[Skill: Great Void Technique (Proficient)]

[Progress: 195/200 points]

[Status: cannot be upgraded]

[Note: A good horse can only jump ten steps in one leap; a slow horse can travel ten steps in ten steps if it keeps on going. Continuous practice will make you more proficient in the Great Void Art and master extremely fast speed. After this breakthrough, you have a more thorough understanding of the word Void. When you use this martial art, you can cross space, come and go without a trace, and be hard to grasp.]

"After these days of practice, I am still a little short of the Great Void Technique. If everything goes well, I will be able to break through tonight."

Shen Qing murmured to himself and couldn't help but smile.

Ever since Huangfu Rou taught him the Daxu Technique completely, he has been getting better and better at practicing this martial art.

With the blessing of spiritual energy, in just a few days, this martial art has quietly met the conditions for a breakthrough.

Shen Qing secretly thought: "Once I make a breakthrough in this martial art, I can try to kill Xue Yan."

Today's incident happened suddenly. Xue Yan came here rashly. I don't know what kind of backup plan he has. Moreover, I don't know how many people will see him coming to the Weiwu Division in broad daylight.

If he had killed him at that moment, he would have been blamed for his death in the Weiwu Division.

In other words, just let this Third Master Xue die somewhere else so that he will not have any connection with him.

That being the case, there's nothing to say.

Shen Qing quickly made a decision in his mind and went into the training room. He took out a jade token and immersed himself in practicing without distraction.

He used the Great Void Technique and kept running in the training room, his body transforming into a series of phantoms.

Time passed little by little, the night deepened, and the moon hung in the sky.

Shen Qing didn't know how long he had been running. As if he sensed something, he suddenly stopped and stayed in the training room. Lines of ink characters appeared in his sight.

[Skill: Great Void Technique (Proficient)]

[Progress: 201/200 points]

[Status: Upgradable]

Shen Qing did not hesitate: "Breakthrough!"

hum.

After a brief period of calm, a huge amount of memories flooded into his mind, making him dizzy and painful.

Shen Qing, who was well prepared, used his powerful spiritual sense to keep his mind focused and suppress the discomfort.

After a moment, he completely digested and absorbed this memory.

In his memory, Shen Qing practiced the Great Void Technique over and over again. After continuous and hard practice, the mysteries of the Great Void Technique finally became clear in his mind.

His understanding and insights into the Great Void Art became more and more profound.

The next moment, a wave of spiritual energy suddenly surged in the training room.

Shen Qing's heartbeat accelerated, and all the pores in his body seemed to open at this moment, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was flowing out from the jade plate.

With a low but powerful roar, the power in Shen Qing's body seemed to have found an outlet and burst out instantly.

At this moment, his spiritual power veins became completely consistent with his memory.

After adapting for a while, Shen Qing let out a long breath.

[Skill: Great Void Technique (Minor Achievement)]

[Progress: 1/300 points]

[Status: cannot be upgraded]

[Note: God rewards hard work. After continuous practice, you have achieved a small breakthrough in the martial art of Great Void Art. You have a more thorough understanding of the word "Void" and have begun to touch the realm of extreme speed. By performing this martial art, you can cross space and master the skill of 'Invisibility'.]

Looking at the reminder that appeared in his sight, Shen Qing smiled knowingly.

"Let's see what level this Huangfu family martial arts can reach after it breaks through to minor success."

Shen Qing mobilized all his spiritual power and practiced the Great Void Technique.

His figure swayed slightly, and he disappeared out of thin air in the training room, leaving only a faint blue light flickering in the place, as if it was the trace of him crossing the void.

When he reappeared, he was already at the other end of the training room, his figure almost blending into the air, achieving true teleportation.

Across the distance, without a trace.

"This……"

Shen Qing looked at this scene and was very surprised.

With the reminder of the ink text, he had already been mentally prepared for the changes in the Great Void Technique, but when it was actually realized, he still found it a little hard to believe.

He realized that the Great Void Art, which he had cultivated to the "minor success" realm, had vaguely escaped from the category of "martial arts" and began to transform into the level of "immortality".

The martial arts passed down from ancient times are somewhat different.

Shen Qing put away his thoughts and didn't delve into it any further.

He pushed open the door, looked up, and saw a bright moon hanging like a pearl in the inky sky.

