Human Clan Defender-Chapter 578 - s 299 to 300: Breakthrough Success? (Two in One, Asking for Monthly Pass)

Three days had passed.

The Heavenly Gate Pass remained enveloped in calm.

Although news of Great Zhou's downfall continued to ferment, it didn't have much impact on Great Qin for now.

Up to this point, not a whisper about Gu Xuanji's death had leaked out, showing that the secrecy measures were well implemented.

However, after talking with Dongfang Zhao, Shen Changqing knew that even though it seemed as if not a single word had slipped out on the surface, there were in fact undercurrents stirring in the shadows.

After all, if Gu Xuanji remained out of sight for a prolonged period, it would naturally prompt suspicion.

However, these matters had no significant impact on him.

When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

Now, Gu Xuanji was that tall one.

If Gu Xuanji had the audacity to fake his death to lure out the Demon Saint, then he must be confident in handling the Demon Saint.

If Gu Xuanji's plan truly backfired, Shen Changqing was confident he could retreat safely.

Therefore, he wasn't in any rush.

Of course, though he himself wasn't in a hurry, he could see that Yan Jing, Wei Yang, and the others were incredibly anxious.

Gu Xuanji's body was still at the Heavenly Gate Pass, and how to transport it discreetly was a significant problem.

Furthermore, they needed to send word to the Capital City first so that proper preparations could be made.

Only then could they begin transporting the body.

Otherwise, if the body arrived before the news reached the Capital City, it would undoubtedly cause even greater trouble.

Fortunately, the body of a powerhouse was unlike that of an ordinary person; even if left for a hundred years, there was minimal chance of decay.

Otherwise, there would be even more complications.

At that moment, Dongfang Zhao visited once again, bringing a package with him.

"The Sixty-Four Saber Techniques, all of them at least Innate Realm Martial Arts."

"Thank you, Lord Defender!" Shen Changqing looked grateful.

His efficiency was truly commendable.

Three days meant three days.

He fully understood the difficulty involved. Gathering the necessary Martial Arts from the various Demon-Subduing Divisions across Luo'an Prefecture and delivering them to the Heavenly Gate Pass in such a short time was no simple feat.

"It's a trivial matter. The stronger you are, the more benefits the Demon-Subduing Division will reap," Dongfang Zhao said with an indifferent expression.

"Alright, now that you have your Martial Arts, I won't disturb you any further."

Having set down the Martial Arts, he departed with an air of serene composure.

Shen Changqing didn't stop him. After seeing him off, he returned to his room and opened the package on the table.

Inside, he found numerous Martial Arts secret manuals.

"Blood Battle Blade Technique"!

"Eight Gates Mountain-Opening Saber Technique"!

"River-Cutting Mountain-Splitting Saber Technique"!

...

Picking up each Martial Art one by one, he saw their names inscribed on each.

It had to be said that, compared to other Martial Arts, the names of saber techniques either conveyed a sense of slaughter or an air of dominance.

The saber is the courage of all weapons, so Saber Techniques are truly distinct. In terms of sheer imposing presence, few other Martial Arts can compare.

A smile emerged on Shen Changqing's face.

Compared to swordsmanship, fistwork, and other forms of Martial Arts, he actually favored Saber Techniques a bit more.

No particular reason—he simply found Saber Techniques sufficiently domineering.

The courage of all weapons. It fit perfectly with his mindset.

Unfortunately, ever since the Blood Battle Blade Technique had evolved and become the foundation of his Divine Soul, he hadn't encountered any more powerful saber techniques. Instead, to save Slaughter Value, he had stubbornly focused on fist and leg techniques.

It wasn't that the Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger wasn't strong.

But Shen Changqing preferred Divine Skills like Saber Techniques more.

Now, with ample Slaughter Value and still unable to further merge and break through with the Divine Heaven Golden Body, he could prioritize enhancing his Saber Techniques.

Sitting down, he picked up one of the Martial Arts manuals and began to read through it.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Shen Changqing set down the manual; the words "Blood Battle Blade Technique" had already appeared on his panel.

At his Realm, as long as the Martial Arts weren't too abstruse, he could memorize them completely after just one look.

The Blood Battle Blade Technique sounded prestigious.

However, in terms of rank, it was only at the Innate level.

He withdrew his focus from the panel.

Shen Changqing continued picking up the next Martial Art.

He could memorize Innate Martial Arts in less than a quarter of an hour, and Grandmaster Martial Arts only took about a quarter of an hour longer. Shen Changqing spent the better part of a day recording all sixty-four Martial Arts onto his panel.

Focusing his mind, he looked at his panel.

The Martial Arts section was now densely packed with numerous techniques.

It's time to start!

Taking a deep breath, Shen Changqing rose and went to the bed. He sat cross-legged upon it, adjusting his state to perfection, then focused his mind once more and began fusing the Martial Arts.

Fuse!

Fuse!

Fuse!

...

As he willed it, his Slaughter Value steadily decreased, and the Martial Arts on his panel constantly merged, evolving into brand new techniques.

After the Martial Arts fused, the onslaught of memories didn't have much impact.

Ninth-level Divine Soul. It wasn't an empty boast.

A memory shock of that magnitude couldn't even cause his Divine Soul to fluctuate, let alone shake it.

In less than half a day, Shen Changqing had fused all sixty-four Martial Arts into thirty-two top-tier Grandmaster Martial Arts.

Thus, he had consumed three hundred and twenty Slaughter Value points.

Compared to the over eight thousand Slaughter Value points he possessed, three hundred and twenty points seemed rather insignificant.
