Sword Drawing Technique Reaches the Profound Realm

At this moment, the sword in Bai Ze's hand was moving faster and faster. Veins bulged along his arm, yet he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

As the Sword Drawing Technique grew swifter with every strike, its proficiency gradually increased as well.

Half an hour later,

After sheathing his sword, Bai Ze called up the system interface and saw the words "Sword Drawing Technique Great Accomplishment (96%)." He was quite satisfied.

He muttered to himself, "At this speed, it will take at most three days for the Sword Drawing Technique to reach the Profound Realm."

"However, I've already used up all my Bone Forging Pills. If I want to break through quickly, I can't do without them."

"Besides that, I need even more martial skills to gain more Talent Points."

Clearly, Bai Ze had made plans for himself. Especially at a time like this, he had to seize every moment.

After all, Perfected Bone Refining experts could be considered strong within the Black Tiger Gang, but there were fewer than five Viscera Refining Realm martial artists, not to mention Blood Changing Realm ones.

Though he did not know whether Black Panther had broken through yet, even if he had not, it likely would not take much longer.

Once he broke through, the Black Tiger Gang's true internal chaos would begin.

Besides, there was still one person on the list Black Panther had given him who had not been dealt with. That was also a problem.

Fortunately, the other party had not pressed him, but dragging things out forever was not a solution.

Most importantly, that person was not only the Deputy Hall Master of the War Hall, but also in the Viscera Refining Realm.

So, no matter what, Bai Ze had to hurry and break through.

Night fell.

Bai Ze changed into black night-walking clothes. After putting on a mask, he headed to the Black Market once more.

After entering, he saw the place where pills were traded, just as before. He spent 3,400 taels of silver to purchase eight Bone Forging Pills and two portions of Viscera Forging Powder.

As for martial skills, he did not find anything suitable. More importantly, he did not have enough silver on him.

Just as he walked out of the Black Market, he unexpectedly spotted several figures flash past in the distance before rushing in his direction.

The person being chased in front shouted, "Catch it! Take this and leave first!"

As she spoke, she threw something over. When the people behind her saw it, two of them immediately turned and lunged at Bai Ze.

"Damn it, she has accomplices! You two, hurry up and deal with him. Bring the thing back!"

"You bitch, don't even think about getting away!"

"Kill!"

Although Bai Ze had no desire to involve himself in this sort of murder-and-robbery affair, things had come to this. He could only draw his sword.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The sword in his hand flashed. His Sword Drawing Technique was as fast as lightning, slicing through the throat of the person before him in the blink of an eye, while the other was pierced through the chest.

When the Boss in the distance saw this, his heart trembled with terror. He turned and tried to flee.

But how could Bai Ze give him that chance? With a flash, he rushed forward and sent the man below to keep his brothers company.

The person who had been pursued was also deeply shocked by this sight.

She had never expected three Bone Refining Realm martial artists to be so easily slain by him.

Seeing this, she hurriedly said, "Wait, I didn't do it on purpose!"

"I had no choice either. You can have the things as payment for helping me."

As she spoke, she watched Bai Ze nervously, ready to run at any moment.

After all, those few men had been no match for him. She herself stood even less of a chance.

After hearing her voice, Bai Ze thought for a moment and realized she was the person who had sold him martial skills more than a month ago.

He took several steps forward and calmly asked, "Do you have any other martial skills?"

"No..."

Whoosh!

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Ze's sword instantly slit her throat. Under her disbelieving gaze, she fell unwillingly into a pool of blood.

Even though she was a woman, she had deliberately tried to frame him. Bai Ze would not show the slightest mercy.

He had originally intended to ask whether she possessed other martial skills and let her live a little longer. It seemed he had overthought things.

After all, martial skills were not something one could find everywhere in the Black Market. Perhaps what she had sold him last time was all she had.

Bai Ze quickly searched her body once. He did not linger over her voluptuous figure and swiftly left, returning to his residence.

After closing the door, he opened the bundle they had fought over and placed it on the table.

Under the faint lamplight, Bai Ze clearly saw everything inside.

