Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 111 - Bullying The Weak

Chapter 111 Bullying The Weak
Ou Yangming had already opened the door to welcome Ni Yunhong, his younger sister, and the big bosses they brought from their clan when they led them to the side room.
“Brother Ou, let me introduce you to the Ni family’s Supreme Great Ancestor, the Honorable Jingtong.”
Ou Yangming trembled. He knew very well the weight of the title ‘Supreme Great Ancestor’ because it was an honorary title for Extreme Grade powerhouses only.
Although he had guessed that the Ni family was definitely overseen by a Supreme Great Ancestor, he did not expect to meet a powerhouse like him on his first day in the residence.
Ou Yangming bowed respectfully at Ni Jingtong and greeted, “Greetings, senior.”
Even the proudest peerless person favored by Heaven would treat a Supreme Great Ancestor with respect and dared not be ill-mannered at all.
Ni Jingtong chuckled and reached his hand out to faintly hold Ou Yangming, and an invisible power instantly gushed out to hold up the young man.
Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up upon sensing the power that seemed to have not utilized internal heat at all as he could feel the mightiness and the subtlety of it. He would have normally activated his mental power to study it for a while but forced himself to get rid of the thought because a group of strangers were present.
“Young man, you’re a genius indeed. I’m not good with words, so I’ll cut to the chase.” Ni Jingtong laughed and stared at Ou Yangming with eyes that were full of vigor. “I heard you’ve grasped the integration of Heaven and man at such a young age?”
Ou Yangming pondered and answered, “It’s true that I fathomed the way of nature, but I’m not certain if it’s actually the integration of Heaven and man.”
“Ah, the way of nature, that’s an insightful way to put it. Isn’t the integration of Heaven and man the way of nature?” Ni Jingtong sighed and commented, then continued after a thought, “Yunhong said that you’d like to enter our clan’s forbidden area to search for the Life-prolonging Golden Pill.”
Ou Yangming bowed low and said, “Please fulfill my wish, senior.”
Ni Jingtong chuckled. “It’s certainly not easy to enter the forbidden area. Not to mention your current identity, without having sufficient ability, it’s best that you don’t take the risk.”
“I believe that I’m qualified to enter, you’ll find out if you test me,” Ou Yangming responded seriously with glowing eyes.
He was not hesitant at all when he replied be it his expression or his attitude. This was because Ou Yangming was clearly aware that this was the only way to save Old Craftsman.
Therefore, he had to boast as much as he could even if he had to bite the bullet.
“I’ll be bullying the weak if I personally make a move, how about…” Ni Jingtong could not help but laugh when he expressed. He suggested after turning to look at the other elders, “Wangyang, test him.”
Ni Wangyang responded to him, but secretly cursed, ‘You’ll be bullying the weak if you make a move, but what’s the difference if I do it instead? Wouldn’t I be bullying the weak too?’
Nonetheless, he only kept those words to himself as he dared not disobey the great ancestor.
Ni Wangyang took a step forward and said, “Be careful.”
Following that, he shifted his body to launch a hit with his fist.
Even though Ni Yunhong and his younger sister had repeatedly told them that Ou Yangming was already a Yin Grade martial artist, who had also acquired the integration of Heaven and man, hearing it was one thing because Ni Wangyang did not regard the young fellow to be on his level.
After all, there was a huge disparity between Yin Grade and Yang Grade. A martial artist at the peak of Yang Grade Class Five was not even qualified to be showy in front of Ni Wangyang, let alone a young fellow who had just entered Yin Grade.
Ni Wangyang gathered his power at his fist but did not release it because he was afraid of being denounced if he injured Ou Yangming with his punch.
However, Ni Wangyang’s face changed in the next instant as he suddenly realized that Ou Yangming had undergone a huge transformation. The young fellow was still standing on the same spot, but his body was swaying lightly. That said, the seemingly insignificant sways gave Ni Wangyang a sense of uncertainty.
While Ni Wangyang was looking at Ou Yangming, he somehow could not feel his existence. The intense and contradicting feeling was almost making him go mad.
Nevertheless, Ni Wangyang was not an ordinary person. He continued swinging his fist and locked on the person in front of him. At this moment, he even cast away all his senses except for his sight.
Since only his eyes could see his opponent, he decided to trust them as it was the most straightforward way.
Besides, Ni Wangyang’s punch was no longer soft and powerless. It was suddenly filled with energy that it was a violent and irresistible blow.
The eyes of Ni Xueshu and the other people sparkled with anticipation as they looked forward to the outcome.
Just as the fist was about to hit Ou Yangming, Ou Yangming actually reached out his palm to press the fist softly.
Everyone else was shocked because it seemed like child’s play. They thought, ‘You must know that it’s a Yang Grade powerhouse’s thunderous hit, how can a little Yin Grade Class One martial artist like you be so presumptuous? Aren’t you afraid of getting killed right away?’
