Chapter 22: One Saber Kill!
To be precise.
Lu Chen didn't detonate all of them.
The moment he grabbed and threw these people, he had already tampered with them.
The cultivation technique practiced by the Blood Sacrifice Cult is extremely bizarre, requiring them to constantly absorb human blood to cultivate Blood Toxin within their bodies. This Blood Toxin is terrifyingly potent; a mere injection into a person can instantly kill them.
More crucially, he could control the Blood Toxin, detonating the opponent's body at any moment.
Therefore, the instant he grabbed each core member of the Giant Shark Gang, he had already injected them with Blood Toxin, and upon throwing them, he instantly detonated their bodies.
Thus, most of these people weren't killed by Lu Chen. Only a few who were resilient enough died by Lu Chen's saber.
The rest were all killed by the Blood Toxin.
They didn't provide much Merit Points to Lu Chen.
And the moment they self-detonated, their poisonous blood rained down densely, like a torrential downpour, shooting towards Lu Chen.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's black saber instantly began to spin.
It formed a black vortex right before his eyes.
The poisonous blood filling the sky was all blocked outside this black vortex.
Nothing could penetrate it!
Senior Brother Zhang continued to sneer, rapidly throwing more core members of the Giant Shark Gang. The remaining members of the Giant Shark Gang, in panic, turned and fled.
"Hurry and go!"
"Run for your lives..." Senior Sister Mei also let out a strange laugh, quickly darting over. She began grabbing members of the Giant Shark Gang one by one, throwing them towards Lu Chen to detonate.
However, Lu Chen was having none of it.
As they kept throwing bodies, he had already grabbed Su Yingxue and thrown her far away, transmitting his voice: "You go first, leave this place!"
He leaped up and charged directly towards Captain Guo and the group of constables.
Since they dared to play like this, he had no reservations.
Let these constables become his Merit Points.
Seeing Lu Chen suddenly pounce, Guo Feng's expression changed, and he quickly shouted, "Stop him!"
As soon as he spoke, his own body retreated rapidly.
He wished he could escape this place immediately.
Clang! Just then.
Lu Chen's saber light flashed instantly, like a sun rising. The saber light was brilliant and incredibly swift, blinding people's eyes. On one hand, it rapidly blocked the numerous corpses being thrown by Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Mei. On the other hand, it swept through the group of constables. The saber light was dense, like a tornado of saber energy, unbelievably fast.
Puff puff puff puff...
"Ah!"
Heads flew.
Blood splattered.
The headless corpses fell backward.
Even Guo Feng's hair stood on end, feeling an incredibly terrifying aura lock onto his body. It was as if he had instantly been placed in an ocean of saber light.
Above and below, there was only brilliant and dazzling saber light.
He had no way to block or evade. "Lord Zhang, Lord Mei, save me quickly!"
Guo Feng cried out in terror.
This was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying saber technique!
It made him feel as if his body could explode at any moment.
Even Su Yingxue, who had just been thrown by Lu Chen, couldn't help but show surprise. She looked back again, her face filled with disbelief.
"Tidal Wave Saber Technique... This is the Tidal Wave Saber Technique!"
How could this be possible?
Boom boom boom boom!
During this process, Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Mei continued to throw more corpses filled with potent poison, detonating them one after another.
The exploding blood rain had already soaked the entire ground.
The ground was covered everywhere with poisonous blood and poisonous mist.
Slash! Suddenly, a saber light flashed, and scarlet blood shot out.
Guo Feng's face was filled with terror. He frantically clutched his neck with both hands, trying to stop the bleeding, but it was useless. Thick, viscous blood continuously poured from his neck...
His heart was filled with dread as he felt his strength rapidly draining away. A heavy dizziness began to spread through his mind.
"I'm going to die... I have so many regrets..."
Plop!
A perfectly good head was severed from its neck in an instant.
The headless corpse lay sprawled on its back, staring at the sky.

Lu Chen's body stopped once more.
Opposite him.
Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Mei finally stopped as well, their faces full of smiles.
"Good, good, good! This area is finally quiet. Now no one can disturb us. Lu Chen, you're surrounded by poisonous blood. Let's see what you can do now!"
Senior Brother Zhang clapped his hands repeatedly, a wide, satisfied smile on his face.
Around Lu Chen, the ground was covered in poisonous blood and corpses.
Drops of poisonous blood emitted a pungent odor, filling almost every corner around Lu Chen.
Yet, not a single drop of blood stained Lu Chen's body.
He held his precious saber, his face as cold as ice. Standing like an unyielding iron tower, he stared at the two before him and said coldly, "Why would I need to move to deal with you?"
"You dare to boast even when death is upon you!"
Senior Sister Mei sneered, "I'll capture your little lover first. Let's see what other tricks you have!"
Whoosh!
Her body moved swiftly, wreathed in a bloody mist, heading straight for Su Yingxue in the distance.
Su Yingxue's pretty face instantly paled. Realizing the danger, she quickly turned to flee.
These two fiends actually intended to use her to threaten Lu Chen.
But just then!
A piercing sound rang out, like the most beautiful melody in the world, drawing people to turn and look involuntarily.
It was as if it could pull one's soul and consciousness entirely.
Not only Su Yingxue, but even Senior Sister Mei was startled and instinctively turned her head. She saw a brilliant white light erupt from Lu Chen's position, shooting towards the sky like a divine beacon from a lone boat in the vast ocean, aiming for the bright moon above.
"So beautiful... so bright..."
Senior Sister Mei's expression was dazed, her mind roaring.
It seemed her entire focus was captivated by this brilliant light.
She had almost forgotten to resist.
"Junior Sister, quickly dodge!"
Senior Brother Zhang's eyes widened as he shouted, "Quick, dodge!"
His voice finally startled Senior Sister Mei. Realizing her predicament, she let out a sharp cry and hurriedly tried to evade.
But only then did she realize her body felt light, as if her weight had been halved.
A glance down revealed a bloody, mangled half-body falling from mid-air, crashing heavily onto the ground.
That half-body looked so familiar.
In her panic, she immediately looked towards her lower body and her face contorted in terror.
The part of her body below her waist had completely vanished.
Viscous blood spurted out wildly, and a large amount of internal organs tumbled down...
She had been cut in half with a single saber strike!
"Ah!"
Senior Sister Mei finally screamed. Her upper half also crashed heavily onto the ground. After a few struggles, she died completely.

"Lone Boat Slashes the Moon... This is a secret technique that can only appear when Tidal Wave Saber Technique reaches perfection... Lone Boat Slashes the Moon?" Su Yingxue's mind roared.
Was Lu Chen even human?
Could he be human?
How long had he been learning Tidal Wave Saber Technique?
And he had already mastered it to perfection?
