Background

Leng Xue is a saber wielder of the Leng family whose blade art carries a dangerous demonic nature. A mysterious Leng family senior later tells him that the Ice Heart Mantra is only an introductory method that treats symptoms rather than the source of his condition, and urges him to seek the “Demon Heart.” 849

His use of Demonic Qi becomes increasingly pronounced in battle. Although the Ice Heart Mantra can restore his clarity temporarily, his growing dependence on demonic power repeatedly places him at risk of losing control. 808 809

Appearance

Leng Xue normally fights with a long saber. During advanced demonic transformations, his body visibly takes on demonic traits. 526 955

• Scarlet or blood-red eyes when channeling powerful Demonic Qi. 527 808
• Scales spreading across his body during his second Demonic Transformation. 955
• Dark-red demon wings manifested from his back in his second transformation. 955
• His saber can become a jet-black Demonic Blade saturated with Demonic Qi. 871 955

Personality

Leng Xue is direct, proud, and highly demanding of martial discipline. During his duel with Princess Minmin, he criticizes her incomplete mastery of Azure City Swordplay and argues that excessive versatility without specialization is a weakness. 525 526

He is fiercely loyal to his companions. He intervenes to save the critically wounded Li Wuyai from the Shadow Demon, and later rushes to defeat Elder Li because Li Changfeng is struggling to hold on. 550 673

Despite his ruthless saber style, Leng Xue is self-aware about his demonic nature. He attempts to resist possession, seeks to temper his heart through the Path of Heart Inquiry, and ultimately chooses to accept and control Demonic Qi rather than deny it. 848 849 908

Abilities & Skills

Leng's Blade Art

Leng Xue’s primary martial art is a domineering saber technique built around rapid blade barrages, thunder-infused strikes, and demonic third-stance attacks. 526 527

• Blade Flash — a swift unsheathing strike capable of dispersing Princess Minmin’s whip assault. 526
• Blade Barrage — releases multiple sharp blade lights; he can produce ten or hundreds of strikes in rapid succession. 526 673
• Blade Draw: Hundred Flashes — sends hundreds of blade lights outward like a hurricane, overwhelming slower or bulkier weapons. 531 806
• Blade Combat: Five-Thunder Severance — a thunder-infused defensive counter against the Shadow Demon’s attacks. 551
• Thunderous Blade Strike — releases a large lightning blade aura carrying Blade Intent. 526 673

Blade Intent

Leng Xue develops a domineering Blade Intent that substantially amplifies the destructive force of his saber techniques. His early use is unstable and exhausts him, but he later reaches fully realized Blade Intent. 676 870

• Was fully realized by his battle in the Demon Abyss. 870

Demonic Qi and Transformation

Demonic Qi is both Leng Xue’s greatest source of power and his central danger. It enhances his Tyrant Blade techniques, but can push him into a violent, uncontrolled state. 527 808

• Ice Heart Mantra — suppresses Demonic Qi and restores his mental clarity, but does not eliminate the underlying problem. 809 849
• Semi-demonization — grants major increases in power during combat, though it initially makes him more reckless. 808
• Demonization by Bai Feiyu — Bai Feiyu forcibly infuses Demonic Qi into Leng Xue and briefly turns him against his allies. 890
• Controlled Demonic Qi — after the Path of Heart Inquiry, he can consciously incorporate Demonic Qi without being controlled by it. 908
• Second Demonic Transformation — manifests scales, wings, and enhanced physical strength; he blocks the combined axe strikes of Da Niu and Niu Er with his bare hands. 955

Equipment

• Long saber — Leng Xue’s primary weapon and the focus of Leng's Blade Art. 526
• Demonic Blade — the transformed blackened state of his saber when infused with Demonic Qi. 871 955

Relationships

• Li Changfeng — Close companion whom Leng Xue calls “Brother Li”; saves Li Wuyai alongside him and tries to end his fight with Elder Li quickly to aid Li Changfeng. 550 673
• Princess Minmin — Martial rival; their duel ends in a stalemate after both suffer severe injuries, with mutual recognition of each other’s strength. 525 527
• Li Wuyai — Companion rescued by Leng Xue from the Shadow Demon while near death. 550
• Ouyang Duha — Comrade who fights beside him against the Shadow Demon and Tusked Demon, and later helps restrain him during his demonization. 550 552 895
• Buddha Child — Comrade who repeatedly tries to save Leng Xue from demonic possession using Buddhist techniques and the Buddhist roar “Om.” 890 895
• Zhuge Weiwo — Senior who permits Leng Xue to face his demonic trials rather than intervene, believing he must overcome them himself. 849 890
• Bai Feiyu — Enemy who forcibly infuses Demonic Qi into Leng Xue and commands him as a pawn. 890
