Chapter 175 The Six-Layered Sword Shadow Serves as the ‘Face Leader’

[Simple mode on: Swing the sword five hundred times to practice the unique sword technique to the limit. 】

After turning on the simple mode several times in succession, the Qijue sword technique was about to reach its limit. Su Chen did not rest and completed five hundred swings of the sword in one go.

When it was completed, the panel suddenly changed, and the sword drawing technique could be improved again.

Su Chen continued to turn on the simple mode:

[Easy mode turned on: Swing the sword six hundred times to practice the sword drawing technique to the sixth level. 】

Swish, swish, swish!

In the yard.

As a figure flashed and moved, the sky was filled with the light and shadow of swords, and there was a roaring wind that made the leaves rustle.

There are heavy shadows of the knife, and there are gusts of sinister wind. If you look closely, you can see the terrifying power contained in it.

It looks like one sword, but it seems like six swords were struck in an instant, as if there were six shadows of swords hidden deep inside, ready to go.

After a while, Su Chen put away his sword and stopped practicing.

"With my strength at the second level of moving blood and my sixth-level sword-drawing skills, I can almost crush warriors of the same level.

Even against the three realms of moving blood, with the support of many means, they can still win.

If you try your best, you won't be able to fight against the four blood-moving realms. "

After a simple test of the knife, Su Chen assessed his own strength.

This kind of strength, in the past, would have been at least among the best in Dafeng City, but now it is not among the best.

He doesn't care either. With the panel here, he can look forward to the future.

Afterwards, Su Chen finished sorting out Xuan Xin's Myriad Forms and packed them all up and took them away.

There is too much content in Xuan Xin Wan Miao Style. Even if he has an excellent memory, he will not be able to remember so much knowledge in a short time, so he can only take it back.

Back at Qiao's Mansion, Su Chen separated the five categories of content and only took out the daylily category for study, and hid the rest in the secret room.

In the next few days, Su Chen became extremely busy because of the addition of a new Mystic Heart Mysterious Skill.

There's a lot to do.

The first is to refine Qi and Blood Pills.

During the few days outside, Su Chen had already consumed all the Qi and Blood Pills. If he didn't refine them, he would be unable to continue practicing.

Moreover, he also wanted to refine more elixirs to gain experience so as to achieve the efficacy of Hong's Qi and Blood Pills.

His refining direction is not wrong, but he lacks experience and cannot reach the level of an experienced alchemist. He can only practice more to continuously improve his alchemy skills.

The second is to improve the soul-inducing powder and soul-inducing incense.

The current Mist Powder has almost no effect on him. If he encounters someone weaker than him, he can kill it with one slap. However, if he encounters someone stronger than him, the Mist Powder will not play any role and is equivalent to useless.

In addition, there is also soul-inducing incense.

The soul-inducing incense played an important role in the process of obtaining the Pure Yuan Jing and the Mysterious Heart Mysterious Style this time.

Without it, Su Chen might not be able to find Ma Chen and get these two secret books.

There may be many places where soul-inducing incense will be used in the future, so it is natural to put the improvement plan of soul-inducing incense on the agenda.

After all, the limits of half an hour and one kilometer are still too big, and it would be best to improve them.

The third is to practice the mysterious mind.

Through this period of practice, Su Chen has determined the importance of secret books to himself.

Regardless of the thirty-six thousand techniques for generating energy, just condensing the golden needle can improve one's control over the energy.

If he continues to concentrate, sooner or later Su Chen will be able to 'mobilize ten percent of his strength, hit ten points, and exert twelve points of power'.

What's more, Su Chen is also very coveted for the technique of generating energy recorded in the secret book, but because there are too few golden needles, he can't practice it yet.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Su Chen was refining Qi and Blood Pills when Hong Ming came to find him.

"Aunt Xue wants to see me?"

Hong Ming revealed his intention, this time it was not him who wanted to see Su Chen, but Tan Xue.

"Well, she originally wanted to find you, but every time the people in Qiao Mansion said you weren't here, so she had to find me." Hong Ming sighed softly.

Although he has been staying in Fengbei City during this period, he still has some understanding of what is happening in the outside world.

After the death of the three elders of the Hong family, the entire Hong family tree fell and scattered.

As the father of Hong Lian'er, Hong Tao was able to receive the Chu family's blessing, but others were not so lucky.

Especially Hong Risheng was killed in the previous battle, which made Tan Xue's family even worse.

Maybe I came to Su Chen to ask for something from him this time.

