Blade Slices Spear Demon, Palm Annihilates Stronghold!

The Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend reached out to touch the blood splattered across his face, frozen in place.

He stared at the five corpses of the demonic cultivators on the ground, his expression shifting in shock.

A single blade strike had instantly killed five demonic cultivators at the sixth level of the Mystic Profound Realm!

How could this be possible?

These were demonic cultivators who had practiced powerful demonic arts, and their cultivation bases were far higher than this person's.

How could they have been instantly killed by a junior at the first level of the Mystic Profound Realm with one strike?

Beside him, Chen Qingxue's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, stunned into silence.

An incredibly high level of Blade Intent!

She quickly regained her composure.

With her broad experience, she had sensed an immensely powerful Blade Intent from the strike Su Yun had just unleashed.

She even suspected that Su Yun's Blade Intent had already reached the Great Accomplishment stage!

One had to realize that even for genius disciples with extraordinary comprehension, it was impossible to elevate Blade Intent to the Great Accomplishment stage without several years of effort.

And how long had Su Yun been cultivating?

This was simply inconceivable!

Is Junior Brother Su Yun's comprehension a bit too outrageous?

This thought could not help but surface in Chen Qingxue's mind.

At this moment, she also had a sudden realization, finally understanding why the Asura Blade Demon had died at Su Yun's hands.

With Blade Intent at the Great Accomplishment stage, let alone one Asura Blade Demon, even some martial artists at the ninth level of the Mystic Profound Realm would be slain in a single strike!

At this point, a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of Chen Qingxue, who had originally intended to fight to the death.

Perhaps Su Yun could truly kill the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend!

At this moment, after slaying the five Mystic Profound demonic cultivators, new insights into blade techniques surged into Su Yun's mind.

His Blade Intent realm improved slightly as a result.

Its power became even more terrifying.

"An outer sect disciple who has grasped Blade Intent!?"

"And this person's Blade Intent realm is actually this profound?"

The Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend stared fixedly at Su Yun, his expression turning quite ugly.

His mind was filled with the image of that recent strike.

That strike had left a deep impression on him.

"What? Still not going to avenge your clansman?"

Su Yun looked at him with a faint smile.

The Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend took a deep breath.

Killing intent erupted in his eyes, and Sha Qi surged forth.

So what if his Blade Intent realm was high?

He was at the eighth level of the Mystic Profound Realm, while the opponent only had the cultivation of the first level.

If they fought to the death, he might not necessarily lack a chance to win!

Furthermore, he had not forgotten.

Somewhere in this stronghold, an elder of the Demonic Fiend Palace was stationed.

Even if he ultimately wasn't the opponent, as long as that elder intervened, the person before him would have absolutely no chance of survival!

"Die for me!!"

Collecting his thoughts, the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend roared.

He gripped the blood-colored spear in his hand and charged in a fit of rage!

Seeing this, Su Yun's heart stirred.

This person was indeed powerful.

Not only was his cultivation high, but his technique realm was also not low; his strength was not to be underestimated.

Therefore, he would naturally use his full strength.

"Great Accomplishment Blade Intent!"

He shouted softly.

A terrifying mental pressure descended upon the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend in an instant.

Almost immediately, his face turned deathly pale, sweat poured from his forehead, and his features began to tremble.

His strength was also suppressed to a certain degree.

Yet, at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and, braving the terrifying suppression of the Great Accomplishment Blade Intent, charge toward Su Yun!

His willpower is not bad.

Su Yun chuckled inwardly, then swung his blade forward.

Boom!

The blood spear and the Black Blade collided violently in an instant, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.

The surrounding trees were shattered one after another, pulverized repeatedly by the blade intent and spear intent until they were reduced to fine powder.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged several blows.

Due to his strength being suppressed, the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend felt incredibly stifled, constantly being beaten back by Su Yun.

Furthermore, Su Yun's physique was simply too terrifying.

His entire body radiated a powerful golden glow.

He had only traded a few blows with Su Yun, yet the web between his thumb and forefinger, where he gripped the blood spear, had already split open!

Blood splattered across the ground.

At a certain moment, Su Yun slashed out.

Ten streaks of blood-colored blade light instantly illuminated the darkness.

In his haste, the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend could only use his blood spear to defend with all his might.

As the blade light descended, he coughed up blood while retreating rapidly, his face twitching uncontrollably.

The power of this blade technique was simply too terrifying!

He had nearly lost his grip on the blood spear in his hands.

Crack!

However, to his surprise, a crisp sound rang out.

The blood-colored long spear in his hand had actually begun to shatter!

Cracks gradually covered both ends of the blood spear, as if it were letting out a final wail.

"Slay!"

Before the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend could recover, a cold voice reached his ears.

Then, his eyes widened.

He saw a terrifying streak of blood-colored blade light roaring toward him.

He could not block this strike!

And if he couldn't block it, his fate was easy to imagine.

"Elder, hurry and strike! Kill this brat!"

At this critical juncture, the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend roared toward the sky, shouting in desperation.

However, no one responded to him at all.

Squelch!

In a flash, the blood-colored blade light sliced through his shoulder blade.

