As he let out a shout, a trace of true qi actually appeared on his body.
This was a master of internal energy; once one possessed true qi, ordinary people would be no match for them. Take Hu Zhicheng, for instance. Though a well-trained soldier, he was ultimately just an ordinary person. Without true qi, there was little he could accomplish.
For example, if he were to face this security guard, with true qi manifesting, a direct confrontation would mean disaster for him.
This was the essence of "strength overcomes all."
Lin Xiao watched as Ming Yi's finger pointed at the man's brow. The sliver of true qi that had just emerged was suppressed the next second.
To be precise, it wasn't suppressed; it was shattered.
This true qi was not something substantial. It wasn't cultivated by themselves but was born through drugs and a seemingly assembly-line process of suggestion, resulting in a faint, almost imperceptible true qi within their bodies.
Once they experienced emotions or developed their own thoughts, this true qi became difficult to mobilize.
Let alone the fact that Ming Yi was the top-ranked martial arts grandmaster on the Human Ranking. This was effortless for him.
"The God of Ultimate Bliss, is this all the protection you were given?" Ming Yi pressed further.
"You... don't understand!"
The security guard, pinned down, his eyes remained as frenzied as ever, his faith in the God of Ultimate Bliss unwavering.
"He gave me a new life, gave me everything, gave me a future. Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today!"
"And you, who we have confined here now?" Ming Yi countered. "Or are you about to be locked up with this person? Do you still believe the God of Ultimate Bliss has given you anything?"
"The power of a god..."
"Is this so-called divine power... You're spitting blood now, did the god make you spit blood?" Ming Yi interrupted. "You couldn't feel pain because they suppressed your pain receptors. For example, if your hand is broken now, and your god's power makes you unable to feel pain, then if I were to make you feel pain now, would that mean I am more powerful than your god?"
As Ming Yi spoke, he acted.
His hand struck the man's head, and true qi slowly flowed in.
After about ten seconds, nine silver needles were expelled.
"Look."
Ming Yi waved the nine silver needles before the security guard's eyes.
"You can't..."
Before he could finish, the security guard's gaze fell upon his wrist, which Lin Xiao had just broken. An expression of utter disbelief spread across his face, followed by intense pain flooding his brain.
He hadn't felt such pain in so long. The moment this agony struck, his face contorted uncontrollably in a wild spasm.
Not only his face twitched; the pain swept over him, and he lost all control.
"Ahhh! Aaaah!"
Sharp cries emanated from his mouth; the sensation of this pain was terrifying.
It was at this moment that Ming Yi's voice continued to echo in his ears, "Tell me, what else has your God of Ultimate Bliss given you? I have restored you to the feeling of a normal human. So, am I not more powerful than your god now? Can you clearly realize this?"
"Perhaps, your god... doesn't exist at all?"
