Breaking the Game with Strength

Ever since Kong Wu learned that there were people in this world who cultivated immortality and sought the Tao, he had yearned for the elegant way cultivators flew on their swords.

However, with the system's help, after personally killing a few cultivators, that longing faded a bit.

The methods of those cultivators seemed somewhat mystical, but in front of his physical body, they appeared so fragile.

As for the ability to fly on a sword, he had never witnessed it before.

And now, he was seeing the scene he had once longed for so much.

"This sword is the greatest fortune I've gained in my cultivation journey."

After Hu Qiying summoned his flying sword, the anger on his face subsided somewhat. He looked at the jade sword floating before him with a gentle gaze.

This was a flying sword of the magic treasure grade.

Its quality was even above spirit artifacts.

In the entire Qingzhou, apart from those Golden Core True Men, there were only a handful of people who possessed magic treasures.

It was just that this magic treasure of his had a significant flaw.

Perhaps there was an error during its refinement, causing this flying sword to be usable only ten times. Each time it was summoned, it could last for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

After ten uses, it would lose its spiritual essence and turn into ordinary jade.

And now, this sword had only two uses left.

This was also why Hu Qiying hadn't taken out this flying sword immediately.

He himself hadn't expected that Kong Wu, whom he thought he could easily toy with and kill, would suddenly become someone who could threaten his own safety.

However, when he summoned this flying sword, Kong Wu's fate was already sealed.

With a thought, Hu Qiying formed a hand seal and directed the jade sword towards Kong Wu.

The flying sword moved at extreme speed, breaking the sound barrier with a sharp whistle, and instantly appeared before Kong Wu.

Hu Qiying's expression was calm, as if he had absolute confidence in victory.

Yet, the development of everything today was destined to shatter his understanding.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out. This seemingly sure-kill strike was actually deflected by Kong Wu with his saber.

Only a white mark was left on the Evil-Slaying Saber.

The jade sword spun in the air and flew towards the sky. Hu Qiying did not control it immediately.

"A magic treasure???"

He stared wide-eyed at the Evil-Slaying Saber in Kong Wu's hand, his face filled with astonishment.

Although he had found the uniquely styled long saber in Kong Wu's hand somewhat strange before, he had never considered it to be a magic treasure.

This was because, whether it was a spirit artifact or a magic treasure, they required True Qi to be driven to unleash their full power.

And Kong Wu had no fluctuation of True Qi on him; how could he be carrying a magic treasure?

But judging from the current situation, the Evil-Slaying Saber, which could withstand the jade sword's strike without any damage to itself, was no different from a magic treasure in terms of its material alone.

Kong Wu did not reply. He merely looked at the slightly glowing rune on the Evil-Slaying Saber.

That was another attribute the Evil-Slaying Saber gained when its Evil-Slaying Value reached ten points.

Toughness!

Unbreakable hardness.

In the sky, the jade sword stopped spinning and flew back to Hu Qiying's side in an arc.

So what if it's a magic treasure? He has no True Qi fluctuations on him, so he can only rely on its inherent strength to fight.

As long as I kill him, this magic treasure long saber will be mine.

Hu Qiying's eyes lit up, and he greedily looked at the Evil-Slaying Saber in Kong Wu's hand.

A magic treasure, how rare it was in Qingzhou.

Even for the flawed flying sword in his hand, Hu Qiying had fought his way through a bloody path among over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators to obtain it.

And now, a complete magic treasure lay before him.

Lost in thought, Hu Qiying licked his lips, changed his hand seal, and directed the flying sword to attack again.

Clang!

Kong Wu blocked it with his saber once more. However, the deflected flying sword drew an arc, and its speed did not decrease; instead, it increased as it flew back again.

Kong Wu, having just swung his saber, didn't have time to draw it back for defense and could only try his best to shift his body sideways.

Swoosh!

A wound appeared on his abdomen, flesh turned outwards. However, only a trickle of blood spurted out before Kong Wu used his muscles to control the surrounding blood vessels, preventing major bleeding.

Hu Qiying continuously formed hand seals, and the flying sword immediately turned back.

"Senior Kong... the situation is not looking good."

Liu Gu hid in the distance, squinting as he watched the unclear battlefield.

He didn't understand the battles between cultivators.

But he could see that as the green light continued to move, Kong Wu's injuries gradually increased.

Kong Wu's hair was disheveled, and he madly swung the Evil-Slaying Saber in his hand, the ground around him covered in terrifying cracks.

Yet, despite this, the small flying sword could always find gaps in his saber light, striking him whenever it had an opening.

This wouldn't do...

Glancing out of the corner of his eye at Hu Qiying, who was constantly changing hand seals in the distance, Kong Wu parried the flying sword while moving closer to him.

After a while, following a collision between the Evil-Slaying Saber and the flying sword, Kong Wu didn't dodge. Instead, he charged directly at the flying sword.

This time, the flying sword pierced straight through his left chest, and blood gushed out. But Kong Wu didn't stop. Instead, he instantly accelerated, swinging the Evil-Slaying Saber horizontally.

Before him, Hu Qiying seemed to have no time to react, standing there blankly, his hand seals still constantly changing.

Behind Kong Wu, the flying sword also circled back in an arc.

"Die!"

Kong Wu roared, his arms bulging suddenly as he charged forward with a whoosh.

However, just as the Evil-Slaying Saber was about to strike, Hu Qiying suddenly looked up.

A strange smile played on his lips.

Swish!

The Evil-Slaying Saber cut through, slicing Hu Qiying's afterimage in two.

At the same time, the jade flying sword lunged from behind Kong Wu towards his left chest.

The location of his heart.

It was over!

Hu Qiying, hidden somewhere, watched this scene and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as the flying sword pierced his heart, Kong Wu would surely die.

The next moment, just as the jade flying sword was about to hit Kong Wu's back, a burst of blood mist erupted from Kong Wu's body, obscuring him.

What's going on?

Hu Qiying froze for a moment, frowning as he watched.

Could it be that the flying sword had pierced his heart, and the splashing blood...

Suddenly, his eyes widened as if something unbelievable had happened.

Through his connection with the flying sword, he could sense its location, allowing him to better control it.

And at this moment, in his senses, the flying sword had suddenly appeared behind him.

Moreover, it was incredibly close.

He quickly turned his head, and what met his eyes was a figure with flying long hair, bulging muscles, and skin covered in crimson.

On the figure's back, the tip of a flying sword was embedded in its flesh, emitting a faint green light.

The next moment, the figure raised a strangely shaped long saber and brought it down fiercely.

"Found you!"
