I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Chapter 108: Chapter 107: Cleaning House

Xu Qing’s face was expressionless as his gaze fell upon Ye Langtian. With his keen sight, he could already tell that Ye Langtian’s Martial Cultivation had reached the Dan Jin Realm.

Additionally, Xu Qing detected another aura emanating from Ye Langtian. This Energy did not belong to the Martial Path, but was some other kind of Power.

It was precisely because Ye Langtian had mastered this other Power that he could create and control so many Blood Corpses.

“Ridiculous.”

Upon hearing Ye Langtian’s words, Du Cangying shook his head, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Ye Langtian. “Ye Langtian, I’m telling you, you still have one last chance to repent. Do not remain so willfully blind.”

“’Willfully blind?’”

Ye Langtian sneered and, with a wave of his right hand, roared, “Kill!!!”

ROAR!!!

The moment he spoke, Ye Langtian shook the Soul Summoning Bell in his hand. The surrounding Blood Corpses immediately shrieked and lunged at everyone present. “Huo Yi, what are you waiting for? Strike now!”

“Kill!”

BOOM!

Huo Yi nodded and charged at Du Cangying without hesitation, fully unleashing his power at the Outer Gang Level. Waves of Gang Qi surged forward.

“Xu Qing, there’s no need for you to act today.”

Du Cangying glanced at Xu Qing, his tone grave. “I will handle this myself. It’s time I taught this insolent traitor another lesson—the meaning of respecting one’s master.”

“Yes, Master.”

Xu Qing nodded and held back, respecting Du Cangying’s wishes.

After all, Du Cangying had long known that Xu Qing had already reached the Outer Gang Level and had even defeated him in the past. Though Du Cangying didn’t know exactly what realm Xu Qing had reached now, he was certain his disciple was far more powerful than before.

RUMBLE!

A deafening roar erupted.

Du Cangying’s injuries were fully healed, his strength restored to its absolute peak. He unleashed the full might of the Peak of External Gang Realm.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Within moments, Du Cangying and Huo Yi had exchanged more than a dozen blows. Du Cangying was clearly the more experienced and powerful fighter; Huo Yi, by contrast, was lacking.

For one, although Huo Yi had indeed built the Bridge of Heaven and Earth and entered the Outer Gang Realm after taking a Celestial Bridge Pill, he was only at the Initial Entry stage.

Furthermore, many of Huo Yi’s techniques had been personally taught to him by Du Cangying.

Naturally, Huo Yi was no match for Du Cangying.

“Ah!”

Huo Yi screamed.

SPURT!

He was struck by Du Cangying’s palm, sending him flying backward as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was completely overwhelmed, proving no match for his master.

“Today, I will cleanse our house.”

Du Cangying snorted, his expression frigid and merciless. He lunged at Huo Yi, his right hand forming a claw. A phantom image of the Exotic Beast Dapeng appeared behind him. “Dapeng Heaven-Tearing Claw!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Just as Du Cangying closed in on Huo Yi, three battle cries erupted. Three more of the traitorous Martial Arts Hall Elders charged forward to intercept him.

Moreover, thanks to an enhanced version of the Celestial Bridge Pill, these three traitorous Elders had all reached the Outer Gang Level.

“What?”

Du Cangying’s expression faltered. “You’ve all reached the Outer Gang Realm!!!”

“Blood Dragon Claw!”

ROAR!

Huo Yi suddenly looked up and unleashed his full power, showing no sign of his earlier weakness. He had been hiding his true strength all along.

Apparently, while Huo Yi had indeed relied on a Celestial Bridge Pill to break through, he had since been cultivating a Demon Technique and had mastered other forms of Martial Arts.

Furthermore, he had secretly taken *another* enhanced Celestial Bridge Pill, successfully refining and absorbing its power to reach the level of Great Success in Outer Gang.

“!!!”

Du Cangying’s pupils contracted.

’This is bad!’

Du Cangying was horrified.

ROAR!

A sound like a dragon’s cry echoed as Huo Yi unleashed his full-power strike. It was as if a blood-red flood dragon had materialized, lunging at Du Cangying with bared fangs and claws.

Meanwhile, the three other Outer Gang Level Elders were also charging at Du Cangying.

In that instant, Du Cangying was in grave danger.

“No! Father!!”

Du Luan cried out in alarm.

“Hall Master!”

Jin Hong and the others were also in a panic.

’What a madman.’

Ye Langtian glanced at Huo Yi, a flicker of shock in his eyes. He knew Huo Yi had already taken one Celestial Bridge Pill; to dare take a second, enhanced version was insane.

Most importantly, Huo Yi had somehow survived and even managed to refine the second pill, raising his Cultivation to the stage of Great Success in Outer Gang. This was completely beyond Ye Langtian’s expectations.

SWISH!

At the critical moment, Xu Qing stepped forward. He had no choice but to intervene. If he continued to watch from the sidelines, Du Cangying might genuinely be killed.

“Dapeng Heaven-Tearing Claw!”

RUMBLE!

With a tremendous roar, Xu Qing appeared before Huo Yi. His speed was simply incredible. He had started moving after them, but he arrived first, intercepting their attacks just before they could land on Du Cangying.

ROAR!