The silver light was shining, and the silent Yongzhou City was dyed with a faint, cold blue and white.

"It's a dark and windy night, it's a good time to kill someone."

Shen Qing immediately stopped hesitating and said, "Mr. Xue San, it's your bad luck to mess with me."

He walked out of the training room, called Chen Guang to ask about the location of Xue Yan and others, and then quietly left the Weiwu Division office.

When he reached a deserted place, he took a deep breath and the spiritual energy in his body surged wildly.

Suddenly, his figure became completely blurred in the night and he suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint shadow that blended perfectly with the shadows around him.

……

In the city of Yongzhou, in a room of an inn, the candlelight flickered, casting mottled shadows.

Xue Yan sat at the table, his figure lengthened by the candlelight.

After experiencing a series of blows today, his emotions were like waves stirred up by strong winds, surging and difficult to calm.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The hateful look of Shen Qing looking down on him kept appearing in his mind, which made him annoyed.

Suddenly, Xue Yan punched the table hard, and the square table broke into pieces in an instant.

After Xue Yan vented his emotions, he stood up and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

Judging from Shen Qing's words and actions today, he is obviously a ruthless person who cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes and only cares about the present.

Therefore, using those illusory backgrounds to suppress him was completely ineffective, and his plan was completely thwarted.

As a result, he would come to Yongzhou empty-handed and would have no way to explain to his father and others when he returned.

He was extremely unwilling to waste the opportunity he finally got to prove himself.

The best way is to find someone stronger than Shen Qing and suppress him in person. Only then will there be a glimmer of hope for this matter.

Xue Yan immediately thought of Shi Wenbo, the imperial envoy who came to Yongzhou this time.

This person has a close relationship with his Xue family, and his cultivation is also higher than Shen Qing's, so he is a natural teammate.

However, this spiritual essence is not easy to explain clearly.

Xue Yan fell into deep thought, wondering how he could use words to get Shi Wenbo to put pressure on Shen Qing.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xue Yan paused and asked, "Who?" "It's me." Shi Wenbo's voice came from the door. He continued, "Nephew, what happened in your room just now? Did you encounter any trouble?"

Xue Yan was stunned for a moment and burst out laughing.

He looked at the square table that had turned into a pile of broken wood and said, "It's nothing. I was just in a bad mood and broke the table and chairs. Thank you for your concern."

"Okay, if you have anything, you can always tell me."

Xue Yan said respectfully: "Thank you, sir."

Listening to the footsteps receding outside the house, Xue Yan realized that Shi Wenbo was so caring towards him, and he suddenly felt more confident.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "God really helps me. Shen Qing, you will pay the price for what you did to me today sooner or later. My Xue family will never suffer such humiliation in public!"

It was late at night and the candlelight was gradually dimming, but the fire in Xue Yan's heart was burning brighter and brighter, and his eyes were flashing with determination.

Xue Yan saw that it was getting late and he had no habit of practicing at night, so he immediately prepared to go to bed and rest.

At this moment, the candlelight in the room began to flicker.

Xue Yan was a little surprised, his hair stood on end, and he became extremely alert.

But before he could react, an extremely fast cold light flashed silently across the void.

In just a blink of an eye, a silver mark was left on his neck.

Xue Yan's expression suddenly changed, and before he could react, the cold light had disappeared, leaving only a slight chill and dull pain in his neck.

He was shocked and immediately realized that a master was attacking him in secret!
Almost instinctively, Xue Yan's spiritual power surged, and the protective aura instantly covered his entire body like armor. At the same time, he covered his neck and madly circulated his spiritual power to repair the injury on his neck.

He has been practicing in the mansion since he was young, and every day he uses all kinds of natural treasures to strengthen his body.

Therefore, his flesh and blood are much stronger than those of ordinary people, and this degree of injury is not fatal to him.

As the spiritual power was activated, the skin and flesh began to move and showed signs of healing.

"It's not that easy to kill me! Those who can only attack by surprise must be weaker than me, and they are just cunning people."

Xue Yan thought viciously in his heart, and his expression became ferocious.

"Swenber must not have gone far just now. I should ask him to join me in finding this villain and make sure he is killed without a burial place."

Xue Yan opened his mouth and wanted to shout loudly.

