Chapter 195 Killing is as easy as snapping your fingers
Bang bang bang!
Like a meteorite striking the earth, each collision between the two produced a dull, ear-piercing sonic boom.

Dust, wood chips, and gravel on the ground were all thrown into the air, and under the impact of the two terrifying energies, they quickly rippled and spread.

The entire lobby was a mess.

Qian Ren and the others, who had retreated to a corner, were already terrified by the terrifying power of the two fighting each other.

Even though they were on the edge of the area, the constant bursts of energy and power forced them to be extremely cautious.

If one is not careful, their body will be pierced and they will die suddenly.

Qian Ren stared blankly at the two ghostly figures intertwined in front of him, his expression filled with intense horror.

A Blood-Moving Warrior was evenly matched with a Meridian-Opening Warrior, fighting to a standstill.

If the world hasn't gone mad, then he must be.

But he wasn't crazy. This mind-blowing scene was truly unfolding before him, and no matter how unbelievable it seemed, it was real.

boom!
Just then, the huge house reached its critical point due to the intense collision between the two and collapsed suddenly.

"Come on!"

Qian Ren's expression changed drastically. He shouted and then leaped away.

In no time, the entire house collapsed and was reduced to ruins.

From within the ruins, the clanging of metal could still be heard. Under the tense gaze of the crowd, two figures rushed out from under the rubble.

Tapping.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and a group of Luo Clan experts rushed over and ran into the courtyard.

When they saw the broken walls and ruins before them, everyone's expressions froze.

When they saw the figure fighting Luo Yuanxiu, they all froze on the spot, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Luo Yuanxiu, with disheveled hair, had lost all the dignity of a clan leader and looked somewhat disheveled, his murderous intent undisguised.

The more they fought, the more astonished they became by Su Chen's strength, and the more their killing intent grew.

"die!"

With a furious shout, Luo Yuanxiu took a step forward and shot out like a cannonball, attacking Su Chen.

The surging Yuan energy clung to his hands and feet, transforming into the sharpest weapons, making him resemble a humanoid beast, exuding slaughter.

The prolonged battle caused Su Chen's breathing to become somewhat erratic, and his face turned pale as a result.

Upon seeing Luo Yuanxiu's figure rushing towards him, Su Chen did not retreat but advanced, stomping his feet hard on the ground and flashing forward to collide head-on with him.

"Sword Drawing Technique!"

Just as the two were about to collide, a cold glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

The steel knife at his waist seemed to hear Su Chen's inner cry, and it trembled and hummed.

Su Chen gripped the hilt of the knife with a backhand motion, and all his strength, power, and blood energy were concentrated on the blade in that instant, causing a dazzling blade light to suddenly appear in everyone's eyes.

"what?"

Luo Yuanxiu screamed. As the blade flashed, his blood suddenly froze, his body stiffened, and his internal organs trembled uncontrollably.

In mid-air, the blade's light first appeared as a point of light, reflecting deep within Luo Yuanxiu's pupils.

Then it transformed into a beam of light, slashing down from the sky, tearing through the air and splitting the line of sight in two.

What then unfolded before my eyes was an utterly shocking scene.

Luo Yuanxiu seemed to see seven distinct and sharp sword shadows within that dazzling river of swords.

First one fell, then two, then three... until all seven blade shadows fell, merging with this ray of light.

Ultimately, it extends to the entire field of vision.

"what!"

A piercing scream echoed through the heavens and earth, and to everyone's horrified gaze, an arm flew up.

Blood fell like raindrops onto the earth, seeping into everyone's hearts and sending chills down their spines.

They stood there like statues, as if they had forgotten to breathe, all staring dumbfounded at the scene before them, at that hysterical figure.

The clan leader had his arm severed!
Everyone was stunned, unable to believe that what they were seeing was real, and even more unable to believe that the person who had severed his arm was this young man.

"You despicable scoundrel, I'm going to kill you!"

Luo Yuanxiu was furious and roared almost irrationally, his eyes bloodshot.

After stopping the bleeding, he stretched out his other hand, and with a bend in his palm, a sword was instantly drawn from its sheath.

Holding the sword, he held nothing back. With a flick of his sleeve, he transformed into a phantom and attacked Su Chen.

In an instant, the sound of clashing swords filled the courtyard.

