Saber Test at the Town Suppression Bureau!

Chapter Thirty-One: A Saber Test for the Town Suppression Bureau!

In the distance.

Deep within the dense forest, Lu Chen had no idea he had ascended the Kirin Ranking.

Nor did he know the extent of the sensation his actions had caused.

He continued to flee into the distance.

Living rough, he chose only small paths to travel.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

At this moment, he finally stopped in a dense forest.

"Once I cross the mountain ahead, I should be completely out of Panshi City's territory."

He looked into the distance, suddenly feeling an unbearable thirst. He immediately flickered his body, landing before a stream. The stream water was clear, flowing with a gurgling sound.

Lu Chen squatted down, cupped a handful of stream water, and drank it.

He saw several lively fish swimming in the stream.

He cut a few wooden sticks from the side, held them, and directly speared at the fish.

Puchi!

Four plump fish were speared out by him.

Lu Chen immediately darted out, chose a dry spot, and began to build a fire, placing the fish on it.

While roasting the fish, he looked at the panel before him.

Name: Lu Chen
Cultivation: Fourth Rank (84%)
Cultivation Method: Azure Wave Art (Great Accomplishment)
Martial Arts: Four Absolute Martial Arts (Perfection), Grass on Flying (Great Accomplishment), Tidal Wave Saber Technique (Perfection · Lone Boat Slashes the Moon), Blood Shadow Sword (Perfection · Blood Fiend), Blood Fiend Art (Minor Accomplishment)
Talents: Convince with Virtue, Lightning Law King, Bronze Skin Iron Bones
Merit Points: 394

"394 Merit Points, just enough to upgrade the Azure Wave Art again."

Lu Chen thought to himself.

With a thought, he began to allocate points.

[You have consumed 350 Merit Points. Azure Wave Art has reached the Perfection realm!]

Boom!

The next moment, he felt the Internal Energy within his body instantly become thicker and larger. His meridians were further widened, forming a circulation within his body, continuous and inexhaustible.

It felt like endless waves were rolling within him.

Waves of surging Internal Energy almost burst out from his pores.

His original Fourth-Rank Great Accomplishment cultivation, at this moment, with the Azure Wave Art reaching perfection, finally broke through to the Fifth Rank realm.

Hoo!

Lu Chen slowly exhaled a breath. His Internal Energy circulated, traversing several major cycles within his body before slowly retracting again, his entire aura calming down.

"The Azure Wave Art is perfected so quickly. It seems I need to find a more profound Cultivation Method as soon as possible."

The Azure Wave Art was a Good Grade Cultivation Method.

Even reaching perfection only brought him to Fifth Rank.

To cultivate to a higher realm, he needed to obtain a stronger Cultivation Method.

His gaze fell back to the panel. The remaining Merit Points were 44.

Without hesitation, he immediately allocated all 44 points to Grass on Flying.

[You have consumed 40 Merit Points. Grass on Flying has reached Perfection!]

Swish!

The entire panel changed.

Name: Lu Chen
Cultivation: Fifth Rank (10%)
Cultivation Method: Azure Wave Art (Perfection)
Martial Arts: Four Absolute Martial Arts (Perfection), Grass on Flying (Perfection), Tidal Wave Saber Technique (Perfection · Lone Boat Slashes the Moon), Blood Shadow Sword (Perfection · Blood Fiend), Blood Fiend Art (Minor Accomplishment)

Merit Points: 4

"All my martial arts are perfected, except for the Blood Fiend Art, which is still at minor accomplishment. Powerful!

I'm stronger than ever before.

"However, this wandering life isn't exactly pleasant. Not only is my food and drink too casual, but my mind is also constantly on edge. I need to leave Panshi City's vicinity as soon as possible. Once I get somewhere else and change my name, I'll be a hero again!"

Lu Chen thought to himself.

Soon, all four fish were grilled to perfection.

Just as he was quietly enjoying his meal, his ears twitched. His body flashed rapidly, like a fierce wind.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Just as he dodged, four or five thick arrows instantly shot out, piercing the spot where he had been.

They embedded themselves in his original position.

"Who?"

Lu Chen turned around abruptly. "Well done, Kirin Ranking number ninety-one. You certainly have some skill. No wonder you could kill Lin Mingyuan!"

