Chapter 73: One Year! All Fused and Improved!

For a period of time afterward, Lu Zhangsheng ambushed Wenxiang Sect martial artists late at night every few days.

After his frequent actions, he also killed quite a few early-stage Bone Forging experts.

During this period, he also encountered Wei Zhongyuan, this Wenxiang Sect Helmsman, many times, but was easily retreated by him.

This person was so angry that he was smoking from his seven orifices, but he couldn't do anything about him.

Coupled with Lu Zhangsheng's irregular actions, the other party couldn't figure him out at all, making it even harder to guard against.

However, after this incident, the other party became increasingly cautious, almost completely hiding in the shadows.

Lu Zhangsheng also temporarily dismissed the idea of continuing to take action.

A few days later.

Early morning.

After Lu Zhangsheng washed up, he walked out of the courtyard and ran quickly toward the city gate direction.

Before long.

He left the city gate and hurried along the official road all the way.

Arriving in a dense forest, he immediately operated the Bone Shrinking Art.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

His own bones and muscles changed greatly, and soon he turned into the appearance of another burly man.

After doing all this, Lu Zhangsheng walked quickly toward the official road leading to the Prefecture City.

He planned to take action against the Sanhe Gang again.

With his current ghostly speed, the other party could not catch up to him.

He planned to temporarily blockade the Sanhe Gang's channel to the Prefecture City, not letting the other party grow stronger again.

For the next two days.

As Lu Zhangsheng took action one after another, the Sanhe Gang suffered heavy losses, and wails rose within the gang.

After a large number of martial artists were killed, no one dared to escort goods to the Prefecture City anymore.

Sanhe Gang, Gathering Righteousness Hall.

"Slap..."

Huang Tianba fiercely threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, full of murderous intent.

The Hall Masters and Protectors standing on both sides were all silent as cicadas, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely oppressive.

"This person has taken action again; who will go and kill the other party?"

Huang Tianba's tone was grim.

A Bone Forging expert attacking the Sanhe Gang one after another had thoroughly ignited his anger.

"Report to the Gang Leader, this subordinate has fought with this person; the other party is only an early-stage Bone Forging, but his speed is fast enough..."

Wind and Thunder Hall Master Wang Yong immediately walked out, full of respect.

"This Gang Leader will send you a Protector with good lightness skills; remember this time you cannot fail..."

Huang Tianba's eyes were biting.

"This subordinate obeys your command."

Wang Yong cupped his hands with a look of respect.

…………

This day, at noon.

The warm sun was high.

Lu Zhangsheng leaned quietly against a big tree, chewing a weed in his mouth, looking quite lazy as he stared at the intersection in front.

"Creak..."

Before long, a medium-sized caravan was moving slowly toward the front.

In front of the caravan's carriage was inserted a red flag, with a large "Huang" character written on it.

Several martial artists in front were riding tall horses, quite majestic.

The middle-aged man in the lead had a firm face, his gaze like electricity, clearly his martial arts cultivation was not bad.

Lu Zhangsheng saw this, leaped, jumped onto the official road, and blocked the other party's caravan.

Just as he was preparing to take action, an unexpected change occurred.

Several Sanhe Gang martial artists were very calm, their eyes actually carrying a hint of mockery.

"Bang, bang..."

At this time, two martial artists rushed out from the carriage behind and landed steadily on the ground.

One was exactly Wind and Thunder Hall Master Wang Yong.

The other thin middle-aged man in green looked quite emaciated.

This person was exactly the Sanhe Gang's General Hall Protector, Liao Ziqin.

Although he was only an early-stage Bone Forging, he was famous throughout the entire Sanhe Gang for his lightness skills.

A high-rank lightness skill had been practiced to the Great Completion Realm, enough to make him proud.

"Kid, last time I was careless and let you escape; this time see how you die."

Murderous intent erupted in Wang Yong's eyes, and a powerful aura pressed toward Lu Zhangsheng.

