NOVEL WEB Chapter 305: Cleaving the Path of Life and Death with a Single Slash
The Cloud Platform was vast, spanning dozens of acres. Yet at that moment, it seemed incredibly small as everyone around frantically retreated.
The might behind the founding of the Blood God Sect created three forms of combat: a palm technique, a sword technique, and a saber technique. The Palm was the Blood Shadow Divine Palm, the Sword was the Blood River Divine Sword; the palm technique was unstoppable, the swordsmanship exceedingly complex, and the final one, the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, could even behead a Divinity Transformation.
Afterward, countless predecessors perfected this cultivation technique, dominating the entire Star Domain. Among these, the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber was the most lethal.
This was the martial arts of the Demonic Path that the Immortal Sect strongly criticized, but the Immortal Sect had also been studying and learning this saber technique all along.
Who wouldn't want to grow stronger as they fought, just like earlier, to kill the enemy and then immediately consume their essence as nourishment to replenish energy?
If it weren't for the fact that this saber technique was too nefarious and too difficult to learn, countless Golden Core Nascent Souls would not need to replicate it using magical treasures and Taoist arts, nor would they only focus on reaping its benefits, such as consuming lives. Even the Immortal Sect would have promoted this saber technique within its regular armies!
Unfortunately, this saber technique was just too difficult to master and progress in.
However, what did everyone witness now?
This Meng Yu, hailing from the Immortal Sect, wielded the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber and struck down a total of seventeen enemies, including five Foundation Establishment and twelve Qi Cultivation practitioners!
Indeed, the Immortal Sect is no different from the Demon Gate!
Threads of red lines wrapped around the Broken Blade, forming a complete long saber and mending its edge, whilst emitting a soft saber chant.
It was a thirst for blood, a craving for more life essence; with enough, the saber would continue to evolve!
The people around grew even more terrified and backed away. The saber now urgently needed a Blood Sacrifice, particularly the souls and bloodlines of Martial Arts Experts and masters of Immortal Techniques. If Meng Yu allowed himself to slaughter unhindered, the saber would continue to evolve, and tonight Meng Yu could, with one sweep of the saber in resonance with the Martial Arts Expert, achieve the Golden Pill of Achievement...
Meng Yu's hand trembled.
The blood-colored long saber let out a reluctant wail before shattering and dissolving into the air, leaving only a wisp of red blood light floating there.
It was like a drop of blood, dazzlingly crystalline.
He, he actually destroyed a prime Divine Weapon embryo, right as the blade had just broken through the Third Grade!
The red blood light swirled around Meng Yu, containing boundless energy within it.
"The true essence of martial arts!"
Some voiced their amazement, while others looked on with fervent eyes.
A Divine Weapon that has been through countless battles might gain a semblance of a spirit. Those who possess it afterward could gain some understanding of the wielder's prowess to a certain extent.
There are Martial Arts Experts who, after decades of quiet cultivation, condense their entire life's gains into a seed to pass on to their juniors.
But who has ever heard of such an exaggeration, a Broken Blade that Meng Yu had just picked up, yet with one slash, it displayed such abnormalities!
This...this... it's said that even Golden Core Masters oftentimes spend decades before they can leave such a legacy!
He, what will he do with this essence of martial arts?
The four people behind Yu Xuetong hastened their breathing, thinking that if they could obtain that saber, they would...
"Amitabha."
While numerous people looked on with envy and astonishment at the blood-red spot, Meng Yu did not reach out to take it. Instead, he brought his hands together and chanted the mantra that the Three Evils Monk had uttered earlier.
Smiling as if he was picking flowers, seeing the Buddha amidst blossoms, embracing the true essence of martial arts with a heart clear as crystal.
Thank you for the grace bestowed by the Blood God's Heavenly Dao, and for its recognition of me. The resonance with the Heavenly Dao, the heartfelt sensation allowed me to unleash such a dazzling slash. Yet, I merely give thanks, for I am still pondering over this path.
A faint flame rose, and the blood-red essence of martial arts turned into a white light, disappearing without a trace into the unseen void.
Many people issued sounds of surprise and regret, but two observing Golden Core Masters involuntarily clenched their fists!
The slash from just moments ago was shockingly thrilling, like a bolt of thunder from beyond the heavens, striking awe into their hearts.
However, what Meng Yu did next broadened their horizons even more.
Spirit, oversoul, salvation, karma—this universe is full of countless peculiarities and terrors. To physically redeem is one thing, but what about the tougher enemies?
The hardest thing is to let go.
"Assassination Sword."
Suddenly, the red-robed True Sage Xia Hailu laughed, looking at Yu Xuetong sitting before her.
Today, she'd been tricked by a youngster, Meng Yu—many people knew and even she had just expressed her irritation, criticizing Ouyang Zhenxue for associating with such a bastard.
The kid wasn't very skilled in martial arts; his sword strike might have looked like a win for Meng Yu, but such cunning was truly disgusting, lacking strength but posing with so-called wisdom.
But now... she was rendered speechless.
He came barehanded, snatched a saber with ease, and then delivered a strike!
The supreme Blood Transmutation Divine Saber!
Assassination Sword... Yes, Meng Yu always said he practiced swordsmanship, that he was most proficient in sword training!
The weapons he carried on his journey were also swords!
"That's right, True Sage Yu, it's your turn."
Xia Hailu gestured invitingly to Yu Xuetong.
"Hmph."
Yu Xuetong arrogantly turned his head aside; he was no fool.
This was the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, the most authentic kind, devoid of even the slightest demonic air, an upright and noble Blood Transmutation Divine Saber!
Yu Xuetong's heart began to throb; recalling Meng Yu's mention of the Assassination Sword, which he was proficient in!
If he were to use the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber for assassination and sneak attacks... Yesterday, he truly needed to thank Meng Yu for sparing his life!
