The wind blew gently, but it could not disperse the thick smell of blood in the air.
Before the blade mark,
The ground was already soaked in a pool of blood, red as crimson.
The blood gathered into small streams, seeping into Qi Yun's shoes.
His face turned pale, his body trembling.
One slash...
Only one slash!
All of his fellow disciples... were dead!
No, wait!
It wasn't one slash!
It was an instant, in which nearly a hundred slashes were struck!
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a single whole body left!
At this moment, Qi Yun finally understood why this person dared to say that he wouldn't use blade momentum!
It turned out he had mastered such a terrifying blade technique!
It was definitely a rare Mystic-tier top-grade technique!!!
And what he practiced was only a low-grade technique.
"Nine."
The voice sounded again,
Like a nightmare, causing Qi Yun to snap back to reality.
His scalp tingled, and cold sweat ran down his spine.
Luo Mu, holding his blade, took a step forward.
Each step he took caused Qi Yun's heart to tremble.
"Eight."
Aaaahhh!
Qi Yun could no longer bear the pressure. He drew his blade and charged at Luo Mu.
"Double Crescent Blade Technique: Moonshadow Frost Flow!"
As the leader and the only Ninth Stage True Aperture Realm Cultivator, Qi Yun's strength was beyond question.
The blade in his hand was clearly stronger!
Far more threatening!
"Not bad."
Luo Mu's eyes brightened.
But that was all.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In just a split second, the two blades collided dozens of times.
"How could this be?!"
Qi Yun trembled inside.
The Double Crescent Blade Technique was not only fast but also devious, with many tricky angles of attack.
But under his full force,
Every single strike was blocked!
"Too slow."
A cold voice rang out, and Qi Yun instinctively looked into Luo Mu's eyes.
That indifferent gaze.
It filled Qi Yun with both fear and rage.
For all his life, he had always looked down on others, but now... he was the one being so easily disregarded?
Just as he was about to launch another attack,
Luo Mu struck!
The blade light streaked through the air, so fast that no one present could even follow it!
Qi Yun, holding his double blades, tried to block,
But he couldn't keep up!
He could only retreat continuously, his body covered with countless wounds.
Blood poured out, soaking his clothes.
Swish!
In the fourth instant, Luo Mu's blade sliced through Qi Yun's throat.
Qi Yun stopped moving.
His long blade slipped from his hand.
He raised his hand, fear and disbelief written across his face as he touched his neck.
It was warm...
"Your blade is too slow, and you dare act so domineering?"
"Wasting time."
Luo Mu sheathed his blade and casually brushed past Qi Yun.
He had hoped to find something interesting in the Ninth Stage True Aperture Realm's blade technique,
But after the exchange, it was nothing remarkable.
Quite average, really.
"Your sect... will... avenge me..."
Qi Yun struggled to speak, his voice filled with resentment.
He tried to turn his head to get a final look at Luo Mu, but the world around him spun wildly.
Then, he fell into eternal darkness.
His headless body crashed to the ground.
Whoosh!
More than twenty strands of gray mist flew out from the mass of blood and flesh and merged into Luo Mu's body.
They gradually turned into the Blade of No-Life Qi.
"Ding!"
"You have used [No-Life Sword Canon] and killed 24 people consecutively. Critical hit triggered, gaining a twentyfold reward!"
In an instant, the number of blade qi skyrocketed.
The total number reached two hundred!
The breakthrough to initial comprehension was almost within reach.
Furthermore, Luo Mu gained some new insights into the Extreme Blade style.
"Not bad."
Luo Mu nodded slightly.
These people didn't die in vain; he had gained something from the battle.
After glancing at the others, Luo Mu leisurely turned and walked away.
After the thousandfold critical hit, the mysteries within the blade marks had been fully understood, not a trace remained.
There was no need to linger here any longer.
Unfortunately, the other blade marks had already been severely damaged, and their Dao patterns dissipated. Otherwise, Luo Mu might have been able to raise his blade momentum to perfection right here!
As for Qi Yun's last words,
Luo Mu didn't take them to heart at all.
The so-called Kaimei Blade Sect was not even as strong as the Xuantian Sword Sect,
And they dared to threaten disciples of the Academy?
If the Kaimei Blade Sect dared to cause trouble in the Academy,
Then tomorrow, their sect would be erased from the map of Fengdu County forever!
Though the Academy was quiet and low-key on most days,
If someone truly provoked it,
The world would soon understand what a true behemoth was!
After Luo Mu left,
Everyone finally relaxed. They wiped the cold sweat off their brows.
It was terrifying!
Without even using blade momentum, he could easily kill a Ninth Stage True Aperture Realm expert.
If he had used his full power, would he have been able to kill someone in the Spirit Sea Realm?
For a brief moment, they hesitated,
But then they nodded in agreement.
Yes, someone in the Spirit Sea Realm would also die!
After all, this was eighty percent of the blade momentum!
Not one or two percent!
The higher the blade momentum, the harder it was to comprehend,
But the power also increased drastically!
It was terrifying!
"This is the Academy."
Someone spoke with awe, "Even an Outer Palace disciple is this terrifying. Don't be fooled by all the news about various sects rising. The Academy has just been low-key."
"Exactly."
The events of today truly taught them a lesson.
The Academy was far from declining; it remained an unshakable colossus!
If they ever had children, they would surely try their best to send them into the Academy!
After leaving the King's Gorge,
Luo Mu mounted his spirit horse and headed towards the Academy.
He was puzzled. The spirit horse was tied up in such an obvious place, yet no one had taken it.
"When I reach the Spirit Sea Realm, the gap with the geniuses of the Inner Academy will be almost nonexistent."
Luo Mu's eyes grew deep.
Cheng Qingman had once said that the top geniuses of the Inner Academy had all reached the Spirit Sea Realm, and practiced Mystic-tier top-grade martial arts, with grand martial momentum.
And now, Luo Mu had closed all the gaps.
In fact, in some aspects, he was even stronger!
Such as the eighty percent blade momentum!
Not everyone could possess that!
Even comprehending it was extremely difficult, let alone reaching such a high level!
Once he used it, the power was terrifying. Luo Mu felt like he could easily kill anyone in the first or second stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
This was not an exaggeration, but the truth.
According to Cheng Qingman, even those with martial momentum in the Inner Academy only reached one or two percent.
Only the top five rankings might have higher levels, but they had been secluded for years, so no one knew their exact cultivation.
Now that Luo Mu had reached this stage,
He naturally wouldn't set his sights on just the top one hundred.
His goal was—
The first place!
Not only were the rewards much more generous,
But the benefits of being number one were immense.
With a slight shake of his head,
Luo Mu cleared his mind of distractions.
For now, the priority was to return to the Academy, focus on cultivation, and break through his realm.
Counting the days, there were still about twenty-two days left.
If he threw himself into his cultivation,
He might have a chance to reach the Spirit Sea Realm.
Without realizing it,
He had reached a forested area.
Hiss...
The spirit horse slowly stopped, and Luo Mu squinted his eyes.
In the distance,
Two figures stood on the branches of a tree,
Shrouded in black robes.
Their faces and figures were obscured, but their gazes were fixed firmly on him.
