The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 427: Soul-breaking Completed, Promotion Appointment (asking for monthly ticket~)

"Sir, this Guan Dongxiang is really stubborn. We tortured and interrogated him for more than 20 days, taking turns to interrogate him day and night without stopping for a moment, but he didn't say a word."

A middle-aged man wearing a thick navy blue suit with black lines and fish scale patterns stood respectfully in front of Chen Pingan and reported.

Chen Pingan closed his eyes, sat upright on the big chair, and listened quietly.

The Northern Swordsman Guan Dongxiang haunts the seven counties of the Northern Canglong all year round. Chen Pingan has no grudges against him, but he has come all the way to Weishui to challenge him. Chen Pingan would not believe that there is no one behind this.

In the battle on Changjie, the northern swordsman Guan Dongxiang was seriously injured by his sword and was imprisoned in the Weishui dungeon after his defeat.

There was no need for him to say much, the people below naturally knew what to do.

Torture and interrogation were the specialties of the Zhenfu Division, and the Weishui dungeon was full of talented people. However, even though all the eighteen martial arts were used, Guan Dongxiang just kept silent.

Although Guan Dongxiang was a master on the Dragon and Tiger List and had strong vitality, he was seriously injured by a knife and was already in critical condition. If the execution continued like this, he might really die. The subordinates did not dare to make a decision on their own and immediately ran to Chen Pingan to report the situation.

There is no need to mention the three invitations and four greetings in the middle.

"Please put the execution on hold for now. We have been forcing him for so many days, and we should have gotten the answers long ago." Chen Pingan slowly opened his eyes, his expression calm, and said calmly, "Let this man live first!"

"Yes, sir." The middle-aged man responded respectfully.

As the head of Weishui Prison, he was in charge of Weishui Prison. He was a powerful figure outside. But in front of Chen Pingan, he did not dare to be disrespectful.

This person's reputation has spread far and wide. If you respect him, he will basically not make things difficult for you. But if you are ignorant, arrogant, and do things insincerely, then I'm sorry. No matter what your ability or background is, you will be suppressed!

"Okay, let's go down and do it." Chen Pingan waved his hand.

"Yes." The Weishui jailer saluted respectfully, then slowly backed away until he closed the door of the public housing unit, then turned around.

"Guandongxiang" Chen Pingan glanced at the report on the table. This was the report handed over by the Weishui jailer.

When the Weishui jailer comes to report, he will not come with nothing. The corresponding materials are of course well prepared. The higher the level of the report, the more materials need to be prepared in advance. But in most cases, the time it takes for the superiors to read the materials is often inversely proportional to the time you prepare them. The longer you prepare, the less time they have to read. On the contrary, in some unimportant reporting occasions, where no big shots are involved, the materials you prepared casually will be questioned by others to show off their little power.

The higher up the ladder, the more likely they are to not see what they want in the materials you prepare. If it is within the professional scope, perhaps you have been labeled silently.

"Hard bones, hard bones are good!" Chen Pingan tapped the table lightly, making a crisp knocking sound.

Although Guan Dongxiang's mouth is tough, in fact, whether he says it or not, it does not affect the overall situation. Although Guan Dongxiang was defeated by him with one sword, he is also a dragon and tiger master who is rampant in the north. He has a good status and position. There are actually only a few people who have the ability to instruct him behind the scenes and happen to be enemies with him.

It doesn’t matter whether Guan Dongxiang says it or not!
He is not a stubborn person who needs evidence to do things. I suspect you are guilty, sorry, then you are guilty!

The two possibilities behind the scenes who instigated the northern swordsman Guan Dongxiang to invite the fight and made ruthless plans and set up the conspiracy were the Canglong Xue family and Qiankunsi Tong Guan.

Considering what happened before, common sense would suggest that the Canglong Xue family is more likely to be the one.

But Chen Ping'an vaguely felt that the person who set up this trap with the intention of forcing him into a desperate situation should be the Qiankunsi Jinluo Qiankunshi candidate, Tiangang Tongzi Gong, Tong Guan!
Tong Guan is a sinister and cunning person. He borrowed the power of the Xue family to set up this situation, which seems to be his style.

Moreover, Tong Guan had not reacted at all since Tong Jin's death! At first, he thought that Tong Guan's means of revenge would be Feng Chengxiu, but he didn't expect that he was waiting for him here.

As expected, none of those who can become a master are simple-minded!

Taking action personally and putting oneself in the spotlight is only the worst of the worst. After all, they are not evil heretics, they are all mixed up in the system, and no one will overturn the table unless it is absolutely necessary.

If it really came to this, he would undoubtedly be ready to perish together with his enemies. Whether he succeeded or not, he would be retaliated by the system.

"This old bastard!" Chen Ping'an's eyes flickered: "If there is a chance, let's get rid of him together!"

Although he was not sure whether it was Tong Guan who did it, Chen Pingan did not believe that Tong Guan would be so magnanimous. As long as there was a possibility, he would eliminate him without a trace.

