BXBX NOVEL Chapter 38 - Your Blade is Too Slow!
Before the blade mark, the ground was already soaked in scarlet.
Blood gathered, forming small streams that soaked Qi Yun’s shoes.
His complexion was pale, and his body trembled.
One slash!
Just one slash!
All of his comrades were dead!
No, it wasn’t just one slash!
It was in an instant that nearly a hundred slashes were delivered!
Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be complete corpses left!
At this moment, he finally understood why this person dared to say he didn’t need the blade momentum!
It turned out he possessed such a terrifying blade technique!
It was undoubtedly an extremely rare high-tier Profound Rank technique!!!
Yet he was practicing nothing but a low-tier one.
“Nine.”
The voice sounded again.
Like a nightmare, it jolted Qi Yun awake.
His scalp tingled, and cold sweat trickled down his back.
Luo Mu held his blade and took a step forward.
Each step made Qi Yun’s heart tremble.
“Eight.”
Ahhhh!
Qi Yun could no longer withstand the oppressive feeling. He drew his blade and charged at Luo Mu.
“Double Moon Blade Technique: Moonshadow Frost!”
As the team leader and the only True Aperture Realm ninth level, Qi Yun’s strength was naturally unquestionable.
The blade in his hand was clearly stronger!
It posed a greater threat!
“Not bad.”
Luo Mu’s eyes glinted slightly.
But it was only “not bad.”
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In just half a breath’s time, the two blades clashed dozens of times.
“How is this possible?!”
Qi Yun’s heart trembled.
The Double Moon Blade Technique was not only fast but also bizarre; many angles of attack were exceptionally tricky.
Yet under his full exertion,
it was all blocked!
“Too slow.”
A cold voice echoed as Qi Yun instinctively made eye contact with Luo Mu.
That indifferent gaze filled Qi Yun with both fear and anger.
All along, he had looked down on others; he had never been so belittled!
However, just as he prepared to attack again,
Luo Mu struck!
The blade light surged, so fast that everyone present could hardly see it!
Qi Yun held his double blades to defend.
But he simply couldn’t keep up!
He could only keep retreating, his body riddled with countless wounds.
Blood flowed incessantly.
Swish!
In the fourth breath, Luo Mu’s blade swept across Qi Yun’s neck.
Qi Yun halted his movement.
The long blade slipped from his hand.
He raised his hand, touching his neck in fear and disbelief, where it felt warm.
“Your blade is so slow, yet you dare to act so domineering?”
“You’re wasting time.”
Luo Mu sheathed his blade and brushed past Qi Yun.
He had thought that this True Aperture Realm ninth-level blade technique would be somewhat interesting, but after the encounter, it was just so-so.
It had average value.
“The sect… will definitely… avenge me!”
Qi Yun managed to say with difficulty.
His voice was filled with resentment.
He wanted to turn his head for one last look at Luo Mu, but his vision suddenly spun.
Then he plunged into eternal darkness.
The headless body collapsed heavily to the ground.
Whoosh!
More than twenty streams of gray mist surged out from the ground covered in blood and flesh, merging into Luo Mu’s body, gradually transforming into blade Qi.
“Ding!”
“You used the ‘No Life Blade Classic,’ continuously killing twenty-four people, triggering a critical hit and gaining twenty-fold rewards!”
In an instant, the amount of blade Qi surged dramatically.
The total number had already reached two hundred!
He was not far from the initial glimpse.
Additionally, he had gained some new insights into the Extreme Blade Technique.
“Not bad.”
Luo Mu nodded slightly.
These people weren’t killed for nothing; there had been some gains.
He then glanced at the others and leisurely left.
After the thousand-fold critical hit, the mysteries within the blade marks had been completely grasped, with not a trace remaining.
Therefore, there was no need to linger here any longer.
It was a pity that the other blade marks had been severely damaged, and their martial essence had dissipated; otherwise, he might have been able to directly elevate his blade momentum to perfection here!
As for Qi Yun’s last words,
Luo Mu paid no mind at all.
A mere Opening Ming Blade Sect, which couldn’t even compare to the Xuantian Sword Sect, dared to threaten a disciple of the academy.
If the Opening Ming Blade Sect dared to come to the academy to cause trouble,
then tomorrow, the map of Fengdu County would forever erase the Opening Ming Blade Sect!
Although the academy had an academic nature, remaining quite quiet and low-key most of the time, if someone truly provoked it, it would make the world understand what a behemoth truly was!
After Luo Mu left,
the crowd finally relaxed, each wiping the cold sweat off their brows.
That was terrifying!
Without even using blade momentum, he could easily slay a True Aperture Realm ninth-level martial artist.
If he had unleashed it, wouldn’t he be able to kill even those at the Spirit Sea Realm?
Regarding this, everyone hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed!
The Spirit Sea Realm… would also have to die!
After all, that was eighty percent blade momentum!
It was not just ten or twenty percent!
The further one went with the blade momentum, the harder it became to comprehend, but likewise, the power increased significantly!
It was incredibly frightening!
“This is the academy.”
Someone’s voice revealed their shock. “Even an outer palace disciple is this extraordinarily powerful; don’t be fooled by the news of various sects rising everywhere. It’s merely that the academy is relatively low-key.”
“Indeed.”
What had happened today had truly taught them a lesson.
The academy was far from declining; it remained an unshakeable giant!
If they had any offspring in the future, they would still need to find a way to send them to the academy!
Leaving King’s Chasm.
Luo Mu mounted his spiritual horse and headed toward the academy.
What puzzled him was that the spiritual horse, tied up in such a conspicuous place, hadn’t been taken by anyone.
“If I step into the Spirit Sea Realm, then the gap between me and the inner palace prodigies will be almost nonexistent.”
Luo Mu’s gaze was deep.
Cheng Qingman had said that the top-ranked prodigies in the inner palace had basically entered the Spirit Sea Realm and practiced high-tier Profound Rank martial skills, possessing martial momentum.
Now, he had bridged the gaps in every aspect one by one.
In certain areas… he was even stronger!
For example, eighty percent blade momentum!
That was not something just anyone could possess!
Even comprehending it was so difficult, let alone elevating it to such a high level!
Once unleashed, its power was incredibly terrifying. Luo Mu felt he could easily slay martial artists at the first or second levels of the Spirit Sea Realm.
This wasn’t an exaggeration; it was the truth.
According to Cheng Qingman, even those in the inner palace who possessed martial momentum were basically at one or two percent.
Only the current top five ranked might be higher, as they often secluded themselves, with no one knowing their exact comprehension level.
Since he had already reached this stage, Luo Mu naturally couldn’t set his sights on just the top one hundred.
But rather—first place!
Not only would it come with the most generous rewards, making it impossible to refuse,
but also all the various subsequent benefits that first place brought!
Shaking his head slightly,
Luo Mu dispersed his distractions. The immediate priority was to return to the academy, focus on his cultivation, and break through his realm.
Calculating, there were still about twenty-two days left.
Fully immersed.
He should have a chance to reach the Spirit Sea Realm.
Unbeknownst to him, he arrived at a shaded area.
Whoosh!
The spiritual horse gradually came to a stop, and Luo Mu narrowed his eyes.
He saw not far ahead.
Two figures stood on the branches.
They were enveloped in black robes.
Their faces and figures were obscured, but their eyes were tightly fixed on him.
