Wuxia: Slay enemies to boost your cultivation; my power is boundless!

Less than twenty breaths after Xiao Bieli left the restaurant.

The shopkeeper arrived on the second floor, only to be terrified by what he saw. He stumbled and tumbled down the stairs.

"The shopkeeper?"

"This is……?"

The people on the first floor of the restaurant were somewhat puzzled.

Although they saw the diners on the second floor running downstairs, there was no further movement from upstairs afterward.

What scared the shopkeeper?

The shopkeeper pointed upstairs, unable to utter a single word.

A sharp-eyed martial arts practitioner noticed blood flowing down the stairs of the restaurant and bravely went up to the second floor.

"Ugh~"

He had only just reached the second floor when he rushed downstairs and vomited violently.

He considered himself to have seen a lot and been around for many years.

But the scene on the second floor, which resembled a battlefield, was something he had never seen before.

The shopkeeper, having recovered his senses, quickly called out:

"Go quickly... and call Old Chen!"

"Inform the gang leader!"

……

After a while.

Old Chen returned, accompanied by Yu Changtian, the leader of the Poison Scorpion Gang.

The Viper Gang is also a force under the command of 'Camel Bell Venerable,' and is the apparent leader of Oasis Market.

Yu Changtian and Old Chen went up to the second floor of the restaurant, and they were also shocked by the scene before them.

It's not that they haven't seen dead people before.

But this is the first time I've seen a scene where all the corpses were cut in half with a single stroke.

"The murderer, Xiao Bieli?"

"Was that young man Xiao Bieli?" Old Chen murmured in disbelief as he looked at the words written in blood on the ground.

Yu Changtian suppressed his discomfort, walked to Feng Lu's body, picked up a token, and his expression changed drastically:

"He is an elder of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, at least a fourth-grade Grandmaster!"

"Go quickly and inform the Venerable One!"

The entire restaurant was sealed off.

Half a day later,

Tatata!

A dozen or so fast horses arrived at the oasis market. The leader was tall and upright, with bulging muscles and prominent veins. His face was sharply defined, as if carved by a knife and axe, exuding a resolute temperament.

The martial arts practitioners in the Oasis Market all showed respect upon seeing the newcomer.

In the vast desert, no one could help but feel awe for "Camel Bell Venerable" Zhuomuer, and the newcomer was none other than "Iron-Armed Mad Bear" Gong Xiong, the top expert under Zhuomuer's command.

Gong Xiong was renowned throughout the desert. Three years ago, a fourth-rank master from another state broke the rules set by the "Camel Bell Venerable" in the desert and was eventually killed by Gong Xiong.

Gong Xiong did not linger outside the Oasis Market and went straight into the restaurant.

"Master Gong!"

"Hall Master!"

Yu Changtian and Old Chen hurriedly came forward to greet them!

Gong Xiong nodded:

"what happened?"

Old Chen and Yu Changtian exchanged a glance, and Old Chen spoke:

“Just now, a generous young man appeared in the Oasis Market and gave me a gold leaf as a reward.”

"However, after the Cangyuan Sword Sect arrived, we left the restaurant, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the Cangyuan Sword Sect members were dead!"

"This is the token found on the corpse!"

"According to the shopkeeper, after I left, the only people on the second floor besides the Cangyuan Sword Sect were that generous young man."

"If the writing on the ground was indeed left by that young man, then that young man is very likely Xiao Bieli, who is on the Dragon and Tiger List!"

Gong Xiong frowned:

"Go and see!"

Once they reached the second floor, Gong Xiong's brows furrowed even more.

After examining the area, Gong Xiong spoke:

"Trouble!"

Yu Changtian was somewhat puzzled:

"Master, the deaths of the Cangyuan Sword Sect members have nothing to do with us. Do you think the Cangyuan Sword Sect would cause us any trouble?"

Gong Xiong did not answer Yu Changtian's question, but shook his head:

Do you know the identities of these dead people?

“'Soul-Severing Sword' Feng Lu, 'Phantom Palm' Zhang Tao, and the Fish-Dragon Taoist of Heavenly Mystery Valley!”

“These three are all fourth-grade grandmasters, especially Feng Lu, the ‘Soul-Severing Sword’. He was once on the Dragon and Tiger List, and his swordsmanship is not weak even among fourth-grade grandmasters.”

"But... all eight of them died from a single blow!"

One cut?

Yu Changtian and Old Chen felt a chill run down their spines.

They had previously guessed that the person who made the move was much more skilled than the grandmaster who died in the inn, but they never expected that it would be three fourth-rank grandmasters.

