Chapter 179 Moving Blood to the Three Realms, Night Raid on the Luo Clan

"This plan is brilliant!" Everyone nodded slightly.

A strategy doesn't need to be sophisticated or vulgar; as long as it's effective, that's enough.

With the top brass of the Four Seas Gang gone, only Qiao Qiliang is left fighting alone. What kind of trouble can he possibly cause?
At this moment, someone spoke up: "However, I have heard that there is a hidden master in the Four Seas Gang. This person is called Su Chen, and he is the nominal deputy leader of the Four Seas Gang. The failure of our plan this time is largely due to this person."

"Do you know his strength?" Luo Changxiao frowned slightly and asked the elder.

Luo Yu's calm voice rang out: "I have fought with him before, he should be at the Blood Transformation Realm 2."

Upon hearing this, Luo Changxiao chuckled and said, "What is there to fear with such strength? Sending Huaiwen alone will be enough to capture and kill this person."

“Let Huaiwen and Huaiwu go together,” Luo Pei, the deputy clan chief of Jiu Mo, declared decisively.

"Yes."

Afterwards, the group discussed other matters.

After returning from the black market, Su Chen secluded himself to cultivate.

After three days of using in-game currency, I finally completed the panel requirements and brought the progress to a perfect state.

Su Chen directly activated the simple mode on the communication panel.

[Easy Mode Activated: Take a warm bath for 30 minutes to train your Vajra Iron Shirt skill to the third level.]

After half an hour.

"He really broke through!"

Feeling the surging energy within his body, a smile appeared on Su Chen's face.

From a state of "qi and blood like smoke" to one of "qi and blood like a dragon," the amount of qi and blood doubles.

Once revealed, the qi and blood become almost tangible, and the person becomes like a humanoid beast, terrifying beyond measure.

In addition, the total amount of energy has increased nearly fivefold, and the energy within the body is like a mighty river flowing endlessly.

The most direct manifestation of this was that Su Chen's control over his internal energy instantly returned to the level he had when he only had three golden needles, after he had only condensed twenty golden needles.

"Next, I will only do three things: refine the golden needles, refine the golden needles, refine the golden needles!"

This change made Su Chen determined that for the next period of time, he would do nothing but refine golden needles.

With Su Chen's tireless and dedicated practice, he condensed fifty golden needles in less than three days.

The increase in strength is not without its benefits; at least the speed of condensing golden needles has increased significantly.

"With fifty golden needles, one can already use the basic techniques of 'sealing' and 'killing' to generate force."

The 7,200 techniques for generating power using the golden needle technique, besides regular manipulation, are mostly used in combat.

Among these, there are four main categories: 'sealing', 'trapping', 'killing', and 'formation'.

In short, it means trapping the enemy through meticulous calculations and then killing them.

The methods of sealing and trapping are similar, as are killing and formation. The only difference is the number of golden needles, the number of people involved, and the strength of the killing power.

Then, Su Chen tested the power of the fifty golden needles.

They quickly concluded that, in terms of power, fifty golden needles were equivalent to the fifth level of the sword-drawing technique.

However, the advantage of the sword-drawing technique lies in its unexpectedness, while the Xuanxin style focuses on trickiness and crushing power. If used properly, it may be able to unleash even greater power.

"Young Master Su, something terrible has happened! My young master is in trouble."

After the test ended, Su Chen planned to continue refining new golden needles, but an urgent shout from outside the door interrupted him.

A servant came running up, sweating profusely and panting heavily. Upon seeing Su Chen, he hurriedly shouted, "Young Master Su, Young Master Li Mo has been captured!"

The man who arrived was a servant of the Zhang family. Although Su Chen did not recognize him, upon hearing this, he immediately asked, "Who captured him?"

"I don't know either. My wife told me to come find you right away."

"Take me there," Su Chen said without hesitation.

"Yes!"

The two quickly left the Qiao residence. Servants led Su Chen through the streets and alleys at a fast pace, but the locations became increasingly remote.

Suddenly, the servant stopped in his tracks and said, "Sir, the person has been brought."

An elderly man with graying temples stood in front of the two, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Upon hearing the servant's words, the old man waved his hand and replied impatiently, "Get lost."

The servant responded and hurriedly left.

Not long after he left, Su Chen sensed a hidden aura behind him. He turned around and saw another old man appear.

The two men trapped Su Chen in the alley from both sides.

