Chapter 61: The Seven Slaying Blade Technique Breaks the Limit (Second Update)
As night fell, the study was bathed in bright light.
Gu Yang arrived and began a conversation with Gu Qingfeng.
"Father, in the battle against the Qingyang Sect, I realized a significant issue with our family. We lack enough strong warriors and people we can truly trust. Those wandering guards may serve us for now, but if our interests conflict, they might turn against us and stab us in the back!"
Gu Yang spoke solemnly.
Gu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
"You raise a valid point. What are your thoughts on how to address this issue?"
"Son believes that since our family is small in number, we should follow the example of other clans and recruit orphans to raise and train from a young age. This way, they can serve the family in the future."
"Once our population grows, these problems will be significantly alleviated."
After finishing his thoughts, Gu Yang waited for a response.
Gu Qingfeng replied, "It's true that our family lacks manpower, but to recruit and expand, we need to strengthen our own resources first."
"Additionally, Yang, you will be fifteen soon. In a few years, it will be time for you to marry and have children. The stronger a martial artist, the lower the chances of having offspring."
Gu Qingfeng paused and observed Gu Yang's reaction before continuing, "Do you have someone in mind? If so, I can arrange a match for you in the future."
"All these matters are up to Father to decide."
Gu Yang bowed his head.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng did not press further. In this world, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, and given the Gu family's status, finding a suitable bride for Gu Yang would not be a problem.
To put it bluntly, if word got out that the young master of the Gu family was looking for a wife, the Gu family's doorstep would be overwhelmed by suitors from various influential families.
"In the coming days, find a new residence for the family. This place is too small."
"Understood, Father."
Gu Yang nodded.
Gu Qingfeng then provided some guidance on cultivation before dismissing Gu Yang.
In the quiet study, Gu Qingfeng once again examined his attribute panel.
With the Tian Gang Divine Body already broken through, he needed eighty enhancement points to continue advancing. However, he only had sixty points left from the last breakthrough.
To gather the necessary points, he would likely have to wait for Gu Yang to make another breakthrough. But since Gu Yang had only recently entered the Blood Refinement stage, another breakthrough was unlikely in the short term.
Therefore, Gu Qingfeng decided to use these points to enhance his strength in other ways.
First, he focused on high-tier martial arts. While his cultivation foundation was solid, he lacked truly advanced combat techniques.
For example, the techniques within the Blazing Sun Divine Palm and the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique were only of medium quality. The former, though perfected, lacked finesse in its movements. The latter, he had only just begun to master.
Thus, his target this time was the Seven Slaying Blade Technique.
This blade technique was a military masterpiece, a high-tier martial art focused on killing. If he could perfect it, it would significantly enhance his combat abilities.
Without hesitation, Gu Qingfeng used twenty enhancement points to directly elevate the Seven Slaying Blade Technique from unmastered to perfection.
As Austin Greenbreeze's Seven Killing Blade Technique continued to improve, he seemed to step onto a battlefield, becoming one of the many soldiers. His long blade, drenched in blood, cut through enemies as he gradually grasped the profound secrets of slaughter.
It might have been an instant.
Or it might have been a hundred years.
When the Seven Killing Blade Technique finally reached its true perfection, Austin Greenbreeze opened his eyes, a shocking cold light flashing from them. A terrifying killing intent erupted, causing the temperature in the vast study to drop dramatically.
...
Seven Killing Blade Technique (Slaughter True Intent Level 1)
...
This was the peak level that the ancient master who created the Seven Killing Blade Technique could truly reach.
On the battlefield, amidst the slaughter.
Concentrating Slaughter's True Essence.
Normally, to Concentrate Slaughter's True Essence, one must endure long periods of battle and slaughter, with only a slim chance of success.
However, Austin Greenbreeze bypassed these steps by using enhancement points, directly elevating his technique.
At this moment, Austin Greenbreeze's understanding of the Seven Killing Blade Technique was on par with its creator.
To break the limit, he needed forty enhancement points.
Without hesitation, Austin Greenbreeze used the remaining forty points to elevate the Seven Killing Blade Technique to a new height.
"Boom—"
His aura transformed once more. In that moment, Austin Greenbreeze resembled a slaughter demon emerging from hell, his eyes tinged with a blood-red hue. The overwhelming killing intent in his mind surged, making him feel an urge to slaughter the world.
But he quickly suppressed this impulse.
When he looked at his attribute panel again, his Slaughter True Intent had risen to Level 2.
"Phew!"
Austin Greenbreeze exhaled deeply, closing his eyes to digest everything about the Seven Killing Blade Technique. After a long while, the blood-red hue in his eyes gradually faded.
The Seven Killing Blade Technique, now beyond the realm of superior martial arts, could be compared to the most exquisite martial arts.
In terms of technique, the Seven Killing Blade Technique remained unchanged before and after breaking the limit.
What truly differed was the mastery of the Slaughter True Intent.
With sufficient True Intent power, one could even kill with a glance.
Though it appeared that Austin Greenbreeze's cultivation had not advanced, the breakthrough of the Seven Killing Blade Technique significantly enhanced his overall strength.
This was the power of a martial art of slaughter.
Unlike the cultivation techniques that break through personal realms, the improvement of slaughter martial arts, while not allowing a martial artist to break through realms, could elevate their strength on another level.
In terms of application, a martial artist who deeply cultivates a slaughter martial art becomes unpredictable.
"Seven Killing Blade Technique, limit broken!"
"Next, I need to forge a suitable weapon. Otherwise, having the technique without a proper weapon to complement it will prevent me from fully unleashing the power of the Seven Killing Blade Technique!"
—
The next day, Austin Greenbreeze asked Matthew Peng to find several highly skilled weapon smiths to help him forge a suitable weapon.
The White Stone Path world, though not vast, was not small either, and there were clans and sects renowned for their weapon forging.
One such force was the Swordcraft Clan.
Upon hearing that the head of the Greenbreeze Family required a divine weapon, the Swordcraft Clan did not dare to refuse. They hurriedly came to pay their respects to Austin Greenbreeze and discuss the details of forging the divine weapon.
