Devouring Soul Emperor

BOOM!

The saber and sword clashed.

Thunder crackled down from the Earth Seal Sword. In an instant, it effortlessly tore through the dazzling white light of the Tier Four Martial Soul Battle Saber and surged toward the Level Seven Martial Spirit’s arm.

Terrified, the man immediately let go of his saber. At the same time, he balled his other hand into a fist and threw a punch, blasting a massive amount of Primordial Power at the terrifying bolt of thunder.

Without the support of his Primordial Power and Martial Soul Power, the Martial Soul Battle Saber immediately shattered.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Level Seven Martial Spirit threw three consecutive punches. Each one unleashed a huge amount of pure Primordial Power. Overloading his body to channel this power even made his meridians ache faintly.

Fortunately, those three punches managed to stop the bolt of thunder, preventing it from reaching him.

However, he didn’t even have a moment to catch his breath.

Chu Qingyun raised the Earth Seal Sword again. He swung it down once more, wreathed in terrifying thunder!

It was... the Thunder Sword again!

After studying the insights left behind by that senior expert and practicing his swordsmanship in the Illusion Realm, where time flowed over twenty times faster, Chu Qingyun had naturally made significant gains.

He had now completely mastered the Thunder Sword!

Now that he had mastered the Thunder Sword, not only could he unleash it at will, but its power had also increased immensely!

Furthermore, under Chu Qingyun’s control, he was executing the Thunder Sword and the Thunder Light Sword Qi simultaneously. This meant that a single swing of his sword delivered an attack that combined the force of Sword Qi and Sword Intent!

"No! How is that possible!"

The Level Seven Martial Spirit was utterly horrified, his eyes filled with terror.

’Using it the first time could be called luck.’

’Using it a second time could be called good luck.’

’But to use it three times in a row... that couldn’t be explained by luck anymore!’

The Thunder Sword tore through all the Level Seven Martial Spirit’s defenses as if they were rotten wood and killed him with a single strike!

Even a Level Seven Martial Spirit with a Tier Four Martial Soul was still no match for Chu Qingyun.

Mu Xiaoxiao, Huo Qinggang, and even Dai, who was lying on the ground, all stared wide-eyed at Chu Qingyun in disbelief.

Mu Xiaoxiao was the most shocked of all.

She knew perfectly well that just a few days ago, when they first entered Blood Abyss City, Chu Qingyun had only a vague, faint grasp of Sword Intent.

And now, only a few days later, he had somehow managed to figure out a move that touched upon Sword Intent all on his own!

Of course, what she didn’t know was that while only a few days had passed for her in the real world, Chu Qingyun had been training arduously for over half a month in the Light Card Space.

After killing the two from the Qianshui Dynasty, Chu Qingyun walked toward the last man, Huo Qinggang.

Huo Qinggang’s expression changed instantly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Qingyun, can you let me go?"

"And why should I?" Chu Qingyun replied.

"Consider it a favor I owe you. I can promise you that the Dark Moon Dynasty will never cause you trouble again," Huo Qinggang said hurriedly.

He had thought it through clearly. Chu Qingyun’s strength had surged, to the point that even Level Seven Martial Spirits were no match for him. Even if the Dark Moon Dynasty wanted to cause him trouble again, they would have to think twice.

"Hilarious. You won’t cause me trouble again? Right now, you should be worried about whether *I’ll* be coming to cause *you* trouble," Chu Qingyun said with a cold laugh.

’How could he not understand such simple logic?’

"What is it you want?" Huo Qinggang asked.

"If you come to hunt someone down, you should be prepared to be killed in return. I want you dead!"

"Thunder Sword!"

As he spoke, Chu Qingyun once again unleashed the Thunder Sword, slashing down at Huo Qinggang.

"Damn you!"

"I’m not that easy to kill!"

Huo Qinggang roared, putting all his strength into his strongest punch. A three-meter-wide gray fist of energy fearlessly met Chu Qingyun’s sword.

However, it was all in vain.

As Huo Qinggang watched with despair in his eyes, the Thunder Sword shattered his strongest punch, and the savage, ferocious thunder instantly washed over his body.

Again, it was a single strike that killed Huo Qinggang!

After the three of them died, Martial Souls appeared, hovering over their bodies.

Naturally, Chu Qingyun didn’t hold back, devouring all of them.

Among them, the golden gauntlet Martial Soul and the black spear Martial Soul were both Tier Three and of little value. But the great saber, shining with a platinum light, was the Tier Four Martial Soul Chu Qingyun desperately needed.

His Devouring Martial Soul was now five percent enhanced.

During the previous battle at the pavilion, Chu Qingyun had obtained three Tier Four Martial Souls. With the one he just acquired, devouring them all would be enough to enhance his Devouring Martial Soul to about twenty percent.

Of course, it took time for a Tier Four Devouring Martial Soul to devour other Tier Four Martial Souls.

To completely devour four Tier Four Martial Souls, it would probably take more than ten days.

After absorbing their Martial Souls, Chu Qingyun walked over to Mu Xiaoxiao to check on their injuries. "Mu Xiaoxiao, Dai, are you two hurt?"

"I’m fine, but I think Dai is injured."

Mu Xiaoxiao’s face was pale, but she pushed through the pain and knelt to examine Dai’s injuries.

Huo Qinggang had kicked Dai twice, each kick immensely powerful. They had not only broken his ribs but also damaged his internal organs, causing severe internal injuries.

Mu Xiaoxiao took a small jade bottle from her Storage Ring and tipped out an elixir enveloped in a cyan Pill Mist.

The moment the elixir appeared, it released a refreshing and uplifting fragrance.

Chu Qingyun, however, raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly. ’She has a Storage Ring and carries Healing Elixirs with her... Mu Xiaoxiao’s background is likely anything but ordinary.’

After Dai took the elixir, he closed his eyes and began silently refining the Elixir Power to heal his injuries.

Meanwhile, Mu Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the ground and began circulating her Primordial Power to heal herself.

"Why aren’t you taking an elixir?" Chu Qingyun asked.

Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, turned the jade bottle upside down, and shook it. Pouting, she said, "You think elixirs grow on trees? That was my last one. Besides, my injuries aren’t serious, so there’s no need to waste it."

Chu Qingyun nodded. He then took out his own jade bottle, tipped out a Hundred Herbs Essence Pill, and handed it to Mu Xiaoxiao.

Before entering the Blood-soaked Land, he had made some preparations. He hadn’t brought many strength-enhancing elixirs like the Violent Yuan Pill.

However, he had refined a large number of Healing Elixirs like the Hundred Herbs Essence Pill.

"This... I only have some minor internal injuries. There’s no need to waste an elixir..." Mu Xiaoxiao said, hesitating as she looked at the elixir in the palm of her hand.

The Pill Mist around this elixir was thick; it looked to be of even higher quality than the one Dai had taken.

Chu Qingyun smiled and shook the jade bottle in his hand. "Don’t worry, I have plenty more. Besides, we could run into danger at any moment in these ruins. It’s best to be fully healed."
