Su Yun glanced at the two men, then reached out to pat the fast horse beside him.
The horse, possessing a keen sense of spirit, immediately trotted back several hundred meters.
At this moment, Su Yun sensed the cultivation levels of the two men.
Both were at the ninth level of the Mystic Profound Realm, not the Qi Sea Realm.
He had originally assumed they might be disciples from the Blade Origin Sect coming to cause him trouble.
However, the attire of the two men before him did not seem to belong to the Blade Origin Sect.
Instead, they looked somewhat like warriors from the Demon Sect.
"You are the Mystic Blade Sect disciple, Su Yun?"
One of them stepped in front of Su Yun and spoke slowly, his voice grating and harsh.
"We heard that you comprehended Great Accomplishment Blade Intent while only at the third level of the Mystic Profound Realm. Your talent is truly extraordinary; you can be called a monster."
The other added.
The two did not attack immediately, choosing instead to offer praise.
Hearing this, Su Yun frowned.
It seemed these two had been waiting here for his arrival and had long since investigated his background.
However, they appeared unaware of what had transpired within Heavenly Blade Canyon.
"Why are you blocking my path?"
Su Yun gripped the Ice Ink Blade and asked.
Under the glow of the setting sun, the Ice Ink Blade in his hand shimmered with a cold light, emitting a frigid aura.
The two men before him were clearly prepared, carrying a faint scent of blood on their bodies.
There was also a lingering trace of Sha Qi.
They looked very much like demonic cultivators from the Demonic Fiend Palace.
"If you want to know, come with us."
"Elder Lin has been waiting for you for a long time; you will understand once you go."
One of them invited with a smile.
"Elder Lin?"
"And if I refuse to go, what can he do?"
Su Yun's expression was indifferent as he scanned his surroundings.
In his perception, there were no hidden experts nearby.
Of course, it was also possible that this Elder Lin possessed profound cultivation and was adept at concealing his aura.
It would be normal for him to be unable to detect such a person.
"You have been cultivating for less than half a year. You are very young and have a bright future; why are you so determined to seek death?"
One of them reached up and removed his black mask, revealing a dark, ashen face.
Then, he curled his lips into a cold sneer: "We came with sincerity and have not yet attacked you. Do you really intend to resist?"
Between his brows was a strange, palace-shaped black mark.
This mark reminded Su Yun of the Blood-Drinking Spear Fiend from before.
Clearly, this person was a demonic cultivator from the Demonic Fiend Palace.
As his voice fell, the atmosphere at the scene became quite murderous.
The nearby horse, startled, hurriedly retreated further.
In the space where they stood, only the sound of the cold wind rustling the leaves remained.
"Slash!"
Suddenly, Su Yun tightened his grip on the Ice Ink Blade and whispered.
The next moment, the wind stopped.
BOOM!!
A terrifying blood-colored blade light, carrying the might of a powerful blade intent, whistled through the air in an instant!
The oppressive force of the blade intent swept across the entire forest!
Splat!
In less than a second, before the two could even react, their heads had already fallen to the ground.
Before death, their eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief, as they perished in resentment.
It seems I cannot continue down this road.
Su Yun glanced at the two bodies casually and thought to himself.
These two demonic cultivators from the Demonic Fiend Palace were likely sent by the Elder Lin they had mentioned.
This meant that the man himself was probably nearby.
Perhaps he had set some kind of ambush further along this path.
Therefore, Su Yun would naturally not walk straight into a trap.
As for dealing with demonic cultivators, he wouldn't waste his breath; he would simply strike with full force and kill them in one blade stroke.
"Damned brat, how dare you be so insolent!"
Sure enough, the next moment, an angry roar erupted from not far away.
Immediately following, a powerful aura surged toward him in an instant.
The fast horse that had been preparing to run over was so terrified that it trembled, its legs went weak, and it collapsed directly to the ground, whimpering.
At this moment, a black whirlwind appeared before Su Yun.
As the black whirlwind dissipated, a hunched old man draped in black robes stared at Su Yun with fierce eyes.
His entire body radiated a terrifying sha qi and demonic energy that rippled in all directions.
Any surrounding trees that came into contact with this aura were corroded, turning into pools of sludge.
The sight was truly bizarre!
"Are you Elder Lin?"
Su Yun stared at him, his mind stirring.
This man's cultivation base appeared to have already surpassed the Mystic Profound Realm; it was highly likely he was in the Qi Sea Realm!
What exactly did these people want by blocking his path?
Could it be because he had wiped out the small stronghold of the Demonic Fiend Palace back then?
Were these demonic cultivators here to seek revenge?
However, recalling the words of the two demonic cultivators from before, a guess formed in Su Yun's mind.
Perhaps these demonic cultivators wanted to capture him and then use something to control him, forcing him to join the Demonic Fiend Palace.
That was why this Elder Lin had not attacked him immediately.
"Brat! This Seat came with good intentions, intending to invite you for a chat, yet you dare to kill my men?"
The Demon Sect elder spoke with resentment, his expression sinister.
The blood-red sha qi that had shrouded his entire body gradually dissipated, revealing his true appearance.
His skin was shriveled, his eyes deeply sunken, and his complexion deathly pale.
