Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Before the captain could thank Yu Changsheng, a strong killing intent emanated from behind him.

Lu Sandao held a black cleaver that was over two meters long.

The Purple Mansion Gate loomed behind them, its terrifying power flowing into the black blade, which then slashed towards the captain and Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng's gaze sharpened, and he kicked the captain aside, his fists already beginning to condense his qi and blood.

The Purple Mansion Gate behind him slowly appeared, continuously releasing vast amounts of blood and energy that flowed into Yu Changsheng's body.

This caused Yu Changsheng's power to surge, and his fists began to change, with terrifying power constantly gathering.

boom!

The collision of a fist and a knife shook the entire merchant ship, nearly shattering it.

The ocean on both sides surged up waves tens of meters high as if they had exploded.

The collision of two vastly different forces generated an immense pressure that caused many of the approaching pirates to suffer ruptured eardrums, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and being forced to the ground, unable to move.

After exchanging blows, the two quickly separated, with Yu Changsheng retreating to protect the captain.

Blood was trickling from the corner of Lu Sandao's mouth, clearly indicating that he was at a disadvantage.

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Lu Sandao's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he gritted his teeth and said, "Who exactly are you! Why are you opposing me! Don't you know who's behind us?"

Yu Changsheng sneered, "What, you can't beat them, so you start bringing up your backers to intimidate them?"

"Where did your previous arrogance go? Let me tell you, I don't care who's behind you, if you don't obey me today, I'll kill you first, and then capture all your crew members to be slaves."

Lu Sandao gritted his teeth in anger, wiped his long sword, and glared fiercely at Yu Changsheng.

"Do you know why I'm called Lu the Three-Cut? It's because when I unleash my three strikes, even gods and demons can't stop me!"

Yu Changsheng sneered, "Fine, I've already made my first strike. I'd like to see if you can kill me with three strikes."

The Purple Mansion Gate behind Lu Sandao reappeared, gathering power.

The black longsword in his hand became even more dangerous, exuding a deadly aura.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Sandao leaped up, and his long sword transformed into a sword aura several meters long, which slashed heavily down at Yu Changsheng.

"That didn't count! This is the first strike, the Human Killer!"

Upon seeing the power emanating from the blade, the captain roared in terror, "No! My ship!"

Yu Changsheng was not to be outdone, and he also stomped his foot and shot into the air.

"Alright, I'll show you the power of my Five Extremes Demon-Slaying Fist."

"First punch, Demon-Slaying Fist!"

The two clashed again, and many pirates and crew members turned pale with fright and jumped into the water to escape.

The sea is the best buffer, effectively resisting the energy released in a duel between masters.

However, this was different from the previous intense battle.

Lu Sandao's first strike had no power to exert at all; its power was completely absorbed by Yu Changsheng's Demon-Slaying Fist.

Lu Sandao's eyes widened, wondering if there was something wrong with his cultivation. Why was his move completely powerless at the crucial moment?

"Damn it, how could this be..."

Before Lu Sandao could finish his sentence, Yu Changsheng kicked him in the mouth, sending him flying into the sea.

This kick wasn't delivered with full force; otherwise, Lu Sandao wouldn't have survived.

Yu Changsheng was determined to play along with Lu Sandao; these pirates were notoriously difficult to tame. If his ferocity wasn't thoroughly eradicated, how could he possibly get him to obediently mine in the mines?

The pirates beneath the surface were bubbling and gurgling, but the sea surface was unusually calm.

Many pirates couldn't resist and went up to investigate. The violent collision they had expected didn't seem to have happened. While many pirates were still wondering what was going on, they were captured by several Myriad Manifestations Sect Purple Mansion True Monarchs who arrived at the scene.

The captain was overjoyed; his ship was still intact!

This was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, and Yu Changsheng was even more grateful. Yu Changsheng cautiously peered at the sea from the side of the boat.

Such a master was someone he had never seen in his life; he could hardly imagine the extent of Yu Changsheng's strength.

Yu Changsheng shouted, "Lu Sandao, is this all you've got?"

"What happened to the promise of killing one person with three strikes? It's time for your second strike."

Lu Sandao was extremely frustrated at this moment. That strike just now was not the power that the Butcher of Men should have had. Otherwise, a single strike would have been enough to split the ship in two.

Lu Sandao swayed and leaped up, his Purple Mansion behind him beginning to condense once more.

"Alright, I'll show you the power of the second strike—a scathing blow!"

Lu Sandao slashed out again, and Yu Changsheng's eyes narrowed as he unleashed his Demon-Slaying Fist.