Then, the blade light continued through his body, piercing him completely!

Boom!

As the blade light vanished, a deep trench was left in the ground.

The Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend had been split in two, his breath completely gone as he collapsed into a pool of blood.

Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade, killed the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend of the eighth stage of Tongxuan. A flash of inspiration: successfully raised Blade Intent realm to 75%.

The next moment, a voice echoed in his mind.

Insights into blade techniques surged forth continuously.

"Seventy-five percent? Not bad at all."

After the absorption was complete, Su Yun nodded to himself.

He did not lower his guard, however.

After all, he had heard every word the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend shouted right before he died.

Clearly, this Demon Sect stronghold still harbored a hidden powerhouse.

Yet, as he scanned his surroundings, there was nothing.

Aside from the occasional gust of cold wind and the pungent, fishy stench, there was absolutely no movement.

Swish!

Just then, a figure in purple robes suddenly flashed in from the distance.

Su Yun gripped his blade and looked over.

The newcomer did not look like a demonic cultivator, but rather a kind-faced old man with a white beard.

Furthermore, his attire resembled the garments worn by the Mystic Blade Sect.

"No need to worry, that Demon Sect elder has already been dealt with by me."

With that, the purple-robed elder tossed out a short, small corpse.

The man's face was withered, his skin dark, and wisps of black energy leaked from the corners of his mouth, giving him a rather sinister appearance.

At this moment, Jiang Feng and the other two, who had been training in the outer perimeter, arrived on the scene.

Upon seeing the purple-robed elder, their expressions shifted in surprise, and they joined Chen Qingxue in bowing.

"Greetings, Elder Tie!"

This Elder Tie was quite famous within the Mystic Blade Sect, and they all recognized him.

Su Yun, however, had not been in the sect long enough to know this elder.

Even so, he did not neglect his manners and bowed as well.

"Greetings, Elder Tie."

In truth, it made sense that an elder would be secretly protecting them during this mission to wipe out a Demon Sect stronghold.

After all, setting aside Su Yun and the other two, Chen Qingxue's identity alone forced the Mystic Blade Sect to treat her with the utmost importance.

If anything were to happen to Chen Qingxue, the Great Yun Imperial Family would inevitably cause trouble for the Mystic Blade Sect.

"Mm."

The purple-robed elder scanned the group and gave a faint nod.

He then produced three medicinal pills and gifted them to Jiang Feng and his companions.

"The three of you fought four Profound-Realm demonic cultivators in the outer perimeter and managed to win by luck, but you have exhausted your strength and sustained significant injuries."

"Take these pills."

"Once consumed, you will be fully recovered in no more than ten days."

Elder Tie spoke slowly.

"Thank you for the pills, Elder!"

The three were overjoyed and reached out to accept them.

They had indeed been besieged by four Profound-Realm demonic cultivators in the outer perimeter earlier.

It had cost them dearly to finally slay those demonic cultivators.

Jiang Feng, in particular, had taken a heavy blow to the chest from one of the demonic cultivators, leaving it slightly caved in.

His blood and bone were vaguely visible; it was a serious injury.

But with this pill, it would no longer be an issue.

"Elder Tie, have you been protecting us from the shadows the entire time?"

Chen Qingxue suddenly asked.

"Indeed."

Elder Tie nodded slightly.

He then smiled and explained, "Usually, I wouldn't need to accompany you on missions down the mountain."

"But this mission was somewhat perilous, so I naturally had to come and keep an eye on things."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Su Yun, his expression one of great satisfaction.

"I just didn't expect such a genius to emerge among the outer sect disciples."

Recalling the earlier scene, Elder Tie felt a tremor in his heart and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Your Blade Intent, I fear it has already reached Great Accomplishment, has it not?"

To master such a level of Blade Intent while only at the first stage of the Mystic Profound Realm was simply inconceivable.

"What! Great Accomplishment Blade Intent!?"

Hearing this, Jiang Feng and the other two were instantly stunned.

They had never imagined that Su Yun had actually mastered Blade Intent of such a caliber!

Facing Elder Tie's inquiry, Su Yun did not feign modesty, but instead nodded.

He was well aware that such a matter could certainly not be hidden from Elder Tie.

Seeing Su Yun admit it, Elder Tie stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Very good!"

"It seems that at this Disciple Ceremony, our Mystic Blade Sect is set to shine brilliantly!"

Having said that, he added with a smile, "Very well, you all should leave here quickly; I have urgent matters to attend to."

The group cupped their hands in salute, not daring to ask further.

They then departed from the area one after another.

"Senior Sister Chen, what could Elder Tie be planning?"

After the group left the valley, Jiang Feng asked with a curious expression.

"I am not sure."

Chen Qingxue shook her head, unaware of Elder Tie's intentions.

The group continued to chat idly as they pressed forward.

BOOM!!

At that moment, the ground shook violently.

All around them, trees were uprooted, and earth and stone exploded in every direction!

The group hurriedly looked back.

They saw a giant palm of lightning sweep aside the thick, dark clouds and descend from the horizon.

In the blink of an eye, the entire black valley was obliterated by that single strike!
