Upgrade, Blood-Baleful Demon-Slaying Saber

"Pfft!"

Sharp claws pierced flesh, and fresh blood spurted wildly.

Shi Yun widened his eyes and looked down to see that his chest had already been pierced with a bloody hole.

Dripping with fresh blood.

His heart was even tossed straight into Bai Sanniang's mouth in a single bite.

Chewing with a crunching sound.

"A martial warrior's heart is simply much chewier than an ordinary person's, and it even has more inner breath."

Bai Sanniang licked her lips.

Then, she slowly walked toward Lu Yuan and the heavily wounded, not-yet-dead Bao Family brothers.

Lu Yuan gripped the rusted saber in his hand.

At this moment, his heart was also somewhat apprehensive, as the thing he found most annoying was that he was still short of forty points of experience.

Otherwise, he would upgrade the Perfection Realm Basic Demon-Slaying Saber Technique once again.

Then there would be nothing left to fear.

This little fellow...

Lu Yuan's gaze suddenly drifted toward the little hedgehog demon.

The aura radiated by that little fellow seemed to be quite comparable to the gray-skinned rat demon he had encountered before.

If he could slay it, then...

Only, this large hedgehog demon was blocking the way.

There was simply no opportunity.

Just at the critical juncture when Bai Sanniang was closing in,

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, wood chips flew everywhere.

The thick wooden cage of the prisoner wagon.

Was actually shattered by a formidable wave of inner qi.

A cold figure intercepted Bai Sanniang.

You wench... are you this ferocious?

Lu Yuan widened his eyes.

If this woman broke out of prison, ordinary people really wouldn't be able to stop her.

It was fortunate that Shen Qingzhu had been completely well-behaved all along the way.

This actually made Lu Yuan somewhat puzzled.

"Shut your stinking mouth."

Shen Qingzhu glanced at Lu Yuan.

This fellow was truly infuriating.

At this moment, although Shen Qingzhu's cheeks were still somewhat red and swollen.

Yet, her entire body's qi and blood were surging.

The aura she emitted.

Made Lu Yuan faintly sense that she was at least at the realm of a First-Order Mid-Rank Martial Warrior.

"Clang!"

Shen Qingzhu shook her wrist.

The silvery-white soft sword wrapped around her waist.

Trembled like a spiritual snake.

Emitting a crisp sword hum.

"Wretched beast, go die."

Without even needing Lu Yuan to offer help,

Shen Qingzhu directly let out a crisp cry.

Transforming into a blur.

The soft sword was like a sky full of silver light.

Enveloping Bai Sanniang within it.

"Humans always like to make useless struggles before death."

Bai Sanniang revealed a trace of a sneer.

The spikes all over her body stood on end as she charged straight forward.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The soft sword slashed against the spikes, sending sparks flying in all directions.

Shen Qingzhu's swordsmanship was light, nimble, and tricky; since she could not pierce Bai Sanniang's spike defense,

she instead specifically targeted Bai Sanniang's joints and eyes.

Yet, Bai Sanniang was after all a First-Order Peak demon with thick hide and tough flesh, and after stubbornly withstanding a few sword strikes, she abruptly executed a savage iron mountain shoulder crash.

"Bang!"

Shen Qingzhu failed to dodge in time and was struck on the shoulder by Bai Sanniang.

That impact force was exceedingly powerful.

In an instant, Shen Qingzhu's entire body was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, heavily crashing down right beside Lu Yuan's feet and coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Are you alright? What are you trying to act tough for when you can't handle it!"

Lu Yuan hurriedly helped her up.

Shen Qingzhu could not help but roll her eyes at Lu Yuan. "If you're so capable, why don't you go up there!"

As she finished speaking, a trickle of fresh blood still overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

This fellow truly knew how to piss a person off to death.

Clearly lacking even a shred of martial prowess,

yet he was still running his mouth here.

Watching Bai Sanniang press in step by step, Lu Yuan clenched his teeth.

Just as he prepared to draw upon his remaining experience points to forcefully upgrade Wild Bull Force and stake his life on it, Bai Sanniang abruptly halted her steps.

"Squeak, squeak!!"

Bai Sanniang had not experienced a sudden surge of conscience to let them go.

Instead, the little hedgehog demon beside her suddenly started crying out, pulling at Bai Sanniang's leg with its tiny paws.

"Fine, then I'll leave it to you."

In Bai Sanniang's eyes, Shen Qingzhu and the others were already injured, while Lu Yuan did not even possess a trace of true qi fluctuations on his body and could not be considered a martial warrior at all—he posed no threat whatsoever.

