Xue Tu finally understood why Su Wuchen had been able to wipe out his entire Blood Wolf Gang all by himself!
He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Young Master Su, spare my life!"
He was only at the Blood Accumulation Realm, eighth level, and was no match for Su Wuchen, so he could only beg for his life.
But Su Wuchen remained unmoved, saying, "Now, in the Area of a Hundred Li, everyone knows that your Blood Wolf Gang specializes in burning, killing, and looting, committing all sorts of evil deeds. Today, I've destroyed your infamous gang, which can be considered as eliminating a public menace!"
Xue Tu's body trembled, and his expression instantly turned vicious. "Boy, since you insist on going all out, then I'll fight you to the death!"
He suddenly rose to his feet, wielding a large knife, and slashed at Su Wuchen.
"Looking for death!" Su Wuchen sidestepped to avoid the attack, then swung his sword.
Before Xue Tu could react, his head had already flown off...
After killing Xue Tu, Su Wuchen first picked up the spatial rings from everyone. Then, he planned to absorb the power from their bodies to break through to the Mortal Martial Realm. He sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to cultivate.
Two hours later, he finally opened his eyes, a look of bewilderment on his face. "I'm only a step away from the Mortal Martial Realm, but after absorbing the power of so many people, although my strength has increased, why haven't I broken through?"
Su Wuchen was somewhat frustrated, but he didn't dwell on the problem. Instead, he opened all the spatial rings belonging to the Blood Wolf Gang members.
These spatial rings mostly contained gold, silver, and jewelry. Among them, the most useful items for him were naturally the spirit stones.
After all, spirit stones contained a large amount of spiritual energy. They could be used as currency and also be absorbed by martial practitioners to quickly improve their cultivation. They were one of the most common and frequently used cultivation resources in the entire martial world.
The grades of spirit stones, from lowest to highest, were: Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, High-Grade Spirit Stones, and Top-Grade Spirit Stones...
The higher the grade of the spirit stone, the more spiritual energy it contained.
"Two thousand five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones and one hundred and six Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"
Su Wuchen said calmly, "If I absorb all these spirit stones, I wonder if I can break through to the Mortal Martial Realm?"
With this thought, he began to circulate the Chaos Overlord Body Technique and started absorbing the spirit stones to cultivate.
After an hour, a powerful aura unlike anything he'd felt before suddenly erupted from within him.
"I finally broke through!"
Su Wuchen's eyes snapped open, a look of joy on his face. "My Dantian has expanded nearly sixfold, and my spiritual energy has increased more than tenfold. So this is the Mortal Martial Realm?"
"No, my Mortal Martial Realm isn't ordinary! After all, with my current cultivation at the first level of the Mortal Martial Realm, if I were to face Lu Shan in his prime, I'm absolutely certain I could秒杀 him! If I meet a strong person in the second or third level of the Mortal Martial Realm, I might even have a chance to fight!"
Thinking this, a satisfied smile spread across his face.
"Alright, it's time to set off now."
He got up and started traveling overnight, heading in the direction of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect.
The Wind and Thunder Sword Sect was located in the eastern part of the Tianhe Dynasty, so Su Wuchen kept heading east.
After two days of travel, he passed through the Red Leaf Forest. At this moment, he suddenly stopped, his brow furrowing slightly.
Because he heard the sound of hurried footsteps ahead. Soon, a young man in white clothes rushed towards him, then brushed past him and quickly disappeared from his sight.
However, he had just noticed that the young man in white looked very disheveled, covered in blood, and was clearly injured.
"Fleeing in such a sorry state, could he be pursued?"
As Su Wuchen was pondering, he saw two young men in black clothes running towards him.
The two men, swords in hand, sprinted forward, their momentum fierce. Just as they were about to pass Su Wuchen, they abruptly stopped, their gazes locking onto him.
One of the men in black spoke, "Kid, did you see a wounded man in white pass through here just now?"
Su Wuchen glanced at them and shook his head slightly, "No, I didn't."
Out in the world, people's hearts were unpredictable, and he didn't want to provoke anyone.
Moreover, judging by the aura emanating from these two, they were both at the second level of the Mortal Martial Realm. Their strength was not to be underestimated. Therefore, he chose to shake his head and feign ignorance. This way, he could avoid offending either side as much as possible.
"Stop..."
Just as Su Wuchen was about to continue on his way, the man in black called out to him again.