Hong Ming knew about Tan Xue's difficulties, so he came to find Su Chen immediately after learning about it.

Su Chen thought for a moment and agreed. Regardless of his relationship with the Hong family, at least Tan Xue gave her a lot of help when he first came to Dafeng City.

Now that she is in trouble, help if you can.

Following Hong Ming into the house, Su Chen immediately saw Tan Xue with an anxious face in the yard.

After not seeing each other for many days, Tan Xue lost a lot of weight, her face looked a bit old, and a few white hairs occasionally appeared among her black hair.

After seeing Su Chen, Tan Xue's face lit up, and she quickly stepped forward and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Su Chen.

He smiled and said: "Aunt Xue, I haven't been in Qiao Mansion these days, so I didn't know you were coming. I hope you won't be surprised."

"No wonder." Qin Xue shook her head quickly and said with a cry in her voice, "Su Chen, please save Chen'er."

With that said, she was about to kneel down again, but was supported by Su Chen.

Su Chen comforted him: "Aunt Xue, please don't worry. Can you tell me what happened first?"

Hong Ming also helped: "Yes, Xue'er, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Tan Xue nodded and sat down with the support of Su Chen and Hong Ming. Her mood calmed down a little.

Later, she told the whole story.

After the death of the three elders of the Hong family, the Hong family collapsed. The children of the Hong family died and fled.

If Hong Risheng was still alive, Hong Tao might not take care of their family because they all belong to the same direct lineage.

But when Hong Risheng died, all the relationships that Tan Xue had managed before were in vain.

She originally wanted to ask Hong Tao to protect Hong Chen and take him away, but she didn't even see Hong Tao's face.

In desperation, Tan Xue and Hong Chen left the Hong family and settled in Qingxi Town.

However, the two of them were members of the Hong family after all, and Hong Tao could not erase this fact if he did not take them away.

Some forces that had been offended by Hong Risheng and even the Hong family knew what they were going through and would inevitably add insult to injury.

Tan Xue could bear it, but Hong Chen couldn't, and conflicts broke out with these people again and again.

But with Hong Chen's strength, how could he be their opponent? Every time they fought, they were scarred.

These people didn't kill Hong Chen, they just beat him half to death to humiliate him.

Tan Xue knew that continuing was not an option, so she planned to take Hong Chen out of Qingxi Town.

At this time, the Chu family sent people to take Hong Chen away without any explanation.

After learning about this situation, Tan Xue suddenly felt as if the sky was falling. She asked many times to rescue Hong Chen.

Later, I learned from a kind person that it was Chu Hong, a descendant of the Chu family, who had arrested Hong Chen and served as his face.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, completely crushing Tan Xue and making her almost faint.

But in order to save Hong Chen, she had to cheer up.

She spent all her savings to find out the news, but the result made her extremely desperate.

Any man who falls in front of Chu Hong will definitely not survive a month in her hands!

In other words, Hong Chen can only live for a month at most, but his injuries have not yet recovered. Under Chu Hong's torture, he may not live for more than a month at all.

Thinking of this, Tan Xue frantically approached her former friends and begged them to be merciful and rescue Hong Chen, but no one was willing to offend the Chu family for her.

Unintentionally, Qin Xue thought of Su Chen and knew that Su Chen had a good relationship with Qiao Mansion. If Su Chen was willing to come forward to Qiao Mansion, he might be able to save Hong Chen.

So she ran to Qiao Mansion to see Su Chen, but was told that Su Chen was not in Qiao Mansion for three days in a row.

She thought it was because Su Chen didn't want to see her, and she was heartbroken, but she still didn't give up.

Until she met Hong Ming, Tan Xue asked Hong Ming to help her as long as she could see Su Chen.

After Hong Ming learned about what happened to Tan Xue, he naturally did not refuse, so he took the initiative to come to Qiao Mansion to find Su Chen.

"Su Chen, it's been ten days now, and Chen'er is still injured. I really can't think of it..."

Tan Xue, who has always been strong, has cried countless times over her son's issue.

Su Chen glanced at Hong Ming, then nodded and said, "Aunt Xue, don't worry, leave Hong Chen's affairs to me."

"Thank you, thank you..." Tan Xue was overjoyed when she heard this and thanked her repeatedly.

"Xue'er..."

Overwhelmed with joy and sorrow, Tan Xue's vision went dark and she fainted. Hong Ming helped Tan Xue in time to prevent her from falling.

