Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

Chapter 196 Across Three Thousand Miles

"Evergreen!"

Gu Guangbo stood by the river, holding the long sword at an angle, drawing the force of the river for his own use. Water vapor was swirling above the blade, circulating back and forth, and the power was endless.

This is exactly the tide-riding technique passed down by the Gu family, which is able to make use of the water vapor from rivers. That is why the Gu family's ancestral home was deliberately chosen to be on the bank of the Xiangjiang River. To put it bluntly, it was to be able to take advantage of the terrain at any time to fight off any possible invading enemies.

"Second uncle."

Gu Changqing was also fully focused at this moment, silently practicing his mental skills, using the power of his thoughts to control the endless flow of the river behind him, and borrowing the power of heaven and earth to fight against the mysterious and powerful enemy of the Gu family in front of him.

Gu Guangbo gathered his strength for a moment, then slashed out with his sword. His momentum was like a rushing river or a mountain torrent, rushing straight towards Ye Qingzhou.

"I'll provide cover and create an opportunity for you to take action!"

The moment the thought was transmitted, Gu Guangbo leaped up and slashed at Ye Qingzhou with a knife. He was concentrating on disrupting the enemy's vision just to create an opportunity for Gu Changqing to kill him with one blow.

Although the uncle and nephew have some grudges, they are blood relatives after all. At this moment, for the survival of the Gu family, they cooperate with each other tacitly.

Wow~
The surging river water turned into a long sword that slashed down with a loud bang. The sound of the rushing water kept stirring in his ears, disturbing his mind, but Ye Qingzhou remained calm.

He just cut the waves with a sword, took a step forward and walked on the waves.

"Evil thief, suffer death!"

When Gu Guangbo thought of his three brothers dying at the hands of the man in front of him, he became furious. At this moment, the only thing in his mind was "revenge", and nothing else.

Dang~
clang~clang~
The sword that walks on the tide, the true energy continues to accumulate, and the power contained in it becomes more and more violent.

After fighting for a while, Ye Qingzhou felt the changes through the vibration of the Black Shark Sword and was slightly surprised: "This move is quite similar to the intermediate martial arts skill Die Lang. The difference is that in Die Lang, the person who uses the move bears the price, while in this move, the pressure is borne by the weapon in hand."

Gu Guangbo's attainment in the Tide-walking move is not as good as Gu Guangsheng's. He has only practiced it to the level of mastery. Each time the sword energy is superimposed, it is only 80%, instead of directly doubling it.

However, the principles of the moves are the same.

Therefore, after Ye Qingzhou fought with him for a few swords, he understood the secret: "It is interesting to transform the true energy into a vortex undercurrent, so that it can be attached to the weapon, condensed without dispersing, and ready to go."

Ye Qingzhou once observed the Yuwang Stele and gained an understanding of the fragments of the "Taixuan Yuce" on it.

This book was created by Emperor Xuan, one of the Five Emperors. It is as famous as "Yan Yang Bao Zhuan" and "Jiulong Emperor Diagram". They are all first-class martial arts classics in the world and contain the principles of the great Dao.

"Yan Yang Bao Zhuan" belongs to fire, "Jiu Long Di Tu" belongs to earth, and this "Tai Xuan Yu Ce" is a peerless magical skill belonging to water.

"In ancient times, Emperor Xuan was born in Ruoshui. He gained enlightenment in the water and realized the truth of heaven and earth that all rivers flow back to the source. The fluctuations and flows of all energy are all in it."

Ye Qingzhou pondered for a moment, then silently circulated the martial arts true energy stored in the combat puppet, transforming it into the innate sunflower water energy and the innate Ren water energy through the five internal organs.

The energy of Kui water is Yin, and the energy of Ren water is Yang. The two merge into one, turning smoothly and evolving the image of Tai Chi in the Qi sea of ​​the fighting puppet.

The sound of rushing water was heard inside Ye Qingzhou's body. He slashed with his sword three times in succession and was able to draw the power of the Xiangjiang River and gather it on the sword tip.

Each sword is stronger than the last. Every time a sword is swung out, its power increases by about 40%. This is the sign of entering the Dark Tide.

clang~ clang~ clang~
By the time he swung the fifth sword, the power of Ye Qingzhou's sword energy had doubled. Gu Guangbo was directly slashed away by the huge force, and the blood in his body surged.

"The Xiliu Sword Technique? The Dark Tide Sword!"