Moreover, all three fourth-rank grandmasters died from a single blow!

Gong Xiong continued speaking to himself:

"I have never seen such a sinister slash. Every corpse was neatly split in the middle, as if it had been measured with a ruler!"

"And the Fish-Dragon Daoist from Tianji Valley also died... Regardless of whether the Cangyuan Sword Sect will cause us trouble, this desert is about to descend into chaos!"

"If the murderer is indeed Xiao Bieli, this young man has probably already reached the fourth-grade Grandmaster realm... no. His strength far surpasses that of an ordinary fourth-grade Grandmaster. Even I might not be his match!"

"It's likely that within two years, his name will be among the thirty-six names on the Grandmaster Ranking!"

"Take the body back and wait for the Cangyuan Sword Sect to come and claim it. I'll go back and report to the Venerable One!"

hiss!

Yu Changtian and Old Chen both gasped in shock.

How long has Xiao Bieli been on the Dragon and Tiger List?

Now, Master Gong is actually saying that it won't be long before Xiao Bieli's name appears on the Grandmaster Ranking?

Once you reach the fourth-grade Grandmaster level, anyone who wants to advance further will need a lot of time.

Even some prodigies experienced a slowdown in their cultivation speed after reaching the fourth-grade Grandmaster realm.

A seventeen-year-old fourth-grade grandmaster is terrifying enough!

If Xiao Bieli enters the Grandmaster Ranking before the age of twenty, then as long as he doesn't die young, he is destined to become a second-grade Celestial Being, or even a first-grade expert!

……

The news of Feng Lu, the "Soul-Severing Sword," dying at the Oasis Market still spread.

The death of a fourth-rank grandmaster caused a great uproar in the desert.

Moreover, the news spread quickly to other places, after all, the one who died was a fourth-rank grandmaster of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, one of the nine sects and six gangs.

At this time,

Xiao Bieli has returned to the Blood Robe Tower branch in Juyang City.

Feng Si Niang looked at Xiao Bieli sitting opposite her with a complicated expression, and after a long while, she said:

"No wonder you didn't ask the people in the building for help; it turns out you've already reached the fourth-grade Grandmaster realm!"

"And that stab!"

"What kind of slash was it exactly?"

As the person in charge of the Blood-Clad Pavilion branch, she learned about the incident at the Oasis Market immediately after it happened.

She even knew the details of Feng Lu and the others' deaths clearly.

A single slash splits the blade in two, unleashing eight deadly strikes!

She couldn't imagine how a fourth-rank grandmaster could kill eight experts with a single strike, including three who were also fourth-rank grandmasters.

She even suspected that the Xiao Bieli in front of her was an old monster in disguise.

Xiao Bieli simply smiled, handed Feng Lu's famous longsword and the letter found on Feng Lu to Feng Siniang, and said:

"Besides me, Feng Lu's purpose in coming here is to visit this branch of the Blood-Clad Tower."

"The imperial court intends to take action against the Blood-Clad Tower. I wonder if you can withstand it."

Feng Si Niang took the blood-stained letter, glanced at it twice, and then sneered:

"The fact that we have people in the Great Qian Dynasty is most likely not the court's intention, but rather the Sixth Prince's desire to show off in front of the Emperor."

"The Emperor intends to choose one of his three sons to be the Crown Prince!"

"Using the martial world as a chessboard, stirring up trouble and weakening its power, the Cangyuan Sword Sect's early decision to take sides is not a good thing!"

"Don't worry, 'Camel Bell Venerable' Zhuomu' is not stupid. He won't be stupid enough to personally take action against my Blood Robe Tower."

"However... you killed the Fish-Dragon Taoist of Tianji Valley. Tianji Valley has always been protective of its own, and there are only three or four people in Tianji Valley who are proficient in divination. The Fish-Dragon Taoist was one of the best among them. Now that he is dead, I'm afraid someone from Tianji Valley will come to Yanzhou."

Xiao Bieli frowned and said:

"What exactly is this 'divine divination' all about?"

"I didn't see anything special about those two moves from the Fish-Dragon Taoist, so how was he able to pinpoint my location?"

Feng Si Niang shook her head:

"I don't know either!"

"The person in Tianji Valley who is proficient in divination will only appear once every few decades. Even within the Imperial Observatory, there are not many people skilled in divination. They have always been mysterious. However, perhaps the experts in the building know something."

Xiao Bieli asked again:

"Was the old emperor really killed by assassins from the Blood-Clad Tower ninety years ago?"

"I heard that in that battle ninety years ago, the Blood-Clad Tower suffered heavy losses, and even several of its core assassins were killed?"
