards, narrowly avoiding Wen Heisen’s sweeping arm. His right palm formed a sword finger, pointing towards Wen Heisen’s forehead.

Wen Heisen did not realize he had fallen into a trap; his forehead remained unmoving, intending to directly shatter Wang Jixuan’s finger.

Wang Jixuan’s right hand suddenly trembled, and a three-centimeter long utility knife blade appeared between his sword fingers, sliding rapidly towards Wen Heisen’s right eye, then flicked lightly.

Wen Heisen was caught off guard and instinctively closed his eyes. A deep scratch appeared on his right eyelid, and the blade segment was pushed into his right eyeball, causing him unbearable pain and making him scream!

“My eye! My eye!”

Wang Jixuan’s movements were fluid. His left hand had already pressed onto Wen Heisen’s back!

Wang Jixuan’s left fingertip pinched, and a stack of Talismans opened like a folding fan, sticking to Wen Heisen’s back over his heart; he also borrowed some force to propel himself towards the broken window.

The group of Black Fire Gang thugs, who had rushed nearby with rifles raised, only saw a fleeting shadow leaping out of the window.

They fired continuously, but the figure had already disappeared into the darkness.

The thugs’ gaze was instinctively drawn to the muscle-bound man…

Wen Heisen’s hatred intensified to madness, and he turned to search for Wang Jixuan’s figure.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

On his back, which was covered in fleshy protrusions, the scattered stack of paper Talismans trembled slightly, and the Talismanic patterns on them simultaneously glowed!

Boom!

…

Wang Jixuan, who was swiftly moving while crouching on the rooftop, turned his head and saw Wen Heisen sprawled forward from the explosion, secretly clicking his tongue.

There was no scene of skin tearing and flesh bursting;

This still couldn’t break through the opponent’s thick skin?

Wang Jixuan raised an eyebrow slightly, touched his empty inner pocket, and without hesitation, sped at full speed towards the outskirts of the Black Fire Gang’s territory.

Boundless Heavenly Venerable.

What exactly is going on with Spiritual Energy User?

Why do they feel like Yao people assimilated by Yao Beasts?

How did that mottled Qi come about?

Of course, Wang Jixuan’s main concern was still…

Can the method of producing these Qi be used for his own cultivation?

“This world is becoming more and more interesting.”

Wang Jixuan’s lips curved into a slight smile, and a sense of joy arose in his Dao Heart. If he didn’t have to conceal his whereabouts, he would have wanted to let out a long howl, sing loudly, and laugh as he ascended to the clouds!

Just as he was about to leave the Black Fire Gang’s territory, he suddenly thought of something and immediately stopped.

What was he going to do next?

Find a place to cultivate, replenish his Talismans, and find a way to create some Magical Artifacts that could break through the flesh of such Spiritual Energy User.

He already had an idea of the specific type of Magical Artifacts; he just needed to find some high-quality Blade Beast bones.

‘Acquiring these things in the Lower City will probably require some money. I, the poor Daoist, cannot go back to the Thirteenth Floor to take those medical supplies; they are for saving ordinary people’s lives.’

He pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to his jacket pocket, pressing on the Soul-Seizing Talisman, and heard Gu Wending’s muttering in his mind.

“He’s a Spiritual Energy User, possibly even a D-Level Spirit Ability User. No wonder they always obeyed the Thirteenth Institute. He is the Thirteenth Institute’s Spiritual Energy User… Damn it, he hid it from us for over twenty years… Why didn’t he transform during the previous firefight!”

Wang Jixuan asked softly, “Bartender?”

“You, what do you want to do?” Gu Wending stammered, “Please, don’t kill me, let me find a body to live on!”

“You should have a lot of savings and know some secret areas where the Black Fire Gang hides supplies, right? I can expend some spiritual energy to extend your life by three more days, but you’ll have to pay a small price.”

Daoist Wang spoke gently, his right thumb gently rubbing his index and middle fingers.

This method was called’salesmanship’, and he had seen similar experiences in Mu Liang’s memory.
