Chapter 58 I almost died, have you?

[Slaying the wicked Fifth Realm Martial Artist of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang, extremely gratifying, Experience +3000]

"Protector Deng!!"

The members of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang waiting on the periphery were pale with shock.

In their hearts, the Left and Right Protectors were second only to the Gang Leader, standing on the same level as the Grand Elder and the Vice Gang Leader.

But now, he had died without even being able to block a single strike from Yan Chu?

Even more terrifyingly, Protector Zhang had both his fleshy palms severed, and the Grand Elder had avoided the fight midway.

The three of them working together were not even a match for Yan Chu in a single exchange!

Even the Gang Leader couldn't achieve such a feat!

Everyone had underestimated Yan Chu's strength!

That strike just now was definitely not something an ordinary Fifth Realm could control.

They had been impulsive today; forget about killing Yan Chu, they were likely only going to further cement his fierce reputation.

"Scatter and leave!"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Li Mingzhe made a prompt decision and turned to flee.

Yan Chu's strength far exceeded their expectations.

That strike was truly too stunning, too terrifying.

Deng Hua was dead, and Wei Zhong was half-crippled. If they continued, not only would they fail to kill the opponent, but he would also lose his life here.

Thinking of this, Li Mingzhe pushed his lightwork to the limit, moving several times faster than a fine steed; in an instant, only a shadow remained.

As for the others, they could only fend for themselves; at least he had given them a warning.

It had to be said, the older ginger is truly spicier!

He hadn't survived this long just by relying on his Fifth Realm cultivation, but also on his escape skills.

His lightwork was considered unparalleled within the Raging Flood Dragon Gang.

"Grand Elder! Don't leave us behind..."

"Run!!"

The remaining people stared blankly at the Grand Elder's fleeing figure. After a moment of shock, they fell into total chaos, whipping their horses to scatter and flee.

They had arrived in such a menacing fashion, yet who would have thought they would be fleeing so miserably in less than fifteen minutes.

Wei Zhong took advantage of the chaos to land, wanting to take his severed hands with him.

Unfortunately, his wrists were bare and the pain was unbearable; he could only use True Qi to suction them up and tuck them under his arm.

Before he could make another move, a dark shadow unexpectedly loomed over him.

He looked up and couldn't help but roar, "Yan Chu! Do you really have to be so ruthless?!"

What answered him was an azure treasure saber.

Hum!

The blade vibrated, and a head fell to the ground.

The "Primal Chaos Thunderbolt Palm," famous in the Jianghu for decades, died easily at the hands of Yan Chu.

[Slaying a Fifth Realm Martial Artist of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang, extremely gratifying, Experience +3000, Pusishen Snake Gallbladder +20]

The prompt flashed before his eyes, but Yan Chu didn't care.

He looked at the scattering members of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang, a heat appearing in his eyes.

"Wait for me here!"

After giving Su Zhirou a quick instruction, Yan Chu took flight. His Golden Goose Skill at Perfection unfolded, making him look like a great wild goose crossing the sky.

"Spare me!!"

The three men galloping on horseback suddenly saw the figure behind them and hurriedly begged for mercy, but two fist-shaped Qi glows blasted down, turning the three men and their horses into a mist of blood.

[Blasting a Third Realm Martial Artist of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang who intended to attack you, extremely gratifying, Experience +500]

[Blasting...]

...

After killing those three, Yan Chu changed direction again.

When a Fifth Realm Martial Artist charged at full speed, they were much faster than a horse.

Not to mention he also had the Golden Goose Skill at Perfection.

In a matter of moments, more than half of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang's people had been killed by him. Within a radius of several miles, corpses of the gang members could be seen everywhere.

Once today's events spread, it would surely further solidify Yan Chu's title as the "azure nether blade demon."

When the time came, anyone wanting to deal with him would have to weigh their options carefully.

After killing the last two, within his line of sight, he could no longer see anyone from the Raging Flood Dragon Gang.

Including Li Mingzhe, those who escaped numbered no more than a dozen.

After today, the Raging Flood Dragon Gang could be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality, with nearly half of its mid-to-high-end combat power lost.

He did not continue the pursuit; he would personally go to claim the other half another day.

【Host: Yan Chu】

【Cultivation: Fifth Realm Meridian Connecting Realm Middle Stage】

【Cultivation Technique: Nine Yang Divine Art (Fifth Level 7690/32000), Thirteen Protectors Hardened Golden Bell Shield (Fourth Level 1300/15000)】

【Martial Skill: Great Demon Subduing Fist (Major Achievement 830/2600), Shifting Stars (Qi Shifting Stars 320/4000), Formless Tribulation Finger (Minor Achievement 130/1200), God Slaying Single Saber Strike (subtle realm 41/15000)】

【Items: 20 Pusishen Snake Gallbladders】

【Experience Points: 23500】

Seeing the experience on the panel, Yan Chu's breathing couldn't help but grow heavy.

