Tidal Wave Saber Technique Perfected! Lone Boat Slashes the Moon!

Chapter 21: Tidal Wave Saber Technique Perfected! Lone Boat Slashes the Moon!

"Hm?"

Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Mei's eyelids twitched, and they looked at Lu Chen.

It seemed they hadn't expected Lu Chen to be able to guess this.

"Who exactly are you people, to be able to absorb human blood? The dignified yamen, colluding with you fiends, aren't you afraid of the imperial court investigating you? Or perhaps, the entire imperial court is made up of people like you."

Lu Chen stared at the two of them and spoke.

He knew this world was already rotten to the core.

But!

The imperial court should at least maintain a semblance of order, right? If even the upper echelons of the court absorbed human blood, what would become of this world?

Could ordinary people still live?

They would likely have been wiped out long ago.

"Blood Sacrifice Cult..."

Suddenly, Chen Baisha, the leader of the Giant Shark Gang, showed a hint of panic. As if recalling something, his body involuntarily retreated, looking at the man and woman with terror.

"You're from the Blood Sacrifice Cult?"

He only knew these two came from the yamen and were friends with the magistrate's son.

But he never imagined they would absorb human blood, that they were people of the Blood Sacrifice Cult.

"Blood Sacrifice Cult?"

Lu Chen frowned, looked at Chen Baisha, and asked, "What is the Blood Sacrifice Cult?" "The Blood Sacrifice Cult is the greatest evil cult in the world. They worship the Blood God and believe that blood is the source of everything. As long as blood is sacrificed, one can attain eternal life and power... In the imperial court, anyone colluding with the Blood Sacrifice Cult, no matter who they are, will have their entire family exterminated. They... actually invited them..."

Su Yingxue behind him trembled as she spoke first.

"What?"

Lu Chen's eyes sharpened.

It was like that?

"Let's go, quickly!"

Suddenly, Chen Baisha, the leader of the Giant Shark Gang, couldn't take it anymore. Showing terror, he quickly beckoned to the people around him, turned around, and prepared to flee.

Involving the Blood Sacrifice Cult, this was not something his small gang could meddle in.

Originally, he just wanted to capture Lu Chen. But now, he didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to escape this place as quickly as possible!

"Gang Leader Chen, since you're already here, why the rush to leave?"

Suddenly, Senior Brother Zhang smiled. His body flashed, leaving behind a blur of blood. He no longer concealed his true nature, carrying a pungent smell of blood, and in an instant, he blocked Chen Baisha's path.

One of his palms was covered in blood-red light, emanating a strong bloody aura, and it fell directly towards Chen Baisha's body.

Chen Baisha let out a great cry. He felt the pungent smell of blood assaulting his senses, as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood had appeared before him. He hurriedly circulated his Internal Energy, desperately resisting, and shouted, "Don't do it, I'm willing to obey your orders!"

Splat!

"Ah!"

Chen Baisha suddenly let out a series of sharp, piercing screams.

His entire body began to shrivel at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a flash, he became a dried corpse.

With a bang, the corpse was thrown into a corner, undeniably dead.

And after absorbing Chen Baisha's blood, Senior Brother Zhang's face suddenly gained a flush of color, as if he had been satisfied. Even the aura emanating from his body suddenly became even stronger.

The remaining gang members were all terrified and quickly retreated.

"The leader is dead!"

"Don't kill me, I'm willing to obey!"

"I'm willing to obey too, spare me..."

"Very good."

Senior Brother Zhang's expression was calm, and he smiled, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. As long as you cooperate obediently, I guarantee none of you will be harmed." Lu Chen, watching from not far away, felt his heart sink. He suddenly whispered, "Senior Sister Su, lend me your saber."

"Saber?"

Su Yingxue reacted, immediately took out the black saber she carried on her back, and handed it to Lu Chen, saying nervously, "Junior Brother Lu, you must be careful. The methods of the Blood Sacrifice Cult are incredibly bizarre. It's said they can draw out a person's blood just through physical contact, and the strength of these two is clearly above Third Rank..."

"I know."

Lu Chen nodded.

