17: Chapter 17 Speed is King, Self-created Draw Sword Slash
Ma Yong tapped his fingers lightly on the table, each tap feeling as if it were striking Butcher Zheng's heart.
He stood up slowly, and a pressure at the Peak of the Primordial Core Realm bore down like a mountain.
Butcher Zheng's knees went weak, and he knelt heavily on the ground.
"My... My Lord, please see clearly!"
Butcher Zheng pressed his forehead to the floor, his voice trembling.
"This subordinate has absolutely no disloyal intentions!"
"My Fierce Tiger Gang is even more loyal to you, My Lord!"
"That waste Lai Three failed to handle the task; this time, this subordinate will personally take action and will definitely behead that Little Beast."
"Is that so?" Ma Yong sneered.
"Do you really think those great lords would look favorably upon your Fierce Tiger Gang?"
"Your Fierce Tiger Gang is nothing more than a third-rate Gang."
"In the capital, there are countless Gangs like this."
"If I did not see you two brothers as talented and useful, I would have wiped you out long ago."
Butcher Zheng knelt on the ground, beads of sweat the size of beans seeping from his forehead.
Ma Yong's pressure weighed on his back like a physical object, making him almost unable to breathe.
"My... My Lord!" Butcher Zheng's voice trembled.
"This subordinate will definitely not let that Little Beast run away again this time."
Ma Yong snorted coldly. "Hmph!"
"I don't care what method you use."
"Before midnight tonight, I want to see his head."
"This subordinate understands!"
"Since you understand, then get lost!" Ma Yong ordered in a cold tone.
Hearing this, Butcher Zheng scrambled to stand up, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.
After Butcher Zheng exited and left, Li Linger emerged from behind the screen.
She walked slowly and leaned coquettishly against Ma Yong's chest.
"My Lord, there won't be another failure this time, right?"
Ma Yong pinched her chin.
"If Butcher Zheng still cannot take down a mere Jailer who has just entered the path of martial arts, then there is no need for the Fierce Tiger Gang to exist."
At this moment, after consuming the last life origin crystal, Gu Han finally Cultivated the "Town Martial Slash" to Perfection.
"Now, my saber technique and movement technique are both maxed out."
"This batch of life origin crystals was not spent in vain!"
"Now, I can take on ten at once."
"It's just that these saber techniques are a bit tedious."
"They lack the speed to kill in one Move and the element of surprise."
Gu Han went through all the saber techniques in his mind.
"I need a saber technique, one that is very simple, practical, extremely powerful, and fits me very well."
"Finding such a saber technique specifically is difficult, like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Not only does it waste time, but it might not even be a perfect fit for me."
"To find a saber technique that perfectly fits me, I can only create it myself..."
Gu Han thought about creating a saber technique himself.
At this moment, if anyone else heard Gu Han's inner thoughts, they would surely mock him for overestimating his capabilities.
A mere Martial Artist in the Meridian Connecting Realm actually harboring the delusional dream of creating their own saber technique.
It was simply the height of absurdity, a pipe dream.
But Gu Han's thinking was different.
Plus, before his Transmigration, he had read the masterpieces of martial arts masters like Jin Yong and Gu Long.
He was also a veteran reader of web novels for ten years.
What kind of theory hadn't he seen?
His gaze fell on the Aptitude column of the panel.
Having the Aptitude of a "Good Talent" was something ordinary people could only look up to.
When he had just Cultivated the "Town Martial Art" Meridian Connecting chapter, Gu Han had already felt it clearly.
If he still had his previous trash Aptitude, he wouldn't even dream of Cultivating it to Perfection without ten life origin crystals.
So, with this kind of Aptitude, why not try creating a saber technique?
Moreover, Gu Han had already Cultivated so many Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, and all of them had reached Perfection.
These were all his foundations; it wasn't just a whim.
"Do it!"
Immediately, Gu Han sat cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and let his thoughts drift.
At this moment, Gu Han recalled the classic quote of the "Fire Cloud Evil God": "In the world of martial arts, only speed cannot be broken!"
With this thought, Gu Han poured all his focus into it.
"No matter the Realm of cultivation, speed is always one of the best tricks to win by surprise."
"Unless one is a Martial Artist who practices iron-body techniques, before the Divine Intent Realm, the body cannot withstand the damage of sharp weapons."
