Chapter 66: You're the one who blocked my way to gain experience?
【Avici Hell Three Blades (39/100), Seven Kill Blades (3/100)】
Xiao Bieli, dressed in a black outfit, stood on a small boat and sped down the Yuanjiang River at great speed, leaving a long white trail as the boat cut through the water.
"The Avici Hellfire Three Blades and the Seven Kill Blades truly live up to their reputation as demonic sword techniques!"
These past few days, I've been constantly fighting and have gained over 10,000 experience points. I've improved my proficiency in the Avici Path Three Blades by more than ten levels. Even in the midst of constant battles, I've unknowingly mastered the Seven Kill Blade technique.
These past few days, he has deliberately slowed down his pace, hoping that those who want to harm him will catch up with him, so that he won't have to go looking for them one by one.
However, it seems someone here is helping him conceal his whereabouts; those from forces like Gu Family Fortress who can keep up with him are always just minor figures.
Moreover, he launched two surprise attacks, but both the experts from Gu Family Fortress and the Twelve Linked Fortresses were lured away!
He only killed one fifth-rank official and a few small fry!
It fell far short of his expectations!
Just at this time,
Xiao Bieli raised his eyebrows and looked up.
A thousand meters downstream, a large ship was seen anchored where the river was calm.
The flags above fluttered, bearing the three characters "Zhenwu Hall".
At this moment, standing at the bow of the ship, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes with a full beard also saw Xiao Bieli. From a distance of a thousand meters, he cupped his hands in greeting and said in a deep voice:
"Young Master Xiao, I am Situ Kong, the head of the Zhenwu Hall in Manzhou. Please come aboard for a chat!"
Although they were a thousand meters apart, Situ Kong's voice sounded as if it were spoken right next to Xiao Bieli's ear, which shows how profound Situ Kong's skill was.
Xiao Bieli frowned.
He had heard of Situ Kong's name, but that was all. A Zhenwu Hall Master who was neither on the Dragon and Tiger List nor a fourth-rank official was not worth his attention.
Compared to other states, the Zhenwu Hall in Manzhou only had some influence with the Swordsman; other major powers only refrained from making things difficult for the Zhenwu Hall out of respect for the imperial court.
However, many powerful figures look down on the Zhenwu Hall from the bottom of their hearts, and this is partly due to the fact that its leader, Situ Kong, is a key figure among them.
Despite being the head of the Martial Arts Hall in Manzhou, he wasn't even a fourth-rank Grandmaster; he was merely a peak fifth-rank Grandmaster.
Although Manzhou does not have the Nine Sects and Six Gangs, forces such as Gu Family Fortress and Qingfeng Sword Sect are all led by fourth-rank Grandmasters, so it is normal for them to look down on Manzhou Zhenwu Hall.
Xiao Bieli suddenly gathered his inner energy and walked on the waves, landing on the deck of the large ship in just a few breaths.
Seeing Xiao Bieli land on the deck, Situ Kong smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"I have long admired Young Hero Xiao's name, and today I am finally able to meet him!"
Xiao Bieli's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said:
"Master Situ, you didn't come all the way from Changning County just to tell me this, did you?"
A flicker of displeasure crossed Situ Kong's eyes, but his smile remained unchanged as he chuckled:
"I'm here to see Young Hero Xiao on important business!"
"Young Master Xiao, do you know that you have brought great trouble upon yourself by killing Xue Zhou!"
Xiao Bieli said calmly:
"Since you've already killed him, if Lord Situ is truly capable, then please help me revive Xue Zhou!"
Seeing that Xiao Bieli was acting unpredictably, Situ Kong also put away his smile and said coldly:
"Xiao Bieli, are you aware that a third-rank Grandmaster from the Cangyuan Sword Sect has already arrived in Manzhou with the 'Tracking Gu'?"
"He will arrive in Dongjiang County within half a day at the latest!"
"Although Young Master Xiao is highly skilled in martial arts, he is only at the peak of the fifth rank. A third-rank Grandmaster has come in person. Does Young Master Xiao think he can stop a third-rank Grandmaster?"
Xiao Bieli frowned even more deeply and said coldly:
"Just say what you have to say!"
Situ Kong thought Xiao Bieli was frightened and coldly laughed:
"Do you know that behind Zhuo Qingyun is the Sixth Prince? Zhuo Qingyun's allegiance to the Sixth Prince proves that the entire Cangyuan Sword Sect is biased towards the Sixth Prince."
"Don't even mention that you can't escape the tracking Gu's search. Even if you manage to evade it once, do you think you can hide forever?"
"I am the Third Prince's man, and I have come to find you on his orders, to give you a chance!"
"What opportunity?" Xiao Bieli asked calmly.
Situ Kong reached into his sleeve and took out a small porcelain bottle, saying calmly:
"Eat this Five Poisons Heart-Devouring Pill, and you will be the Third Prince's person!"
"Once you become the Third Prince's person, the Cangyuan Sword Sect will naturally not dare to harm you. I'll also give you a Hidden Fragrance Pill; this pill can help you evade the Tracking Gu's detection!"
"Don't underestimate this Hidden Fragrance Pill; it's a valuable item worth thousands of taels of silver!"
“Gu Xuan, the lord of Gu Family Fortress, arrived in Dongjiang County a few days ago. If I hadn’t secretly had the Zhenwu Hall spread false information, do you think you could have escaped here?”
"Don't worry, as long as you behave well from now on, the Third Prince will definitely give you an important position..."
Before Situ Kong could finish speaking, Xiao Bieli's face had already darkened. He gritted his teeth and said:
"So, the reason why the people from Gu Family Fort haven't been able to find me these past few days is because you've been secretly causing trouble?"
Situ Kong laughed:
"Of course!"
"If not..."
Before Situ Kong could finish speaking, a murderous aura flashed across Xiao Bieli's body.
"So you're the one blocking my way from gaining experience?"
what?
Situ Kong did not understand what Xiao Bieli meant by those words.
Clang!
The red-sleeved knife was drawn, and a crimson light flashed.
puff!
Situ Kong's head flew into the air, blood splattering everywhere!
The speed of this slash was so fast that even Situ Kong's smile didn't have time to fade before his head flew off!
[Experience +4000!]
[Turtle Breathing Technique +1!]
[Ambidextrous Fighting Technique +1]
'Two martial arts techniques appeared all at once?'
This was the first time such a situation had occurred since Xiao Bieli transmigrated, which surprised him.
……
The Zhenwu Hall experts on the ship were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
They were all Situ Kong's confidants. This time, Hall Master Situ was ordered by the Third Prince to come to find Situ Kong, and now they are dead.
Although their Zhenwu Hall did not have much influence in Manzhou, even those forces with grandmasters in charge did not dare to openly attack their hall master.
Xiao Bieli, how dare he?
Killing the leader of Zhenwu Hall in broad daylight—was he planning to become an enemy of the imperial court?
"Xiao Bieli, you..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Bieli turned his head abruptly, a terrifying killing intent surfacing within him.
puff!
puff!
puff!
Filled with murderous intent, the five confidants of Situ Kong closest to Xiao Bieli bled from all seven orifices and fell straight backward.

[Experience +1000!]
[Experience +2000!]
【…】
"Since Situ is taking advantage of my free time to gain experience, then I'll just have to use you guys as experience points!"
Chi!
A blade of light appeared, instantly transforming into more than a dozen blades in the air, locking onto everyone on the ship.
puff!puff!puff!
Almost all the living people on the ship were cut in half at the same time, losing their lives.
[Experience +1000!]
[Experience +4000!]
