Chapter 140: Absolute Domain

After all, with his physique, it was difficult for him to get injured when he was practicing with his fellow disciples in the Qi Refinement realm.

This time, such a large piece of flesh was cut off, it was the most severe injury he had suffered since he started his cultivation journey.

Looking at the hole, he felt a sense of trepidation.

Fortunately, the senior sister of the Rejuvenation Hall contributed several recovery buffs at the Foundation Establishment realm.

After making the new statuses last an infinite amount of time, Jiang Li roughly calculated that the recovery speed of his injuries had doubled again.

There were also effects that targeted hemostasis, bone repair, muscle recovery, and other effects. The effects of these statuses would be more ideal for large wounds.

Flesh quickly grew out, filling up the hole in the thigh.

The granulation tissues served the purpose of filling and supporting, which was equivalent to the scaffolding on a construction site. These tissues themselves did not have much of a function on their own.

Under the support of the growing tissues, the ends of the wound began to produce cells and grow along the thigh’s hole.

There were also the ruptured tendons, the severed blood vessels, and the severed nerves to heal. These functionary tissues replaced the granulation tissue bit by bit and then connected together at the center of the wound.

As the tissues regenerated, the wound was itchy and painful. He did not dare to touch it, afraid that he would affect the healing.

Jiang Li could only slowly circulate his wood attribute spiritual qi and gently comb his wound.

He could not just stand there and recover. On the spot, he used a wood attribute spell technique to make a wooden wheel chair and sat on it. Then, he watched the other stages’ fights while healing his injuries in an innocent manner.

“Junior Brother Jiang Li, can you try to move your toes now?”

Ten minutes later, Senior Sister Qi Yu poked Jiang Li’s injured leg and asked about his recovery.

Jiang Li did as he was told. Although it was still a little difficult, his toes could already move, and his limbs’ senses were slowly recovering from his injuries.

However, because the blood vessels in the middle was missing for nearly ten minutes, the blood supply in the lower limb was disrupted for ten minutes. After his nerves reconnected, the first thing he felt was a numb and painful feeling, as if he had squatted in a pit for half an hour.

He had not experienced such a sensation in a long time.

As long as his nerves and meridians recovered smoothly, the recovery of his injuries would only be a matter of time.

In order to help Jiang Li recover from his injuries as soon as possible, Senior Sister Qi Yu and another senior sister used healing techniques on him several times before flying away in the end.

This was the benefit of having good social relationships. Other contestants did not receive such treatment.

Regarding this, although Jiang Li actually did not need it, he did not reject it for the sake of hiding his secrets to a certain extent.

As time slowly passed, the circular scab on Jiang Li’s wound became stiff and brittle, and it could fall off at any moment.

His weak leg gradually recovered its strength.

Jiang Li tried to slowly tighten his muscles. 10% strength, 30% strength, 70% strength, 100% strength!

The wooden wheel chair beneath him creaked as if it would be torn apart by the immense force if it moved slightly.

He was slightly happy to find that his injured leg had completely recovered. Even when he tightened his muscles, there was no pain.

Moreover, although it had just recovered and had not undergone any rehabilitation, the new flesh and blood had already recovered most of its original strength.

It was only slightly weaker than his right leg. As long as he exercised a little, he would be able to recover completely.

This sort of thing actually did not make sense, but after some thought, he understood the reason.

This was because most of Jiang Li’s strength came from the various buffs on the interface.

His body cultivation was only at the late-stage of Body Refinement.

The current Jiang Li could kill a Jiang Li without any buffs using just one slap.

Therefore, even if this injury still affected a portion of his low-level strength, it was not a big deal to the overall situation.

Moreover, because his foundation was relatively weak, it was easier to heal him as a late-stage Body Refinement realm cultivator with the treatment of several Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Jiang Li used his spiritual qi to carefully sense his original wound. The bone that had cracked open earlier had become even tougher and stronger than before.

This was probably the effect of Benevolent Travel Temple’s Jade Bone Flesh Regeneration Pill. However, this kind of amplification was rather limited, and it was not worth Jiang Li injuring himself by breaking his own bones.

