Only those who were very familiar with Wu Wenhua could have lured him out.

Only those close to him knew how much he cared about that black giant python, and would know that if the black python was killed, Wu Wenhua would run down the mountain even in the dead of night to avenge it.

The person who lured Wu Wenhua down step by step must be someone close to him.

And that close person must be somewhat stronger than Wu Wenhua, for if the assassin was very strong, they could have staged a murder for loot, without needing to use the black python to lure Wu Wenhua down.

The only explanation for the assassin doing so is that their strength is only somewhat stronger than Wu Wenhua.

Wu Wencai pondered over it for a night and felt that the killer was very likely to be right next to Wu Wenhua.

Thus, he shifted his investigation towards the Inner Sect Disciples close to Wu Wenhua.

On the other hand, having returned to his residence, Duan Gujin was considering which Martial Skill or method to use to enhance his Combat Power.

He had previously fought Wu Wenhua, who was only slightly stronger than him, for many rounds before he managed to eliminate him.

Although his opponent had a Low Grade Earth-level Dark Weapon, Duan Gujin felt that the reason it took so much time wasn't solely because of the opponent's weapon; he realized the real issue was that he lacked Martial Skills suitable for his current Martial Master Realm.

His current physical condition had a characteristic.

His Cultivation had already reached the First Layer of Martial Master Realm, and inside him, he had the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul as a trump card.

The Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul completely overturned his previous cultivation methods, allowing him to burst out power equivalent to the Martial Sect Realm.

However, to fully unleash all his energy, he must have the corresponding Martial Skills.

In fact, despite having many Martial Skills in his previous life, he now realized those weren't suitable for him.

The Martial Skills he cultivated in his previous life were mostly orthodox, good for consolidating basics in the early stages.

But now, he felt he should choose a Martial Skill that could fully unleash the potential of both the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul and the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul.

"If I had powerful Martial Skills before, I could have defeated Wu Wenhua in an instance! I wouldn't need to go back and forth with him!"

Duan Gujin pondered hard for a night but to no avail.

So, the next day, he went to the residence of Tie Yi, found a monkey, and asked how he could combine the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul with the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul.

"I'll teach you a Fusion Heart Method!"

The monkey was straightforward and directly taught Duan Gujin a Fusion Heart Method.

"Why don't you just tell me everything you know?"

Duan Gujin asked puzzledly.

"If I told you everything all at once, would you seriously consider what exactly you need?"

"You're right!"

After pondering for a while, Duan Gujin felt the monkey was absolutely right.

After a while, the monkey wrote on the ground: "Give me a bottle of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk."

"What do you want it for?"

"To drink!"

"Alright!"

Duan Gujin touched his nose and gave the monkey a bottle.

He felt that with the monkey's experience, it probably knew about the Divine Milk.

After returning to the Blood Killing Sect residence, he began to try out the Fusion Heart Method.

He practiced for half a day and finally mastered the Fusion Heart Method completely.

With his degree of Cultivation and Training, mastering a completely new mental method would only take a day.

"So the Fusion Heart Method can perfectly unleash the potential of both the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul and Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul!"

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of turbid air, then considered how he could unleash the power of the two Martial Souls.

Thinking of his previous fight with Wu Wenhua, he felt he could entirely use some sneaky moves against him.

Although he mastered some powerful Big Moves, those also had serious flaws, such as greatly consuming Primordial Power.

Sometimes, those Big Moves might not be applicable.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, then projected the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul outside, and then fused the innate abilities of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul deep within his soul sea into the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul.

After practicing in the courtyard for a while, he then started to think about how to use the combined power.

After a while, he thought he could use some Fist Skills of the Mad Python Boxing.

So, he started practicing Mad Python Boxing in the courtyard.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

He moved at an extremely fast speed, his hands constantly moving, bursting a series of whooshing sounds into the air.

As the speed of his punches got faster, he felt he was entering the zone.

Moments later, he felt a powerful force gathering in his palms.

He locked his Divine Sense onto a giant rock ahead and pushed with his right palm.

A hand-shaped apparition quickly formed in front of him, and with a thought, he rapidly slapped it towards the giant rock.

A loud boom soon followed.

That hand apparition struck directly on the rock, leaving a deep imprint within it.