He had never obtained so many experience points before.

There simply weren't many opportunities to kill people with a clear conscience.

This made his thoughts become a bit active, and an endless Killing Intent began to surge from his body.

But soon, this Killing Intent was forcibly suppressed by him.

He wasn't a true Devil Head, after all.

He couldn't bring himself to kill randomly without cause.

However, for those who had offended him, he didn't have much of a psychological burden.

Shaking his head, he put these thoughts aside for now.

"First, raise the God Slaying Single Saber Strike to Perfection!"

Instantly, a flood of memories poured into Yan Chu's mind. At this moment, an endless Killing Intent erupted from him, and his True Qi took on a sharp edge, leaking out and carving saber marks of various sizes into the ground.

He opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Ssh!

There was a large bluestone in front of him, which was directly sliced in half by that single breath.

"Good! With the God Slaying Single Saber Strike at Perfection, I can walk sideways in the Meridian Connecting Realm!"

The reason he chose to upgrade this saber technique first was that the God Slaying Single Saber Strike provided too great a boost to his combat power.

Originally, the cultivations of Li Mingzhe and the other two were not inferior to his.

Only because his saber technique was at subtle realm, the three of them couldn't even block one strike from him.

Even if his cultivation broke through to the Sixth Realm in the future, the God Slaying Single Saber Strike would still count as one of his greatest killing moves.

【Experience Points: 8541】

"Apply all the remaining experience to the Nine Yang Divine Art!"

Boom!

As the experience points returned to zero once again, a surge of surging True Qi appeared in his Meridians, starting from the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, followed by the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian, the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.

Four consecutive primary Meridians were rapidly opened. The True Qi within him circulated endlessly, increasing by a huge margin.

His cultivation subsequently broke through to the Meridian Connecting Realm Late Stage.

【Nine Yang Divine Art (Fifth Level 16231/32000)】

"Good! With my current strength, there's no need to wait for people to come to me!"

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Yan Chu's mouth.

He had been hiding away these past few days. Even after breaking through to the Fifth Realm, he hadn't dared to directly charge to their doors, fearing he would get trapped in an encirclement he couldn't escape from. A fire had long been building up in his heart.

But now, he no longer had such concerns.

With his current strength, it was enough to carve out a bloody path!

Next, he was going to start a big fire!

"Hm? Courting death!"

Yan Chu was thinking about which family to find first when his expression suddenly changed, and Killing Intent filled the air.

He hurriedly leaped up, moving like a gust of wind, rushing forward at extreme speed.

A moment later, he appeared before a large tree.

Under the tree, Su Zhirou didn't dare to move a muscle. Seeing him, a look of joy finally appeared in her eyes.

Behind her was an ordinary-looking, thin middle-aged man holding a strange sword.

The sword looked like a fire poker, with only the tip shimmering with a cold light, pressed against Su Zhirou's snow-white neck.

With just a light thrust, he could pierce through that beautiful neck.

"Who are you?"

Yan Chu's eyes narrowed slightly. The feeling this middle-aged man gave him was far above the three from the Raging Flood Dragon Gang just now.

Moreover, the lingering Killing Intent surrounding him was not inferior to his own at all.

A slight smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "Let me introduce myself. I am called Red Dot on Smooth Sand, and I was hired by the Lian Family to kill you!"

"Red Dot on Smooth Sand?"

A look of shock appeared in Su Zhirou's eyes as she hurriedly warned,

"Husband Yan, be careful! He was the number one assassin in Longhua Prefecture ten years ago! He once assassinated a Half-step Bright Aperture Realm expert!"

"This young lady is quite right! Everyone says I'm the number one assassin, but I don't actually like being called that."

The middle-aged man smiled, but the sword tip moved forward a bit.

Immediately, blood began to flow from the snow-white neck, appearing strikingly red against the jade-like skin.

Su Zhirou didn't dare to speak anymore.

Rumor had it that this "Red Dot on Smooth Sand" was temperamental and killed on a whim; she didn't dare to provoke him.

Yan Chu's expression didn't change in the slightest as he asked,

"Since you're so powerful, why do you need to use a woman as a threat? Could it be that you're afraid of dying by my hand?"

"The so-called number one assassin is probably just a coward!"

"Hmph!"

Red Dot on Smooth Sand snorted coldly, "You're just a young kid fresh out of the nest. You have no idea what I've been through, so how could you possibly understand me?"

"I've jumped off a hundred-meter cliff; have you? I've almost died; have you?"
