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

Silence!

Dozens of gazes in the forest converged upon that gray-robed figure.

Everyone's eyes were filled with confusion and shock.

The confusion stemmed from the fact that no one had been able to see how that blade strike had unfolded.

The shock came from the reality that someone as formidable as the prodigy Chen Ajiu had actually died by the blade of Li Qiming!

"Ajiu!" The silver-haired old woman was consumed by rage. Seeing the core disciple of the Demon Sect and blade prodigy Chen Ajiu decapitated, her heart bled.

As her gaze swept toward the gray-robed disciple, the old woman's withered heart instantly boiled with killing intent!

If she struck, Li Qiming would surely die.

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

The suppressed, sky-filling sword radiance had been ready to strike at any moment. Under the amplified attacks provided by the old woman's Blood Demon Pill, Jiang Lianyue's sword techniques had instead been tempered into something more solid and piercing, seemingly showing signs of improvement.

"An early-stage Organ Refining cultivator handling me, a late-stage Organ Refining cultivator, with such ease?"

"In this one forest, two monsters have emerged!"

The more the old woman fought, the more alarmed she became. She knew that if this continued, once the effects of the Blood Demon Pill wore off and the inevitable weakness set in, she would find it difficult to escape.

She unleashed a sudden, explosive strike to force Jiang Lianyue back a step, then turned and dashed toward the Ancient Temple on the mountainside.

The Demon Sect prodigy Chen Ajiu was already dead; Chen Ajiu's older brother, the tenth-ranked prodigy of the Demon Sect, Chen Shuang, must not fall here as well.

The silver-badged Demon Catcher's stunning face tightened. Without hesitation, she leaped into the air, stepping across the treetops as she gave chase to the old woman.

However, before leaving, Jiang Lianyue looked back, catching a glimpse of the gray-robed disciple sheathing his blade in the moonlight.

The brilliance of that strike had shattered her previous impressions.

She retracted her earlier thoughts.

Compared to those prodigies at the Demon Suppression Division Headquarters, this youth actually had some merit!

"What's with that look?"

Li Qiming watched Jiang Lianyue's retreating back, feeling that the look she had given him before leaving was a bit strange.

"Did I act too high-profile?"

A chill crept into Li Qiming's heart. Surrounded by eyes filled with surprise, shock, fear, astonishment, and even jealousy, he wondered if he had gone a bit too far this time.

He couldn't help but fall into self-reflection.

He had originally intended to keep a low profile, but the reality of the crisis was pressing in step by step. If he didn't take the initiative to become stronger, he would be forced into a passive position from which it would be difficult to extricate himself.

To protect oneself, one must become stronger!

It was because he realized this that he had been forced to strike repeatedly.

And this time, Li Qiming felt that his choice had been entirely correct.

The improvement in his strength and the bounty of traits he had harvested—if he had practiced step-by-step, it would have taken a hundred years to achieve such power.

He should still be cautious and keep a low profile; he had grown stronger, but compared to true experts, he was still nothing!

But if another opportunity to grow this strong arose, he would not hesitate for a second!

Li Qiming gathered his thoughts, turned to look at the headless corpse, and reached out to tap it.

[Corpse looting triggered: Traits]

[1. Feather Blade Momentum Prototype: Blade momentum experience / Precious]

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

Only two traits had dropped this time.

After all, the opponent's realm was higher than his own, but the items that dropped... they seemed to be excellent!

Li Qiming looked closely.

[1. Feather Blade Momentum Prototype: Blade momentum experience / Precious]

[1. Feather Blade Momentum Prototype: You will instantly gain enlightenment on the Feather Blade Momentum Prototype, increasing the power of your blade techniques. With your current Level 5 Blade Technique comprehension, you will be able to perfect the true Feather Blade Momentum within five years of diligent practice.]

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

It was truly formidable!

If it hadn't been for that final critical moment, where he had achieved enlightenment of the One Blade Style under the pressure of life and death, and furthermore grasped the Thunder Breathing Method, he would have been the one to die.

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

And this was only the prototype; if he perfected the true Feather Blade Momentum, how powerful would he become?

How could Li Qiming not be tempted?

However, he collected his thoughts and continued to read downward.

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

[Centennial Swordsman: A blade talent truly rare in a century, grants you +10 levels of Blade Dao Comprehension.]

Li Qiming couldn't help but be stunned.

An increase of 10 levels in Blade Dao Comprehension?

If he chose "Centennial Swordsman," would his Blade Dao Comprehension rise directly from level 5 to level 15?

"Hiss~"

He couldn't help but gasp.

Chen Ajiu's level 10 Blade Dao Comprehension was already truly rare in a century; wouldn't level 15 Blade Dao Comprehension be truly peerless?

For a moment, Li Qiming hesitated.

Because he felt both of these traits were excellent.

Choosing Feather Blade Momentum Prototype would allow him to rapidly double his strength in a very short time!

Its practicality was the highest.

The current real crisis lay within the Ancient Temple, and the danger had not yet been resolved.

If he had the Feather Blade Momentum Prototype, it would definitely be useful.

But.

The Centennial Swordsman trait had extremely high potential!

With level 15 Blade Dao Comprehension, why would he worry about not being able to create his own blade momentum?

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

However, what he lacked most right now was time...

Conflict!

In the end, Li Qiming shook his head. He decided not to choose for now; the traits could be set aside, and he would make his choice at the critical moment!

Li Qiming glanced at the scene, then suddenly leaped several times, his figure darting through the jungle, and immediately, all the Demon Sect disciples were killed by him one by one!

Whether they were at the Blood Refining or Bone Refining stage, they all fell to the same punch from him.

They weren't even worth him drawing his blade.

After clearing out this group of Demon Sect disciples, Li Qiming looted everyone, including the few Bone Refining realm experts who had died in the battle earlier.

[Looted corpse to obtain trait]

[One Year of Blood Qi Power]

[Three Years of Blood Qi Power]

[Five Years...]

His luck wasn't enough; nothing else good dropped.

However, a lot of Blood Qi power traits had actually dropped!

Li Qiming counted them up, and altogether, there was Twenty Years of Blood Qi Power!

He took a look at his 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 upgraded.]

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

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

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

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

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

Li Qiming looked at his data on the panel, then looked at the forest, where the corpses of the Demon Sect disciples lay, blood flowing across the field, a gruesome sight. A sense of heartfelt gratitude rose in his heart.

Thanks to these Demon Sect disciples, he was able to have such a significant improvement.

The Demon Sect disciples were all truly talented individuals!

To others, these Demon Sect disciples were bloody, violent, bloodthirsty, and insane.

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