The crowd watched from afar, unable to catch a glimpse of the two figures; they could only see streaks of sword light rising and falling in mid-air.

boom!
After an unknown period of fighting, a low thud was heard, and both men were forced to retreat.

Luo Yuanxiu seemed to sense something, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, your strength is about to be exhausted, while I can continuously absorb the energy of heaven and earth to replenish myself. Brat, your death is near."

A smug glint flashed in his eyes, and his body trembled slightly. He was finally going to kill this guy; he had been waiting for this moment for far too long.

Fortunately, it's not too late now.

"Without reaching the Meridian Opening stage, you have no idea how powerful this realm is."

Luo Yuanxiu snorted coldly, trying to shake Su Chen's composure, "I've said it before, with your strength you dare to dream of killing me? You don't even know your own limitations. Today I'll show you the huge gap between us!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen could no longer tolerate Luo Yuanxiu's habit of spouting nonsense after every fight. He roared, "You old bastard, you haven't even fought a few fights, yet you talk so much nonsense. I'm telling you right now, killing you will be as easy as snapping your fingers!"

Having said that, ignoring the enraged Luo Yuanxiu, Su Chen charged forward.

With each swift movement of his hand, countless blade shadows rose up, and the continuous sound of blades slicing through the air echoed in Luo Yuanxiu's ears.

Sensing Su Chen's surging killing intent, Luo Yuanxiu's heart trembled, and he felt a sense of fear.

He shook his head repeatedly, trying to calm himself: "No, impossible, how could I be afraid of a Bloodthirsty Warrior!"

In a fit of shame and anger, Luo Yuanxiu attacked in a rage, parrying each move, completely unaware that his face was now more solemn than ever before.

Bang bang bang!
The sounds of a fierce battle between the two could be heard again in the open space of the courtyard.

Centered on the two individuals, a chaotic zone formed within a ten-meter radius, where the surging energy and primal force destroyed all living beings.

Not only did it crush the flowers, grass, and trees, but it also stirred up mud dragons, with mud fragments flying everywhere like grains of rice in the wind.

Luo Yuanxiu's face was ashen, his eyes fixed on Su Chen, his moves no longer as sharp as before.

He was waiting for the right moment, waiting for the opportunity to kill Su Chen in one move.

Despite Su Chen's continued impressive demeanor, it was all just an empty facade.

He could clearly feel that the opponent's powerful attack was weakening at a visible rate.

However, he was silently and slowly accumulating strength, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Su Chen once he seized the opportunity.

"found it!"

In just a few breaths, the two exchanged blows hundreds of times, until Luo Yuanxiu finally discovered Su Chen's weakness.

A cold glint appeared at the corner of his mouth. He gripped the sword tightly, instantly channeling all the Yuan energy and strength within his body, which flowed from his arm and rapidly spread throughout the entire blade.

Stab out with a sword!
He seemed to see Su Chen fall to the ground, his eyes filled with resentment, and a sense of confidence crept onto his face.

Suddenly, Luo Yuanxiu's pupils shrank, his long-prepared attack had not caused Su Chen any harm whatsoever.

Su Chen seemed to have expected this, dodging the attack with astonishing speed.

Just then, a chilling feeling spread from my heart and instantly covered my entire body.

Luo Yuanxiu felt as if the hairs on his body stood on end, a chill ran down his spine, and he felt as if he were shrouded in death, his body trembling involuntarily.

"How, how is it possible?!"

He stared at Su Chen in astonishment, when a surge of immense power suddenly erupted from Su Chen's body, which had been seemingly exhausted.

Su Chen remained indifferent, completely ignoring Luo Yuanxiu's shock, and silently uttered in his mind, "Hidden Blade in Sleeve."

The hidden blade, which had been sealed away for who knows how long, finally revealed its full brilliance at this moment.

With a hissing sound, a blinding blade of light appeared out of nowhere, hovering high in the sky.

It then slashed down from the sky like a galaxy, completely filling Luo Yuanxiu's pupils and severing his martial arts career.

Under the incredulous gazes of everyone, Luo Yuanxiu felt a sharp pain in his neck, and his whole body seemed to spin around in an instant.

Then they saw a headless corpse below, with blood gushing up like a pillar.

Immediately afterwards, darkness quickly filled the eyeliner.

There was a pop.

