From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Chapter 89 Golden Bone Realm, Breakthrough

Cao Zhen, one of the leaders of the White Scale Branch of the Seven Swords Gang, has reached the peak of the Silver Bone Realm.

However, he is quite old, already thirty-six or thirty-seven this year, so breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm is a rather difficult thing.

Generally speaking, it is best for martial artists to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm before the age of thirty.

At this time, the body's functions are at their peak, making it the best time for a breakthrough.

The further you go, the lower the probability of a breakthrough.

After the age of forty, without any major opportunities, it is basically impossible to break through on one's own.

Therefore, Cao Zhen has been actively carrying out gang missions in recent years, hoping to earn enough contribution points to exchange for resources to break through to the Blood Transformation Realm.

He had tried once before, but unfortunately failed.

This is his last chance.

"Kill this person and complete the task assigned to me by the leader. I should have enough contribution points."

"This time, I must successfully break through to the Blood Exchange Realm."

Cao Zhen stared at the approaching target, his heart pounding with excitement.

He could almost see the glorious scene of his breakthrough to the Blood Transformation Realm.

"Die for my contribution points!"

The moment the target entered his attack range, Cao Zhen made his move.

He wielded a long sword and charged out from the target's blind spot.

In the blink of an eye, the tip of the sword was already close to the target's neck.

In just 0.1 seconds, the target's neck will be pierced.

But at that moment, a large, black, iron-like hand suddenly grabbed the sword.

The blade rubbed violently against his palm, sparks flying through the dark alley.

Ultimately, the tip of the sword was only 1 centimeter away from the target's neck.

It seems that Cao Zhen only needs to exert a little force to make the sword tip cross that short 1-centimeter gap.

However, no matter how hard Cao Zhen tried, the sword in his hand could neither move forward nor backward.

That 1-centimeter distance felt like an insurmountable chasm.

Cao Zhen's expression changed drastically at this moment.

"Such great strength, such strong physical defense."

"9

He then abandoned his sword and fled.

All his skills were in swordsmanship.

Now that the sword is gone, naturally they must run.

As he ran, he kept shouting, "Murder! Murder!"

This is a case of the thief crying "stop thief!" and trying to make the target hesitant to act.

But as soon as he dared to utter a single word, he felt a fierce wind rushing from behind him.

A sense of crisis so intense it was suffocating him swept over his entire body.

"The intelligence is wrong; this is not an ordinary Silver Bone Realm cultivator at all."

He cursed inwardly and quickly dodged left and right, trying to avoid the attack from behind.

But no matter how he changed his form, he could not escape in the end.

With a loud bang, Cao Zhen was sent flying by a tremendous force, his entire body almost embedded in the wall.

The sound was loud and immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"What's going on? I feel a violent tremor."

"I felt it too, and I also heard someone shouting for help."

The neighbors were all talking about it.

Soon, a crowd of onlookers gathered in front of the wall.

By this time, Cao Zhen, who was embedded in the wall, had long since disappeared, leaving only a recessed mark that resembled a human figure.

"This must be the wall of Old Li's house. It's a real mess. I don't know who did this. It will cost a lot of money to repair it."

"No, Lao Zhu, is this about money? Do you think this is something an ordinary person could pull off? There were clearly powerful martial artists fighting here just now."

"I think we shouldn't stay here any longer. If they don't leave and come back, we small, weaklings can't withstand a single punch from them."

After saying that, the person immediately slipped away.

Seeing this, the other people looked at each other and quickly slipped away.

They love excitement, but if it might endanger their lives, they'll run as far away as possible.

Only Old Li was in the house, staring at the large protruding section of the wall, feeling like crying but having no tears.

But soon, he turned his sorrow into joy.

He found a silver rod rolled into a strip in a crack in the wall.

It bounced around a bit, and it weighed at least three ounces.

"It's out! It's out!"

Old Li gripped the silver bar tightly, excitedly muttering to himself.

