"The aura has grown stronger!"
Luo Cheng looked at Qin Ming, his brows slightly furrowed.
In his perception, the moment the blood energy erupted recklessly, Qin Ming’s aura soared straight upward, already breaking through the previous limit!
"Luo Cheng, if you think you can kill me—dream on! But, forcing me to use my Blood Reverse Technique, you can consider that your triumph!"
Under the overwhelming shroud of blood energy, Qin Ming’s eyes were nearly bleeding, glowing a crimson red. Staring at Luo Cheng, he approached step by step, each press of his foot leaving cracks on the ground.
During his training and adventures, Qin Ming had stumbled upon a Martial Soul Divine Power secret technique!
This Martial Soul secret technique happened to align well with his Martial Soul. From it, he grasped a little of its essence—this Blood Reverse Technique!
The technique could burn Origin Essence Blood, boosting one’s strength tremendously within a short period, breaking past limits.
He had once used this technique to instantly kill opponents at the same level!
However, it came with a significant price. After using it, a Martial Artist would suffer severe damage to their blood energy, their strength dropping to fifty or sixty percent of their original state, difficult to recover in a short amount of time!
This was precisely why he had been desperate to acquire Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Pills during the auction!
"Slash!" fгeewebnovёl.com
Amidst boiling blood energy, Qin Ming’s aura peaked, and he struck diagonally at Luo Cheng with his sword.
A crystalline blood-colored Sword Qi shot out rapidly, its aftershock slicing through the ground effortlessly, its sharpness unmatched.
Luo Cheng flipped his wrist, also swinging his sword, striking squarely at the blood-colored Sword Qi.
The two streams of Sword Qi detonated simultaneously, shattering into countless blades of energy that sliced through the surrounding vegetation and earth.
Luo Cheng felt a surge of sharp energy wash over him, causing him to slide back some distance.
Seeing this, Ren Qian’s eyes lit up brightly, his excitement nearly driving him to shout, his tightly clenched fists trembling, his gaze sinister and vengeful.
To him, Qin Ming’s display of this ultimate secret technique was bound to kill Luo Cheng!
He couldn’t wait to see the scene of Luo Cheng’s body torn apart!
However, Qin Ming’s brows furrowed slightly, his expression turning grim.
Even after using the Blood Reverse Technique, his strength—which was enough to instantly kill ordinary Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artists—had failed to injure Luo Cheng with a single strike!
This left him startled and even a bit apprehensive!
Luo Cheng was only at the Middle Stage of Tongxuan Realm Second Layer!
And a waste who had awakened a Wasted Martial Soul!
"No matter what kind of freak you are! Meeting me today spells your death!!"
With a deep yell, Qin Ming’s blood energy surged even further, lifting his Treasure Sword high above his head. Intense blood energy and Essence Energy roared upward along the blade, forming a blood-colored tornado!
At the pinnacle of his aura, Qin Ming swung his sword ferociously at Luo Cheng.
With a single sword strike, the air within five steps was compressed and burst outward. A blood-colored tornado nearly half a meter thick roared toward Luo Cheng, its passage leaving terrifying fissures on the ground, while the air, trembling like water, fragmented into chaotic currents.
"This Sword Qi is formidable!"
Before the Sword Qi arrived, the razor-sharp aura already caused Luo Cheng’s hair to stand on end, and for the first time, a sense of crisis rose in his heart.
This strike had already surpassed the power of a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artist!
Suddenly, amid the intense stimulation, Luo Cheng’s mind was punctuated by an illusory sound of shattering, as if some invisible barrier had been broken. The Flame Trace Sword in his hand quivered softly, emitting a clear and resonating hum!
Profound and mysterious, Luo Cheng unexpectedly felt the joyful energy of the Flame Trace Sword!
A fierce burst of sharp energy erupted from Luo Cheng’s body, causing the surrounding air to tremble audibly. Piercing through the atmosphere, he seemed like a peerless divine weapon unsheathed. The astonishingly sharp aura dispersed a large section of the sky’s clouds!
