The woman in white stared at the massive saber mark on the ground.

That was the final ultimate technique Chen Ajiu had unleashed.

Then, her nimble eyes focused on the headless corpse.

Her pitch-black pupils contracted violently.

"Dead... he's dead?"

The saber-wielding genius she had been painstakingly searching for had actually become a cold, lifeless corpse.

This was completely unexpected, and a trace of helplessness and panic flashed through her icy eyes.

Tracking down this saber prodigy had cost her the last of her efforts; she never imagined he would be dead.

Suddenly, waves of black demonic energy radiated from her body.

Compared to the demonic energy of the Blood Demon Pill used by the Demon Sect disciples, the energy she exuded made theirs look like child's play.

This astonishing demonic energy startled the few martial artists from the escort agency who were meditating and regulating their breathing.

"Who are you?"

Two Bone Refining martial artists immediately stood up, drawing their sabers in defense.

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling incredibly surprised. Although they were meditating to heal their wounds, they had still maintained a high level of vigilance toward their surroundings.

Yet, they had not noticed when this woman in white had appeared before them.

If not for the fact that the demonic energy on her had erupted on its own, they would not have sensed her presence at all.

Furthermore, this woman in white was wearing a strange Bronze Mask; it was too bizarre!

In the dead of night, in the middle of a desolate mountain forest, a woman in white wearing an eerie mask suddenly appearing—no matter how you looked at it, it was chilling!

"How did he die?"

The woman in white asked coldly.

Anyone could hear the boundless rage suppressed within her voice.

"We don't know." The group looked at each other, and finally, one Bone Refining martial artist spoke up.

They were unwilling to betray Li Qiming.

"You're lying!"

Bang!

The Bone Refining martial artist exploded instantly, his entire body blown into smithereens.

This immediately sent a jolt of shock through everyone's hearts!

The way they looked at the woman in white was filled with terror.

Because they couldn't figure out how she had attacked; she had simply been angry for a moment, and then, a dignified Bone Refining martial artist had just died like that!

It was too terrifying!

She was definitely an expert!

"If you don't speak, you all die!"

The woman in white was gradually losing her composure; even with the mask on, one could feel her madness.

"I'll talk, I'll talk!" one Blood Refining martial artist could no longer hold back.

"It was Li Qiming! It has nothing to do with us!"

With him taking the lead, the other few Blood Refining martial artists couldn't help but chime in one after another.

"That's right, this Chen Ajiu was killed by Li Qiming!"

"The two of them clashed with their sabers, and Chen Ajiu was inferior in skill, dying under Li Qiming's fast blade!"

Everyone spoke over each other, adding a word here and a sentence there, allowing the woman in white to piece together the entire scene and process in her mind.

So, the saber prodigy she had been searching for all this way was named Chen Ajiu...

And the person who killed him was named Li Qiming.

"Li Qiming... you've ruined my hope, I will make you wish you were dead!" the woman in white hissed.

"Where is this Li Qiming now?"

"He... he just headed toward the old temple halfway up the mountain... but there are several Organ Refining martial artists in that temple..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish, the woman in white suddenly drew her blade, and an overwhelming flash of saber light flickered, striking down the group of escort agency martial artists one after another.

Puchi! Puchi!

The bodies of all the escort agency martial artists were pierced through by the overwhelming saber light.

"Why? We already told you everything!" one martial artist widened his eyes, filled with grievance.

"Even if you talk, you still have to die!" the woman in white snapped.

The next second, a clattering sound erupted!

The bodies of all the martial artists from the escort agency shattered, their flesh and blood sloughing off to leave nothing but white skeletons standing in the woods.

The blade technique of the woman in white had shredded them into pieces, yet it hadn't damaged a single bone; this swordsmanship was truly divine!

"Absorb!"

She reached out abruptly, and the corpses scattered across the ground instantly withered, losing all their moisture.

A torrential surge of blood energy rushed toward the woman's mask, being completely swallowed by the Bronze Mask on her face.

If any disciples of the Demon Sect were to see this scene, they would surely exclaim that this woman was the true demon!

Inside the ancient temple.

The blade intent of Murong Canghai was indeed formidable, but unfortunately, his body was already aged and his blood energy was failing; hindered by his physical state, he could only unleash fifty percent of his power!

Even so, he still forced Elder Liu Yun of the Demon Sect and Chen Shuang, who was at the Great Perfection of Bone Refining, into a miserable state.

"Hahaha! I have finally grasped the rudiments of blade intent!"

Chen Shuang suddenly burst into laughter. His body was covered in dense, gruesome blade wounds, yet his expression was exceptionally excited.

Because under the suppression of Murong Canghai's blade intent, he had finally comprehended the rudiments of his own blade intent!

Boom!

A thin layer of flame suddenly rose from his blade, and his aura and strength instantly doubled!

He was already tenth on the Prodigy Ranking, with strength comparable to the Organ Refining realm; with this epiphany, he became unstoppable!

Shen Changsheng's Dragon Roar Sword technique faltered, and Elder Liu Yun seized the opportunity to send him flying with a palm strike.

Murong Canghai's blood energy was also failing; having fought until now, he was severely depleted and could barely maintain his blade intent. Affected by Chen Shuang's aura, he spat out a mouthful of blood and could not help but be sent flying backward!

"Congratulations, Holy Son, for comprehending blade intent!"

As an elder of the Demon Sect, Liu Yun's eyes lit up. Although he looked weary, he wore an expression of reflected glory.

After all, having mastered blade intent, Chen Shuang would be a top-tier combatant even after stepping into the Organ Refining realm.

Chen Shuang looked arrogant; today was truly satisfying!

He had found Xia Bingbing, the Ice Saint Body ranked tenth on the Beauty Ranking, and had even comprehended the rudiments of the blade intent he had been unable to break through for so long!

"Hahaha! I shall surely reach the pinnacle of the blade!"

Chen Shuang was in high spirits, his arrogance overbearing.

He had a premonition that he would soon break through to Organ Refining and become the youngest Organ Refining martial artist in a thousand years!

With his blade intent, he would surely shake the martial arts world!

"Holy Son, now is not the time to celebrate. Take advantage of this moment to kill them!"

Elder Liu Yun stroked his thick, cotton-like white beard and said slowly.

Chen Shuang reined in his expression and looked toward Murong Canghai.

"Old senior, you helped my blade intent take form, and I should be grateful to you. Unfortunately, when my Demon Sect strikes, we never leave survivors!"

"I will give you a quick death!" Chen Shuang said earnestly.

"Cough, cough..." Murong Canghai coughed up blood, looking utterly wretched.

"If you want to kill him, you must get past me first."

Shen Changsheng brandished his long sword, blocking the path in front of Murong Canghai. The sword in his hand emitted a faint sound of a dragon's roar, and a weak, flickering sword intent lingered around the blade.

In this grueling battle, had he not also gained an epiphany? It was just a pity that Shen Changsheng's speed of comprehension was a fraction slower than Chen Shuang's, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so passive...

"Sword intent? I didn't expect you to be a genius too, but unfortunately, you are one step behind me."

Chen Shuang looked fearless, feigning a sigh.

After all, the opponent's sword intent was too weak; it didn't even count as a rudiment!

"Heh..." Murong Canghai suddenly grinned.

"Brother Shen, let me handle this."

Shen Changsheng frowned slightly. Without turning back, he asked with concern, "Senior Murong... can you still fight?"

"This old man has one blade left. This blade can slay an Organ Refining expert."
