Unfettered Retribution: Slaughtering My Way through the World Chapter 144 - 118: The Human List Changes Again! The Martial

"Besides, the area around the Ancient Tree of Life holds other opportunities. There are many stone carvings left by our predecessors, docunting countless Martial Arts and various insights. Spending just a few days there will be enough to benefit you for the rest of your life.

Not to ntion, you’ll also get the chance to test your skills against other experts at your level."

"That makes sense."

Chen Xuan nodded imdiately and smiled. "In that case, I accept. When do we leave?"

"We’ll need to set off within the next two days."

Mr. Zhuo smiled. "When the ti cos, I’ll take you there myself. For now, I need to upload your information to headquarters first!"

After all, the Martial Alliance only has two spots.

And our Martial Alliance has always been renowned for its abundance of talent.

So it was inevitable that he would need to give them a heads-up.

"Of course!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

’After I get back from this Ancient Tree of Life, I should be able to reach for the True Qi Ninth Layer, right?’

’Then I can settle my scores with the Celestial Sword Sect and the Mixed Elent Sect...’

’And while I’m at it, I can give Wang Qinglian a little ’shock’ too.’

’The thought alone is exciting.’

"Excellent. You can go and get so rest now," Mr. Zhuo said with a smile.

"Then I’ll take my leave!"

Chen Xuan cupped his hands, turned, and left.

As soon as he returned to his residence, he handed the dicinal herbs he was carrying to one of his subordinates and had them prepared.

「Not long after.」

The dicinal concoctions for cultivating the Iron Wall Dragon Elephant Technique and the Heavy Mountain Palm were ready, each poured into a separate dicinal tub.

Chen Xuan stripped off his shirt and climbed right into the wooden tub for the Iron Wall Dragon Elephant Technique.

’Retribution points, put them into the Iron Wall Dragon Elephant Technique!’

He thought to himself.

[Ding! You have consud 6,000 retribution points and have begun enhancing the Iron Wall Dragon Elephant Technique. A powerful dicinal bath has been detected. The host has successfully obtained a 150x Cultivation Speed.]

[Due to the host’s Innate Divine Strength, copper skin and iron bones, and Innate Tyrant Body, the host receives an unexpected bonus when practicing Horizontal Training-type Cultivation Techniques. Your Cultivation Speed has now successfully reached 300x. Cultivation in progress!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your Iron Wall Dragon Elephant Technique has reached perfection!]

BOOM!

An exceptionally formidable power erupted from within Chen Xuan’s body. It surged violently, making his veins bulge as his skin began to glow with a potent, steely light.

Even his internal True Qi instantly beca much denser.

"It reached perfection this fast?"

Chen Xuan was astonished.

’Innate Divine Strength and copper skin with iron bones actually give a boost to Horizontal Training techniques?’

’This really is a hidden buff.’

He rose from the dicinal tub, wiped himself dry, and walked over to the second one. This ti, he plunged both his hands directly into the liquid.

The scent of a completely different dicinal mixture imdiately hit him.

A cool, refreshing sensation traveled up from his palms, rapidly seeping into his body.

’Retribution points, enhance the Heavy Mountain Palm!’

Chen Xuan thought.

[Ding! You have consud 6,000 retribution points and have begun enhancing the Heavy Mountain Palm. A powerful dicinal bath has been detected. You have successfully obtained a 150x Cultivation Speed...]

Lines of text floated before his eyes.

...

...

「Overnight.」

The news caused a massive sensation.

Not only was all of Canglan Province in an uproar, but the two neighboring provinces were reeling from the shock as well.

The reason was simple.

News of the Little Sword Immortal and Jiang Hantian’s defeat had spread far and wide overnight via special Spirit Doves, stunning countless people.

No one could believe that the famous Little Sword Immortal and Jiang Hantian had been severely beaten, stripped naked, and hung from the city walls.

An act like this was too shocking.

It was utterly insane.

These were experts at the top of the Human List!

Especially the Little Sword Immortal—he had always projected a cold, arrogant, and untouchable image. To think he was stripped bare and hung from the city wall...

The ntal image alone was cringeworthy.

And the one who did it was, without a doubt, that very sa Chen Xuan.

Now, none of the major powers could sit still.

Countless people were shaken.

At first, so people refused to believe it. But when the Little Sword Immortal and Jiang Hantian fled back under the cover of night, they were forced to accept the truth.

The Celestial Sword Sect and the Mixed Elent Sect were both utterly enraged.

The Sect Leaders of the two great Martial Dao sects imdiately led their elders, Protectors, and other top experts to personally descend upon the Wang Clan of Canglan Province to demand an explanation.

When the news reached her, even Wang Qinglian was stunned, unable to believe it.

’Chen Xuan defeated the Little Sword Immortal and Jiang Hantian?’

’He even stripped them naked and hung them from the city walls?’

’And now Jiang Hantian was apparently a wreck, driven mad...’

’What kind of joke is this?’

"Sect Leader Ling, you must be joking. I just saw Chen Xuan two days ago. While his aptitude isn’t bad, and he managed to break through to the True Qi realm with the help of pills, there’s no way he could have defeated the Little Sword Immortal and Jiang Hantian..."

Wang Qinglian said, her voice cool and distant.

"Bullshit!"

The Celestial Sword Sect’s Leader, Ling Wanjian, roared, forgetting his decorum entirely. "Who said he barely broke through to the True Qi realm? He’s at the True Qi Third Layer! The Third Layer!"

Ling Wanjian was practically hysterical.

Beside him, Zhou Tianxing, the Sect Leader of the Mixed Elent Sect, also wore a grim, terrifyingly cold expression on his aged face.

’Soone in their early twenties at the True Qi Third Layer...’

’The very thought is terrifying...’

’If they hadn’t made an enemy of him, it would have been one thing.’

’But now that they had, he had to be utterly crushed and eliminated.’

’Otherwise, they would never sleep soundly again.’

"What?"

Wang Qinglian, the Wang Clan Patriarch Wang Zhengxuan, and the others all stared in shock.

’True Qi Third Layer?’

’How is that possible?’

"Absolutely impossible!"

Wang Qinglian declared with cold arrogance. "There must be a mistake!"

"Enough!"

Beside her, Zhou Tianxing, the Sect Leader of the Mixed Elent Sect, suddenly bellowed in fury, "Do I need to lie about my own disciple? My personal disciple, Jiang Hantian, was grievously wounded by Chen Xuan, stripped naked, and hung from the city walls for countless people to stare at,"
