"Venerable Xu! Watch out for Liu Hong's saber!"

Lu Changfeng killed a descendant of the Liu Family with one sword while warning him.

Because Lu Changfeng had seen Liu Hong's talent.

Name: Liu Hong Bone Structure: Grade B Upper Talent: Mid-grade Talent [Saber Art]

This was the second Martial Artist with a mid-grade weapon-related talent Lu Changfeng had encountered.

The previous one had been Li Youtian.

With a mid-grade talent combined with Blood Tempering Realm cultivation at the fifth level, an ordinary Blood Tempering Fifth Level Venerable Xu absolutely could not withstand Liu Hong for long.

Liu Hong had hidden himself deeply enough.

He had not shown the slightest sign of possessing talent in Saber Art before this.

On the other side, after receiving Lu Changfeng's warning, Venerable Xu took twelvefold care when he wielded his cudgel technique.

But the corner of Liu Hong's mouth suddenly lifted. In an instant, the curved saber in his hand abruptly accelerated by thirty percent!

Full Moon Blade Technique!

Dancing Moon!

Venerable Xu was quick-eyed and nimble-handed, blocking the first slash, but felt his tiger's mouth go numb.

The curved saber transformed into a whirling full moon in Liu Hong's hand! This was absolutely a Blood Tempering Realm saber technique at the perfected level!

Clang, clang, clang!

This was too strong!

It was hard to imagine that, aside from raising his Blood Tempering cultivation to the fifth level, Liu Hong—who was only in his early thirties—had also cultivated a saber technique to such a level!

Only those seventy- or eighty-year-old Bone-Forging old monsters had the time to hone such a terrifying martial realm!

Bang!

Liu Hong seized the right moment and slashed his saber toward Venerable Xu's chest.

Relying on his experience, Venerable Xu held his cudgel horizontally before him to block, but his body was still driven back seven or eight meters by the saber's fully charged strike. He spat out a mouthful of blood and had clearly suffered internal injuries.

At this moment, Zhou Feng timely killed the Second Son of Liu and Fourth Son of Liu who needed killing.

Relying on his superior movement technique, Lu Changfeng also struck down the Fifth Son of Liu and the eldest grandson from within the crowd.

Thus, the two of them closed in on Liu Hong from both sides.

Venerable Xu's predicament was temporarily relieved.

"You bunch of dog thieves!!"

Looking at the blood flowing like a river all around him, Liu Hong gnashed his teeth and raised his saber to slash at Venerable Xu.

Zhou Feng raised his saber to block Liu Hong's curved saber. His tiger's mouth went numb, and he realized the level of Liu Hong's Saber Art.

"Be careful. Liu Hong's Saber Art is far too terrifying!" Zhou Feng spoke up, mainly reminding his Junior Brother Lu Changfeng.

Lu Changfeng, however, had known Liu Hong's talent through the interface long ago.

Zhou Feng raised his sword, while Venerable Xu raised his cudgel, and the three of them joined forces to besiege Liu Hong.

Venerable Xu had suffered internal injuries, and the speed and strength of his cudgel technique had dropped considerably.

As for Lu Changfeng, although his cultivation was the lowest,

he had temporarily displayed perfected Sword Art, and the strength and speed he showed were not much inferior to Venerable Xu's.

An occasional dazzling sword strike would even leave Liu Hong scrambling.

Liu Hong faced three enemies alone, yet his momentum did not weaken in the slightest.

He focused on dealing with the already wounded Venerable Xu. Every now and then, a fully charged slash would make Venerable Xu's body shudder and worsen his injuries!

Thus, the four of them battled for more than ten minutes!

During that time, the Liu Family members tried to leave and report the matter, but the surroundings had long since been surrounded by Liu Ye and the Liu Family servants.

Without a Blood Tempering Realm Martial Artist to assist them, the ordinary members of the Liu Family could not stir up any waves at all.

Liu Ye guarded the front courtyard. Whenever a member of the Liu Family emerged from a corner, he would raise his saber and kill them.

Listening to the sounds of battle coming from the central courtyard, he was extremely anxious, hoping his senior and junior brothers would not suffer any mishaps.

If he had not needed to lead the servants in guarding against the Liu Family members escaping, he would have entered the fray long ago.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out from the central courtyard.

Liu Ye could hold back no longer. He ordered his subordinates to keep watch over the gate, then strode into the central courtyard.

