Chapter 117 Little Chu's Flying Dagger
"you----"
Qin Yang looked down at the large hole in his chest.
Before he could finish speaking, his body fell straight backward.
Chu Xuan wiped away the few drops of blood from his fist, and was also somewhat shocked!
Is this the power of the Seven Bears and Five Tigers?
That's absolutely incredible!
His two punches just now were only based on physical strength, without even any added force!
If several layers of force are then combined—
Wouldn't one punch be enough to crush Qin Yang, the prodigy ranked 100th on the popularity list?!
Without much thought, Chu Xuan quickly stepped forward to touch the bodies. Just as he was about to bury the two bodies, a commotion came from not far away.
Chu Xuan immediately leaped away.
A moment later, a group of people dressed as martial artists arrived.
"Is this the place? There was quite a commotion just now; it must be nearby—"
"Look, everyone!"
"Oh my god!"
The group soon spotted the bodies of Qin Yang and his companion.
The other person was alright; he died from a dart piercing his heart. But Qin Yang's gruesome condition made them all gasp in horror.
A large hole was torn open in his chest.
shocking!
Horrible!
"This person looks like Qin Yang! Qin Yang, ranked one hundredth on the Xuan Yang Sect's popularity list? He actually died here?"
Someone recognized Qin Yang and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Qin Yang's ability to climb the popularity rankings speaks volumes about his strength; he's only one step away from reaching the Gang Jin realm!
"Who did he offend? Could it be someone with the '罡劲' (Gang Jin) technique?"
"It must be Gang Jin! Look at his injuries, he was clearly crushed by absolute power! It was definitely done by a Gang Jin expert—"
the other side.
After leaving the woods, Chu Xuan did not return to Xuan Yang Sect, but instead went back to Lingxiao City and booked a room at the Qingshan Clubhouse, planning to stay for one night and return to the sect the next day.
In this way, he at least has an alibi for Qin Yang's death.
night.
Chu Xuan was taking stock of his loot from the corpse-robbing session in his guest room.
He contributed over a thousand contribution points and over two thousand taels of gold. Ninety percent of that came from Qin Yang; the other disciple, whose name he couldn't recall, only contributed a small fraction!
-
This should not be Qin Yang's total income.
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
Who would come out to ambush someone and carry all their belongings with them?
Chu Xuan was satisfied; the income was enough to cover his expenses on purchasing the Spirit Gathering and Qi Strengthening Pill, and he even made a small profit.

[Energy Value: 637/5000]
【Overlord Blade Technique - Minor Success (2416/3000)】
Late at night, the lights flickered in the inn's bedroom.
Chu Xuan smiled when he saw the information on the panel.
After more than a month of arduous training, the experience points for the Overlord Blade Technique increased significantly again, but it was still some distance from perfection. Qin Yang and his companion were truly a timely help.
Without hesitation, Chu Xuan directly added his essence value to the Overlord Blade Technique.
The panel changed again in the next moment.
[Energy Value: 52/5000]
【Overlord Blade Technique - Mastery (1/10000)】
Immediately afterwards, a flood of insights into swordsmanship surged in, and the power within his dantian erupted with a thunderous roar. Chu Xuan's aura suddenly became sharp and fierce, and his entire body seemed to transform into an unparalleled longsword!
The raging sword intent erupted in full, condensing into a deathly silent sword domain within three feet of him.
"Ding~"
With a flick of his wrist, a two-inch-long, semi-transparent dagger formed from concentrated energy stood upright in his palm and slowly rotated.
"Is this the Gang Jin (罡劲)?"
Chu Xuan was amazed.
This Overlord Blade Technique is indeed domineering!
It actually allowed him to use techniques that only experts in the Gang Jin realm could use when he was at the Transformation Realm!
The so-called "gangjin" refers to the transformation of energy from emptiness to fullness.
It has transformed from something intangible and formless into something visible to the naked eye, something that can even be used for attacks outside the body.
When one has mastered the Lesser Perfection of the Overlord Blade Technique, one still needs the aid of a blade to gather energy into a powerful force!
After reaching the Great Perfection stage, even without a sword in hand, he can still unleash the Overlord Blade Technique, and with even greater power and ferocity!