His head fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

It struck like a thunderbolt into everyone's hearts, a truly awakening and thought-provoking message.

Before Luo Yuanxiu's breath had completely died out, Su Chen's calm voice rang out like a bell: "I told you, killing you is just a snap of my fingers!"

It struck the crowd like a heavy hammer, leaving them frozen in place, making it difficult for them to breathe.

After dealing with Luo Yuanxiu, Su Chen turned his attention to Qian Ren and the other two.

The moment Su Chen fixed his gaze on them, the two felt their hair stand on end and their blood run cold. "Calm down... Vice Leader Su... please calm down. If you kill us too, the Lord of the Manor will definitely not let you off."

Qian Ren forced a smile and said in a trembling voice. At this moment, both he and Qian Gui were filled with fear when they witnessed Su Chen's ruthless methods, fearing that Su Chen would kill them without saying a word.

Qian Gui also spoke up, nodding fearfully: "That's right, give us a chance to redeem ourselves, and we will make proper arrangements for Li Mo."

Swish.

Su Chen didn't speak, but moved swiftly and appeared in front of the two of them.

With two sharp cracks, the two men died instantly.

"I've calmed down, so you can all go to hell."

Su Chen bid farewell to the two in a very friendly tone, and neither of them showed any pain on their faces.

The entire place was completely silent, deathly still, and no one dared to move.

A gentle breeze carried a faint smell of blood, which filled everyone's nostrils, but no one noticed it.

Looking at the gruesome corpses on the ground, everyone felt a chill run through them.

Their gazes immediately fell upon that proudly standing figure, who seemed to radiate a dazzling light, so much so that no one dared to meet his eyes.

No one speaks.

No one took any action.

The silence was finally broken by the belated arrival of Qiao Renzhou and Qiao Qiliang.

The two, accompanied by members of the City Lord's Mansion and the Four Seas Gang, rushed over, only to witness this unbelievable scene.

"The Lord's personal guard is dead, and Luo Yuanxiu is dead too!"

Qiao Renzhou stood there, stunned, his face full of shock, completely unprepared for things to turn out this way.

What... exactly happened?
Could it be that Su Chen killed all these people?
Qiao Renzhou looked up at the figure in the middle, his eyes flashing, as if he were getting to know Su Chen all over again.

If it really was Su Chen who killed him...

hiss.

He could no longer imagine what level Su Chen had reached. Could it be that he had already entered the Meridian Opening stage?
The thought burst forth uncontrollably, instantly taking over my mind and deeply shaking my soul.

Qiao Qiliang, standing to the side, didn't think much of it; he just felt dizzy.

Upon seeing Luo Yuanxiu's head and the still-alive Su Chen, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could even catch his breath, his eyes widened, and as if struck by a sudden realization, he couldn't help but gasp.

The father and son exchanged a glance, both seeing an almost overflowing look of horror in each other's eyes.

Unaware of their thoughts, Su Chen swept his gaze across the crowd and declared, "The murderer of today's events is Su Chen!"

After saying that, Su Chen glanced at Qiao Qiliang, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, shook his head slightly, and then quickly left in front of everyone.

After Su Chen left, Qiao Qiliang was still in shock. This time, Su Chen had truly stirred up a storm in Fengbei City.

He could already imagine the bloodshed that would ensue in Fengbei City once the Luo family patriarch learned of this matter.

"Father, I'm leaving this place to you."

However, this is not the time to worry about that. The reason Su Chen said those words was to take all the responsibility upon himself.

The only thing he can do for Su Chen now is to bring Hong Ming, Zhang Wan'er, Fang Rou and others to the Qiao residence, so that the Luo family can't find Su Chen and take revenge on them.

Qiao Renzhou guessed Qiao Qiliang's thoughts and nodded.

After leaving the Luo residence, Su Chen returned to the Qiao residence to pack up the things he needed.

Just as Qiao Qiliang had guessed, he knew that he would face a furious and relentless retaliation from the Luo family.

Therefore, he had to leave the Qiao residence.

Although he is now able to kill martial artists who have reached the Qi Opening stage, it comes at a great cost.

This can be seen from the fact that he used almost every means to find an opportunity to kill Luo Yuanxiu.

However, Luo Yuanxiu was not the strongest member of the Luo clan, and the Luo clan had more than one master martial artist who had reached the Meridian Opening stage.