All of this is brought about by his confidence.

Among the masters of the early stage of Yuheng, although Tong Guan's fighting ability was not bad, he was just so-so in front of Chen Ping'an. It was nothing more than a question of five moves or ten moves.

hum~
Thinking of this, Chen Ping'an's brows began to tremble slightly. It happened that the time for cultivation had passed, and he had almost adjusted his breathing. It was just right for him to continue practicing the Soul-breaking Sword Technique.

"Let's make a concerted effort and perfect the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique today!" Chen Pingan's eyes condensed, and the true essence in his body began to circulate according to the unique trajectory of the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique. Along with the true essence, there was also the spiritual power of the spirit platform drawn down from the center of the eyebrows.

True energy is the soldier, spirituality is the general, coordinate the synergy and drive as easily as using one's arms!
+1!

A familiar and inexplicable experience of cultivation flashed through his mind, and a hint of joy arose in Chen Ping'an's heart.

+1!

+1!

"1600 points of training experience, enough!"

Chen Ping'an's expression lit up with joy, his eyes trembled slightly, and several lines of text appeared in front of him.

Realm: Yuheng middle stage - Spiritual fruit prototype
武学：万魔铸身诀入门（38/480）游龙身法大成（0/1600）、断魂刀大成（1600/1600）、龙象霸体诀圆满、金刚不坏神功圆满、三分人劫指圆满、大金刚掌圆满.
"breakthrough!"

After regulating his breath for a moment, Chen Ping'an's eyes lit up and he spoke softly.

Wow~
On the panel, the practice experience gained from the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique began to stir wildly, transforming into starlight that emerged and sank into the center of Chen Ping'an's brows.

Chen Pingan was already very familiar with this step. With the fusion of starlight and spirituality, a vast amount of perception emerged from his heart. It was not forced by the outside world, but it was like he was mobilizing his perception in his heart, and the relevant memory perception naturally emerged.

The Soul-Breaking Sword Technique means to cut off the soul, to cut off the soul!

"Soul-breaking Sword Technique, Perfected!"

The spiritual power of the spiritual platform and the true essence in the body were running together and vibrating against each other. The embryonic form of the spiritual fruit growing on the spiritual platform seemed to be rounder, and the greenness gradually faded, showing a hint of fullness.

The breakthrough of the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique did not bring much improvement to Chen Ping'an's martial arts realm. With his current martial arts realm of the middle stage of Yuheng, the perfection of a middle-level and lower-level magic skill is not enough to make him significantly improved. The gain generated by the gold finger panel is still the same amount. If it was placed at the beginning, it could produce extremely obvious changes. But now it seems a little insignificant.

However, the perfection of the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique also allowed Chen Pingan to successfully master the ultimate secret skill of the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique, the Soul-Breaking Blood-Crying Slash!
Burning one's own energy and spirit, a stunning sword strike that sublimated to the extreme! This is the Soul-Severing Blood-Weeping Slash!
Before you kill someone, cut yourself first!

If Chen Pingan had not yet reached the realm of Yuheng Grandmaster, he would have to face considerable backlash if he wanted to slash out with this sword. If he slashed out with two swords in a short period of time, it would even affect the foundation of his divine will.

But now, his spiritual flower has condensed, the embryonic form of spiritual fruit has been formed, and the foundation of his spiritual wisdom and divine will is solid. Even slashing out three times in succession would be too much of a burden for him.

With his current extremely profound foundation in divine power, he should be able to perform a flawless Soul-Severing and Blood-Weeping Slash!
Even though his realm is not obvious, with the Weeping Blood Slash, his combat power is comparable to that of a formal grandmaster known for his killing skills!

A pseudo-grandmaster like Fan Zhengheng can be killed with one blow of the Soul-Breaking Blood-Weeping Slash. A powerful pseudo-grandmaster like Feng Chengxiu can only withstand two blows at most!

As for the three swords?

No one can stop you below the Grandmaster!
Even if it was Lan Yingying, who was once the master of the Five Poisons and Earthly Fiends, who took his three Soul-Severing and Blood-Weeping Swords head-on, she would still be seriously injured and retreat.

hum~
The light in his eyebrows trembled, and Chen Pingan slowly opened his eyes.

"The Soul-Breaking Sword Technique has been perfected! My apparent strength can finally be displayed to be comparable to that of a formal Grandmaster!"

If it weren't for his current age, showing the cultivation of a Yuheng Grandmaster would be too monstrous. He didn't have to hide it like this. If he wanted to show some strength, he had to calculate the time and give the outside world a reasonable explanation and reason.

Counting the time, he is almost 23 years old now. Among ordinary people, he can be called a young man. But considering his current state, he is too young to be less than 23 years old. To those old monsters, it is not an exaggeration to call him a young man.

Less than 23 years old! If this age is put together with that of Grandmaster Yu Heng, it would undoubtedly be too shocking.

In the past eight hundred years in Canglong Prefecture, the most talented person reached the level of Grandmaster at the age of twenty-five.

