Chapter 99 Ultimate Thunderclap Blade, First Level of Sword Drawing Technique (Please Subscribe)
Su Chen did not leave with Sun Yun immediately. Instead, he waited until Hong Ming and the others had recovered their strength, gave them a few instructions, and then left with Sun Yun.

Sun Yun naturally knew what Su Chen was thinking, but he didn't care. If he really wanted to deal with Hong Ming and the others, he didn't need to go through all this trouble. He could just take action directly instead of wasting words.

Shortly after the two left, Hong Ming, along with Li Mo and Liu Fang, also left.

Along the way, Su Chen and Sun Yun rarely spoke. The two traveled very quickly and were about to arrive at White Stone City in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

However, due to the tight security in the city, the two did not enter the city immediately.

Su Chen looked at Sun Yun and said, "Let's each rely on our own abilities to enter the city. After entering the city, we'll meet at Zuixianlou at 5 PM tonight to share information and discuss countermeasures. How about that?"

After hearing this, Sun Yun glanced at Su Chen in surprise, then pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay!"

The two parted ways, and Sun Yun gazed intently at Su Chen's departing figure.

After parting ways with Sun Yun, Su Chen disguised himself as an old man and sneaked into the city.

After entering the city, Su Chen took some time to go home, but Tao Dingfang did not secretly send anyone to guard the vicinity of his house.

However, although Tao Dingfang did not send anyone to monitor his house, he turned it upside down.

Fortunately, Su Chen's hidden items were not discovered.

After packing everything up, Su Chen left.

He changed into the attire of a middle-aged, honest man and walked along the street, observing everything around him.

The outer city has regained some of its former liveliness, but the number of patrolling yamen runners has increased.

Su Chen arrived at the money exchange and, after inquiring, learned that he could now exchange gold, so he exchanged ten taels of gold.

With these ten taels of gold, he could master the Thunderclap Blade he obtained from Sun Yun.

The hustle and bustle returned somewhat, but order was not fully restored. After Su Chen exchanged the gold and left the money exchange, he keenly sensed that someone was following him.

After spending some time shaking off these people, Su Chen found an abandoned house to stay in temporarily, and then took out the manual.

The cover of the manual was engraved with the three characters 'Thunderclap Blade'. After flipping through it several times and memorizing the moves, Su Chen began to practice.

Because of his foundation in the Wild Waves Blade Technique, he managed to perform the entire routine, albeit with some stumbles and difficulties.

The rehearsal is complete, and the panel has been refreshed.
[Martial Arts: ...Thunderclap Blade (Beginner 1%)]

[Easy Mode: ... Thunderclap Blade 0 times (1 tael of silver/time) Wild Wave Blade Technique 0 times (Extreme Thunderclap Blade/time)]

Not only has the Thunderclap Blade changed, but even the Raging Wave Blade Technique has changed.

"In other words, as long as the Thunderclap Blade is practiced to its limit, the Raging Wave Blade Technique can be unlocked in its easy mode."

Su Chen's eyes gleamed, eager to try it out. He silently chanted in his mind, "Recharge and activate easy mode."

An hour later.

From beginner to expert, Su Chen swung his sword a total of 850 times, pushing the Thunderclap Blade to its limit.

The panel refreshed again, and just as Su Chen had predicted, the Thunderclap Blade had merged with the Raging Wave Blade Technique.
Martial Arts: ...Nameless Blade Technique (Beginner Level 1%)

[Easy Mode: ...Nameless Sword Technique (100 taels of silver/time)]

Seeing that he could still spend money, Su Chen naturally didn't hesitate to spend money and directly upgraded the Nameless Blade Technique to the first level.

To Su Chen's surprise, the Nameless Blade Technique could only be improved by one level, and further improvement would require the fusion of a new blade technique.

"Moreover, what's being fused isn't just a simple sword technique, but a sword technique that contains the method of incorporating internal energy." You should know that the Thunderclap Sword Technique and the Raging Wave Sword Technique don't have any methods of incorporating internal energy; they're just ordinary sword techniques. Now, the panel fusion requires a sword technique that contains the method of incorporating internal energy, which shows just how precious a sword technique containing the method of incorporating internal energy is.

"Let's test the power of the Nameless Sword Technique."

After improving his nameless sword technique, Su Chen had many insights into sword techniques that made him eager to test them out.

He arrived in front of a rockery about half a person's height, gripped a steel knife, and his entire demeanor suddenly changed.

If he was an ordinary martial artist one second, the next he became like a precious sword about to be drawn from its sheath, its sharpness suddenly revealed.

Swish!
With a flash of light, the sword was drawn, swung, and sheathed in one fluid motion. The aura around the body seemed to coalesce, and then all of it converged on the blade the instant it was drawn. This not only demonstrated a high degree of concentration of energy and spirit, but also showcased speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness to the fullest extent.

Five full seconds passed before the artificial mountain in front of it seemed to react. The spot where it had been struck immediately revealed a smooth wound. The artificial mountain slid down, crashed to the ground, and shattered into pieces.

"What an amazing strike!"

Even Su Chen was amazed by this lightning-fast and thunderous strike, as both its speed and power were almost at the limit of his current abilities.

If he were to also have a hidden dagger, even if Tao Dingfang were standing right in front of him, he would be confident that he could kill him with a single blow when the other man was not paying attention.

"To take the enemy's head in the blink of an eye—how can such a sword technique be called a nameless sword technique? Let's just call it the art of drawing the sword!"

While pondering, Su Chen changed the name of the nameless sword technique to "Drawing Sword Technique," which sounded much more imposing and also suited the characteristics of the technique.

With a single strike, one can take the enemy's life in an instant.

"It's about time. Let's go and gather some information."

I glanced at the sky; there was still some time before sunset. I'll use this time to find out about Zhang Wan'er and the others.

After leaving the house, Su Chen hid his weapon and went to a restaurant, a place where all sorts of people mingled, so he could gather information more quickly.

Sure enough, news of last night's events had spread, and many people in the restaurant were discussing it.

From these people, Su Chen heard the information he wanted.

Tao Dingfang accused the martial artists of Baishi City of colluding with the traitors of the Rebirth Sect, and issued a warrant for the arrest of Su Chen and his companions throughout the city. He then arrested the Zhang, Liu, and Fang families.

Although the Fang family had not participated in this conflict, the power of the Broken Blade Sect remained, and Fang Rou was Hong Ming's disciple, so Tao Dingfang naturally did not let the Fang family off the hook.

Tao Dingfang had probably anticipated that someone would enter the city to gather information, so he directly announced the punishment of the individuals and allowed the people in the city to spread the word.

Su Chen also learned the exact news: the government would behead everyone in the market three days later as a warning to others.

After sitting for nearly half an hour, Su Chen finally left. He glanced at the government office as he passed by, then paid no further attention to it. Afterward, he went to Zuixianlou.

Sun Yun had not yet appeared, so he sat down at the designated spot, ordered a large table of dishes, and waited for Sun Yun while eating. Sun Yun arrived right on time, almost at the last minute.

Sun Yun was slightly surprised to see a middle-aged man sitting in the seat, but he quickly recognized Su Chen.

Although Su Chen was disguised as a middle-aged man, there were many flaws in his disguise, and he could not hide it from him at a glance.

However, he didn't care. What he valued was not Su Chen's skill in disguise, but Su Chen's strength.

What he didn't know was that Su Chen had deliberately dressed up like this; otherwise, given Su Chen's current level of disguise, he might not have been able to recognize him.

Sun Yun walked straight to the table opposite Su Chen, sat down, glanced at the food on the table, and smiled slightly: "You certainly eat well!"