As the blade and fist clashed, the power of Yu Changsheng's Demon-Slaying Fist began to circulate.

The surrounding spiritual energy was instantly absorbed, and the power of Lu Sandao's strike was naturally neutralized, losing its power without even causing a ripple.

Yu Changsheng followed up with another kick, sending Lu Sandao flying back into the sea.

The surrounding pirates stared in disbelief. Was this really their infamous, bloodthirsty captain, Lu Sandao? How come he looked like a toy in this man's hands?

Lu Sandao lay in the sea like a large "X" character, unable to understand why his proud three swords could not exert any power today.

"Damn it, oh my god!"

Lu Sandao felt like his head was about to explode, and an unnamed fire was burning in his chest, wanting to be released.

"Again!"

"This strike, this strike will absolutely kill you without a burial place!"

Yu Changsheng sneered, "Your first two strikes almost made me fall asleep. If the third strike is this powerful, I think you should save your energy."

Lu Sandao charged toward Yu Changsheng like a madman, his longsword transforming into a terrifying giant blade, almost lifting the entire sea surface with each swing.

The raging waves crashed and the merchant ship was tossed about like a lone leaf. Fortunately, several Purple Mansion True Monarchs cast spells to stabilize it and prevent it from capsizing.

Lu Sandao rode the waves, his face contorted like a demon.

"The third strike, the Burial Slayer!"

This strike came with the force of a giant wave, and Yu Changsheng dared not be careless, gathering his fist intent.

When Lu Sandao slammed his fist into his face, Yu Changsheng followed up with a punch.

But this punch was just a light, fleeting one. Seeing this, Lu Sandao's confidence soared, and he almost thought he was going to kill Yu Changsheng and make him a victim of his blade.

The other Purple Mansion True Monarchs were startled upon seeing this, thinking that Yu Changsheng was unprepared, and rushed to his aid.

But Lu Sandao's strike was too fast; they didn't have time to react at all.

"I want you dead!"

With a single slash, a colossal wave crashed down like a giant hand covering the sky.

However, just when everyone thought that Yu Changsheng would be seriously injured even if he didn't die from this attack.

The surrounding giant waves suddenly seemed to lose their power and drooped down.

Lu Sandao's sword intent also disappeared, and the blow was immediately shattered when it struck Yu Changsheng's fist.

Splash!

The seawater poured down, soaking Lu Sandao to the bone, but what chilled him even more was his spirit.

The three slashes posed no threat whatsoever to Yu Changsheng, leaving him utterly desperate and numb.

Even if he were stupid, he would have seen the problem by now.

Every time his powerful swordsmanship came into contact with Yu Changsheng, it would instantly lose its power.

The root cause of all this lies in Yu Changsheng's fist.

His once-proud swordsmanship was nothing but child's play in front of Yu Changsheng.

He knelt on the sea, convulsing, and at that moment he already understood how huge the gap between himself and Yu Changsheng was.

Yu Changsheng slowly descended, saying disdainfully:

"What are you crying for, you grown man? It's shameful! If you really have any ambition, find a way to improve your strength."

Lu Sandao slowly raised his head and asked, "You're not going to kill me?"

Yu Changsheng chuckled lightly, "Kill you? You're a Purple Mansion True Monarch, how could I bear to kill you?"

"How about we make a deal? If you just do as I say, I'll give you a chance to get revenge."

"When you break through to a higher realm in the future, use those three of your swords to strike me, and vent your anger. Wouldn't that be satisfying?"

Lu Sandao swallowed hard, somewhat puzzled as to what Yu Changsheng was trying to do.

Who would create an enemy for themselves and then wait for them to take revenge?

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

Yu Changsheng said, "It's very simple. Go mine. To tell you the truth, the reason I'm so good is because I honed my skills in the mining area."

"The mining process may seem tedious, but it can temper your character and hone your swordsmanship."

"Every swing of the hoe is a swing of the knife. After swinging it ten thousand times, even a million times, how much improvement do you think your knife skills will reach?"

Lu Sandao was skeptical, but he had no other choice at the moment.

"Okay, as long as you don't kill me and my brothers, I'll help you mine."

"Indeed, he is able to protect himself wisely and wait for the future. He is indeed a figure who can dominate the seas."

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but offer a few words of praise.

However, Lu Sandao felt awkward hearing Yu Changsheng's praise, even though he had originally thought so.

But at this moment, I feel like a clown, all the pride I had back then is gone, and I feel utterly defeated.

The other Purple Mansion True Lords who arrived all breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Yu Changsheng so easily defused Lu Sandao's attack.

