First Test of Lightning Flowing Fire Slash!

Su Xian shook his head slightly. Since someone was courting death, he might as well test the power of the Martial Skill he had fused and transformed!

Arriving at an open space, Su Xian stopped and said softly:

"Aren't the brothers behind me coming out yet?"

Before the words could fall, two bone-chilling blade lights, like poisonous snakes flicking their tongues, erupted from the shadows!

The cold moonlight spilled onto the blades, reflecting a murderous intent so chilling it could freeze blood, aiming straight for Su Xian's vital points!

A curve appeared on Su Xian's lips as his right hand flashed out, grabbing for the hilt of his saber at his waist!

"Clang--!"

A saber cry, like a dragon's roar, resounded!

"Lightning Flowing Fire Slash's Wind Thunder Slash!"

The moment the saber left its sheath, the surging Qi and Blood Power within Su Xian erupted, pouring entirely into the blade!

Instantly, wind and thunder clashed and intertwined on the blade's edge!

Blood-red lightning snakes coiled around the chilling blade, emitting crackling bursts as they tore through the surrounding air!

The blood-colored electric light illuminated his masked face, adding a touch of cold ruthlessness!

The wind fueled the thunder's momentum, and the thunder borrowed the wind's might. The two violent forces merged perfectly, pushing the speed of this slash to an extreme that was imperceptible to the eye!

Almost at the same instant the blade light appeared!

The long saber, entwined with eerie blood lightning, moved like a scarlet thunderbolt tearing through the night sky, slashing down fiercely!

"Chop! Chop!" Two crisp sounds!

The two steel sabers that had been cleaving towards him snapped in response, their broken edges scorched black!

The blood lightning saber light's momentum did not diminish in the slightest!

With destructive wind and thunderous might, it ruthlessly slashed towards the contorted, horrified face on the left!

The dazzling blood lightning illuminated the endless fear in the opponent's eyes!

The paralyzing electric energy caused half his body to twitch uncontrollably, his mouth askew!

"Squelch!"

A muffled sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and bone echoed.

The scarlet electric light, like a fleeting glimpse of a startled swan, effortlessly swept across the fragile neck!

A fine head, with a frozen expression of terror, soared into the sky!

Blood gushed from the severed neck, sizzling as it was seared by the residual electric light, and a burnt smell filled the air.

With a single stroke that severed the head, Su Xian's body did not halt. He twisted his wrist, and the saber technique rose again!

"Lightning Flowing Fire Slash's Fire Sun Slash!"

In an instant, the blood-colored lightning coiling around the saber was entirely withdrawn, as if swallowed by the blade itself!

Immediately after, a scorching flame erupted!

The saber instantly transformed into a giant, blazing torch, crimson-gold flames roaring and surging, dispelling the darkness within a radius of several dozen feet, illuminating the area as if it were daytime!

The long saber held high, flames soaring, Su Xian looked like a deity wielding infernal fire!

The man on the right, having witnessed his companion's tragic death, was already terrified out of his wits. His knees buckled, and he was about to fall to his knees and beg for mercy.

However!

"Die!"

The cold word was spat from Su Xian's mouth.

The long saber, wrapped in flames that incinerated all, slashed down like a heavenly punishment!

Where the flames passed, even the air was scorched and distorted!

The plea for mercy was cut short!

A wave of fire swept through, instantly engulfing the pathetic figure!

Easily finishing off these two clueless followers, Su Xian gave his wrist a light shake, and the bloodstains on his saber were flung off by a surge of energy, dissipating into sparks of fire.

He sheathed his saber with fluid movements.

He bent down and quickly rummaged through the still-warm corpses, finding three hundred taels of loose silver and two secret manuals.

Having done all this, his figure flickered, and he merged into the deeper night like a phantom, leaving behind only two scorched and decapitated corpses in the field.

and the lingering scent of scorched blood and thunder in the air!

Not long after Su Xian's figure melted into the night, several furtive figures quietly swept into the silent woods.

Their gazes fell upon the two lifeless bodies on the ground, and one of them let out a hoarse chuckle:

"Heh! Someone else kicked a steel plate and lost their life!"

"Let me see which unlucky fool dared to cross paths with them?"

The other, with a playful smirk on his lips, unhurriedly paced over to the corpses and casually squatted down to examine them.

However, the moment his gaze swept over the faces of the deceased, a sudden change occurred!

The contempt on the man's face instantly froze, his pupils contracting sharply like needle points, as if he had seen the most terrifying sight in the world!

As if scalded by a branding iron, he recoiled violently, his movements panicked and clumsy!

"What's going on? Did you see a ghost? Who is it?!"

The man beside him was startled by his companion's intense reaction, his heart tightening.

Curiosity piqued, he wondered whose corpse it could be that caused such a loss of composure?

"It's... it's the Ghost Shadow Twin Blades! It's them! It's those two!"

The man who jumped back was ashen-faced, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

He uttered each word slowly, as if he had to exert all his strength to force them out.

"What?! The Ghost Shadow Twin Blades?!!"

This exclamation struck like thunder from a clear sky!

The companion, who had been wearing a playful expression moments before, instantly turned as pale as paper, all color draining from his face.

He rushed to the corpses, bent down, and meticulously examined the two deathly gray faces.

"It... it really is them?! How... how is this possible?!"

His brows furrowed tightly into a knot, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror as he muttered, "Could it be... could they have run into a top expert in the Bone Tempering Realm? Or even... stronger?"

"No... something's not right!"

He suppressed the storm raging in his heart and scanned the surroundings with eyes like lightning.

"Given their usual cunning nature, how could these two brothers have acted so recklessly?"

"And looking around here, there are hardly any signs of a struggle..."

"These two were clearly killed in an instant, with overwhelming force, in a single blow! They didn't even have a chance to properly resist!"

"Hiss--!"

The other man finally managed to recover from the immense shock, wiping the cold sweat from his brow. His voice was laced with deep fear.

"Regardless, this proves... that in our Lingyun County territory, we've likely encountered an incredibly formidable dragon crossing the river!"

The Ghost Shadow Twin Blades! A notorious top duo in the Lingyun County underworld!

Both brothers were at the peak of the Tendon Refining Realm!

Even more terrifying was their telepathic connection; with their twin blades combined, they had once achieved an astonishing record of fighting an early-stage Bone Tempering Realm expert to a standstill!

In Lingyun County, they were a force to be reckoned with, striking fear into the hearts of many!

Who would have thought that tonight they would perish here as silently as ants!

"Go! Let's go!"

One man forcefully steadied himself, suppressing his turbulent qi and blood. His voice was low and urgent.

"Don't come to this Black Market for a while! Be extremely cautious in your actions! Absolutely do not provoke this mysterious and dangerous individual!"

"Understood!"

The other man nodded heavily, his eyes still holding a thick, unshakeable terror.

The two dared not linger any longer. Their figures flickered, like startled birds, disappearing into the deep night at their fastest speed.
