Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 52 - 50: Annihilation of the Sect, Qi Observation Technique
Qinghe Branch of the Salt Gang.
The candlelight flickered in a luxurious and spacious room, where Bai Guinong, his face twisted with rage, stood bare-chested, his eyes fierce and violent, and it’s been like this for days.
He had tried every method he could think of.
Yet, there was no trace of the killer.
He had completely given up.
But returning without success this time, he would surely lose face in the gang, utterly humiliated.
He was furious, unable to sleep at all.
"Damn it!"
"I’ll kill you!"
Bai Guinong roared, not knowing if he was cursing the murderer who killed Bai Ruyun, or cursing Qiao Beiming, who sent him to investigate, or perhaps both.
"Hmph!"
The woman let out a muffled groan, her lips bitten to the point of bleeding, the crimson blood making her already swollen lips look even more alluring.
"Bai Guinong, the Law Enforcement Elder of the Salt Gang..."
Under the guidance of Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi, Zhou Chen had already infiltrated the room, yet Bai Guinong, solely focused on tormenting the woman to vent his frustration, remained completely unaware.
"Ninth Level of Body Refining and God Refining, a martial artist’s senses are keen, especially when there’s a threat to their life. If I pull out my bow to shoot him, he will likely sense it the moment I do..."
This sensitivity becomes sharper with higher cultivation; although Zhou Chen was concealed by Ji Fengxia, making Bai Guinong unable to notice, that was only because he hadn’t made a move.
Once he acted, Bai Guinong would certainly react.
Moreover, with his Seventh-Layer Body Refining Cultivation, it’s highly unlikely to take Bai Guinong down in one shot, but if he merged with Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi to enhance his cultivation, Bai Guinong would undoubtedly notice.
"Perhaps, I can do it this way..."
Initially, Zhou Chen planned to lure Bai Guinong and Wang Kang’an out of Qinghe City, merging the powers of Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi outside the city to violently slay them.
After all, there were many martial artists in Qinghe City, and Zhou Chen didn’t want everyone to see him using Yi Arrow Skill to kill.
By killing outside the city with Yi Arrow Skill and destroying the bodies, even if others guessed, there would be no evidence.
He’s apprenticed to Cyan Cloud Sect; the Salt Gang wouldn’t dare to touch him.
Once he hid at Cyan Cloud Sect for a while, not only the Salt Gang but Cyan Cloud Sect itself couldn’t take him down.
However, upon seeing Bai Guinong’s vigilant reduction while torturing the woman, Zhou Chen had a spark of inspiration, coming up with a new thought.
"Fengxia, keep an eye, cover me while I approach Bai Guinong, just ensure he doesn’t notice."
Zhou Chen’s aura had already been restrained to the extreme, and Ji Fengxia’s powerful soul force concealed Zhou Chen as he slowly approached.
Zhou Chen harbored no murderous intent, he even entirely erased the thought of killing Bai Guinong from his mind, focusing instead on the woman.
Sure enough.
Bai Guinong remained completely unaware.
Suddenly.
Zhou Chen saw Bai Guinong shudder violently, gripping the woman’s head and pressing it against the table.
Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up; he understood clearly what was happening.
"A perfect opportunity!"
He dashed forward in a stride, instantly grabbing Bai Guinong’s arm.
"Who!"
Bai Guinong shuddered from head to toe, his soul almost leaving his body. As he was about to resist, he felt as though struck by lightning, his whole body went numb.
The formidable strength he had always prided himself on couldn’t be exerted at all.
"The Thunder Light Ruyi Hand is indeed formidable!"
Zhou Chen was overjoyed inside, his hands not slowing as he gripped Bai Guinong’s neck and gave it a hard twist.
Crack!
His neck twisted, Bai Guinong’s head rotated three hundred sixty degrees, meeting Zhou Chen eye to eye.
"It’s you!"
Gazing at that wax-yellow, masked face still conscious, Bai Guinong instantly recognized Zhou Chen’s alias, Han Feiyu.
"It’s me!"
Golden flames surged from Zhou Chen’s palm, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Guinong was reduced to ashes, scattered with the wind.
As for the woman, she had already fainted, beaten to death by Bai Guinong.
"With divine techniques in hand, the world belongs to me."
Watching Bai Guinong vanish without a trace, Zhou Chen felt emotional inside.
He had initially prepared for a hard fight, not expecting to directly kill Bai Guinong using Ji Fengxia’s terrifying soul power and the powerful divine technique Thunder Light Ruyi Hand.
"From here on, it gets simpler!"
Guided by Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi, Zhou Chen repeated the process, snapping the neck of the sleeping Wang Kang’an, and then annihilated all other disciples of the Salt Gang.
Leaving no roots, the wind of spring will blow and give life again.
After killing, Zhou Chen would always burn the bodies, leaving no trace.
Half an hour later.
The entire Qinghe Branch of the Salt Gang was wiped out, save for some servant girls and women taken for pleasure, with no remains left.
Zhou Chen obtained two storage bags, belonging to Bai Guinong and Wang Kang’an.