Liao Ziqin on the side also had his body tightened, his eyes staring dead at Lu Zhangsheng, ready to intercept at any time.

"Kill."

Lu Zhangsheng did not talk nonsense and took action directly.

He stimulated the secret art 【Threefold Wave】 and slashed out with one blade forward.

A blinding cold glint flashed in the void, as if it could slash through everything, the momentum extremely fierce.

With this strike, he did not hold back in the slightest and used his full strength.

Under the first stimulation of the secret art, his strength increased by another margin, and the Qi and blood all over his body surged.

"Not good."

Sensing such momentum, Wang Yong and the other looked grave.

"Clatter..."

They hurriedly slashed out with their long blades forward at the same time.

Bursts of air-piercing sounds came from the air.

Liao Ziqin felt as if he were being stared at by a natural enemy, and endless chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two sides fiercely collided together, air waves swept in all directions, the ground cracked in bursts, a complete mess.

With one strike, Lu Zhangsheng's slaughtering knife directly deflected the two's long blades.

Afterward, the momentum did not diminish as it slashed toward Liao Ziqin.

"Ah..."

Before the other party could react, a large head was directly slashed to the ground, fresh blood gushing out.

One strike, Sanhe Gang Protector dead.

With Lu Zhangsheng's strength at this moment, killing an early-stage Bone Forging was simply effortless.

Under the stimulation of the secret art, even this Hall Master Wang was not enough to look at.

The two combined could not defeat him.

All of this happened too quickly, even Wang Yong could not rescue him in time.

The helper the Gang Leader sent to him was killed; how would he explain this when he went back?

"Who exactly are you?"

Wang Yong's eyes were red, his heart full of shock and fear.

The surrounding crowd looked at Lu Zhangsheng with even more terror.

The little sheep that the group thought was directly transformed into a fierce tiger, making everyone unable to believe it.

"Slash."

Lu Zhangsheng ignored the other party and directly lifted his blade to kill.

Kicking with one leg, one flash brought him in front of the other party, lifting his blade to slash.

"Kill."

Wang Yong also stimulated the essence blood in his body and lifted his blade to slash.

At this moment, he had no way out and had to fight for his life.

Just from that strike, he knew his strength was not as good as the other party's. With his strength at the late-stage of early Bone Forging, he was actually at a disadvantage, which made him extremely shocked.

You must know that during their last fight, he still occupied an absolute upper hand.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two sides fought a bloody battle on the official road, bursts of air waves sweeping in all directions.

The scene was full of rolling dust and smoke.

As time passed, Wang Yong was completely at a disadvantage.

He knew that he likely couldn't escape this disaster today.

"Everyone leave immediately and report this matter to the Gang Leader..."

Wang Yong shouted while fully resisting the attack.

The loud voice resounded through the entire scene.

A group of Sanhe Gang members hurriedly fled in all directions, their movements extremely fast.

A few breaths later, they disappeared near the official road.

"Still daring to be distracted, seeking death."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled coldly and did not go to pay attention to this group of fleeing low-level martial artists.

Because he changed his appearance, the other party could not recognize him, so there was no need to worry about anything.

He caught a flaw in Wang Yong and deflected the other party's weapon with one blade.

Then he slashed forward as fast as lightning.

He saw a cold glint directly slash across the other party's neck.

"You..."

Wang Yong clutched his neck, unable to say a word, and then his whole body fell backward.

The head that had not closed its eyes also rolled to the side, fresh blood on the ground, quite terrifying.

Wind and Thunder Hall Master died here.

From the beginning of Lu Zhangsheng's martial arts practice, he had always faced the other party's threat.

At this moment, his martial arts heart seemed to have completed some kind of transformation.

Afterward, Lu Zhangsheng dealt with the corpses on the ground, took away the goods with the panel space, and then left the place.

For the next few days.

He had been wandering on the official road, and whenever he saw a Sanhe Gang caravan, he would ambush it.

