Chapter 76: Wasn't he practicing the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?

"Young Master!"

"We respectfully welcome Young Master out of seclusion! From this day forth, your divine skills will advance greatly! Your power will be boundless! You will unify the Jianghu! And your glory will last for ages!"

Just after he came out, Wang Ping and the other man knelt on the ground, greeting his exit from seclusion.

Liu Dayuan's eye twitched slightly. He glanced at Wang Ping beside him; the man's current expression was fanatical and sincere, as if he had been brainwashed.

That expression, those actions—they were absolutely from the heart.

He had to learn from this!

Yan Chu was in high spirits.

With his cultivation having reached the Perfection of the Sixth Realm, he was in a great mood. He nodded at Wang Ping and the other man and said, "Get up! You have done well!"

The two knew that Yan Chu was referring to gathering the members of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang and rebuilding the headquarters. They immediately replied in unison:

"It is all thanks to Young Master's great fortune! Your martial arts are peerless! Your might shakes the four corners of the world!"

To the side, Li Mingzhe's aged face crinkled with a smile like a chrysanthemum. He stood with his hands hanging down, bowing slightly.

"Congratulations to Great Hero Yan on your greatly advanced cultivation! Unifying the Jianghu of Longhua Prefecture! It is just around the corner!"

At this moment, facing Yan Chu directly, he felt the man's terror all the more.

Although the other party had already retracted his aura, that formless and intangible sense of oppression still made his hair stand on end involuntarily, his heart filled with awe.

Wang Ping introduced him:

"Young Master, this is Grand Elder Li Mingzhe. He wished to seek an audience with you, but seeing that you were busy, he waited outside for three or four hours."

"Oh..."

Yan Chu had long known that Li Mingzhe was waiting outside and knew his purpose, but he still said with a half-smile:

"I recall that just a few days ago, Elder Li was still shouting for my head? Now that you see me, are you planning to fight me again?"

Gasp!

Li Mingzhe was so scared he nearly jumped up. He hurriedly knelt down.

"Great Hero Yan, you jest. How would this old man dare to have such thoughts? I have come this time to tell you a piece of news, and also to present a treasure."

After speaking, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve.

Upon opening it, inside was a fist-sized blood-red precious jade. It was clear throughout like glazed glass, exquisite and beautiful, emitting a faint, fragrant scent.

Yan Chu took a light sniff, and it actually caused the blood within his body to begin to stir, seeming to give rise to a strong desire to swallow this precious jade in one gulp.

Li Mingzhe smiled and explained:

"This is a precious jade I obtained by chance many years ago. After checking ancient texts, I discovered it is the legendary Red Jade Blood Marrow, which belongs to the top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure."

"This Red Jade Blood Marrow can multiply physical strength, and it has no side effects. It is a treasure that all Martial Artists who practice hard styles dream of."

"Today, I present it to Great Hero Yan, wishing you a long and prosperous path in martial arts, and that you may soon reach the Peak of martial arts!"

Yan Chu took the brocade box and inhaled deeply once more.

The proficiency of his Thirteen Protectors Hardened Golden Bell Shield, which had previously stagnated, began to rise again at this moment.

Good stuff!

The value of this Red Jade Blood Marrow could not be compared to the viper precious blood and the Bodhi snake gall he had obtained before.

Yan Chu put the brocade box away and asked:

"And the news?"

Li Mingzhe's expression became much more serious as he said:

"I have eyes and ears within the prefecture city. Not long ago, news came that the 'Gentleman Sword' Yue Jinhua and the Six Doors Commander Ma Qingzong are on their way."

"The major powers of the Anti-Yan Alliance have also already set out. They want to deal with Great Hero Yan together, so this old man specifically came to pass the news to you!"

What?

Wang Ping and Liu Dayuan looked at each other, their eyes unable to hide their shock.

Yue Jinhua was a top-tier Prodigy. It was said that when he was competing for the Legacy in the Cangmang Mountains before, none of the heads of the major factions could take a single sword strike from him.

And Ma Qingzong was a Sixth Realm Martial Artist, the true number one person in Longhua Prefecture.

They were actually going to join forces to deal with Young Master?

Not to mention the other factions; even if they weren't Yan Chu's match, they could still serve as a distraction, right?

Could Young Master handle it?

The two looked at Yan Chu, but saw that his expression hadn't changed in the slightest; he even curled his lip imperceptibly, and they couldn't help but feel relieved.

Li Mingzhe was also carefully observing Yan Chu.

Seeing his appearance, his heart rejoiced.

He had bet correctly!

After he had secretly run away before, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt.

Recalling carefully every time Yan Chu fought someone, it was the other party who died miserably in various ways, while Yan Chu was always perfectly fine.

This made him begin to hesitate.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to take a gamble.

