The Power of the Demonic Soul Blade

"Cough, cough. The strength of a fourth-tier Corpse Puppet truly is extraordinary. However, if you're relying on just this level of strength, you're still far from enough." Jiang Chen sneered.

Jiang Chen put away the Silver Moon Blade.

When the Silver Moon Blade in his hand had struck the fourth-tier Faceless Corpse, it had hardly shown any power at all, unless it received a power boost.

However, the Sky Annihilation Strike consumed far too much true qi, and the Draw Sword Slash required time to charge up. The Faceless Corpse would never give Jiang Chen the time to charge.

At this moment, a black, ancient-looking long blade appeared in Jiang Chen's hand. However, Demonic Energy roiled around this long blade, making anyone who saw it shudder with fear.

The Demonic Soul Blade was still in a sealed state. If its seal were completely undone, just how terrifying would its demonic might be?

At this moment, the true qi within Jiang Chen's body also transformed into Demonic Energy, and dense Demonic Energy radiated from him.

Only by using Demonic Energy could he unleash the power of the Demonic Soul Blade.

Of course, he could also use orthodox cultivation techniques to activate the Demonic Soul Blade, but its power would be greatly reduced.

"A Demonic cultivator?" The leader of the men in black stared at the scene in shock. Just now, Jiang Chen had still been exuding an orthodox aura. How had he suddenly begun radiating such dense Demonic Energy?

Could the person before him be a Dual Cultivator of Dao and Demonic Arts?

Jiang Chen did not waste words with him. Holding the Demonic Soul Blade, he slashed at the Faceless Corpse before him.

The Faceless Corpse tried to block with its hand, but the power of the Demonic Soul Blade was too astonishing. It directly severed the Faceless Corpse's hand.

Jiang Chen swung the blade several more times, directly dismembering the Faceless Corpse. Its strength was worlds apart from before.

The power of the Demonic Soul Blade was plain to see. The Silver Moon Blade had been unable to dismember the Faceless Corpse, but now, with the Demonic Soul Blade, Jiang Chen had dismembered it in just a few moves.

The leader of the men in black was stunned. What kind of blade was the one in Jiang Chen's hand?

How could its power be so astonishing?

After killing the Faceless Corpse, Jiang Chen charged toward the leader of the men in black.

The leader's expression changed drastically. Knowing how powerful Jiang Chen was, he turned and fled.

But a black blade light flashed, directly cleaving the leader's head from his body.

A one-hit kill. This was absolutely a one-hit kill. A powerhouse at the ninth level of the Martial Master Realm had fallen just like that.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes were blood-red. He had already entered a half-demonized state.

Jiang Chen felt extremely bloodthirsty. He only wanted to kill, his mind filled with murderous intent.

However, he had not completely lost his reason yet.

After killing the leader of the men in black, Jiang Chen went to deal with the other men in black.

Jiang Chen charged into their midst. The so-called Refined Corpses could not last even one move before him. With a single slash, he directly dismembered them.

Before Jiang Chen's astonishing strength, all the Corpse Puppets were dismembered one after another.

Seeing that their leader had died and that Jiang Chen was still so powerful, the men in black wanted to flee.

But facing Jiang Chen, who was so powerful, could they escape?

Jiang Chen used Traceless Steps. Blade light flashed, and—puff, puff, puff...

Like chopping vegetables, he cut down all the remaining men in black one after another.

After Jiang Chen killed the leader of the men in black and came over to provide support, the pressure on He Yushi and Li Ji was greatly reduced.

From then on, it became Jiang Chen's solo showcase.

He killed his enemies cleanly and decisively, far more powerfully than the two of them.

The two were shocked. Did the Great Zhou Dynasty really possess such a powerful genius?

The aura radiating from Jiang Chen was only at the first level of the Martial Master Realm, yet he had crossed so many levels to kill his enemies. His combat strength was astonishing.

Moreover, the demonic aura radiating from Jiang Chen made the two of them extremely wary.