"My current saber technique Moves are too complex. To achieve speed and kill in one strike, unless there is a huge difference in Realm, the enemy will have time to react once the Move is used."
"I must increase the speed of executing the Moves."
"And this speed is divided into movement speed and execution speed."
"The current movement technique is hard to reach the point where, once activated, the enemy's vision goes black."
"I can only rely on the speed of the Move execution."
"So, the Move I create must be fast, extremely fast."
Following this line of thought, countless flashes of inspiration collided in Gu Han's mind.
His Good Talent Aptitude made the various inspirations in Gu Han's mind seem inexhaustible.
His mind could also support this kind of consumption.
A quarter of an hour, one hour, two hours...
Suddenly, a fragment of memory from his previous life flashed.
"Fu Hongxue..."
"Blade Drawing Slash..."
"Drawing and sheathing the blade over ten thousand times every day."
"The blade speed is as fast as lightning, and the power is incomparably great."
"Fu Hongxue relied on the Blade Drawing Slash to traverse the Jianghu."
Gradually, Gu Han constantly conceptualized the outline of the "Blade Drawing Slash" in his mind.
This is a surprise attack saber technique.
It emphasizes that if you don't strike, you don't strike, but once you do, you kill the enemy in a flash.
The "Blade Drawing Slash" contains the saber Dao foundation of Gu Han's two existing saber techniques.
Like an assassin in the dark, it leaves the enemy defenseless.
Even if they know you are coming, they cannot grasp the moment you strike.
The moment the "Blade Drawing Slash" is executed, all Qi and blood, True Yuan, and consciousness are focused on one point; once the Move is made, the outcome is decided, and life or death is determined.
Gu Han opened his eyes excitedly and stood up.
In front of the old tree in the courtyard, his eyes calmly watched the leaves.
"Swish!"
The next moment, Gu Han quickly drew his saber with his right hand.
He poured all his strength into his arm and waist.
Like a cheetah pouncing on its prey, the blade light split the leaf in the blink of an eye.
From drawing the blade to splitting the leaf, it was just an instant!
【Nameless Saber Technique Recorded】
Watching the text float by, Gu Han knew he had succeeded.
Next, he only needed to practice diligently, or use life origin crystals to grind it to Perfection.
"Hoo..."
Gu Han exhaled deeply.
Just that one moment of drawing the blade consumed half of Gu Han's energy and spirit.
If his Qi and blood were not deep and abundant, he might not have been able to withstand this kind of consumption.
"This 'Blade Drawing Slash' is too exaggerated!"
"It is definitely not a Meridian Connecting Realm Martial Skill; it can at least reach the Divine Intent Realm Martial Skill level."
Gu Han's guess was not wrong; the "Blade Drawing Slash" he created could already be considered a Divine Intent Realm Martial Skill.
Although there was no manifestation of Concept yet, it could already integrate the saber wielder's intent into it.
Immediately, a new saber technique appeared in the Martial Skill column on the panel.
Then, Gu Han silently recited in his heart, naming this saber technique "Blade Drawing Slash".
host: Gu Han
life essence: 16 / 100
Aptitude: Good Talent
Realm: Meridian Connecting Realm Level 9
Cultivation Technique: Furnace Blood Refining Art - Perfection, Town Martial Art (Meridian Connecting Chapter) - Perfection
Martial Skill: Town Prison Saber Technique - Perfection, Flying on Grass - Perfection, Town Martial Slash - Perfection, Blade Drawing Slash - Entry
life essence Remnants: + 50
life origin crystal: 0
The panel showed that "Blade Drawing Slash" was just at the Entry level.
Although "Blade Drawing Slash" was created by Gu Han.
However, Gu Han had used the cultivation theories of martial arts novel characters from his previous life, which was a kind of accidental success.
At the same time, Gu Han could vaguely feel the extraordinariness of this saber technique.
"Theories from the previous life, blooming in this life."
"It was worth all those years of hard study!"
Gu Han felt a burst of happiness in his heart.
Immediately, according to his design, he kept drawing and sheathing the blade.
Repeating the practice like this, every time the blade fell steadily in front of the leaf.
The cultivation progress of Gu Han's "Blade Drawing Slash" was also constantly increasing.