He killed a large number of gang members.

Until the other party sent two Blood Exchange Deputy Gang Leaders to come, he immediately hid away.

Making the entire Sanhe Gang unable to do anything about him.

Finally, they had to temporarily close the road to the Prefecture City.

Sanhe Gang, Gathering Righteousness Hall.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Huang Tianba was furious, his right hand smashing the chair in front of him to pieces.

A large amount of wood chips scattered.

The surrounding many Hall Masters and high-level officials were all silent as cicadas.

"Gang Leader, this person is not only extremely fast but also extremely cunning; we can only close the trade route first."

Deputy Gang Leader Shen Yunbo walked out, biting the bullet.

He also did not expect that a strange martial artist would bring such big trouble to the Sanhe Gang.

"Hmph... this Seat will find a way to solve this matter."

Cold glints emerged in Huang Tianba's eyes.

A large gang, because of one martial artist, giving up trade with the Prefecture City, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?

He could not compromise on this matter.

…………

After striking the Sanhe Gang's forces, Lu Zhangsheng returned to his own courtyard.

Since the other party would not go to the Prefecture City for the time being, he did not choose to continue lying in wait.

His own several martial arts were gradually falling behind, so he planned to dig for spiritual objects with all his strength in the coming days to fuse the remaining blade techniques and body techniques.

Time passed slowly.

In a flash, more than half a year passed.

During this period, Lu Zhangsheng, besides patrolling in the city, went to kill demons and some Wenxiang Sect martial artists around the county city.

He also killed quite a few Black Mountain Bandits who came down the mountain to plunder.

This day, at noon.

Lu Zhangsheng and Fang Qing's siblings were eating lunch.

Fang Qing suddenly looked worried: "I heard that the outside world is becoming increasingly unstable; the neighboring Clear Water County was even attacked by demon people..."

"You must be careful when going out."

"Don't worry, I know."

Lu Zhangsheng nodded with a smile.

He also knew about the demon people the other party spoke of.

It was likely inseparable from the "human traitors" of the Heavenly Demon Gate, and even the Wenxiang Sect had a thousand threads of connection with the other party.

It is rumored that some martial artists, in order to break through the realm or extend their lifespan, defected to demons and even formed the notorious force of the Heavenly Demon Gate.

The entire Jianghu situation was becoming increasingly chaotic under the stirring of this group of people.

This group of people was also unscrupulous to achieve their goals, not caring about commoner casualties at all, making people extremely disgusted.

Soon, several people finished their meal and left separately.

Lu Zhangsheng came to the study, preparing to start fusing skills.

Now the situation was becoming increasingly strange, and he had to improve his strength quickly.

And over this past year, he had already dug up enough spiritual objects.

"Panel, fuse them all!"

He pointed directly toward the fusion button behind the skills.

Fusing several skills at the same time, extremely domineering.

【After twenty years of comprehension, fusing a large number of blade technique manuals, you finally comprehended a new blade technique...】

【After twenty years of bitter practice, fusing a large number of body technique manuals, you finally had a sudden enlightenment of a new body technique...】

【Do you want to rename the new cultivation technique?】

The crisp notification sound rang out crazily in his mind.

A moment later.

Lu Zhangsheng slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint piercing the void.

"Rename!"

Soon, the new cultivation technique was formed.

【Mysterious Origin Slash】 (Entry Level)

【Giant Cauldron Art】 (Entry Level)

【Cloud Mist Step】 (Entry Level)

Source Energy Points: 80.

He directly renamed the three top-tier cultivation techniques.

Among them, 【Giant Cauldron Art】 was upgraded from the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield.

The other two were blade techniques and footwork.

Coupled with the secret technique 【Threefold Wave】 which was also improved to the Transcendent Realm.

At this moment, his strength improved a bit again.

The blade technique, footwork, and his own realm were also matched.

Next, he only needed to dig for spiritual objects and improve them together to become strong quickly.
