Seven Fiends Saber Technique, Perfected!

Lin Feng's figure, like a vulture circling the battlefield, moved silently between rooftops and shadows.

He didn't head to the main street to rendezvous with Chu Mengxi and the other two. Instead, relying on the real-time "map" provided by Huang Fugui, he precisely navigated the fringes of the battlefield.

These areas were also teeming with maddened citizens and Walking Corpses corrupted by demonic energy, but they lacked the suppression of the Demon Suppression Division's experts. Consequently, the threat to ordinary civilians was even greater.

More importantly, these areas were far from Chu Mengxi's line of sight, making them his perfect "grinding spots."

"Swish!"

A cold blade light flashed from a pitch-black alley.

The heads of five or six Walking Corpses, which had been surrounding a household, flew straight into the sky.

Lin Feng's figure touched and left, not even glancing at the fallen bodies. The saber in his hand remained unstained by blood.

[Ding! Successfully killed First Order Walking Corpse X6!]

[Crit Multiplier increased to 15.2x! Gained 60 Crit Points!]

The system notification echoing in his mind made the smile on Lin Feng's lips deepen.

"Not bad. Although the experience per kill is a bit low, the sheer volume makes up for it."

He was like the most efficient butcher, embarking on a frenzied harvest in the chaotic city.

His movement technique was too fast, his saber technique too sharp.

With his Flowing Wind Steps at perfection, he moved like a phantom, weaving through armies without a single leaf clinging to him.

Although his Seven Fiends Saber Technique was just newly learned, with the 15x critical multiplier and the True Qi of the Sixth Level of Meridian Opening Realm, it was still like slicing vegetables for these low-level fiends. One strike each, without any hesitation.

Wherever he passed, hordes of Walking Corpses fell, and the pressure on the once precarious districts eased significantly.

His Crit Points, like a rolling snowball, grew at an astonishing rate.

[Crit Points: 2500... 4000... 7800... 12000...]

[Crit Multiplier: 16.5x... 18.3x... 21.7x...]

Meanwhile, on the main battlefield.

Chu Mengxi and the other two were locked in an unprecedented struggle.

After the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array was activated, more and more fiends emerged from all directions. Among them were even "Blood Fiend Ghost Soldiers" whose strength rivaled that of high-level Body Tempering realm cultivators. These monsters were fearless, incredibly strong, and extremely difficult to deal with.

"Pfft!"

Zhao Tie roared, smashing the head of a Blood Fiend Ghost Soldier with a punch. However, his arm was also slashed by the creature's claws, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds that bled profusely.

"This is too much! We can't kill them all!"

Zhao Tie panted, his face pale.

"Careful!"

Li Rui exclaimed, rapidly tapping with his Judge's Brush to block a fatal sneak attack on Zhao Tie. However, he himself was sent flying by another Ghost Soldier, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

The two of them, after all, only had the cultivation of the First or Second Level of Meridian Opening Realm. Facing this endless tide of monsters, their True Qi was rapidly depleted, and they were already covered in wounds, struggling to cope.

Only Chu Mengxi's combat power remained astonishing.

She was like a war goddess in the snow, her longsword dancing, unleashing streaks of icy sword energy that crisscrossed the area. Wherever they passed, fiends were frozen into ice sculptures before shattering into pieces.

However, her expression grew increasingly grim.

She discovered that the blood energy and resentment emanating from the slain fiends were not dissipating. Instead, they were all absorbed by the blood-colored grand array in the sky, causing the array's color to become deeper and more sinister.

"Boss! Look at the direction of the County Office's dungeon!"

Li Rui suddenly pointed into the distance with alarm.

Deep within the County Office, the massive blood-colored pillar that served as the main array's focal point was now wildly twisting and expanding, forming a colossal blood-colored vortex.

A terrifying aura, so suffocating it made one's heart palpitate, was slowly gestating and awakening within the vortex!

"This is bad! That monstrous entity is about to be born!" Chu Mengxi's face changed drastically.

She scanned her surroundings. Although the chaos in the city had been somewhat contained due to their fierce fighting, that damned Lin Feng had never appeared!

Occasionally, she could sense brief, intense energy fluctuations from the city's outskirts, but they quickly vanished.

In her opinion, Lin Feng was merely clearing out some insignificant stragglers, not participating in the core battle at all!

"What a coward!"

Chu Mengxi cursed him inwardly, her disappointment in Lin Feng reaching its peak.

