Wang Hao's ruthlessness could terrify the remaining forces in the border martial arts world. After all, Human Butcher out in half.
They even started packing their belongings and preparing to flee.
There was nothing they could do; a Human Butcher gods had come to their territory, and who knew when his blade would fall on their own?
Although it's a pity to give up everything like this, it's better than losing your life.
Fortunately, Wang Hao had anticipated this and had many copies of the evidence collected by Xie Feng made and distributed them, which slightly calmed the hearts of the remaining forces that were on the verge of collapse.
Then, Xie Feng sent people to visit these forces one by one, firstly to warn and appease them, and secondly to discuss the exchange of martial arts manuals.
This massacre has also exhausted Wang Hao. He doesn't want to go out and wander around for a while and just wants to rest for a few days. After all, physical fatigue and Innate Qi are relatively easy to recover from, but the depletion of Acquired Divine Sense is not so simple.
Moreover, this intense battle caused the suppressed, strange sword energy within his body to become turbulent, making the situation quite troublesome.
He'll need at least two weeks to recover to his full potential, so it's best for him not to go out and have fun in this condition.
Furthermore, the number of people killed this time was indeed too high; it might just bring out some powerful figures who have been living in seclusion for many years.
Most importantly, he didn't believe that those forces colluding with the nomadic tribes of the grasslands to sell military supplies were unsupported; they could be backed by people in the imperial court or by a powerful martial arts force.
It's conceivable that after receiving detailed information, these forces will retaliate, so he needs to recover as quickly as possible.
Only one's own strength is the most solid guarantee!
As for those forces that hadn't committed any major offenses, Wang Hao instructed Xie Feng to let them deal with their own members who had behaved improperly, and then offered them a bait that they couldn't refuse.
The Mad Saber Sect is First-Rate top-tier force in the border martial arts world, only one level below the Mount Heng Sword Sect, but Wang Hao's killing spree still terrified them.
At this moment, Tie Kuangtu, the current sect leader of the Mad Saber Sect, stood anxiously in his study, while the others standing in the study also looked worried and apprehensive.
"Father, do you think what that Human Butcher said is true?"
After a long silence, Tie Kuangtu turned his gaze to his father, Tie Zhan, who was sitting in the main seat and was also the previous sect leader of the Mad Saber Sect.
The others in the study also turned their gazes, wanting to hear Tie Zhan's opinion.
This morning, just as they were frantically preparing to move away from the border martial arts world, a Beggars' Sect disciple delivered a letter, the contents of which made them hesitate.
The letter briefly outlined the reasons for eliminating those forces, which put their minds at ease.
As a major force in the border martial arts world, they naturally knew the details of other forces here very well, and understood that those forces that had been wiped out were all colluding with the nomadic tribes of the grasslands, and all had reasons to be killed; none of them were innocent.
Although the Mad Saber Sect's background isn't exactly clean, they haven't caused any deaths, nor have they colluded with any nomadic tribes from the grasslands, so they shouldn't be targeted by the other side for the time being.
However, that wasn't the main point; what concerned them more was the information on the second half of the envelope.
The other party actually invited them to a grand martial arts gathering, and explicitly stated that as long as they brought out a martial arts manual, they could copy ten copies of the same level of martial arts.
This is fantastic news!
No one doubted the sheer quantity of martial arts manuals the enemy possessed; after all, they had wiped out over 80% of the martial arts forces on the border, and the amount of martial arts texts they had seized was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Although the other party might be after their martial arts manuals, exchanging one for ten would still be a huge profit for them.
However, this windfall was too good to be true, and they feared it might be a trap.
What's the panic?
Tie Zhan, who had been deep in thought with his eyes closed, opened them and glared at his sons with a look of disappointment. He said in a deep voice, "That Human Butcher is incredibly powerful. He wiped out the Vicious Wolf Gang, which is in the same city as us. If he really wanted to attack us, why would he deliberately bypass us?"
Therefore, we must attend this grand event, and we must bring all the martial arts manuals we have collected from our secret vault, including our Mad Saber Saber Technique. This opportunity is not to be missed. Furthermore..."
At this point, Tie Zhan glanced coldly at his eldest son Tie Kuangtu, and said in a cold voice, "Take all the maids that Cheng'er snatched back as concubines, and send the betrothal gifts to the girls' families."
"And all of you, or your juniors and subordinates, should go back and make amends for the foolish things you've done. If you really can't make amends, then send yourselves to the authorities for processing. Otherwise, if that Human Butcher takes notice of you, don't blame your father for being ruthless and crippling you before sending you there."
Judging from the trajectory of the massacre, he could clearly sense that the Human Butcher was a person who hated evil as if it were his enemy, and all forces that colluded with the nomadic tribes of the grasslands were slaughtered.
Although the Mad Saber Sect is considered Taoist School and once assisted the imperial army in resisting the invasion of nomadic tribes from the grasslands, as a large organization grows, some spoiled brats inevitably emerge and do some slightly excessive things.
Although it's not very serious, there's no guarantee that the Human Butcher won't overhear it.
If those who had been punished by the Mad Saber Sect went to the Human Butcher to complain and lodge a complaint, they would be in big trouble.
Tie Kuangtu looked embarrassed. He had indeed been too indulgent with his good-for-nothing son. The boy wasn't bad in other aspects, but he was lecherous and Tyrannical Dao. He would snatch any girl he fancied and make her his concubine without giving her any official status.
