Chapter 39: One Hit Kill!

"Boy, watch your words!" the Half Step Innate old man bellowed in anger, "Are you saying you want to kill me?"

"Why not?" Xiao Chen's expression remained calm.

"It's not that you can't, it's that you don't have the ability!"

"Ha!"

Xiao Chen smiled again without answering, and instead asked, "Have you ever heard the trembling of a sword?"

"The trembling of a sword?"

The old man's brows furrowed slightly, displaying a hint of wariness.

Intuition told him that the young man before him, barely eighteen or nineteen years of age, was truly no ordinary individual and might indeed pose a threat to him.

"Nonsense, let me show you the gap between the peak of Inner Strength and Half Step Innate!"

An Inner Strength martial artist has inner qi within their body, but in the Innate Realm, the body's inner qi is transformed into True Qi.

As a Half Step Innate, the old man had already converted a great portion of his inner qi into True Qi.