Gu Guangbo was horrified, angry, and a little confused: "When did you secretly learn the unique skills of my Gu family?"

"It's just a little trick, and only losers like you would cherish it and worry that others would learn it."

Ye Qingzhou spoke with disdain, slashing with the sword in his hand and launching a frontal attack.

He just stepped heavily and slashed with the sword. In just a few breaths, he had practiced the Dark Tide Sword to a proficient level. The coefficient of the sword's power also increased from 0.4 to 0.6.

Each slash became more powerful. The 60% stacking improvement, coupled with Ye Qingzhou's already powerful explosive power, made it difficult for Gu Guangbo to resist.

Even under the continuous slashing, the famous sword in his hand reached its limit of endurance. Finally, the surface of the blade was covered with frost, and under Ye Qingzhou's fierce chopped, it broke into two pieces.

"Evergreen!"

In desperation, Gu Guangbo shouted for help.

"coming!"

Gu Changqing finished building up his strength and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, while the speed at which he swung his sword reached three times the speed of sound!
The combination of wind and thunder, a high-level martial art, cuts everything in half with one blow!

This knife was as swift as the wind and as powerful as thunder. Wherever the blade went, nothing could be left uncut. Its power was earth-shattering!

Ye Qingzhou used his sword as a shield, but still couldn't block Gu Changqing's earth-shattering attack. At the moment the weapons touched, the Black Shark Sword broke.

Gu Changqing's sword continued to move forward, slashing fiercely at Ye Qingzhou's chest, but it only made a clanging sound and could not move forward an inch.

It turned out that just now, Ye Qingzhou used his sword as a shield. Although he failed to block the attack, he successfully unloaded most of the force, making Gu Changqing's sword as powerful as a spent crossbow, unable to penetrate the silk cloth.

The combat puppet took the blow head-on and recharged its energy again. Then its eyes glowed red and with a fierce look in its eyes, it once again displayed the super-level martial arts that Ye Qingzhou had learned by himself.

Second gear!

Explosion mode!

The secret sword, the sharpest and most powerful one!
The sword of swiftness can destroy any trace!

Ye Qingzhou's speed instantly exploded to Mach 20. The surging force caused the air to vibrate, and the aftermath swept in all directions.

Although the sword blade was broken, at such a speed, even if the sword in hand was a brick, it could easily kill a martial arts master, not to mention a top-grade sword made of three kinds of high-quality rare gold.

The wind was blowing hard.

Flames shot up into the sky.

The sword light was so fast that Gu Guangbo had no time to react and was chopped into pieces. Under the impact of the powerful sword energy, his body instantly turned into a blood mist and was blown up by Ye Qingzhou.

"Second uncle!"

Gu Changqing's eyes were red, and he swung his sword towards Ye Qingzhou again. At this moment, his heart was already filled with madness.

The six great masters of the Gu family in Xingcheng can be said to be the family foundation and the backbone of the Gu family.

Now, five of the six have passed away, and he is the only one left. He is doomed to be unable to support the family alone in the future, making the Gu family exist in name only and unable to reverse its decline.

"Damn you!!"

Gu Changqing's heart was filled with extreme hatred and anger. His grief and indignation made the light of his sword even more violent.

Wind force, high-level martial arts, thousands of kills in an instant!

The power of high-level martial arts in the perfect realm is extraordinary. When Gu Changqing slashed with his sword, endless sharp edges shot out like a hundred birds flying into a forest, attacking Ye Qingzhou at the same time, as if they were going to cut him into pieces and torture him to death in the next moment.

Facing such a terrifying attack, Ye Qingzhou's expression did not change at all. He stood calmly, holding the broken sword.

He just stretched out his hand, and the broken blade of the Black Shark Sword not far away flew towards his palm and was firmly caught.

He put the broken parts together and injected martial arts energy into them at the same time. Suddenly, the broken Black Shark Sword was restored to its original shape visibly to the naked eye.

This is the characteristic of indestructible iron. After being forged into shape, it has a metal memory function. As long as it is injected with martial arts true energy, it can be restored to its original state at any time and is difficult to be truly destroyed.

Ye Qingzhou allowed thousands of sword beams to slash at the combat puppet. This kind of attack was the least threatening to the combat puppet, which was also made of indestructible iron.

As long as the combat puppet is not destroyed by an attack that is powerful enough to exceed its endurance limit, the more attacks it endures, the stronger its output will become.

