Chapter 96: Level 15 [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi].

Edited by: Mochiusagi 

Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Inspection Guard does not need to follow the order from a Slayer outside of the mission.

However, in Zhong Chi's eyes, Shen Changqing was different from a normal slayer.

Although the other party was only a Yellow Rank, when it comes to strength, even Red Black Slayers wouldn't dare be conceited when facing him.

Further, in terms of potential, there was a certain possibility for Shen Changqing to reach the Earth Rank, and even a Guardian Rank.

Naturally, Zhong Chi wouldn't offend such an existence for this trivial matter.

“Then, I'll leave this matter to Branch Head Zhong.”

Shen Changqing said.

“The Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion is especially silent. I suspect something is wrong. How many Qi Circulation Realm Cultivators does the Heavenly Inspection Guard have at its disposal?” 

Dealing with monsters was hard, unless someone was at the Qi Circulation Realm.

However, it does not mean that a Body Forging Realm expert had no way to deal with monsters. The catch was that it would be much more difficult.

Zhong Chi shook his head: “There are not many strong people in the Heavenly Inspection Guard. In Jin City, including myself, there are only two Qi Circulation Realm Cultivators. However, the other one died while gathering intelligence some time ago. Meaning, I'm the only one left!”

“Understood.”

Shen Changqing closed his eyes for a bit, before opening them again.

The strength of the Heavenly Inspection Guard was even weaker than he had expected.

But then again, they were intelligence personnel. There was not much requirement for strength, and those who were really strong were basically transferred to the Demon Suppression Division to serve as Slayers.

After all, no matter how important the Heavenly Inspection Guard was, it was only there to assist the Demon Suppression Division to eliminate the monsters.

After all, the main thing was still killing monsters.

“The Black Tiger Army is stationed outside the city. If necessary, they can enter the city to help. There are many experts in the Black Tiger Army. Although they may not be comparable to Lord Shen, they can deal with ordinary monsters.”

“They also have killing intent, which would be extremely useful against monsters.”

Zhong Chi said in a deep voice.

Black Tiger Army!

Shen Changqing slightly nodded.

Indeed, there's still the Black Tiger Army stationed outside the city. The strength of an army was definitely not weak.

“Have the Heavenly Inspection Guard pay close attention to what's going on in Jin city. I just fought against the monster and my injury is not minor, I need some time to recuperate.”

“What kind of medicine do you need, Lord Shen?”

“There's no need for that, thank you for the offer.”

Shen Changqing declined.

It was better for him to just heal himself through Cultivation. 

The Level 7 [Impregnable Golden Body] had made Shen Changqing's body stronger to a certain extent. By extension, his self-healing ability was higher than ordinary people's.

“Then I'll take my leave, I hope Lord Shen has a great recuperation.”

Zhong Chi withdrew, but when he closed the door, his calm face darkened.

The changes in Jin City had put a lot of pressure on him.

The Heavenly Inspection Guard was the eyes and ears of the Demon Suppression Division in the city. Such a thing has happened, yet he didn't even notice it beforehand. There was no doubt that there was an element of negligence behind it.

Even if it was a sudden situation, the impact it had brought was undeniable.

""

Once the Demon Suppression Division investigated the matter, Zhong Chi felt that he could not escape punishment.

“Now, I can only report the news as soon as possible, before the situation goes completely out of control. I'll then find a way to stabilize the situation in the city.”

Zhong Chi felt a little tired.

When he left, Shen Changqing started cleaning off the blood on his body. After he finished, he left the tub and put on the clothes Zhong Chi prepared for him.

The size and length was just right.

Due to the clothes touching it, the wound on the left side of Shen Changqing's chest tingled.

“Hiss~!” 

During the battle, Shen Changqing didn't feel the pain that much. But now that the adrenaline was gone, the pain made him take a deep breath.

'This is so troublesome!'

Hongyi's methods were strange. Coupled with her monster characteristics and speed, if Shen Changqing didn't have an injury-for-injury way of doing things, he wasn't certain that he could hit her.

Hence, Shen Changqing just made sure to not get hit in his vitals.

“Now that Hongyi escaped, the Eternal Life Alliance would be on alert. What happens next is not something I can control.”