Meanwhile, in an abandoned house, Cao Zhen was awakened by a slap.

Upon waking, the first thing he heard was a voice: "Speak, who sent you to kill me?"

He squinted and looked over. A figure stood beside him, coldly looking down at him.

This person was none other than his target, Chen Xun.

"You can't kill me. I'm from the Seven Swords Gang. If you kill me, the Seven Swords Gang won't let you get away with it."

Cao Zhen hurriedly said.

"The one who wants to kill you is Sun Yuan, the White Scale Henchman of our Seven Swords Gang. I'm just carrying out a mission."

Before Chen Xun could resort to any means, Cao Zhen immediately explained everything that needed to be explained.

At most, he would be punished if the mission failed.

His most important task now is to save his life.

"Okay, I understand."

Just as Chen Xun had guessed, it was indeed sent by Sun Yuan.

"Very well, since that's the case, then it's only polite to return the favor. You'll see what happens next."

A murderous glint flashed in Chen Xun's eyes.

The next moment, he kicked lightly with his right foot, his toe touching Cao Zhen's temple.

Cao Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, and then blood flowed from his seven orifices; he died.

How could Chen Xun possibly let someone who wanted to kill him live?

After killing him, Chen Xun began to loot the corpse.

"Pah!" Chen Xun spat in disgust after touching her.

They didn't have a single penny, let alone any martial arts manuals.

That's true, what kind of assassin would bring their entire fortune along when they come out to carry out an assassination?

However, it's a bit much that Cao Zhen didn't even bring a few taels of silver.

Then, Chen Xun left Cao Zhen's body there and turned to leave.

Once the body starts to decompose, someone will naturally come to collect it.

When he got home, it was already dark. Cao Zhen had attempted to assassinate him on his way back from Jingwu Tower.

In order to kill Chen Xun in one fell swoop, Cao Zhen had been secretly following him for two days.

Today he finally couldn't hold back any longer and was then crushed to death by Chen Xun.

Chen Xun had noticed him on the very first day he started tracking him and was already on guard.

Therefore, Chen Xun reacted immediately the moment he launched his attack.

Although both are at the peak of the Silver Bone Realm, the difference in their strength is not small.

Otherwise, wouldn't Chen Xun's limit-breaking martial arts skills be useless?

At home, Chen Xun continued his cultivation after dinner.

He practiced the [Swift Wind Blade] technique again and again.

Each time he practiced, his Qi and blood circulated through his body for one cycle.

Gradually, the amount of qi and blood remaining decreases.

Chen Xun didn't care and continued to practice his sword with complete absorption.

Until a certain moment, Chen Xun unleashed the final move of the [Whirlwind Blade].

Then, he felt his blood and qi begin to boil violently.

Chen Xun suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, he realized what was happening, and his face lit up with surprise: "I... I've broken through."

As he spoke, the qi and blood within his body began to transform spontaneously.

His body began to turn red rapidly, like a steamed lobster.

At this moment, Chen Xun seemed to have thought of something, and quickly took out a large bottle of Bone Tempering Pills, stuffing them into his mouth one after another.

Breakthroughs require a large amount of energy.

In the previous breakthroughs, he could barely cope with the energy accumulated in his body, and he only needed to replenish a large amount of energy in the future.

But this time the situation is different.

Breaking through to the Golden Bone Realm is almost equivalent to breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm. At this point, without a sufficient supply of energy, one will die.

Even if they don't die, they will be depleted of vital energy and blood, and their foundation will be completely destroyed.

As Chen Xun consumed one Bone Tempering Pill after another, the rate of transformation of his internal energy and blood accelerated once again.

This also indicates that Chen Xun's body temperature is getting higher and higher.

Finally, they set his clothes on fire.

Chen Xun quickly tore off all his clothes, standing naked on the ground, waiting for the transformation of his qi and blood to complete.

This wait lasted for ten minutes.
