Chapter 54 The God of Slaughter Slays in One Strike

"Old Guo! How are you?"

Gao Yu protected Guo Ling in front of him and asked with some concern.

Chen Yao's charming face was also pale with fright as she followed closely beside Gao Yu.

If she had known, she wouldn't have come tonight...

Guo Ling shook his head and said, "I'm alright!"

He looked at Yan Chu and said solemnly, "Yan Chu, I admit you are very strong! Let's end tonight's matter here!"

"You and I both take a step back. You let the three of us leave, and I will speak with the Gao Family later to cancel the bounty on you."

He was no ordinary enshrinement; his status in the Gao Family was very high, even above some direct descendants.

As a Fifth Realm Martial Artist, he still had a certain degree of say.

Yan Chu laughed; this was the first time he had seen such a way of begging for mercy.

"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Didn't you say there's no life left under your sword? Why are you starting to beg for mercy now?"

"Being arrogant is against the law, don't you know?"

Hearing this, Guo Ling's expression turned sour.

"Young man, I advise you to be lenient whenever possible!"

"If this old man truly risks his life, don't think you'll come out unscathed either!"

Yan Chu sneered, "Even those who offend the Abbot can't leave, and you think you can leave after offending me?"

After saying that, the azure nether saber on his shoulder slashed down, the crimson saber glow falling like heavenly fire, burning away all filth.

Boom!

This strike split a large tree that was several people wide in half, but it didn't kill Guo Ling.

He was carrying Gao Yu and Chen Yao in each hand, rushing through the treetops, covering over ten meters in a single step, rapidly escaping.

Yan Chu sneered and thought to himself, "Max out Golden Goose Skill!"

Instantly, countless cultivation memories flooded into his mind. The muscle lines of his legs became smoother, and a light, airy feeling appeared on his body.

[Golden Goose Skill (Perfection)]

The final level, Soaring Skyward, was completely mastered by him. This movement technique had reached the Realm of Perfection.

Swoosh!

Without seeing Yan Chu use any leverage, his whole body seemed weightless as he lightly tapped the treetops, catching up behind the three in just a few blinks.

"Old Guo! He's caught up! Faster!!"

Gao Yu, held in Guo Ling's hand, was scared out of his wits.

This pressure of approaching death was truly terrifying.

"Damn it!"

Guo Ling's old face was grim. Glancing sideways, he saw Yan Chu raise his saber again, the blade condensing heat that could incinerate everything.

This strike was even more terrifying than the previous one.

He had no confidence at all that he could block it.

"Take them!"

Guo Ling swung both arms. As the blade fell, it met the stunned faces of Gao Yu and Chen Yao.

They truly hadn't expected that Guo Ling would directly throw them out to block the saber just to save his own life.

Pfft! Pfft!

Without even a groan, the two were each cut into two pieces.

[Killed a Fourth Realm direct descendant of the Gao Family, settled a grudge, Experience +1000]

[Killed a Third Realm Martial Artist who betrayed friends and relatives, very satisfying, Experience +500]

Swish!

A sword light pierced through the gap between the corpses, attacking Yan Chu's face just as he finished his strike and before new strength could be gathered.

It had to be said that Guo Ling's timing was excellent.

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.

Yan Chu pointed with his left hand. The formless and invisible finger force twisted the sword light, leaving only a shallow white mark on his index finger.

In the next second, the aura on his body suddenly exploded.

He pushed his masculine and grand True Qi to the limit. Combined with the Wood Burning Saber Technique, it was like adding wings to a tiger. Layers of fiery red saber curtains submerged Guo Ling.

Clang, clang, clang!

In an instant, the saber and sword collided over a hundred times. With a 'ding', a piece of a broken sword flew out, and the fiery red saber light reflected Guo Ling's pale old face.

"Spa..."

Before he could finish his plea for mercy, a pillar of blood sprayed from his neck. His head flew high, and his headless body hit the ground.

Yan Chu was right; those who offended him truly couldn't leave.

[Killed a Fifth Realm Gao Family enshrinement, Experience +3000, God Slaying Single Saber Strike +1]

"Oh? God Slaying Single Saber Strike?!"

Hearing this prompt, Yan Chu was truly overjoyed.

As expected of the first kill of a Fifth Realm, it actually dropped such a good thing.

This saber technique could be said to be very famous.

It was the ultimate skill of the Japanese Yagyu Family in the world of "The World's First". The Moves were ruthless, heartless, swift, and sharp.

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami used this saber technique to dominate the Japanese Martial Forest, once leaving Duan Tianya with no power to fight back.

But that kid Duan Tianya was also impressive.

Not only did he sleep with both sisters of the Yagyu Family, but he also killed both his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

Yan Chu admired no one but Duan Tianya!

An absolute hero of the resistance!

Coming back to it, in the world of "The World's First", this saber technique should be second only to Dominating the World, especially the final Three Sabers of Avidya.

However, the final form of God Slaying Single Saber Strike, Snow Drifting in the Human World, wasn't bad either. Seeing snow meant seeing blood—beautiful yet ruthless.

It felt a bit like holding an axe and dancing while chopping people.

Yan Chu called up his panel.

[Host: Yan Chu]

[Cultivation: Fifth Realm Channel Opening Early Stage]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Yang Divine Art (Fifth Level 1690/32000), Thirteen Protectors Hardened Golden Bell Shield (Fourth Level 1300/15000)]

[Experience Points: 11040]

"Experience points have broken ten thousand!"

Yan Chu's face showed a sincere smile.

It should have been fifteen thousand, but he had just spent nearly four thousand to raise Golden Goose Skill to Perfection.

Wood Burning Saber Technique had reached the limit of subtle realm, and now the indicator had automatically changed to Perfection, meaning this saber technique could no longer be improved.

With a thought, Golden Goose Skill and Wood Burning Saber Technique automatically disappeared from the panel, making it look a bit cleaner.

"Does God Slaying Single Saber Strike only need 1000 experience to enter the first level?"

Yan Chu was a bit puzzled, but on second thought, it seemed natural.

He was no longer a novice in saber techniques.

As one of the Shaolin Seventy-Two Ultimate Arts, the Wood Burning Saber Technique had been cultivated to the level of Perfection by him, which meant his own saber Realm was not bad.

With his current Foundation, the experience points needed to improve the God Slaying Single Saber Strike would naturally not be too much.

If he were an ordinary person with no cultivation, the God Slaying Single Saber Strike would definitely not need just this little experience to reach Entry level.

"Phew... that's good..."

Yan Chu was originally a bit worried.

As his cultivation improved, if every martial art and technique required a massive amount of experience points, how many people would he have to kill?

Wouldn't that lose the essence of satisfyingly settling grudges?

He wasn't the type to kill indiscriminately. If he killed random passersby for no reason, the System wouldn't provide experience points.

"Let's stick to the previous method and add 6000 experience to the Nine Yang Divine Art first!"

Crackle!

As the experience points were deducted, the True Qi in his body began to surge.

His Qi Sea spiraled upward, and the misty True Qi became increasingly dense.

The True Qi was like a drill, brutally forcing open the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming, then the Spleen Meridian of Foot-Taiyin, and the Heart Meridian of Hand-Shaoyin. In an instant, three more Principal Meridians were opened.

Splash!

The True Qi made a sound like flowing water, rushing through his body endlessly. A layer of black grime appeared on his skin, emitting a faint dark glow under the coverage of the automatically overflowing True Qi.

A foul stench hit his nose.

There was a pond not far away. Yan Chu rushed over and quickly washed himself clean.

Two small fish floated to the surface with their bellies up...

He looked at the panel again.