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
The tables, chairs, wooden pillars, and blue bricks on the floor inside the room groaned under the weight of the load, and in an instant, they were covered with dense cracks.
With a thought, Chu Xuan instantly merged the translucent dagger into his palm, and its sharpness was completely concealed.
"The Overlord Blade Technique? That name...it's not right at all—"
Chu Xuan shook his head, amusing himself, and said, "I think 'Little Chu Flying Dagger' would be more fitting!"
He fantasized that he was like the young hero Li Xunhuan from a TV series he'd seen in his past life, descending from the sky with a throwing knife in hand, dressed in white, his aim flawless—
So dashing!
The next moment, he stopped laughing.
I felt weak all over, an indescribable fatigue spread throughout my body, and I felt completely drained!
Chu Xuan was horrified!
This Overlord Blade Technique is indeed powerful, but its energy consumption is far too great!
He has already achieved minor mastery of the Transformation Realm and is not far from achieving major mastery. However, just condensing the Qi Blade for this short while has already made him feel completely drained.
"It seems that this Overlord Blade Technique can only be used once before breaking through to the Great Perfection of Internal Energy. It could be used as a trump card!"
Chu Xuan was in a very good mood.
He felt that this strike was enough to threaten even a master of the罡劲 (Gang Jin) level.
This undoubtedly adds another trump card to their lifeline.
The next day, Chu Xuan came to Wanbaolou again.
After entering with the invitation, the auction proceeded as scheduled.
Just as Liu Chengzhi had said, most of the items that went up for auction were treasures, or even some strange and unusual things that Chu Xuan had never heard of before. Without exception, each one was extremely valuable.
Some of the pills made Chu Xuan extremely envious.
However, Chu Xuan did not participate in the bidding; he merely watched the spectacle.
It's not that I can't afford it, actually—
Okay, actually it's just that I can't afford it!
The several thousand taels of gold notes that Chu Xuan carried in his pocket often couldn't even reach the starting bid threshold. Some treasures were even restricted to bidding using contribution points.
-
So Liu Chengzhi sent him an invitation.
Otherwise, with his meager wealth, he probably wouldn't even qualify to enter.
After the auction ended, Liu Chengzhi approached him with a smile and said, "Junior Brother Chu, with so many items, didn't you find anything you liked?"
"There are quite a few things I like, but unfortunately I'm short of money."
Chu Xuan smiled and said, not trying to hide anything.
"Ha ha----"
Liu Chengzhi smiled kindly, "It's alright, Junior Brother Chu, you're now the manager of three beast gardens, and you contribute quite a few points every month. This auction is held almost every month, so there will be plenty of opportunities."
Chu Xuan nodded with a smile.
"Junior Brother Chu, are you going back to the sect?"
Liu Chengzhi asked.
Chu Xuan nodded.
"That's perfect, let's go together!" Liu Chengzhi invited Chu Xuan with a smile.
When the two emerged from Wanbaolou, a luxurious carriage was already waiting outside. The carriage was resplendent in gold, its frame crafted from black iron, and the horses pulling it were exceptionally large, appearing to be a full size larger than ordinary fine steeds!
The Liu family was a prominent family in Lingxiao Prefecture, and Liu Chengzhi, as the young master of the Liu family, naturally wouldn't rely on his own two feet to get around like Chu Xuan.
The value of this carriage alone probably exceeds Chu Xuan's entire fortune!
Chu Xuan cursed the rich bastard in his heart, and then, without hesitation, hitched a ride.
The carriage was marked with the Liu family's logo, and no one dared to intercept it, so the journey was smooth and unimpeded.
Upon arriving at Xuanyang Sect, Chu Xuan expressed his gratitude and then went to the Hundred Beasts Garden with Liu Chengzhi.
Upon arriving at Beast Garden No. 9, I saw several outer disciples gathered together, discussing something.
"Senior Brother Chu, you're back?"
An outer disciple jogged over, his face beaming with enthusiasm.
