Chapter 113 Seven Bears and Five Tigers
"You little brat, you're asking for it!"
Chen Liang was furious.
Zhang Sanyuan's expression also turned cold: "Chu Xuan, you don't really think that just because you've broken through to the Transformation Realm, you're qualified to stand on equal footing with us, do you? You need to understand that there's a huge gap between Transformation Realm cultivators!"
"Stubborn fool!" Chen Liang sneered. "Old Zhang, why waste words with him? Let's kill this brat together! We can always run away!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved!
Chen Liang stomped his foot hard, sending pebbles flying. He moved like a tiger pouncing, his right fist, wrapped in a powerful gust of wind, aimed straight for Chu Xuan's chest. Before the fist arrived, his energy preceded it, the air being crushed with a dull thud.
A cold glint flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes.
good chance!
He was wasting so much time talking to the two of them because he was waiting for an opportunity.
One of the two, growing impatient, made the first move against him.
Both Chen Liang and his companion possessed the strength of the Great Perfection of Internal Energy, while he was merely at the "Early Stage of Internal Energy Transformation," inevitably leading to their underestimation of him.
Once one of them is disabled, or their combat power is greatly reduced, things will be much easier!
Now, this is the opportunity he's been waiting for!
Just as Chen Liang's fist was about to touch the hem of his clothes, Chu Xuan suddenly twisted his waist, and his blood and qi surged violently.
He moved like a bamboo shoot in the wind, seemingly off-center by half an inch, but precisely avoiding the most powerful point of the punch. At the same time, he raised two fingers of his right hand, as if cast in iron, and accurately struck the gap in Chen Liang's elbow joint.
"Click—!"
A crisp sound pierced the forest.
"ah----"
Chen Liang screamed in agony as his right arm went limp and fell to its side. He was in excruciating pain, and his face turned ashen.
Fortunately, he sensed something was wrong at the crucial moment and quickly withdrew his hand and stepped back. Otherwise, that one blow would have ruined his arm!
"Old Chen, you—"
Zhang Sanyuan's expression changed upon seeing this.
Chen Liang, like him, was a master of the Transformation Realm, yet he suffered a great loss at the hands of Chu Xuan, a mere beginner in the Transformation Realm!
"Don't let your guard down! This kid's suspicious! Let's kill him together!"
Chen Liang's face was grim.
"Too late to realize this now!"
Chu Xuan, not one to back down, suddenly concealed his aura before unleashing it again, his fist flying like a dragon, striking towards Chen Liang's chest.
Whoosh!
Just as Chu Xuan was about to strike Chen Liang's chest, Zhang Sanyuan rushed in with his gun, intercepting Chu Xuan's attack with a single shot.
"pity----"
Chu Xuan sighed inwardly, not wanting to confront the attack head-on. He used his Heavenly Ladder Leap Technique to dodge the blow.
"I misjudged!"
Zhang Sanyuan sighed, holding his spear, his face extremely grim. "Junior Brother Chu has been hiding this very well! It seems you noticed something was amiss long ago!"
They are not blind!
How could Chu Xuan's displayed strength be that of someone who has just broken through to the Transformation Realm?
Thinking back to the previous probing...
Zhang Sanyuan couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the two of them, who thought they had everything under control, had been completely outmaneuvered by a mere young boy.
Chu Xuan had only been a student for a few months, but he had already achieved the minor mastery of the Transformation Realm.
With such talent, he could definitely rank in the top ten among this batch of outer disciples!
"I never imagined that such a genius was hidden in our little animal park!"
Chen Liang drew his thick-backed broadsword from his back with his left hand, and together with Zhang Sanyuan, they formed a pincer movement, effectively blocking Chu Xuan's room to maneuver.
He licked his lips, his eyes burning with jealousy, and his face displaying a morbid madness: "This is wonderful! I love torturing geniuses!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he launched the first attack.
With a powerful stomp of his feet, his figure pounced like a tiger, his long sword raised high, its force penetrating the air with a dull thud, and he cleaved down towards Chu Xuan's head!
The blade was swift and fierce, almost cleaving a person in two.
Almost simultaneously, Zhang Sanyuan moved swiftly, his spear thrusting out diagonally from behind Chu Xuan, the tip of the spear gleaming coldly as it aimed at Chu Xuan's vital side, as fast as a snake emerging from its hole.
With a sword cleaving through the path and a spear locking down the flanks, the two worked in perfect harmony. Even experts of the same level would find it difficult to escape unscathed from this attack.
A cold glint flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes.
The Heavenly Roc unleashed its Nine Leaps, its footwork suddenly changing, its body moving like an arrow released from a bow, or as if walking on air, shifting three feet to the side in the blink of an eye.
The blade grazed his clothes and slammed down onto a boulder with a loud bang. The millstone-sized boulder exploded, sending stone chips flying and dust billowing everywhere.
Zhang Sanyuan's spear missed its mark, the tip embedding itself deep into the tree trunk. With a surge of power, the spear spun and vibrated, causing the entire tree trunk to explode into countless fragments.
However, it was precisely this momentary delay that gave Chu Xuan time.