"People from the Luo family?" Su Chen frowned and guessed, noticing their attire.

"Hehe, I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect you to fall for it so easily. You're still too young," Luo Huaiwu said quietly.

"Second brother, stop wasting words with him, I'll take him down first."

Standing behind Su Chen, Luo Huaiwen let out a cold shout, stomped his foot hard, and transformed into a cannonball, leaping in front of Su Chen in an instant.

His palm trembled slightly, and a surge of energy emanated from it.

Luo Huaiwen's first move was a fierce killing move, unleashing his immense power, which wrapped around his arms like a layer of blue armor.

Immediately, he raised his palm, let out a long roar, and his steel palm, imbued with terrifying power, slashed down diagonally, like a mountain crashing down on Su Chen.

Su Chen's eyes flashed, and a hint of fighting spirit quietly emerged deep within them.

Facing Luo Huaiwen's palm strike filled with murderous intent, Su Chen remained calm.

With a backhand motion, he clenched his fist, gathering his internal strength at the tip of his fist, like a longbow being drawn back, and then unleashed a punch.

boom!
Fist and palm collided in an instant, and two terrifying forces struck each other.

Invisible shockwaves rippled outwards, causing the walls on both sides to collapse as if struck by a heavy blow, raising clouds of dust.

The deep voice resounded like thunder, and both Luo Huaiwen and Su Chen felt their eardrums suddenly vibrate.

Dengdengdeng.

Under the brutal impact, a figure staggered backward, and Luo Huaiwen pushed off to steady himself.

He looked at Su Chen in surprise, only to see that the other man stood tall and straight like a pine tree, without moving an inch.

"Second brother, I am no match for him alone. Let's attack together."

The brief exchange made Luo Huaiwen realize Su Chen's prowess, so he decisively sought help from Luo Huaiwu.

Without hesitation, Luo Huaiwu rushed over to join forces with Luo Huaiwen, attacking Su Chen from both sides.

The two men unleashed fierce attacks, displaying the power of the Fourth Realm of Blood Transformation. Their boundless blood energy resembled two towering pillars of blood, exceptionally striking.

"kill!"

Luo Huaiwu let out a cold shout, his killing intent palpable.

Zheng.

The sword was drawn, slicing through the sky and tearing through the air, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

Holding the sword, Luo Huaiwu's aura suddenly changed. He gripped it in reverse, and a faint layer of light immediately enveloped the sword.

With a gentle stroke, the air seemed to split apart as if cut by a sharp sword.

Taking advantage of the fight between Su Chen and Luo Huaiwen, Luo Huaiwen gripped his sword tightly and thrust it out suddenly.

The force of his body surged toward the sword like a tide the moment he thrust it out.

The sword gently touched Su Chen's location, and an invisible wave seemed to ripple through the air. The sword's energy surged and boiled, pouring out towards the point of light.

All of this may seem slow, but it actually happens within microseconds.

Su Chen, who was fighting Luo Huaiwen, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He held nothing back and unleashed a powerful palm strike.

This palm strike was quite sudden; Luo Huaiwen never expected that a martial artist at the third level of the Blood Transformation Realm could unleash such power far exceeding his own level.

The moment his palm clashed with Su Chen's, his expression changed drastically. He was then sent flying backward, coughing up blood, and fainting without any power to resist.

After dealing with Luo Huaiwen, Su Chen dared not be careless at all; the terrifying power behind him made the hairs on his body stand on end.

His gaze sharpened, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Seal!"

In the blink of an eye, fifty powerful golden needles suddenly condensed behind Su Chen.

These golden needles seemed to have eyes, and they all shot out at the same time.

Bang bang bang!
The sound, like firecrackers exploding, resounded throughout the surrounding area.

"what!"

Upon seeing the fifty golden needles raining down upon him, a look of horror appeared on Luo Huaiwu's face.

Fifty golden needles, half of which hindered his attack, and half of which shot towards his body, forcing him to change direction and withdraw his move.

Even so, it was still too late.

The golden needles were too fast; they struck his arm and forearm as he swung his sword, and a heart-wrenching pain suddenly spread throughout his body from the wounds.

Even more terrifying is that the moment the golden needle pierced the body, it exploded into countless tiny threads of energy, which rapidly spread to the limbs, bones, and internal organs.

Even with his strength, he couldn't react immediately in such a short time.

When the force was at its peak, he could no longer hold back and let out a painful roar.

