Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

This strike, imbued with terrifying crimson true essence, directly cleaved through the air, resembling a massive crimson crescent moon that traversed space.

It clashed fiercely with Gu Chen's sword technique.

clang!

A terrifying wave spread outwards, as the violent crimson true essence collided with Gu Chen's alien true essence.

The surrounding coconut trees were completely uprooted and stripped bare of their leaves.

boom!

The fight ended in a single clash.

Yamamoto Okamura was sent flying backward by Gu Chen's sword, crashing to the ground and sliding a distance on the beach before coming to a stop.

His katana was knocked aside by Gu Chen's Fire Profound Blade.

A deep wound, exposing bone, appeared deep in his chest, bleeding continuously. The surrounding area was blackened flesh ravaged by the violent intent of the Destructive Blade and the power of thunder.

Blood kept flowing from my shoulder to my chest.

A violent, alien essence invaded his body.

It is constantly damaging his body.

This knife wound caused him more than just a superficial injury.

The meridians and flesh were destroyed by the white tiger's killing power in the area of ​​Gu Chen's alien true essence.

He's not going to live much longer!

"Lord Okamura!" Several powerful figures from the island nation rushed forward, trying to help him up.

Yamamoto Okamura was helped up from the ground by several people and sat upright.

She looked at Gu Chen in despair.

Gu Chen has truly become this powerful.

He was powerless to reverse the situation.

Everyone from the Yamamoto family present today must die!

"With this little strength, who gave you the courage to set a trap for me?" Gu Chen said calmly, looking at him.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. I lost, so there's nothing to say," Yamamoto Okamura said weakly.

He didn't explain.

He didn't beg for mercy.

He knew that even if they begged for mercy, Gu Chen would not let them go.

There's no need to lose your dignity and beg for mercy.

He just hadn't expected that Gu Chen was hiding his true intentions so well.

He was actually a master with the combat strength of the sixth rank.

He fooled everyone.

He deserved to die, having met such a formidable opponent.

He only hoped that the next person sent by the Yamamoto family would be...

He can take Gu Chen seriously.

Or, to put it another way, if they don't make a move, they don't make a move at all; but when they do, they annihilate it with swift and decisive action.

Otherwise, keeping such a person around will cause endless trouble in the future.

Seeing that Yamamoto had resigned himself to his fate, Gu Chen stopped wasting words with him.

He directly channeled his terrifying true essence to cover the Fire Profound Blade, unleashing a torrent of Blade Intent that instantly slashed at the group.

Apart from Yamamoto Okamura, everyone present was at the fifth level of the Innate Realm and had no power to resist Gu Chen.

Along with Yamamoto Okamura, the group was instantly killed by Gu Chen with a single strike.

Then Gu Chen stepped forward and searched the men, taking their silver and anything of value.

They searched their several wooden houses on the island again.

Take inventory.

Gu Chen obtained over ten thousand taels of silver, a secret manual, and some pills.

Six Primordial Grade 5 Divine Cleansing Pills and two Primordial Grade 2 Breakthrough Pills.

The harvest wasn't very large.

Fortunately, there is a secret technique that is not bad.

Gu Chen casually flipped through the manual.

"It's a fifth-grade martial art." Gu Chen was pleasantly surprised.

This martial art is called "Shadow Assassination Technique".

It can separate into multiple figures to attack the enemy.

Upon entering, a phantom image can be separated.

Xiao Cheng was able to separate four illusory figures.

The Great Achievement can separate six illusory images.

Perfection allows it to separate nine illusory figures that simultaneously attack the enemy.

It is indeed a decent martial art.

Most importantly, this martial art bears a strong resemblance to the powerful members of the Yamamoto family.

He also killed Yamamoto Juichi before.

If he were to cultivate it and then use it to commit murder and arson...

This martial art can be used to do it.

Then they shifted the blame to the Yamamoto family.

Gu Chen stepped forward and picked up the samurai sword from Yamamoto Okamura.

His katana was actually of the Xuan-level high grade.

It was only one grade lower than his top-grade Xuan-level Fire Xuan Blade.

You can pick it up then and keep it in a copper bowl when you need it.

He could take it out when needed, which would be perfect for using the martial arts of the Yamamoto family that he had just acquired.

At this time.