"How could you be okay after being hit by my instant 1,000 kills?"

Gu Changqing's hand holding the knife trembled slightly as he used the Cut in Two with One Strike and Kill Thousands in an Instant in succession. His loss of true Qi could be quickly replenished by drawing strength from the outside world through the master-level characteristic of Qi Penetrating the Heaven and Earth.

But muscle strain and mental fatigue require a short break before recovery.

"You... are too weak..."

Ye Qingzhou held the Black Shark Sword in his hand, his tone cold and ruthless: "If you don't step into the Grandmaster realm, you will only die under my sword. It's ridiculous for a martial arts family to raise a group of useless people who can't withstand a single blow."

Thousands of kills were inflicted on him in an instant. The battle puppet had already accumulated enough power, and the sword of divine edge and ultimate shadow was ready to go.

"Take my sword, and all grudges are settled. Whether you live or die depends on your own luck."

Zheng~
The Black Shark Sword moved, and in an instant, Gu Guangqi's eyes went dark, and he felt that the sky and the earth had lost their color, and the sun and the moon had lost their light. Then he only had time to dodge sideways according to his fighting instinct, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, causing him to lose consciousness.

Ye Qingzhou sheathed his sword and looked at the broken famous sword Taoguang and Gu Changqing lying unconscious in front of him. His eyes were cold, but he did not continue to attack.

"The Gu family's swordsmanship is a mess. But you are still quite impressive. You were able to avoid the vital points in time and escape death."

Zheng~
Ye Qingzhou slashed out an impassioned sword energy, which moved the water of the Xiangjiang River and directly chopped half of the Gu family mansion into ruins, leaving behind a message that resounded for ten miles: "Tonight, the Gu family of Xingcheng will be removed from the list of martial arts families."

On the second day, although Gu Changqing woke up, the hideous sword wound on his chest was still oozing blood through the gauze. The bleeding would not stop.

Gu Changqing coughed up black blood, obviously he was seriously injured. A sword energy filled with murderous intent was running rampant in his body. Even with the physique of a martial arts master, it was difficult for him to heal his wounds in a short time.

"Honey."

"Dad." Cheng Yurong and Gu Yingshi, mother and daughter, cried with tears in their eyes.

The rest of the Gu family members were now gathered around the bed, waiting for Gu Changqing to give orders. After all, he was now the only remaining martial arts master of the Gu family in Star City.

"Second brother, what should we do now?"

Gu Changheng was at a loss, and the situation of the Gu family was now extremely precarious. The only martial arts master who survived, Gu Changqing, was still seriously injured.

If a powerful enemy invades, what will the Gu family use to resist?
Gu Changqing felt the severe pain coming from his wound and was silent for a long time. Finally, he issued an order: "I plan to hand over the Gu family's inherited skills to the Martial Arts Association. As for some of the family's industries, those that should be given up should be given up."

"what!"

"We don't agree!"

Many members of the Gu family objected, their expressions filled with indignation: "The skills and inheritance are the foundation of the Gu family. How can we give them to others?"

"This is absolutely not allowed!"

If all of it is handed over to the Martial Arts Association, how will people like Gu maintain their lofty status in the future?

"From today on, there is no Gu family anymore."

Gu Changqing glanced around, feeling no greater sorrow than a dead heart. It had come to this point, and these idiots in the clan still didn't know that danger had arrived.

The Gu family, having lost all of its master-level combat power, is now just a piece of fat meat in the eyes of others.

The Gu family's inherited martial arts skills are like a gold brick.

If a strong person holds it, it is a helping hand; if a weak person holds it, it is a death warrant.

Only by copying a copy and handing it over to the Martial Arts Association can you exchange for your own safety.

After all, the authorities have always been very interested in the inheritance of martial arts families. If the Gu family is willing to be the first to hand it over, even if it is for a huge sum of money to buy horse bones, the authorities will never let anything happen to the Gu family.

"I have made up my mind, Changheng, contact President Zhao immediately."

"Second brother..."

"Do as I say! Ahem~"

In his agitated mood, Gu Changqing spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood, which frightened Gu Changheng so much that he quickly agreed, fearing that Gu Changqing would get hurt out of anger.

…………

"Fuck, you wiped out the Gu family in Xingcheng by yourself?"

Ghost Sword Sorrow Duan Ming, after learning about the changes in the Gu family, immediately guessed that it was Ye Qingzhou who did it. After all, the murderer called himself "Juejian" and was a member of the Xinshaliu. He is now wanted by the Martial Arts Association and the reward is as high as 100 million, which is five times that of Duan Ming.