Countless gold, silver, and jewels.
Several martial arts manuals.
"Killing and robbing indeed bring riches," he thought, never misleading me."
Zhou Chen left the Qinghe Branch of the Salt Gang, returning fully laden.
Li Changfeng and Li Changhen, the master-disciple duo watching from afar and even ready to help, were left dumbstruck.
They had imagined countless possibilities.
Li Changfeng even thought about Zhou Chen using his Sunset Bow to kill Bai Guinong with one arrow.
But he never imagined that Zhou Chen didn’t even use a bow, yet silently eradicated Bai Guinong, Wang Kang’an, and the entire Salt Gang’s Qinghe Branch.
Because Zhou Chen knew Li Changfeng might protect him secretly, he didn’t let Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi come out.
Li Changfeng and Li Changhen naturally didn’t know of the two’s existence; they just assumed Zhou Chen was masterful at concealing his presence.
"A natural-born assassin!"
Li Changfeng marveled.
He could clearly see that Bai Guinong was careless because of a woman, and with Zhou Chen’s powerful technique, he was quickly subdued.
Even so, Bai Guinong was a strong practitioner at the Ninth Level of Body Refining and God Refining Realm.
Zhou Chen’s success in the surprise attack further proved his prowess.
The process was not important.
What mattered was the result.
"Even though Junior Brother handled the scene cleanly, destroying the bodies, once the news of Master accepting Junior Brother spreads, the Salt Gang will surely suspect Junior Brother killed Bai Ruyun. They might even suspect we helped him kill Bai Guinong and Wang Kang’an to silence them!"
Li Changhen said calmly.
"So what if they suspect?"
Li Changfeng sneered with disdain:
"Does that old bastard Qiao Beiming dare to come for me?"
"If he’s smart, that’s good; if not, I’ll slap him to death!"
Although the Salt Gang boasts about being second only to the Cyan Cloud Sect, the gap is vast, and Li Changfeng alone could eliminate the Salt Gang.
"Let’s go!"
Li Changfeng vanished into the night.
Li Changhen still stood on the rooftop, the wind blowing her skirt and hair, swaying gently.
She recalled the move Zhou Chen used to seize Bai Guinong’s arm:
"His hand speed is indeed fast!"
In Bai Guinong’s position, if Zhou Chen suddenly attacked, she too might not escape.
"How did he train his hand speed to be so quick?"
If she could match his hand speed, it would significantly improve her strength.
"Need to find a chance to ask."
Li Changhen thought it should be a martial technique, and if possible, she could trade her martial arts with Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was unaware that Li Changhen was thinking of his Thunder Light Ruyi Hand, meanwhile sitting on the bed, counting his gains this time.
Not to mention the gold and silver, at least starting at ten thousand taels.
Countless valuable herbs.
However, what Zhou Chen valued most were cultivation technique manuals.
"Bai Guinong’s ultimate art, General Slayer Saber, superior martial arts..."
Zhou Chen examined the manuals one by one.
Only one superior martial art.
But this is normal.
Superior martial arts are precious, not commonplace.
But there are huge differences even among superior martial arts. If divided into four grades, the General Slayer Saber is only the inferior grade among superiors, while Yi Arrow Skill is the top grade.
Compared to the General Slayer Saber, his Yi Arrow Skill is indeed incomplete, with much missing.
Not only lacking ultimate arrow moves but also missing the most crucial Qi Condensing Technique for superior martial arts.
Inferior martial arts cannot advance to the Seventh-Layer of Body Refining because there is no Qi Condensing Technique, making it impossible to advance to the Seventh-Layer of Body Refining and Organs Refining.
Intermediate martial arts cannot advance to the Ninth Level of Body Refining because there is no Qi Condensing Technique, making it impossible to advance to the Ninth Level of Body Refining and God Refining.
When returning to Divine Arrow Peak at Cyan Cloud Sect, Zhou Chen will surely obtain the complete Yi Arrow Skill.
"Qi Observation Technique?"
Putting down the General Slayer Saber, Zhou Chen noticed a very old manual and opened it out of curiosity.
"All things in the world have Qi, strong things have strong Qi, evil things have evil Qi, observing the Qi of all things can discern their strength and morality..."
Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up, unknowingly engrossed, and by the time he finished the manual, the sky was already bright.
"Didn’t expect Bai Guinong to have such a thing!"
Zhou Chen felt he had obtained a treasure, but the practice was very difficult.
Probably Bai Guinong didn’t master it.
Zhou Chen looked at the spell section.
[Qi Observation Technique First Layer (0/10000)]
"Damn it!"
"I’m still so damn poor!"
Putting away the Qi Observation Technique, Zhou Chen’s soul entered the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.
Since so poor.
He could only let Liu Ruyi and the others suffer a bit longer.
While Zhou Chen prepared to reward them well for their hard work last night, the disappearance of all powerful disciples from the Salt Gang’s Qinghe Branch was discovered.
In an instant, Qinghe City was in an uproar!
The sky was changing!
...