He looked terminally ill, with not much life left.
Su Yun observed him for a moment without answering.
Seeing this, the Demon Sect elder's expression darkened instantly.
He said in a cold tone, "This Seat is asking you a question; how dare you, a mere brat, refuse to answer?"
At the same time, a monstrous killing intent overflowed from his eyes.
One of the two demonic cultivators who had just died possessed a special status; he was the offspring of an elder in the Demonic Fiend Palace and had extraordinary talent.
Once that elder found out about this, he would face some trouble.
What surprised him slightly was that the speed of Su Yun's strike just now had been simply too fast.
He hadn't even had time to react before those two had already been slain!
"When you demonic cultivators kill, do you also ask for the reason like this?"
Su Yun smiled and couldn't help but retort.
"Damned brat, sharp-tongued!"
The Demon Sect elder's face was gloomy.
When they, as demonic cultivators, killed, they certainly didn't ask for reasons.
They simply struck.
"Brat, do you truly think that by comprehending Great Accomplishment Blade Intent, you can rival the Qi Sea Realm while in the Mystic Profound Realm?"
He said coldly, "Even if you truly have the strength to suppress the first level of the Qi Sea Realm, my cultivation is at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm!"
"If I truly wish to strike, I can suppress you with the flip of a palm!"
After speaking, he produced a strange black and red fruit and continued.
"If you consume this Demonic Heart Blood Seed, I can let bygones be bygones, and I can even recommend you to enter the core of the Demonic Fiend Palace to enjoy the best treatment."
"If you refuse, then die!"
Hearing this, Su Yun understood.
Clearly, these demonic cultivators from the Demonic Fiend Palace had set their sights on his talent and potential.
They intended to use this Demonic Heart Blood Seed to completely control him.
However, what Su Yun found somewhat strange was that these demonic cultivators seemed unaware of what had transpired within Heavenly Blade Canyon.
Otherwise, relying on his ninety-two percent blade intent, combined with his mastery-level Slaughter Blade Art, he could slay the man before him with a single strike, provided the man had not yet grasped a martial path intent of his own!
"Speak your choice."
At this moment, the Demon Sect elder had run out of patience.
If not for the fact that the higher-ups of the Demonic Fiend Palace insisted he use the Demonic Heart Blood Seed to control Su Yun, he would have already struck to suppress and kill this boy!
"Boring tricks."
Yet, looking at the Demonic Heart Blood Seed, Su Yun slowly shook his head.
"You seek death!"
The Demon Sect elder's expression turned furious, his aura erupting violently.
Su Yun gripped the Ice Ink Blade and took a step forward.
BOOM!
A terrifying blade intent aura instantly suppressed all directions, pouring out frantically.
The pressure covered a radius of nearly a thousand meters!
RUMBLE!
The surrounding forest could not withstand the pressure of the blade intent; trees shattered one after another, collapsing to the ground.
The earth was covered in terrifying blade marks, dense and shocking to behold.
"How is this possible! This kind of blade intent..."
The Demon Sect elder's expression changed drastically!
The very bones in his body were trembling.
He even felt as if his body had sunk into a quagmire, unable to move a single inch.
If Su Yun's blade intent had only been at seventy or eighty percent, it would have been impossible for it to affect him this deeply.
This level of pressure was at least ninety percent blade intent!
"Mastering ninety percent blade intent at the Mystic Profound Realm..."
The Demon Sect elder almost thought he had fallen into an illusion.
Even an inner sect elder of the Demonic Fiend Palace could not possess such martial attainment!
Subconsciously, he exerted his full strength and retreated a step.
If Su Yun's blade intent had only been at eighty percent, he would have had the confidence to suppress him.
But against ninety percent blade intent, he was likely no match!
Not far away, Su Yun watched the Demon Sect elder, his right hand tightening around the hilt.
Then, he swung his blade, unleashing the Slaughter Blade Art!
In an instant, a blood-colored blade light, roaring like a dragon and carrying world-shaking pressure, struck toward the Demon Sect elder.
"This power... Oh no!!"
The Demon Sect elder's face turned pale with shock.
With no time to think, he immediately unleashed his ultimate defensive technique.
"Black Demon Purple Shield!"
The next moment, a purple barrier appeared around the Demon Sect elder, shielding his entire body.
RUMBLE!
As the blade light descended, the entire purple light barrier began to tremble violently!
"I blocked it!"
The Demon Sect elder couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
However, his expression changed drastically a moment later!
CRACK!
Where the blade radiance met the light barrier, it began to shatter, with cracks spreading everywhere.
In an instant, the purple light barrier shattered completely!
Following closely, the blade's momentum remained undiminished.
It slashed through the air!
"Damn brat!"
The Demon Sect elder roared repeatedly, unleashing various techniques in a desperate attempt to defend himself.
Alas, it was all in vain.
In a heartbeat, the blood-colored blade light pierced through his body.
BOOM!!
As the blade descended, the ground began to tremble violently, trees swayed, and dust billowed into the air.
When the dust finally settled.
Only a pool of blood remained on the ground.
Not far away, the Demon Sect elder's corpse had been severed in two.
He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