“Qing Lie! What do you want!”

At this moment, some noisy argument not far from the third ring attracted Jiang Li’s attention.

“What do I want? I’m only going to continue fighting according to the rules.”

“As for you, Liu Bai, why aren’t you guarding your fourth ring properly and stopping me here?”

Jiang Li looked over when he heard this. It was his senior brother, Liu Bai, who had an argument with the disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall that he had defeated earlier.

The disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall was called Qing Lie. Judging from his expression, he probably wanted to go up the arena and challenge Jiang Li, but he was stopped by Senior Brother Liu Bai.

After a battle, the contestants would receive two hours of rest. After that, even if their spiritual qi was empty and their injuries had not recovered, they could not reject other people’s challenges.

This was a rule set from the beginning.

It had been two hours since he defeated Senior Sister Shen Ruoshi.

“Qing Lie! Do you really want to challenge an injured Qi Refinement realm junior brother? Aren’t you afraid of being mocked by your fellow disciples?”

“My fourth ring is still empty. If you have the ability, come and fight me first!”

After Jiang Li defeated Shen Ruoshi, Senior Brother Liu Bai woke up from his meditation and successfully took over the fourth ring.

After that disciple of the Alchemy Hall who possessed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire was defeated in the end, he went to stand guard on the 6th combat ring that Jiang Li was originally on.

After all, Jiang Li was not at the Foundation Establishment realm. In the end, he still could not participate in the Foundation Establishment group competition in the Great Mountain Cultivator Competition.

Therefore, even if he was ranked first in the sect, they still had to choose five Foundation Establishment disciples to participate in the Cultivation Competition.

Therefore, the number of arenas naturally increased from five to six.

However, Senior Brother Liu Bai’s victory in the battle was not easy either. His black hair had already disappeared, becoming the same refreshing hairstyle as Elder He.

There were also large burns on his body that had not been completely healed. Coupled with the red beast blood tattoo, it looked a little scary.

In other words, the Demon Vanquishing Hall currently occupied two stages of the Foundation Establishment realm, the third and fourth rings. Their results were already very outstanding.

However, Jiang Li’s injuries made him look like a pushover in the eyes of the other competitors.

Under normal circumstances, even if such injuries could be healed on the spot, the regenerated flesh would undoubtedly be much weaker than before.

In this aspect, the more powerful a body cultivator was, the more they were affected. On the other hand, ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators would not be troubled by this.

In their eyes, Jiang Li was undoubtedly a pure body cultivator. It was the same even if he had displayed pretty good standards in the last battle.

Right now, Jiang Li’s leg was ‘weak’, so his terrifying speed was already crippled. His combat strength had been reduced greatly, and he was still guarding the floating arena that was ranked third. In this way, he would naturally be targeted by others.

However, bullying their injured junior brother was indeed a little shameful, so the six Foundation Establishment disciples who did not manage to obtain a place were still hesitant and did not step forward.

They hesitated time and again. In the end, only the Law Enforcement Hall’s Qing Lie dared to act against Jiang Li in the name of revenge.

Then, Liu Bai who was currently guarding the fourth ring could not stand seeing his junior brother being bullied, so he flew out of his ring to stop the other party.

This caused Jiang Li to witness the scene from before.

“Hmph, I don’t fancy your fourth ring. Move aside, I’m only challenging him according to the rules of the martial arts competition.”

“If he can’t defend the ring, it can only mean that his strength is insufficient. The ring of the Foundation Establishment realm is not for a Qi Refinement realm disciple to stand in.”

Qing Lie was right when he said that.

However, for someone like him who had lost to a Qi Refinement realm disciple earlier, it sounded a little strange.

“Qing Lie, do you still have any shame? You’ve completely disgraced all the Foundation Establishment disciples!”

Senior Brother Liu Bai’s berating caused the other party’s expression to change indeterminately.

“Do you want to break the rules of the Martial Competition! Move aside! Get lost and go back to your fourth ring!”

