To be precise,
not all of these people had been blown apart by Lu Chen.
The moment Senior Brother Lu grabbed and threw them out, he had already tampered with their bodies.
The cultivation technique practiced by the Blood Sacrifice Cult was exceedingly bizarre. They needed to regularly absorb human blood and cultivate Blood Toxin within their bodies. This Blood Toxin was terrifyingly potent; once injected into a human body, it could poison someone to death in the blink of an eye.
More importantly, they could control the Blood Toxin and detonate their opponents' bodies at any time.
Thus, the instant he seized those Giant Shark Gang core members, he had already injected Blood Toxin into their bodies. After throwing them out, he immediately detonated them.
Therefore, most of these people had not been killed by Lu Chen. Only a few with particularly tenacious vitality had died beneath Lu Chen's saber.
The rest had all been poisoned to death by the Blood Toxin.
They had barely provided Lu Chen with any Merit Points.
And at the instant they exploded, the poisoned blood on their bodies shot densely toward Lu Chen like a torrential downpour.
Seeing this, the Black Saber in Lu Chen's hand spun in an instant.
A black vortex formed directly before him.
The poisonous blood filling the sky was completely blocked outside the black vortex.
Not even water could seep through!
Senior Brother Zhang kept grinning viciously as he rapidly hurled out Giant Shark Gang core members one after another. The remaining Giant Shark Gang core members panicked and hurriedly turned to flee.
"Run!"
"Save yourselves..." Senior Sister Mei gave a strange laugh as well and swiftly darted over. She began grabbing Giant Shark Gang core members one by one, flinging them toward Lu Chen to detonate them.
Yet Lu Chen had no intention of indulging them.
While they kept throwing people over, he had already grabbed Su Yingxue and hurled her far away, sending her a message through sound transmission. "Leave first. Get out of here!"
With a leap, he charged straight at Constable Guo and the group of yamen constables.
Since they dared play this game, he had nothing left to fear.
Let these yamen people become his Merit Points.
Seeing Lu Chen suddenly pounce toward them, Guo Feng's expression changed. He hurriedly shouted, "Stop him!"
Before his words had even fallen, he was already retreating wildly.
He only wished he could escape this place at once.
Clang! At that moment,
the saber light on Lu Chen's side suddenly flared up, like a rising sun. The dazzling saber light was incomparably swift, so blinding that people could not open their eyes. On one hand, he rapidly resisted the many corpses hurled over by Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Mei; on the other, he swept through the constables. The saber light was dense, like a tornado of saber qi, unimaginably fast.
Puff puff puff puff...
"Ah!"
Heads flew into the air one after another.
Blood splashed everywhere.
Headless corpses were sent flying back.
Even Guo Feng's hairs stood on end. He felt an incomparably terrifying aura lock onto his body in an instant, as though he had suddenly been cast into an ocean of saber light.
Above and below, all was dazzling, eye-piercing saber light.
He could neither block it nor evade it. "Lord Zhang, Lord Mei, save me!"
Guo Feng cried out in terror.
It was the first time he had ever encountered such a horrifying saber technique!
It made him feel as though his body could explode at any moment.
Even Su Yingxue, whom Lu Chen had just thrown out, revealed a shocked expression as she turned back again, her face filled with the look of someone who had seen a ghost.
"The Tidal Wave Saber Technique... This is the Tidal Wave Saber Technique!"
How was this possible?
Boom boom boom boom!
Throughout this, Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Mei continued hurling over corpse after corpse filled with deadly poison, detonating them one after another.
The exploding rain of blood had already soaked the entire ground.
The ground was covered everywhere in poisonous blood and poisonous mist.
Slash! Suddenly, saber light flashed, and scarlet blood sprayed out in an instant.
Guo Feng's face was filled with terror. He hurriedly clamped both hands over his neck, trying to stop the bleeding, but it was useless. Sheets of thick, sticky blood continued to spill from his neck...
He was consumed with panic as he felt the strength throughout his body rapidly draining away, while intense dizziness flooded his mind.
"I'm going to die... I regret this so much..."
Thud!
A fine head rolled from his neck in an instant.
The headless corpse fell backward onto the ground.
[You killed an utterly wicked constable. Merit Points +100] [You killed a petty constable who bullied others by relying on power. Merit Points +5] [Merit Points +5] [+5]...
Line after line of text continued appearing.
Lu Chen came to a stop once more.
Opposite him,
Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Mei finally stopped as well, smiles spread across their faces.
"Good, good, good. This area is finally quiet. Now no one can disturb us anymore. Lu Chen, you're surrounded by poisonous blood now. Let's see what ability you still have to move!"
Senior Brother Zhang kept applauding, his face wreathed in smiles, thoroughly delighted.
The ground around Lu Chen was covered everywhere in poisonous blood and corpses.
Drops of poisonous blood gave off a pungent odor, nearly filling every corner around Lu Chen.
Yet not a single drop of blood stained Lu Chen's body.
He held his treasured saber, his face cold as he stood like an iron tower rising into the sky. Staring at the two before him, he said icily, "Why would I need to move to deal with the likes of you?"
"You're at death's door, yet you still dare spout such arrogant nonsense!"
Senior Sister Mei revealed a mocking smile. "I'll capture that little sweetheart of yours first. Let's see what tricks you still have!"
Whoosh!
Her body moved swiftly, trailing a layer of blood shadow as she lunged toward Su Yingxue in the distance.
Su Yingxue's pretty face immediately went pale. Realizing something was wrong, she hurriedly turned to flee.
These two fiends actually wanted to use her to threaten Lu Chen.
But at that moment!
A piercing sound rang out, like the most wondrous rhythm in the world, making people unable to help turning back to look.
It was as though it would draw in one's soul and consciousness entirely.
Not only Su Yingxue, even Senior Sister Mei was startled in her heart and instinctively turned her head. A snow-white, dazzling radiance shot into the heavens from Lu Chen's side in an instant, like a divine light from a lone boat upon the sea, piercing toward the bright moon high in the sky.
"So beautiful... so bright..."
Senior Sister Mei's face went blank, thunder roaring through her mind.
It seemed all her attention had fallen upon that dazzling radiance.
She had nearly forgotten how to resist.
"Junior Sister, dodge!"
Senior Brother Zhang's eyes widened as he shouted sharply, "Dodge!"
The cry finally jolted Senior Sister Mei awake. Realizing her predicament, she let out a shriek and hurriedly tried to dodge.
But only then did she discover that her body had become light, as though half her weight had vanished all at once.
With a glance, she saw half a bloody, mangled body falling from midair and smashing heavily onto the ground.
That half of the body looked strangely familiar.
In her panic, she immediately looked toward her own lower body, and terror instantly filled her face.
Everything below her waist and abdomen had completely vanished.
Countless streams of thick blood were spraying out wildly, while a large number of internal organs tumbled down...
She had been cut in two at the waist with a single saber strike!
"Ah!"
Senior Sister Mei finally let out a miserable scream. The upper half of her body also slammed heavily onto the ground. After struggling a few times, she died miserably.
[You delivered salvation to a woman who loved blood, helping her successfully quit her blood addiction. Merit Points +120]
Another line of text appeared.
"Lone Boat Slashes the Moon... This is a secret technique that only appears when the Tidal Wave Saber Technique reaches perfection... Lone Boat Slashes the Moon?" Thunder roared through Su Yingxue's mind.
Was Lu Chen still human?
Could this be humanly possible?
How long had he been learning the Tidal Wave Saber Technique?
And he had already cultivated the Tidal Wave Saber Technique to perfection?
