Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 384 - 381: Harvest

```html

Chu Zhiyuan felt himself gradually getting into the zone.

The Glazed Blade Scripture is both a mental method and a sword technique, and he rarely practiced this sword technique usually.

At this moment, when he performed it in conjunction with the mental method of the Glazed Blade Scripture, he felt extremely light.

He seemed to merge with the Bright Moon Saber, moving lightly, without any hindrance, without any restraint.

Each weapon, each silhouette, was a target to weave through.

Their attacks became slow and clumsy, rigid and sluggish.

Compared to his lightness and agility, it seemed like slow motion.

Even though there were many people and dense swords, they posed no threat to him, like slicing through butter.

Each slash across a neck brought a faint cool aura from the blade, enhancing the sword’s spirituality.

Chu Zhiyuan became more and more in tune with the sword’s spirituality, feeling the sword growing stronger and more agile, and himself becoming more agile as well.

After the sword intent and sword spirit merged, during the dance of killing, the sword intent underwent an inexplicable transformation.

It became purer, more refined.

Such a transformation was impossible to achieve through arduous cultivation in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

This Glazed Blade Scripture turned out to be a killing sword technique.

Chu Zhiyuan immersed himself in this wonder while remaining clear-headed.

When he stopped the blade, all the elites of the Swallowing Heaven Sect had already been slaughtered by him.

Li Hongzhao and the other six experts stared at him.

He gently flicked the Bright Moon Saber, the blade was bright and flawless, without a trace of blood, without the smell of blood.

The stench came from the blood, from the headless corpses standing upright.

He ran his left hand across the Bright Moon Saber, feeling the surge in the blade’s spirituality, revealing a smile.

He stood among the upright corpses, amidst the flowing blood, caressing the blade and smiling, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

Li Hongzhao sheathed his sword: "What an incredible sword technique!"

"Overpraised." Chu Zhiyuan glanced around, looking at the two not far away Grandmasters.

The two Grandmasters were relentlessly entangled.

One was already on the verge of exploding with anger, the other was tightly entangling him, preventing him from coming over.

Chu Zhiyuan floated into a wooden house and then quickly came out, sternly saying: "Let’s retreat."

Li Hongzhao shouted: "Go!"

Once a Grandmaster fought desperately, it was most terrifying, they might get caught up in it.

As for Su Qiuyan, she naturally had the ability to protect herself, they didn’t need to worry about her.

What they had to worry about was their own lives, staying here would only distract Su Qiuyan.

The group swiftly fled into the distance, disappearing from the Grandmaster’s sight in the blink of an eye.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly stopped, waving his hand: "Let’s part ways here."

Li Hongzhao looked at the six people: "You go ahead, leave quickly, don’t delay. Shen Siming, you take them back."

"Yes." The middle-aged man who spoke earlier solemnly clasped his fists.

"Let’s go." Li Hongzhao waved his hand.

"Your Highness, you..."

"I’ll wait for Mr. Su."

"Then I will go ahead."

"Go, go." Li Hongzhao waved her jade hand.

The six clasped their fists, gave a fist salute to Chu Zhiyuan as well, and turned to rush out.

Li Hongzhao watched them depart, her phoenix eyes flickering, seemingly thoughtful.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Did you see through it?"

"No." Li Hongzhao shook her head, turned to look at him: "Is there really a problem?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It might just be my imagination, my misperception."

The two arrived at the peak of the mountain, able to see the two Grandmasters battling atop the treetops.

A flying knife had already slipped out from Chu Zhiyuan’s sleeve, hovering a meter above his head.

Li Hongzhao remained silent.

Chu Zhiyuan’s words implied that this matter was indeed true.

The flying knife transformed into a clear shimmering light, gently drifting towards the distance, drifting towards the battlefield of the two Grandmasters locked in combat.

The knife contained the sword intent he had just condensed, incredibly pure sword intent.

The Grandmaster, who was slowly exchanging blows with Su Qiuyan, was a middle-aged man.

His appearance was ordinary, unnoticeable in a crowd.

But in Su Qiuyan and Li Hongzhao’s eyes, he left a deep impression, teeth-gritting hatred.

Without this Grandmaster, the Swallowing Heaven Sect would never have dared to attempt assassination in Yujing.

