God of Slaughter's Blade Slash Reaches Perfection!

Even the surrounding Imperial Guards showed sympathy. To a martial artist, having one's dantian crippled was more agonizing than death.

Captain Li hesitated as he looked toward Commander Feng. Only after Commander Feng gave a slight nod did he steel himself and step forward.

"What are you standing around for? Carry out Officer Su's orders."

Seeing the hesitant expressions on the Imperial Guards' faces, Su Fei offered an explanation.

"Another ringleader is hiding among them. Unless we do this, he will never reveal himself."

Some of the Imperial Guards felt it was unnecessary and far too troublesome, but after hearing Su Fei's explanation, they still began carrying out his orders.

Thus.

The Imperial Guards began their work.

The first White Lotus Cultist let out a scream. His dantian was crippled, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

After crippling seven or eight people in succession like this.

A figure among the White Lotus Cultists suddenly shot up. Gray radiance blazed around him, and beneath his feet appeared a white lotus condensed from true qi. Like an arrow loosed from the bowstring, he fled through the air.

He was so fast that he whipped up a violent gale, tearing even the air apart with faint explosive cracks.

"What incredible speed."

Commander Feng's pupils contracted. That speed was actually several notches faster than his own.

Just then, Su Fei's figure flickered as he pushed the Floating Light Shadowy Movement Skill to its limits.

He turned into an afterimage and caught up with the man in only a few breaths, appearing behind him.

"Since you came, don't even think about leaving. Stay right there."

Su Fei struck with Dragon Appears in the Field. A golden dragon flew forth, aiming straight for the man's back.

Hearing this, the figure hurriedly turned and gathered innate qi to defend himself, only to have the golden dragon's palm force send his blood and qi churning.

The phantom white lotus beneath his feet shattered, and he fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft."

The Imperial Guards swarmed forward and captured him.

Only then did everyone see clearly that he was a man in his thirties. Though he wore the clothes of an ordinary cultist, there was an arrogance between his brows that did not match his status.

Commander Feng recognized his movement skill.

"You used the White Lotus Moon-Treading Steps. It is said that only true disciples of the White Lotus Sect may cultivate the White Lotus Moon-Treading Steps. Judging by your cultivation, you only entered the Grandmaster Realm not long ago. Your ability to flee through the air at such speed rests entirely on this movement skill."

The surrounding Imperial Guards were all stunned. No one had expected someone of such status to be hidden in this seemingly ordinary stronghold.

"A true disciple of the White Lotus Sect? That's a major figure."

"It was all thanks to Officer Su that we found him."

"I even doubted Officer Su before. Thinking back on it now, I truly shouldn't have."

"Me too. I've made up my mind, Yang Wei will follow Officer Su from now on. Whatever Officer Su decides, I will support it."

Su Fei walked up to the arrogant man and completely ignored his venomous glare.

"Kid, you hid yourself well enough. Too bad you still couldn't hold back."

The man gnashed his teeth.

"You're an Imperial Guard Hundred Households Officer, aren't you? You dare arrest me? I am a true disciple of the White Lotus Sect, of noble status. Once our White Lotus Sect Master learns of this, he will never let you off."

Su Fei gave a chuckle.

"I'm so scared. The White Lotus Sect Master, is it? If you have the ability, tell him to come find me right now. If you can't, then shut your mouth."

Once the man had been tightly bound in chains.

A system notification sounded in his mind.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission to eradicate the White Lotus Sect stronghold. Reward obtained: God of Slaughter's Blade Slash and one hundred years of cultivation. Extract now?

The reward was in hand and could be extracted at any time. Excellent.

Su Fei glanced at the arrogant man, who was bound tight as a dumpling in chains, and casually ordered.

"Take him back to the Heavenly Prison at the Thousand Households Office. Guard him closely and interrogate him."

"Yes!"

The nearby Imperial Guards hurriedly acknowledged the order and directed their subordinates to escort the man away.

The man was still struggling and cursing furiously.

Commander Feng stepped forward, patting Su Fei on the shoulder, his eyes filled with admiration.

