Chapter 72 The Murder Scene

He listened to the sound, felt the vibration of the blade, and constantly adjusted his power, the angle of his strike, and the speed of his swing.

Each cut felt like a genuine "conversation" with the blade.

"Too hasty—"

The wrist is not being used correctly.

The angle of the cut was off by half a degree.

The body's center of gravity is too high, causing instability in the lower body.

Through the "Listen to the Blade" entry, he can clearly hear the flaws in each of his strikes.

Even the most subtle errors are laid bare by the sound of "listening".

He swung the knife again and again, adjusting it each time.

Sweat streamed down his body, soaking the wounds that were not yet fully healed.

A sharp pain shot through him, but he paid no heed.

In this increasingly dangerous world, any improvement in strength could save your life at a critical moment.

Time flew by as I focused on my practice.

The night grew deeper.

The mountain area was exceptionally quiet at night, with only the rustling of the wind through the treetops and the occasional bird calls from afar.

Li Yuan continued to swing his sword.

He seemed to forget about time and the danger around him, completely absorbed in his "conversation" with the knife.

At that moment, the knife in his hand no longer seemed like a cold weapon, but rather a part of his body.

He can clearly perceive every subtle change in the blade through the "Listen to the Blade" entry.

The vibration frequency of the blade, the stress distribution in the blade body, and the tactile sensation transmitted from the handle —

Everything became exceptionally clear in his perception.

He can use this to continuously adjust his exertion.

Each time he drew his sword, each time he slashed, it was smoother and more precise than the last.

Time passed slowly.

Before we knew it, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

"Buzz"

Another slash was unleashed.

The blade sliced ​​through the air, producing a clearer hum than before.

Li Yuan sheathed his sword, opened his eyes, and looked at the bamboo sword in his hand, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

He could feel that his progress tonight was very obvious.

I'd never dedicated time to sword practice before, but now that I've made time to practice, I've seen such tremendous progress in just one night.

Li Yuan was secretly amazed.

Then he thought of the term "night owl".

Both are green-colored terms, and the "Night Owl Expert" term is so powerful, there's no reason why the "Listening Blade" term would be simple.

Now, after just a simple experiment, it has indeed come to pass.

With this entry, my talent in the way of the sword will definitely be amazing.

Suddenly, he felt his power draining away, and his strength dropped back to level five of the Ominous Sign.

Is it six in the morning already?

Li Yuan looked up and saw that the sky was already beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

Before I knew it, I had practiced all night.

He lowered his head and checked his body.

The skin that was charred black by lightning yesterday has completely peeled off, and the new skin that has grown back is tender, rosy, and smooth.

His injuries had actually mostly healed.

The recovery effect of the term "[Master of Staying Up Late]" is indeed impressive.

Li Yuan sighed, stretched his body, and felt that his strength had been fully restored, and he was in better condition than ever before.

He then sheathed his knife and ate the remaining food.

He quickly devoured the remaining food, barely feeling half full.

This is probably because my strength has increased; I need more food to feel full at once.

However, his ability to withstand hunger is not bad now, so there is no problem for the time being.

The real problem is that I'm still naked, and I need to figure out how to get some clothes to wear first.

But how to find it is also a problem.

Although there is a highway not far away, there should be passing vehicles.

But you can't just go around naked and interact with people passing by, can you?

With that in mind, Li Yuan slung his backpack over his shoulder, first approaching a position twenty or thirty meters from the road, and then continued to hide in the forest, moving along the road.

The mountain road was exceptionally quiet in the early morning.

Occasionally a car would drive by, but they were always heading in the opposite direction from Donghe City, probably evacuating citizens.

Because there was a woman inside the car, Li Yuan never dared to go out and stop it rashly; he simply couldn't bear the embarrassment.

Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead.

There were faint shouts, mixed with the sound of something smashing.

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously sped up, moving like a blur as he silently approached the location from which the sound came.

His hearing was now much better, so he walked for over a thousand meters before finally seeing the source of the sound.

On the road below, three black cars were seen surrounding a white van that had overturned.

Seven or eight burly men stood around the bread cart, one of whom was grabbing a man by the collar and dragging him out of the cart.

The man was covered in blood and was on the verge of death.

"You shouldn't have seen that," a man who seemed to be the leader said coldly.

"I----"

The man on the ground tried to say something, but before he could finish speaking, the leader had already drawn his gun and pointed it at his head.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out.

The man's body shuddered violently, his eyes widened, and then he collapsed limply to the ground.

"Firearms? Who are these people? And who was that man who was killed?"

Dozens of meters away, Li Yuan, hiding behind the bushes, squinted slightly.

At this moment, the leader put away his pistol and waved his hand indifferently: "Clean it up."

Two henchmen immediately stepped forward, dragging the body and preparing to throw it into the trunk.

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly unleashed a palm strike from a distance.

"boom!"

A fleeting golden lightning bolt electrocuted one of them, leaving him charred and screaming as he collapsed.

Before anyone else could react, Li Yuan launched a series of attacks, continuously unleashing Yang Thunder.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom----"

Three golden bolts of lightning shot out in succession, and three more burly men fell to the ground with screams.

"who----"

"Who goes there?!"

"They're superhumans, be careful!"

The others finally realized what was happening and tried to get away.

However, it was too late.

Li Yuan didn't even need to get close; he simply unleashed lightning from a distance, blasting away the remaining soldiers.

The moment it was the leader's turn, he slightly reduced the power of Yang Lei.

"Bomb One"

A flash of golden lightning struck the leader, leaving his body stiff.

"Whoosh!"

Li Yuan dashed out like a blur, instantly traversing dozens of meters to snatch the pistol from the leader's hand.

"Bang! Bang!"

At the same time, the bamboo stick blurred into a blur, smashing the guy's arms and legs, sending him flying with a scream.

"Ah—you—who are you?"

At this moment, the head finally recovered from its stiffness, but it had already lost its fighting ability.

Upon seeing the naked man suddenly appear, he felt completely bewildered.

While continuing to use his senses to prevent other vehicles from suddenly approaching, Li Yuan sized up the man in front of him.

Based on our brief encounter, this guy should possess the strength of a martial artist at the peak of the acquired realm.

With that kind of strength, they are no different from ants in front of him now.

If he hadn't wanted to avoid streaking and giving these people a spectacle, he wouldn't have bothered with the sneak attack.

"You just said he shouldn't have seen it?"

Li Yuan pointed his pistol at the already cold corpse on the ground and asked curiously, "What did he see?"

"I don't know—" The leader's lips trembled as he tried to evade the question.

Without wasting words, Li Yuan smashed the other man's knee with his stick.

"Click"

The sound of bones cracking rang out, making the already comminuted fracture of the other person's knee even more severe.

The leader let out a piercing scream, his face turned deathly pale, and beads of sweat instantly covered his forehead.

"I asked, 'What did he see?'" Li Yuan continued.

Judging from their previous ruthless methods of killing, they are definitely not good people.

Therefore, he had no pity whatsoever.

"I—I'll talk—I'll talk!"

The leader on the ground, seeing Li Yuan's cold gaze, completely broke down, clearly not a person of strong will.

"He followed us—followed us to the abandoned factory complex in the west of the city—"

The leader on the ground trembled: "He was there—he saw something he shouldn't have seen—"

"What is it?"

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Keep it simple. You don't want to keep suffering, do you?"