After sending Tan Xue back to the room, Hong Ming found the courtyard. He glanced at Su Chen and hesitated to speak.

Su Chen couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Hong Ming's cautious look, so he said, "Master, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Does this matter embarrass you?" Hong Ming asked.

Su Chen shook his head: "It's just to find someone, it shouldn't be difficult."

"That's good!"

Hong Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. The Chu family put him under no less pressure than the Hong family. These clans were not so easy to talk to.

"Master, please stay with Aunt Xue here while I go out." Su Chen stood up and said goodbye.

"good!"

Su Chen did not go back to Qiao Mansion, but went directly to the Sihai Gang headquarters to find Qiao Qiliang.

"Deputy gang leader, Mr. Qiao is in the inner hall."

Under the leadership of a gang member, Su Chen went straight to the inner hall.

"Cough cough cough!"

Before he could get closer, Su Chen heard a violent cough. He walked in and found Qiao Qiliang coughing while looking at his official duties.

"Are you okay?" Su Chen sat down and asked with concern.

When Qiao Qiliang saw Su Chen, a smile appeared on his face. He shook his head: "I'm infected with the cold. I've already asked the doctor to prescribe medicine. As long as you take the medicine, you should be fine."

After a pause, he asked: "Why did you come to me this time?"

Su Chen hesitated for a moment and then informed Qiao Qiliang of the matter, but hid the reason why Chu Hong captured Hong Chen to act as a face-to-face.

After hearing this, Qiao Qiliang said: "Well, I'll go with you to the Chu family. If you want me alone, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Forget it, you'd better rest more. I'll pay you a visit in the name of the deputy leader of the Sihai Gang. If it doesn't work, I'll come back to you." Su Chen shook his head and refused, not intending to let Qiao Qiliang run around.

"Okay, can I ask Qiu Sihai to come with you?" Qiao Qiliang said slightly thoughtfully.

Qiu Sihai is the nominal leader of the Sihai Gang. Having him there is undoubtedly an extra layer of protection. Plus, he knows a lot and can make suggestions for Su Chen.

"good!"

Not long after, a somewhat honest middle-aged man came over.

Qiao Qiliang told Qiu Sihai about the matter, and Qiu Sihai naturally had no reason to refuse.

The two went to the Chu family.

"Chief Qiu, how much do you know about the Chu family?" Su Chen asked on the way to Fengdong City.

Qiu Sihai replied seriously: "It's very strong. With the addition of the Hong family's alchemist, I think the Chu family will surpass the Liang family sooner or later."

Among the five major clans, there are two clans that started their business by selling elixirs, namely the Yun clan and the Hong clan.

Because the Yun family had the backing of the palace master, they monopolized all the medicinal materials business in Xiazhou and became the head of the five major families.

The Hong family relies on the Qi and Blood Pill to catch up. Although it is at the bottom, it is moving forward steadily and will surpass the Chu family and Luo family sooner or later.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Chu and Mr. Luo are keeping a close eye on the Qi and Blood Pill recipe.

Once they get the elixir, they can use the elixir to become the second family in Donglin Mansion.

After the demise of the Hong family, the Chu family recruited almost all the alchemists from the Hong family.

Coupled with the supply of medicinal materials, I'm afraid it won't be long before we can continuously produce Qi and Blood Pills to supply the warriors in the clan to improve their strength.

As the leader of the Sihai Gang, Qiu Sihai naturally knows this.

Although the Chu family and the Luo family are now the four major clans, in fact the Chu family has surpassed the Luo family.

This can be seen from the situation in Fengdong City and Fengbei City alone.

While the Luo family was fighting against the city lord's mansion, the Chu family had already invisibly controlled most of the forces in Fengdong City.

The two chatted on the roadside while driving, and arrived at Fengdong City an hour later. Not long after entering the city, they arrived in front of the Chu Mansion.

"Excuse me, please let me know. Sihai Gang Qiu Sihai and Su Chen are here to visit."

Qiu Sihai put away his simplicity and looked a bit majestic.

Soon, the guard who informed them came out and welcomed the two people in. The guard took the two people to the lobby and said: "You two, please wait a moment."

The guards retreated, and the maids brought refreshments to greet the two of them.

Qiu Sihai was not polite. He picked up the tea, took the snacks, tasted them slowly, and made comments while eating.

Not long after eating, a well-dressed old man walked in. Upon seeing this, Qiu Sihai stood up immediately.

