Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 169

When the lightning-like figure caught up with the man, they happened to be between the halfway house and the mountaintop. Beyond the halfway house, it was considered forbidden territory for the majority of people—a place known as the Peak of Ling Yao(Spiritual Medicine). Therefore, at this moment, no one could have possibly noticed that two additional individuals suddenly appeared.

Zhou Yi, moving as swiftly as a flying bird, came to a stop twenty meters in front of the man. As his gaze fell upon the man's face, he couldn't help but be greatly astonished.

Throughout his life, Zhou Yi had felt immense pride in achieving the innate realm at the age of only fifteen. As far as he knew, the majority of innate experts succeeded in their advancement between the ages of sixty and eighty. Although there were some exceptions, reaching the innate realm at forty years old was already an exceptionally rare display of peerless talent.

However, in that instant, upon seeing the man before him, Zhou Yi realized that the world was not limited to just himself as a genius. This person's appearance was ordinary, and there was nothing remarkable about his attire. If judged solely by his outward appearance, he seemed to be nothing more than a poor peasant. However, this person's appearance was far too young, exceptionally young indeed.

Though he appeared older than Zhou Yi, at most, he seemed to be the same age as his eldest brother. A twenty-four or twenty-five-year-old innate expert. Moreover, from the profound and unfathomable aura emanating from him, Zhou Yi knew that this person was not a recently promoted master at the innate level. Unless he, like Zhou Yi or Master Cheng, had experienced an epiphany, he must have been at the innate level for at least ten years.

As this thought crossed his mind, Zhou Yi couldn't help but mutter to himself. If this person truly reached the innate level ten years ago, wouldn't that put him on the same level as Zhou Yi? It seemed that the world was filled with countless extraordinary individuals, and Zhou Yi had been somewhat narrow-minded and arrogantly self-assured.

However, it wasn't just Zhou Yi who felt this way. The innate expert standing before him, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, seemed unable to comprehend that there could be an innate expert even younger than himself in this world.

They scrutinized each other, both deeply astonished by the other's youth. After a brief silence, Zhou Yi finally took the initiative and spoke, "May I ask who you are, and why have you stealthily infiltrated the Peak of Ling Yao(Spiritual Medicine)? Are you not aware that this place is the sacred gateway of the Hengshan Sect and not to be lightly violated?"

The young powerhouse opened his mouth as if he wanted to argue, but then furrowed his brows and said, "And who might you be, sir? I'm not aware of any connection between you and the Hengshan Sect."

Zhou Yi smiled arrogantly and replied, "That is none of your concern. Since you dared to intrude upon the Peak of Ling Yao(Spiritual Medicine), I invite you to be my guest for a few days."

The man chuckled and a highly self-assured expression appeared on his face. He said, "You certainly have quite the audacity."

Zhou Yi's eyes gleamed with determination as he said, "Whether my audacity is too much or not, you will find out soon enough. If you have the courage, follow me down the mountain for a battle."

They were already near the mountaintop. Though Zhou Yi had never been there, he knew that disturbing others during their seclusion for alchemy was a great taboo. If two innate experts were to duel here, it would be impossible to do so without alerting those within the caves.

The man laughed heartily and said, "Why make things so troublesome? If you want to fight, then come."

Zhou Yi furrowed his brows deeply, and a thought flashed through his mind—to capture this man as quickly as possible. With his decision made, Zhou Yi's figure swayed like a ghostly apparition.
