High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 56 The Uninvited Guest Arrives, the Great Sun Divine Fist Displays its Power

Inside Lin Hanzhou's room.

He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, as if he had become one with the darkness of the room.

He was diligently cultivating the Xuan-rank, high-grade "Concealing Breath Technique".

As the cultivation technique was activated, the aura emanating from him, that of a peak third-tier expert, began to become extremely unstable.

One moment it transformed into the aura of a first-order Qi Opening Realm cultivator, and the next it emitted the fluctuations of a second-order Qi Gathering Realm cultivator.

This is his attempt to perfectly control his own aura.

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, Lin Hanzhou abruptly opened his tightly closed eyes.

A dazzling golden light flashed and disappeared in his eyes.

His gaze instantly pierced through the wall, looking in a direction hundreds of meters away.

Just a moment ago, he keenly sensed that an aura of a fourth-order True Essence Realm expert was approaching him.

"One is at the fourth level of the True Essence Realm, and the other is... at the second level of the Qi Gathering Realm?"

Lin Hanzhou's brows furrowed slightly.

He could simply ignore that second-tier Qi Gathering Realm cultivator.

However, the aura of that fourth-tier True Essence Realm cultivator forced him to take it seriously.

In the Blue Bay residential community where he lives, even the third floor is rarely seen on ordinary days.

Why did a fourth-level True Essence Realm expert suddenly appear?

Could it be that I've given myself away somewhere?

Lin Hanzhou quickly reviewed all his actions after returning to the real world in his mind.

Trading on the black market? That seems unlikely.

The black market has its own rules, and reputation comes first.

Moreover, he remained highly vigilant throughout the entire transaction and did not disclose any personal information.

So... was it because you showed your second-tier cultivation level at the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce and attracted attention?

If that's the case, then it shouldn't be like that.

How could a mere second-tier martial artist possibly deserve such a personal visit from a fourth-tier True Essence Realm expert?

This is completely illogical.

Lin Hanzhou quickly realized that regardless of whether the other party was targeting him or not, he had to prepare for the worst.

Just to be on the safe side, he decided to hide for now and wait and see.

Although judging from his aura, that fourth-level True Essence Realm cultivator was only at the first level of the fourth level, and his foundation was not very solid.

With his current peak third-tier cultivation and numerous methods, he was absolutely confident that he could kill him!

But this is the real world, not a dream world, so he doesn't have a resurrection suit.

More importantly, this is a densely populated urban area.

Once action is taken, the resulting commotion will undoubtedly be earth-shattering.

If things escalate and attract the attention of powerful figures, it will do him no good.

As the saying goes, it's better to avoid trouble.

Having made up his mind, Lin Hanzhou activated the "Concealing Breath Technique" to conceal his aura.

The next moment, all the aura and spiritual energy fluctuations on his body slowly disappeared from the room.

It was as if he had never been here at all.

……

Lanwan Residential Complex, downstairs from Lin Hanzhou's building.

Two figures emerged from the shadows like ghosts.

These two people are Zhang Yiran and Qiao Fang.

"Uncle Qiao, can you sense Lin Hanzhou's presence?"

Zhang Yiran looked up at the dark apartment building above, her eyes gleaming with excitement and greed.

Qiao Fang closed his eyes, and the powerful perception belonging to a fourth-level True Yuan Realm expert instantly enveloped the entire building.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"strangeness……"

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Yiran pressed for an answer.

"Miss, I can clearly sense every single person in this building."

Qiao Fang paused, a hint of doubt in her voice.

"But for some reason, I just can't sense Lin Hanzhou's presence."

"Is it possible that the other person isn't home?"

"impossible!"

Zhang Yiran rejected the idea without even thinking.

"My men have been keeping an eye on him outside the neighborhood. According to the surveillance, he hasn't left the house since he came back from the black market."

"That means he's definitely at home right now."

At this point, her tone shifted, and an even more fervent light shone in her eyes.

"If we can't sense his presence... then there's only one explanation."

"He has most likely already entered that hidden spiritual void."

This wave of speculation has almost completely confirmed Zhang Yiran's belief in the existence of that unknown spiritual void.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Fang nodded in agreement.

"It is indeed possible, and the possibility is quite high."

As for why he didn't sense any spatial fluctuations...

Qiao Fang automatically came up with a reasonable explanation in her mind.

That might be because the fluctuations in that spatial channel were extremely small.

He needs to be very close for him to notice.

"Let's go, we'll just go straight to their house."

Unable to contain her excitement, Zhang Yiran was the first to enter the building.

Led by Qiao Fang, a True Essence Realm martial artist, the two appeared directly at Lin Hanzhou's home.

As for door locks, they're like children's toys to a fourth-tier martial artist—they'll break at the slightest touch.

The room was pitch black and deathly silent.

"Uncle Qiao, have you found it? The entrance to Lingxu?"

Zhang Yiran's tone was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Qiao Fang did not answer.

His hawk-like eyes warily scanned his surroundings.

The room was tidy, and everything seemed normal.

But it is precisely because it is so normal that it seems incredibly eerie.

His combat intuition, typical of a fourth-tier expert, was frantically warning him.

He was about to speak, to warn his young mistress to be careful.

But before he could speak, he suddenly sensed an extra presence in the room.

Before them, in the center of the previously empty living room, a figure had appeared out of nowhere.

The man was dressed in a black robe and wore a pale mask on his face.

Immediately afterward, before they could react, the other party suddenly unleashed a punch.

"Didn't your mother tell you that the first thing you should do when entering someone else's house is knock?"

"The Great Sun Fist!"

A terrifying fist imprint, as bright as the sun, instantly filled their entire field of vision.

The force of the punch carried a surging heat wave powerful enough to melt steel instantly.

The moment Qiao Fang sensed this deadly threat, he was terrified.

Without a second thought, he unleashed the full power of his inner energy.

He transformed into a blur, dodging to the side.

He dodged it, but Zhang Yiran, who was beside him, was not so lucky.

The fist imprint that was originally aimed at Qiao Fang actually struck her body.

"No--!"

Zhang Yiran looked terrified. She wanted to hide, but with only a second-level cultivation, what could she possibly use to hide?

"Buzz!"

At the critical moment, a protective jade pendant she wore close to her body automatically activated.

It was a protective jade pendant crafted by her father, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a third-tier martial artist.

A layer of pale blue light enveloped her.

"boom!"

The fist imprint, as bright as the sun, collided violently with the pale blue light shield!

The blue light shield only lasted for a short while.

"Snap!"

With a crisp cracking sound, the priceless protective jade pendant shattered.

Immediately afterwards, the fist force containing the true fire of the great sun enveloped her delicate body without any hindrance.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream came from the golden flame.

In a short while, the flames dissipated.

Zhang Yiran was burned to a crisp, her clothes torn to shreds, and she lay on the ground, barely alive, like a piece of charcoal.

If she hadn't possessed other life-saving treasures, she probably would have been blasted to her death on the spot by that punch.

Even so, her once stunningly beautiful face had been burned beyond recognition.

She no longer possessed that haughty and beautiful demeanor she once had.

"Young Miss!"

Qiao Fang, who had narrowly escaped death, was furious upon seeing this scene.

He rushed forward, trying to save his young mistress.

"hehe."

Lin Hanzhou let out a cold laugh.

He had overheard their conversation from the shadows.

Coveting his secret?

They even sent people to monitor him?

He would naturally show no mercy to someone who deliberately comes to his door seeking death.

The Great Sun True Fire in his hand erupted once more.

Another, even more ferocious "Great Sun God Fist" was unleashed towards Qiao Fang.
