It is at this moment that the tiger realized that the rest of the combatants were not trying to buy time for my ultimate move, but had fought as if I was not present and that Judge Tang had actually pushed himself to draw it's attention away from me.

A creepy grin forms on the tiger face and dashes towards me. "Puny humans, I will kill this little boy first!" he yells as its left claw is raised and starts to shine brightly.

Mo Di fires off several arrows in a bid to slow the tiger down and give me time to escape or change its target but the tiger avoids the arrows deftly by pausing slightly as the arrows near him. Liu Kang and Sima Di are right behind the tiger but unable to catch up and the tiger claw will probably kill me if it hands.

I have no choice but to join the fight right now. I have already been channelling my qi towards my right arm and I can feel the qi trying to burst out of me already. Instead of waiting for my death, I execute instant blink and onerous blow at the same time.

I have learnt how to fight for years from my mother and I am no longer the naive person who only knows how to attack straightforwardly. My plan is to blink at the right side of the tiger, where his shoulder is hurt and punch him there. Hopefully, I will shatter his arm so that the others will be able to kill him.

As I appear next to the tiger, he suddenly withdraws his left claw and tries to give me a bear hug. "Hahahahaha! You pathetic human! Die with me!" the tiger yells.

Before my onerous blow could land on him, the entire body of the tiger starts glowing brightly and...

*BOOOM!*

The tiger blows himself up and I black out.

...

Back in the capital, strong winds are causing mayhem again. "Damn, it's only been a few months since the last time we had a whirlwind. What the heck is wrong with the weather?" One merchant complains while he hastily packs up his goods and shuts the doors of his shop.

The winds are not as strong as it was previously and the inn is unprotected this time, however, there are two women dressed in white floating in the air above the inn.

"This is weird. It has only been a few months and the person should not have broken into the realm of Meridian forming so quickly, not to mention that the amount of qi reacting right now is a lot lesser than the last time." The older woman talks to herself softly.

"Master, the source of the whirlwind seems to originate from the Ying family estate. Should we?" the younger woman in white asks in a respectful manner.

"Let us go take a look. You must remember not to be rude. The Ying family patriarch is as strong as our sect master. If you annoy him, nobody in the sect will stand up for you." The older woman reminds the young girl.

"Yes master, disciple will keep your words in mind!" the young girl answers with respect.

...

At the Ying family estate, a little girl is trying to enter the realm of Qi flow there. The transformation that her body is going through right now is the cause of the whirlwinds that is causing mayhem throughout the entire capital.

This girl has also brought upon herself the attention of all the elders of the Ying family and right now, the elders of the Ying family are acting as her protectors. The Ying family is a weird family, unlike the other families in the capital and the royal family.

They do not have numerous family members despite being an ancient family and treat all of their family members exceptionally well. All of them are allowed to learn and master the family secret technique, the <Six Harmonies Eight Methods Boxing> and the family takes all steps to ensure that they are well trained.

Nobody really knows why but somehow, almost every member of the Ying family ends up as a battle junkie. This results in a lot of their young children getting into trouble and dying young. However, there will somehow always been one person who will stand taller than everyone else every one or two generations.

Currently, their patriarch is one such person and he alone has caused the Ying family to be able to speak to the Immortal sects on an equal level. While the Ying family will never be as strong as the immortal sects due to low numbers, having just one powerful person in the Ying Family means that they can cause massive damage in retaliation. Furthermore, since the Immortal sects are always in competition amongst themselves, they will not get into a tussle with the Ying family if it can be avoided.

This little girl is Ying Yue, and she has learnt the entire <Six Harmonies Eight Methods Boxing>. Ying Yue breakthrough is similar to Shang Shi but much less painful. Using the penultimate internal exercise of the Six Harmonies Eight Methods Boxing, the Pre Heaven Meditation, she skilfully cycles the massive amounts of qi she has in her body.

Her qi is so polished that it easily travels around her body, and each cycle widens the qi pathways without causing much pain. Surrounding her are hundreds of spirit stones that she is constantly drawing qi from to support her body's transformation.

It is clear that Ying Yue has access to much more resources compared to Shang Shi, as the Shang family have many more family members to support and Shang Shi was never seen as a talented descendant.

Soon, the two women dressed in white arrive and the elders of the Ying family notice them. They give the two women a harsh stare and are already prepared to strike them down if they come any closer.

"Who are you and what are you here for?" One of the Ying family elders ask the two women with an emotionless voice.

"I am Elder Bing from the Qing Yu sect and I greet patriarch Ying Si and Elder Ji. This is my disciple Qing Xue and I was just curious about the person causing the qi storm. Elder Ji, we met once when you came to Qing Yu sect to retrieve my junior sister Wen Ting and almost turned my disciplinary hall into ruins, may I ask how sister Wen Ting is right now?" Elder Bing respectfully answers elder Ji with a fist & palm Salute.

"Humph. She is now Madam Ying to you, not your sister Wen Ting. Get lost if you are done talking. There is nothing in the Ying family that requires your concern." Elder Ji replies angrily.

"Don't be rude elder Ji, once a person has crossed the door, she is a guest. Besides, your wife did indeed break their sect's rules when she stole their sacred pill for you. Elder Bing, please return later as we currently have to take care of some family business." patriarch Ying Si sends Elder Bing and her disciple off nicely.
