Chapter 615 - 339: Star Fire Can Ignite the Prairie

Chapter 615: Chapter 339: Star Fire Can Ignite the Prairie

Ouyang Tianxu listened to the audacious request from this unexpected guest, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Please."

With that, he pressed down with one palm, and the basin in his hand immediately flew towards Chu Qing.

Although Chu Qing came soundlessly and unfathomably.

This obvious probing opportunity was something Ouyang Tianxu would never pass up.

Sending a basin with one palm was no great skill, but the inner strength covering the basin was the unique secret technique of Liaoyuan Mansion: [Liaoyuan Strength]!

This technique doesn’t harness the power of fire; instead, it takes its meaning from ’A single spark can start a prairie fire.’

The move might look ordinary, but once it touches the opponent, it explodes with an extremely terrifying force, like a prairie set ablaze by a single spark, overwhelming and magnificent.

The Ouyang Family’s ancestors relied on this [Liaoyuan Strength] to defeat countless heroes, thus establishing the foundation of Liaoyuan Mansion.

In the early days, people were quite critical, thinking that [Liaoyuan Strength] was all about deception in warfare.

Who would have thought that behind an unassuming move lay such overwhelming power?

Thinking he used thirty percent strength to probe, but in reality, the response was a full hundred percent effort?

It was believed that those initially defeated by the Ouyang Family’s ancestors were caught off guard, and the Ouyang Family’s slyness couldn’t be equated with being martial arts giants.

However, as the mystery of [Liaoyuan Strength] spread throughout the martial world, even though opponents’ martial skills became progressively superior, they still couldn’t overcome this [Liaoyuan Strength], and only then did people genuinely accept the Ouyang Family’s status.

Yet at the same time, a mystery remained.

Even with the Buddhist Sect’s ability to contain vastness within an atom, they might not accomplish what the Ouyang Family did, gathering immense power into a single point.

Where did the mystery of this cultivation technique originate?

This question persists, but aside from the Ouyang Family, no one can answer it.

Of course, the Ouyang Family would never divulge this great family secret...

Now, Ouyang Tianxu using this [Liaoyuan Strength] on the basin showed nothing on the surface at all.

The basin flew steadily, its force decent but unremarkable.

But once Chu Qing acted, whether to block or grab, he would be caught off guard by the [Liaoyuan Strength] within.

Ouyang Tianxu’s probing intention was thus achieved.

In the blink of an eye, the basin was already in front of Chu Qing.

Chu Qing hooked it with his five fingers, casually grabbing it.

The next moment, he let out a surprised ’hmm,’ and then his black robe was stirred by the Gang Wind, expanding and contracting silently.

Ouyang Tianxu stood there petrified.

The expansion and contraction of the robe indicated that [Liaoyuan Strength] had already unfolded, but within a breath, it was suppressed by this man again.

Who could accomplish such a feat?

Ouyang Tianxu felt a chill run through him... In his understanding, currently in Lingbei, among the leaders of the Three Mansions, Three Sects, and Three Clans, there was not a single person capable of such a thing.

Unless the one within Heaven-Reaching Ridge appeared, otherwise, it seemed impossible!

Could it be this person is one of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns?

Ouyang Tianxu still found it hard to believe.

"Interesting."

Chu Qing’s voice came forth, as he took out a bun from the basin, eating while speaking:

"So this is [Liaoyuan Strength], I misunderstood... as did the world.

"Everyone thought your Liaoyuan Strength concentrated immense power into a point, but that’s not the case.

"You’re using the opponent’s inner strength as fuel, ignited by your spark of fire.

"All the counterattack comes from the opponent’s own force, the stronger the force used, the stronger the counterattack.

"Such a strong-against-strong [Liaoyuan Strength], the Ouyang Family has stood in the martial world for centuries for a good reason."

These words sent a further chill through Ouyang Tianxu’s heart.

It was as if he’d been stripped bare, and the opponent’s words directly revealed the biggest secret of [Liaoyuan Strength].

The reason why [Liaoyuan Strength] can be so powerful is that it uses the opponent’s inner strength against them.

As such, it is naturally extremely difficult to resist.

The reason they hadn’t discovered this lies in that small ’spark of fire,’ which at the moment of igniting the opponent’s inner strength, caused them to mistakenly perceive it as the inner strength of an Ouyang Family master.

The Ouyang Family has stood in the martial world for a hundred years, never having its essential mechanism uncovered, which shows how seamlessly and quickly the entire change occurs. So much so, that for so many years, no one discovered the key within.

In fact, if not for Chu Qing possessing Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, with a sensitivity to force change unprecedented, it would be extremely difficult to uncover the secrets within.

At this moment, Ouyang Tianxu even felt a murderous intent rising.

But as he locked eyes with Chu Qing, this thought felt like it had been doused with cold water.

Then he heard Chu Qing chuckle:

"Thinking of killing me to silence me?"

"...I dare not."

Ouyang Tianxu slowly exhaled:

"Your martial skills are unmatched, how would this old man dare offend you?

"However, we have never met before, what is your intention in coming here?"

Chu Qing took something from his bosom and tossed it to Ouyang Tianxu:

"Look for yourself, we’ll talk after you’ve seen it."

Ouyang Tianxu was very cautious of this flying object, worried that the other party might retaliate in kind.

However, as he cautiously reached out and grabbed it, he found it thin as paper, making him feel like he was winking in the face of a blind man.

He sneaked a look at Chu Qing, only to see Chu Qing give him a disdainful sideways glance.