Fortunately, the kid knew his limits and didn't cause any death, so there was still a chance to make amends.
However, he also decided to teach that kid a lesson later, not expecting him to become a great talent, but just to keep him from causing trouble.
The others in the study nodded silently, while pondering whether they had done anything wrong in the past, lest they be targeted by that Human Butcher.
A similar scene is playing out among many forces. Although they are terrified, they all make the same choice in the face of this temptation.
There's no way around it; for martial arts practitioners, nothing is more attractive than martial arts manuals.
And this time it's a one-for-ten exchange, a huge profit, isn't it? Only a fool wouldn't go!
As for that little risk, it's worth taking. At worst, they can only send a portion of their people to the event, and if things go wrong, the main force can escape in time.
Wang Hao only gave Xie Feng tournament and then ignored it. He focused on recovering his depleted Divine Sense, refining the strange sword energy within his body, and also took the time to use his Divine Sense Object Control Xie Feng had sent him.
There was no other way; the ancients used brushes to write, resulting in very large characters. A book could only hold a few characters, yet it still took up a lot of space.
The martial arts manuals that Xie Feng collected following Wang Hao filled several rooms, making it impossible to discreetly deliver them to Dongfang Bai. Therefore, he had to make copies himself.
Moreover, there's good news: as his Divine Sense Object Control became more and more proficient, the precision of his control improved to another level. This resulted in the fonts he could copy being reduced by ten times, to the point that they were barely visible to the naked eye.
Only those who break through to the Grandmaster level, whose bodies undergo transformation and are enhanced by their internal energy, can barely see clearly.
This results in a smaller file size for the resulting scrolls.
As for why such a grand martial arts gathering was organized, besides wanting to obtain the martial arts manuals from the remaining forces through gentle means, the main purpose was to bolster the overall strength of the martial arts world on the border.
Unlike other places, the border martial arts world faces the nomadic tribes of the grasslands directly. Although most of the forces within it are in league with the nomadic tribes, they still play a role in resisting them to some extent, or at least in deterring them.
If the overall strength of the border martial arts world is allowed to weaken, the nomadic tribes of the grasslands might develop undesirable intentions.
That's why he came up with a plan to exchange one for ten, believing that with a large number of martial arts manuals, the overall strength of the border martial arts world would surely recover quickly, and then he could leave with peace of mind.
Otherwise, it would be bad if the grasslands invaded because of him.
Leaving aside the commotion in the border martial arts world, some big shots and forces in other regions were quite angry upon hearing this news.
After all, the profits from trading with the nomadic tribes of the grasslands are enormous, and those border martial arts forces pay them a considerable share of the profits every year.
How could they not be furious that Wang Hao had slaughtered them all?
What frustrated them even more was that after the massacre, the other party widely disseminated evidence of collusion with foreign races, claiming to be on the moral high ground.
Even some high-ranking officials in the imperial court didn't dare to jump out and retaliate at this time, otherwise they would be infamous for eternity.
Those so-called reputable sects with tainted backgrounds also dared not show their faces, and could only sulk in secret.
However, they can't retaliate openly, but they can do it covertly!
Moreover, this Wuming Human Butcher, known as the Butcher, seemed to have appeared out of thin air. No matter what methods they used, they could not find any clues about his appearance before he appeared. They had never even seen his sword-wielding attack technique before.
This way of appearing reminded them instinctively of the Dugu Jian Sword Saint Dugu Jian who had appeared before; the two situations were just too similar.
In other words, the other party is very likely also from that so-called overseas martial arts world?
They were very curious about the overseas martial arts world, especially those unparalleled martial arts skills. Unfortunately, Dugu Jian mysteriously disappeared, which disappointed them for a long time.
But now, an Wuming has suddenly appeared. Perhaps they can learn more about the overseas martial arts world from him.
Some even speculated that the strange swordsmanship used by the Wuming might be a martial arts secret technique that leads directly to the Shattering Realm —that's quite a temptation!
Moreover, even if it's not a Shattering Realm martial art, it must be at least Celestial Person Realm art.
With this in mind, many reclusive elders emerged from seclusion and secretly traveled to the border martial arts world to prepare to meet the so-called Wuming.
Wang Hao was unaware that the martial world was once again stirred by him, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. After a period of arduous training, his Supreme Yoga Tantra had broken through again, and at this moment, the longsword controlled by his Human Body Magnetic Field alone was enough to rival Half-step Innate expert.
What's even more frightening is that his progress hasn't stopped. At his current pace of cultivation, it won't be long before he activates his fourth Human Body Magnetic Field.
The practice of Supreme Yoga Tantra involves seven Human Body Magnetic Field, and these fields can amplify each other. Activating each Human Body Magnetic Field greatly enhances one's strength.
The reason he was able to cultivate so quickly was mainly due to his strong physique.
A strong physique will, to some extent, nourish the seven souls, which is mainly reflected in the enhancement and refinement of the strength of the seven souls.
It was precisely this condensation that allowed him to master it so quickly.
Of course, Innate Qi and Divine Sense also play a significant role in this regard.
It's only because Wang Hao has these advantages that others, even the exceptionally talented Long Ling Lama, cannot compare to Wang Hao in terms of the speed of his cultivation in the Supreme Yoga Tantra.
