Chapter 633 417: The Assassinations That Shook Yan Capital
Rolling Blood Qi swept across the sky!
Qi Haoran knew that it was his mentor Lu Zhengfa's 'Heaven and Earth Furnace Seal', using himself as a furnace to refine Blood Qi, capable of erupting a powerful battle force in an instant.
Bang!
However, he immediately heard a dull sound, like a furnace colliding with a large bell, spreading over several miles.
In the hall at this moment.
As the fists collided in an instant.
"What?"
Lu Zhengfa shouted in horror, seeing that the powerful strike he unleashed in an instant not only failed to push his opponent back, but rather, in the moment of mutual clash, a gray thread of smoke spread from the opponent's fist.
To the naked eye, his arm had transformed into a texture akin to gold stone.
And it quickly penetrated towards his torso.
"Not good!"
Lu Zhengfa shouted, swiftly controlling the blood qi within his body, sweeping across his shoulder and elbow like a great knife.
His decisiveness was extreme, actually abandoning one of his arms in an instant.
Yet, what made him fall into despair and collapse next was...
Even after abandoning his arm, he still could not resist the petrification intent penetrating towards his body.
In just an instant.
His expression froze in a look of horror and fear, standing rigidly as a one-armed stone statue in place.
Meanwhile, Chen Ku simulating the battle technique after Hua Yuexian's duel punch with Zu Dengfeng.
With just a thought, the powerful battle strength after opening the Seven Gates, coupled with Jin Xun's Ninth Realm peak Blood Qi, landed a punch on Lu Zhengfa's head.
Bang! Crash!
Like smashing a piece of porcelain, Lu Zhengfa's petrified body shattered into fragments all over the ground.
Another breath later.
The stones spread out, transforming into a bloody mass scattered all over after the Life Destruction Ban ended.
[Diagram Master killed Lu Zhengfa, gaining a Ninth Realm Evil Qi]
As the Transformation Diagram captured Lu Zhengfa's Evil Qi.
A voice of grief and anger quickly shouted from outside the hall:
"Master!"
It was Qi Haoran, having clearly seen his master's scene turned into a mass of bloody pieces on the ground, his eyes reddened, stepping forward with a long-handled Xuanhua Axe suddenly appearing in his hand.
His figure leapt up, and with a weight like ten thousand pounds, the long-handled axe split the airflow within dozens of feet, splitting it in two, chopping down towards Chen Ku's head.
As if trying to tear Chen Ku apart.
[With Qi Haoran intending harm against the Master, killing him would gain Ninth Realm Evil Qi]
Facing the impending axe strike, Chen Ku did not raise an eyelid against its furious momentum, having already stated that facing either of these two alone posed no pressure.
Under this axe, he slid his sleeve, where a small white jade axe already appeared in his hand.
It was none other than the Immortal Weapon Moon Repairing Axe of Young Heir Yang Xi.
One swift cut.
The two axes collided.
The seemingly aggressive and powerful long-handled axe, under Chen Ku's small axe, directly split into two, then, Chen Ku reached out his hand.
The first Scattered Palm he comprehended, the Heavenly Control Hand, pressed toward his opponent.
Under this palm, especially with the contacts from 'Battle Technique', the changes within the palm were more all-encompassing, more like a real world.
In the eyes of others, Qi Haoran, whose weapon was split in two, was like a head crashing into Chen Ku's five fingers.
"No…" Qi Haoran, facing a palm imprint like Five Finger Mountain, erupted with endless fear in his eyes in this instant, saying, "Who are you!!"
At this moment, he finally regained clarity, realizing a person who could instantaneously ambush and kill his master's Ninth Realm, Nine Layers heaven cultivation power was beyond his ability to contend.
"Someone your Lingdan Hall has offended."
Accompanied by a light yet dismissive voice under the palm.
The Five Finger Palm Imprint pressed onto Qi Haoran's heavenly spirit cap, thundering force exploding in an instant.
Bang!
A person ranking forty-fifth on the Dragon Abyss Genius List was slain by Chen Ku like this.
Next moment.
Only then did other experts within Lingdan Hall arrive.
Only managing to see Chen Ku's figure dissipate into midair, along with Qi Haoran and founder Lu Zhengfa fallen, with heads exploded, bodies shattered into fragments all over the ground.
"Lingdan Hall… is over!!"
Seeing the bodies of the two shopkeepers, the first thought flashing through the mind of all Lingdan Hall Pill Masters was this:
"The century-old store vanishes from now on."
And they did not know, not only were the two of Lingdan Hall dead tonight.
Half an hour later.
South of Yan Capital City, Teng Family's Young Clan Chief Teng Luo was assassinated in his bedroom.
Three Ninth Realm masters of the Teng Family perished.
...
Another half an hour later.
Xiong Haisha, leader of Yan Capital City's largest gang 'Killing Whale Gang', was assassinated within the gang.
Two Ninth Realm masters of Killing Whale Gang died.
...
Until before dawn.
Within Yan Capital City, killed overnight were eleven Ninth Realm masters, twenty-three Eighth Realm masters.
Yet no one knew, totaling twelve people had died, including one Ninth Realm master, whom Chen Ku took his Martial Arts Gold Order, stuffing his corpse directly into the Fire Beak Pot, rendering knowledge of his death absent for the time being.
All of Yan Capital City erupted into a great quake.
Everyone speculating.
Jianghu tabloids crazily printing extras, various forces on edge, because there was no way to find relevant connections from those assassinated.
Some even speculated whether this was an ancient era's Demon Path cultivator resurfacing for killing to refine techniques.
No one knew the truth.
No one believed the deaths were due to previous malice towards Chen Ku.
...
"Expend nine Ninth Realm Evil Qi, cultivate Zhang Chixin Transformation"
[Zhang Chixin Transformation cultivated to 'Transformation Level']
[Zhang Chixin Transformation·Transformation]
[Cultivation: Ninth Realm Third Layer]
[Qualifications: Superior Talent]
[Physique: Heavenly Yang Body]
[Learned: Red Sun Great Handprint, Primordial Yang Golden Crow Claw, Qianyang Vajra Hand…]
Chen Ku joyfully gazed at the Zhang Chixin Transformation hung on the eleventh Transformation Diagram, having slain eleven Ninth Realm in one night, finally initially cultivating Zhang Chixin Transformation to the Transformation Level, gaining the 'Yang Body' he needed.
Now, he could initially attempt to cultivate 'Sun Decision'.
Next, just need to re-enter Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, kill some more Ninth Realm, fully cultivate Zhang Chixin's Transformation, and the speed of cultivating Sun Decision will also be quicker.
And the event of so many masters dying overnight in Yan Capital City alarmed all forces, even Divine Martial Hall, starting a joint investigation.
Meanwhile, through the Heart Transformation after Tang Xuan Transformation, Chen Ku had entered Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, using the Martial Arts Gold Order of the person whose body was handled.