“Other than the Heavenly Inspection Guard or people from the Government, there's also the Black Tiger Tiger stationed outside the city. If there is an emergency, they would be the main ones battling. At most, I'll just be supporting from the sidelines.”

One must have enough strength to fight. Otherwise, one would simply become cannon fodder.

“The previous battle made me realize my lack of strength. However, the next time I meet you, I will kill you—”

Shen Changqing's eyes were cold.

He couldn't care less about Hongyi being a beauty. Now that it had come to this point, there was absolutely no possibility that he would just let it go.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Shen Changqing delved into his mind.

___________________________

When Shen Changqing upgraded the [Impregnable Golden Body], he was left with only two points.

But cutting off Hongyi's arm gave him eight points, making it 10.

Focusing on the panel, Shen Changqing quickly looked at the [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi]. 

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

As for fusing Martial Arts, in a short period of time, Shen Changqing does not plan to do so.

The [Hundred Battles Sword Technique] and the [Iron Sand Palm] were enough for the time being.

“Level 16 of the [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi] will allow me to break through the Grandmaster Realm!”

Shen Changqing would start a new round of upgrades with great anticipation.

However, before that, he took out a bottle of Qi and Blood Pill, swallowing all eight pills in it.

For convenience, Shen Changqing only carried 10 bottles of Qi and Blood Pills, as well as 10 bottles of Satiety Pills.

Counting his previous consumption, he still had a few Qi and Blood Pills left.

As the pills entered his abdomen, powerful Qi and Blood rampaged through his body, causing his skin to turn red.

At this time, without hesitation, Shen Changqing directly chose to upgrade.

8 points of Killing Value were then consumed.

The [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi] then began to transform from Level 14 floor to Level 15.

Immediately after, an unprecedented suction burst out from Shen Changqing's dantian. The vigorous Qi and blood that he had just consumed, was being exhausted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As this was happening, Qi was filling his dantian.

Shen Changqing observed the changes in his dantian and saw transparent liquid flowing. This was the state after the liquefaction of True Qi, which was a large amount of concentrated True Qi.

After the gaseous Qi condensed to a certain extent, raindrops began to form and fall.

At the same time, his dantian also lightly vibrated. With the help of the Qi, it had grown a little bit bigger.

Dantian Expansion.

With this, more True Qi could be stored. 

The crazy suction lasted for less than half an hour, before Shen Changqing felt his body falling into a very weak state.

Appearance-wise, his originally flushed skin had become dry, as it had shriveled up, which was a symptom of serious loss of Qi and blood essence.

However, Shen Changqing didn't think too much about it. He just took out another bottle of Qi and Blood Pills, swallowing it.

The powerful Qi and blood were immediately absorbed into his dantian.

The surging True Qi swelled in his dantian, and then turned into a torrent that flooded towards the meridians in his body.

[Pang~]!

With a faint noise, a blocked meridian was broken by the surging Qi.

Soon, another meridian followed suit.

Shen Changqing followed the direction of the flooding Qi and did not dare to relax.

Opening meridians was a very rigorous thing.

Although doing so could increase one's strength, if the True Qi goes out of control, it could easily destroy the meridian and seriously injure the person.

Although he had the panel and the True Qi seemed to be controlled by an invisible big hand, orderly impacting the blocked meridians, Shen Changqing still did not dare to relax.

Time flew by and every time a meridian was opened, the True Qi would become weaker.

By the time that powerful True Qi was completely exhausted, there were already quite a few meridians that were opened.

Soon, in the opened meridians, a new Qi was born.

All of the True Qi then gathered together, turned into a surging torrent, and went back into his dantian.

At this time, Shen Changqing's True Qi in his dantian became more rich and full.

Now that the breakthrough of the [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi] had ended, Shen Changqing opened his tightly closed eyes.

He was still feeling slightly weak.

To this, he could only swallow two Qi and Blood Pills to completely fill this feeling of weakness.

“Level 15 [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi]!”

Shen Changqing tightened his fist and felt the newfound power in his body. A smile appeared on his face.

He was now a step stronger than before!

If he faced Hongyi again in his current state, he didn't need to do the injury-for-injury tactic and still inflict heavy damage on the enemy!