Snapped!
Just then, Su Chen silently approached Luo Huaiwen and struck him in the face with a palm strike.

The crisp sound of the slap was like a thunderclap, sending him tumbling several times before crashing into the wall.

The already overburdened walls protested again, but could not stop their further disintegration.

In less than ten breaths, Su Chen had dealt with Luo Huaiwen and Luo Huaiwu, two warriors at the fourth level of the Blood Transformation Realm.

Inside a dimly lit room in an abandoned house.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Even though he had already passed out, Luo Huaiwu could still hear the sound of slaps coming from beside his ears.

Why is the sound of the slap getting more and more indistinct, but my cheek is getting more and more painful?

As if realizing something, he forced open his heavy eyelids, and his pupils contracted when he saw Su Chen's raised arm.

Snapped!
Su Chen naturally saw that Luo Huaiwu had woken up, but he couldn't help feeling a little regretful that the raised hand didn't come down.

"You..." After being slapped, Luo Huaiwu was furious and glared at Su Chen.

"Luo Huaiwen has already told me your identities. He used all his savings to buy his life. What about you?"

Su Chen withdrew his hand and said indifferently.

"This idiot!" Luo Huaiwu had no doubt about the truth of Su Chen's words; he knew his elder brother too well.

Despite their names suggesting a scholarly and a warriorly nature, Luo Huaiwen is actually a reckless brute with absolutely no brains.

"If you dare to kill us, the Luo family will not let you off the hook." Luo Huaiwu snorted coldly, showing no respect whatsoever.

Su Chen smiled dismissively upon hearing this: "You are far inferior to your elder brother. He knows how to assess the situation, but you do not."

These words caused Luo Huaiwu's expression to change drastically. He sensed Su Chen's murderous intent, took a deep breath, and said the most accurate words in the coldest tone: "My money is all in the mansion."

"Where are the Qi and Blood-nourishing pills?" Su Chen asked.

"Put it in the study."

"how many?"

"Three Blood Strengthening Pills and twenty Qi and Blood Pills."

Through their question-and-answer session, Su Chen roughly learned about the two men's assets.

"Although you're very cooperative, you're more like a fool compared to your older brother."

"What did you say?" Luo Huaiwu was furious upon hearing Su Chen's words.

"Isn't that right? To believe so easily that I would let you go, what else could you be but a fool?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen slapped Luo Huaiwu on the top of his head. Luo Huaiwu stared at Su Chen with a face full of resentment, and did not close his eyes until he died.

Su Chen didn't pay attention, pulled off Luo Huaiwu's clothes, and then stared at Luo Huaiwu.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Chen disposed of Luo Huaiwu's body, then changed into his clothes and disguised himself, already resembling Luo Huaiwu in nine-tenths.

Looking at the sky outside the window, Su Chen's lips curled into a cold smile, and a murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

Unlike Qiao Qiliang, he didn't have so many concerns. Since the Luo family dared to send someone to kill him, he was prepared to give them a big gift in return.

With a flick of his toes, Su Chen lifted Luo Huaiwu's sword and grasped it in his hand, transforming into a black shadow that blended into the night.

Los House.

"Still no trace of Lu Dong and the other three?" Luo Sheng asked with a slightly somber expression.

The newcomer bowed and said softly, "Yes, young master."

"Useless! Four living people have mysteriously disappeared. We've searched for three days but haven't found a single trace of them. What use are you to me?" Luo Sheng roared.

The visitor remained silent, not daring to utter a word that would bring trouble upon Luo Sheng.

After venting his anger, Luo Sheng snorted coldly, "Get lost!"

He already had a guess in his mind: Lu Dong and the other three were loyal to him and would not disappear for no reason.

The fact that the four cannot be contacted at all can only mean that something bad has happened to them.

Although I don't care about the four dogs, I still want to know who did it.

Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner, let alone killing it!
"Didn't you hear me tell you to get lost?"

Just then, Luo Sheng suddenly looked up and saw that his men were still there, and his face immediately darkened.

call out.

Just then, a soft sound rang out. Luo Sheng looked up at the sound and before he could see clearly, a faint beam of light suddenly shot towards him.

刺。

It struck his skull directly, killing him instantly.

Another yard.

Luo Yu was practicing his swordplay, displaying a variety of graceful and agile sword techniques, including horizontal slashes, diagonal slashes, straight thrusts, and more.