Qingyun Sword Sect, Feidu Peak.

Outside a house.

Liu Chen was brought back by Liu Xiong.

The two had just gone inside.

A middle-aged woman then looked at Liu Xiong and asked, "What did the Peak Master say? Will he take care of my son's affairs or not?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiong shook his head and said, "Gu Chen's master, Shangguan Wuqing, has broken through to the Earth Venerable Realm and has been transferred to Zhongzhou to serve as the decision-maker of the Night Watch. The Peak Master advised us to let go of this matter and not to cause any more trouble for Gu Chen."

"Put him down!" The middle-aged woman was furious. Looking at her son, Liu Chen, lying on the ground with his hands and feet crushed by Gu Chen, she said, "My son was injured like this by Gu Chen for no reason. Is the Peak Master afraid of causing trouble, so he wants our family to swallow our anger?"

Upon hearing this...

Liu Xiong's eyes were also bloodshot.

But what could he do? Go and seek revenge on Gu Chen himself? If he dared to do that...

What awaits their family is an abyss of no return.

After thinking for a moment, the beautiful woman said, "Take that top-grade spiritual herb you treasure, the Soul-Nourishing Grass, to the newly arrived Chief of the Night Watch in the Desolate State. He is not in the same faction as Shangguan Wuqing in the Night Watch. Tell him about Chen'er's situation, and he will help us."

"Will this work?" Liu Xiong frowned and pondered upon hearing this.

Shangguan Wuqing broke through to the Earthly Venerable Realm and was transferred to Zhongzhou to serve as a high-level decision-maker in the Night Watch.

The newly appointed Chief of the Wilderness Watch will certainly be appointed by the higher-ups of the Watch, who will send a prominent figure from another faction to fill the position.

The newly appointed head of the Night Watch may also suppress Shangguan Wuqing's former subordinates.

No matter how much we suppress them, they are still our own people.

Would the new commander-in-chief really go against Shangguan Wuqing's disciple for the sake of an outsider like himself?

He felt a bit uncertain.

That top-grade Soul-Nourishing Grass was the key he used to break through to the top-grade level; it wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it.

If this Soul-Nourishing Grass can help the newly arrived Commander-in-Chief deal with Gu Chen, then it's worth it.

They were afraid that the other party would accept the gifts but not do anything, and they dared not say anything.

"I've already investigated. The newly appointed commander of the desolate state is named Chen Lei. His wife is a good friend of mine. I'll go to his wife and ask her to persuade him. He'll help. Even if he doesn't directly do anything to Gu Chen, he'll definitely suppress Gu Chen and make things difficult for him," the middle-aged woman said.

"Alright then," Liu Xiong nodded.

He went into the house and took out the top-grade Soul-Nourishing Grass, then had his wife take it away from the Qingyun Sword Sect.

They went to the capital of Huangzhou.

On Gu Chen's side.

He returned from the island to his residence in Kyushu City.

After tidying up and washing up, I went to sleep.

That fifth-grade martial art obtained from Yamamoto Okamura.

He did not start learning immediately.

After buying the pills to break through to the late stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm, he still had more than 38,000 taels of silver left.

Now, with the addition of over 14,000 taels, we have over 52,000 taels in total.

The number of pills needed to break through to the Perfect Breaking Aperture Realm is approximately sixty-six, which is equivalent to sixty-six thousand taels.

Gu Chen prepared to first accumulate silver.

Let's talk about breaking through to the perfect Breakthrough Realm first.

Don't rush to spend money to learn and cultivate martial arts.

He currently possesses the Perfected-level Breaking Illusion Blade, which is sufficient for his needs.

He could earn 24,000 taels of silver a month by refining medicine for the Cheng family.

Including the six Innate Grade 5 Divine Cleansing Pills obtained tonight, they are worth about 1,500 taels of silver.

He kept the two Breakthrough Pills for himself.

You will only need to buy sixty-four pieces at that time.

Sixty-four Breakthrough Pills, at a 3% discount, would amount to over 62,000 taels of silver.

The remaining shortfall is over nine thousand taels of silver.

He can earn back his investment in alchemy in less than half a month.

At that time, he will be able to break through to the Perfect Breakthrough Realm in one go.

Looking towards the Five Elements Transformation Sea Realm.
