Chapter 633 - 263: Penetrating Blade Light, Guo Wei’s Qi Refining
Guo Wei’s spear swept out, covering all three of them.
He would rather die than submit.
He had to get justice for Chu Lingguang.
"Guo Wei!"
Lin Jiangkun was furious.
The esteemed head of the Demon Suppression Bureau’s Governor’s Office, a position even higher than that of a County Mansion lord, had come personally to persuade Guo Wei. Yet, Guo Wei was completely unyielding, even daring to attack first.
He couldn’t be bothered with anything else.
He swiftly struck out with his Divine Power Claw Shadow.
With the power of a single claw, he shattered Guo Wei’s Spear Technique, completely dismantling the force of the thrust.
He aimed for Guo Wei’s throat. His claw broke through the defense of Guo Wei’s Spear Technique and easily closed around his neck.
CLANG!
The Long Spear fell to the ground.
"Ptooey!"
Guo Wei spat a wad of phlegm at Lin Jiangkun.
Lin Jiangkun blocked it with his Protective Power. Guo Wei’s actions had thoroughly enraged him. His five fingers pierced through Guo Wei’s six-layered Dharma Aspect and easily gripped the bones of his throat. At that moment, all his power erupted from his fingertips.
A universally respected Martial Arts Grandmaster was utterly useless before him, the head of the Governor’s Office.
Besides, Zhang Xuan himself had sent him here.
He had no qualms about killing Guo Wei.
SHIIING!
But just as Guo Wei felt like his bones were about to be crushed, a blinding flash of a saber pierced through his body from behind. It channeled his own responsive power, slashing out from his chest and straight toward Lin Jiangkun.
BANG!
Lin Jiangkun was caught off guard.
He only had time to cross his arms to block.
The slash, which had passed through Guo Wei’s body and carried his responsive power, sent him flying.
"Sir!"
The other two men’s faces changed on the spot.
They both attacked, striking at Guo Wei with their palms.
Guo Wei was still in a daze.
’That blinding saber light entered through my back and slashed out from my chest, yet I’m completely unharmed?’
Moreover, the responsive power throughout his body was stirring restlessly. Stimulated by the saber’s light, it felt as if it were about to awaken, allowing him to easily perceive the resonating nodes between each response.
He felt that if this power awakened, he might be able to touch the captivating, unattainable power of the Qi Refining realm.
He wanted to see who was helping him from behind.
SHIIING!
However, the moment he turned his head, he saw a person in black wielding a Willow Leaf Saber. They unleashed three more layers of saber light at him, each one passing through his body.
They channeled the responsive power within him, sending rapid slashes toward Lin Jiangkun and his two men.
"A demon!"
Lin Jiangkun shouted.
’Unless it’s a transcendent being, no one could display such a heaven-defying ability. To make a saber’s light carry another’s responsive power, passing through their body without injury and seemingly amplifying the force in the process... A Divine Skill like this couldn’t possibly exist in the mortal world.’
’And the experts from Yuanchu Mountain would never help Guo Wei.’
’There’s only one possibility: it’s a demon.’
’Or perhaps this person in black is that Wolf Demon.’
The three of them thrust at Guo Wei simultaneously.
HUMMM!
Guo Wei stomped his right foot on the ground.
The Long Spear lying on the ground, the one Chu Lingguang had trained him with, bounced back into his palm. With the spear in hand, the response of the power in his body grew even more distinct. The once-unattainable realm had never felt so close.
HUMMM!
He thrust his spear out once more.
It was still the first Thrust from the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear.
A surging spear shadow formed a terrifying, piercing light, like thousands of raindrops falling on the three men at once.
SHIIING!
At the same time, the black-clothed person behind him slashed three more times.
Each flash of the saber passed through Guo Wei’s body, channeling his own responsive power to form a terrifying blade aura that slashed repeatedly at Lin Jiangkun and his men.
ROAR!
Guo Wei heard a White Tiger roar.
The Qi Sea Power in his Dantian, at the moment his responsive power awakened, gradually transformed into Spiritual Power.
Amidst this transformation of his aura, he also perceived vine-like roots. These roots permeated his bloodline, forming special meridians that merged with his body.
That was the power left behind when the saber light had passed through him.
It was this very power that was helping Guo Wei rapidly achieve resonance with his own responsive power, causing his cultivation level to climb steadily.
"Bizarre?"
"A demon?"
"Hahaha!"
"So what if I become a demon!"
Guo Wei laughed heartily.
He had already resolved to die, swearing he would never help the Court persuade Chu Lingguang. He never expected that at this critical juncture, when all hope seemed lost, a mysterious person would appear to help him.
They not only saved his life but also helped him awaken his responsive power.
BOOM!
Caught off guard, Lin Jiangkun and his men were sent crashing through the Martial Arts Hall’s courtyard wall, flying from the Inner Courtyard to the Outer Courtyard.
HUMMM!
Guo Wei gave chase, spear in hand.
The spear’s shadow once again covered the three men. Before, Lin Jiangkun could shatter his full-powered spear thrust with a single claw. Now, under the effect of the responsive power, every thrust was lethal.
Lin Jiangkun and his men could no longer remain as composed as before.
SHIIING!
Furthermore, the black-clothed person behind him once again landed three consecutive slashes on Guo Wei. Each ray of saber light that permeated his body left behind a vine-like root within him.
This ensured Guo Wei could fully merge with the strange power, using it to awaken all of his own responses and break through into the Qi Refining realm.
SPURT!
Lin Jiangkun was severely wounded.
"Let’s go!"
Knowing they were no match for him, the three turned to flee.
Guo Wei gave chase again, but unfortunately, having just gained the response of his full power, his control over it was still clumsy. He couldn’t catch up to Lin Jiangkun and his men.
But the black-clothed person behind him shot forward.
Their Saber Technique was a series of continuous slashes.
Each slash was stronger than the last.
Guo Wei’s eyes widened. He had seen this at the Martial Arts Examination.
’This is the Yan Family’s Ultimate Killing Saber Technique.’
’Could the person in black be...’
"You’re..."
At that moment, Lin Jiangkun also recognized the Saber Technique.
