The two walked forward a short distance and saw two Martial Practitioners standing not far ahead, both appearing to have strong cultivation levels.
Seeing Terra Su and Sean Feng approaching, the two Martial Practitioners immediately stepped forward to block their path, their expressions unfriendly. “Who are you? Don’t you know that the Rising Sun Mountains have been sealed off by our Iron Armor Gate? No one is allowed to enter or leave at will.”
Terra Su stopped and said, “Please, could you make an exception? I have important matters to attend to in the mountains and won’t disturb your business.”
“Make an exception?”
The two Martial Practitioners laughed as if they had heard the biggest joke. One of them sneered, “Kid, you should ask around. Who dares to ask our Iron Armor Gate for an exception? I advise you to turn back now!”
The other one also spoke harshly, “Kid, you’d better be sensible. Our young master was murdered, and everyone in the Iron Armor Gate is hunting for the killer. We don’t have time to waste with you. If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for being rude!”
Terra Su stood his ground, looking curious. He asked, “May I ask, how does the Iron Armor Gate plan to catch the killer? I’ve heard that your young master has been dead for some time. Any clues should have been erased by now, right?”
“Why do you want to know?”
The two Martial Practitioners from the Iron Armor Gate squinted at Terra Su. “This is a secret of the Iron Armor Gate. How could we easily tell you?”
“However, considering you’re just a snot-nosed kid, it’s impossible for you to be the killer. We don’t mind telling you a bit. Our Iron Armor Gate has unique methods of investigation. Even if months have passed and the killer has bathed and changed clothes, as long as he’s still in the Rising Sun Mountains, we can track him down.”
Terra Su feigned astonishment. “So impressive? Is it some unique treasure or secret technique?”
The two Martial Practitioners were already impatient. They waved their hands dismissively. “Why do you need to know so much? It’s none of your business. Don’t delay our work. Move aside!”
“Alright.”
Terra Su said, then started walking towards the mountains.
“Kid, you’re going the wrong way!”
One of them frowned. They had already said the mountains were sealed, yet this kid was still heading in. Was he here to cause trouble?
Terra Su acted as if he hadn’t heard and continued walking forward.
“Kid, can’t you hear us talking to you? Are you deaf?”
One of them shouted, but Terra Su still acted as if he hadn’t heard, continuing to walk forward.
“Kid, you’re courting death!”
“I think you’re here to cause trouble!”
“Get him! Kill this kid!”
The two Martial Practitioners from the Iron Armor Gate drew their weapons and charged at Terra Su from behind.
However, before they could get close, Terra Su, as if he had eyes on his back, suddenly stopped. He extended his arms to both sides, accurately grabbing the two by their necks.
In the next moment, Terra Su exerted force, lifting them like chickens, holding them high in the air!
The two were shocked and immediately began to struggle violently, but the hands gripping their necks felt like iron clamps. The more they struggled, the tighter the grip became, making it impossible to break free.
“How is this possible?”
The two panicked. This seemingly young boy had such monstrous strength?
They knew their cultivation levels had reached the first level of the Condensing Origin Realm. Could this harmless-looking boy’s cultivation level be higher than theirs?
“Kid, do you know what you’re doing? If you dare to harm people from the Iron Armor Gate, there’s no place in heaven or earth for you to hide!”
One of them shouted at Terra Su while struggling.
Terra Su ignored them, clapping their bodies together like cymbals.
With a muffled sound, the two Martial Practitioners from the Iron Armor Gate were crushed into bloody pulp, not even having the chance to scream.
Sean Feng, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes. He had thought Terra Su would let him handle these two, but Terra Su had personally dealt with them effortlessly.
From the True Essence Terra Su released when he struck, it was clear that his cultivation level had reached the third level of the Condensing Origin Realm.
Sean Feng remembered when he first met Terra Su at the Five Treasures Hall, Terra Su was only at the tenth level of the Inducing Qi Realm. In less than a month, his strength had advanced so rapidly. It’s no exaggeration to say that even some geniuses in the capital might not achieve such a cultivation speed.
Of course, Sean Feng didn’t know that Terra Su had hidden his first-level Condensing Origin Realm cultivation at the Five Treasures Hall. But even if he knew, it wouldn’t diminish his current surprise.
“What are you standing there for? Let’s go!”
Terra Su clapped his hands and called out to Sean Feng.
Sean Feng collected his thoughts and followed Terra Su into the Rising Sun Mountains.
However, Sean Feng felt that this matter wouldn’t end so easily. Terra Su had killed two people from the Iron Armor Gate. The Iron Armor Gate wouldn’t let this go.
But as a strong practitioner from the capital, Sean Feng naturally wouldn’t fear a mere Iron Armor Gate. If necessary, he would help Terra Su deal with them all.
“We’re heading to the inner region of the Rising Sun Mountains. If we encounter Monster Beasts below the fifth level of the Condensing Origin Realm, don’t intervene. Leave them to me,” Terra Su instructed.
“Alright,” Sean Feng nodded.
The two headed straight for the inner region of the Rising Sun Mountains, encountering many Monster Beasts along the way.
However, for Terra Su now, Monster Beasts below the second level of the Condensing Origin Realm weren’t worth engaging. He didn’t need to lift a finger; just releasing the pressure of a second-level Condensing Origin Realm cultivator was enough to scare them away.
Only when encountering Monster Beasts at the third level of the Condensing Origin Realm would Terra Su strike. And even then, he wouldn’t kill them with a single blow. Instead, he deliberately avoided their vital points, engaging in prolonged battles, using the Monster Beasts as sparring partners to hone his combat skills.
In this highly efficient combat training, Terra Su’s fighting prowess was visibly improving. His “Five Elements Fist” quickly advanced to the second level.
The “Five Elements Fist” is a Martial Technique specifically for practitioners with the Five Elements True Essence Core. Only those with the Five Elements True Essence Core can maximize its power. The more Terra Su fought, the more proficient he became, fully unleashing the power of his Five Elements True Essence Core.
Terra Su felt it was a pity he didn’t have the chance to practice Martial Dao in his previous life. Now, in this life, he found Martial Dao to be incredibly fascinating.
As for Sean Feng, who was watching from the side, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He had been observing for a long time but couldn’t discern what attribute Terra Su cultivated. From the True Essence Terra Su released, it seemed to contain all attributes, yet none were particularly distinct.
