6. Special Effects: Freezing damage, Gentle Breeze Slash! Flower-Picking Maniac: Yang Zhao!
The warehouse where Fang Tianci collected his family's wealth.
The butler naturally couldn't possibly know.
Rao is so.
A room where the Fang family members' daily necessities are stored.
Yang Zhao easily received three thousand taels of silver notes and several hundred taels of silver.
"My lord, please spare my life, considering my meager service."
"I swear, from this day forward, I will be mute, deaf, and blind."
"Please, adults, we have an eighty-year-old mother and a baby still breastfeeding..."
The butler lay prostrate on the ground, trembling with fear, not daring to break a sweat.
"Since you've come to this point, I have no choice but to spare your life. However, you must first ask Yang Zhao if he's willing."
"Yang Zhao?!"
The butler looked up in alarm.
I recognize him!
Before me stood a new guard who looked completely harmless.
It was that damned Yang Zhao!
With a swift stroke, a head falls to the ground!
……
The Fang family was one of the wealthiest families in Qinghe County.
The household had at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, servants and errand boys coming and going every day.
Almost no one could recognize all the guards.
Yang Zhao was wearing a guard uniform with a badge hanging from his waist.
The journey was smooth and we left Fangjia without any obstacles.
Instead of heading directly out of the city, they headed in a familiar direction.
yard.
Luo San Niang seemed to be a carefree person.
At this moment, she was merely a helpless widow, Ma San Niang.
With great interest, they scattered handfuls of chaff to the yellow chicks that were eagerly eating it.
Chirp chirp chirp!
The chicks suddenly scattered in panic, then gathered together under the mother hen like a tide.
puff!
Dust filled the courtyard.
A heavy package was thrown in from outside the wall.
"The Fang family's steward and servant Xiao Liu, those two damned devils, have designs on you!"
The sound rang out, and then the footsteps faded into the distance.
Such is the state of the world.
Today, the Fang family steward is eyeing Luo San Niang's beauty.
It is estimated that there will be more tomorrow, including unknown individuals from the Chen, Li, and Zhang families, who may have ulterior motives.
All Yang Zhao could do was offer a kind reminder.
Luo San Niang opened the package.
There were about three hundred taels of silver inside.
Each silver ingot was cut into small pieces.
As long as it's not a one-time transaction involving a large sum of money, it will absolutely not attract anyone's attention.
"Ah Zhao is a thoughtful and meticulous person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment."
"Big Brother likes this kind of young man the most, and Bing'er should get along well with him."
"In that case, the Eleventh Alliance is indeed a good place for him."
Luo San Niang nodded slightly.
He whispered in the direction Yang Zhao had gone, "May you have a safe journey and a bright future!"
……
Yang Zhao left the Fang family half an hour later.
A constable in red led two constables into the Fang family's residence.
Without needing to announce their arrival, they went straight to the plum garden, familiar with the area.
"How could this happen?!"
The scene before me was a complete mess.
The red-clad constable was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.
"Dong Chao, immediately return to the yamen and inform Constable Bao to order fifty constables and runners to secretly seal off the Fang family residence in plain clothes. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
"Xue Ba, go and report to Lord Shi: Something terrible has happened at the Fang family's plum garden!"
a long time.
The red-clad constable quickly came to his senses and made arrangements.
……
A hundred miles outside the city.
A desolate mountain and a dilapidated temple.
Yang Zhao
[Cultivation Technique: Minor Success of the Mysterious Heaven Technique (Qi and Blood Realm)]
[Martial Skill: Mastery of the Qingfeng Blade Technique (Qi and Blood Realm)]
[Realm: Qi and Blood Realm]
[Demon-Slaying Value: 10]
They walked for two days and one night in one go.
Even the strongest person can't withstand it.
I slept soundly through the night.
Yang Zhao summoned the [Demon Detective Manual].
"Slay the Plum Demon and gain 10 Demon-Slaying Points."
"Enough to perfect the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Gentle Breeze Saber Technique."
"With the cultivation techniques and martial arts skills perfected, I wonder what kind of incredible special effects they will produce?"
Yang Zhao had high expectations for this.
"Add some points."
"Add it to the Mysterious Heaven Skill."
"Don't ask, just fill it up... that is, fill it up to the maximum!"
The instruction has been issued.
Consumes 1 points of Demon Slaying Value.
A phantom image of Yang Zhao appeared in his mind.
For twelve hours a day, the phantom immerses itself in the cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
[Cultivation Technique: Great Completion of the Mysterious Heaven Technique (Qi and Blood Realm)]
Consume another 1 point of Demon Slaying Value.
The illusory figure seemed to understand something, and continued its cultivation.
Looking up at the auspicious snow, looking down at the glacier.
After seven days and seven nights of deep thought, I suddenly had a breakthrough.
He grasped the true meaning of the icy coldness of Qi and blood.
[Technique: Mysterious Heaven Skill Perfected (Special Effect: 30% Freeze Damage)]
[Description: Triggers a special effect that can be applied to any martial arts technique, dealing an additional 30% freeze damage to enemies.]