When he was deeply moved by the practice, he couldn't help but drink wine and sing, composing poems and couplets with great enthusiasm.

A moment later, after finishing her wine and sword dance, Luo Yu put down her sword and let out a long sigh.

"Who?"

Suddenly, just as he was about to sheathe his sword and return to the house, he abruptly stopped in his tracks as he heard a sound of something cutting through the air.

With a quick twist of his wrist, he gripped the hilt of the sword, flicked it up, and slashed it diagonally downwards.

clang.

A soft chime resounded instantly, causing the sword in Luo Yu's hand to tremble and hum.

Luo Yu's cold gaze swept across the room, and when she saw the dissipated golden needles, she sneered: "You think you can ambush me with such a simple trick? You're really overestimating yourself!"

Before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped.

Suddenly, what came into view was a dense array of golden needles attacking from all directions.

This scene caused Luo Yu's expression to freeze, her body to stiffen, and a bead of cold sweat quietly seeped from her forehead.

He subconsciously swallowed, his disdain vanished, and his expression became more serious than ever before.

Bang bang bang!
Just as Luo Yu leaped to dodge, he didn't notice at all that a golden needle was falling from the sky, landing vertically and piercing through his skull.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in the Luo family's territory!"

Just then, a furious roar resounded, and Luo Yun leaped across the ground, his figure darting over like a nimble monkey.

He quickly turned his gaze and spotted Su Chen's obscure figure, so he immediately changed direction and chased after him.

"Stop him."

Luo Yun's roar quickly alerted the others in the Luo family. Several Luo family experts immediately leaped onto the roof and chased after him.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Su Chen glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, a smile appearing on his face, and then suddenly sped up.

"Where to go!"

Seeing this, Luo Yun knew that if things continued like this, Su Chen would definitely escape. So he gripped his longsword horizontally, gathered his strength in his arm, and launched the sword out.

The whooshing sound behind him made Su Chen pause. Although he managed to dodge in time, Luo Yun caught up with him.

"I'd like to see who you are."

In a leap, Luo Yun arrived in front of Su Chen, stretched out his arm, and with his five fingers forming a claw, grabbed at Su Chen's face.

He was incredibly fast; the moment their eyes met, the black veil was in his hands.

"Luo Huaiwu!"

Upon seeing Su Chen's true appearance, Luo Yun's face was filled with shock. How could it be Luo Huaiwu?
A sting.

At the critical moment, Su Chen drew his sword from his waist and thrust it into Luo Yun's chest.

The fierce killing move immediately startled Luo Yun. He composed himself and tried his best to dodge, but he was still a beat too slow.

Su Chen's sword pierced his body, but fortunately, it was deflected in time, only striking his arm and not fatally.

boom!
Seeing a hint of surprise flash in Su Chen's eyes, Luo Yun, who had been hit, hardened his expression.

He endured the pain and mobilized the strength within his body.

With a single palm strike, the surging force transformed into a streak of light, hurtling towards Su Chen, but Su Chen skillfully dodged it.

"stop!"

Approaching footsteps came from not far away. Su Chen pursed his lips, feigning resentment and helplessness, abandoned his sword, and transformed into a gentle breeze to leave.

By the time the experts from the Luo clan arrived, Su Chen had already vanished without a trace.

"Are you OK?"

The Third Elder, Luo Changxiao, looked at Luo Yun, whose face was pale, and asked.

"It's nothing." Luo Yun shook his head, his angry voice ringing out, "Third Elder, the one who attacked was Luo Huaiwu!"

"What?" Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Luo Yun nodded, gritted his teeth, pulled the sword from his shoulder, and handed it to everyone: "This is Luo Huaiwu's sword."

He paused, then raised the black veil in his hand and said, "Moreover, the appearance of the man I just saw with my own eyes is that of Luo Huaiwu."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Luo Changxiao said to everyone, "Let's go back first and talk about it later."

Inside the abandoned house.

A look of urgency appeared on Luo Huaiwen's face as he regained his senses. Soon, he would be able to recover his strength.

"You bastard, once I regain my strength, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

Luo Huaiwen said fiercely. The thought that his hard-earned wealth was about to go to Su Chen made him want to cry but he couldn't, and his heart was bleeding.

"All right!"

A moment later, Luo Huaiwen felt the golden needles that had sealed his energy disappear, and a powerful sensation returned to him. His face lit up with joy.

Suddenly.

He heard footsteps coming from the yard and exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, he's back!"
