Perhaps it would be more fitting to describe a teacher as a Confucian scholar from ancient times. He could govern the country and bring peace when he was off horseback, and defeat the enemy when he was on horseback. He was a man of both literary and military prowess, truly a man of both.
Seeing Liu Bowen's blank expression, Zhang Junbao knew that the other party was probably just as confused, so he didn't ask any more questions.
At that very moment.
The form of the fight has changed.
In the blink of an eye, Li Boyang forced Jueyuan back five steps with three consecutive advancing hammer blows, and the next moment he pointed his sword finger at Ba Chier, who was lying on the ground covered in blood.
call out
The force of the air shot out with lightning speed.
puff.
The next moment, a bloodstain appeared on Ba Chier's chest. The force of the energy pierced through Ba Chier's chest and instantly destroyed his heart meridian, causing his heart to stop beating immediately.
After Li Boyang unleashed his invisible finger strike, he crouched down and sprang up, leaping ten meters high. He immediately jumped away from Jueyuan and slowly descended through the air, as if an invisible parachute was hanging on his body. With one leap, he arrived next to Liu Bowen.
Back in the Tianyuan World, he wondered why those in the Acquired Realm could glide through the air like birds, but now that he had reached the Qi Refining Realm, he naturally understood.
In the instant he leaped, the circulation of his innate true energy reduced his body mass. However, he had not yet learned any lightness skills; he was merely instinctively controlling his true energy, and could only perform such simple leaps.
As for lightness skill, it involves using innate true energy to stimulate the body while leaping. Depending on the type of lightness skill, some are extremely fast, while others are highly skilled at using momentum, which is beyond his current ability to match.
"Amitabha, benefactor, you have such a cruel heart."
Jueyuan did not pursue him. After chanting a Buddhist prayer, he sighed, turned around, and recited a passage from the Rebirth Sutra to the deceased Jueyuan.
There's no point in continuing the fight; Ba Chi'er is already dead. The reason the two were arguing was because one wanted to save Ba Chi'er, and the other wanted to kill him.
Now that the outcome is in, with Ba Chier dead, and since the two had no enmity to begin with, there is naturally no need for them to continue fighting.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Upon seeing Li Boyang leave the battlefield, Liu Bowen quickly asked.
"It's alright."
Li Boyang patted his sleeves, straightened his clothes, and took a deep breath to even out his breathing.
Although the battle with Jueyuan seemed short, it was a full-force fight that consumed a lot of energy. A third of his innate true energy was gone, and even with the recovery speed of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, he was finding it hard to keep up.
"Master, are you alright?"
Zhang Junbao and Grasshopper rushed to Jueyuan's side immediately. They were even more worried than Liu Bowen, since Jueyuan had been at a disadvantage from the scene.
"Alas, what a pity for a life lost. Let's go, leave Huangjue Temple, and continue on our way."
"Benefactor Li, may we meet again someday."
Jueyuan shook his head, not wanting to say anything more, and left Huangjue Temple with Zhang Junbao and Grasshopper.
As Zhang Junbao left, he glanced at Shen Rong again, seemingly trying to remember her appearance.
Shen Rong didn't even glance at Zhang Junbao; she didn't have a good impression of him. She walked gracefully to Li Boyang's side, placed her hands on her stomach, bowed slightly, and said:
"Shen Rong thanks you for your help earlier, sir."

Chapter 84 Leaving Huangjue Temple
"Are you Shen Wansan's daughter?"
After carefully examining Shen Rong, I noticed that she was wearing expensive Shu brocade, and that wasn't all; the pendant around her neck and the bracelet on her wrist were actually made of Tianhuang jade.
Ordinary people might not be able to tell the difference, but how could Li Boyang not recognize it? Tianhuang jade is the king of jade, and can be said to be priceless.
Shen Rong smiled and said, "Does the master also know my father?"
"Who hasn't heard of your father's reputation as the richest man in Jiangnan?"
Li Boyang nodded. Shen Wansan was more than just the richest man in Jiangnan; that was just a modest way of putting it. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the richest man in the whole country.
Shen Wansan was not his real name, but a name given to him by the public. His real name was Shen Fu, and Wansan meant "three outstanding men among ten thousand households," a nickname for someone extremely wealthy.
Shen Wansan started his business by dealing in land. After accumulating a certain amount of capital, he bought ships and went overseas to trade with foreign countries. He had a presence in Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. After expanding his business, he established Wantong Trading Company, and eventually his business spread throughout the Central Plains.
However, he found it strange that Huangjue Temple was in the north, while the Shen family was far away in the south. Why would Shen Rong travel all the way to Huangjue Temple? But he didn't ask too much, since he and Shen Wansan probably had no connection.
"You're too kind, sir. May I ask your name?"
Shen Rong looked up at Li Boyang, her gaze lingering on him. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head.
Although Li Boyang was of average appearance, after entering the Qi Refining Realm, the aura of a martial arts master became more and more prominent. In addition, after spending the past six months studying classics, he naturally carried the noble spirit of a Confucian scholar.
The combination of these two qualities makes one a scholar-general, possessing both literary and martial skills, and this scholar-general quality easily wins the favor of strangers.
"Just call me Boyang."
Li Boyang found the other person's behavior strange. He didn't think there was anything wrong with him, so why did this little girl always blush while talking to him?
"Mr. Boyang, could you please tell me where I live? I'd like to visit you another day to express my gratitude."
Shen Rong didn't know why she said that, but the words just slipped out of her mouth, and her cheeks flushed even more.
"The teacher is an instructor at Songyang Academy..."
