Chapter 17: Inner Breath Like Abyss, Impressive Momentum!
The Liuu family backyard.
With the arrival of Bai Luoyu.
The entire backyard instantly fell into silence.
Bai Luoyu exchanged a glance with Jiang Ning, shared a smile, and then quickly fixated on the Liuu family's Tributor, the elder named Elder Wei.
"I heard someone say they want to teach Brother Jiang a lesson before I came, was that person you?"
Sensing Bai Luoyu's oppressive gaze, Elder Wei suddenly felt uneasy.
Having lived in Dongling City for a long time, he naturally knew how terrifying Bai Luoyu was.
He feared not the strength, but the authority of Bai Luoyu.
A County Patrol Envoy, ranked Secondary Sixth-rank.
This kind of status is far beyond what a half-century-old man without an official position can provoke.
Elder Wei smiled awkwardly: "Master Bai, please don't take offense, I was just showing off."
"Showing off? I don't think so!" Bai Luoyu said.
Then he glanced up and down at Elder Wei: "You look familiar, it seems to be related to a murder case. Come take a walk with me to the Inspection Office!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Wei's complexion suddenly changed.
"Master Bai, don't be too overbearing!!!"
"Is this your stance, intending to resist arrest?" Bai Luoyu smiled slightly, his hand lightly waving a folding fan.
"Master Bai!!" Elder Wei spoke with emphasis: "Do you really wish to do this?"
"Are you trying to threaten me?" Bai Luoyu flicked his wrist, the folding fan in his hand snapped shut with a "swish" sound, and his gaze towards Elder Wei became sharp.
"I don't dare!!" Faced with this, Elder Wei immediately lowered his head.
Then he said: "I will return with Master Bai for an investigation, hoping Master Bai can clear my name after the findings!"
"I never wrong a good person, nor do I let a bad person go!" Bai Luoyu said calmly.
Immediately, he raised his hand: "Take him away!"
"Yes, my lord!" Someone behind him immediately responded.
"Please, Wei Daxun!!" The person following Bai Luoyu lazily said.
Upon hearing this, Elder Wei swallowed his frustration, then followed.
The Liu Family Patriarch, Liu Xinzhi, upon witnessing this, felt a surge of anxiety.
Now he knew why Bai Luoyu could appear here; it was all because Jiang Ning invited Bai Luoyu over.
The reason for inviting him was self-evident.
Seeing the current situation, a slight regret filled his heart.
And at this moment.
Bai Luoyu exchanged a glance with Jiang Ning, communicated briefly with Sound Transmission into Secret Skill.
"Brother Jiang, farewell!!" Bai Luoyu cupped his hands, then smiled: "Come to my residence later for a gathering, the Residence Master also wishes to meet you!"
"Alright!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands.
Bai Luoyu came hastily and departed swiftly.
After bidding farewell to Jiang Ning, he turned and left with his men.
Once Bai Luoyu exited the backyard.
Jiang Ning looked at the Liu Family Patriarch, Liu Xinzhi.
"Patriarch Liu, I want to know who harmed my elder brother, I hope you can—tell me honestly!!"
When the final four words landed.
Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened.
Boom—
A powerful inner breath exploded from Jiang Ning's body, in the eyes of the Liu family, it was like a tidal wave, like a storm surge.
In an instant.
The Liu family's members felt a weight on their chests and retreated one after another.
Even some stumbled backward at that moment.
Liu Xinzhi and Liu Xinyi's expressions also changed drastically.
Thump, thump, thump—
Liu Xinzhi retreated three steps, his gaze towards Jiang Ning filled with astonishment.
At this moment, the inner breath Jiang Ning erupted was even more overwhelming than the one Hong Minghu unleashed while meeting the Yellow Heaven Sect Incense Master Liu Linmen.
On the other side.
Bai Luoyu had just walked out of the backyard, felt the commotion behind him, and couldn't help but look back with surprise.
"Inner Breath Like Sea?"
"He actually reached Inner Breath Like Sea??"
"Could it be that the previous information was incorrect, that he's not a dual-skilled Martial Arts Sixth Grade, but has already stepped into Martial Arts Fifth Grade as a prodigy?"
He murmured inwardly.
...
In the backyard.
"I don't know!" Liu Xinzhi steadied himself, then slowly said.
"You don't know?" Jiang Ning slowly stepped forward: "Is it truly unknown, or feigned ignorance!!"
As his words fell.
He erupted with even stronger inner breath, despite Liu Xinzhi's strength in Martial Arts Sixth Grade, he found his form still teetering.
Under Jiang Ning's explosive aura, he felt a deep fear akin to facing an abyss.
It was as if the next moment, he would be consumed by this aura.
At this moment, his thoughts briefly ceased to function.
...
On the other side.
Bai Luoyu's expression changed once more.
"Impossible!!" His eyes suddenly sharpened, muttering to himself.
"My lord, such strong presence!!!" The person accompanying Bai Luoyu exclaimed.
At this time, Elder Wei's expression also changed dramatically.
"This... how is this possible!!" As he spoke, he was already in a stunned state.
As a Fifth Grade Martial Artist, he could sense more details than ordinary people.
Just like those accompanying Bai Luoyu who hadn't yet entered the ranks of Fifth Grade, merely sensing the impressive aura.
But he was different, he had long stepped into the realm of Martial Arts Fifth Grade.
With years of accumulation, his skill reached the level of Inner Breath Like Sea.
This level, looking across Dongling City, signifies a true stronghold.
Therefore he could perceive numerous details within this aura.
Just now, the aura merely gave him a vast ocean-like feeling.
But at this moment, this erupting aura transformed into a deep abyss-like profundity, chilling to the bone.
"How can this be?!!" Elder Wei murmured again: "How can he possess such terrifying skill at his age??"
At this moment, Bai Luoyu also slowly looked back.
Suppressing his inner shock, he looked at Elder Wei.
"You understand now? If it weren't for my intervention, you would have been killed on the spot by Brother Jiang!!"
