Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 535 - 533: Training Targeted at the Nine Nether Empress—Jiang Qingge: These Bandits Are Truly Despicable!

Being able to fly in the sky, being able to smash a large tree that requires two people to encircle it with a single punch...

The owner of the martial arts school in their town, who claims to have the strength of a thousand pounds in a casual punch, is no match for those mountain bandits. Every time the bandits enter the town, they still have to pay them off.

Lu Ye and another person, who both seem very young and are together just a bit over fifty, went to the mountain bandits’ stronghold to cause trouble...

Most likely they might end up getting themselves caught in the process.

Many people in the town do not have much confidence in Lu Ye and his companion.

...

After Lu Ye and his companion left the town, they headed toward the Sands Mountain two hundred miles away.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"From now on, you need to suppress your own strength; it should not exceed the master’s realm by more than two levels," Lu Ye said in a low voice. "And from now on, you need to rely on yourself to quietly reach the top of the mountain and deal with them."

"Oh... but I don’t know what level the master’s strength is." Jiang Qingge replied, somewhat confused.

"That’s simple; wait for me a moment." Lu Ye finished speaking and vanished behind the large tree in an instant.

He returned in less than thirty seconds.

"Their master is at the Innate Realm Fourth Layer, so you can suppress your strength to roughly the Innate Fifth Layer. Don’t break this limit unless you are absolutely unable to handle the enemy," said Lu Ye upon returning.

Obviously, in this short time, he had already seen through every detail about the master.

Taking a light breath, Jiang Qingge suppressed her realm to the Innate Fifth Layer as Lu Ye instructed. Then she whispered, "Okay... then, I’ll head up."

Her tone revealed that, ultimately, experiencing such a thing firsthand for the first time left her feeling a bit uncertain.

Lu Ye nodded.

Jiang Qingge’s figure flashed, and she deftly used the mountain forest’s obstacles to head up the mountain...

Although she was suppressed to the Innate Fifth Layer, most of the sentries guarding the mountain were only at the Condensing Origin Realm, with a few reaching the Postnatal Realm, making it impossible to detect Jiang Qingge’s infiltration.

In an instant, Jiang Qingge took care of all the mountain bandits among those sentries.

After all, with a crushing level of strength, she encountered no mistakes along the way and quickly reached the mountain top.

Following behind, Lu Ye watched Jiang Qingge, who was still undetected and moving swiftly forward, and shook his head slightly.

The next second...

Jiang Qingge inadvertently stepped on an extremely thin, nearly undetectable line, causing the bells suspended at both ends to jingle.

Jingle...

"Who goes there?!"

In an instant, a loud shout came from within the mountain stronghold.

Immediately, mountain bandits started moving towards the noise, seemingly to investigate the area.

Jiang Qingge: "..."

Looking at the barely noticeable thin line under her feet, knowing she had been exposed, Jiang Qingge gritted her teeth and swiftly took care of the two bandits who came to check.

Being discovered, she might as well begin... Powerful Flying Brick!

The next moment, Jiang Qingge charged into the mountain stronghold, amidst a chorus of shocked and angry cries.

"Who are you, daring to make trouble in my Sands Mountain stronghold?!"

"Ah..."

Inside the stronghold, screams resounded.

Lu Ye stood in a corner unseen by others, not feeling the least bit regretful.

For a first-time experience, making some noise is normal.

Jiang Qingge apparently read many books in the Jiang Family before; her swordsmanship martial technique was very skilled.

Coupled with her realm being one level higher than the stronghold master, she actually made up for some differences in battle experience, with both sides going back and forth.

However, Jiang Qingge always remembered Lu Ye’s words, not to let any bandit escape, to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. As she fought, she would suddenly attack the nearby observing bandits.

In a short period of time, she ended up killing several more.

This scene, seen by the Sands Mountain stronghold master, made him instantly furious.

Despite having similar strength, this woman dared to be so arrogant, even taking the time to continue killing his brothers in the stronghold?!

Clearly, she did not regard him as anything.

"You’re courting death!"

The stronghold master’s long saber suddenly surged with a terrifying blade aura, transforming into a thunderbolt, and slashed towards Jiang Qingge!

Thunderous Blade Technique!

In the corner, upon seeing the furious stronghold master employ a Profound Tier Upper Grade martial technique, Lu Ye had some conjectures.

"It’s unusual for a stronghold master to have martial arts of this grade, unless... someone is backing him."

But even if there is someone backing him, Lu Ye did not care.

In the Northern Territory, can any force be stronger than the Myriad Laws Sect or the Red Cloud Sect?

Yet neither of these sects requires Lu Ye to take action; Jiang Qingge, simply by not suppressing her own realm, could crush them with Powerful Flying Brick.

When the strength gap becomes large enough, martial techniques and tactics are no longer decisive factors.

Watching the powerful blade from the stronghold master, Jiang Qingge’s expression slightly hardened, and she hastened to conjure a protective shield around herself.

The next moment, the blade light traversed the space, slashing directly at the shield...

Crack!

Being only at the Innate Fifth Layer, facing a Profound Tier Upper Grade sword technique, Jiang Qingge immediately saw the shield in front of her begin to crack.

"You can unleash a strength higher than this realm; his sword technique is already top tier for normal Innate Realm," said Lu Ye through a voice transmission just then.

So it’s okay not to suppress it?

Watching the shield about to shatter, a sudden terrifying aura that would make everyone in the Northern Territory tremble flashed briefly from Jiang Qingge’s body.

Then, just as the stronghold master saw his Thunderous Blade about to shatter the woman’s shield and slash at her...

He saw the woman’s eyes suddenly turn icy cold, and with a mere wave of her hand, the blade light, which originally still had half of its power remaining, dissipated with a bang!

Immediately, the woman, with nearly ghostly speed, appeared in front of him.

The master didn’t even have time to react and cast a protective shield before he saw her palm strike him.

Master: "???"

Pfft!

A ghastly deep indentation suddenly appeared on his chest; the Sands Mountain stronghold master never thought.

It was clearly evenly matched just now, how did the opponent suddenly go berserk??

With an expression of extreme puzzlement, the master fell on the spot.

Jiang Qingge’s eyes turned cold, and she continued to attack the remaining bandits without hesitation...

After a moment, seeing Lu Ye’s figure appearing in the stronghold, Jiang Qingge approached with the coldness in her eyes dissipating, replaced by a look of slight embarrassment.

"Husband, I... I was still a bit careless and got discovered early on."

Lu Ye nodded slightly, "It’s fine, experience is accumulated. Let this serve as a lesson, and just be more careful next time."