Chu Zhiyuan also gritted his teeth in hatred.

How dare they intrude into Yujing City for assassination!

The Grandmasters of the Grandmaster Mansion had not yet acted, perhaps because it happened too quickly, leaving no clues.

It could also be because it involved Da Meng, deliberately stalling for time.

But regardless, daring to assassinate within Yujing City Inner City is unforgivable.

He absolutely would not allow him to live, even if he were a Grandmaster, he too must die.

The flying knife lightly shot towards him.

He immediately focused his spirit, already warned about the bizarre nature of the flying knife.

Su Qiuyan’s spirit immediately lifted.

The flying knife shot towards the middle-aged man, the sword intent on the knife suddenly exploded, causing him to halt momentarily.

Su Qiuyan was overjoyed, with a slap to the chest.

The middle-aged man spat out a blood arrow with a "poof" sound.

Another flying knife had already reached close proximity.

He froze again, the domain formed by the visualization was disrupted.

Su Qiuyan once more slapped the same spot, causing him to spurt another blood arrow.

As he spat out this blood arrow, the first flying knife suddenly shot into his brow.

The flying knife burst with intense cold light.

The middle-aged man’s brow suddenly brightened, coalescing a jet-black light to block the knife.

Like ink dancing in sunlight with a black sheen.

Su Qiuyan ghost-like floated behind him, lightly and gracefully slapped his nape.

"Pop." A light sound echoed within his skull, like the sound of a watermelon cracking.

Then the divine light in his eyes quickly dimmed, crashing heavily to the ground with a "bang".

After hitting the ground, the divine light in his eyes completely extinguished, he was already dead.

"Phew——!"

Su Qiuyan let out a long breath, looking at the middle-aged man lying on the ground.

She had actually killed a Grandmaster!

It’s incredibly difficult for a Grandmaster to kill another Grandmaster; they almost always lose but do not die.

Now, with Chu Zhiyuan’s help, she had actually killed her old adversary of several decades.

For a moment, her mood was inexplicably complicated.

There was both a feeling of exhilaration and a touch of disbelief.

Disbelief that this old rival who could not be killed in any way, was so easily slain.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Let’s go, let’s take a look."

Li Hongzhao stood at the mountain peak, witnessing everything that had happened.

She looked at Chu Zhiyuan in astonishment.

Chu Zhiyuan said indifferently: "I can only interfere a bit, can’t kill a Grandmaster."

A Grandmaster’s spiritual power is superior to Gang Qi, to kill them requires hitting the head.

Yet, many Grandmasters’ spiritual energy even covers the head.

So before, I couldn’t deal with Grandmasters, could only interfere.

But after training to the Spirit Transformation Realm, with sword intent now on the blade, it’s different.

Sword intent can directly invade the brain, interfering with Grandmasters’ visualizations, affecting spiritual energy circulation.

If the sword intent is strong enough, I might be able to kill a Grandmaster.

Now it seems my sword intent is still insufficient, trying to kill a Grandmaster still falls short.

"This is formidable enough." Li Hongzhao shook her head, "This time, we owe it to you."

Those Grandmasters below, under Chu Zhiyuan’s blade, were no match.

But it didn’t mean they weren’t powerful.

If they were driven to desperation and used the Jade and Stone Burning move, our experts might not have been able to withdraw intact.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Then repay duly, don’t conceal anything with intelligence."

"I’ve decided; from now on, I will tell you the happenings at Wentian Cliff."

"That couldn’t be better." Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Su Qiuyan searched the middle-aged man’s body, found nothing, and floated over to them.

She looked at Chu Zhiyuan complexly.

Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists and smiled: "Mr. Su, no need to thank me."

Su Qiuyan smiled: "Still, I must thank you, if not for you, truly..."

Being assassinated but unable to do anything about it, that’s truly frustrating, especially with an Evil Sect like the Swallowing Heaven Sect.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Since they dared to come to Yujing City for assassination, how could they be allowed to leave alive?"

Su Qiuyan nodded.

"Let’s go." Chu Zhiyuan glanced at the valley below, turned, and floated away.

Inside the spatial iron ring lay a pitch-black box, which was the Sealing Spirit Box.
