Chapter 120: What Will You Use to Block This Slash!

Half a month later, at high noon.

In a courtyard.

Lu Zhangsheng sat quietly on the stone chair in the courtyard, picked up the wine pot in his hand, and poured a mouthful of spirit wine.

The fragrance remained on his lips and teeth, and bursts of warm current surged in his belly.

Listening to the continuous notification sounds in his ears made him feel quite satisfied.

【Source Energy Points +1.】

【Source Energy Points +1.】

……

After half a month of hard digging, the resources in his hand were also rising rapidly, and he might be able to improve his several skills tonight.

Since these days, Lu Zhangsheng had been hibernating at home; even when his teammates Tong Yuhua and Yue Wanting invited him, he did not go out of the city to act temporarily.

The next time he moved, it would be Miao Qingfeng's death date.

He had already made plans; after the skills were improved, he would go to hunt this person.

Just then, the Fang siblings walked over slowly.

"Changsheng, the cellar at home has been built, all according to your requirements, built with refined iron……"

Fang Qing walked to the table and sat down, smiling at the same time, her voice crisp, like an oriole.

"Hmm, if the situation in the city changes, you must immediately go inside and hide."

Lu Zhangsheng's face was indifferent, and he did not explain too much.

According to his guess, turmoil would break out in the city sooner or later, and then this cellar would be a place to save lives.

The Fang siblings looked at each other, a trace of worry appearing in their eyes.

Now that Lu Zhangsheng's status in the Demon-Suppressing Division was rising steadily, he would never speak without reason.

I fear there was some astonishing secret in it.

If the city became chaotic, I don't know how many people would die.

Thinking of this, bursts of chill rose in the hearts of the two.

However, the two were also very sensible and did not ask too much; some secrets were better not known.

"Sister Qing must take Taozi to practice martial arts well, and must not be slack."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled faintly.

The two had been practicing martial arts for a while, and their martial arts had already entered the door; next, they only needed to practice step by step.

"I will urge him."

Fang Qing nodded heavily; this world was becoming more and more chaotic, and only by practicing martial arts could one live well in this troubled world.

Fang Tao on the side heard this and had a bitter face.

Practicing martial arts was too difficult; he practiced hard every day, but his realm did not rise much, as if he had practiced a fake one.

"I really don't know how Brother Changsheng practices……"

He muttered in a low voice.

Lu Zhangsheng laughed dumbly; this Fang Tao's talent was truly ordinary, not even half of his sister Fang Qing's.

If it weren't for some resources, I fear that if he practiced until he died, he would not be able to break through to Blood Exchange.

……

Night, stars dotted.

Wisps of silver light scattered in the courtyard, as if wrapping the surrounding green shade in a layer of silver sand.

Lu Zhangsheng stood in the center of the courtyard, his feet spread apart, exuding a sense of being as immovable as a mountain.

He opened the panel.

Source Energy Points: 3500.

After half a month of digging, the resources in his hand were full again.

And the plus signs behind the skills were all lit up.

"Add points."

Lu Zhangsheng did not hesitate; with a thought, he clicked toward the three skills at the same time.

As the Source Energy Points decreased by 3000, a vast sound instantly rang from the depths of his mind, as if evening drums and morning bells were beating.

The Qi and Blood in his body surged crazily, and the body-protecting Gang Qi also rotated spontaneously, forming a transparent Gang Qi shield on the body surface.

【After years of hard cultivation, Absolute Spirit Slash, Body-Protecting True Gang, and Snow-Treading Trace-less have finally been practiced to Transcendent Mastery by you.】

Several panel notification sounds rang in his mind again, and this improvement ended officially.

A moment later.

Lu Zhangsheng slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light shot directly into the void.

After these skills broke through, his strength had reached the Blood Exchange limit, and the next step was Tuotai.

What kind of power the Transcendent Mastery skill level had, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

According to the panel, Transcendent Mastery represented the limit of skills, surpassing the realm that countless predecessors could reach.

Lu Zhangsheng immediately began to verify.

"Boom boom boom……"

As the Body-Protecting True Gang was fully stimulated, a powerful pure white airflow instantly enveloped his whole body.

The fallen leaves around began to rotate around Lu Zhangsheng, and the movement was quite astonishing.