Despite that, they witnessed an exceptionally frightening scene at that moment. Ou Yangming suddenly fluttered up and moved back like a cloud.
Though Ni Wangyang’s surging power had hit Ou Yangming’s hand, the movement of backing away had completely disintegrated the power.
“Heh.” Ni Xueming gave a hollow laugh. “Wangyang, my dear nephew, you’re being merciful…”
The other people nodded too. If Ni Wangyang had not shown mercy, how could Ou Yangming have backed away without being hurt at all?
It was worth noting that there was a huge difference between Ni Wangyang and Ou Yangming’s cultivation bases, and the difference could not be easily made up. Furthermore, Ou Yangming did not look like his Qi and blood were surging at all.
“Wangyang, be serious!” Ni Xueshu cleared his throat and ordered.
Ni Wangyang’s face reddened, but he was forced to suffer in silence.
After noticing Ou Yangming’s unusual performance, as dumb as he could be, he must be alert, so he dared not attack haphazardly. Although Ni Wangyang did not give his all during the punch earlier, the attack was actually more than enough to injure a Yin Grade martial artist.
Hence, after seeing how Ou Yangming disintegrated the punch so effortlessly, Ni Wangyang actually wondered if he was being merciful.
On the other hand, Ni Jingtong curled his lips into a faint smile. He saw everything clearly and had a strange, indescribable feeling.
‘I’ve undergone the same situation when I exchanged blows with Third Brother in the past. Unless one has personally experienced the feeling, it can’t be put into words at all.
‘That being said, Third Brother’s cultivation base is too high that the junior disciples in the clan can’t exchange blows with him, so they can’t feel the mightiness of the integration of Heaven and man. Now that Ou Yangming is here, it’ll be great if the others can have a taste of it.’
Therefore, Ni Jingtong swallowed his words just as he wanted to ask them to stop.
Ni Wangyang furrowed his eyebrows deeply. He shifted his body in a flash to take a swift step forward and punched continuously. Each punch was steady and powerful, and explosive fist winds were produced as a result.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming seemed to have turned into a fluttering butterfly when he was faced with the intense attacks. He kept flying in the fist winds, where he constantly went with them and did not go against them at all.
As Ou Yangming moved in the wind, his body was so graceful. It was as though the person who was forced to be incapable of striking back was not him, but Ni Wangyang, who had been giving his all.
Everyone else looked at each other because the feeling was becoming stronger.
The integration of Heaven and man was an exceptionally mysterious and wonderful state that was beyond words.
Under the state, Ou Yangming could clearly spot his enemy’s weak points, and could easily give tit for tat.
Previously when he faced Zhang Yinli, his martial arts cultivation base was only Force Grade, and there was a large difference between their essential Qi. Even when Ou Yangming could identify the weak points, he could not attack effectively. However, the situation changed when he advanced to Yin Grade. He possessed 4 taels of power to shift 500 kilograms of weight, so while he could not resist a Yang Grade powerhouse yet, he could easily remain undefeated.
Moreover, if Ou Yangming could utilize his mental power to control the Blood Flight Art and had a sharp weapon with him, it would not be tough for him to kill a Yang Grade powerhouse.
Thus, even though Ni Wangyang’s attacks were incredibly violent, they were more like tickles for Ou Yangming because his life was not threatened at all.
Ni Yunhong and his younger sister looked at each other happily. Since they had brought Ou Yangming here, the more outstanding his performance, the happier they were.
Though their bright and open-hearted uncle, who had always loved them, was suffering some setbacks, he would probably not mind if it was for the good of their clan, right?
As the battle prolonged, Ni Wangyang’s body was so heaty that he felt like water was boiling when he circulated his essential Qi.
At that moment, Ni Wangyang had definitely given his all without holding back, but even then, nothing changed.
The faces of Ni Xueshu and the others finally changed because they understood how fearsome the integration of Heaven and man was.
While a person in that state could not kill his opponent with one slap during a battle, the process was like cutting meat with a blunt knife; it was torturous.
At last, Ni Jingtong exhaled deeply and uttered, “Enough.”
“Coward, do you not have the guts to really fight me?” Ni Wangyang roared right after hearing him and backed away while glaring at Ou Yangming angrily.
Ni Xueshu and the others were stunned, and they could not help but smile awkwardly.
It was obvious that Ni Wangyang was out of his mind. How could a cultivator in Yin Grade Class One fight him recklessly?
“Hmph, you’re embarrassing us!” Ni Xueshu pulled a long face and ordered, “Back off!”
Ni Wangyang was indignant, but he dared not disobey the great elder, thus he slowly backed off.
“Xueshu, go make the preparations, I’ll personally host the Testimony Path’s formation,” Ni Jingtong said.
“Yes,” Ni Xueshu and the others responded together and bowed at him respectfully.
