The Demon Sect disciples are all talents! A bountiful harvest! Li Qiming's white moonlight

Silence!

Every gaze in the forest converged on the gray-robed figure.

Every pair of eyes was filled with confusion and shock.

They were confused because no one could see how that slash had happened.

What shocked them was that even Chen Ajiu, a prodigy among prodigies, had died beneath Li Qiming's blade!

"Ah Jiu!" The silver-haired old woman was overcome with fury. Seeing Chen Ajiu—the Demon Sect's core disciple and a blade dao prodigy—lying there with his head severed, her heart bled.

Her gaze swept toward the gray-robed disciple. In an instant, murderous intent surged through her withered heart!

If she struck, Li Qiming would be doomed.

But Jiang Lianyue was no mere ornament, and the sword in her hand could not be ignored.

The countless sword beams that had been suppressed were still poised to strike. Under the boost to the old woman's attacks from the Blood Demon Pill, Jiang Lianyue's sword techniques had instead been tempered into something even more solid and biting. She seemed to have improved.

"An early Organ Refining cultivator is fighting me, a late Organ Refining cultivator, and she's handling it with such ease?"

"Two monsters came out of one forest!"

The longer the old woman fought, the more alarmed she became. She knew that if this continued, once the Blood Demon Pill wore off and weakness set in, she would have no easy way to escape.

She suddenly unleashed a strike, forcing Jiang Lianyue back a step, then turned and darted toward the Ancient Temple halfway up the mountain.

The Demon Sect's prodigy Chen Ajiu was already dead. His elder brother, Chen Shuang—the Demon Sect prodigy ranked tenth on the Prodigy Ranking—absolutely could not fall here as well.

The Silver Badge Demon Catcher's beautiful face turned stern. Without hesitation, she leapt into the air, stepping across the treetops as she pursued the old woman.

Before leaving, however, Jiang Lianyue glanced back in the moonlight at the gray-robed disciple in the forest, who was sheathing his blade.

The dazzling slash from moments ago had shattered her previous impression of him.

She took back what she had thought.

Compared with those few prodigies at the Demon Suppression Division Headquarters, this fellow did have some merits after all!

"What was that look?"

Watching Jiang Lianyue's back, Li Qiming couldn't help feeling that the look she'd given him before leaving had been a little strange.

"Did I show off too much?"

A chill rose in Li Qiming's heart. Surrounded by pairs of eyes filled with surprise, shock, fear, astonishment, and even jealousy, he wondered if he'd gone a little too far this time.

He couldn't help reflecting on it.

He'd originally wanted only to lie low, but dangers had kept pressing in. If he didn't take the initiative to grow stronger, he'd be forced into one passive situation after another, unable to break free.

If he wanted to stay out of trouble, he had no choice but to become stronger!

It was because he'd realized this that he'd been forced to act again and again.

And this time, Li Qiming felt he hadn't made a single wrong choice.

The improvement in his strength and the plentiful entries he'd gained—if he'd trained step by step, it would have taken a century to reach this level.

He still had to keep a low profile. He might be stronger now, but compared to true experts, he was nothing!

Still, if he got another chance to grow stronger like this, he couldn't hesitate for even a moment!

Li Qiming sorted out his thoughts, turned toward the headless corpse, and reached out to pat it.

[Corpse Looting Entry Trigger]

[1. Feather Blade Momentum Prototype: Blade Momentum Experience / Precious]

[2. Centennial Swordsman: Blade Dao Talent / Epic]

This time, only two entries had appeared.

After all, his opponent's cultivation realm had been higher than his. But what he'd gotten... seemed to be good stuff!

Li Qiming looked closely.

[1. Feather Blade Momentum Prototype: Blade Momentum Experience / Precious]

[1. Feather Blade Momentum Prototype: You will instantly comprehend the Feather Blade Momentum Prototype, increasing the power of your blade techniques. With diligent practice, given your current level 5 blade technique comprehension, you can perfect the true Feather Blade Momentum within five years.]