"Sizzle……"

Gradually, Lu Zhangsheng's legs actually left the ground, gently supported by the Gang Qi.

Although it was less than an inch from the ground, it was also extremely magical.

Legend has it that Innate martial artists can fly, and Lu Zhangsheng's astonishing body-protecting Gang Qi already had a trace of the power of Innate Gang Qi.

One must know that a martial artist's energy is limited, and almost no one can practice a top-tier body-protecting technique to the realm of Transcendent Mastery.

At this moment, Lu Zhangsheng raised his long blade and slashed quickly toward the Gang Qi shield.

"Boom boom boom……"

Bursts of roaring sounds echoed through the whole courtyard, and the Gang Qi shield was still surrounded by fluorescence, as stable as Mount Tai.

"Such strong defense."

Lu Zhangsheng's face was full of joy.

For this slash, he had used more than half of his strength, yet he could not break his own defense.

After this breakthrough, his defense skyrocketed by double, and I fear that some mid-stage Tuotai experts would find it difficult to easily break his body-protecting Gang Qi.

With this body-protecting divine art, it was enough to greatly increase his safety.

Afterward, Lu Zhangsheng slowly put away the Gang Qi and began to verify the blade technique and footwork.

"Whew……"

His footsteps flashed, and only residual shadows remained in the void, and even his body was hard to see clearly.

At this moment, countless blade lights shuttled in the courtyard, gradually forming a giant net, which was extremely sharp, and even the ground was cut into strips of marks by the blade Qi.

"Whew……"

A moment later, Lu Zhangsheng held the long blade, returned to the spot, and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

The power of his blade technique and footwork also increased by a large margin.

With his current strength, he was enough to suppress and kill Miao Qingfeng.

After verifying, Lu Zhangsheng turned and walked toward the bedroom.

……

The next few days.

The situation outside the city was still incomparably chaotic and bloody, with a large number of experts falling one after another, like a meat grinder.

The Ten Great Protectors of the heretic cult dispatched one after another, blood-sacrificing a large number of civilians, making many government martial artists extremely hateful.

Lu Zhangsheng did not move immediately, but had been silently collecting information about Miao Qingfeng.

This person had been participating in the siege of small towns, and his means were extremely bloody and cruel.

Three days later, early morning.

Lu Zhangsheng sat on the stone chair, holding a piece of information obtained from the Demon-Suppressing Division.

"Miao Qingfeng, the tenth of the Ten Great Protectors of the Wenxiang Sect, cruel by nature, likes to abuse and kill young girls and children, a Tuotai early-stage expert……"

"Appeared near Cao Lin Town five days ago……"

……

Lu Zhangsheng looked at the information in his hand quietly, thinking carefully.

This person was elusive, and wanting to hunt the other party also had no small difficulty.

However, when he transformed into Zhang Ji and sneaked into the heretic cult gathering that day, he accidentally heard the other party's plan to attack Taoyuan Town next.

But what made him feel strange was that although there were Tuotai experts confronting each other in Taoyuan Town, this person's tracks did not appear.

It clearly did not match the news that Miao Qingfeng said that day about besieging Taoyuan Town in ten days.

"It seems this person's plan might have changed, but it is definitely inseparable from Taoyuan Town."

Lu Zhangsheng determined in his heart in an instant.

Afterward, he put away the information and stood up to walk out of the courtyard.

……

Three days later, the scorching sun was in the sky.

Taoyuan Town.

This town was located more than two hundred miles northwest of the county city, relying on mountains and water, with many fertile fields outside the city, supporting thousands of people in the town.

At this moment, the entire small town revealed an extremely tense atmosphere.

A large number of heretic cult experts gathered outside the city, surrounding the entire Taoyuan Town, and this situation had lasted for more than ten days.

Thousands of residents in the town were all in a panic.

The City Guard Army was also patrolling day and night, ready at any moment to meet the attack of that group of heretic cultists.

However, fortunately, the county city sent experts to help, which made the residents in the city feel a little relieved.

On the city wall.

A middle-aged man in white stood with his hands behind his back, looking murderous, his eyes shining brightly.

His body exuded bursts of incomparably powerful aura.

The other party was the expert Jiang Chen sent by the government this time, with Tuotai early-stage strength, and also one of the foundations inside the Demon-Suppressing Division.