If Chen Pingan could become a Grandmaster before the age of 23, his talent would be enough to shock the Imperial Capital.

Looking through the history of Canglong Prefecture, only one person who lived 1,500 years ago could match his talent.
Chen Pingan didn't really want to be in the limelight. He just wanted to accumulate enough confidence while being in the limelight. He wanted to have enough self-protection power when dealing with many malicious peeping eyes.

How the number one prodigy in Canglong Prefecture in the past eight hundred years died is still clearly recorded in the secret files of the Zhenfu Division and Qiankun Division.

However, if one day, the situation forced him to take the limelight, he would do it heartily, gloriously, and happily.

A gentleman hides his abilities and waits for the right time to act. When the time comes, he soars like a dragon in the sky!
Just as Chen Ping'an was regulating his breathing, there was a knock on the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir! Outside Weishui City, there is a guard reporting that someone from the State Pacification Office has arrived!"

"Master Chen, we meet again."

In the main hall of the Weishui Zhenfu Division, Chen Pingan met the special envoy of the Canglongzhou Zhenfu Division, who had a broad forehead and a majestic face. When he saw Chen Pingan coming, he smiled and greeted him.

"Lord Yu." Chen Pingan bowed with a smile.

This special envoy of the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office was an old acquaintance of Chen Ping'an, Yu Zhanhong from the Prefecture Pacification Office. When Chen Ping'an was promoted to the deputy commander of the Weishui Pacification Office, it was he who sent the appointment.

"Master Chen, we didn't expect to meet again so soon after we last met." Yu Zhanhong looked at Chen Pingan with a sharp gaze. He looked at Chen Pingan and noticed his current appearance, and was shocked.

It had only been a short time, but there was such a big breakthrough! This peerless genius was indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!
"Yes! Sir Yu." Chen Pingan waved his hand and invited him to sit down. "There were so many things going on that day that I was unable to fulfill my duties as a host. I'll see you again today. Sir Yu, please give me this opportunity!"

"Hahaha, of course." Yu Zhanhong laughed and agreed readily. He could hear a hint of intimacy in Chen Ping'an's tone. He was naturally happy to make friends with a genius like Chen Ping'an.

The two exchanged pleasantries and the atmosphere became harmonious. Not long after they started chatting, Fan Zhengheng, the commander-in-chief of the Weishui Pacification Division, and his deputy commander-in-chief arrived one after another.

When several people met, they exchanged greetings.

"Sir Yu, you have come from far away, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me!" Fan Zhengheng bowed and greeted him with a casual gesture, as if he had met an old friend.

With several people present, the main hall of the Pacification Office did not seem deserted at all. The atmosphere was warm and there were many smiling words.

As the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, the conversation among them finally got to the point.

"Master Yu, I wonder why you are here at Weishui?" Fan Zhengheng asked with a smile. In fact, he knew everything clearly in his heart. The news at the city gate was also passed to his ears by his trusted subordinates. While speaking, he glanced at Chen Pingan obscurely, and had a vague guess in his heart.

"Haha, Lord Fan, what else can I come here for? Of course I am here for the appointment from the State Pacification Office." Yu Zhanhong said with a smile.

"Oh? I wonder who appointed me." Fan Zhengheng asked, "Could it be that the provincial pacification office saw that I have been in charge of Weishui for many years and is planning to promote me?" Fan Zhengheng said jokingly.

"Lord Fan's hard work is obvious to all. His promotion is only a matter of time." Yu Zhanhong praised Fan Zhengheng but did not let his words fall on deaf ears.

"If it's not Mr. Fan, then who else could it be?" Fan Zhengheng pretended to be disappointed, livening up the atmosphere. While speaking, he also glanced at Chen Pingan in a friendly manner. Liu Yuanhua also cooperated on the side.

Outsiders all think that all big people are meticulous, solemn and dignified. But in fact, when they get along with people of the same level, they can occasionally be funny.

"Who else? It's our famous Master Chen Ping'an!"

Yu Zhanhong spoke with a smile and explained the appointment in detail.

Fan Zhengheng and Liu Yuanhua sat aside and listened quietly with gentle smiles on their faces. But when Yu Zhanhong talked about the details, the smiles on their faces were replaced by deep astonishment, their eyes were full of shock, and a storm was set off in their hearts.

Mang Dao Chen Ping'an was promoted to the position of deputy governor of the important town of Beicang. He took control of Beicang and took charge of the area!
In just two days, the news of the promotion of Mang Dao Chen Pingan spread throughout the entire Weishui County.

Five days later, the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office issued a notice to inform the prefecture and local Pacification Offices.

"Rewards and punishments are the key to a country's life and the basis of trust and loyalty. Chen Ping'an, deputy commander of the Weishui Pacification Division, is both wise and brave, and has extraordinary strategies. After review by the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Division, he is promoted to deputy commander of the Beicang town! He has full authority to control all matters in the Beicang town. This appointment takes effect immediately, and everyone should be informed!"