However, when he gathered all his strength to open his mouth, he found that his vocal cords seemed to be severely pinched invisibly, and he could only make a hoarse "ho ho" sound and was unable to form any words.

Xue Yan's eyes widened.

His vocal cords were severed.

An inexplicable fear spread in his heart like ice, and he had to get away from this place.

Xue Yan hurriedly raised his head and looked around, trying to find the enemy hiding in the dark and identify him to escape.

However, the entire room was so small and empty that apart from the flickering candlelight and his own shadow, there was no sign of another person.

Just when he was at a loss, a dazzling golden seal fell from the sky like a meteor, enveloping his entire body with irresistible pressure.

Xue Yan only felt an indescribable force pressing down on him. His body-protecting qi was as fragile as paper in front of this force and was torn to pieces in an instant.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Xue Yan's whole body seemed to be a clay sculpture hit by a huge hammer. It instantly collapsed and scattered, turning into a ball of blurry meat paste, without even a trace of struggle.

Under this force, the whole room began to tremble slightly.

After a while, everything was settled.

The candlelight was still flickering, but the atmosphere in the room had become cold and dead silent.

After Shi Wenbo, who was not far away, noticed the noise, he could not help but shake his head in silence, thinking that Xue Yan's movements were a bit too much in the middle of the night.

Seeing that Xue Yan didn't say anything, he didn't think much about it, let alone think about going to check.

In a dark alley behind the inn, a shadow swayed and appeared inside.

When the shadow faded, Shen Qing's figure hiding inside was revealed.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the inn, and couldn't help but smile with joy.

Shen Qing didn't expect that tonight would be so smooth.

After his breakthrough in the Great Void Technique, he sneaked into Xue Yan's house without alerting anyone and killed Xue Yan with two moves, thus putting his mind at ease.

This time, he was very secretive and there wouldn't be any clues pointing to him.

Without staying in the alley for too long, Shen Qing continued to mobilize his spiritual power, practicing the Great Void Technique, and disappeared into the alley.

After returning to the courtyard, he continued to practice diligently with a calm mind.

Nothing happened all night.

The next morning, the military officers rushed to his house and shouted in panic, "Master Shen, Master Shen! Something bad has happened!"

Shen Qing came out of his state of cultivation.

He felt a little unhappy that his practice was suddenly interrupted.

Shen Qing's figure flashed and appeared behind the gate. He opened the gate and said dissatisfiedly: "What happened to make you so panicked?"

The military officer swallowed his saliva and said, "Master Xue Yan is dead! This is a serious matter. Our Lord Huangfu has asked the other lords to rush over."

"What? There is such a thing." Shen Qing showed an expression of disbelief and said, "Quick, take me there!"

"My Lord, follow me this way."

The soldier who led the way had great agility and moved very quickly.

After about an incense stick of time, Shen Qing was brought to an inn.

"Master Shen, it's in here."

Shen Qing didn't hesitate. He stepped over the threshold and walked in quickly.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the innkeeper kneeling in front of Shi Wenbo with tears in his eyes, and pleading: "Sir, I am innocent. I really don't know who the murderer is. It has nothing to do with me. Sir, please judge, Sir, please judge!"

"Humph, you say it doesn't matter, so it doesn't matter? People died here, I think you have something to do with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Wenbo swept his hand and hit the shopkeeper in the face.

The innkeeper's head exploded like a watermelon, and red and white things scattered all over the ground.

Swenber turned his wrist and didn't care much.

In the living room lobby, Huangfu Rou, Dou Wenxi, Yan Xushou, Ji He and others were all present, and they all looked extremely ugly.

Shen Qing stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what's going on?"

"Alas... Lord Shen, please go up and take a look yourself." Dou Wenxi said with a long sigh.

Shen Qing clasped his fists and walked to Xue Yan's room, only to see it was a mess.

Xue Yan's entire body was sticky to the ground, his flesh and blood all over.

Shen Qing was stunned when he saw this.

I think I tried too hard last night.

Mr. Xue San died tragically.

He gathered his thoughts, returned to the hall, and stood beside Huangfu Rou without saying a word.

Shi Wenbo looked around at everyone and said sternly, "Someone in Yongzhou actually attacked our imperial envoy. What do you think of this?"