The two of them flew in the air and were very close to each other. One of them was holding a fist and the other was holding a knife. However, it was obvious that no one dared to act rashly in this situation.

“Senior Brother Liu, let him come over. I’m fine.”

Jiang Li walked to the edge of the ring and shouted to his senior brother.

That Qing Lie was indeed issuing a challenge according to the rules. Jiang Li was not the kind of weakling who needed to be protected like this.

Since everyone participated in the Martial Competition, there was indeed no need to break the rules for such a trivial matter.

“Junior Brother Jiang Li, you…?”

Senior Brother Liu Bai was still a little worried, but an elder of the Internal Affairs Hall had already flown over not far away. As he forcefully stopped the challenge process, it was obvious that he did not obtain any support.

Under Jiang Li’s persuasion, he still flew back to his fourth ring.

“Senior Brother Qing Lie, please.”

Jiang Li stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture to the senior brother of the Law Enforcement Hall before slowly walking back to the center of the ring.

The expression of the Law Enforcement Hall’s Qing Lie was still not good. Although he was basically taking advantage of a junior, the rules of competition were like this. Furthermore, he still had injuries on his body, but did he complain?

Moreover, after the battle with Jiang Li earlier, the group of female cultivators from the Rejuvenation Hall had not given him a good attitude.

He did not know what was wrong with the healing spell techniques, but it felt as if they were mixed with chili water. When they hit him, he was almost tortured to death.

“Junior Brother, don’t worry. I’ll hold back.”

After landing on the arena, Qing Lie kept silent for a long time before he said that. It was unknown if he was trying to show off or if he was truly expressing his concern as a senior brother.

It made Jiang Li not know if he should ‘thank’ him.

“No need for that. Senior Brother Qing Lie, you lost to me because of carelessness. It’s better to be careful this time.”

Jiang Li reminded him out of kindness. At the same time, he subtly reminded him that this senior brother was the one who had lost earlier, so how could he show mercy?

With the low IQ and EQ of the Law Enforcement Hall’s Qing Lie, he could basically say goodbye to his future Dao Companion in this lifetime.

The battle soon began. Jiang Li faced the same opponent again but as the defending champion this time.

The flaming saber qi attacked and was swept up by the flying Dragon Imprisoning Lock. A strangulation was instantly disrupted.

Immediately, more flaming saber qi followed. This Qing Lie was certain that Jiang Li’s leg had not recovered. He planned to use long-range attacks to directly win.

However, after the battle with Shen Ruoshi, Jiang Li suddenly felt that such a battle was boring.

With the Dragon Imprisoning Lock in front of him, these flame saber qi could not break through at all.

Jiang Li’s hands suddenly thrust into the ground, lifting up a heavy stone tablet.

Making a standard throwing motion, Jiang Li’s entire body suddenly exerted strength. He threw out the huge stone slab that was three meters in length and width, and a thickness of 40 centimeters.

There was a whistling sound. Qing Lie raised his head and looked up. Then, he sneered in disdain, “Throwing stones? This is child’s play!”

The crimson saber slashed at the stone slab in the air.

There was a loud explosion. Even the stone slab, which had been specially strengthened for the fights of the Foundation Establishment realm, could not withstand the might of this saber and exploded into pieces in midair.

The law-enforcement disciple Qing Lie smiled disdainfully and was about to say something polite.

But suddenly, his expression shifted.

He raised his head and stared at the flames that had yet to dissipate. A moment later, one, two, and three… More huge stone slabs continuously tore apart the flames and fell towards him.

Without saying anything, Jiang Li actually flipped over the ground. In a short period of time, he threw out more than 20 reinforced stone slabs.

It was easy for Qing Lie to break a stone slab, but there were so many that flew over so suddenly…

“Damn it! Fiery Slash! Fiery Slash! Fiery Slash!”

Qing Lie of the Law Enforcement Hall gritted his teeth and released a large amount of spiritual qi. Fire-attribute spiritual qi surged into the saber and turned into multiple saber qi that slashed into the air.

