Just then, a Buddhist chant was heard.
“Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, forgive others when you can.”

Chapter 82 A Battle of Qi Refining Realm
The next moment, a hand grabbed Li Boyang's arm.
Bang.
A thunderous explosion rang out.
The air in the entire area seemed to ripple and explode, and everyone felt a strong gust of wind blow inexplicably.
"Master Jueyuan, are you going to stop me?"
Li Boyang frowned, his calm tone conveying an unquestionable attitude.
It was Jueyuan who made the move, and Jueyuan was naturally a master of the Qi Refining Realm who could block Li Boyang's hammer. However, it was unknown what level of the Qi Refining Realm the opponent had reached.
The Qi Refining Realm has three minor stages: Qi Refining into Mist, Mist Refining into Silk, and Silk Refining into Liquid. Li Boyang can only be considered to have just entered the Qi Refining Realm; he hasn't even reached the first stage.
"Amitabha!"
Jueyuan chanted a Buddhist prayer, his face filled with compassion, and whispered:
“When you can be lenient, be lenient. This benefactor may have made a mistake, but giving him a lesson is enough. Why must you put him to death?”
Li Boyang countered, "I wonder if it had been your disciple who almost died just now, would you still be so merciful as Buddha?"
Seeing Jueyuan remain silent, it was clear that it was easy to talk without experiencing the consequences oneself.
Li Boyang said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way."
At this moment, Ba Chi'er, who had vomited several ounces of blood on the ground, choked out, "You can't kill me. I once studied under the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty. If you kill me, you'll be in big trouble."
"Do you think I would be concerned about Shi Le's successor?"
Shi Le was the Grand Preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty, but now the Yuan Dynasty was in dire straits, and his own wish was to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty. He and the Grand Preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty were mortal enemies. When he saw the other party threatening him with the Grand Preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty, he was almost amused.
Moreover, Ba Chier had only studied under Shi Le Jizu, and was not even a disciple. It's hard to say whether Shi Le Jizu even remembered him. But this was probably Ba Chier's lifeline.
Li Boyang said again in a deep voice, "Monk, you can't stop me."
Liu Bowen's heart skipped a beat. His teacher was about to get angry. Just a moment ago, he was addressing Master Jueyuan as "Master Jueyuan," but now he was calling him "monk."
Hearing Li Boyang say this, Jueyuan remained unmoved. He was a man of principle, and he felt that a slight punishment was enough for Ba Chier.
Seeing this, Li Boyang knew that the real test would come in a fight, so he stomped his right leg hard on the ground.
"An earthquake?"
Shen Rong felt the main hall shake slightly and quickly looked around.
As a result of this kick, Ba Chi'er was actually bounced up from the ground.
After shaking Ba Chi'er, Li Boyang formed a sword finger, and the innate true energy in his body rapidly gathered at his fingertips. As the sword finger was formed, he pointed it out, and the sharp, invisible true energy burst out of his body, shooting straight at Ba Chi'er's heart.
Having been in the Wudang world for half a year, Li Boyang had not yet obtained any Qi circulation techniques or martial arts moves to unleash the power of true Qi, but he had not neglected to explore his innate true Qi.
The invisible finger force emanating from the body is one of the results. It gathers the innate true energy in the body to the fingertips, and then strikes it out from a distance with a spiraling force.
The sharp finger strikes cut through the air and pierced the airflow with lightning speed.
Just as Li Boyang suddenly made his move, Jueyuan also moved.
Suddenly, waves of heat appeared on Jueyuan's palm. Even more astonishingly, his palm spontaneously combusted the next moment. In the instant his palm caught fire, Jueyuan raised his arm and transformed it into a hand blade, slashing down and striking the invisible finger force that shot out.
"Burning Wood Knife Technique?"
Li Boyang's expression was solemn. Jueyuan's move reminded him of the Burning Wood Saber Technique among the Seventy-Two Arts of Shaolin Temple. He originally thought it was just a set of Tang sword techniques, but he didn't expect that it could be used like this after entering the Qi Refining Realm.
"You have good insight, benefactor."
Jueyuan caught the thrown Bachi'er and nodded. He was using the Burning Wood Knife Technique. As the head of the Shaolin Temple's Discipline Hall, he naturally had access to many of the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts.
Li Boyang snorted coldly, took a step forward, and swung his arm to unleash the Tai Chi Heart-Piercing Cannon. This Heart-Piercing Cannon was so fast and fierce that it shattered even the air.
After reaching the Qi Refining Realm, the ability to strike silently was no longer available. However, it's not that it was completely gone; it's just that now, Li Boyang's innate true qi flows naturally within his body with every strike, bringing astonishing power with each attack.
Although the means of making a sound without making a sound, thus preventing the enemy from discerning the true nature of the attack, have been lost, each strike imbued with innate true energy is now vastly different in power than before, if one must use an analogy.
Before reaching the level of mastery, Li Boyang's maximum punch force was a thousand jin (approximately 500 kg). Now, his punch force is probably ten thousand jin (approximately 50 kg).
This is the amplification and enhancement of innate true qi, resulting in improvements in speed, strength, and even the body's sensory abilities.
That's why it's said that once you enter the Qi Refining Realm, you're no longer an ordinary person.
Jueyuan was also a master of the Qi Refining Realm, so he naturally knew how dangerous it was. He was holding Ba Chier in his arms, so he could only retreat one step at a time.
Li Boyang pressed forward again, turned around and swung his hand, striking out with his whip, showing no mercy once he gained the upper hand.
Helpless, Jueyuan could only put down Bachier and raise his palm to block.
Boom!
When their hands met, there was a thunderous explosion, followed by a powerful blast that sent the clothes of onlookers flying.