"Master Qiu, this old slave is the housekeeper of the house. I have something important to do at this time. Please be patient and wait for a moment."

Qiu Sihai thought it was Chu Jingtian, the leader of the Chu clan, but it turned out to be a housekeeper. After hearing these words, his smile became a little stiff.

"It doesn't matter." Qiu Sihai replied with a smile.

The old housekeeper was polite again. Seeing that the tea and snacks were gone, he asked the maids to bring more.

Only this time, Qiu Sihai was not in the mood to continue eating and drinking.

His face darkened, and he was very dissatisfied with the Chu family's hospitality. It was obvious that he did not take the Sihai Gang seriously.

But seeing that Su Chen didn't speak, Qiu Sihai could only shut up.

About half an hour later, Chu Jingtian, the leader of the Chu clan, arrived late. When he saw Qiu Sihai, he cupped his hands and said, "Hahaha, Chief Qiu is here. I'm sorry for not being able to welcome you from afar."

"Haha, Chief Chu is so polite." Qiu Sihai replied with his signature smile.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Qiu Sihai revealed the purpose of his trip: "To be honest, I came here to ask for someone from the Chu clan leader."

"Oh? Who is it?" Chu Jingtian asked softly.

"It's the son of one of my friends, named Hong Chen. He was arrested because he accidentally had a conflict with Miss Chu Hong from your mansion. It was the Chu clan leader who raised his hand. Qiu is very grateful."

"This is happening." Chu Jingtian glanced at the old housekeeper next to him inadvertently after hearing this, and the old housekeeper closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Chu Jingtian pondered for a moment and then smiled and said: "Haha, this matter is Chu Hong's fault. Gang Leader Qiu, wait a moment, I will send people to find her and release her."

Although Qiu Sihai's words just now were said in his name, considering the power behind them, he can be given this face.

After all, the enemy of my enemy can become a friend in the future. If a Hong family member is let go, he can be let go.

"Clan leader, bring Hong Chen."

Not long after, two Chu guards came in carrying an unconscious man in rich clothes.

Seeing Hong Chen's appearance, Su Chen took a step forward to check his injuries, with a faint flash of strange color in his eyes.

Hong Chen's physical condition was very poor, not to mention the lack of Qi and blood, and the internal organs in his body were declining to varying degrees.

If Mrs. Chu hadn't given him some healing medicine before coming, I'm afraid Hong Chen's injury would have been even more serious.

He helped Hong Chen up and glanced at Qiu Sihai. Qiu Sihai immediately understood and said, "Thank you very much, Chief Chu."

Chu Jingtian nodded, picked up the tea cup, and put it down before taking a sip. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."

"Now that the person has been found, Qiu will not disturb Gang Leader Chu and take his leave." Seeing that Chu Jingtian wanted to see off the guests, Qiu Sihai said.

"Chu Shou, let's see off our two distinguished guests." Chu Jingtian stood up and greeted the old housekeeper.

Qiu Sihai clasped his fists again and quickly stepped forward to take Hong Chen from Su Chen's hands and helped him leave.

Seeing this scene, Chu Jingtian couldn't help but squinted his eyes and focused his attention on Su Chen.

It was obvious that this person who remained silent throughout the whole process had a higher status than Qiu Sihai.

"The deputy leader of the Sihai Gang is barely a figure."

Thinking of Su Chen's previous performance, Chu Jingtian chuckled, then turned and left.

The group passed through several courtyards and were about to reach the gate of Chu Mansion.

At this moment, a sharp voice sounded: "I want to see who dares to take away my pet."

Everyone followed the sound and saw a woman in a red dress striding from the side yard. She had a good figure and gorgeous makeup. When paired with the red dress, she looked a bit coquettish.

At this time, her pretty face was tense and full of anger.

Her eyes first fell on Hong Chen, and then moved to Qiu Sihai. When she glanced at Su Chen, her steps suddenly stopped.

Then he changed direction and came to Su Chen, looking up and down with a sense of scrutiny.

Chu Hong shouted coldly: "You took away my pet, and I am very unhappy!"

Su Chen didn't pay attention to such a wealthy lady, but turned his attention to the old housekeeper beside him.

The old housekeeper was about to speak, but was interrupted by Chu Hong: "Uncle Shou, don't worry, I know what's appropriate."

After a pause, she said to Su Chen: "These days, he eats me, sleeps with me, and plays with me, which has cost me a lot of money and energy. So, as long as you can defeat Uncle Chu Qing, I will let him go." How about going?"