He had already experienced that kind of method when he exchanged a palm strike with Senior Brother Zhang just now.

However, he wasn't unprepared.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on the panel before him.

Name: Lu Chen

Cultivation: Third Rank (90%) Cultivation Method: Azure Wave Art (Rudimentary Understanding)

Martial Arts: Four Absolute Martial Arts (Mastered), Grass on Flying (Proficient), Tidal Wave Saber Technique (Beginner)

Talents: Convince with Virtue, Bronze Skin Iron Bones

Merit Points: 210

He currently had 210 Merit Points left, but it would cost 250 points to upgrade the Azure Wave Art.

He was still 40 points short.

Assuming each person provided 5 points, he would need to kill 8 more people.

However, with these two members of the Blood Sacrifice Cult right in front of him, he doubted he would get the chance to kill anyone else.

Since that was the case!

Lu Chen silently recited in his heart.

"Merit Points, upgrade Tidal Wave Saber Technique!" Whoosh!

The Merit Points before him rapidly disappeared.

[You have consumed 140 Merit Points. Tidal Wave Saber Technique has reached the Mastered realm!]

A new line of text appeared.

At the same time, countless pieces of information flashed through his mind, densely packed, merging with his neural pathways as if he had practiced for over a decade in an instant.

All sorts of techniques for holding and using a saber became clear to him.

Even his entire palm instantly developed many calluses.

His entire aura also changed.

It was as if a normal martial artist had suddenly transformed into an invisible, ferocious saber, his aura sharp and radiating with edge. It even seemed as though wisps of saber energy emanated from his pores, making a hissing sound.

[Your Tidal Wave Saber Technique has reached Mastered, deriving secret skill: Lone Boat Slashes the Moon!][Lone Boat Slashes the Moon: Your saber technique has returned to its natural state, abandoning all tidal wave techniques. It can unleash a seemingly ordinary saber light, yet it possesses immense power, making it impossible to dodge!]

Boom!

Layers of invisible aura continuously emanated from Lu Chen's body.

In an instant, Lu Chen's body seemed to become infinitely tall and vast.

His eyes were like light, and his saber energy pierced the sky.

Name: Lu Chen

Cultivation: Third Rank (98%)

Cultivation Method: Azure Wave Art (Rudimentary Understanding)

Martial Arts: Four Absolute Martial Arts (Mastered), Grass on Flying (Proficient), Tidal Wave Saber Technique (Mastered · Lone Boat Slashes the Moon)

Talents: Convince with Virtue, Bronze Skin Iron Bones

Merit Points: 70

"Huh?"

Not only Su Yingxue, but even Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Mei, a man and a woman, couldn't help but look at Lu Chen with startled eyes.

They felt that in an instant, an invisible change had occurred within Lu Chen, and his entire aura had become completely different.

The current Lu Chen gave them a feeling.

It was as if he had directly transformed into a heavenly saber soaring into the sky!

"This..."

Su Yingxue was completely shocked, looking at Lu Chen in disbelief.

"You truly have secrets!"

Senior Sister Mei's eyes shone brightly as she stared at Lu Chen, revealing a smile. "Now I'm even more eager to know what secrets you have!"

"Indeed, to undergo such a change in such a short time is truly delightful," Senior Brother Lu also said, his eyes burning as he looked at Lu Chen as if he were a treasure.

"You want to know my secret?"

Lu Chen's voice was indifferent, his eyes flashing with saber light. "Come here and take one of my strikes!"

"Courting death."

Senior Brother Zhang sneered. "You think you're the only one with secrets?"

Puff, puff, puff, puff...

Suddenly, he attacked with extreme speed, as fast as lightning. He grabbed a core member of the Giant Shark Gang beside him and, amidst their terrified screams, hurled their bodies towards Lu Chen like cannonballs.

A cold light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes. His black long saber was instantly unsheathed, like a bolt of lightning.

Boom, boom, boom, boom... In an instant, all the Giant Shark Gang members who were thrown over exploded, meeting a tragic end.

Large amounts of blood, internal organs, and scattered limbs flew everywhere.
