The Might of the Demonic Soul Blade

"Cough, cough, the strength of a fourth-tier Corpse Puppet is indeed extraordinary, but it's not enough to defeat me with just this much power," Jiang Chen sneered.

Jiang Chen sheathed the Silver Moon Blade.

When the Silver Moon Blade was swung at the fourth-tier Formless Corpse, it didn't have much power at all, unless there was a power boost.

However, the Sky Annihilation Strike consumed a lot of true qi, and the Draw Sword Slash required charging. The Formless Corpse would never give Jiang Chen the time to charge.

At this moment, a black, ancient-looking long saber appeared in Jiang Chen's hand. However, this saber emanated waves of demonic energy, sending chills down one's spine.

This Demonic Soul Blade was still in a sealed state. If the seal were completely broken, what kind of demonic might would it possess?

Jiang Chen's true qi also transformed into demonic energy, and a dense aura of demonic energy emanated from him.

Only by using demonic energy could the power of the Demonic Soul Blade be unleashed.

Of course, one could also use righteous cultivation methods to activate the Demonic Soul Blade, but its power would be greatly reduced.

"Demonic cultivator?" The leader of the black-clothed men exclaimed in shock, watching this scene. Just now, Jiang Chen had an aura of righteousness, but in the blink of an eye, he was emitting such dense demonic energy?

Could this person before them be cultivating both righteous and demonic paths?

Jiang Chen didn't waste any words with the opponent. Holding the Demonic Soul Blade, he slashed at the Formless Corpse before him.

The Formless Corpse tried to block with its hand, but the power of the Demonic Soul Blade was astonishing, directly severing the Formless Corpse's hand.

Jiang Chen swung a few more times, directly dismembering the Formless Corpse. The difference in strength was immense compared to before.

The power of the Demonic Soul Blade was evident. The Silver Moon Blade couldn't dismember the Formless Corpse earlier, but now, the Demonic Soul Blade did it in just a few moves.

The leader of the black-clothed men was greatly alarmed. What kind of saber was Jiang Chen holding?

How could its power be so astonishing?

After killing the Formless Corpse, Jiang Chen charged towards the leader of the black-clothed men.

The leader of the black-clothed men's face changed drastically. Knowing Jiang Chen's prowess, he turned to flee.

But a flash of black saber light streaked across, directly severing the leader of the black-clothed men's head.

A swift kill, this was definitely a swift kill. A powerful expert at the Martial Master Realm, Ninth Level, had fallen just like that.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes were blood-red, and he was in a semi-demonic state.

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

However, he had not completely lost his reason yet.

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

Jiang Chen charged into the midst of the black-clothed men. The so-called refined corpses couldn't withstand even one move from Jiang Chen. With a single slash, they were directly dismembered.

Under Jiang Chen's astonishing strength, all the corpse puppets were dismembered.

Seeing their leader dead and Jiang Chen's immense strength, the black-clothed men wanted to escape.

But facing such a powerful Jiang Chen, could they escape?

Jiang Chen used Traceless Steps, saber light flashed, pu pu pu...

Like slicing through vegetables, he slew all the remaining black-clothed men.

Since Jiang Chen arrived and killed the leader of the black-clothed men, He Yushi and Li Ji's pressure was greatly reduced.

What followed was Jiang Chen's solo performance.

He killed his enemies swiftly and decisively, far more powerful than the two of them.

The two were shocked. Was there such a powerful genius in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

The aura emanating from Jiang Chen was only at the Martial Master Realm, First Level, yet he could kill enemies across so many levels. His combat power was truly astonishing.

Furthermore, the demonic aura emanating from Jiang Chen made both of them extremely wary.

After killing all the black-clothed men, 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 postures, worried that Jiang Chen might attack them as well.

Jiang Chen's eyes were red with killing intent. His mind was filled with thoughts of killing, and he truly had the impulse to kill the two before him.

However, Jiang Chen still maintained some consciousness. He forcefully suppressed the urge to kill them, sheathed the Demonic Soul Blade, and withdrew his demonic cultivator state. The true qi in his body returned to righteous spiritual energy.

His eyes regained clarity, and the urge to kill disappeared.

Jiang Chen also panted heavily. The battle had consumed a great deal of energy. Even though his true qi capacity was much larger than that of cultivators at the same level, the martial skills he used were extremely draining. Otherwise, their lethality wouldn't have been so immense.

Moreover, when Jiang Chen used demonic energy to activate the Demonic Soul Blade, his heart was filled with murderous intent, wanting only to kill all living beings before him.

Fortunately, however, he still possessed a certain degree of consciousness, and only killed the people from the Yin Corpse Sect.

Seeing that Jiang Chen had returned to normal, He Yushi finally breathed a sigh of relief and approached him. "Fellow Daoist, thank you for your help. We are disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. My name is He Yushi."

"Li Ji," Li Ji added.

"Ah, so you are fellow Daoists from the Heavenly Sword Sect," Jiang Chen said, pulling off his mask.

He Yushi and Li Ji were stunned to see Jiang Chen's appearance. They hadn't expected Jiang Chen to be around their age.

He must also be a genius.

You have to understand, the two of them were already considered top talents among their peers in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"I'm quite drained, I need some time to recover," Jiang Chen said.

In reality, Jiang Chen simply wanted to absorb the vital energy from the corpses of the Yin Corpse Sect members.

He needed to absorb it quickly, otherwise the vital energy would dissipate over time.

Generally, after two hours, the spiritual energy within corpses would vanish, leaving nothing to absorb.

Jiang Chen found a spot and sat down, circulating his cultivation technique. A powerful suction emanated from his body.

He Yushi and Li Ji also sat to the side, recuperating and taking pills. Both of them were injured and had expended a lot of energy.

"Pfft." Before long, Jiang Chen's aura erupted, signifying his breakthrough to the Martial Master Realm, Second Level.

"What?" He Yushi and Li Ji's eyes widened as they looked in Jiang Chen's direction. They hadn't expected Jiang Chen to break through to the Martial Master Realm, Second Level so quickly.

He had just fought a battle, recovered for a bit, and then leveled up. Such luck was truly enviable.

They had heard that it was possible to break through during combat.

Normally, cultivators would find a safe place to attempt a breakthrough to a new realm. Achieving it so effortlessly was truly astonishing.

Jiang Chen was also delighted to feel his cultivation level increase.

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

Feeling the increase in his strength, Jiang Chen knew he would have an even greater chance of success if he encountered anyone from the Yinluo Sect.

"Congratulations on your advancement, fellow Daoist," He Yushi and Li Ji said, coming forward to congratulate Jiang Chen.

At this moment, neither of them knew Jiang Chen's name.

"Thank you," Jiang Chen replied politely.

"By the way, what should I call you, fellow Daoist? You saved our lives, and we will surely repay you handsomely if the opportunity arises," He Yushi said.

"A grand reward is unnecessary. I saw they were from the Yin Corpse Sect, and I acted out of righteousness," Jiang Chen said.

The Yin Corpse Sect indeed had a terrible reputation. They would occasionally hear news of some place being massacred, and it was rumored to be the work of the Yin Corpse Sect.

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

Seeing that these two were not bad people, Jiang Chen's impression of them was quite good.