In particular, the Luo clan also has an ancestor whose strength is far beyond what Luo Yuanxiu can compare to.

With Su Chen's current strength, he is no match for this person.

"With Uncle Qiao and Qi Liang protecting Master and Senior Sister, I don't need to worry for the time being. Next, I must break through to the Meridian Opening Realm as much as possible. Once I reach the Meridian Opening Realm, I will have no fear even if it is the Luo Clan Ancestor!"

Su Chen's gaze was resolute; he had no regrets about his actions today.

Both Li Mo and Qiao Qiliang were his relatives and friends. Now, one was forced to go to the front line by Luo Shi and separated from his wife and daughter; the other was seriously injured, and both he and his son were injured.

If he weren't lacking in strength, he wouldn't have waited until another day; he would have already unleashed a massacre and wiped out the Luo family today.

This is just collecting some interest; the day he breaks through to the next level will be the day the Luo clan perishes!
However, at this moment, Su Chen still felt a sense of urgency, worried that the Luo family might resort to desperate measures.

He gritted his teeth, his face resolute. He was now racing against time; he had to break through his cultivation level in the shortest possible time.

After packing his things, Su Chen quietly left the Qiao residence when no one was paying attention.

Before seeking a breakthrough in the Golden Body Technique, he needed to meet someone.

Fortunately, when Su Chen returned to the courtyard, he saw Ma Chen cultivating there.

Ma Chen was surprised to see Su Chen appear. He stopped cultivating and noticed Su Chen's furrowed brows, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"I need you to do something for me," Su Chen said bluntly.

"whats the matter?"

"Go protect someone."

"Who?"

"a friend."

"no problem."

Ma Chen agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you," Su Chen said softly.

"Don't mention it, you've saved my life several times." Ma Chen waved his hand and smiled, then asked about Li Mo's information.

After asking the questions, Ma Chen prepared to leave, but Su Chen stopped him.

"I see you're just one step away from breaking through, so I'll lend you a hand!"

As Su Chen spoke, he struck Ma Chen's body with a palm while Ma Chen was still in a daze.

Ma Chen let out a muffled groan, feeling the vast power surging into his body, which surprised him greatly.

"Calm your mind and focus on receiving my energy."

Upon hearing Su Chen's voice, Ma Chen quickly calmed down, and the energy within his body began to circulate wildly, guided by Su Chen.

After an incense stick had burned, Ma Chen's body trembled, as if a shackle had been broken within him, and his internal energy instantly surged.

Su Chen withdrew his Vajra Force in time, allowing Ma Chen to break through.

A moment later, Ma Chen opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect to break through so easily!"

He had been stuck at this level for who knows how long, but now he has suddenly stepped into the Blood Transformation Second Realm.

"You should stabilize your cultivation level first," Su Chen reminded him.

Ma Chen nodded, then calmed his mind and focused on stabilizing his state of mind.

Soon, he opened his eyes, felt the power within his body double, and smiled broadly.

He then said to Su Chen, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect your friend. Putting aside everything else, my skill in escaping is probably better than even a martial artist who has reached the Meridian Opening stage."

Su Chen nodded upon hearing this and asked, "By the way, do you know any way to obtain the Golden Body Technique?"

"Golden Body Technique?" Ma Chen composed himself, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He replied, "The conventional methods definitely won't work; we'll have to rely on special means."

Su Chen knew that the special method he mentioned was theft.

But stealing the Yun family's unique secret manual is not that simple.

"Oh, right, I suddenly remembered something."

Seeing Su Chen remain silent, Ma Chen seemed to have thought of something and slapped his forehead, "During the time you were away, I would occasionally visit Liang's."

I once discovered by chance that among those who were arrested and imprisoned in the dungeon by the Liang family, there were members of the Yun family.

You might as well try to find out more; maybe you'll get a clue.

"Okay!" Su Chen nodded.

"Here, these pills are for you." Ma Chen took out fifty Blood Strengthening Pills and handed them to Su Chen; these were his hauls from the past few days.

Because his identity was exposed and because of Liang's hoarding of pills, he didn't obtain many pills. Now that he was leaving, he simply gave them all to Su Chen.

"Then I'll set off now."

Seeing that Su Chen had accepted the pills, Ma Chen said goodbye and then left in a hurry.
