The crowd surrounding the arena erupted into enthusiastic cheers. Most of the onlookers hadn't noticed Xiao Yu's deliberate strike at all, applauding her skill and style wholeheartedly. It wasn't that they were incapable of seeing it—even Luan Bao, standing right there in the match, hadn't fully realized what had happened either.

Xiao Yu had already leapt down from the arena.

Luan Bao remained standing, pressing a hand against his bleeding wound.

Ruan Fengshan turned to Mo Qian. "Mo Qian, you'r

    In other words, while within this state of great clarity, he couldn't genuinely engage in actual combat with anyone, since any conscious thought would instantly dissolve the state itself.However, through this period of careful exploration, Mo Qian had come to understand that whenever he entered this state of great clarity, his martial cultivation would immediately advance to the next tier entirely.For instance, right now, Mo Qian found himself directly stepping into true-energy realm cultivation!He'd absorbed and integrated the essence of Xie Daohan's constabulary blade, along with the energy-circulation methodology of the Withered Wood Prajna Blade technique, and these began operating instantly within his body.A dense, concentrated energy suddenly condensed amid the surging flow of his internal breath!So this is how true energy is refined from internal-energy cultivation!Something flickered in Mo Qian's eyes, but the moment this conscious thought emerged, his state of great emp

  • Chapter 366 The Flow of Breakthrough

    Studying the surrounding stalls briefly, Tao Rong's gaze swept left and right before suddenly focusing on a particular spot. He walked over decisively, reaching up to retrieve a sheathed blade positioned high on a display rack.Returning to Mo Qian's side with a satisfied smile, Tao Rong offered the sheathed blade directly. "Brother Mo, try this one."Mo Qian glanced at the weapon Tao Rong offered, noting its scabbard coated in considerable dust, hesitating momentarily before accepting it. He shook off the accumulated dust and drew the blade free.The moment he studied its design and grip, Mo Qian's eyes brightened immediately.This particular blade lacked the bright, glossy finish typical of most weapons—its coloring appeared considerably more muted and understated.The blade featured single-edged design, its spine slightly thicker toward the back, the tip curving with distinctive, pronounced arc.Noticing Mo Qian's evident interest, Tao Rong explained, "This is called a Bright Rainb

  • Chapter 365 A Replacement Weapon

    After a few moments' walk, Mo Qian entered through a corner gate, stepping into a relatively spacious courtyard.Though genuinely spacious, this particular courtyard held little of note—gray, weathered, and entirely desolate.This space served specifically for storing the agency's firewood and charcoal supplies.Each autumn, the courtyard would fill with dry firewood and various grades of charcoal. Yet following an entire winter's consumption, by early spring's warming weather, the space typically stood essentially emptied.In the courtyard's corner stood a weapon rack holding several damaged practice weapons, used by apprentice trainees for basic combat training.Studying this particular courtyard, familiar memories began surfacing within Mo Qian's mind.Among their original cohort of menial apprentices, only he and Kong Bin had been selected for advancement to apprentice escort status. The remaining trainees had either remained perpetually confined to menial labor within the agency—

  • Chapter 364 A Echo of the Past

    The tip had already broken skin, piercing slightly into Yang Zhen's body. Mo Qian's grip on the sword's handle registered that unmistakable sensation of penetrating flesh!Yet at that exact moment, Mo Qian's own chest constricted violently, seized by sharp, spasming pain!He genuinely couldn't tell whether this pain belonged to himself, or to the original owner of this body!Mo Qian's hand froze there, suspended. Had he pushed forward just one more inch—perhaps even half an inch—Yang Zhen would have died instantly.He'd already decided he must kill Yang Zhen—this conclusion had crystallized the moment he'd spotted him at the gambling house's entrance that very afternoon. Since that moment, an oppressive weight had settled permanently over his heart.Mo Qian had no idea how long he remained frozen there. He suddenly felt an itching sensation across his own face, assuming momentarily that some spider had dropped from the rafters above, and reached up instinctively to brush it away.Inst

  • Chapter 363 Final Drink Between Old Friends

    Mo Qian's expression tightened, and he clutched the wine jar closer against his chest. He'd decided he would share one final drink with Yang Zhen tonight.Something shifted in Mo Qian's focus, and he extended his spiritual sense outward.Yang Zhen remained in his bedroom, though clearly not asleep. An oil lamp burned atop the bedside cabinet.The dim, flickering light illuminated Yang Zhen's grave expression as he paced restlessly within the confined space of his room.Mo Qian withdrew his spiritual sense but didn't bother knocking at the gate. Instead, his figure leapt smoothly over the courtyard wall like a bird taking flight, landing lightly within the courtyard beyond.The interior window glowed with faint, pale yellow light, and the house's main door stood open—this remained Yang Zhen's characteristic habit, never bothering to fully close his door.Cradling the wine jar carefully, Mo Qian crossed the courtyard silently, his footsteps light as a prowling cat, making virtually no s

  • Chapter 362 Confrontation in the Night

    How could he not fear someone who'd apparently killed both Xie Lei and Xu Ruhu, and now, seemingly, had even managed to defeat and kill a genuine true-energy realm master like Xie Daohan himself?Meanwhile, Mo Qian and Ximen Kan had spent the entire morning gambling within Weiyang Hall, with everyone they'd encountered along the way ultimately losing considerably to their combined luck.By noon, when lunchtime arrived, Ximen Kan remained visibly energized and excited, while Mo Qian's stomach had begun growling audibly with hunger—he'd only managed a few modest buns that morning.Left with little choice, Ximen Kan reluctantly agreed to accompany Mo Qian for a proper meal."Just wontons for lunch?" Mo Qian clearly wasn't entirely satisfied with Ximen Kan's suggested venue."That'll do for now. I'll treat you properly at Babao Tower tonight with proper drinks."As Ximen Kan spoke, he glanced repeatedly toward a stall across the street, his mind still preoccupied with his gambling dice, e
