Blade and Man as One! Cut the Grass Without Removing the Roots, and It Will Grow Again in the Spring Breeze

Someone like Lin Chen, even if caught, would either be thrown into the Bright Prison to be tortured or taken to Purgatory and locked up.

There were no other possibilities.

Clearly, Lin Chen didn't want either of these options.

So, after staring at Ye Liuyun for a moment, Lin Chen made his move.

He raised his hand and struck with his saber, showing no mercy as it fell towards Ye Liuyun.

"Be careful, sir!"

Even though they knew Ye Liuyun was strong, Si Nan and the others couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at the strike from an Acquired Realm martial artist.

Azure Sun Force!

His internal energy circulated. As he drew his saber, the scorching internal energy burned on the Embroidered Spring Blade like flames.

"Clang!"

The two sabers clashed. The heavy and powerful blow not only chipped Lin Chen's saber but also sent him flying several meters back.

"This is impossible!"

Lin Chen couldn't believe it.

In terms of internal energy, he and Ye Liuyun weren't that far apart, so why was there such a huge difference in strength?

"Even among those in the Acquired Realm, there are highs and lows."

Ye Liuyun, however, understood. It was the Born Weak trait that was dragging Lin Chen down.

On the other hand, Ye Liuyun himself, with all his enhancing traits combined, was unmatched by anyone at the same level.

"Sever!"

Under Lin Chen's astonishment, Ye Liuyun struck again and again, continuously slashing at him.

The scorching internal energy made Ye Liuyun's saber glow red.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Under the powerful force, Lin Chen could only passively block with his saber for a time, unable to even counterattack.

"Break!"

Finally, with a soft cry from Ye Liuyun, the saber in Lin Chen's hand fell to the ground, and a saber directly pierced into Lin Chen's shoulder.

The force was so great that Lin Chen immediately half-knelt on the ground, his hands gripping Ye Liuyun's blade tightly.

"I'm not reconciled. I just wanted revenge. What did I do wrong?"

"No one said you were wrong. It's just that you happened to run into me."

Ye Liuyun never said there was anything wrong with Lin Chen seeking revenge. As a Brocade Guard, there was also nothing wrong with him apprehending Lin Chen, the culprit behind the Golden Saber Sect's destruction.

"Since you don't want to go to the Bright Prison, I'll send you on your way!"

He drew his saber.

Under Lin Chen's unwilling gaze, he directly slashed down.

"Whew!"

Looking at Lin Chen, who had fallen to the ground with an unwilling expression, Ye Liuyun slowly exhaled a turbid breath. As expected, he was a naturally cold-hearted person. Not only did he feel no discomfort when taking action, but he also felt a strange connection.

"Lord is mighty!"

When Ye Liuyun resheathed his Embroidered Spring Blade.

Si Nan and the other Brocade Guards all walked over with faces full of admiration.

A place like the Brocade Guard naturally admired the strong. They had originally thought that Ye Liuyun had reached the position of Centurion through his background.

But now, seeing how powerful Ye Liuyun was, their gazes towards Ye Liuyun became even more convinced.

"Alright! Go do your work!"

Waving his hand, Ye Liuyun ignored the flattery.

He first had everyone continue searching for things within the Golden Saber Sect, then looked at Lin Chen, who had fallen dead on the ground.

He didn't need to look at the "Born Weak" trait, but Ye Liuyun still wanted the Blade Talent and the Purple Quality Extraordinary Comprehension.

Another Purple Quality Talent was in hand.

"Detected that 'Photographic Memory' and 'Extraordinary Comprehension' have extremely high compatibility. Do you wish to fuse?"

The Photographic Memory he had obtained before was also a trait related to comprehension. Two traits with high compatibility could be used for fusion.

Fuse!

There was nothing to hesitate about. Ye Liuyun immediately chose to fuse.

Talent Trait System!
Host: Ye Liuyun!
Realm: Acquired Realm martial artist!
Martial Arts: Wind Severing Saber Technique, Azure Sun Force, Pine Wood Saber Technique, Jade Shattering Hand,
Talent Traits: Luck (Purple), Steel Bones (Purple), Blade and Man as One (Purple), Extraordinary Comprehension (Purple), Sword Talent (Green), Extreme Yang Body (Purple), Scent Recognition (Green),

Blade and Man as One (Purple): Possesses excellent Blade Talent, can quickly master any saber technique.

Several enhancements to his Blade Talent.

This allowed Ye Liuyun's originally Blue Quality Blade Talent to successfully upgrade to a Purple state.

And on the progress bar, it had also improved quite a bit.

"Not bad! Not bad!"

Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied with this result.

Furthermore, with the fusion of the traits, Ye Liuyun could feel that he had a different understanding of his original saber techniques.

If Ye Liuyun were to fight Lin Chen again this time, Ye Liuyun was confident that he could completely resolve Lin Chen within three strikes.

The other Brocade Guards had all gone to search for things.

At this moment, only Si Nan and Shi Sheng remained by Ye Liuyun's side.

"What did you learn?"

For now, Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied with these two subordinates.

The sudden question made both Si Nan and Shi Sheng pause. Shi Sheng was the first to speak.

"Lord's saber technique is sharp. This subordinate is dull-witted and did not learn a single move or stance."

"..."

Who told you to learn my saber technique? Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes speechlessly at Shi Sheng.

To be able to give such an answer, you truly live up to your name.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is that what the Lord meant?"

Si Nan, who was already good at observing expressions, immediately saw that Ye Liuyun's gaze was off and immediately said to Shi Sheng.

He understands what I mean?

Ye Liuyun looked at Si Nan in surprise. Facing Ye Liuyun's gaze, Si Nan first gave a fawning smile, then immediately said decisively.

"Lord is insightful and solves cases like a god. If it weren't for Lord's cleverness this time, we wouldn't have discovered that the culprit never left the Golden Saber Sect. Lord wants to tell us that we need to think calmly when solving cases in the future, right?"

Shi Sheng, who was beside him, also cooperated by showing a look of sudden realization, looking as if he had learned something.

"Nonsense!"

What nonsense about solving cases? Although he had watched many episodes of famous detectives, he had never personally solved any cases.

"I want to tell you, if you don't cut the weeds by the roots, they will grow back with the spring breeze!"

This was what Ye Liuyun had learned from Lin Chen.

Was Jin Yuanba, the sect master of the Golden Saber Sect, wrong?

In reality, in the martial arts world, killing an entire family for a martial arts manual was far too common and had long been nothing new.

Perhaps the biggest mistake Jin Yuanba made was leaving Lin Chen alive.

The martial arts world was like this. Although they all said that the martial arts world wasn't just about fighting and killing, in most cases, the martial arts world really was just about fighting and killing.

"If there are similar incidents in the future, remember not to leave any survivors. Life is only one. Once dead, it's dead. Don't talk about whether anyone will avenge you. Even if the revenge is taken, if your life is gone, what's the point?"

Shi Sheng might still be a bit confused.

But Si Nan was the first to react, his expression enlightened.

"Understood, Lord!"
