Slaying an Innate Realm Cultivator

The Innate Protective Qi transformed into a layer of light, protecting Cao Ren's body from all angles. However, with the Explosive Steps, Zhuge Xiang activated his Sword Intent and Bloodthirsty Technique, unleashing his Blood Thunder Slash. The deafening thunderous sound was Human Heart, and the fierce and powerful Sword Light transformed into a blood-red streak, flashing like a meteor, and fiercely slashed at Cao Ren's Innate Protective Qi.

The Protective Qi Barrier possessed only by those at the Innate Realm level is inherently formidable in its defensive power. However, with the enhancement of Sword Intent, the effect of the Bloodthirsty Technique, and the Blood Thunder Slash Skill, Zhuge Xiang's attack power reached a terrifying level of 4000 points. This strike can be considered Zhuge Xiang's strongest attack. If the power of this strike, combined with its element of surprise, still fails to defeat his opponent, then Zhuge Xiang will truly be out of options.

The blood-red, eerie Sword Light, accompanied by terrifying Wind and Thunder sounds, slammed fiercely into the Protective Qi Barrier. The other disciple of the Qingxu Sword Sect Innate Realm, paled and cried out in his heart, "Oh no!" But even if he wanted to help, it was too late. Zhuge Xiang's sword was simply too fast.

The oval-shaped Protective Qi Barrier was severely distorted and deeply dented under the attack of the Blood Thunder Slash. Then, the Protective Qi Barrier, twisted to its extreme, suddenly shattered like a broken eggshell. The Innate Qi Energy could no longer be maintained and dissipated into the air. The terrifying power of the Blood Thunder Slash slammed heavily into the body of this Innate Realm disciple...

Although most of its power was depleted by the Protective Qi Barrier, the remaining attacks could not be blocked by Spell Manipulation and the physical body alone.

Amidst screams, blood blossomed. Zhuge Xiang 'Zhuge Xiang sword cleaved a massive gash in Cao Ren's chest. Several of his ribs were Sword Slash, his abdomen ripped open, and his intestines were nearly spilling out, a truly gruesome sight.

He severely injured his opponent with a single sword strike, but did not kill him. "As expected of someone who has reached the Innate Realm, "Zhuge Xiang thought to himself, but his movements were swift. With a flick of his wrist, the Sword of Slaughter transformed into a blood-red Sword Light once more, slashing towards his opponent's chest. At this moment, the opponent's soft internal organs and heart were completely defenseless; one strike would surely kill him.

"You bastard! Stop right now!" The other disciple at the Innate Realm, seeing the danger, changed his expression drastically and, without thinking twice, hurriedly got up and pounced on Zhuge Xiang.

Influenced by the Sword Intent, using a sword would actually be countered. This disciple of the Innate Realm went all out, throwing a punch at Zhuge Xiang's head, attempting to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao, forcing Zhuge Xiang to save himself.

Call out!

However, Cao Ren, who was in danger, had companions, as did Zhuge Xiang. Several dazzling flashes of cold light appeared, Mo Wuyan made his move.

Wearing gloves adorned with Magic Artifact, Mo Wuyan's hands, like eagle claws, instantly seized the fist of the Qingxu Sword Sect's Innate Realm expert, making it difficult for him to break free. He said coldly, "A life-or-death Duel between two people is not open to third-party interference. Don't break the rules. If you really want to fight, I'm willing to accompany you to the end."

Seeing the fierce Sword Light approaching, the threat to his life made Cao Ren's hair stand on end. After all, he was a cultivator at the Innate Realm, and his reaction was still very fast in this life-or-death situation. At the same time, a dark blue Magic Artifact Ring on Cao Ren's finger flashed, and an indescribable chill came over him. Before Zhuge Xiang could react, a thick block of ice instantly condensed on his body, completely freezing him. The fierce attack was also frozen in the ice.

"Haha, how could I forget Cao Ren's Ice Seal Ring?" Seeing Zhuge Xiang's body frozen in ice, the disciples of the Qingxu Sword Sect secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could freeze him, killing him would be much easier.

Bang...

However, Zhuge Xiang had just been frozen, and before Cao Ren and the other disciples of the Qingxu Sword Sect could fully relax, the ice that had been sealing Zhuge Xiang suddenly shattered, turning into countless tiny Ice Shards that flew everywhere. Zhuge Xiang, who had broken out of the ice, thrust his Sword of Slaughter fiercely into Cao Ren's torn chest, piercing through his soft heart with a single blow.

Cao Ren's face froze. He stared wide-eyed at Zhuge Xiang in disbelief, clearly unable to comprehend how his Ice Chains, which had supposedly frozen him, could break free. Sadly, he would never know.

As Zhuge Xiang his Sword of Slaughter, he secretly rejoiced. From the moment he made his move to being frozen and then breaking free to kill his opponent, the process seemed long, but in reality, it was only a short time. Zhuge Xiang's victory, and even his killing of his opponent, was not only due to his Skill and equipment, but more importantly, to his tactical arrangements.

The Sword Cultivator, restrained by the Sword Intent, was like a tiger with its teeth pulled. In addition, Zhuge Xiang's attack, launched unexpectedly, severely injured the opponent. At the critical moment, the active effect of the True King Necklace eliminated all negative statuses and broke Zhuge Xiang's ice seal, finally killing the opponent. The cultivation of the Innate Realm was indeed not so easy to kill. The main reason why he was able to succeed in such a short time was the unexpected Sword Intent.