Li Qiming's eyes narrowed. He'd just experienced the Feather Blade Momentum firsthand.

It was indeed powerful!

If he hadn't finally comprehended One Blade Style under the pressure of life and death at the last critical moment, and gained insight into the Thunder Breathing Method, he would certainly have been the one to die.

If he could master the Feather Blade Momentum, even just its prototype, his strength would at least double!

And that was only the prototype. How powerful would he be if he perfected the true Feather Blade Momentum?

How could Li Qiming not be tempted?

However, he gathered his thoughts and continued reading.

[2. Centennial Swordsman: Blade Dao Talent / Epic]

[Centennial Swordsman: A blade technique talent truly rare even once in a century. It can increase your blade dao comprehension by 10 levels.]

Li Qiming couldn't help but freeze.

Increase his blade dao comprehension by 10 levels?

If he chose Centennial Swordsman, his blade dao comprehension would rise directly from level 5 to level 15?

"Hiss..."

He couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.

Chen Ajiu's level 10 blade dao comprehension was already truly rare even once in a century. Wouldn't level 15 blade dao comprehension leave everyone else in the dust?

For a moment, Li Qiming hesitated.

He thought both entries were excellent.

Choosing the Feather Blade Momentum Prototype would let him double his strength in a short time!

It was the most practical choice.

The immediate danger lay in the Ancient Temple, and it hadn't been resolved yet.

With the Feather Blade Momentum Prototype at his side, it would definitely be useful.

But—

The Centennial Swordsman entry had tremendous potential!

With level 15 blade dao comprehension, how could he fail to create a blade momentum of his own?

It was only a matter of time, and he had a feeling that with such comprehension, it wouldn't take too long! A few months at most, and he should be able to forge and comprehend his own blade momentum!

But time was exactly what he lacked most right now...

What a dilemma!

In the end, Li Qiming shook his head. He decided not to choose for now. He could leave the entries unclaimed and make his choice when the crucial moment came!

Li Qiming glanced over the scene, then leapt several times in quick succession, darting through the forest. One by one, he killed every Demon Sect disciple!

Whether they were at the Blood Refining or Bone Refining stage, he used the same punch on all of them.

They didn't even deserve to make him draw his blade.

After clearing out the Demon Sect disciples, Li Qiming also searched the corpses of the few Bone Refining cultivators who had died earlier.

[Obtained an entry from looting a corpse]

[One Year of Blood Qi Power]

[Three Years of Blood Qi Power]

[Five Years...]

His luck had run out; nothing else worthwhile appeared.

Still, he'd obtained quite a few Blood Qi power entries!

Li Qiming counted them up. Together, they amounted to Twenty Years of Blood Qi Power!

He looked at his status panel:

[Li Qiming]

[Realm: Blood Refining, Great Perfection]

[Comprehension: Blade Dao, level 5.]

[Talents: "Blade Like Wind," "Innate Blade Sense," "Strength of an Elephant."]

[Tiger Roar Fist (Perfected): Cannot be improved.]

[Swallow Skimming Grass (Great Accomplishment): 25/100]

[One Blade Style (Entry Level): 10/100]

[Nine Style Blade Art (Proficient): 20/100]

[Unselected Entries: "Feather Blade Momentum Prototype," "Centennial Swordsman," "Twenty Years of Blood Qi Power."]

"Chen Ajiu, the Big and Small Iron Towers, and all you Demon Sect disciples, Qiming is deeply grateful!"

Li Qiming looked at his stats on the panel, then at the corpses of Demon Sect disciples strewn across the forest, blood flowing like a river and the scene too ghastly to look at. A heartfelt gratitude rose within him.

Thanks to these Demon Sect disciples, he'd been able to improve so dramatically.

The Demon Sect disciples were all such talents!

To everyone else, these Demon Sect disciples were bloodthirsty, violent, and frenzied.

But in Li Qiming's eyes, they were all his moonlight.
