Breaking a Move

After that, Xu Bai spent the entire day working on the progress bar in his room.

Liu Er worked very fast. He had already exchanged the copper coins and brought the money from the bodyguards by the afternoon.

After solving the problem of the Rain of Maple Leaves, Xu Bai felt much more relaxed.

Although the bodyguards were curious as to why Xu Bai stayed in his room all day, no one dared to ask.

Time passed until night fell. Xu Bai lit the oil lamp on the table.

He stared at the Nameless Saber Scripture intently. He was only missing the last bit of the progress bar.

The flames of the oil lamp flickered, and the shadows kept flickering.

The next moment, the last of the progress bar was finally filled. Light blue words appeared in front of him.

[You have studied the Nameless Saber Scripture and comprehended the 24-styles of Armor Piercing (Incomplete).]

“24-styles of Armor Piercing? It is incomplete?”

Xu Bai stroked his chin and stared at the light blue words in front of him, recalling what Yun Xiang had said.

It seemed that this Saber Scripture was really divided into 24 parts. Yun Xiang was not lying about this.

At this moment, the light blue words gradually disappeared, and new words appeared.

[Fusion option detected. Fusion in progress.]

[24-styles of Armor Piercing (Incomplete) + Bone Breaking Saber Technique = Breaking Style.]

[Fusion successful!]

The words in front of him disappeared again, and Xu Bai’s stats appeared.

[Name: Xu Bai.]

[Realm: Grade Eight Wanderer.]

[Breaking Style (Rank 2): Maximum level.]

[Four Directions Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique (Rank 2): Maximum level.]

[Kidney Massage Technique (Rank 1): Maximum level.]

[Rain of Maple Leaves (Rank 2): Maximum level.]

[Four Xun Body Technique (Rank 1): Maximum level.]

[Four Xun Array Formation (Rank 1): Maximum level.]

[Comprehension: Maximum level.]

…

A huge amount of information invaded. Xu Bai digested the information for a moment before opening his eyes.

As the name suggested, the Breaking Style only had one move, but this move had 24 variations.

He guessed that it should be related to the 24-styles of Armor Piercing.

After experiencing so much, he was now a Grade Eight Wanderer, so he still had some insight.

According to the 24 variations of each move, there should be 576 variations of the 24-styles of Armor Piercing.

“It’s a pity that it’s incomplete,” Xu Bai thought to himself as he placed his hand on the handle of the Ghost Head Saber.

With just one move, there were 24 variations. If he could collect all of them, his power would definitely increase exponentially.

Of course, this did not mean that he was dissatisfied. On the contrary, he was very satisfied because this was no longer the 24-styles of Armor Piercing.

In the past, the Bone Breaking Saber Technique emphasized stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness. But now, after fusing with the 24-styles of Armor Piercing, the new Breaking Style not only had the characteristics of the Bone Breaking Saber Technique, but also the characteristics of the 24-styles of Armor Piercing.

Armor Piercing was just like how it was written.

Using his Genuine Inner Force as a catalyst, he could transform it into a fierce Saber Qi that could penetrate through armor.

Xu Bai felt that if he met that blacksmith again, he would be able to kill him with just his saber technique.

“How strong…”

Xu Bai unbuttoned his shirt and looked at the soft golden armor he had obtained from the Raging Tiger Bandits. He had an urge to give it a try.

Using the spear to attack the shield.

However, it was just a thought. He was not crazy to this extent.

Xu Bai was extremely excited to obtain a new skill, and it was even so powerful.

Although he was excited, he did not forget to get rid of the traces.

He took out a brazier from his room and threw the Nameless Saber Scripture into it. Xu Bai stomped his foot lightly.

The Four Xun Formation activated, and flames rose.

A moment later, the Nameless Saber Scripture turned to ashes in the fire.

“Hmm… Now, there’s only the tree outside.” After the saber scripture turned to dust, Xu Bai put the brazier back and approached the door. He looked at the lonely locust tree in the backyard.

It was already late at night. The moonlight shone down from the clouds and it covered the backyard with a layer of silver dust.

The leaves of the locust tree flickered under the moonlight, as if they were covered in a thin layer of frost.

In the dead of night, only Xu Bai and the locust tree were in the backyard.

The progress bar increased very slowly. Xu Bai stood in the room and looked at it for a while before preparing to return to his room.

He still followed the same pattern as before. He could not stay up late at night to prevent being in a bad condition the next day.

He had to maintain the most perfect mental state at all times. After experiencing so much, he did not want to make any mistakes on small matters.

The tree was right there. It would still be there tomorrow. It was not as if someone would come to cut down his tree?

Whoever dared to touch his tree, he would definitely skin that person alive.

“Sleep.”

Xu Bai stretched and prepared to close the door.

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew past. When the leaves of the locust tree were blown by the cold wind, they made rustling sounds.

The backyard was quiet to begin with. After the sound appeared, Xu Bai immediately turned his head and his eyes widened. At the same time, he placed his hand on the Ghost Head Saber.

Just a moment ago, he suddenly felt dizzy, and the Genuine Inner Force in his body started circulating again.

During the day, such a thing had happened as soon as he stepped into the backyard.

Now that it was night time, the drowsiness from before was even stronger. Fortunately, his Genuine Inner Force could withstand it and there were no negative consequences.

“This tree is very strange.” Xu Bai looked straight at the locust tree and thought to himself.

With his Genuine Inner Force, this kind of dizziness did not affect him.

“Let’s wait until I complete the progress bar.” Xu Bai returned to the house and closed the door.

He wouldn’t do anything to this tree now.

The progress bar was very rare, at least for now.

It wasn’t easy to catch one, so he had to comprehend it thoroughly.

When the progress bar was completed, he would solve the problem of the locust tree.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai returned to his bed.

…

Liu Family, Liu Xu’s room.

Liu Xu sat on a high-quality yellow rosewood stool with her legs slightly bent.

Because of the stool, even though she was wearing white, it still squeezed out a rough outline of her figure.

Beside her was a yellow rosewood table with an incense burner on it. Faint green smoke was rising from it.

At this moment, Liu Xu had taken off her veil, revealing her beautiful face.

Her shoulders were tapered, her waist was thin and beautiful, and her neck was long. The fair skin was exposed and her hair was piled in a high bun.

She knew very well that if she did not wear a veil, she would attract a lot of attention. She did not like it.

She would only take it off when she was alone in the room.

There was an iron bead in her fair hand.

Ever since the blacksmith shop had become empty, she had continued using Paper Crane Searching Technique. Finally, she found traces of two charred corpses and iron beads in a desolate suburb in Sheng County.

In fact, the facial features of the charred corpses could no longer be seen clearly, but one of them was wearing iron armor, so it was easy to guess his identity.

——The Underworld Blacksmith couple was already dead.

The iron beads were found in another place. Combined with what the government office had said, it further confirmed Liu Xu’s guess.

There was a third person who attacked, and that person was an extremely brilliant martial artist.

Not only was this person proficient in saber techniques, but he also knew a brilliant hidden weapon technique.

The people from Jisheng Cult, the official from Heaven Surveillance Bureau, as well as the Underworld Blacksmith couple were all killed by this person.

Most importantly, Liu Xu’s lead once again stopped here.

The Paper Crane Searching Technique was no longer effective. Liu Xu knew the reason.

At first, she had used the Underworld Blacksmith as a guide. Now that she had changed her method, she could no longer find any traces. This meant that the other party was stronger than her.

“The government office said that after a while, the Heaven Surveillance Bureau will send people. We’ll talk about it when they arrive,” Liu Xu thought to herself.
