Qin Han Chu did not conceal his strength this time. He leaped into the air, blocking the escape route of the leader.
Bang!
Without hesitation, Qin Han Chu struck the opponent's chest with a palm.
Bang!
Under Qin Han Chu's power, the leading assassin was sent flying more than ten meters before crashing heavily onto the ground.
This palm contained the terrifying power of the late Grandmaster stage; even a mid-Grandmaster stage martial artist would be left gasping for breath.
"Cyborg!"
As Qin Han Chu's palm landed on the opponent, it felt like hitting a steel plate.
This was definitely not a normal human.
Under Qin Han Chu's immense strength, the leading assassin completely lost the ability to move, but he was not dead!
Qin Han Chu temporarily ignored him, as he could not let these assassins escape.
If they escaped, Qin Han Chu's true realm would be exposed.
In the dark night, Qin Han Chu turned into an illusion.
He even took out the dagger gifted by Situ Guangtao.
He used the dagger as a projectile, which shot out like a silver streak, piercing the back of a killer's head.
Drawing out the dagger, Qin Han Chu repeated the process.
Chasing for several hundred meters, all the assassins who tried to escape were killed by Qin Han Chu.
Returning to Suan Mei's side, Qin Han Chu looked down at the assassin leader.
Spiritual energy erupted, and his terrifying power shattered the leader's upper garment.
What met his eyes was a body made of a special alloy.
Even the limbs were alloy, hidden beneath artificial skin.
"As expected, cyborgs. No wonder you could withstand my spiritual energy."
Qin Han Chu's spiritual energy could shatter the internal organs of martial artists below the late Grandmaster stage.
These cyborgs, however, had alloy in their chests that seemed to absorb kinetic energy.
This was why they were able to withstand the impact of his spiritual energy earlier.
Even with Qin Han Chu at full strength, this assassin leader was only severely injured and on the verge of death, still clinging to life.
"You... you hid your strength so well... How could you possibly be... late Grandmaster..."
The assassin leader spat blood, looking at Qin Han Chu in disbelief.
According to the intel, Qin Han Chu was at the Grandmaster stage.
These cyborgs had already reached the mid to late Grandmaster stage.
With more than ten cyborgs attacking together, even a peak Grandmaster would die!
Even if they encountered an early Grandmaster, they had the ability to fight.
However, no one expected Qin Han Chu to be at the late Grandmaster stage.
This news was truly shocking.
There were no reports of such monstrous talents worldwide.
The assassin's mask was now gone.
Although he was speaking the language of Great Yan, he was actually a Westerner.
"One chance, which faction do you belong to?" Qin Han Chu asked.
"I won't tell you..."
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Han Chu struck directly, killing him.
These people could endure the pain of modification, showing the strength of their will.
Therefore, there was no need to waste any more effort on them.
"Investigate, which faction has these modified people?" Qin Han Chu said to Suan Mei.
Suan Mei nodded, "Understood."
"Do we have anyone to handle them?"
"Yes, I've already notified them to come over," Suan Mei replied.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Han Chu's people arrived.
Under Suan Mei's command, these people transported the bodies of the cyborgs back.
Although Qin Han Chu did not want the technology for creating cyborgs, it did not prevent his people from researching it.
By studying these corpses, it was possible to find clues about the mastermind.
Sitting in the car, Qin Han Chu reminded, "Do you think these cyborg bodies have tracking devices?"
Suan Mei nodded, "There should be."
"Let our people be careful not to let the other party find the base," Qin Han Chu cautioned.
Suan Mei nodded, "Yes, I'll notify them right away and tell them to bring signal jammers."
At this time, four hours had passed since Qin Han Chu was attacked.
Inside a castle in the Grand Duchy of Berlin, a plump woman in her forties entered the castle owner's study.
The castle owner was an elder with greying hair.
The elder had a high nose bridge and eyes as sharp as a falcon's.
"Master, something has happened." Entering the study, the plump woman bowed respectfully, speaking with nervousness.
Duke Lloyd put down his quill and asked softly, "What is it?"
"The team sent to Great Yan has lost contact."
"Even their location has been interfered with and cannot be found."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Duke Lloyd's eyes. "All contact lost?"
"Yes!"
"It's likely they are all dead."
Duke Lloyd stood up and looked out the window. He said, "That team was capable of fighting an early Grandmaster, and even if they encountered a mid-Grandmaster, they wouldn't be annihilated completely. At least one person should have managed to break out and report the situation."
"But they have indeed lost contact," the plump woman replied.
"Send more people to investigate what happened!"
"Perhaps they are in an area with no signal."
Lloyd was a prominent figure in the Grand Duchy of Berlin.
Although this man was not a martial artist, he could rival martial arts factions through technological means.
The cyborg team that Qin Han Chu eliminated was merely his elite force, not his true trump card.
His strongest cyborgs were on par with early Grandmasters in one-on-one combat.
However, such trump cards were few, and the investment required was immense.
He wanted to obtain Qin Han Chu's methods for helping martial artists advance, which was why he dispatched the cyborg team to capture Qin Han Chu.
"Understood, I will continue to try and contact them," the plump woman said.
"If something has truly happened, send Lis to Great Yan."
"No matter what, we must get Qin Han Chu."
Duke Lloyd said resolutely.
In the early morning, Qin Han Chu went to the backyard and sat on a futon to cultivate.
Just then, Suan Mei walked over.
Seeing Qin Han Chu still cultivating, Suan Mei stood quietly to the side, not disturbing him.
Ten minutes later, Qin Han Chu finally stood up.
"The medicinal ingredients you requested have all arrived," Suan Mei said.
"Alright, I'll go refine medicine."
With that, Qin Han Chu walked towards the well-prepared alchemy room.
With the Jade Marrow Grass, a rare primary ingredient, Qin Han Chu could refine the Jade Marrow Pill.
The Jade Marrow Pill could help martial artists condense the quality of their spiritual energy. The higher the quality of the spiritual energy, the stronger its power.
Although his realm had not improved, his personal strength could achieve a qualitative leap.
Qin Han Chu had only reached the late Grandmaster stage not long ago and needed to consolidate his foundation.
This Jade Marrow Pill was most suitable for him at the moment.
For the next month, Qin Han Chu remained in seclusion within the villa.
During this time, Fan Ling visited multiple times, but Suan Mei turned her away.
After a month of cultivation, Qin Han Chu's strength had significantly improved.
At the late Grandmaster stage, there should be no one who could defeat him.
One day, Suan Mei rushed into Qin Han Chu's cultivation room, looking anxious.
"Han Chu, something has happened," Suan Mei said urgently.
Qin Han Chu opened his eyes in surprise, "What is it?"
