Splash...

The Thousand Spirit Jade Crystal Fruit melts upon entry, flowing into the lungs.

Instantly, a gentle and vast aura spreads through the body. Luo Feng understands that this should be the Yuan Qi converted from Demon Qi by the Thousand Spirit Jade Crystal Fruit.

What surprises Luo Feng is that the Yuan Qi in the Thousand Spirit Jade Crystal Fruit is incredibly pure. It doesn’t even require deliberate cultivation to gradually merge with the original Yuan Qi. With each Grand Circulation, he can feel a clear growth in cultivation, as if this Yuan Qi has always belonged to him, and now it’s simply merging into one.

"Indeed, it’s a top-grade five-tier Spiritual Medicine..."

Upon discovering this, joy arises in Luo Feng’s heart. With this, his cultivation will be twice as effective, and breaking through to the late sixth stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm should be no problem.

Gradually calming the excitement in his heart, Luo Feng concentrates all his mind and spirit, his body absorbing the vast medicinal power transformed by the Spiritual Medicine bit by bit.

In the eerie and complex swamp, the sound of tiger roars shakes the skies, clearly audible within a radius of ten miles.

"Seven Cultivation Sword Radiance!"

A low shout from Shen Yu ignites crisp emerald Yuan Qi flames all over his body. The flames transform into seven vague yet real sword shadows. As he slashes out with a sword, the seven sword shadows shoot straight out, stirring the airflow, forming a massive sword light, flying forward to slash.

Splash! Splash!

The wounded pair of Black-Scaled Demon Tigers have nowhere to escape, swept into the Sword Qi. The pitch-black Demon Qi is sliced open, their bodies cut and bleeding profusely. They stagger a few steps, letting out an unreconciled roar, and fall dead.

Hoo...

Feeling the lifelessness of the two Black-Scaled Demon Tigers, Shen Yu exhales deeply, sitting down propped by his longsword.

At this moment, his clothes are tattered, and there are many blood marks on him. His eyes, once shining brightly, now appear dim.

These two Black-Scaled Demon Tigers were close to advancing to seventh-level Demon Beasts and carried a trace of ancient bloodline within. Their true strength is not inferior to a Martial Artist in the initial stage of the seventh Spiritual Rotation Realm. Although he managed to kill the two demon beasts, he’s not well off either; his Yuan Qi is consumed by eighty to ninety percent, nearing exhaustion, and he’s severely injured.

"Damn it! Luo Feng, once I regain my strength, I will tear you to pieces to vent my hatred!"

Gritting his teeth, veins on Shen Yu’s forehead throb violently, with a gloomy gaze resembling a deep abyss.

"I must leave here first and find a place to recover my Yuan Qi, or if I encounter another sixth-level demon beast, I won’t be able to handle it."

Suppressing the killing intent, Shen Yu stands up, ready to leave, but suddenly he becomes alert, his Yuan Qi forming a massive Sword Shadow around him.

Clang!

Almost at the same time, a blood-colored saber light flies over, causing the Sword Shadow to tremble violently and almost shatter.

"Blood Saber Guards!"

Shen Yu spits out a mouthful of blood, turning to see the figure behind him, his face darkening severely.

At some point, more than a dozen figures appeared in the dense forest. These shadows wore black cloaks and wielded blood-red treasured sabers, clearly the Blood Saber Guards under the command of one of the hundred and eight Demon Generals, the Blood Saber Demon General!

"Heh, despite being so heavily injured, you managed to evade my Blood Light Slash; quick reaction indeed, worthy of being the Seamless Sword Shen Yu of the Sky Sword Pavilion..."

One of the Blood Saber Guards steps forward, licking his blade, his eerie gaze landing on Shen Yu, "I wonder how many more strikes you can avoid!"

Swish!

As soon as the words fall, this Blood Saber Guard’s figure glides along the ground like a blood cloud, sweeping over, slicing all grass and trees with its sharp Qi Force.

Shen Yu’s face slightly darkens, his sword edge trembles, transforming into seven Sword Shadows to slash at the incoming Blood Saber Guard.

Splash!

The Blood Saber Guard charging forward is shredded into pieces by the Sword Qi, with flesh scattering all over.

"I’ll give you three breaths to disappear from my sight, or else, show no mercy!"

Shen Yu shakes his sword edge, his cold gaze sweeping on the nearby Blood Saber Guards.

"Hmph, do you think we’re fools?"

A middle-aged Blood Saber Guard sneers, giving a low shout: "Don’t fight him one-on-one, he’s heavily injured. Let’s all go together and exhaust him to death!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Swish, swish, swish...

Nearly twenty Blood Saber Guards simultaneously make their move, like a blood-colored storm, swiftly shooting towards Shen Yu, fast as lightning.

"Seven Cultivation Sword Radiance!"

Clenching his teeth, Shen Yu circulates the residual Yuan Qi within him and slashes out.

Whoosh!

Seven sword rays churn the airflow, forming a Sword Qi storm, sweeping out.

Screams arise as this single slash kills five Blood Saber Guards of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

Splash!

A saber light sliced in, leaving a bloody mouth on Shen Yu’s shoulder, spewing out a blood arrow.

"No, I must retreat now; with my current Yuan Qi, I cannot kill all these people, I’ll be exhausted here sooner or later!"

Adding injury to injury, Shen Yu is extremely furious, having just managed to slay two Black-Scaled Demon Tigers, only to encounter disciples of the Demon Sect at this moment. Ever since the hunting tournament started, nothing seemed to be going his way!

Summoning his breath, Shen Yu slashes out, knocking away the Blood Saber Guards blocking the path, and leaps toward the dense forest.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Just as his feet leave the ground, several saber lights slice in, forcibly blocking Shen Yu, as several Blood Saber Guards come wielding their blades.

