Tang Sect's Ultimate Skill Acquired with Ease

It was much as Qian Yu had guessed; Jixiang had just broken through to the realm of a Soul Emperor.

"He is a good man, traveling everywhere to practice medicine and save others."

"Must we really lay a hand on him?"

After stepping onto the island and learning a bit about Jixiang, Hu Liena felt a twinge of reluctance.

There was truly no reason for it.

She simply could not fathom why Qian Yu had gone to such great lengths and spent so much time coming here to find someone completely unrelated.

What Hu Liena understood least of all was how Qian Yu could have known all of this.

"Don't tell me, since when did you, Hu Liena, become so kind-hearted?"

"In the Capital of Slaughter, how many soul masters died by your hands?"

"What, after being hoodwinked by Tang San, have you learned her brand of hypocritical theory too?"

Seeing Hu Liena about to have another episode, Qian Yu did not hold back his mockery in the slightest.

Now that he had fully accepted the gifts from Qian Renxue, he possessed the corresponding confidence and truly did not fear Hu Liena killing in a fit of rage.

As for whether using such despicable methods would affect his state of mind and prevent him from advancing further after reaching Title Douluo, Qian Yu considered that a joke.

On the Douluo Continent, where was there any such thing as a "state of mind" on the path of cultivation?

As long as one had enough power, even the greatest bottlenecks could be overcome through accumulation.

Even the state of mind required for godhood trials—weren't those just arbitrarily set by the gods themselves?

They claimed that after reaching level 95 Title Douluo, it would be difficult to break through if one's state of mind did not align with their martial soul.

That was pure nonsense!

If nothing else, one could simply fuse six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone pieces and see if they could break through.

If they still couldn't, it just meant there wasn't enough energy.

Take Yan Shaozhe ten thousand years later; how did he finally break through if not by relying on Huo Yuhao's medicinal pills?

There was no such thing as a "state of mind."

Even if there were, it wouldn't matter.

He was a person who aspired to become a god; gods love the world, not any one individual.

His love was a grand love, a love devoid of emotion, where everything he did was merely to sacrifice a small portion to fulfill the majority.

If all else failed, he could just self-indoctrinate and plant a mental seal on himself.

He refused to believe that any "state of mind" issues would arise.

"It is my fault; I will try my best to adjust my mindset."

After being fiercely rebuked by Qian Yu, Hu Liena actually began to think seriously and apologized to him quite sincerely.

"But the problem is, how are we to deal with him?"

"Not to mention that Jixiang himself is a Soul Emperor, Zi Zhenzhu on this island is a Soul Douluo!"

"It is said that Zi Zhenzhu is very protective of Jixiang."

After apologizing, Hu Liena began to ponder how they should make their move.

She racked her brains but could not think of any way to achieve their goal.

Seeing Hu Liena like this, Qian Yu finally understood why Martial Soul Hall had lost so miserably.

Why even a plan to ambush supply lines could be hailed as a brilliant strategy.

With people like this in Martial Soul Hall, their defeat was well-deserved.

However, he did not belittle Hu Liena this time; being willing to use one's brain was better than not using it at all.

After a long while, seeing Hu Liena still scratching her head, Qian Yu could not help but break the silence and tell her to stop wasting her brain cells.

"Is it that difficult?"

"With the right timing, location, and people, you can achieve your goal by leveraging any one of them."

"When we arrived on the island, the islanders said a powerful storm is coming in a few days. In the face of such a natural disaster, what does a Soul Douluo even amount to?"

"When the storm hits, either you or I can just feign illness. Since Jixiang is so warm-hearted and kind, he will surely come to treat us."

"Once he arrives, we ambush him, knock him out, and stuff him into a Soul Tool capable of storing living things. Then we just act as if nothing happened. Even if we run into some unexpected trouble, we can just change our identities and disguise ourselves again."

"Of course, if you think this plan is too troublesome, we can try a more extreme one: map out the terrain of this island and attempt to sabotage it. When most of the island's people die in the storm, in such chaos, absolutely no one will suspect us, and we can easily do what we need to do."

After hearing what Qian Yu said, Hu Liena was stunned into speechlessness.

Especially looking at Qian Yu's delicate, cute, and porcelain-doll-like face, if she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would never have believed these words came from him.

"Scheming to kill and killing with high-sounding justifications are both still killing. There is no need to give yourself a slogan about 'the sake of the world' or 'the greater good of the people' unless it is necessary for me to do so."

"In that regard, none of you are as good as Tang San."

After saying this, Qian Yu ignored Hu Liena and continued to circulate his meditation technique to cultivate.

As the god-level spirit bone fused with his divine power, Qian Yu could clearly feel that both his mental strength and his physique were improving rapidly with each passing day.

Perhaps, his Angel Martial Soul's first spirit ring could challenge one around thirty thousand years.

Hu Liena pondered alone for a very long time; whatever internal journey she had experienced, she finally came to terms with it.

Unbeknownst to her, her long-stagnant spirit power had quietly broken through, advancing further to reach level 76.

For the next few days, both of them cultivated diligently, quietly waiting for the right moment.

Fortunately, they did not have to wait too long; seven days later, the storm arrived as scheduled.

Qian Yu chose not to participate in the ambush against Jixiang. Furthermore, before the planned operation began, he specifically kept his distance from Hu Liena.

This was naturally a precaution.

Jixiang bore the Sea God's Mark bestowed upon him by Tang San; who knew what kind of contingency plans might be in place.

If any accidents truly occurred, letting Hu Liena take the hit would suffice.

On Hu Liena's side, she lured Jixiang into the trap with ease.

She did not immediately attack Jixiang, choosing instead to first inspect his Soul Tool.

Soon, Hu Liena found exactly what she wanted from Jixiang's Soul Tool.

This was an entirely unexpected joy.

After a moment of hesitation, Hu Liena placed Jixiang into a Soul Tool capable of storing living creatures, intending to ask Qian Yu later how he wished to dispose of the man.

Confirming that no one had discovered them, Hu Liena found Qian Yu and handed over the book she had obtained from Jixiang's storage Soul Tool.

"Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye, Mysterious Jade Hand... Poison Chapter, Human Acupoint Map, they really are all here."

When he saw that the Mysterious Heaven Skill in the book recorded by Jixiang included the extraordinary meridians, Qian Yu knew this was the authentic Mysterious Heaven Skill, not the abridged version circulated within the Tang Sect.

"Should I kill that Jixiang?"

Seeing that Qian Yu had obtained what he wanted, Hu Liena knew it was time for her to handle the dirty work.

As she spoke these words, she seemed somewhat eager to act.

Qian Yu glanced at Hu Liena in surprise; could it be that he had scolded her too harshly, causing her to shift from one extreme to the other?
