The moment Li Boyang grabbed Zuoqiu Leshan's hand, Zuoqiu Leshan frowned, seemingly not expecting Li Boyang to dodge his sneak attack.
The next moment, a spiraling, coiling force suddenly surged from his right wrist, the excruciating pain causing Zuoqiu Leshan to let out a muffled groan. He then kicked out, forcing Li Boyang back, and glared at him with a sinister expression, saying:
"You're asking for it, kid."
Li Boyang completely disregarded Zuoqiu Leshan's words and calmly said:
"The sect rules forbid inner disciples from killing each other, so you definitely won't die."
Li Boyang didn't use his full strength when he pinched and shook the other party just now; otherwise, the other party would have experienced more than just pain.
After being promoted to an inner disciple, he memorized the rules that inner disciples needed to follow, doing so to deliberately provoke the other party.
The sect rules stipulate that inner disciples are allowed to deliberately spar, but are not allowed to maim. However, if the attacker has the intention to kill, it is different. Even if the defender kills the attacker, it is considered normal self-defense.
Since he was working within the system, he naturally had to follow the familiar rules in order to gain maximum freedom, a principle Li Boyang understood well.
A year ago, due to Zuoqiu Leshan's interference, he was imprisoned for a year instead of being confined to the abyss. Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone someone who was not a saint.
Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to get back the money I lost a year ago.
"You brat, prepare to die."
As expected, Zuoqiu Leshan was provoked by him and immediately became furious. His Adam's apple bobbed, and a tiger's roar resounded through the sky. He transformed into a fierce tiger and pounced.
Although he suffered a setback at Li Boyang's hands, he only thought it was due to his own carelessness. Even if Li Boyang had entered the Qi Refining Realm, it would only be a year at most.
He had already entered the Qi Refining Realm three years ago, and now half of the Quanzhen Innate True Qi had been liquefied. How could a mere Qi Refining Realm beginner be his opponent?
Today, no matter what, we must teach the other party a lesson and let Li Boyang know that the dignity of the Ten Great Disciples cannot be challenged, otherwise how can I maintain my position among the Ten Great Disciples?
"Good timing."
Seeing Zuoqiu Leshan's expected angry attack, a smile flashed across Li Boyang's lips. He was just afraid that the other party wouldn't make a move.
With a swing of his right hand, his large palm shattered the air and slapped directly at Zuoqiu Leshan's face.
Bang.
Zuoqiu Leshan's fist collided with Li Boyang's palm.
Are you surprised?
Seeing Zuoqiu Leshan's surprised expression, Li Boyang smiled knowingly, unleashed his Snake-like Leaping Technique, and pounced like a venomous snake, bringing down the Tai Chi hammer.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Once in battle stance, Li Boyang completely forgot everything and unleashed a dozen powerful blows with the essence of Tai Chi, each strike carrying the immense force to destroy cities and mountains, colliding head-on with Zuo Qiu Leshan's Tiger-Style Fist.
"How could that be?"
After staggering back more than ten steps, Zuoqiu Leshan stared at Li Boyang in shock. The other party was not a beginner in the Qi Refining Realm at all; he was at the same level as him, liquefying his innate true qi, and even had more liquefied innate true qi than him.
What's even more frightening is that Li Boyang fights as if he's risking his life, and a thought of fear flashed through my mind.
The opponent's strength was definitely at the level of one of the top ten disciples. How could I have been at a disadvantage in a head-on clash with them in just one year?
He could never have known that for Li Boyang, time was not just a year, but ten years; it took ten years of effort to achieve such results.
Just as fear began to creep into his heart, before he could even make a move, he saw Li Boyang approaching again, so Zuoqiu Leshan had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet him head-on.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In a short while, the two exchanged more than ten blows. Suddenly, Zuoqiu Leshan's figure blurred, creating some distance between himself and Li Boyang. His hands transformed into tiger claws, and he made a grasping motion in mid-air, unleashing several tiger-shaped claw strikes.
Want to fight? I'm not afraid of you.
Snake-like foxes are naturally good at explosive power; they always seek out others for hit-and-run tactics, and there's no reason for anyone to fight them.
With a flash, Li Boyang disappeared from his spot and dodged the Tiger Claw Force, then entangled Zuoqiu Leshan once more.
For a moment, Zuoqiu Leshan ran and Li Boyang chased, their fierce energy radiating in all directions. Their battle almost overturned the courtyard halfway up the mountain.
The mountainside is where the inner disciples live. Although most of the inner disciples have been sent to the wilderness, some have remained in the Dongyang Sect.
The commotion caused by the two of them couldn't be kept secret, and soon people came out from their courtyard.

Chapter 172 Ten Years of Change
Li Boyang was engrossed in the battle and didn't notice that a dozen or so people had appeared nearby, watching him and Zuoqiu Leshan engage in a fierce chase and escape.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Once he entered battle mode, he only had Zuoqiu Leshan as his enemy. As long as the others didn't cause trouble, they were all treated like wooden puppets.
"Hey, isn't that Zuoqiu Leshan, one of the sect's top ten disciples?"
"It seems that's true."
Zuoqiu Leshan was clearly a well-known figure in the Qi Refining Realm, and the Qi Refining Realm disciples who came out of their courtyards to watch the commotion immediately recognized him.
The group of people chatted amongst themselves like onlookers, showing no intention of making a move.
One of them said:
"Who is that fierce man who chases Zuoqiu Leshan around? I don't think I've ever seen him before."
The other person replied:
