This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Seeing Lu Qingshan spitting out blood, Qing Ge finally showed a satisfied smile as if he had avenged a great hatred.

In the cultivation system of the Human Race, powerful Nascent Soul Cultivators can easily challenge Void Refining Cultivators of higher realms.

When Lu Qingshan was in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he had already been capable of fighting against Void Refining Late Stage Cultivators.

However, the situation where a Void Refining Cultivator reverses the situation against a Divine Transformation Cultivator is rarely seen, even if the Divine Transformation Cultivator is at the Initial Stage.

This is because once a Cultivator advances from Void Refining to Divinity Transformation, they undergo a qualitative transformation.

It is this transformation that makes it almost impossible for Divine Transformation Cultivators to be defeated by Void Refining Cultivators.

Although the cultivation systems of the Demon Race and the Human Race are completely different, there is not much difference in the strength of each realm.

Therefore, a Sixth Grade member of the Demon Race, just like a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, should possess combat power that can crush a Void Refining Cultivator.

And he, as a Low-Ranking Demon General far stronger than ordinary Sixth Grade Demonic Cultivators, confronting Void Refining Cultivators, could truly say that in normal circumstances, he was supposed to instantly kill them.

But who could have imagined that he, when facing Fifth Realm's Lu Qingshan, ended up narrowly escaping death?

If he hadn't mastered the highest secret technique "Bing" of his tribe, which, with the boost of the "Bing" secret technique, bestowed upon him the combat power of a higher-ranking Demon General, today he would have met his end right here!

Physical injuries aside, it was the humiliation in his heart that truly lingered, unable to be dispelled.

Moreover, Qing Ge realized with horror that as the offspring of the Ao Ren Demon Venerable, always regarding himself highly, he had uncontrollably developed a feeling of jealousy towards Lu Qingshan in his heart.

This made him feel ashamed.

This kind of shame wasn't something he could simply eliminate by killing Lu Qingshan.

He had to make him suffer, make him regret!

For a Sword Cultivator, what method could be more cruel than destroying his Life-bound Sword right in front of his eyes?

Seeing Lu Qingshan's ferocious expression, Qing Ge, having successfully executed his scheme, felt an indescribable twisted pleasure.

This feels good!

...…

Although Lu Qingshan was anxious, he had not lost his senses.

His thoughts raced, searching for a breakthrough in the current situation, "Under these circumstances, the moment I use my Sword Artifact, it will be taken away, unless I can employ a technique that doesn't need a Sword Artifact..."

But, Sword Cultivators have nearly all of their skills invested in their swords; not using a sword would be like a practitioner of the Iron Sand Palm crippling their own hands, wouldn't it?

"I have no choice but to try..." thought Lu Qingshan, and the next moment, thousands of Sword Qi Filaments emerged from his body.

Myriad Swords Art!

This technique was one of Lu Qingshan's few area-of-effect methods.

However, the Sword Qi of the Myriad Swords Art doesn't rely on a Sword Artifact but is condensed out of thin air and is much weaker in power compared to other techniques.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan had rarely used this technique up to this point.

The Myriad Swords Art only had a place in certain special situations.

Now was such a special situation.

With three Life-bound Swords out of his control, the Myriad Swords Art became his only offensive technique at hand.

Each of the Sword Qi Filaments contained an incredibly exquisite sharpness.

And the once slender filaments had, as if on drugs, grown thicker.

This was because each of the Sword Qi Filaments had been boosted by both the Destruction True Intent and True Annihilation Intent.

To embolden thousands of Sword Qi Filaments with Primordial Intent was a horrendously draining task on spiritual energy.

Even though his Dao seed greatly reduced the spiritual energy consumption when using Intent, this one move still nearly exhausted the remaining Power of the Mountains and Seas in Lu Qingshan's body.

The thousands of Sword Qi Filaments, like numerous tiny Flying Swords, formed a torrential sword rain, showering down upon Qing Ge.

Qing Ge's expression tensed.

He had not expected that without his Life-bound Swords, Lu Qingshan would still be able to launch such a technique.

"This guy, it's like there's no end to him..." Qing Ge muttered to himself, his feelings of envy and hate towards Lu Qingshan intensifying further.

But on the surface, he showed no weakness, instead laughing mockingly, "Hahaha... you still have the strength to resist?"

After suffering so many setbacks, Qing Ge did not dare to be careless, and a powerful strength quickly surged from his body.

The Sword Qi Filaments were as fast as light and electricity, arriving in an instant, but they stopped in front of Qing Ge and did not fall further as if they had encountered some resistance.

Accompanied by a series of clanging sounds, the Sword Qi Filaments were ground into dust.

"Is that all?" Qing Ge was full of smug provocation, his eyes exuding a challenge.

Lu Qingshan's gaze focused on Qing Ge, muttering to himself inside, "Here it comes!"

Another Sword Qi burst in front of Qing Ge.

But unlike the previous Sword Qi Filaments that were shredded, this Sword Qi exploded and unexpectedly let out a piercing screech.

Amidst the Sword Light, a solitary horned, mystical Haechi suddenly appeared.

The Haechi ignored the invisible barrier and leaped the short span of space, ramming straight into Qing Ge's body.

—This Sword Qi was not a Sword Qi Filament condensed by Lu Qingshan but was shot out from his pupils.

This was Lu Qingshan's strongest technique left, the Pupil Skill: Haechi.

The Haechi in the Pupil Skill initially manifested as a Sword Qi, blending perfectly with the myriad Sword Qi Filaments in the sky, using their cover to prevent Qing Ge from noticing anything strange and leaving him completely unprepared, striking him instantaneously.

Under this Pupil Skill attack, Qing Ge felt an unbearable sharp pain in his head, as if a spike had been driven into his brain, endlessly stirring inside, as though a piece of his soul had been sliced away.