Su Wuchen turned back and asked, "What else can I do for you, gentlemen?"
The man in black frowned, his tone turning cold. "I'll give you another chance to speak. Did you really not see him?"
"No," Su Wuchen shook his head again.
The man in black was enraged. "Don't try to deceive us, kid! That man in white clearly passed by here. How can you say you didn't see him? Do you know the consequences of playing us for fools?"
Su Wuchen said, "Since you're already certain he passed by here, why bother asking me?"
"You..." The man in black was speechless.
Su Wuchen said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't know you. What happened between you has nothing to do with me. I still have a journey to make. Goodbye!"
"Stop right there!"
Another man in black flashed forward, directly in front of Su Wuchen, and said coldly, "Kid, you're clearly protecting that man in white. Tell us, are you in cahoots? Where is he?"
Su Wuchen frowned. "I already told you, I don't know any of you. Your business has nothing to do with me, get out of my way!"
"Still talking tough! You really are in cahoots!"
The black-clothed man glared at Su Wuchen. "This is your last chance. If you don't tell us, I'll kill you!"
Su Wuchen's expression turned grim. He could indeed feel the killing intent in the other person's eyes.
He said, "I have no grievances with you. Are you sure you want to kill me?"
"That's right!"
After a cold snort, the black-clothed man looked at the spatial ring on Su Wuchen's hand and sneered. "However, if you hand over all the treasures on you, we might consider letting you go!"
Su Wuchen narrowed his eyes. "If I don't give them to you, you'll just take them by force?"
The black-clad man roared, "Stop wasting time! Hand over the spatial ring!"
Su Wuchen paused, then calmly took off the spatial ring on his finger. He held it in his left hand and offered it to the black-clad man.
"You know what's good for you..."
Seeing Su Wuchen's surrender, the black-clad man smiled in satisfaction.
But just as he reached out to take the ring, Su Wuchen suddenly retracted his left hand, gripped his sword in his right hand, and slashed out with a single strike.
Everything happened too fast!
When the black-clad man finally reacted, his head had already flown off, blood spraying into the sky!
Then, his headless corpse slowly fell to the ground, dead as could be.
"Kid, you...you dare to ambush and kill someone!"
Seeing his companion killed, the remaining black-clothed man instantly flew into a rage and charged at Su Wuchen, slashing out with his sword.
But the sword in his hand passed right through "Su Wuchen," hitting nothing!
"A phantom!"
The black-clothed man's face changed drastically. When he realized what was happening, he immediately turned around and saw Su Wuchen casually waving his hand not far away. Following that, a sharp sword qi instantly slashed towards him.
He instinctively raised his sword to block, but his entire body was sent flying. His body shook violently, and his spiritual power erupted, allowing him to steady himself.
"Sword qi...you're a swordsman?"
The black-clothed man looked at Su Wuchen with a face full of shock and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Su Wuchen snorted coldly, "What I am is none of your business!"
The man in black raged, "Boy, I am Zhang Wuji, an outer disciple of the Black Fire Sect. You killed our Black Fire Sect disciples, have you considered the consequences?"
Su Wuchen was taken aback.
He knew that the Black Fire Sect was one of the five strongest sects in the Tianhe Dynasty.
He said, "I said from the start, I didn't want to get involved in your business, but not only did you refuse to let it go, you also coveted my treasures. Heh, just because you're from the Black Fire Sect, does that mean you can do whatever you want, arbitrarily kill people and steal their treasures?"
Zhang Wuji was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't do anything about Su Wuchen.
He could see that Su Wuchen was not only a swordsman, but also extremely difficult to deal with, so he didn't want to continue fighting with Su Wuchen, and then he ran away.
But as he ran, he still threatened, "Boy, you killed our Black Fire Sect disciples, just you wait, our Black Fire Sect will not let you go!"
Su Wuchen didn't give chase.
The other party's strength was also not bad, not someone he could easily kill.
He had just killed the black-clothed man on the ground, only managing to do so by chance.
Because the other party had initially underestimated him, they were careless and were then killed by his sword.
If the other party had been prepared, it would have been difficult for him to achieve a one-hit kill!
Without thinking too much, he picked up the black-clothed man's spatial ring and put it away.
"Who's there?"
Su Wuchen suddenly heard the sound of a dry branch snapping and looked in the direction of the sound.
Just then.
A figure emerged from behind a large tree.
Su Wuchen looked.
It was the white-robed man who had just brushed past him.
