Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Don't Be Silly

```

Ten steps away, the flying sword is fast.

Ten steps away, the long sword is both fast and accurate!

Wang Chen held the Wind Thunder Sword, his figure ghostlike as he darted back and forth among the crowd, bringing forth a series of fierce sword glows.

The swordsmanship he used was derived from the mortal realm.

During his time as the Guarding Heavenly Master of Nan Shao, Wang Chen had acquired a good number of cultivation manuals.

He dabbled in all eighteen types of weapons, from fists and palms to swords and spears.

Most of these manuals were of little use to Wang Chen, especially the inner strength heart methods.

But he had learned some swordsmanship and martial arts.

Because Qi Cultivators lacked the ability to fly through the air and tunnel through the earth, he often found himself in close combat with his opponents.

Mundane martial arts still had their value.

For example, in the current situation, casting spells was completely inferior to drawing a sword and killing swiftly and satisfyingly!

Most importantly, it wouldn't harm the innocent.

A good portion of the Three Rivers Association's revenue came from the Happy Gambling House, and thus, there were quite a few cultivators in charge of overseeing the venue, all of whom were brave, ruthless, and merciless.

Good families couldn't do such dark-hearted deeds.

Yet not a single one could withstand a strike of Wang Chen's sword, even those armed with Spiritual Light Armor were beheaded in one stroke.

The sharpness of a second-tier flying sword was indeed terrifying and fearsome!

Even though Wang Chen could only unleash a small part of the Wind Thunder Sword's full potential, it was more than enough to sweep through these fiendish specters.

In just a moment, more than ten members of the Three Rivers Association lay slain by his sword.

Their blood spattered on the walls, the floor, and the gambling tables.

It was an especially shocking sight.

But Wang Chen had not the slightest pity, the murderous intent in his heart boiling over even more.

He had been in Dongwu Stockade for half a year and had often heard of the Three Rivers Association's vile deeds.

Setting up rigged gambling, lending money at exorbitant rates, and extorting from hard-pressed Loose Cultivators were among the association's favorite activities, which had driven many to their deaths.

This Happy Gambling House, who knows how many Loose Cultivators it had swindled!

True, those who gambled deserved little sympathy, as those who came here seeking a fortune or a turnaround were mostly to blame for their own predicaments.

Initially, Wang Chen had no interest in meddling.

However, since the people from the Three Rivers Association had provoked him, he had no choice but to strike first!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A cluster of scorching fireballs bombarded Wang Chen, their roaring flames loud and intense!

It was a Three Rivers Association cultivator seizing the opportunity, casting three Essence Blood Talismans in quick succession.

At the same time, several other cultivators either formed magical hand signs or wielded their weapons, rushing towards Wang Chen with roars of anger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three balls of flame hadn't even gotten close before being sliced through by the Wind Thunder Sword, countless sparks flying everywhere.

He was somewhat speechless.

Because the Magical Talismans the opponent used to attack Wang Chen were actually the Meteor Fire Talismans he himself had sold at the market!

Wang Chen was naturally all too familiar with his own crafted Talismans.

This was actually quite reasonable.

Selling weapons to one's enemies, that's what real arms dealers do!

With a thought, his form suddenly vanished on the spot, narrowly avoiding the attacks from all around.

Shrinking Ground into Inches!

The next moment, Wang Chen appeared ten steps away.

With one slash, he decapitated a Three Rivers Association cultivator!

As the victim's blood had just begun to spray out, Wang Chen flashed again behind another cultivator.

One stroke pierced through his heart!

[Heavenly Merit +7]

In the span of a few breaths, Wang Chen had gained another ten or so points of Heavenly Merit, bringing the evening's total gain to over a hundred points.

At this moment, the remaining Three Rivers Association cultivators were falling apart!

Actually, their persistence until now was already quite remarkable.

You must know, from the get-go, Wang Chen had displayed overwhelming power, cutting down his foes like mowing grass, with no enemy lasting more than a single exchange.

In such a situation, it was a wonder that these Three Rivers Association cultivators hadn't fled immediately but had instead mounted a counterattack.

```

The courage to fight still lingered.

But after all, they had not truly sold their lives to the Three Rivers Association. The immense gap in power and the brutal, meaningless deaths of their comrades crushed everyone's will.

No one knew who it was that let out a strange cry first, leading the way to dash outside.

The others, as if awakening from a dream, scattered in terror, each trying to escape.

Think you can run?

It won't be that easy!

Wang Chen immediately conjured the Wind Thunder Sword, using Great Perfection-level Sword Control to command the second-tier Flying Sword to pursue and slaughter the remaining enemies.

Just now the crowd was too large and he was somewhat restricted, but now that the gamblers and croupiers had all fled, there was enough space for the Flying Sword to carry out its final task.

A Three Rivers Association cultivator who had just escaped the gambling house felt a chill on his neck, and then toppled forward onto the street.

"Ah!"

Screams echoed one after another.

Some were decapitated, others were cut in half at the waist, not dying immediately.

"Help me~" Read exclusive chapters at m_v-l'-NovelBin.net

However, the shops around the Happy Gambling House promptly shut their doors, and the nearby households snuffed out their fires or hid their Luminous Stones.

No one came out to gawk, much less to help these Three Rivers Association cultivators being slaughtered!

The screaming quickly ceased.

The vast gambling house fell eerily quiet, the main hall in disorder, with Low Spirits and Fragmented Spirit Stones scattered all over the ground.

Wang Chen waved his sleeve, taking the Wind Thunder Sword that had flown back into his sleeve.

He said indifferently, "Come out."

After a moment, a heavily made-up woman crawled out from under the gaming table.

She knelt before Wang Chen, crying and pleading, "Immortal Master, spare my life, please don't kill me, no!"

It was the croupier, Jin Niang.

"Don't be foolish."

Wang Chen said with a smile, "I don't kill women."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pointed out, and a Geng Metal Finger pierced through the woman's head.

Jin Niang shuddered, falling to the ground with an expression of sheer disbelief.

In her right hand, she was unmistakably holding a talisman.

Essence Blood Talismans!

Wang Chen shook his head.

He truly did not kill women.

But those who harbored evil intentions towards him were not women, but enemies!

Next, Wang Chen began to clean up the battlefield.

All of the Three Rivers Association cultivators' Storage Bags were taken off and collected, and the Spirit Stones on the ground, including Fragmented Spirits, were not spared either.

Even a mosquito was meat, and the higher the Cultivation Level, the more resources were consumed.

Managing resources efficiently was extremely important!

After a full sweep inside and out, Wang Chen had collected over a dozen Storage Bags.

The contents would have to be sorted through back home.

A few thousand Spirit Stones were assured!

The Happy Gambling House might not look very big, but its daily turnover was astonishingly large, and the Spirit Stones earned, even after paying the necessary overheads, left a generous profit for the Three Rivers Association.

And the members of the Three Rivers Association had some personal wealth as well.

At this time, figures began to appear on the streets outside.

The main force of the Three Rivers Association, along with the cultivators from Dongwu Defense Hall, had arrived!

Wang Chen saw a familiar face among them.

Good, they're here!

He hadn't had enough fun killing tonight!

Wang Chen formed a spell with his hands, and a massive Heavy Winged Fire Crow suddenly materialized, spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.

The next moment, it dove down towards the crowd with a roar!
