God of Slaughter's Blade Slash Perfection!

Even the surrounding Imperial Guards showed looks of sympathy, as crippling a martial artist's dantian was worse than death.

Captain Li hesitated and looked at Commander Feng. Seeing Commander Feng nod slightly, he braced himself and stepped forward.

"What are you all standing around for? Follow Officer Su's orders."

Su Fei looked at the hesitant Imperial Guards and explained.

"There's another ringleader hidden in here. If we don't do this, he'll never reveal himself."

Some Imperial Guards felt it was unnecessary and too troublesome, but after hearing Su Fei's explanation, they began to carry out his orders.

And so.

The Imperial Guards began their work.

The first White Lotus Cultist screamed as his dantian was crippled, and he collapsed to the ground.

After crippling seven or eight more in this manner.

A figure suddenly erupted from among the White Lotus Cultists, a gray radiance flaring around him. A white lotus condensed from True Qi even appeared beneath his feet, and he shot away like an arrow loosed from a bow.

His speed was so great that it stirred up a gale, tearing through the very air and causing faint sonic booms.

"What incredible speed."

Commander Feng's pupils constricted. This speed was actually a few points faster than his own.

Just then, Su Fei's figure flickered, his Floating Light Shadowy Movement Skill pushed to its absolute limit.

He transformed into an afterimage, and in mere moments, he caught up and appeared behind the fleeing figure.

"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving. Stay here for me."

Su Fei unleashed Dragon Appears in the Field with a palm strike, a golden dragon soaring out and aiming directly for the man's back.

The figure, hearing Su Fei's words, hastily turned to condense his Xiantian to block, but was sent reeling by the golden dragon's palm force, his Qi and Blood churning.

The illusory white lotus beneath his feet dissipated, and the man fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The Imperial Guards swarmed forward and apprehended the man.

Only then did everyone see clearly that this person was a man who looked to be in his thirties. Although he wore the attire of an ordinary cultist, there was an arrogance in his demeanor that didn't match his status.

Commander Feng recognized his lightness skill.

"You're using the White Lotus Moon-Treading Steps. It's said that only true disciples of the White Lotus Sect can cultivate the White Lotus Moon-Treading Steps. Judging by your cultivation, you've only recently entered the Grandmaster Realm. Your speed in fleeing relies entirely on this lightness skill."

The surrounding Imperial Guards were all shocked. No one had expected that such a significant figure would be hidden in what seemed to be an ordinary outpost.

"A true disciple of the White Lotus Sect! This is a big shot."

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

"I doubted Officer Su before, but now I realize I shouldn't have."

"Me too. I, Yang Wei, have decided. From now on, I will only obey Officer Su. I will support any decision Officer Su makes."

Su Fei walked up to the arrogant man, completely ignoring his venomous glare.

"Kid, you hid yourself well enough. Unfortunately, you still couldn't resist."

The man gritted his teeth.

"Imperial Guard Hundred Households Officer, is it? You dare to arrest me? I am a true disciple of the White Lotus Sect, with a noble status. If our White Lotus Sect Master learns of this, he will absolutely not let you off."

Su Fei chuckled.

"Oh, I'm so scared. The White Lotus Sect Master, you say? If you have the guts, have him come find me now. If you can't, please shut up."

After binding the man tightly with chains, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of eradicating the White Lotus Sect outpost personnel. Reward obtained: God of Slaughter's Blade Slash, a hundred years of cultivation. Do you wish to extract it now?]

The reward was obtained and could be extracted at any time. This felt great.

Su Fei glanced at the arrogant man, who was securely bound by chains, and casually ordered.

"Take him back to the Thousand Households Office's Heavenly Prison. Keep him under strict guard and interrogate him."

"Yes!"

The Imperial Guards nearby quickly responded, directing their subordinates to escort the man away.

The man was still struggling and cursing.

Commander Feng walked up, patted Su Fei on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.

"You kid, you always manage to surprise people. You even managed to uncover a true disciple of the White Lotus Sect. I am truly inferior to your insight and methods."

Facing his superior's praise, Su Fei smiled faintly.

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

Commander Feng shook his head, his tone serious.

"Luck alone wouldn't have allowed you to blast Qin Wushang with a single palm. You've made the greatest contribution in this operation to clear out the Lijia Village outpost and capture a true disciple of the White Lotus Sect. After we finish clearing the battlefield, I will report this matter, and you will surely receive ample rewards."

Su Fei nodded, saying no more. He glanced at the remaining White Lotus Cultists in the open space. Seeing that they had lost the will to fight and posed no further threat, he said to Commander Feng.

"Sir, I'll leave this to you. I'm heading back."

"Alright, off you go."

There was no conversation on the way back. By the time he returned to the Su Manor, it was deep into the night.

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

[Extracting reward, obtained God of Slaughter's Blade Slash, a hundred years of cultivation.]

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

God of Slaughter's Blade Slash - Initiation.

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

[Consuming thirty years of cultivation, beginning upgrade of God of Slaughter's Blade Slash...]

[Year 1: You studied day and night, swinging your saber a thousand times daily, feeling the killing intent within the blade technique!]

[Year 5: You practiced the saber by the cold pool sleeplessly, tempering your blade's heart with icy water. Your saber speed gradually increased, each strike carrying a whistling sharpness that could cut falling willow catkins thirty feet away!]

[Year 10: You cultivated God of Slaughter's Blade Slash day and night, integrating the saber moves into actual combat. Your saber light was like lightning, and God of Slaughter's Blade Slash broke through to Minor Accomplishment!]

[Year 20: Through your continuous cultivation, the killing aura was integrated into your blade intent. With a single slash, God of Slaughter's Blade Slash broke through to Major Accomplishment!]

[Year 30: You achieved complete understanding, your saber moved with your heart, your intent merged with the killing, and with a single slash, accompanied by boundless malevolent energy, metal and stone would shatter and vegetation would turn to ash within ten feet. God of Slaughter's Blade Slash broke through to Perfection!]

[Cultivation result feedback...]

An unparalleled and sharp blade intent erupted from Su Fei's body. He subconsciously gripped the Spring Embroidered Saber on the table. With a soft "hum," the saber's blade actually emitted a faint layer of malevolent energy.

Even without drawing his blade, the air was filled with a heart-palpitating killing aura, as if a single strike could sever all things in the world.

"The God of Slaughter's Blade Slash at Perfection Realm is indeed domineering."

Su Fei released the saber's hilt, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

After achieving Perfection, this God of Slaughter's Blade Slash was no inferior to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

He took a deep breath and issued another command.

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

[Consuming seventy years of cultivation, beginning upgrade of Nine Yang Divine Art...]

[Year 1: You polished your meridians day and night, cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Art ceaselessly!]

[Year 20: You solidified the foundation of Grandmaster Realm Second Layer, and the True Qi within your body was nearing the limit of Grandmaster Realm Second Layer.]

[Year 35: You successfully broke through to the Grandmaster Realm Third Layer, and your True Qi surged!]

[Year 50: You cultivated diligently day and night, solidifying the foundation of Grandmaster Realm Third Layer!]

[Year 60: You challenged the realm again and finally broke through to Grandmaster Realm Fourth Layer in Year 65. The Nine Yang Divine Art also successfully broke through to the Seventh Layer!]