The saber qi and the stone slabs collided with each other, causing huge crimson sparks to explode non-stop. Countless shattered rocks rained down.

Qing Lie only felt that his chest and abdomen, which had yet to recover, began to hurt again. All of a sudden, a large amount of spiritual qi was poured out, causing him to feel dizzy and empty inside.

At this moment….

Crack.

A crisp metallic sound could be heard.

The expression of the Law Enforcement Hall’s Qing Lie changed drastically, but he did not dare to immediately lower his head. He waved his saber again and shattered the last few stone slabs before he gasped and looked down.

A pitch-black chain with shackles at the end had already wrapped around his left foot.

The pitch-black chain extended forward and connected to Jiang Li who was standing a hundred meters away.

The other end of the shackle was on Jiang Li’s right leg, while the other end was on his left leg. This meant that… he could not escape!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The crimson saber struck the Dragon Imprisoning Lock one after another, causing sparks to fly. However, not a single scratch was left on the pitch-black Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

The quality of his saber was not low, but it was on a completely different level compared to the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

Clang!

Jiang Li’s right leg stepped back, and the Dragon Imprisoning Lock suddenly straightened.

Qing Lie only felt the air beneath his feet disappear, and he felt an intense weightlessness. His entire body was dragged by the Dragon Confinement Lock, and he crossed over a hundred meters of distance before finally stopping in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li cracked his knuckles as the sounds felt crisp and pleasant to the ear.

Within the two range of the Dragon Imprisoning Lock was his absolute domain!

After that, there was a series of delightful beatings.

Unfortunately, his opponent had only managed to withstand eleven punches before surrendering.

Jiang Li could only stop his fists after that.

“Sorry, sorry. I was too heavy-handed. Senior Brother Qing Lie, please don’t take offense.”

Jiang Li undid the Dragon Imprisoning Lock and helped the bruised and battered Qing Lie up from the ground. Under the other party’s bitter gaze, he helped him pat the dust on his body and even apologized.

After losing twice in a row, Qing Lie completely lost his temper. He smiled bitterly and admitted defeat.

However, the smile on Jiang Li’s face that he could not suppress made him feel that Jiang Li’s “sorry” was not sincere at all.

Picking up the long saber, he held his already swollen head and prepared to leave the scene. With his current appearance, he would not have the face to continue fighting.

At this moment…

Boom!

A loud rumbling sound came from not far away. The movement that caused even the air to tremble made the Qi Refinement realm disciples watching the martial arts competition below nearly lose their footing in fear.

Be it the disciples who were fighting or the disciples watching the martial arts competition, they all stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

It was the first floating platform!

On the first ring, dust had already completely spread out.

What was not shocking was that the base of the first floating ring was actually not flat at this time.

Instead, it leaned nearly ten degrees in one direction.

At this moment, a sect elder had already arrived. With a wave of his sleeve, a large amount of spiritual qi formed a violent wind and blew away the dust.

At this moment, Jiang Li and the others noticed that a mountain had actually appeared on the first combat arena at an unknown time!

It was a mountain peak that was more than twenty meters tall and looked like a fake mountain in the courtyard.

On one side of the mountain peak were pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water. They were vivid and lifelike.

On the other side of the mountain was the graveyard of an abandoned village. It was covered in scorched earth and withered trees. It was filled with a ghastly aura.

What… What a strange artifact.

Was it this thing that caused the entire first floating ring to tilt?

Jiang Li suddenly recalled the small mountain that the disciple of the Heaven and Earth Hall was dragging at that time. Wasn’t this mountain before him formed from that small mountain?

Such might was truly slightly shocking. Jiang Li felt that he was unable to go against it.

Wait a minute, it was impossible for the Heaven and Earth Hall disciple to use this thing for no reason.

If this thing was used and really crushed someone, how could his opponent survive?

This was not an external competition, but an internal sect competition. The sect clearly forbade people from intentionally killing each other. They were all fellow disciples, so it should not be allowed.