His blood and qi surged violently, and multiple layers of force were instantly amplified, unleashing the intent of Bajiquan, fierce and violent, like a thunderclap.
He moved his shoulders and hips in unison, unleashing a powerful Bajiquan strike that hit Chen Liang's wrist, which was holding a knife.
"Snap!"
The sound of bones cracking was piercing.
Chen Liang screamed in agony as his wrist bone shattered on the spot, and his long sword flew out of his hand, tracing a cold arc in the air.
Chu Xuan moved with lightning speed, reaching out in mid-air to precisely grip the hilt of the knife.
With a tightening of his fingers, he neither chopped nor slashed, but instead used the knife as a club, drawing it horizontally. The blade, carrying a whistling wind, slammed fiercely into Zhang Sanyuan's gun-wielding hand.
Zhang Sanyuan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly withdrew his gun, but it was already a fraction of a second too late.
"Bang!"
The gun barrel was bent by the force of the blow, his hand was split open and bleeding profusely, and the spear almost slipped from his grasp.
"How is that possible?"
Zhang Sanyuan looked at Chu Xuan with horror, as if he were a monster.
Those two are at the peak of the Transformation Realm!
Despite their combined efforts, the two were completely overwhelmed by Chu Xuan!
What the hell is this monster?
Chu Xuan, however, was relentless in his pursuit of the truth. With his long sword in hand, his aura changed once again. He became like a sword that could cleave the heavens, carrying a sharp edge that seemed ready to cleave the earth!
Overlord Blade Technique!
Boom!
A slash was delivered mid-air.
The air ripped apart as a domineering and blazing blade of energy shot straight toward Chen Liang.
"Blade Qi? You're using罡劲 (Gang Jin)—"
Chen Liang screamed, utterly terrified, goosebumps rising all over his body. Faced with this lightning-fast blade strike, he had no chance to dodge and could only muster all his strength to gather in his arms and cross them in a block!
boom!
A violent collision sound exploded out.
The force generated by the collision created a huge shockwave that swept outwards like a torrent.
Chen Liang screamed in agony as his arms exploded, bones and all shattering into powder!
The sharp blade energy, with its remaining force, slashed fiercely at Chen Liang's chest, leaving a gruesome wound a foot long.
"puff----"
Chen Liang's body flew backward with a thud, and while he was in mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Whoosh!
Before Chen Liang's body could land, Chu Xuan's figure had already arrived in a flash, his right hand lightly raised, a faint, almost imperceptible cold light gleaming in his palm.
"puff!"
His palm strike was like a ghost, a heart-shattering palm strike that landed directly on Chen Liang's chest.
There was no loud noise, only a muffled, drum-like tremor.
Chen Liang's eyes suddenly bulged out, his face drained of all color in an instant, and his heart, meridians, and internal organs were shattered simultaneously. Before he could even scream, he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the roots of a tree and dying instantly.
"罡劲————"
Zhang Sanyuan also mistakenly thought that Chu Xuan was a Gang Jin, and was so frightened that he turned around and fled.
Despite his mastery of internal energy, he couldn't muster the slightest fighting spirit at this moment.
"Did I let you leave?"
Chu Xuan let out a cold shout, unleashing the Nine Heavenly Rocs, his figure soaring through the air like a ghost, catching up with the fleeing Zhang Sanyuan in the blink of an eye.
With his right hand, he concentrated his power into a palm strike and pressed down from behind, striking the opponent's back.
"Junior Brother Chu, spare my life!"
Zhang Sanyuan shouted urgently, "I don't want anything anymore! All that beast blood essence is yours! Please spare my life—"
As he spoke, he swiftly parried with his spear!
With a loud bang, Zhang Sanyuan was sent flying backward again, his spear flying out of his hand and into the sky!
With all his strength amplified, Chu Xuan, though only at the Lesser Completion of Transformation Realm, possessed power several times greater than Zhang Sanyuan, who was at the Greater Completion of Transformation Realm!
The next palm strike landed hard on Zhang Sanyuan's chest.
The powerful energy penetrated his body, instantly shattering his heart into minced meat!
Zhang Sanyuan's body suddenly stiffened, and blood gushed out.
He staggered a few steps and collapsed into the fallen leaves, unable to move, his eyes fixed on Chu Xuan.
"You still don't understand!" Chu Xuan said indifferently, "I've said it before, I want them all, including your lives!"
"puff----"
He spat out another mouthful of blood and died on the spot.
Chu Xuan didn't delay. He quickly searched the corpse, then searched Chen Liang and Li Fan's bodies, stuffing all their belongings into his own arms.
A bigger problem awaits him right now!
Anyone who frequently commits murder knows that killing is easy, but cleaning up the mess is difficult.
Chen Liang and Zhang Sanyuan were both managers of the Hundred Beasts Park, and now they're both dead! Two of his subordinates are also dead.
If it's not handled properly, he'll suffer too!
Logically, the best course of action at this point would be to report to Tong Hao and truthfully confess everything.
However, it's simply too incredible that a martial artist who had just entered the Transformation Realm could actually kill two Transformation Realm masters, Chen Liang and Zhang Sanyuan!