[Triggering the ability to control at will and with ease requires consuming a large amount of Qi and Blood.]
With your current Qi and Blood reserves, this can be triggered up to three times a day at maximum capacity.
Freeze damage 30%!
A guaranteed minimum can slow down the enemy's actions.
As one's cultivation level increases, it may be possible to freeze enemies directly.
Freeze directly?
Absolute zero?
The forgiveness of the Goddess of Dawn?!
unbelievable!
"Add some points."
"Add it to the Qingfeng Blade Technique."
"Add until it's perfect!"
The incredible special effects brought about by the perfect completion of the Mysterious Heaven Skill made Yang Zhao impatient.
Consumes 1 points of Demon Slaying Value.
Yang Zhao's illusory image lay in the wind, drifting away with it.
Feeling the rhythm of the wind, I transform into a gentle breeze.
A flash of inspiration, and the phantom figure grasped the true meaning of the wind.
[Martial Skill: Perfected Qingfeng Blade Technique (Qingfeng Slash: Burst Speed 100%)]
[Description: Triggering a special effect, swordsmanship explodes instantly, speed increased by 100%.]
[Triggering the ability to control at will and with ease requires consuming a large amount of Qi and Blood.]
With your current Qi and Blood reserves, this can be triggered once a day at its maximum.
Burst speed 100%!
In the world of martial arts, there is no stubbornness that cannot be broken, only fastness cannot be broken!
It also has the bonus of 30% freeze damage.
To defeat the strong with the weak, and to kill enemies of a higher level.
This will become Yang Zhao's daily routine!
Yang Zhao

[Martial Skill: Perfected Qingfeng Blade Technique (Qingfeng Slash: Burst Speed 100%)]
[Realm: Qi and Blood Realm]
[Demon-Slaying Value: 7]
Their strength increased dramatically in an instant.
"but……"
Yang Zhao frowned slightly.
They then packed their belongings and headed down the mountain to continue their journey.
As the morning breeze caressed his face, Yang Zhao slowly sorted out his thoughts.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill has been perfected.
This achievement represents an unprecedented accomplishment for Qingfeng Martial Arts School since its opening.
Unfortunately, he failed to cultivate true qi and advance to the True Qi Realm.
That makes sense.
Qinghe County has never been a major martial arts county, not even a medium-sized one.
There may be martial artists at the True Qi Realm.
At least Yang Zhao had never seen it.
Qingfeng Martial Arts School has never appeared.
"To cultivate true qi, one needs a superior qi and blood cultivation technique."
Yang Zhao made a judgment.
This also proves that the Xuan Tian Gong is probably a lower-level Qi and Blood Realm cultivation technique.
With a clear goal, the path will naturally become apparent.
The simplest method.
Nothing could be better than carrying three thousand taels of silver notes to the ghost market to buy them.
There is no forced buying or selling in the ghost market.
However, it cannot guarantee that the items you purchase are genuine.
It relies entirely on one's own insight and experience, but even more so on luck.
It contains a large element of gambling.
The chances of losing are greater.
This is a place where you can absolutely obtain genuine, top-quality martial arts techniques.
It's probably a sect, or a powerful gang or family with a deep-rooted history.
Wanting to join a sect is one thing.
Whether someone wants you or not is another matter entirely.
The sect has extremely strict requirements for accepting disciples. They must be outstanding in every aspect, including background, aptitude, and talent.
Even if one manages to enter by chance, obtaining superior techniques requires a gradual process and cannot be accomplished overnight.
Yang Zhao, who has 7 points in demon-slaying value, seizes every minute.
Join a gang or a powerful family?
Merit is linked to reward.
Black and white on white paper.
The worst thing is to have money but not the life to enjoy it.
"No matter which road we take, we have to get to Pingyang County first."
"Pingyang County is considered a county with strong martial arts traditions, and its martial arts resources far surpass those of Qinghe County."
"So, when I went to join the Eleven Alliance, wasn't it to join a sect, gang, or a powerful family?"
So far, Yang Zhao still doesn't know what the Eleven Alliance is.
"My dear!"
"That Yang Zhao was completely unknown, but I never imagined he was such a heinous womanizer!"
Yang Zhao!
A womanizer?!
More than ten people hurried along the main road ahead.
Clearly, none of them recognized Yang Zhao.
They didn't care at all about Yang Zhao joining the team, and even thought it was only natural.
In fact.
At the same time, several people joined Yang Zhao from different directions.
Everyone seemed to be on the same page, heading in the same direction...
Lishan, ten miles away.
"The more than one hundred girls who went missing in Qinghe County over the past three years were all victims of the villain Yang Zhao."
"The other day, she went so far as to follow the fourth young lady of the Fang family to the City God Temple to offer thanks to the gods and committed beastly acts inside the Fang family's residence."
"After being caught in the act by the old lady, she became enraged and slaughtered the entire Fang family of over 120 people!"
"The final fire reduced the Fang family's house to ashes. When I left, the fire was still raging!"