At worst, if he saw things going badly, he would just run again.

Anyway, his movement technique was good; as long as he was determined to escape, he should still be able to save his life.

Now it seemed his decision was indeed correct.

Yan Chu's appearance clearly showed he was confident and hadn't taken those people seriously at all.

"What is the background of that 'Gentleman Sword' exactly?"

Yan Chu only knew that the other party was ranked nineteenth on the heavenly pride ranking, but he knew nothing about his identity or background.

Liu Dayuan knew a lot about affairs in the Jianghu and immediately replied:

"The 'Gentleman Sword' Yue Jinhua is from Pingzhou Province. His Master, Daoist Qinglu, is a Great Grandmaster of Pingzhou, and the Yue Family he belongs to is also a major Family in Pingzhou, with more than one Grandmaster guarding it."

"What martial arts does he Cultivate?"

"It is rumored that the Internal Skill Yue Jinhua Cultivates is the Azure Mist Jade Liquid Returning Elixir Method passed down by Daoist Qinglu, while his sword technique gathers the strengths of a hundred schools, with the primary one being the Yue Family's ancestral Jade-Shattering Cloud-Piercing Sword Technique."

"Not the Bixie Sword Manual?"

Yan Chu's tone was a bit disappointed.

"The Bixie Sword Manual?"

Liu Dayuan frowned and thought carefully, but he had never heard of such a sword technique in the Jianghu.

"Replying to Young Master, as far as this subordinate knows, Yue Jinhua should not be cultivating such a sword technique. Of course, it is possible he has some hidden trump card, who knows!"

"Mm, I know!"

Yan Chu nodded and was just about to say something when his expression suddenly shifted, and he looked into the distance.

He saw a middle-aged man in black and a young man in white approaching together. The distance of several hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye. Their feet seemed to be riding the wind, and they landed lightly more than ten meters in front of Yan Chu.

The middle-aged man in black was still holding a dripping head. Its eyes were wide open, its expression fearful, unable to close its eyes even in death.

"Xiao Wu!"

Wang Ping cried out in alarm. This was his trusted aide he had arranged outside Lanjiang Valley specifically to keep watch and give warnings.

There were more than ten people with Xiao Wu.

Looking at this situation, it was not hard to imagine what the fate of the others was.

"Young Master, these two are Ma Qingzong and Yue Jinhua!"

Liu Dayuan suppressed his shock and whispered beside Yan Chu.

He didn't expect that just as they mentioned these two, the actual people would arrive.

Ma Qingzong was a Sixth Realm Martial Artist. His True Qi was released externally, distorting the air; ordinary people would feel dizzy and nauseous just by looking at it for a few moments.

Yue Jinhua's sword momentum was also not to be underestimated.

Liu Dayuan didn't even dare to look much; he just glanced, and his eyes felt sore, almost to the point of shedding tears.

Both of them had indifferent expressions, looking down at the few of them with a high-and-mighty gaze, as if facing ants.

Even though Yan Chu's battle record was dazzling and his reputation for ferocity was widespread in Longhua Prefecture.

In front of the two of them, there was no difference from anyone else; it seemed they could also be crushed to death with a casual wave of their hands.

Ma Qingzong's square face was covered in frost, and his tone carried no emotion: "I didn't expect us to be late after all; you have already taken control of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang."

"Since that is the case, there is no need for the Raging Flood Dragon Gang to exist. Today, just disappear along with it!"

For these so-called major powers, it wasn't that the Six Doors couldn't manage them, they just usually couldn't be bothered.

Since he had personally taken action today, it was just right to wipe out the Raging Flood Dragon Gang along the way and support a new force to take its place.

At this moment, Yue Jinhua suddenly spoke: "Senior Brother, may I have a word?"

"Oh? Junior Brother, please speak!"

The corners of Yue Jinhua's mouth held a faint smile, and he said with a composed manner:

"This person was able to kill Yuan Ye, so he must have some ability."

"Since he killed my attendant, then pull out his tongue, cut off his ears, and blind his eyes, and have him serve by my side in Yuan Ye's place."

"In this way, not only is he punished, but I have also replenished my attendant, which can be considered a win-win situation."

"Hmm..."

Ma Qingzong pondered for a moment and nodded: "That works!"

"And the others?"

Yue Jinhua smiled and said: "Since these people are Yan Chu's accomplices, then kill them all. Anyway, it won't take much effort!"

"The Raging Flood Dragon Gang is, after all, a small power, perhaps they have one or two hidden treasures; consider it a gift from Junior Brother to Senior Brother!"

The two spoke and laughed with ease, deciding the lives of everyone in just a few sentences.

From beginning to end, they didn't even look at the few of them more than once.

As if Yan Chu and the others didn't exist in their eyes.

Or perhaps their lives were not meant to be controlled by themselves.