A group of City Guard Army around all looked at the other party in awe.

"Whew……"

Just then, a heaven-shaking horn sound echoed through the sky, and a large number of black shadows rushed out from the dense forest outside the city, surging toward the city gate.

Endless fiendish energy surged, a black mass, carrying a powerful sense of oppression.

The leader was in a blood-colored long robe, with a gloomy face and killing intent in his eyes.

This person was the seventh protector of the heretic cult, Ding Songyang, a Tuotai early-stage expert.

"Enemy attack." Countless City Guard Army reacted immediately, sounded the horn, and an extremely tense atmosphere permeated the whole field.

"Dare to come out of the city for a battle? This small town can't stop this Seat."

Ding Songyang sneered, his tone extremely contemptuous.

He stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching Jiang Chen on the city wall, his heart even more confident.

"Why wouldn't I dare!"

Jiang Chen's killing intent burst out.

He knew that what the other party said was true; relying on this small city wall alone could not stop a Tuotai expert.

If the other party rushed into the city and fought with himself, I fear it would affect many civilians then.

Now that the other party invited him to come out of the city for a decisive battle, it was just what he wanted.

"Kill."

Jiang Chen jumped up and rushed toward the outside of the city quickly, like a big bird gliding in the void.

Drumming his robe crazily, making a rustling sound.

In a few breaths, he arrived not far in front of Ding Songyang and landed steadily.

"Die for this Seat."

Ding Songyang raised the blood-colored giant claw weapon in his hand and grabbed toward Jiang Chen in front violently.

Bursts of blood fiendish energy surrounded, as if countless ghosts were roaring in the void, and a nauseating bloody smell rushed toward his face.

"Slash."

Jiang Chen did not show weakness either, raised the long blade in his hand, and rushed up.

One slash from top to bottom.

The sharp blade light flickered at the tip of the blade, as if to cut through everything, and the momentum was fierce and peerless.

"Boom boom boom……"

Both sides collided violently, fierce air waves swept in all directions, and a piece of dust and smoke rose on the field.

After one strike, both retreated several meters, and this fight was evenly matched.

Jiang Chen's expression was very indifferent.

The two had fought no less than several times and were already extremely familiar with each other.

With his strength, he was simply not afraid of Ding Songyang, which had already been verified more than half a month ago.

Ding Songyang's face was somewhat weird, his eyes flickering.

"Bang bang bang……"

Then, the two rushed up again, fighting fiercely in the open space ahead, gradually approaching the edge of the dense forest in the distance.

With the fighting of experts on both sides, many martial artists in the city also fought with a group of heretic cultists.

For a time, the entire battlefield was full of various shouting sounds, weapon collision sounds, and bone-breaking sounds.

Thick fiendish energy intertwined, forming a cloud rushing straight into the sky.

Time passed slowly, and the entire battlefield became more and more tragic.

A cup of tea time later.

"Master Jiang wins all!"

Seeing Jiang Chen block the heretic cult protector again, many martial artists on the city wall cheered one after another.

The momentum became higher and higher, firmly blocking the heretic cult experts outside the city.

Without accident, this small town was defended again today.

Just when everyone was certain in their hearts, a mutation occurred.

A blood-colored figure rushed out from the dense forest in the distance like lightning, arrived in front of Jiang Chen, raised his blade and slashed.

The giant blade light flickered in the void, carrying bursts of blood fiendish energy.

"Not good, there is an expert in ambush!"

Jiang Chen was full of anger and immediately dodged to the side, but unfortunately, he was still a step slow.

"Ah……"

Accompanied by a scream, a blood-stained arm was instantly slashed to the ground, the cut was flat, and a large amount of fresh blood surged out.

"It's you, Miao Qingfeng!"

At this moment, Jiang Chen saw the person coming, full of anger, and the killing intent in his eyes was like substance.

"Today is your death date, this Seat will slaughter this small town."

Miao Qingfeng smiled cruelly and licked the corner of his mouth.

Only bloody killing could calm the anger in his heart.

Last time, because of the mysterious expert, he was punished, which made him unable to hold back wanting to retaliate.

As long as he could kill this Tuotai expert in front of him, the merit would be quite a lot, and he even hoped for Innate in the future.

Thinking of this, he began to get excited in his heart.

