One Slash Kill! Shocking the Enemy!

Chapter 41: One Slice Kill! Intimidating All Enemies!

Liu Jinglan looked at Lu Chen in shock.

He clearly felt a familiar aura emanating from Lu Chen, as if it came from the same source as his own.

This was... the aura of the Sun Sword Technique?

Had he already mastered the Sun Sword Technique?

This was too fast!

He recalled it took him several months to reach the beginner stage back then.

However, he had no time for questions now and immediately led Lu Chen, galloping towards the distance.

The night was endless. Under Liu Jinglan's guidance, the two approached the village.

It was less of a village and more of a fortified settlement.

Earthen walls surrounded it on all sides, topped with sharp spikes.

There was only one entrance and one exit.

According to Liu Jinglan, everyone in the village was already dead.

Miss Qingqing had been kidnapped and brought here by a group of experts.

Both the Four Fiends of the He Family and the West Mountain Nest of Ghosts were hired by them.

At this moment.

Deep within the settlement, bonfires burned.

Many martial artists gathered around, drinking and playing dice games.

In a dilapidated room.

Cui Qingqing, with tears in her eyes, huddled in a corner, sobbing softly.

The door opened.

A towering figure, like an iron tower, appeared.

His eyes were sharp, emitting a lightning-like glare. He wore a blood-red robe and exuded an invisible pressure. He stood at least nine feet tall.

Holding a plate of food, he said in a hoarse voice, "Miss Cui, please eat something. I deeply admire your father's character. Unfortunately, I owe someone a debt and must serve them. I can only apologize for bringing you here. Rest assured, as long as I, Xue Lie, am here, no one in this settlement will harm you."

Cui Qingqing suddenly looked up, her large eyes filled with tears, slightly red and swollen. "Could you please let me go?"

"No!"

'Blood General' Xue Lie shook his head.

"Then... what about Brother Liu?" Cui Qingqing asked.

"He might be dead."

Xue Lie replied.

Cui Qingqing lowered her head and began to weep again.

Xue Lie said no more, slowly placed the food on the table, retreated, and closed the door.

As soon as he left the courtyard.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.

Xue Lie's body stopped abruptly. He raised his gaze, sharp as lightning, and swept it towards the darkness to the side.

Not far from him, by the corner of the wall.

Two figures had appeared out of nowhere.

They had managed to bypass the village's defenses.

Especially the person in front.

He wore a black robe, had a handsome face, and a long saber at his waist. He exuded an intangible aura, like a heavenly blade about to be unsheathed.

Xue Lie's eyes narrowed slightly as he instantly recognized the person.

"Heartless Blade Lu Chen?"

This man, who had simultaneously appeared on the Kirin Ranking and the Black Ranking, with wanted posters spread across the land, how dared he show himself?

"If you can survive my strike, then I lose."

Lu Chen said coldly.

Liu Jinglan, standing beside him, was secretly alarmed.

This was 'Blood General' Xue Lie.

A cultivator at the Sixth Grade!

Not weaker than the Town Suppression Bureau's Squad Leader Yu Tianli!

He wanted to kill the opponent with one strike?

"One strike?"

Xue Lie seemed to be moved by Lu Chen's words. A sinister smile crept across his lips as he slowly grasped the long saber behind him.

How many years had it been since he last heard such words?

Rumor had it that Lu Chen, the Heartless Blade, had only been cultivating for less than ten days.

He wanted to defeat him after only ten days of cultivation?

"I searched high and low, and now you've appeared right before me. You brought this upon yourself."

Xue Lie's voice was icy as he stared intently at Lu Chen.

Clang!

The long saber behind him was drawn from its sheath, suddenly emitting a brilliant flash.

It was like lightning streaking across the night sky.

This strike was the culmination of his life's cultivation.

Whether it was his saber technique or his internal energy, everything was pushed to its absolute limit. His aura surged, and his spirit, energy, and mind ascended infinitely.

He intended to defeat Lu Chen with overwhelming force, to show Lu Chen that he wasn't the only one who had stumbled upon great fortune. However, as he drew his saber, a light suddenly rose before him.

Not only that, but it instantly created an intangible aura.

It felt like a comet crashing into his heart, causing his heart to churn violently and his mind to shake. He was suddenly seeing an illusion.

Squelch!

Blood splattered as a fine head was instantly severed and rolled to the side.

Xue Lie's long saber hadn't even been fully drawn when his headless corpse collapsed to the ground, thick blood staining the earth.

"You lost."

Lu Chen's voice was cold as he sheathed his saber.

He hadn't even used his saber's momentum.

With just an ordinary strike, he had killed the Blood General.

Hiss!

Liu Jinglan gasped, his heart filled with shock. What a superb saber technique!

Previously, Lu Chen had needed to draw upon the lightning from the heavens to kill the Mid-stage Sixth Rank Yu Tianli.

But now, he could kill the Sixth Rank Blood General without even drawing upon lightning!

Did this mean his strength had improved again?

This was too fast!

Lu Chen glanced at Liu Jinglan beside him and said calmly, "You go rescue them. I'll hold off the others!"

[You have killed a martial arts scoundrel who was kidnapping others. Merit Points +70]!

The Merit Points weren't high.

This indicated that the opponent's wickedness might not have been too profound.

"Yes!"

Liu Jinglan took a deep breath and quickly rushed towards the courtyard ahead.

"Miss Qingqing..."

At this moment, a thick scent of blood wafted through the surroundings, finally drawing the attention of others in the village.

The martial artists guarding the perimeter were startled. They quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed over.

"Something's wrong, I smell blood!"

"Hurry and check!"

"Who is it?"

The people who had been guarding the area quickly converged, looking at Lu Chen, whose aura was like a heavenly blade outside the courtyard, with shock and anger.

Soon, their pupils contracted as they noticed the corpse on the ground. They were all greatly shaken.

"It's the Blood General! The Blood General has been killed!"

"He actually killed the Blood General!"

"Lu Chen, he's the Lu Chen from the wanted poster!" "It really is him!"

Just then, Liu Jinglan emerged from the courtyard behind, pulling Cui Qingqing with him.

"Young Hero Lu..."

Liu Jinglan quickly looked at Lu Chen nervously.

"Anyone who takes a step forward dies!"

Lu Chen's tone was calm as he looked at the crowd.

"You're asking for death!"

"Kid, are you f***ing singing a different tune than us?"

"Die, you motherf***er, let's all go at him together and chop him to pieces!"

The crowd cursed angrily and, as if by prior agreement, lunged forward almost instantly.

"Anyone who takes a step forward dies?"

"Don't you even look at who we are? We're all desperadoes!"

"Who the f*** are you trying to fool?"

However!

Clang!

Suddenly, a flash of blade light, like a terrifying whirlwind, once again created a dreadful aura that seized the soul. In an instant, everyone felt their hearts tremble, as if their vision was playing tricks on them.

Even the weapons in their hands seemed to move uncontrollably.

Puff puff puff puff!

Blood splattered, and heads flew.

It was like a blade energy tornado sweeping through.

In an instant, the remaining people were filled with terror, let out screams, and quickly retreated backward.

The seven or eight people who had rushed forward first were all wiped out with a single strike!

What kind of blade technique is this? It's too terrifying!

Even Liu Jinglan was once again shocked.

His heart was filled with excitement, and his breathing quickened.

Lu Chen's strength had once again exceeded his expectations.

There was hope of escaping today!