"You bastard, you actually killed him!" The other Qingxu Sword Sect disciple stared wide-eyed at his companion's death, his eyes bloodshot. The other ten disciples also looked indignant. If looks could kill, Zhuge Xiang would have been riddled with holes long ago.

"In Duel, swords have no eyes, and mistakes are inevitable. I never imagined that a disciple of the Qingxu Sword Sect with the cultivation of the Innate Realm would die at the hands of a disciple of the Meridian Opening Realm like me," Zhuge Xiang said calmly, gripping the Sword of Slaughter tightly in his hand, looking at the remaining disciples of the Qingxu Sword Sect. His calm demeanor made it seem as if he had only killed some stray cat or dog on the street.

"Haha, you're right. We overestimated you. We're sorry, we didn't expect that your Qingxu Sword Sect Disciples, despite having the cultivation of the Innate Realm, would be inferior in combat power to even our Asura Sect's Meridian Opening Realm disciples."

Several Asura Sect Inner Sect also laughed along with Zhuge Xiang, loudly mocking him, saying that it was a great blow to the reputation of the Qingxu Sword Sect that a cultivator with the cultivation of the Innate Realm Meridian Opening Realm.

"You bastards, we'll fight you to the death!" Seeing their fellow disciples being slaughtered alive, and hearing the merciless sarcasm from the Asura Sect, the remaining Qingxu Sword Sect Disciples were blinded by rage and were ready to fight without thinking.

"Wait, let's go," however, the other disciple at the Innate Realm spoke up, stopping his fellow disciples.

"Senior Brother Long Jianming, what did you say? Senior Brother Cao Ren was killed, and we're just going to let it go like this?" Some disciples of the Qingxu Sword Sect stared wide-eyed in astonishment, unable to believe their eyes as they looked at the remaining disciple at the Innate Realm.

"Let's take Cao Ren's body back first. I will explain this matter to the Sect Master Master." Shaking his head, Long Jianming's eyes also showed a strong sense of unwillingness, but he was pragmatic and knew that if they made a move now, they would definitely lose even more miserably.

Without waiting for his fellow disciples to answer, Long Jianming turned around, gave Zhuge Xiang a deep look, and said, "We, the Qingxu Sword Sect, admit defeat today. We will repay you in full when the opportunity arises. Let's go."

His last words were addressed to his fellow disciples. The remaining Qingxu Sword Sect Disciples lifted Cao Ren's body and followed Long Jianming out of the Flower Full Building.

"Wait a minute," Zhuge Xiang said, stopping the other party.

"What else do you want? Do you intend to wipe us all out?" Turning his head, Long Jianming stared intently at Zhuge Xiang and asked in a deep voice. The other disciples also clearly looked ready to fight to the death.

"This guy Duel me, and now that he's dead, his corpse and the Magic Artifact on his body are all my spoils of war. You can't take them away," Zhuge Xiang said, pointing to Cao Ren's corpse.

"You bastard, don't push your luck!" A person was killed, and they can't even take the body away? The disciples of the Qingxu Sword Sect were all furious, and even Long Jianming's face was more ugly than ever before.

"Senior Brother Mo, what should we do if someone tries to seize our Asura Sect's property?" Zhuge Xiang ignored the words of these Qingxu Sword Sect Disciples and turned to ask Mo Wuyan beside him.

Mo Wuyan naturally understood Zhuge Xiang's meaning, and without thinking, he said, "Sect's rules, if anyone dares to seize the property of our Asura Sect Disciples, we will spare no expense to kill all those who try to take it."

"Then I'll have to trouble you all, fellow disciples," Zhuge Xiang Qingxu Sword Sect to Mo Wuyan and the others, as he activated his sword Sword Intent Sword Intent State once more.

Nodding in understanding, Mo Wuyan pushed off with his feet and charged towards the strongest, Long Jianming. The other twenty-odd disciples also moved in unison, their killing intent fierce. Suppressed by Zhuge Xiang's Sword Intent, these Qingxu Sword Sect disciples could only muster six or seven tenths of their full strength, which was already quite remarkable. Facing more than twenty Inner Sect Disciple of the Asura Sect, the difference in strength immediately turned around.

More than twenty disciples, along with Mo Wuyan, a second- Second Layer Innate Realm, were caught off guard. Unable to dodge, escape, or block, Long Jianming had no choice but to muster all his strength and shout, "Wait! You can have all the Magic Artifact on Cao Ren's body, as long as we can take his corpse back!"

One by one, the fierce-looking Asura Sect Inner Sect stopped. Weapons hung above the heads of these Qingxu Sword Sect Disciples. Turning their heads, these Asura Sect Disciples, seemingly led by Zhuge Xiang, were all waiting for his answer. Whether it was strength or ruthless courage, Zhuge Xiang had firmly conquered these Asura Sect Inner Sect.

"No! The corpse is also my spoils! Even if it's useless, it can at least be used to feed Monster Beast! Unless you can offer me something that tempts me, I won't let this corpse go," Zhuge Xiang shook his head, determined to keep his spoils and not let anything slip by. (To be continued...)
