Eerie Power, Ten-Tenths Saber Intent!

"As expected!"

"The mysterious broken saber of the Blazing Fire Sect possesses an extremely powerful saber intent!"

Su Yun rejoiced inwardly.

A moment later, Su Yun followed the Sect Master of the Blazing Fire Sect and stepped onto a staircase paved with white jade.

At the end of the stairs, continuous palaces and buildings could be seen.

Each building faintly emitted a crimson firelight, which was quite magical.

Clearly, this was the Blazing Fire Sect.

In front of the sect's palaces, Su Yun saw a huge, strange black stone.

Stuck in this strange black stone was a three-zhang-long black broken saber!

"Sect Master, this is..."

Su Yun's heart stirred, and his gaze fell upon the black broken saber.

"Haha! Young friend Su Yun, why be so formal between us?"

"My name is Chen Tianhua, and I'm not much older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Chen."

The Sect Master of the Blazing Fire Sect stroked his beard and smiled.

The two had exchanged a few words while ascending the stairs.

He was certain in his heart that Su Yun was not pursuing the previous matter and held no dissatisfaction.

It seemed he was truly here as a guest.

This put him at ease and also made him want to befriend Su Yun.

After all, he too coveted such a monstrous prodigy!

"Not much older?"

Looking at Chen Tianhua, whose beard and hair were white, Su Yun couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

"This form of address might not be quite right?"

Returning to his senses, Su Yun said with a smile.

"We cultivators, why would we pay attention to mortal etiquette?"

"It's settled then."

"As long as you don't dislike this old brother!"

Chen Tianhua said with a hearty, amiable smile.

"Alright, junior Su Yun, greets Brother Chen."

Su Yun followed his lead, smiling and nodding.

Their conversation naturally reached the ears of the Blazing Fire Sect disciples nearby.

They listened with envy!

They had never imagined that their usually stern Sect Master could have such a kind and approachable side.

The scene before them completely overturned the image of authority Chen Tianhua held in their hearts.

"That's more like it!"

Chen Tianhua laughed heartily, appearing very easygoing.

"Brother Chen, what exactly is that black broken saber? Why have I heard that no one can approach it?"

Su Yun pointed at the black broken saber and asked curiously.

"This black broken saber is extremely mysterious, its power unfathomable, and its origin is immense!"

"This saber was a rare treasure that our sect's ancestor luckily brought back from some ruins overseas."

"The saber's grade is unknown, its name is Demon Slayer, its material is mysterious, and a powerful saber intent remains within the blade. Once one gets close, it can sever one's soul, making it very dangerous."

Speaking of this, Chen Tianhua's gaze towards the black broken saber also became somewhat wary.

"Brother Chen, this black broken saber is clearly a treasure, has no one come to take it away?"

Su Yun continued to inquire, wanting to glean some information.

"Young friend Su Yun, you don't know, it's not that the powerful individuals don't want to take it, but they simply cannot!"

Chen Tianhua couldn't help but sigh, "In fact, besides the saber intent, there is also a mysterious power remaining within this black broken saber, which is very strange."

"Once one touches this black broken saber, that strange power will immediately invade the body and corrode the soul!"

"Over the years, many powerful individuals have suffered greatly because of this black broken saber."

The Blazing Fire Sect possessed such a treasure.

Which powerful cultivator wouldn't want to claim it for themselves?

Therefore, over the years, it wasn't as if no powerful outsiders had tried to seize this black broken saber.

In reality, however, any powerful individual who had touched this black broken blade had suffered a terrible backlash.

Minor injuries at best, death at worst!

Thus, over time, no one dared to covet the black broken blade anymore.

"Brother Chen, may I go take a look?"

Suddenly, Su Yun asked.

"This..."

Chen Tianhua's face showed difficulty.

He was conflicted, unsure whether to agree.

"If this makes things difficult for you, Brother Chen, then forget it."

Su Yun said with a smile.

"That's not it at all!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianhua quickly waved his hand.

"Young friend Su Yun, this black broken blade, even if you don't touch it, just approaching it will subject you to the blade's intent, which will ravage your soul."

"If anything were to happen to you here..."

Chen Tianhua didn't finish his sentence.

But his unspoken meaning was understood by everyone present.

If Su Yun were to have an accident within the Blazing Fire Sect and be injured by the black broken blade's intent.

He would never be able to bear the responsibility!

If the Mystic Blade Sect were to seek retribution, the Blazing Fire Sect would be in grave danger.

"Brother Chen, how about this?"

"I will slowly approach the black broken blade, without touching it at all."

"Once I reach my limit, I will stop."

Su Yun proposed.

"This... alright!"

"However, young friend Su Yun, you must be extremely careful and don't push yourself."

"And remember, do not touch that black broken blade."

"Even experts beyond the Qi Sea Realm cannot withstand the erosion of that strange power!"

Chen Tianhua cautioned with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry."

Su Yun nodded, saying no more.

Then, he slowly walked towards the black broken blade in the distance.

As he drew closer, Su Yun's expression gradually became solemn.

BOOM!!

When Su Yun was about ten zhang away from the black broken blade.

A terrifying blade intent emanated from the blade, like a black demonic dragon, roaring and charging towards him.

Su Yun's soul trembled slightly from the impact!

It felt as if it were about to be torn apart.

The next moment, a voice sounded in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Slaughter Blade Art senses a strong blade intent impact, becomes excited, inspiration erupts, and enters a state of enlightenment!"

"Slaughter Blade Art comprehends a sliver of the blade's intent, successfully raising the Blade Momentum realm to ninety-four percent!"

"Slaughter Blade Art enlightenment ends. A stronger blade intent impact is required for further progress!"

Almost instantaneously, the blade momentum aura within Su Yun grew stronger.

"A stronger blade intent impact is required?"

Then, with a thought, he immediately took a step forward!

RUMBLE!!

In a daze, Su Yun seemed to see a terrifying black demonic blade slashing fiercely at him!

With just one step forward.

The pressure of the blade intent had instantly doubled!

He knew very well that this slashing black demonic blade was not a physical entity, but something conjured by the blade intent.

At this moment, he unleashed his own blade aura, beginning to contend with this surge of blade intent.

And under the stimulation of the intense blade intent.

The Slaughter Blade Art continuously comprehended its subtleties, giving birth to one flash of inspiration after another.

Concurrently, with the aid of his blade aura, Su Yun took several more steps forward.

The pressure of the blade intent he faced grew even more terrifying.

As time flowed on.

Su Yun's own blade aura realm began to ascend continuously.

Until a certain moment.

BOOM!

Su Yun's entire body trembled, and a powerful, perfect aura instantly overflowed from within him.

And this power actually blocked the oppressive blade intent surging towards him!

At the same instant, a voice sounded in his mind.

"Slaughter Blade Art, under the impact of the terrifying blade intent, inspiration erupted consecutively, successfully elevating the blade aura realm to ten percent completion!"

The next moment, Su Yun slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face, his body relaxing.

And his powerful blade aura immediately attracted Chen Tianhua's attention.

"How is this possible!"

"This is the aura of perfect blade aura!"

"Young friend Su Yun, how exactly did you achieve this?"

At this moment, Chen Tianhua's eyes were wide open, his expression quite shocked.

He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing!