The slap he had just delivered was fierce and powerful, transmitting immense force through the apparition directly into the rock, pulverizing the stone inside into powder.

Duan Gujin exhaled a turbid breath, his mind stirred, and his right hand once more gathered into a hand apparition in the void.

This time, he willed the hand apparition toward the giant rock again.

The slap he delivered this time appeared soft and devoid of any force.

Moreover, when the hand apparition slapped the rock, it only left a faint handprint.

Duan Gujin furrowed his brows, knowing that he had fused the dark force of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul into this slap; he felt the move he just executed should have been powerful.

Thus, he approached the handprint he had left on the rock this time.

He pinched the stone within the handprint, finding that with a light pinch, the stone crumbled away.

Breathing out, he completely crumbled the loose stones within the handprint.

After a while, he realized that his previous slap had actually penetrated half a meter into the rock.

He was overjoyed and soon understood how to utilize the fusion of the two different forces.

The two slaps he had executed had similar effects, but there were many differences between them.

Facing a formidable enemy, he could adopt an aggressively forceful approach, constantly assaulting the opponent.

The first slap he delivered was perfect for a quick attack; should it hit the target, the opponent would either die or be severely injured.

Fast speed and fierce power were the characteristics of his first slap.

The second slap, however, was more suitable for quietly approaching the opponent, or delivering a fatal strike at a critical moment.

"In my previous life, I had many skills. Now that I think about it, those skills were more flash than substance, not as practical as these two slaps—either extremely fierce or extremely soft. That monkey mentioned that the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul possessed a kind of attribute power called dark force; trying it now, I realize just how potent this Dark Force Attribute Power is! It seems I have mastered the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul's Dark Force Attribute Power!"

He reckoned that although he had mastered the Dark Force Attribute Power of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, he wasn't yet powerful enough to dominate all enemies below the Martial Sect Realm.

He initially intended to descend the mountain to cultivate the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, but upon reflection, he felt it wasn't the best time to leave the mountain for cultivation.

He suspected that the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall might have laid a trap for him at the foot of the Blood Killing Sect's mountain.

Therefore, he chose not to descend for cultivation but continued his cultivation on the mountain.

While staying on the mountain to cultivate had certain impacts on him, he believed that as long as he was diligent enough, he could compensate for these impacts.

He knew that Wu Wencai definitely couldn't bear the pain of losing his son and would undoubtedly spare no expense to find him; there was no need to take risks at this critical moment.

Duan Gujin guessed Wu Wencai's thoughts, but he was unaware that the other party was merely sending people to search for necessary clues down the mountain and had not set up an ambush.

Wu Wencai speculated that the culprit behind his son's killing must have been someone who had interacted with his son, knowing his personality.

And capable of such an act could only be the Inner Sect Disciples of the Blood Killing Sect.

Thus, Wu Wencai did not focus on the Outer Disciples.

Unaware of the truth, Duan Gu spent several days among the Outer Disciples of the Blood Killing Sect before accepting a sect mission to slay demons and left the Blood Killing Sect.

He did so to avoid any suspicion regarding his motives for leaving the Blood Killing Sect.

After arriving at Tie Yi's place, Duan Gujin saw that the monkey and the little squirrel were together.

His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly wrote on the ground, "Monkey, don't bully the little squirrel!"

The monkey gave Duan Gujin the middle finger, full of disdain.

It scraped its right foot on the ground, revealing a line of words.

"What are you thinking? The squirrel and I get along very well, we hit it off right away, we are both from the Devil Clan, I won't harm it! This squirrel has good innate abilities, I've already helped it awaken its Divine Wisdom!"

Ignoring the monkey's disdain, Duan Gujin frowned and wrote on the ground.

"Monkey, you better not teach it anything bad. If you plan to corrupt it, I won't agree!"

"Where is your mind going? Would I be that kind of monkey?"

The monkey again looked disdainfully at Duan Gujin.

"I really don't want you to corrupt it!"

Duan Gujin wrote earnestly.

"Don't worry, I won't hold it against you! If you don't want to upset me, give me one-third of all the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk you carry."

The monkey wrote.

"First, tell me, why do you want so much Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk?"

Duan Gujin's eyelids fluttered rapidly, a foreboding intuition flashing through his mind.

"That squirrel has already told me everything about what happened in the cave, you are a thief, you stole its Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk!"
