2036 Sky-Breaking Monarch (1/2)

Qingfeng Li's right index and middle fingers stretched out before him in a lightning-fast motion, catching the half-step saint Black Rapier in a pinch-hold.

Seeing this, the Sky-Breaking Monarch's expression changed. A hint of awe surfaced in his eyes. ”How's this possible?” he said. ”My Black Rapier is a half-step saint level dharma treasure. How DID you catch it with just your fingers?”

Qingfeng Li replied with a nonchalant smile, ”Whoever said that you can't catch half-step saint level dharma treasures with your fingers? Isn't that what I'm doing right now?”

A cold gleam flashed across the Sky-Breaking Monarch's eyes. ”I don't believe this,” he said. ”Your fingers are just flesh and blood. How can they be a match for a half-step saint level dharma treasure?”

Activating his vital essence, the Sky-Breaking Monarch emitted a massive wave of power. Twisting the half-step saint Black Rapier, he tried to pull it out of Qingfeng Li's gripping fingers.

However, Qingfeng Li's finger contained a piece of Dragon Bone and a Dragon Scale. These things held immense power and, try as he might, the Sky-Breaking Monarch couldn't draw his rapier back.

”Your Dharma treasure isn't bad,” Qingfeng Li said with a smile. ”It's powerful. But unfortunately for you, your opponent is me. Now, let me destroy this weapon of yours.”

With the Dragon Bone within his right index finger, he exerted pressure upon the half-step saint Black Rapier. With a loud crack, the weapon snapped in half, the pieces falling to the ground. The half-step saint level talisman scriptures etched on its surface had all been crushed to dust by the suppressive power of Qingfeng Li's Dragon Bone.

The Sky-Breaking Monarch's expression changed. He backed away, staring at Qingfeng Li in awe.

”How could your physical strength be so powerful?” The Sky-Breaking Monarch's face was sullen. ”It's impossible to break a half-step saint level item with just your fingers. Not unless your finger contains some kind of immortal level power or above.”

Credit where credit's due, Sky-Breaking Monarch was highly intelligent. Being one of the Four Monarchs, he was naturally very worldly and knowledgeable.

He had known from the first glance that Qingfeng Li was no simple character. In addition, he HAd clearly identified the immense Godly Beast suppressive force emitted from Qingfeng Li's right index finger. This was a power that shook even him to the core.

He was sure that Qingfeng Li's finger must have contained some Imperial level or above power. Otherwise, with just physical strength, no self-cultivator would have been able to snap his half-step saint level dharma treasure in half like that.

Qingfeng Li smiled. ”Correct,” he responded. ”My right index finger contains a supreme power. But I'm not going to tell you what it is. You can ask the Underworld Monarch yourself when you get to Hell.”

Ever since Qingfeng Li had learned two of the Killing God's Laws and some half-step saint level Laws, his power had grown with astonishing speed. Now, he was at the peak of the Ninth level of the monarch realm, just a hair shy of the half-step saint level. All he was missing was a small epiphany.

Now, standing before the Sky-Breaking Monarch, Qingfeng Li did not feel a shred of fear. Quite the contrary. In Qingfeng Li's eyes, the other was only a whetstone with which he could hone his abilities.

In a whirlwind motion, Qingfeng Li's body shot forward, appearing before the Sky-Breaking Monarch in an instant. He activated the power of the Dragon Bone in his right hand once more and struck toward the Sky-Breaking Monarch.

The Sky-Breaking Monarch's expression changed. He sensed a phenomenal power emitting from Qingfeng Li's right index finger. It sent a thrill of fear down his spine.

The Sky-Breaking Monarch took out a long sword, 1.8 meters long and three centimeters wide. Etched on the sword's surface were two patterns, one black and one white, intermingled together. It emitted a terrifying energy.

Seeing this long sword, Mengyao Xu's expression changed. ”Big Brother Li, watch out,” she cried. ”That's the Yin-Yang Saint Sword. It's a powerful weapon that ranks in the top three in all of the Crimson Fire Continent! It's a Saint level weapon!”
