Elsewhere.

At this moment, Chen Qingxue had already fought her way into the core area of the valley.

She flicked the blood from her blade, her expression cold and detached.

All around her, the corpses of demonic cultivators littered the ground.

Among them were those at the Body Tempering Realm and the Profound Origin Realm alike.

Although this was only a small stronghold, there were at least three or four hundred demonic cultivators present.

Something is not right!

How have I fought my way this far without encountering a single demonic cultivator at the fourth level of the Profound Origin Realm?

Chen Qingxue scanned her surroundings, her expression filled with suspicion.

Of the demonic cultivators who had died by her blade, the highest cultivation level was only at the third level of the Profound Origin Realm.

Not a single expert from this demonic stronghold had appeared.

Forget it, I will continue deeper.

As long as I destroy this stronghold, they will show themselves sooner or later.

Chen Qingxue gripped her longsword tightly and leaped forward in quick succession.

At a certain moment, she came to a halt in the very center of the valley.

Before her stood a black wooden building.

This black wooden structure exuded an eerie aura and rose nine stories high.

This must be the command post for those Profound Origin demonic cultivators.

She had just prepared to step inside.

BOOM!

The doors of the black wooden building exploded instantly!

In an instant, earth and stone shattered, and wood splinters flew everywhere!

Following this, a tall, burly figure emerged from the black building.

The man wore a black robe, his pupils a deep crimson.

He held a blood-colored spear, and a malevolent Sha Qi overflowed from his brow, his presence astonishing.

With every few steps he took forward, his aura grew increasingly terrifying.

By the time he stood directly before Chen Qingxue, the pressure he radiated was like a raging sea.

It dominated the entire area!

Even Chen Qingxue, at the sixth level of the Profound Origin Realm, felt a powerful weight pressing down on her.

"Eighth level of the Profound Origin Realm!"

Seeing this man, Chen Qingxue's gaze turned grave.

It was different from the intelligence report.

The cultivation of the man before her was not at the sixth level of the Profound Origin Realm, but the eighth!

Furthermore, his aura was extremely strange.

In the depths of her intuition, he brought with him a terrifying sense of impending doom.

This man's strength is truly formidable.

Chen Qingxue's brows furrowed tightly.

SWISH!

Immediately after, figures darted around her.

Nine individuals descended in succession, surrounding her completely.

And the cultivation of every one of them was at the sixth level of the Profound Origin Realm!

Chen Qingxue scanned the group, her expression cold as a sudden realization dawned on her.

So, these people had been hiding all along.

They were just waiting for her to walk right into their trap.

"An inner disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

At this moment, the burly figure holding the blood spear spoke slowly.

His voice was sharp, like the clashing of iron and stone.

Hearing this, Chen Qingxue frowned.

Could it be that these demonic cultivators had received word long ago and were lying in wait for her here?

"Hmm? Wait, you are..."

A moment later, the burly figure holding the blood-red spear fixed his gaze intently upon Chen Qingxue.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration seemed to cross his mind, and his face lit up with joy and excitement.

He hurriedly ordered someone to bring over a black scroll.

The scroll contained many portraits, mostly of the more outstanding inner disciples of the Mystic Blade Sect.

Chen Qingxue's portrait was naturally among them.

"Haha, good! Very good!"

"It was worth waiting here for so many days; I've truly caught a big fish."

The burly figure let out a loud laugh that shook the surroundings.

The Demonic Fiend Palace was no fool; after having a branch palace destroyed, they naturally knew much of their information had been exposed.

Thus, they played along, dispatching several powerful demonic cultivators to garrison various small strongholds.

Especially for this relatively hidden stronghold, they had sent many Profound-Realm demonic cultivators to stand guard.

As long as the Mystic Blade Sect dared to send disciples over, they would strike decisively and slaughter them!

"Chen Qingxue, the Seventh Princess of the Great Cloud Dynasty?"

"I never expected that I, the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend, would one day be able to capture such a prominent figure!"

Having said this, the burly figure's gaze turned quite cold.

"That master of yours went mad a while back and actually destroyed one of my Demonic Fiend Palace's branch palaces all by himself."

"This debt shall be paid with your life!"

"The Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend?"

Chen Qingxue's expression darkened.

She had indeed heard of this moniker.

Over the past year, the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend had committed several major crimes across the Great Cloud Dynasty, capturing many young women to cultivate his demonic arts.

It was said that this man had a cousin known as the Asura Blade Demon, whose cultivation was at the sixth level of the Profound Realm.

Both men possessed a forbidden technique, and once unleashed in tandem, their power was astonishing.

They had once joined forces to forcefully slay a ninth-level Profound Realm imperial martial artist!

Things were becoming increasingly troublesome.

Seeing the situation was dire, Chen Qingxue took a deep breath, then leaped into the air, preparing to flee.

After all, she did not want to perish here.

If one could live, why throw one's life away?

"Want to leave? Stay right there!"

Seeing this, the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend's expression turned to one of shock and rage, and he roared.

"Seize her for me!!"

At his command, the nine sixth-level Profound Realm demonic cultivators surrounding them began to strike.

Swish!

In an instant, the area was filled with the glint of blades and swords.

Blood-red and the color of night intertwined.

The air was thick with the stench of blood.

Chen Qingxue was, after all, an inner disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect with an extraordinary status and formidable strength.