After killing all the men in black, Jiang Chen turned to look at He Yushi and Li Ji.

His blood-red eyes made He Yushi and Li Ji feel as if they were facing a great enemy. They assumed defensive stances, worried that Jiang Chen would attack them as well.

Jiang Chen had killed until his eyes had turned red. His mind was filled with kill, kill, kill, and he truly felt the urge to kill the two people before him.

However, Jiang Chen still retained his consciousness. He forcibly suppressed the urge to kill them, put away the Demonic Soul Blade, withdrew his Demonic cultivator state, and transformed the Demonic Energy in his body back into orthodox spiritual energy.

His eyes regained their clarity, and the urge to kill vanished.

Jiang Chen also began panting heavily. The battle had consumed a tremendous amount of energy. Even though his true qi capacity was far greater than that of cultivators at the same level, the martial skills he had used consumed an enormous amount of true qi. Otherwise, their destructive power could never have been so great.

Moreover, when Jiang Chen had used Demonic Energy to activate the Demonic Soul Blade, his heart had been filled with murderous intent. He had wanted only to kill every living thing before him.

Fortunately, he had still retained some consciousness and had killed only the people from the Yin Corpse Sect.

Seeing that Jiang Chen had returned to normal, He Yushi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She approached Jiang Chen and said, "Fellow Daoist, thank you for coming to our aid. The two of us are disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. My name is He Yushi."

"Li Ji," Li Ji said.

"Ah, so you're fellow Daoists from the Heavenly Sword Sect." Jiang Chen then pulled off his face covering.

When He Yushi and Li Ji saw what Jiang Chen looked like, they were both stunned. They had not expected Jiang Chen to be around the same age as them.

He seemed to be another genius.

One had to know that the two of them were also outstanding among their peers in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"I've consumed quite a lot of energy. I need to meditate and recover for a while," Jiang Chen said.

In truth, Jiang Chen simply wanted to devour the vital energy contained in the corpses of the people from the Yin Corpse Sect.

He needed to devour it quickly. Otherwise, the vital energy would dissipate after too much time passed.

Normally, after two hours, the spiritual energy within a corpse would dissipate, leaving nothing to devour.

Jiang Chen found a place and sat down. As he circulated his cultivation technique, a powerful suction force radiated from his body.

He Yushi and Li Ji also sat to the side and meditated while swallowing medicinal pills. The two of them were injured and had also expended a great deal of energy.

"Pfft." Before long, Jiang Chen's aura erupted. It was the aura of someone entering the second level of the Martial Master Realm.

"What?" He Yushi and Li Ji widened their eyes and looked toward Jiang Chen. They had not expected him to break through to the second level of the Martial Master Realm so quickly.

After merely going through a great battle and meditating for a while, he had advanced. This luck was truly enviable.

They had heard that some people might break through during battle.

Normally, when ordinary cultivators broke through, they would find a safe place to attempt to advance to a new realm. To break through so effortlessly was truly enviable.

Feeling his cultivation realm rise, Jiang Chen was delighted as well.

Jiang Chen's condition had now recovered to its peak.

Feeling his strength increase, Jiang Chen thought that if he encountered members of the Yinluo Sect, he would be even more confident.

"Congratulations on advancing, Fellow Daoist." He Yushi and Li Ji came over to congratulate Jiang Chen.

The two of them still did not know Jiang Chen's name.

"Thank you." Jiang Chen responded politely.

"By the way, may I ask how we should address you? You saved the two of us. If we get the chance in the future, we will definitely repay you handsomely," He Yushi said.

"There's no need for a great reward. I saw that they were people from the Yin Corpse Sect, so I acted out of a sense of justice," Jiang Chen said.

The Yin Corpse Sect's reputation was indeed terrible. From time to time, one would hear that some place had been massacred, with rumors claiming that people from the Yin Corpse Sect had done it.

"My name is Jiang Chen," Jiang Chen said.

These two did not seem to be bad people, and Jiang Chen's impression of them was fairly good.