The power of Lu Sandao's final strike was so great that even the group of them couldn't say whether they could withstand it; the best course of action was to dodge it.

It's unbelievable that Yu Changsheng could resolve it so easily.

"Chang Sheng, you're really something else."

"We were worried for quite a while, but it seems it was all for nothing."

"Chang Sheng, what was that punch you used to deflect the final blow and fall to the ground? I've never seen you use it before."

"Yes, that punch was incredibly powerful; we are all ashamed of our own abilities."

Several True Monarchs of the Purple Mansion were extremely curious, but Yu Changsheng waved his hand repeatedly, saying, "You flatter me."

"That fist technique was something I only recently mastered, and this is the first time I've used it."

The group was even more shocked after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, this fist technique was actually created by Yu Changsheng himself!

You need to know how difficult it is to create your own cultivation technique. If it were that easy, sects wouldn't have any inherited cultivation techniques; they would just use their own self-created ones.

Although reaching the Purple Mansion Realm means entering the ranks of experts, most people will create some of their own techniques as their signature skills.

However, cultivation techniques of Yu Changsheng's caliber are extremely rare.

The others were filled with envy, admiring Yu Changsheng's astonishing comprehension, which allowed him to comprehend such a powerful technique.

They also envied Yu Changsheng for being able to master such a technique, which greatly enhanced his strength.

However, none of them intended to have Yu Changsheng teach them any martial arts techniques.

This is a tacitly accepted rule, since such valuable skills are not easily passed on to outsiders.

Lu Sandao listened silently, observing the situation in secret. As a pirate who had survived to this day, he naturally possessed extraordinary abilities.

From their conversation, it was clear how highly regarded Yu Changsheng was among them.

The group of people were clearly older than Yu Changsheng, yet they seemed to subtly respect him.

This convinced Lu Sandao that Yu Changsheng was no ordinary person and should not be offended easily.

"Elders, what's the situation with those pirates?"

"They've all surrendered and are under control; they're all waiting for you to deal with them."

"Chang Sheng, this time we've captured over a hundred people, that's quite a number."

"With the addition of a Purple Mansion expert, the immediate crisis has been resolved."

"However, that might not be enough to fulfill the requirements."

Yu Changsheng nodded slowly. Lu Sandao had quite a few subordinates, but unfortunately, he only had one Purple Mansion expert.

Otherwise, the harvest this time could have been much greater, since the mining speed of a single Purple Mansion expert might be greater than that of all one hundred people combined.

"Very well, elders. How about you send some of your men to escort these pirates back, while the rest continue to help me capture them?"

The other Purple Mansion True Lords had no objection to Yu Changsheng's suggestion and began to take action.

At this moment, Yu Changsheng also returned to the merchant ship.

When the captain saw Yu Changsheng arrive, he scrambled to his feet and bowed, saying:

"Li Zixin of Fuyuan Trading Company greets Steward Yu."

Yu Changsheng smiled and helped him up, greeting him:

"Have you been injured before?"

Li Zixin said apologetically, "Fortunately, it was just a minor fall and nothing serious. Thank you for your concern."

"If it weren't for Steward Yu this time, my Fuyuan Trading Company would have suffered heavy losses. I really don't know how to express my gratitude."

Li Zixin pulled out a money pouch from his pocket and respectfully handed it over without a second thought.

"This is just a small gift to express my sincerity. I hope you won't find it too much, but it's really inconvenient to carry too much money while sailing at sea."

"If Steward Yu comes to our Fuyuan Trading Company in the future, we will make up for the deficiencies."

Yu Changsheng glanced at it and guessed that there weren't many spirit stones in that bag. He didn't know if what Li Zixin said was true or false.

With so many True Monarchs of the Purple Mansions making a move, what's the point of accepting such a small amount of spirit stones? They'd even feel it would be beneath them.

So he decided not to accept it anymore, as Yu Changsheng had other plans.

"Hehe, Captain, you're too kind. We disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect are only acting on behalf of Heaven, upholding the spirit of a gentleman, and following the path of a sage."

"How can we accept this money? It would be a disgrace to the disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. Captain, please take it back."

Li Zixin was taken aback, then said with inexplicable admiration, "You gentlemen are truly masters; I admire you greatly."

"However, I am truly ashamed to have received such assistance from you all. I wonder how I can repay you?"

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "What's this talk about repaying or not repaying? We don't need anyone's help. Killing these pirates is enough."

"However, I do have a small request, and I hope the captain can grant it."

Li Zixin immediately nodded and said, "Steward Yu, please feel free to speak your request. I will do my utmost to fulfill it." (End of Chapter)