She had cultivated a Profound-grade sword technique; although it had not yet reached perfection, it was enough to handle these demonic cultivators of the same rank.

Gradually, she began to seize openings in the demonic cultivators' defenses, striking out with her sword to draw blinding sprays of blood and severely wounding several of them!

Seeing this, the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend's expression could not help but turn ugly.

"Die!"

The next moment, he let out a cold snort, gripped his large blood-red spear, and stepped forward to kill!

Chen Qingxue's expression changed in alarm.

Even with her exceptional strength, facing the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend, she could only manage to resist with all her might; she was no match for him.

Splat!

Accompanied by the blooming of blood flowers.

Corpse after corpse of the demonic cultivators fell limply to the ground.

Su Yun watched his surroundings with cold eyes, shaking the blood from the tip of his blade.

Before him stood a collapsed red wooden building.

The demonic cultivators within this building had all been slaughtered by him.

Corpses of demonic cultivators lay scattered in every direction.

Among them, there were over a dozen at the Profound Origin Realm alone.

Meanwhile, his Blade Intent realm was growing ever higher.

By now, he had single-handedly wiped out all the demonic cultivators in the inner perimeter.

Thus, he began to head toward the core area.

At a certain moment.

He struck down another Profound Origin Realm demonic cultivator, decapitating him with a single slash.

Just then, a voice echoed in his mind.

"Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade, successfully slaughtered one hundred demonic cultivators, achieving the 'Hundred-Man Slayer' feat. Spirit excited, inspiration erupts, successfully elevating Blade Intent realm to seventy percent!"

Seventy percent!

Su Yun's expression shifted in shock.

Any martial intent, once it crosses the seventy percent threshold, enters the realm of Great Accomplishment, triggering a staggering transformation!

Once it reaches ten percent, it is considered completely perfected!

At this moment, a vast amount of blade technique insights flooded Su Yun's mind.

His mastery of the blade began to rise continuously.

The aura of Blade Intent radiating from his body became increasingly terrifying.

After a while, Su Yun finished his meditation and slowly opened his eyes.

BOOM!

The moment he opened his eyes, the surrounding trees began to crack and groan, unable to withstand the pressure of his Great Accomplishment Blade Intent.

Immediately after, these trees shattered instantly, sending wood chips flying in all directions.

"Is this the power of Great Accomplishment Blade Intent?"

Su Yun looked at the scattered wood debris and the spiderweb-like cracks spreading across the bluestone ground, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Crossing into Great Accomplishment for Blade Intent was a qualitative leap!

It brought his strength to a level that could only be described as horrifying.

Although his cultivation was currently only at the first level of the Profound Origin Realm.

Relying on his Great Accomplishment Blade Intent and the Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade, he should be capable of slaying warriors at the ninth level of the Profound Origin Realm.

This was an intuition that dawned on him after his Blade Intent reached Great Accomplishment.

"Continue the slaughter!"

Calming his mind, Su Yun continued to move forward.

A moment later, a blood-colored wooden building appeared before him.

Su Yun raised his eyes to look.

BOOM!

Almost in an instant, the blood-colored building before him exploded!

Following that, a blood-red figure emerged from the shattered remains of the building.

The person wore a ghost mask, held a broad blood-stained blade, and radiated a monstrous Sha Qi as he walked toward Su Yun.

Is this person at the sixth or seventh level of the Profound Origin Realm?

Su Yun watched the opponent, secretly surprised.

He had not expected to encounter a demonic cultivator of this caliber.

"A mere outer disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect, and you possess such strength?"

At this moment, the Asura Blade Demon looked at the corpses on the ground, then at the outer disciple robes Su Yun wore, his expression icy.

He had been at a critical stage of cultivation, which was why he hadn't joined his clan brother to kill Chen Qingxue.

However, not only was his clan brother there, but an elder from the Demonic Fiend Palace was also watching from the shadows.

It shouldn't be a problem.

"Kid, who exactly are you?"

"I, the Asura Blade Demon, do not kill nameless nobodies!"

He stood upon a blood-red stone, slowly tightening his grip on his blood blade.

He stared at Su Yun with cold indifference, looking down from a position of superiority.

Yet, the only response he received was a terrifying, blood-red blade radiance!

The blade radiance stretched a full ten zhang, resembling a blood-colored dragon roaring toward the heavens.

The moment it appeared, it illuminated the surrounding darkness!

The Asura Blade Demon was startled, wanting to dodge away immediately.

But at this moment, Su Yun unleashed his Great Accomplishment Blade Intent, striking directly at his opponent's spirit.

BOOM!

Under the influence of the Great Accomplishment Blade Intent, the Asura Blade Demon's spirit trembled violently, and cold sweat poured down his entire body.

"This is... Great Accomplishment Blade Intent!?"

His lips quivered, his blood-red eyes widened until they threatened to split, and he simply could not believe it!

Yet at this moment, no matter how hard he struggled, even when he attempted to unleash forbidden techniques, he could not shake off the influence of the Great Accomplishment Blade Intent; his body was completely unable to move.

The next instant, his pupils constricted!

He watched as that blade radiance, like a blood dragon, tore through the deep night sky and pierced directly through his body!

Squelch!

In an instant, blood splattered across the ground.

The Asura Blade Demon, dead!
