Travel through the heavens

Chapter 297 Displaying Supernatural Powers

Yin Lie's punch, imbued with immense demonic power and carrying an aura of destruction capable of crushing everything, had a terrifying pressure that made the guards behind Gu Yueqing turn pale and their blood churn. Even the aura gathered in the battle formation trembled and seemed about to dissipate.

Gu Yueqing's pupils shrank sharply, knowing that the power of this punch must be extraordinary. In a flash, she swiftly waved her left hand, and the three talismans that were already in her palm simultaneously ignited without fire.

A talisman transformed into a yellow stream of light and entered Gu Yueqing's body. She immediately felt an immense power, as if she had become a celestial warrior capable of moving mountains and filling rivers.

This is the "Great Strength Talisman".

A talisman emitted a pale golden light, instantly unfolding a solid, eggshell-like golden light shield that adhered to Gu Yueqing's body. Runes flowed on the light shield, exuding an indestructible aura.

This is a "Vajra Protector".

The last talisman transformed into a condensed, almost tangible, silver-white stream of light, instantly wrapping around the spear in Gu Yueqing's hand. The spear hummed, and the cold light at its tip surged by more than a foot, flickering and undulating, its sharp aura seemingly capable of tearing through the void.

This is the "Sharpness Symbol".

With the blessing of the three talismans, Gu Yueqing's aura surged.

"Breaking the military!"

She let out a sharp shout, daring not to hold back in the slightest. She pushed her blood and qi to their limits, unleashing her power. Her spear, like a dragon emerging from the sea, carried overwhelming force and unstoppable sharpness as it fiercely pierced the core of the demonic fist energy.

"Boom!"

The spear tip collided with the fist's energy, and a deafening explosion, like a thunderclap from the heavens, resounded throughout the entire garrison general's mansion. The violent shockwave spread wildly outwards in a ring from the point of impact.

The courtyard ground looked as if it had been plowed, with layers of bluestone slabs lifted up and shattered. The flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard were uprooted, and the roof tiles of the houses near the front yard were shaken off.

"Crack!"

The pale golden "Diamond Amulet" shield on Gu Yueqing's body was the first to succumb to the immense force, cracking and shattering with a crash.

She felt an irresistible, brute force surging along the spear shaft, her arms trembled violently, her tiger's mouth instantly split open, blood staining the spear shaft red. The power brought by the Giant Strength Talisman quickly dissipated, and although the spear, which was enhanced by the Sharpness Talisman, was not destroyed, it was bent into a huge arc.

Gu Yueqing groaned, her body uncontrollably staggering back more than ten steps, each step leaving deep footprints on the ground. She managed to steady herself only by bracing the butt of her spear against the ground. She felt a metallic taste rising in her throat and finally couldn't hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained her moon-white front. Her face turned as pale as paper.

Although she managed to withstand the punch with the combined power of the three precious talismans, she also suffered severe internal injuries, with her meridians burning and her internal organs displaced.

Although her guards were not directly hit by the fist's energy, they were still shaken off balance by the shockwave, their blood churning and their faces filled with horror.

The power of the mountain lord was so terrifying that even the general, after casting three talismans, could not withstand it.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yin Lie's eyes. Although he hadn't used his full strength in that punch, it was still enough to shake mountains and shake peaks. He hadn't expected that this little girl could withstand it with her martial arts and talismans. Although she was seriously injured, she didn't die. This was truly beyond his expectations.

"As expected of a general guarding a prefecture, I underestimated you, little girl! Unfortunately, you're like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; you're ultimately overestimating yourself!" Yin Lie's sneer grew even stronger, his killing intent intensifying: "Take another punch from me, and let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"

He gave Gu Yueqing no chance to catch her breath. His dark red demonic aura surged, and he slowly retracted his right fist before unleashing it with an even more ferocious and domineering force.

This punch was like a blood-red meteor falling to earth.

The demonic power coalesced into a blood-red tiger that was almost tangible. It opened its massive jaws and let out a silent roar that shook the very soul, as if it wanted to completely annihilate everything in front of it.

Gu Yueqing's face was ashen. Three talismans were the limit she could activate. Now, her internal energy and blood were disordered and difficult to condense. Facing this stronger and more ferocious punch, she clearly felt the breath of death, like ice water, soaking her whole body.

This attack, delivered with all one's might, is unstoppable.

"You fiend, stop!"

Upon seeing this scene, the officers of the Zhenfu Division who had just arrived shouted in unison.

Gu Yueqing glanced towards the backyard, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, which was then replaced by a resolute expression.

Even if I die, I'll break a few of that old demon's teeth.

She forcefully concentrated her qi and blood, determined to burn her life force in one last desperate gamble!

At this critical moment, a figure in cyan appeared out of thin air in front of Gu Yueqing.

His appearance was so abrupt, as if he had always been standing there, or as if he had stepped out of nothingness.

He didn't display any earth-shattering momentum, nor did he make any complicated moves. He simply took half a step forward, raised his right arm, slightly curled his fingers, and met Yin Lie's powerful punch with his own fist.

This punch seemed ordinary, lacking both dazzling brilliance and intimidating power.

However, at the moment he unleashed his attack, Gu Yueqing and Yin Lie, who were closest to him, seemed to hear a deep, ancient dragon's roar and elephant's cry that seemed to transcend endless time and space. A majestic, heavy, and terrifying power that suppressed everything erupted from the seemingly unimpressive body of the newcomer, as if a sleeping ancient god had awakened.

“Boom!”

The two fists collided, producing a sound like muffled thunder from the heavens, or like two mountains clashing.

Yin Lie's violent and ferocious punch, powerful enough to crush boulders into dust, seemed to have struck an invisible yet indestructible barrier the moment it touched the attacker's fist, abruptly halting its forward momentum.

The solidified phantom of the tiger let out a mournful cry, then shattered inch by inch before the fist, and was annihilated by an even greater force.

There was no explosion, no shockwave, not even a superfluous sound. Yin Lie's earth-shattering punch was simply extinguished by the newcomer's fist.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

The officers of the Zhenfu Division seemed to be frozen in place, all stopping in their tracks. Like the guards of the General's Mansion, they all stared wide-eyed at this upheaval in disbelief.

"Is this the son-in-law?"

Gu Yueqing's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the tall, imposing figure blocking her way. A storm raged within her, and her pale face was filled with shock and bewilderment.

This man, who had just married her yesterday and was gentle and refined, even somewhat frail in her eyes, actually possessed such terrifying strength?!

Recalling his calm and composed demeanor during the day as he watched the capture of the Painted Skin Ghost, and his unfathomable gaze at dinner, it became clear that it wasn't feigned composure, but genuine confidence and fearlessness—the nonchalant ease befitting a strong person.

"Husband..."

Gu Yueqing subconsciously called out softly, her voice carrying a dependence and trembling that she herself was unaware of.