"You brat, you always manage to surprise people. You even rooted out a true disciple of the White Lotus Sect. In terms of insight and methods, this old man is ashamed to admit he cannot compare."

Faced with his superior's praise, Su Fei merely smiled.

"You flatter me, sir. I was only lucky."

Commander Feng shook his head, his tone solemn.

"Luck cannot let you blow Qin Wushang apart with one palm. In this operation to wipe out the Lijia Village stronghold, you captured a true disciple of the White Lotus Sect. You deserve the foremost merit. Once we finish clearing the battlefield, I will report this matter. Your rewards will certainly not be lacking."

Su Fei nodded and said nothing more. He looked at the remaining White Lotus Cultists in the open ground. They had lost all will to fight and posed no further threat, so he said to Commander Feng.

"Sir, I'll leave this place to you. I'll head back first."

"Alright, go on."

There was nothing to say along the way. By the time he returned to Su Manor, it was already late at night.

He entered his bedroom, removed the Spring Embroidered Saber from his waist, and casually tossed it onto the table.

Extracting reward. Obtained: God of Slaughter's Blade Slash and one hundred years of cultivation.

The blade techniques of God of Slaughter's Blade Slash entered Su Fei's mind.

God of Slaughter's Blade Slash—Beginner.

"System, consume cultivation to raise God of Slaughter's Blade Slash to the Perfection Realm."

Thirty years of cultivation consumed. Beginning enhancement of God of Slaughter's Blade Slash...

Year One: You studied day and night, swinging your blade a thousand times each day, sensing the killing intent within the blade art.

Year Five: You practiced your blade without sleep or rest beside a frigid pool, tempering your blade heart with icy water. Your blade grew steadily faster, each strike carrying a sharp howl that split the wind, able to sever drifting willow catkins three zhang away!

Year Ten: You cultivated God of Slaughter's Blade Slash day and night without pause, integrating its moves into actual combat. Your blade light flashed like lightning, and God of Slaughter's Blade Slash broke through to Minor Accomplishment!

Year Twenty: Through unceasing practice, killing aura merged into your blade intent. With a single slash, God of Slaughter's Blade Slash broke through to Major Accomplishment!

Year Thirty: You achieved complete mastery. Your blade moved with your heart, your intent merged with slaughter. Once your blade struck, boundless Baleful Intent accompanied it. Within ten zhang, gold and stone shattered alike, while grass and trees turned to ash. God of Slaughter's Blade Slash broke through to Perfection!

Cultivation results are being transmitted...

A peerlessly sharp blade intent erupted from Su Fei's body. He instinctively gripped the Spring Embroidered Saber on the table, and with a soft "hum," a faint layer of Baleful Intent actually spread across the blade.

Even without drawing his saber, the air was filled with a heart-palpitating aura of slaughter, as if a single slash could sever all things beneath heaven.

"God of Slaughter's Blade Slash at the Perfection Realm is indeed tyrannical."

Su Fei released the hilt, satisfaction flashing through his eyes.

Now that God of Slaughter's Blade Slash had reached Perfection, it was no weaker than the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

He took a deep breath and issued another command.

"System, consume the remaining seventy years of cultivation to enhance the Nine Yang Divine Art!"

Seventy years of cultivation consumed. Beginning enhancement of the Nine Yang Divine Art...

Year One: You tempered your meridians day and night, cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Art without pause.

Year Twenty: You solidified the foundation of the Grandmaster Realm Second Layer, and the true essence within your body was on the verge of reaching the limit of the Grandmaster Realm Second Layer.

Year Thirty-Five: You successfully broke through into the Grandmaster Realm Third Layer, and your true essence surged explosively!

Year Fifty: You cultivated bitterly day and night, stabilizing the foundation of the Grandmaster Realm Third Layer!

Year Sixty: You attacked the next realm once more. At last, in Year Sixty-Five, you successfully broke through to the Grandmaster Realm Fourth Layer, while the Nine Yang Divine Art smoothly advanced to the seventh level!

Year Seventy: You stabilized your realm, completely solidifying the Grandmaster Realm Fourth Layer!

Cultivation results are being transmitted...