A cold laugh suddenly rang out.

The forest rustled.

Six or seven figures swiftly emerged from the side of the woods. Each exuded a powerful aura, carried sabers at their waists, and wore black robes. Their eyes, like lightning, fell upon Lu Chen from all directions.

They surrounded Lu Chen tightly.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, scanning the group.

He understood who they were almost without introduction.

Iron plaques hanging from their waists, dressed in dark robes!

Execute first, report later! Imperial decree!

This was the Town Suppression Bureau!

They were the ones who cleared up matters in the martial world for the imperial court!

"You're fast!" Lu Chen's voice was icy, devoid of fear, as he coldly swept his gaze over them.

"Lu Chen, you massacred the County Magistrate and caused chaos, committing multiple capital offenses. Surrender immediately and come with us, and we can consider not implicating others. Otherwise, all your relatives will be affected, and even the [Canglang Martial Hall] you just joined will be destroyed because of you!"

One of the Town Suppression Bureau experts sneered.

"Threatening me?"

Lu Chen's eyes chilled.

"This isn't a threat, it's a fact!"

The Town Suppression Bureau expert's face was grim. "Resisting the imperial court and killing an imperial official is a capital offense. Furthermore, you committed dozens of murders within the city, causing a sensation throughout the land. You're as good as dead anywhere!"

"Then don't you want to know why I killed them? Don't you want to ask about the County Magistrate's true identity?" Lu Chen said.

"There's no 'why.' As long as you kill, you must be brought to justice."

The man's tone was indifferent.

"Why waste words with him? Just take him down!"

"Exactly. This fellow just ascended the Kirin Ranking. It's rare to have someone from the Kirin Ranking to spar with. We can use him to sharpen our blades!"

"Heh heh, a strong individual on the Kirin Ranking. It's usually hard to encounter one!"

The group all grinned sinisterly.

Their gazes, like beams of light, fixed on Lu Chen as if he were prey.

Individuals on the Kirin Ranking might not necessarily have the highest strength.

However, their martial arts potential was undoubtedly immense.

Any martial art, in their hands, would often unleash power far exceeding that of their peers. Their understanding and comprehension of martial arts were far beyond ordinary people.

Using such a master to hone oneself would undoubtedly bring great benefits.

"Kirin Ranking?"

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He had caught a keyword.

He seemed to have never heard of it before.

"You want to know? Don't worry, we'll tell you after we capture you!"

The leader stared at Lu Chen, a sinister smile on his face. "Attack!"

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The seven Town Suppression Bureau experts lunged forward almost immediately.

Each of them unleashed their aura, drawing their sabers. Brilliant light flashed from their bodies as they pressed down on Lu Chen.

In addition to the powerful strength of each member, the Town Suppression Bureau was also proficient in battle formations.

The seven formed a formation.

Once a formation was established, they could contend with dozens of people of the same rank.

Even if facing someone a major realm higher, once surrounded by them, they would be worn down and killed.

However!

The moment they attacked, a cold glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes. His hand had already gripped the scabbard at his waist, and his entire aura changed drastically, as if he had instantly transformed into a supreme great saber that slaughters the world!

Clang!

The sound was piercing, the saber's hum vibrating.

A dazzling, brilliant beam instantly swept across.

With speed and in a manner incomprehensible to ordinary people, carrying terrifying and peerless might, it instantly collided with the seven before him.

Boom!

An explosion sounded, as if the heavens and earth were splitting. The ground in all directions trembled violently.

As if swept by saber energy, countless small stones and fallen leaves shot out in all directions.

Pfft!

The seven experts from the Town Suppression Bureau immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, revealing a look of horror. Their bodies flew backward in unison, landing far away, almost falling to the ground.

Each of them felt their palms and fingers go numb, their Blood Essence surging, and their meridians throbbing with pain.

How is this possible?

Lu Chen is actually this powerful!

The might of one saber could contend with their [Big Dipper Seven Stars Array]!

Little did they know, Lu Chen also frowned.

He hadn't expected the combined power of these seven to be so formidable.

They could actually withstand one of his saber strikes without dying? He had used [Lone Boat Slashes the Moon] for this strike, which should have been enough to cut them down in one go.