It was just right to use these half-dead preys to let her cub practice its skills and see some blood.

Bai Sanniang affectionately stroked the little hedgehog's head, retreated two steps, and yielded the position.

"This little demon thing treats us like playthings."

Shen Qingzhu's lovely eyes were filled with anger.

Yet, the little hedgehog demon excitedly walked toward Lu Yuan and Shen Qingzhu.

Although it could not yet speak human words,

that pair of mung-bean eyes was completely filled with bloodthirsty excitement.

Its little mouth opened, revealing a full set of sharp teeth.

It, too, regarded Lu Yuan and the others as preys that it could slaughter at will.

Truly, iron shoes are worn out in vain searching for a place like this, only to find it effortlessly without any trouble!

Lu Yuan suppressed the wild joy surging in his heart.

He had been fretting over having no opportunity to get close to this little demon thing.

Who would have known that it would actually deliver itself right to his doorstep.

We're finished; it would be better to just be swallowed in one gulp by the large demon thing.

This little demon thing will definitely torture us until life is worse than death.

Shen Qingzhu's face turned ashen, plunging into absolute despair.

In her eyes, Lu Yuan was merely an unranked good-for-nothing who couldn't even be counted as a martial warrior.

He wouldn't even be able to handle this little hedgehog demon.

They were going to have their flesh gnawed away piece by piece by the little demon thing.

Just as the little hedgehog demon closed in to less than three feet,

opened its mouth filled with densely packed fine, sharp teeth, and prepared to bite toward Lu Yuan in that very instant,

"Clang!"

The rusted saber cleared its scabbard, its blade light like snow!

Without the slightest fancy movement, Lu Yuan flipped his wrist, and the saber edge precisely sliced across the little hedgehog demon's neck.

"Pfft!"

A tiny head tumbled and rolled away onto the ground.

[Ding! Detected that the host has slain a First-Order Low-Grade demon beast, hedgehog demon cub.]

[Gained experience points: 100 points.]

[Current experience points: 1060 points.]

"Finally saved up 1000 experience points."

Lu Yuan let out a long breath.

A sharp glint flashed through his eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly poured the 1000 experience points into the Perfection Realm Basic Demon-Slaying Saber Technique.

[Ding! Consumed 1000 experience points.]

[Basic Demon-Slaying Saber Technique (Perfection) upgraded to Blood-Baleful Demon-Slaying Saber]

[Prompt: Blood-Baleful Demon-Slaying Saber saber technique is more fierce and tyrannical, and every time the saber is swung, it can absorb the essence blood of demon beasts, transforming it into blood-baleful qi to assault the mental fortitude of demon beasts!]

[Host: Lu Yuan]

[Realm: Mortal Realm (Unranked)]

[Lifespan: 25 days]

[Cultivation Techniques: Blood-Baleful Demon-Slaying Saber ???, Wild Bull Force (Great Accomplishment 20/300), Carefree Steps (Uninitiated 0/50)]

[Current experience points: 60 points.]

"Hum!!"

Following the completion of the upgrade to the Blood-Baleful Demon-Slaying Saber,

the rusted saber in Lu Yuan's hand emitted a trembling hum.

The rusted saber that had just slain the little hedgehog demon.

Seemed to have also absorbed a wisp of essence blood within its body.

"Ah!!!"

Seeing her cub decapitated with a single saber strike, Bai Sanniang emitted a miserable shriek of the utmost extremity, plunging into complete madness.

"I want you to die!"

Bai Sanniang's eyes turned crimson.

The muscles all over her body bulged.

The spikes on her back stood upright one by one.

Resembling a heavy battle chariot.

Carrying a violent, fishy gale, she charged straight toward Lu Yuan.

"Come at the right time!"

Lu Yuan happened to want to test the might of the Blood-Baleful Demon-Slaying Saber technique.

He abruptly gripped the rusted saber tightly with both hands.

The qi and blood within his body, following the circulation route of the Blood-Baleful Demon-Slaying Saber,

began to circulate crazily.

"Slash!!!"

With a single saber strike, the blade actually shimmered with a layer of eerie blood-red light.

"Pfft!"

The saber edge collided with Bai Sanniang's spikes.

Originally, those indestructible spikes, in front of the blood-baleful saber qi, actually snapped off one by one like brittle bamboo shoots.

However, Lu Yuan at this moment was also exceedingly uncomfortable.