Under Qin Ming’s sword momentum stimulation, Luo Cheng’s Sword Dao Realm naturally broke through the final barrier, ascending to Human Sword Integration!
In this realm, Luo Cheng felt as though he had fused with his Flame Trace Sword, and instantly, an invincible, all-breaking resolve surged in his heart. Even the sword tornado raging toward him seemed fragile.
With one hand gripping the sword, he slashed straightforwardly.
"Electric Passage—Heavenly Fall Third Form!"
Blinding electric light erupted, and a radiant electric serpent shot out like a bolt of lightning!
No one could describe the speed and rapidity of this sword strike; it was as if a true thunderbolt descended from heaven!
The blood tornado was pierced through instantly by the electric light. Qin Ming had no chance to evade, his entire body blasted away, spitting out a large mouthful of fresh blood mid-air. A fist-sized bloody hole appeared in his right chest.
"This is Human Sword Integration! A sword within intent, indestructible, all-breaking—truly powerful!"
Luo Cheng looked at the Flame Trace Sword in his hand, a smile emerging on his face.
Having comprehended Human Sword Integration, he felt that everything had changed.
Previously, the Flame Trace Sword was just an ordinary sword in his eyes, merely a lifeless object.
Now, the sword felt as though it had come alive. Holding it was akin to it being an extension of his flesh and blood, the sensation ineffable.
"What! Human Sword Integration!"
A furious roar shattered the calm.
"You—a piece of trash—how could you possibly comprehend Human Sword Integration! This is impossible!"
Qin Ming pointed his finger at Luo Cheng, speaking while coughing blood, his face convulsing with veins, visibly agitated.
In the Xuanyuan Sect’s Outer Sect, he was considered a minor genius of the Sword Dao, with Human Sword Integration as his ultimate dream!
But this was incredibly difficult, exceptionally difficult!
Among the Three Great Sects’ Outer Sect disciples, numbering in the tens of thousands, there were countless talented individuals, yet only Luoxia Sect’s Yan Qingshuang had ever successfully achieved Human Sword Integration!
Now witnessing this so-called trash with a Wasted Martial Soul—scorned by all—comprehend Human Sword Integration, one could imagine the emotional upheaval within Qin Ming.
Luo Cheng turned his gaze, offering a faint smile: "I have you to thank for this. That sword strike just now provided the opportunity for my breakthrough. Otherwise, it might have taken me some more time."
Luo Cheng spoke the truth. The Sword Dao Realm was intangible and ethereal; one couldn’t simply break through just by willing it. It required comprehension, luck, and the right opportunity—all indispensable.
If not for Qin Ming, it might have taken him ten days or half a month to hope for such a breakthrough.
Upon hearing that he had become Luo Cheng’s stepping stone, Qin Ming was so enraged that he vomited blood again.
"Enough, it’s time for you to go."
Luo Cheng raised his sword and stepped forward.
Knowing it was his end, Qin Ming roared in bitterness:
"I’m not willing! To think *I*, Qin Ming, would fall at the hands of a waste like you! But don’t think you’ll be smug for long. Offending our Crown Prince Hall means death is your only path! Death is your only path, Luo Cheng! I’ll wait for you below! Hahaha..."
A streak of Sword Qi flashed, and Qin Ming’s head rolled from his neck, his laughter cutting off abruptly.
"Then you’ll have to wait a long time!"
Luo Cheng shook his head.
Clip-clop, clip-clop...
Just then, a rush of urgent hoofbeats broke the air.
Ren Qian mounted his horse and fled without looking back.
Luo Cheng sneered, executing a diagonal slash.
The Condensed Sword Energy ignored the fifty-step distance, instantly severing all four legs of the galloping horse. Ren Qian was flung more than ten meters away, screaming in agony!