This man is named Zhang Cheng. He is in his thirties and entered the outer sect during the martial arts examination two years ago. However, he has been stuck for six years and has not been able to break through to the Gang Jin level. Now he has resigned himself to his fate and is content to spend his days in the Hundred Beast Garden. He used to stay in Beast Garden No. 8.
Chu Xuan transferred him over to be in charge of the affairs of the No. 9 Beast Garden.
Although he was more than ten years older than Chu Xuan, he addressed him as "Senior Brother" without any sense of incongruity.
Chu Xuan nodded and asked, "Has anything happened at the Beast Garden these past two days?"
"No, everything is fine," Zhang Cheng said.
"What were you talking about just now?" Chu Xuan asked.
It wasn't that he was gossipy, but rather that he overheard the group mentioning the name "Qin Yang."
Zhang Cheng immediately became beaming and said, "Senior Brother Chu, you don't know yet, do you? Qin Yang, ranked one hundredth on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, was ambushed and killed outside the sect yesterday!"
Chu Xuan looked "shocked" and said, "Who is so bold? And Qin Yang is able to make it onto the Wind and Cloud Ranking; he's probably not far from reaching the Gang Jin realm, right?"
Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know! The entire outer sect is talking about it. However, everyone in the outer sect is saying that this Qin Yang often intercepts and kills outer sect disciples, but no one has any evidence. This time, he may have just bitten off more than he could chew." After hearing this, Chu Xuan felt relieved.
Although Qin Yang was a prodigy on the popularity rankings, to the Xuan Yang Sect, he was no different from other outer disciples.
The sect's attitude is—nothing!
Only the living geniuses are geniuses! The dead are nothing.
Moreover, Qin Yang is only at the bottom of the popularity rankings and cannot be considered a true prodigy!
Of course, the sect did send people to investigate on the surface, but in the end, nothing came of it.
The Blood God Cult has become the scapegoat!
After the deacon in charge of the investigation returned, he announced that Qin Yang had been killed by members of the Blood God Cult, and reminded the outer disciples to be vigilant when going out.
After returning to his room, Chu Xuan began to ponder.
Did Zhao Qianyang arrange for Qin Yang to ambush him because he discovered something, or for some other reason?
Regardless of the reason, Chu Xuan was certain that Zhao Qianyang had his eye on him.
"I need to break through to the罡劲 (Gang Jin) level as soon as possible!"
A sense of urgency rose in Chu Xuan's heart, and even his good mood for breaking through the Overlord Blade Technique vanished!
Zhao Qianyang has become a thorn in his side, something that he must remove as soon as possible!
However, there is an insurmountable gap between Hua Jin and Gang Jin!
Most martial artists are stuck here and can never break through in their lifetime!
There are dozens of martial artists in Qingshan City who have reached the Transformation Realm, but only Jiang Wang has truly broken through to the Gang Realm. People like Lu Tong have been stuck for over a decade!
This gap was nothing to Chu Xuan.
But he was well aware that it was precisely because of the difficulty of the breakthrough that it would be a qualitative leap.
It's too difficult to use the strength of the Transformation Realm to fight against the Strength Realm!
This time, Zhao Qianyang chose Qin Yang, a master of the Transformation Realm, to deal with him. Next time, will he find a master of the罡劲 (Gang Jin) realm, or even take action himself?
【Two Elements Stance - Perfected (24257/50000)】
"Let's break through to the Great Perfection of Internal Energy first!"
Chu Xuan put away the panel and estimated that it would only take about ten days to reach the Great Perfection of Internal Energy.
This doesn't even include the exchange of essence points.
If we can kill a few more alien beasts in the next few days, the speed will be even faster!
After returning to his room, Chu Xuan took out a Spirit Gathering and Qi Strengthening Pill and swallowed it. Then, he assumed the Yin-Yang stance in the courtyard and began to cultivate.
"Useless! Idiot! Moron!"
"With a brain like that, you think you can make it onto the popularity charts? You're utterly useless—"
Zhao Qianyang's residence.
Enraged, Zhao Qianyang launched into another tirade of curses, this time directed at Qin Yang.
Although Qin Yang owed someone a favor, he still had to repay it. This time, he spent a lot of money to get the other party to help him!
The contribution points alone amount to two thousand!