While geniuses are certainly the center of attention, they are also in the spotlight and are watched by countless people.
Chu Xuan doesn't want to give up his position as manager of the Hundred Beasts Park for the time being.
Here, he has a constant supply of vital energy, so there's no need for him to take any risks.
In the end, Chu Xuan made up his mind.
He found a den of strange beasts and threw all the corpses inside to feed them. Afterward, Chu Xuan carried two boxes of beast essence blood back to the warehouse and replaced the essence blood that Wang Kun had previously replaced with his own.
That's not enough!
He then took the ordinary beast blood to the warehouses of Beast Garden No. 8 and No. 13, replaced it with beast essence blood, and then searched Chen Liang and Zhang Sanyuan's residence to create the illusion that the two had fled in a hurry.
Finally, he hid the two hundred-plus bottles of beast essence blood that had been replaced in a secluded place in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, carrying only a few bottles with him.
After finishing everything, he returned to his residence.
"It should be about time, right?"
Chu Xuan reviewed the situation in his mind several times and felt there were no major problems.
The problem he's referring to is that Li Fan and Wang Kun have gone missing.
However, since both of them were outer disciples with no real background, even if they went missing, as long as the Beast Garden was safe, the Xuan Yang Sect wouldn't care much.
Chu Xuan could easily dismiss him with any excuse.
After thinking it over again and finding no problems, Chu Xuan took out the things he had looted and began to take stock of his spoils.
Both Li Fan and Wang Kun are penniless; there's no need to look into that.
His hopes were mainly placed on Chen Liang and Zhang Sanyuan.
The result was also a huge disappointment to him!
The four of them combined couldn't even scrape together 200 contribution points; they're all broke! Besides that, there are two other manuals, one for swordsmanship and one for spearmanship, which should be the manuals that Chen Liang and Zhang Sanyuan practice.
However, Chu Xuan had already witnessed its power; it was just so-so.
"Seriously, a bunch of paupers!"
Chu Xuan remained silent.
They were all outer disciples of the Xuan Yang Sect, yet the four of them combined couldn't even compare to a fraction of Song Hongguang's skill!
But thinking about it, if these two were really rich, they wouldn't have wasted so many years at the Hundred Beasts Park and only managed to become supervisors now.
[Slayed a martial artist at the peak of the Transformation Realm, Essence Value +346]
[Slayed a martial artist at the peak of the Transformation Realm, Essence Value +367]
[Energy Value: 2796/5000]
Then, Chu Xuan's gaze fell on several bottles of exotic beast blood essence.
The bottles of beast essence he was holding were all from third-tier beasts.
This is a good thing; its value is in no way less than that of the Lesser Qi-Nourishing Pill.
"Many body-refining martial artists choose to use the essence blood of exotic beasts to refine their bodies. I wonder if using the essence blood of exotic beasts to cultivate indestructible body would be effective?" Chu Xuan suddenly asked.
He had had this idea before, but never had the chance.
Because the essence blood of a mythical beast is not ordinary beast blood; only a few drops of essence blood can be extracted from the heart of a single beast.
He didn't have the money to experiment before, and even though he later became the manager of the Beast Garden, he really couldn't bear to use the essence of exotic beasts for experiments.
Things are different now.
Just do it.
Chu Xuan immediately took out a bottle of exotic beast blood essence, poured it into his palm, and then evenly applied it to his skin.
The next moment, it felt like medicated oil had been applied to his crotch. A burning sensation, as if raging fire was scorching him, yet also accompanied by a cool, stinging pain, came from his skin and instantly spread throughout his entire body.
His entire body turned crimson red, like a cooked shrimp.
"Hiss hiss hiss————"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but gasp for breath, the veins on his forehead bulging like earthworms. The intense burning pain made him instinctively want to wipe the blood off his skin.
Chu Xuan suppressed the impulse and immediately closed his eyes to begin circulating the Vajra Indestructible Mantra.
A moment later, Chu Xuan clearly felt streams of heat flowing through his skin and throughout his body. He immediately guided this heat into his muscles, tempering his physique.
Half an hour later.
The stinging pain completely disappeared.
The beast's essence blood on his arm turned jet black and solidified on his skin.
【Indestructible Vajra - Tendon Training (5973/10000)】
"It actually works!"
Chu Xuan's eyes lit up.
The effect of just this one drop of exotic beast's blood essence is equivalent to ten days of his cultivation!
"Could this be the correct way to cultivate invulnerability?"
At this rate, with these two hundred bottles of third-tier beast essence blood, he could reach the first level of Vajra Indestructible in a month at most!
The first level of the Vajra Indestructible technique involves training the tendons, which is essentially training strength.
An inch longer tendon means boundless strength!
If he can master the first level of the Vajra Indestructible technique, he will directly obtain the power of the Seven Bears and Five Tigers!
Chu Xuan roughly estimated that it was about 30,000 jin of explosive force!
"Holy crap, that's awesome!"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
Such terrifying explosive power far surpasses even that of a martial artist who has reached the peak of the Transformation Realm. In other words, at that time, under the influence of the罡劲 (Gang Jin) technique, he will fear no opponent!
He could beat someone to death with sheer strength!
