Chapter 125: Chapter 109: Meeting Zhu Yan Again, Lihexie Bang, Fusion-Type Cultivation Technique Mixed Element Skill

Meanwhile, in a courtyard within the Profound Water Sect.

Steward Yu stared solemnly at the newly arrived message. He had sent someone out yesterday to cripple Su Chen’s martial arts, yet they still hadn’t returned to report tonight. This inevitably caused him a degree of anxiety.

Knowing Zhao San, the man would have returned immediately to report the moment he completed the mission. This reliability was exactly why Steward Yu frequently assigned tasks to him. But this time, something seemed to have gone wrong.

Steward Yu muttered, "Zhao San’s strength is at Perfect Skill. Given Su Chen’s age, he could only have achieved minor mastery at best. Logically, this shouldn’t have happened."

Although he was reluctant to believe that Zhao San had perished, the report stated in black and white that Su Chen had disappeared along with him. This forced him to grow suspicious. He was certain that Zhao San’s death was connected to Su Chen.

He wondered, "Is it because Su Chen knows he killed Zhao San and fears retaliation from the Profound Water Sect that he immediately terminated his lease and fled? Has he truly left Dafeng City, or is he hiding within the city in disguise?"

Steward Yu carefully analyzed the information before him, trying to unravel Su Chen’s intentions. After a long while, he set the papers down and furrowed his brow with a light snort. "Regardless, having killed someone from my Profound Water Sect, you will absolutely not be let off easily."

Four days passed in a flash.

Su Chen’s life remained as peaceful as ever, and no suspicious individuals appeared near his residence. By consuming three Qi Blood Pills every day, he quickly pushed his progress panel to a critical point. He only needed to consume one more Qi Blood Pill to break through to the third level of the Iron Cloth Shirt.

However, Su Chen didn’t do this. Since he only needed half a unit of a Qi Blood Pill to max out the progress, he decided to rely on Blood Boiling Powder for the final push. After brewing and drinking five portions of Blood Boiling Powder one by one, the panel suddenly refreshed.

PFFT!

The moment Su Chen reached the third level of the Iron Cloth Shirt, his body violently shuddered, and he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Force conflict!"

It took a long time for Su Chen’s complexion to gradually regain its rosy hue. He muttered under his breath, immediately determining the cause of his vomiting blood.

When he broke through to the third level of the Iron Cloth Shirt, the internal force within his body suddenly surged madly into his organs, tempering them at an astonishing speed. This sudden tempering overwhelmed his internal organs, causing him to violently spray blood.

Fortunately, under Su Chen’s forceful control, the internal force returned to its original state just a moment later. However, the intense shockwave from moments ago left a dull ache in his lungs whenever he took a deep breath. It seemed the sudden impact had traumatized his lungs.

"Cough, cough, cough. The conflict of forces is truly lethal," he muttered. "If I hadn’t reacted in time, more than half of my lungs would have been crippled. It seems I must solve this problem as soon as possible, or else the consequences will eventually be unimaginable!"

That night.

A crisp breeze blew beneath a waning moon as stars hung low over the open fields. Inside a secluded courtyard, bright lights shone brilliantly.

RUSTLE RUSTLE.

The cool wind blew gently, causing light and shadows to dance.

"What is the matter?" A tall figure in thin clothing sat on a stone stool, pouring himself a cup of water.

As his voice fell, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard, standing stiffly straight in front of him. Previously, there had only been two people in the courtyard. This new arrival was dressed in all black, his body seemingly melting into the darkness.

Hearing the question, the figure spoke respectfully. "Reporting to the Dharma King. Protector Chang Yuan has sent news that he has found traces of the deaf-mute physician. Someone was seen in the Black Market of Dafeng City selling Blood Boiling Powder. They might know the deaf-mute physician’s whereabouts!"

"Oh?" The tall man let out a sound of surprise. After pondering for a moment, he said, "If that’s the case, then tell Chang Yuan to capture him and bring him back. He entered the gates of our Rebirth Sect, yet he still wants to stay out of our affairs? How laughable!"

"Yes, sir!" the man in black nodded.

The tall man then asked, "How is the matter regarding He Yuan progressing?"

"He still refuses to hand over the Cultivation Technique, but he is at the end of his rope. When the time comes, even if he doesn’t want to hand over the Cultivation Technique, he will be forced to," the man in black replied.

"Mm. Keep a close eye on him during this time to prevent a cornered beast from lashing out and ruining my grand plans. If you discover he intends to flee Dafeng City, kill him without mercy," the tall man said indifferently, taking a sip of tea.

"Understood!"

The tall man waved his hand, and the man in black disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Have you heard enough?"

Under the tranquil night sky, the tall man’s frosty voice suddenly rang out, falling into a nearby woman’s ears. Her trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner panic. Knowing that the tall man had already discovered her, she opened her eyes, only to meet a gaze that was cold to the absolute extreme. Yet, those chilling eyes belonged to a face adorned with a bright smile.

"I... I didn’t hear anything."

"No, you heard it."

The tall man gently stroked the woman’s cheek, his hand slowly gliding down. Then, one of his fingers suddenly twitched.

SQUELCH!

His finger ruthlessly pierced straight into the woman’s chest.

"Those who hear, must die!"

The tall man pulled out his finger, which was now stained with blood and bits of mangled flesh. Ignoring the woman’s wide, unblinking eyes that stared in death, he picked up her clothing and gently wiped his finger clean. This very finger had once subdued jackals and wolves, and conquered tigers and leopards. Now, it was reduced to toying with women, a realization that filled him with both sorrow and a mounting sense of helplessness.

He gazed up at the night sky, muttering under his breath, "He Yuan..."

Qingxi Town.

Located at the foot of Qingxi Mountain and the Profound Water Sect, it was an exceptionally prosperous town. Its liveliness was on par with White Stone City. Because it was backed by the Profound Water Sect, it had essentially developed into a small city of its own. It even formed a siphon effect on the surrounding towns, absorbing all the people and goods from the nearby areas like a whirlpool, making it the premier town that the nearby commoners relied upon for their livelihood.
