Chapter 639: Killing!
Li Yun’s gaze remained cold.
"This is the first time I am using the full power of these two Sword Intents together."
The sword in his hand trembled more intensely.
"Since you wanted to kill me so badly, you can be the first person to experience it."
As soon as his voice fell, Li Yun’s sword moved.
"Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art."
The thirty percent Xiantian Stage Slaughter Sword Intent erupted fully.
In an instant, hundreds upon hundreds of crimson slaughter qi swords appeared around Li Yun. Then, the number continued increasing rapidly. One thousand, two thousand, and even more sword shadows gathered in the air, each one condensed from terrifying Slaughter Sword Qi.
Every slaughter qi sword carried the pressure of Xiantian Stage Slaughter Sword Intent.
The entire forest seemed to transform into a crimson sword domain.
However, Li Yun did not stop there.
A bright immortal light flashed across his sword edge.
"Eternal Immortal Sword Art, Undying Edge."
The ten percent Xiantian Stage Immortal Sword Intent poured into the thousands of slaughter qi swords.
At that moment, the crimson swords changed.
A thin layer of pale immortal light appeared along the edge of every slaughter qi sword. The killing power of Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art was already terrifying, but after being enhanced by Undying Edge, the swords became even more frightening.
Slaughter Sword Intent gave them overwhelming killing force, while Immortal Sword Intent made their edges stable, enduring, and almost impossible to destroy.
It was no longer a simple sword art.
It was the overlap of slaughter and immortality.
The gray-robed middle-aged man’s scalp went numb.
He roared and poured all his essence qi into the Blood Sword without holding anything back. The Blood Sea Bone Severing Sword surged even higher, and countless bone shadows within the blood sea rushed toward Li Yun’s thousands of slaughter qi swords.
"Break for me!"
The gray-robed middle-aged man shouted madly.
The blood sea crashed forward.
The thousands of slaughter qi swords descended at the same time.
Boom!
The two attacks collided.
In the first instant, the blood sea managed to swallow dozens of slaughter qi swords. However, the gray-robed middle-aged man’s expression immediately changed, because those slaughter qi swords were not destroyed.
Immortal Sword Intent wrapped around their edges and prevented them from collapsing completely, while Slaughter Sword Intent continued tearing through the blood sea from within.
Crackling sounds rang out continuously.
The bone shadows shattered one after another.
The blood sea was ripped apart layer by layer.
The Blood Sword in the gray-robed middle-aged man’s hand trembled violently, and more blood poured from the wound in his abdomen. His face turned paler and paler as his lifespan burned at an even faster rate.
"No. This is impossible."
He gritted his teeth and desperately tried to push his attack forward, but the overlapping power of the two Sword Intents was far beyond what he could resist in his current state.
Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art provided endless killing power.
Eternal Immortal Sword Art, Undying Edge, made every strand of Sword Qi seem impossible to erase.
Every time the blood sea destroyed a slaughter qi sword, another one immediately pierced through the gap. Every time the bone shadows tried to block the crimson tide, they were cut apart by the immortal edge wrapped around the swords.
The clash between the two attacks lasted only a few breaths.
Then, the blood sea collapsed.
The massive crimson Sword Light formed by the gray-robed middle-aged man shattered into countless fragments. The Blood Sword in his hand cracked from the center, then exploded with a sharp sound.
The gray-robed middle-aged man’s eyes widened with horror.
Before he could retreat, the remaining slaughter qi swords had already arrived.
One sword pierced through his shoulder.
Another pierced through his thigh.
Dozens of slaughter qi swords followed, tearing through his protective qi and entering his body from every direction. Slaughter Sword Intent destroyed his vitality, while Immortal Sword Intent made the wounds difficult to heal or suppress.
"Ah!"
The gray-robed middle-aged man let out a miserable scream.
He tried to struggle, but the final sword had already descended.
This sword was not large.
It was only a single condensed Sword Light formed by the fusion of the two sword arts. Crimson Slaughter Sword Qi formed its body, while pale Immortal Sword Intent formed its edge. It moved silently through the air, but the pressure it released was more terrifying than all the previous Sword Qi combined.
Li Yun’s eyes were calm as he pointed his sword forward.
"Die."
The final Sword Light flashed.
It pierced straight through the gray-robed middle-aged man’s heart.
His body froze.
The blood aura around him scattered. The broken Blood Sword fragments fell to the ground one after another, and the wound in his abdomen stopped bleeding only because all vitality within his body had been cut off.
The gray-robed middle-aged man stared at Li Yun with wide eyes.
Even at the moment of death, his face was still filled with disbelief.
He had never imagined that he, a powerhouse at the perfection stage of the 5th level of Heavenly Core Realm, would die at the hands of a junior whose cultivation was far below his own.
More importantly, he had died beneath the combined power of two Xiantian Stage Sword Intents.
A moment later, the light in his eyes disappeared.
His body collapsed heavily to the ground.
The gray-robed middle-aged man was dead.
Li Yun slowly lowered his sword.
The thousands of slaughter qi swords in the air gradually dissolved, and the pale immortal light wrapped around them also faded away. The terrifying pressure of the two Sword Intents slowly receded, but the aura left behind by that strike still lingered in the forest.
Ye Qingxue stood not far away, looking at Li Yun with shock in her eyes.
She had known that Li Yun was powerful, but she had not expected him to be powerful to this extent.
Thirty percent Xiantian Stage Slaughter Sword Intent.
Ten percent Xiantian Stage Immortal Sword Intent.
When those two powers overlapped, the strength of Li Yun’s sword attack rose to a level far beyond what ordinary logic could explain.
"The combination of these two Sword Intents is stronger than I expected."
Li Yun looked at the corpse of the gray-robed middle-aged man and nodded slightly.
Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art carried terrifying killing power, while Eternal Immortal Sword Art, Undying Edge, gave his Sword Qi lasting and indestructible sharpness. When the two were used together, they created a force that was much stronger than either one alone.
This battle had proved one thing.
Even against a 5th level Heavenly Core Realm expert, Li Yun was no longer without the power to kill.
"Qingxue, let us go."
Li Yun stored away his sword and spoke calmly.
Although it was currently daytime in Darkwood Forest, the commotion caused by his battle with the gray-robed middle-aged man had not been small. There was no guarantee that it would not attract powerful demonic beasts.
If a demonic beast like that giant python appeared again, it would be troublesome.
Ye Qingxue nodded and followed him without hesitation.
The two of them quickly left the battlefield.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month went by.
After a full month, Li Yun and Ye Qingxue finally walked out of Darkwood Forest.