Looking at the items before him, a trace of excitement rose in Bai Ze's heart. He smiled and muttered, "No wonder those people were chasing her. Other than silver and several ordinary martial skills, there was actually a Body Tempering Pill."

"You should know that Body Tempering Pills are suitable for the entire Houtian Realm. Compared with other targeted pills, their effects are more than three times greater."

"With this, after breaking through to the Viscera Refining Realm, I can reach the middle stage in a short time."

After all, Body Tempering Pills were not only expensive, but exceedingly rare.

Under normal circumstances, they were only used when breaking through the Viscera Refining Realm or upon reaching the Blood Changing Realm, in order to accelerate one's cultivation.

After all, one Body Tempering Pill could buy dozens, even over a hundred, ordinary Body Tempering Pills. You could not even purchase one in Changqing County.

Besides that, among the martial skills was a copy of Lightning Step, a high-grade Houtian Martial Skill. It was also extremely rare.

In Changqing County, Bai Ze had never heard of anyone possessing martial skills or pills of this grade. He had no idea where she had acquired them.

But no matter what, they all belonged to Bai Ze now.

Over the following period, aside from necessary missions, Bai Ze devoted himself to cultivation, striving to break through to the Viscera Refining Realm as soon as possible.

Half a month later,

Throughout Changqing Town, under the County Magistrate's mediation, the Black Tiger Gang and the Ten Thousand Blades Sect appeared calm on the surface, but beneath it, turbulent waves were already surging.

Though minor clashes had never ceased, no large-scale battle had taken place.

It was as though they lacked only a fuse; at any moment, everything could explode completely.

In the courtyard, Bai Ze sheathed the sword in his hand.

With a thought, his mind stirred.

A translucent system interface appeared before him.

[Martial God System]

[Host: Bai Ze]

[Age: 15/73]

[Talent: Intelligent Talent (200/500)]

[Realm: Viscera Refining Realm, middle stage]

[Cultivation Method: None]

[Martial Skills: Sword Drawing Technique Profound Realm (3%), Seven Wind Chasing Swords Perfection Realm (46%), Lightning Step Minor Accomplishment (73%), Breath Concealing Technique Perfection Realm (7%), Mad Bull Body Tempering Fist Perfection Realm (21%)...]

[Talent Points: 94]

It could be said that during this period, after Bai Ze broke through to the initial stage of the Viscera Refining Realm, he had not publicized it.

Instead, after using Viscera Forging Powder and the Body Tempering Pill, he broke through once again to the middle stage of the Viscera Refining Realm.

Though he had only just broken through, his strength had increased by at least three times compared to the initial stage.

With the Profound Realm Sword Drawing Technique and the Perfection Realm Seven Wind Chasing Swords, even if he was no match for a Perfected Viscera Refining martial artist, he should still be able to contend against one.

He might even be able to kill one if he caught them off guard.

Of course, he had never fought a true Perfected Viscera Refining martial artist, but reality should not differ too greatly from what he imagined.

Over the next few days, Bai Ze did not hurry to report his situation to Black Panther. Instead, he cultivated the Breath Concealing Technique to the Perfection Realm.

This concealed his middle-stage Viscera Refining Realm cultivation, making him appear to be only at the initial stage.

As long as a martial artist was not more than one major realm above Bai Ze, they would be completely unable to see through him under the Perfection Realm Breath Concealing Technique.

In other words, only someone at least at the late Blood Changing Realm or above could discern his true cultivation.

After all, breaking through from Perfected Bone Refining to the middle stage of the Viscera Refining Realm so quickly would definitely draw the attention of many people and create even more unnecessary trouble.

Just as Bai Ze was cultivating martial skills at his residence, intending to train the Seven Wind Chasing Swords to the Profound Realm,

Black Panther led Scarred Leopard, Zhao Peng, and several others through the door from outside.

He laughed heartily. "Not bad. This Seven Wind Chasing Swords technique is a Hurricane and Rainstorm at times, and Gentle Breeze Comes at others. I'm afraid it has already reached Great Accomplishment."

"Little White, I was right about you. With this swordsmanship and your current Viscera Refining Realm strength, you can make a name for yourself throughout Changqing County."

"Brother Leopard,"