This made Duan Ming very unhappy: "You only appeared once, and your head is more valuable than mine."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that your head is worth 20 million."

Ye Qingzhou's eyes fell on Duan Ming's neck. He couldn't help but ponder the feasibility of this matter, muttering: "No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat."

"Stop!"

Duan Ming was a little scared by Ye Qingzhou's gaze: "I came here to tell you a good news."

After hearing this, Ye Qingzhou temporarily gave up the idea of ​​taking Duan Ming's head as a reward: "Tell me, what kind of good news is it?"

"We found a base of an organization related to the Source Blood Society."

"Oh? Where?"

"In Chenli Country."

"Not in Dongji Country?"

Ye Qingzhou frowned, this meant that he was going on a long journey.

You know, the straight-line distance to Chenli State is more than 1,800 kilometers. It is located in the southwest of Dongji State and adjacent to Dian Province.

"What's the specific information?"

"I'll give you an address, go ask for it yourself."

Duan Ming threw down a small note and then fled. He felt very insecure staying with a monster like Ye Qingzhou.

Ye Qingzhou picked up the note and burned it after reading it.

At night, Ye Qingzhou put on Juejian's vest and went to a secret base of the Xinshaliu in Linjiang City in the form of a possessed ghost.

It is called a stronghold, but in fact it is just an ordinary night market.

This night market is located in a village in the city. It is bustling with people coming and going, and it seems to be very normal.

In fact, this is a black market.

It is a trading place outside of supervision, open exclusively to martial artists. Only those holding a token issued by the Xinsha Flow can enter it under the guidance of a special person.

The ordinary people around were distracted by the spiritual martial arts and turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the existence of the black market.

"A little hidden away in the city? Interesting."

Holding the token, Ye Qingzhou entered the black market and then went to a shop called Liuyunzhai, where he met a boss who was wearing ancient costume and a fox smiling mask on his face.

Take out the token and identify yourself.

"So it's Lord Juejian. My apologies. I'm Yun Suiliu."

"Free and unrestrained, go with the flow? Your name is too fake."

Ye Qingzhou made a casual joke, but didn't really care.

After all, if he can wear a pseudonym, naturally so can others. The reason why the Xinsha School can grow and develop, besides the fact that the civilian martial artists who were suppressed in the early days wanted to stand out, is more importantly that there are always some things that are not suitable to be dealt with openly.

"I need information about the Source Blood Society. It would be best if we could find their base."

"I happen to have some relevant information in my hand. Please take a look."

Yun Yuan, wearing the 'Yun Sui Liu' vest, took out a briefcase from his sleeve.

Ye Qingzhou opened it casually and found that the records inside were very detailed, including the area where the target was located, the list of people involved, and the direct connection with the Source Blood Society.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want. What's the price?"

"free."

"for free?"

"I just want to make friends with Lord Juejian."

Yun Yuan's words were quite sincere. After all, if he could destroy a master from a martial arts family head-on with just a sword, how could he not make friends with him?
…………

Dongji Country, southwest airspace.

drop drop~
A shrill alarm sounded in the radar monitoring station.

"There is a flying vehicle that has exceeded ten times the speed of sound and passed through the air above our troops!"

"Can you confirm the target's identity?"

"No! The signal is unrecognizable!"

"Can you send fighter jets to intercept?"

"No, the opponent is too fast!"

Ten times the speed of sound! Even an air-to-air missile cannot intercept it, let alone a fighter jet.

In the end, everyone could only watch as the target broke through the air defense area and rushed out of the border.

Boom~
At the northern border of Chenli State, Ye Qingzhou landed too fast and accidentally collapsed a local mountain. After landing, he took out his mobile phone from the Xiayu Treasure Ring and checked the time.

"The whole process took me one minute and forty-eight seconds. Ten times the speed of sound is really impressive."

Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart. For a martial artist who has reached his level, traveling three thousand miles on a long journey is much easier and more comfortable than for an ordinary person to go downstairs and buy a bunch of beef offal.

"It's just that the energy consumption is a bit high. The martial arts true qi stored in the Dantian Qi Sea has been almost consumed."

Ye Qingzhou looked around and was very curious about this strange country.

On the Internet of Dongji Country, it is said that even if a martial saint came here, he would have his back twisted before he could leave.