He saw three figures standing tall in the central courtyard. They were Lu Changfeng, Zhou Feng, and Venerable Xu, whose face was pale and whose lips were stained with blood.

A man in the middle had had all four limbs severed and lay unconscious on the ground. Liu Ye recognized him as the eldest son of the Liu Family, Liu Hong—the primary target they needed to eliminate this time!

"Wonderful! We did it!" Seeing Liu Hong, Liu Ye could not help exclaiming.

At this moment, Lu Changfeng sheathed the Autumn Water Sword.

Zhou Feng and Venerable Xu, meanwhile, looked at Lu Changfeng with complicated expressions.

The scene returned to half a minute earlier.

Liu Hong had fought three against one, expending enormous amounts of stamina. He grew increasingly frantic to kill Venerable Xu and find a way to break out of the impasse!

In his desperation, Liu Hong revealed an opening!

Lu Changfeng, who had been waiting for this opportunity, no longer hesitated. His aura shook violently, and Fierce Wind Sword Intent erupted!

Fierce Wind Sword Intent enveloped Liu Hong, slowing all of his movements for a moment!

To a certain extent, Fierce Wind Sword Intent could also be considered a form of mental energy!

Lu Changfeng drove his Sword Intent to unleash the Sword Move Fierce Wind Storm!

He struck eight times in a single second!

Liu Hong barely managed to turn and block the first sword. He blocked the second sword, but lacked sufficient strength; the impact shook his organs and left him lightly wounded!

He desperately blocked the third sword, but had already suffered severe injuries!

Liu Hong truly could not block the fourth sword and had his right arm—the one holding the saber—sliced off!

With the fifth sword, Liu Hong's left arm fell away at the shoulder!

The sixth sword severed Liu Hong's left leg! The seventh sword severed his right leg!

With the eighth sword, Lu Changfeng made a slight adjustment to Liu Hong's right arm, severing it at the shoulder just like the left, neatly and evenly aligned!

After the eight swords fell, Liu Hong had been reduced to a Human Truncheon and lay unconscious on the ground.

Zhou Feng and Venerable Xu stood to one side, their mouths agape. Although Lu Changfeng had not directed his Sword Intent at them,

when Lu Changfeng had drawn his sword, the two of them had still felt the biting Sword Intent radiating from him.

If they had been the ones facing it, they probably would not have been able to withstand those terrifying eight swords either.

Had the Junior Brother's Sword Art truly reached such an unheard-of realm? Zhou Feng was deeply shaken.

Before this, he had been thinking of taking especially good care of Lu Changfeng during this operation.

Now, it seemed that it was only thanks to Junior Brother that they had been able to kill Liu Hong so easily.

With his overwhelmingly powerful Sword Art, the Junior Brother's strength had already surpassed his own!

Venerable Xu was also in an extremely complicated mood. Where had Liu Ye found such a freak? He looked so young, yet possessed such a terrifying martial realm!

If he had not guessed wrong, what this young man had just used was Martial Dao True Intent, right?

Or perhaps half-step True Intent?

It was truly terrifying!! This child absolutely must not be offended. They needed to cultivate a good relationship with him!

"Third Senior Brother, sorry for the trouble, but take good care of Liu Hong. At least don't let him die within fifty days." Lu Changfeng made a request.

Naturally, this was because he had his eye on the mid-grade talent [Saber Art] Liu Hong possessed.

"No problem. I won't let him die easily."

Liu Ye did not understand why, but he still nodded and called over some servants to give them instructions. Liu Hong was then sent to the Liu Family's own clinic.

In this fantasy world, there were plenty of ways to keep a Human Truncheon alive.

Seeing Liu Ye agree,

Lu Changfeng then headed to the rear courtyard with Zhou Feng.

That was where the Liu Family produced its Exotic Beast Meat.

Venerable Xu did not follow them. The Exotic Beast Meat recipe belonged to Lu Changfeng and Zhou Feng. The Liu Family must have promised Venerable Xu some other benefit, making him give up the recipe.

The two of them arrived at the rear courtyard and searched for a while.

In the end, Lu Changfeng used his Light Body Skill to leap into the center of the pond.

At the center of the pond stood a Toad Stone Carving over three meters tall.

He gently turned the stone bead inside the toad's mouth, and a downward passage appeared behind the toad.

"As expected, it's here!"

Lu Changfeng called Zhou Feng over, and the two of them followed the entrance downward.