Clang clang clang...

In an instant, within the dimly lit secret forest, blades and sword shadows flickered continuously. The ground shattered, air currents surged wildly, and many large trees were cut in half.

Slash!

Shen Yu finally exhausted his Yuan Qi, and his entire right arm was severed at the wrist by a Blood Saber Guard. The arm, along with the precious sword, flew dozens of meters away. His body staggered backward as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Blood Saber Guards weren’t faring well either; in just a short time, more than ten of them were killed, their corpses scattered everywhere, showcasing Shen Yu’s terrifying prowess!

"Kill!"

Seeing Shen Yu lose his sword, the few remaining Blood Saber Guards were greatly shocked and charged forward.

"Ah! I refuse to accept this!"

Shen Yu roared out in anger.

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

Four blood-colored curved blades came slashing, tearing Shen Yu’s body into pieces. In his last moment, he suddenly felt a pang of regret, regretting his rash pursuit of Luo Feng.

In the eerie and mysterious swamp, slaughter occurred everywhere.

The air was thick with the smell of blood.

"Mixed Yuan Hole Sky!"

In a dense forest, sword light flashed, and a dozen sword Qi storms appeared, shredding vast swathes of trees to pieces, rolling forward unstoppably.

"That’s the Mixed Yuan Wind Sword of the Sky Sword Pavilion! Run!"

"We’re not their match, let’s leave here first!"

A group of Blood Saber Guards in the forest saw the sword Qi storm, and their faces turned pale. Like startled birds, they scattered in all directions. However, the sword Qi storm was not only incredibly fast but also generated a strong pulling force, sucking in the nearby Blood Saber Guards, turning them into a mess of flesh.

"Hahaha... Since you’re here, why the rush to leave?"

Behind the sword Qi storm, a tall figure emerged; it was Lu Yun, a disciple of the Sky Sword Pavilion who had crossed swords with Luo Feng in Mixed City, ranked 46th in the previous New Dragon List.

With a wild laugh, Lu Yun shook his hand, releasing a whirlwind of sword Qi. The remaining two or three Blood Saber Guards were instantly torn to shreds, their blood spilling everywhere.

Ga!

A piercing scream came from the sky. The Blood Jade Demon Bat, carrying four figures, appeared above the forest. Leading them was a cold-faced youth, Zhuang Fei, ranked 37th in the New Dragon List.

Whoosh!

The four figures flashed, landing beside Lu Yun.

Zhuang Fei glanced at the incomplete corpses and said, "Junior Brother Lu, Blackwater Lake is the real battlefield. Save your strength."

Lu Yun beckoned with his hand, and the Blood Saber Guard identity tokens in the forest floated over, numbering twenty-four in total. He laughed, "Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I will be careful."

Zhuang Fei nodded, took out a delicate jade flute, and played it silently.

Ga!

The Blood Jade Demon Bat roared, flapping its wings like a massive dark cloud, quickly disappearing into the sky.

"Senior Brother, why did you send the Blood Jade Demon Bat back?"

Lu Yun asked, puzzled. The Blood Jade Demon Bat was a level seven Demon Beast, and with its help, unless encountering a Demon General level expert, they could easily triumph. Earlier, a sixth-tier late-stage Asura was torn apart by the bat’s claw without any resistance, effortlessly securing an Asura Spike.

Zhuang Fei shook his head, "Blackwater Lake is not like other places. Even Demon Beasts dare not approach easily. Bringing a mount there could have serious consequences."

"What consequences?" asked a disciple of the Sky Sword Pavilion.

"At that time, it’s likely the Blood Jade Demon Bat wouldn’t help us kill the Demon Sect disciples but might instead attack us," Zhuang Fei said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun and the others gasped. They were well aware of the Blood Jade Demon Bat’s fearsome nature. If it really attacked them, it would be hard to say how many of them could survive.

"Let’s go; the experts from the Demon Sect are probably all at Blackwater Lake," Zhuang Fei said as he swung his sword, decapitating a still-breathing Blood Saber Guard, then turned and headed deeper into the forest.

Lu Yun took a few steps in pursuit and suddenly thought of something. "I wonder how Luo Feng and his group are doing. It’s a pity we’re not at the same gathering point. Otherwise..."

Lu Yun let out a few cold laughs. The last defeat in Mixed City left him feeling humiliated. If people knew he lost to Luo Feng, it would be a significant blow to his reputation.

A cold glint flashed in Zhuang Fei’s eyes as he shook his head:

"The Misty Swamp is extremely dangerous, with underground demons at the Asura level. With their strength, reaching Blackwater Lake alive is uncertain. Let’s not forget our mission this time; hunting down more Demon Sect disciples is what’s important. As for other matters, there will be opportunities in the future."

"Yes!"

Lu Yun sneered inwardly: Luo Feng, I hope you don’t run into us!

At the same time, in another forest within the Misty Swamp.

"Tiger Roar Sky Cauldron!"

In the dense forest, a golden tiger several feet tall roared skyward, an almost tangible golden shockwave sweeping out. Within a hundred-meter radius, all trees were shattered along with more than a dozen Blood Saber Guards attempting to flee.

Above, a dozen Sky Flying Demons witnessed this terrifying strike. Shivers ran down their spines as they flapped their wings desperately, fleeing into the distance.

"Hehehe, why rush to leave? Leave your head behind first."

A coquettish laugh sounded, and then a slender figure rushed up to the sky. Wielding two gleaming crescent blades, she released a dozen-meter-long blade light that spread like wings, resembling a majestic and mighty azure giant eagle.