After his strength increased, he would go to hunt that mysterious martial artist.

"Not good."

Everyone in the city saw this and showed despair one after another.

They did not expect that there were still heretic cult experts hidden outside the city; they would likely not be able to escape now.

An incomparably desperate atmosphere spread in the city.

"Hehe, quickly slaughter this group of people."

A large number of heretic cultists were full of excitement.

They would definitely win this battle.

Just when many heretic cultists were cheering, a snow-white blade light suddenly rushed out from the jungle and slashed quickly toward Miao Qingfeng.

The sharp blade light carried bursts of fiendish energy, as if to cut through everything, and the momentum was astonishing.

In an instant, the blade light approached Miao Qingfeng's chest.

The person who made the move was Lu Zhangsheng.

As early as a few days ago, he was squatting in the jungle; just now, when the other party ambushed Jiang Chen, he reacted in an instant and made a move directly.

"It's you, Ye Chen!"

Sensing the familiar aura, Miao Qingfeng was full of horror and roared crazily.

A sense of death emerged from the depths of his heart.

He did not expect that in less than a month, the other party's strength had skyrocketed again.

This made him hard to believe.

Too late to think, Miao Qingfeng immediately slashed forward.

"Boom boom boom……"

Fierce energy swept in all directions, and blade lights shuttled in the void.

Lu Zhangsheng directly swung away the long blade in Miao Qingfeng's hand and slashed toward the other party's head.

This slash was to make him meet his end.

Miao Qingfeng was full of despair and dodged to the side immediately.

Although he dodged the fatal part, his left arm was still passed through by the blade light.

"Ah……"

A shrill scream rang out, a large amount of fresh blood surged out, and the blood-stained arm was also thrown high.

Immediately after, the second slash had already killed Miao Qingfeng's chest.

Between the moves, it carried sharp killing intent.

Miao Qingfeng was incomparably aggrieved in his heart; he also needed a few breaths to stimulate Demon Blood Essence.

Under the other party's ambush, continuous slashes made him unable to react at all.

He had to barely slash to block again.

"Bang bang bang……"

Another loud sound came, and Lu Zhangsheng directly broke the other party's long blade and slashed toward Miao Qingfeng's face.

"Ah…… I am not reconciled……"

Miao Qingfeng dodged to the side in despair; the same thing happened again, another arm was thrown high, and the long blade also fell to the ground.

Losing both hands and weapons, his combat power was greatly reduced.

Immediately after, Lu Zhangsheng's third slash had already arrived.

"This slash, let's see what you use to block!"

Lu Zhangsheng's killing intent was sharp.

From Lu Zhangsheng's move to the third slash, not even a breath had passed.

One could imagine how astonishing his speed was.

"You won unfairly……"

After a desperate shout, accompanied by a huge head rushing into the sky, a large amount of fresh blood surged out.

When his consciousness was blurred, Miao Qingfeng became more and more unwilling.

His various means had not been used, his Demon Blood Essence……

His Innate Martial Dao……

Had all turned into illusion and bubbles.

Three slashes, Miao Qingfeng died! With Lu Zhangsheng's strength, under normal circumstances, he could not cause this shocking scene, but under his ambush, the other party did not use many means, which is why he was aggrieved and beheaded, otherwise, the other party could have resisted for some time even if he fought to the death.

At this moment, everyone on the field reacted, full of shock.

"It's Master Ye, Master Ye came to save us."

Countless City Guard Army had tears in their eyes, full of excitement.

Finding life in a desperate situation, they cheered one after another.

The name Ye Chen had already spread throughout the entire county city.

Jiang Chen was also full of joy, thinking he would surely die today, but did not expect an expert to come to help.

For this Ye Chen, he also had great favor; the other party must be a genius figure secretly cultivated inside the government.

Many heretic cultists were stagnant in momentum, full of fear.

That slash was too terrifying, scaring everyone out of their wits.

Ding Songyang, however, looked at Lu Zhangsheng quietly, hooking a weird smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Not good, is there a trap?"

Lu Zhangsheng saw this, his expression tightened, and he was ready to retreat.

"Whew……"

Just then, four black figures suddenly rushed out from the jungle behind, surrounding Lu Zhangsheng and Jiang Chen in a front, back, left, and right posture.
