Nine Fire Saber Devours Cultivation Method, Evolves

Genius.

An absolute super genius!

A Beginner Martial Artist possessing the strength of an Advanced Martial Artist—there's no one like that in the entirety of Sky City!

What is this guy's identity?

Heir to a great family?

Or a genius student from a prestigious academy?

To be here, hunting ferocious beasts... is he here for a trial?

"It seems I've gotten into big trouble... but there's no turning back now. He saw my face. If I don't kill this guy, I'll have endless trouble later!"

The Advanced Martial Artist knew he had made a grave mistake. His only option was to kill the super genius before him!

As long as this brat dies.

Even if great families or super experts are enraged, they won't be able to find him immediately.

With this thought, the Advanced Martial Artist became even more ruthless, his grip tightening—

"Slash!"

BOOM!

Under the saber strike, Frenzy Blood couldn't block in time. The already damaged armor shattered on the spot, and his shoulder was cleaved open with a massive gash.

"What is that?!"

The Advanced Martial Artist's eyes widened. His previously murderous expression turned to one of pure terror.

No blood splattered.

No flesh and blood flew.

No bones or organs.

Beneath the cracked armor, there was only a shadow-like substance, like mercury!

"You... you're not human!!"

The Advanced Martial Artist screamed in horror.

The sight was so terrifying that he instinctively took two steps back.

Frenzy Blood, unable to speak and feeling no pain, merely tilted his masked head to coldly glance at his wound after suffering such a severe injury. Then, he continued to attack the Advanced Martial Artist with his saber!

"What exactly are you?!"

The Advanced Martial Artist parried while angrily demanding an answer.

But his question was destined to go unanswered... Even if Frenzy Blood wanted to reply, he couldn't open his mouth.

After a few more exchanges, the Advanced Martial Artist's face gradually contorted into a grimace.

"Damn it!"

He spat, "Whatever the hell you are, I'll kill you first!"

For a ruthless individual like him, who lived on the edge daily, the more fear he felt, the more it fueled his murderous ferocity.

Just as the Advanced Martial Artist was about to press his attack—

WHOOSH!

A sound of breaking air echoed. The Advanced Martial Artist turned his head and saw a figure dressed almost identically to the one before him, save for a different mask, wielding a flaming long saber and cleaving directly at him!

"There's more than one monster?!"

"And still a Beginner Martial Artist... but the power of this saber strike has reached the level of an Advanced Martial Artist!"

"Do these monsters all have the ability to fight above their rank?!"

The Advanced Martial Artist countered with a saber strike of his own. The two forces collided, creating a significant explosion.

Nine Fire: "A bit tricky. Let's go together!"

Frenzy Blood: "Okay!"

"Who are you people?!"

The Advanced Martial Artist still wanted to uncover the truth.

But Nine Fire and Frenzy Blood ignored him and attacked.

Facing one opponent, the Advanced Martial Artist could easily suppress him.

With two attacking, he was essentially evenly matched... Even though Frenzy Blood's arm was nearly severed, he could still exert considerable strength.

Not only that.

"Damn it, why isn't their Blood Essence decreasing at all?"

Facing the two of them, the Advanced Martial Artist's Blood Essence consumption surged dramatically. In contrast, the Blood Essence output from the other two remained remarkably stable throughout. This defied logic!

The Advanced Martial Artist quickly consumed a Pill to restore his Blood Essence.

"No, I can't keep fighting them."

"I need to get out of here!"

The Advanced Martial Artist knew his chances of winning were slim, so he immediately struck both opponents back with a single saber strike.

Then, he turned and fled without looking back!

Frenzy Blood: "Trying to run? No way!"

Nine Fire: "He can't escape... they're all here!"

The next second.

The Advanced Martial Artist found another figure, identical to the previous two, attacking him from the direction directly opposite.

"Three?!"

The Advanced Martial Artist was completely panicked now.

His initial confidence shattered.

"Escape!"

"Hurry and escape!"

He didn't dare to delay any longer.

Two were already on par with his combat strength; if another one joined, he would definitely be finished!

But as he turned...

He saw a swift shadow charging towards him from the front.

The fourth person.

The same attire, wielding a long saber.

The only difference was the mask on his face!

"It's over."

The Advanced Martial Artist despaired.

He tried to call for help.

Unfortunately, due to his constant ambushing of human martial artists, he rarely carried a phone or any communication device, to prevent being tracked and avenged... At this moment, he was completely isolated and helpless!

By now, Nine Fire and Frenzy Blood had caught up.

Nine Fire raised his saber and struck.

The Advanced Martial Artist blocked it.

Sanyu joined the fray, delivering another strike. The Advanced Martial Artist's back was wounded, and his armor was damaged.

Blood Consumption followed with a strike, causing the light on his armor to dim further.

Strike after strike fell.

The Advanced Martial Artist could no longer parry.

"You... what exactly are you?!"

"Tell me!! Tell me!!!"

Amidst his roars, the Advanced Martial Artist, filled with despair and unwillingness, was completely overwhelmed.

A moment later.

The four dispersed.

The Advanced Martial Artist lay dead on the spot, beyond any hope of survival.

Blood Consumption: "Boss, do you need to take his Heart Blood?"

Su Zhan: "No need. Human martial artists don't have Heart Blood. Give me his Space Ring."

Blood Consumption: "Alright!"

Su Zhan took out a Space Ring from the Shared Space and scanned it.

Over a thousand Gold Coins.

Quite a few Grade One Pills, with only a small number of Second-grade and Grade 3 Pills.

There were also some Heavenly Treasures that weren't very valuable.

And various odds and ends.

Altogether, the estimated value was less than 3000 Gold Coins.

"Broke."

Su Zhan summarized him in two words.

After all, he was just an Advanced Martial Artist. Even if he ambushed others every day, he could at most bully Beginner Martial Artists and Intermediate Martial Artists... How much money could he have?

Suddenly.

Nine Fires: "Boss, I can sense the aura of a Cultivation Method on him."

Sanyu: "I can sense it too. He's a very fierce and violent fellow."

Blood Consumption: "His grade is higher than ours... Elite Grade, no doubt!"

Frenzy Blood: "Elite Grade, weapon type... but that's all there is to it."

Su Zhan: "Where is the Cultivation Method?"

Nine Fires flicked his long saber, pushing aside the shattered armor to reveal a black shirt he wore close to his body. In the pocket, a Cultivation Method manual was placed.

Nine Fires took it out.

Thunder Fire Saber

As expected, it was the move the Advanced Martial Artist had just used.

"A weapon Cultivation Method transcription... and Elite Grade?!"

"This guy must have spent all his money on this, right?"

Su Zhan quipped.

"Ding! Nine Fire Saber wants to devour one of your Cultivation Method manuals. Do you allow it?"

Nine Fires: "Boss, I feel an immense attraction to this Cultivation Method... I really want to devour it!"

It wants to devour a weapon Cultivation Method manual?

Weapon Cultivation Methods have a tendency to devour things?

But this thing is indeed useless to Su Zhan... His precious fifth seat is reserved for an Earth Grade Technique. Elite Grade can just step aside for now.

"Allow!"

The next second.

The Thunder Fire Saber manual disappeared, and then Nine Fires' body suddenly erupted with surging flames!

"Ding! Your Cultivation Method Nine Fire Saber has successfully devoured the Cultivation Method Thunder Fire Saber and is evolving..."
