Chapter 264: Beheading an Acquired Stage Expert

The blade ray sliced off Jiang Yusheng’s head!

Fresh blood sprayed out like a fountain jet!

Jiang Yusheng’s face was filled with disbelief. He was completely dumbfounded. He never thought Chu Yunfan would actually behead him. The pride that he had held onto as a direct descendant of the Jiangs was now meaningless. Only now did Jiang Yusheng finally understand that pride and glory had to be built upon having sufficient strength.

“Y-You actually dared to kill our young master. The Jiang family will never let you go!” the old man roared. Chu Yunfan killing Jiang Yusheng right in front of him was simply a slap to his face.

However, he was still helpless. There was nothing he could do!

“So what if I killed him? What else was I supposed to do?”

Chu Yunfan was extremely calm. He was not the slightest bit perturbed. Since he had already done it, there was nothing to worry about. It was not in his nature to be cautious or to bow in fear of tigers and lions.

As Chu Yunfan said this, he drove finishing stabs into the heart of the other Energy Refinement Stage experts whom he had sent flying earlier. If they did not die, there would be great trouble in the future. Since he had killed Jiang Yusheng, there was only one way to clean up the mess. After that, Chu Yunfan joined the Thunder Winged Beast in attacking the old man.

“Heaven’s Thunder!” Chu Yunfan shouted and charged at the old man with the saber in his hand.

Clang!

The old man blocked Chu Yunfan’s strike with his heavy sword. Despite his injuries, the old man was still terrifyingly strong. If he had not been severely injured by the Thunder Winged Beast, Chu Yunfan would probably not be able to deal with him.

The old man was shocked by Chu Yunfan’s terrifying strength. He finally understood why those experts sent by the Jiang family were so weak in front of this boy. It was likely that Chu Yunfan’s current combat strength had entered the Acquired Stage. Just in terms of destructive power, he might be able to deal with Chu Yunfan. But for those experts who were only in the Energy Refinement Stage, it was simply despairing. No one understood the gap between the Acquired Stage and the Energy Refinement Stage better than him.

The old man’s current situation was equivalent to him being attacked by two Acquired Stage experts working together. If he had been at his peak, he would not be afraid. But he currently simply could not contend against them.

Chu Yunfan and the Thunder Winged Beast were telepathically connected. They did not need to communicate to know each other’s thoughts. The Thunder Winged Beast began to assist Chu Yunfan in attacking the Acquired Stage expert. This was a genuine, Acquired Stage, top-notch expert. Unlike when Zuo Wenbin had been ambushed by Chu Yunfan, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Chu Yunfan had also temporarily obtained combat strength equivalent to the Acquired Stage. Naturally, he would not let go of this opportunity. His Heaven’s Thunder Saber Technique, which had already reached the Impeccable Stage, was transforming. After all, martial skills were accumulated experiences. And what better way was there to accumulate experience than fighting head-on with an extremely powerful expert.

The more he fought this Acquired Stage old man, the greater Chu Yunfan’s improvement became. Chu Yunfan discovered as he fought that the technique he thought was flawless was full of it. Even some parts that were originally not flawed had become so under the attack of this Acquired Stage old man. How would Chu Yunfan’s improvement possibly slow down?

The old man understood that Chu Yunfan was treating him like a whetstone to hone his technique. He was livid. Even in the Jiang family, no one dared to do such a thing to him. He was practically worshiped by the Jiangs and everyone within the family respected him. After all, his strength was clear for all to see. Though, he was not in the Innate Stage as Innate Stage experts were not common.

And this Chu Yunfan dared to treat him like a whetstone. It was simply outrageous.

But the old man quickly calmed down. He realized that this was his only chance. If he wanted to escape death, this was the only possibility. He could see that Chu Yunfan’s strength was greatly enhanced by the medicinal pills, but it was slowly dissipating. As long as he persisted until the end, he would be able to escape.

He swore that if he could escape death, he would kill Chu Yunfan and have his entire family buried together with him.

Chu Yunfan knew what the old man was thinking. He sneered and shouted, “Thinking of escaping? Take a good look around. Do you think there’s any chance of that happening?”

At this moment, the Acquired Stage old man suddenly realized that his chest had been bleeding non-stop for some time. The fresh blood had soaked through his clothes. He realized that he had been lured into a trap. He thought that he would have the chance to escape, so he had not taken any risks.

However, during the battle, he had lost control of the spot where the Thunder Winged Beast had clawed him. He could not control his muscles to stop the bleeding. His wound had just stopped bleeding when it was opened up again by Chu Yunfan’s terrifying strength. As time went on, he lost a lot of blood, and his physical strength was waning along with the blood loss.

There was no difference between him and Chu Yunfan. This was simply an impossible thing for an Acquired Stage expert like him. The only possibility was that he had been deceived by Chu Yunfan.

By pretending that the effects of the pill were weakening, Chu Yunfan had given him the illusion that he could escape. This had been a trap from the beginning. If he had taken the risk early on, he might still have had a chance.

“I’ll fight you till the end!”

The old man was shocked and furious. His heavy sword was akin to a mountain as it smashed down. However, Chu Yunfan’s Shadowless Saber swept out horizontally with lightning-fast momentum. The Heaven’s Thunder Saber Technique, which carried a mysterious trajectory, instantly struck the old man’s neck.

Slash!

The old man’s head was immediately sent flying and rolled away to the side. His face was in complete disbelief.

Boom!

The old man’s heavy sword fell to the ground and landed beside Chu Yunfan’s feet.

“It’s done. The Heaven’s Thunder Saber Technique has also broken through to the Perfection Stage.” Chu Yunfan let out a breath. After being stuck for a long time, his saber technique had finally broken through from the Impeccable Stage to the Perfection Stage. It was finally perfect.

Chu Yunfan stored the heavy sword in the space of the Mountain River Diagram. He did not care about the corpses and just left them there. The sounds of monsters would be heard in the distance. The monster swarm would converge on this place soon enough.

Chu Yunfan hurriedly went to help the unconscious Gao Hongzhi up. Together, they retreated to Base 15.