She even thought that if she survived this incident, the first thing she would do was report to the General Division and revoke Lin Feng's title as an Iron Token Demon Slayer!

The Demon Suppression Division would never harbor cowardly scum!

"You two, hold this position and wait for me!"

Chu Mengxi made a decisive move, unable to wait any longer.

She had to nip that monstrous entity in the bud before it fully formed!

Before her words even fell, she transformed into an icy blue streak of light and, disregarding everything, charged towards the direction of the County Office's dungeon.

At this moment, Lin Feng was standing atop a clock tower, leisurely viewing his system panel with the joy of a bountiful harvest on his face.

[Host: Lin Feng]
[Realm: Sixth Level of Meridian Opening Realm]
[Cultivation Technique: Blazing Sun Art (Proficient)]
[Martial Skill: Seven Fiends Saber Technique (Beginner)]
[Movement Skill: Flowing Wind Steps (Mastered)]
[Crit Multiplier: 25x]
[Crit Points: 26500]

In just half an hour of "edge-sitting" and observing, he had already slain no less than a thousand Walking Corpses and low-level demonic beasts.

Crit Points had finally broken through the 20,000 mark!

"System!"

Lin Feng stood atop the clock tower, the night wind ruffling his robes, his gaze calmer and more focused than ever before.

[Ding! Detected sufficient Crit Points for host. Confirm consumption of 20000 Crit Points to upgrade Seven Fiends Saber Technique to Mastered realm?]

"Confirm!"

Without the slightest hesitation.

BOOM!!!

A sense of killing intent, vaster and purer than any before, poured into his sea of consciousness like a breached celestial river!

If learning the Seven Fiends Saber Technique initially was like a grandmaster practicing in one's mind.

Then this time, Lin Feng felt as if he had personally transformed into that peerless swordsman who slaughtered gods and demons, having experienced thousands upon thousands of bloody battles!

From the first stance, "Fierce Fiend Splits Mountains," to the seventh stance, "Divine Fiend Returns to Origin," the essence, profundity, and variations of every move, as well as the unyielding killing intent contained within, had perfectly merged with his soul!

His muscles, his bones, his meridians, even every single cell, seemed to have developed the memory of a blade!

What is a blade?

A blade is the overlord among weapons, an extension of slaughter.

Unstoppable, invincible!

As the last trace of understanding integrated into his soul, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze hadn't changed; it remained as placid as an ancient well.

But his entire demeanor had undergone a seismic shift.

If he was a sharp blade hidden within its sheath before.

Then at this moment, he was the blade itself!

Where he stood, he was a peerless, ferocious weapon capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth!

Seven Fiends Saber Technique, Mastered!

"Not enough."

Lin Feng's gaze once again turned towards the direction of the county office's dungeon.

The terrifying aura that was awakening there grew stronger and stronger, subtly surpassing the scope of the Meridian Opening Realm and reaching a higher level of existence!

Peak Meridian Opening Realm?

That oppressive aura was far beyond what a Meridian Opening Realm martial artist could contend with!

True Qi Realm!

Although Chu Mengxi was powerful, Lin Feng estimated she was at most at the seventh or eighth level of the True Qi Realm.

Her chances against that rapidly growing ferocious creature were uncertain.

"I must break through again!"

Lin Feng frowned, looking at the remaining 6500 Crit Points.

This amount was insufficient to upgrade the Blazing Sun Art to Mastered.

His gaze swept over the chaotic streets below once more.

There were still countless "experience packs" there!

"Looks like I'll have to work a little harder."

Lin Feng's figure vanished again, transforming into a lightning bolt that harvested lives, charging into the most densely populated area of monsters.

This time, his efficiency was more than ten times faster than before!

With the Seven Fiends Saber Technique at the Mastered realm, combined with the 25x crit multiplier, its power had reached a terrifying level.

He was no longer killing one by one, but one strike clearing an area!

Blade light flashed, malevolent energy surged, and within a ten-meter radius, all Walking Corpses and Ghost Soldiers turned into dust!

[Ding! Successfully killed... Crit multiplier increased to 25.1x! Gained 100 Crit Points!]

[Ding! Successfully killed... Crit multiplier increased to 25.5x! Gained 300 Crit Points!]

[Ding! Successfully killed Blood Fiend Ghost Soldier! Crit multiplier increased to 26x! Gained 500 Crit Points!]

The system notifications were flooding his mind like a frenzy.

Crit Points were once again soaring wildly!