Unexpectedly, the other party was so useless that not only did they fail to kill Chu Xuan, but they were also intercepted and killed!
"Father, do you think it might be Chu Xuan who did it?" Zhao Mingxu asked.
"What's wrong with your brain?!"
Zhao Qianyang angrily retorted, "Qin Yang is a martial artist who has reached the Great Perfection of the Transformation Realm. To be able to overwhelm him with sheer physical strength, the opponent must be a Gang Realm martial artist! How long has Chu Xuan been at the Transformation Realm? How could he possibly be a Gang Realm martial artist?"
Zhao Mingxu was sprayed with spittle, but he just smiled awkwardly and said, "Then why did Zhao Ming and Qin Yang die together?"
Zhao Ming was the martial artist Zhao Qianyang had assigned to keep an eye on Chu Xuan; he was a distant relative of Zhao Qianyang.
Zhao Qianyang sneered, "Qin Yang's favorite thing to do is resort to underhanded tactics. In the past two years, he's probably killed more than a dozen outer sect disciples. Otherwise, where do you think he got so many resources to climb the popularity rankings?"
This good-for-nothing is probably back to his old ways, trying to use underhanded tactics, but he's bitten off more than he can chew. As for Zhao Ming, he probably suffered an undeserved misfortune while reporting to him!
"It could also be Chu Xuanqian's. What if he's hiding his strength?" Zhao Mingxu said.
Zhao Qianyang glanced at him, but this time he didn't refute.
After a moment, he said indifferently, "If it really was Chu Xuanqian, then he deserves to die even more! That means your brother Yu is also very likely to die at his hands. If he doesn't die, my son and I will only have to wait to die!"
If it really is Chu Xuanqian's, then it means that he has the strength to step onto the Wind and Cloud Ranking in less than half a year since he entered the sect!
With such talent, as long as he doesn't die young, he will definitely enter the inner sect in the future, and may even become a true disciple. Since he has been offended, it is only natural to nip him in the bud.
"However, that's almost impossible!"
Zhao Qianyang shook his head and said, "If he has such talent, why would he need to stay in the Hundred Beast Garden? As long as he shows his talent, he will become a guest of honor of the major forces in Lingxiao Prefecture, with cultivation resources readily available, and even powerful people protecting him!"
Moreover, I've inquired. Chu Xuan returned to the sect today, and he was with Liu Chengzhi from the Liu family.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingxu breathed a sigh of relief, but then said with some reluctance, "Father, what should we do next? Who knows how long we'll have to wait for Chu Xuan to leave the sect!"
Zhao Qianyang snorted coldly, "Never mind him for now! I've asked a few friends to help you pull some strings and see if we can get you the manager of Beast Garden No. 13."
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
With a sufficient supply of pills, Chu Xuan's cultivation speed increased rapidly once again.
During these seven days, Chu Xuan also heard that Zhao Qianyang was pulling strings to get Zhao Mingxu appointed as the manager of Animal Park No. 13.
Chu Xuan then understood why Zhao Qianyang had asked Qin Yang to intercept and kill him.
It turns out they had their eyes on my position.
This annoyed Chu Xuan, but also brought him a sense of relief.
As long as the cause of Zhao Mingyu's death hasn't been discovered, it means we can still buy him some time.
-
Fortunately, the Spirit Gathering and Qi Consolidation Pill did not disappoint him. He thought it would take at least ten days to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Transformation, but he only took seven days and reached it after consuming one Spirit Gathering and Qi Consolidation Pill!
"I need to learn a technique to conceal the fluctuations of my aura!"
Although the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique could almost stop his breathing, making him as still as a stone, this effect was merely incidental. Its main purpose was to temper his body and improve his physical constitution. It had no effect on suppressing his aura or regulating his blood and qi.
Chu Xuan's first choice was naturally the Dharma Pavilion of the outer sect.
But when he thought of Song Hongguang, he shook his head.
Even someone like Song Hongguang could freely access the exchange records of the outer sect, so one can only imagine what it was like for others.
As for Wanbaolou, he had seen it at previous auctions, but the price was inflated.
That leaves only one option!
black market!