As Xu Qing unleashed his technique, a majestic power erupted. Behind him, the phantom of the Exotic Beast Dapeng truly materialized, radiating immense strength.

“AHHH!!!”

Screams rang out.

SPURT! SPURT!

Blood splattered.

Xu Qing’s attack was utterly domineering, his power terrifying, his combat prowess astonishing. With a single blow, he completely shattered the attacks of the three Elders who had just reached the Outer Gang Realm.

Not only that, the force of his strike was so immense that after shattering their attacks, it tore three gashes so deep their bones were visible into each of their chests.

One strike.

Just one strike.

And the three Martial Arts Hall Elders, all at the Initial Entry of the Outer Gang Realm, were grievously wounded. They collapsed to the ground, utterly defeated and out of the fight.

“What?!”

Huo Yi’s pupils contracted, his eyes widening in utter disbelief. He couldn’t comprehend what was happening, simply unable to accept that Xu Qing could possess such overwhelming power.

“Xu Qing, you…”

Ye Langtian was also horrified.

“This…”

“Senior Brother Xu…”

“So… so strong…”

The onlookers were utterly stunned.

“Junior Brother Xu… he… he’s actually reached the Outer Gang Realm! And from the aura and power he just unleashed, I’m afraid he’s already at the Peak of External Gang!”

Du Luan was also in a state of shock.

Clearly, Du Cangying had never told her the truth about Xu Qing’s strength.

At this moment, everyone present was stunned by Xu Qing’s power. It was unbelievable. Their gazes were now filled with awe as they looked at him.

After all, it had been less than a year, all told, since Xu Qing had first begun his training. In that short time, he had transformed from a young beggar with no knowledge of Martial Arts into an expert at the Peak of External Gang.

Such Talent.

Such a rate of growth.

Such power.

He was, without a doubt, a true genius.

“Hahaha…”

Jin Hong burst into laughter. Among everyone present, besides Du Cangying, he was the only one who knew just how terrifying Xu Qing’s potential and Talent were.

Jin Hong had witnessed it with his own eyes: Xu Qing had defeated their master, who was already at the Peak of External Gang. It was a true case of the student surpassing the master, and it had left Jin Hong utterly astounded.

Because of this, Jin Hong had known all along that as long as Xu Qing was here, there was still hope for the Cangying Martial Arts Hall. No matter how much Huo Yi and the others plotted and struggled, they were nothing compared to Xu Qing.

The two sides were simply not on the same level.

That was why Jin Hong had endured humiliation and made compromises, pretending to side with Huo Yi. His true purpose was to gather evidence against the Blood Demon Sect and learn more about their activities.

Now, seeing Xu Qing display such might—crushing three Outer Gang Elders with the ease of snapping dry twigs—was an incredible sight.

It was, to say the least, an extremely uplifting turn of events.

“Good, good, good…”

Du Cangying also let out a wild laugh. Without the other three Outer Gang Elders to worry about, he could focus his full attention on Huo Yi. His Dapeng Heaven-Tearing Claw clashed with the Blood Dragon Claw, creating a massive explosion.

“AHHH!!!”

A scream ripped through the air.

Ultimately, Huo Yi was no match for Du Cangying. Despite his age, Du Cangying was an expert at the Peak of External Gang with a wealth of combat Experience.

Huo Yi was young and had even risked everything to break through to Great Success in Outer Gang, but in a direct confrontation with Du Cangying, he still fell short and was defeated.

SPURT!

Huo Yi coughed up blood as he was sent flying by Du Cangying’s strike. A terrifying Gang Jin surged into his body, severely damaging his internal organs.

“Cough, cough…”

Huo Yi collapsed to the ground, unable to get back up.

SPURT! SPURT! SPURT!

「Meanwhile.」

Holding his Iron Sword, Xu Qing showed no mercy. His expression was cold as he executed the three traitorous Outer Gang Elders, beheading each with a single slash.

“!!!”

Ye Langtian’s pupils contracted.

By this point, Ye Langtian had already slipped quietly to the edge of the battlefield.

In fact, the moment Xu Qing had made his move, Ye Langtian sensed that things were going awry. So, despite his shock at Xu Qing’s power, he had already begun to make a quiet retreat.

And incredibly, no one else present had noticed him leaving.

No one except Xu Qing.

“Master!”

THUMP!

Huo Yi suddenly cried out in anguish, fell to his knees, and began kowtowing desperately to Du Cangying, tears streaming down his face. “Your disciple knows he was wrong! I was truly wrong! I… I was forced! I was forced to do it!”

“It’s all because of Ye Langtian! He joined the Blood Demon Sect and tempted me into taking the Celestial Bridge Pill! That’s why I was forced to do these things!”

“Master!”

“Spare me! Please, spare me!”

Huo Yi’s desperate cries for mercy were filled with sorrow and sounded heart-wrenchingly sincere.

“Huuu…”

Du Cangying took a deep breath, his gaze calm as he looked at Huo Yi.

SPURT!

Blood splattered.

Du Cangying raised his hand and, with a fierce and merciless claw strike, crushed Huo Yi’s head without a shred of hesitation.

“My other three disciples, the many students of this Martial Arts Hall… so many people have died. You owed them an answer. And that answer cannot be a simple ’I was forced.’”

Du Cangying said grimly.
