Chapter 56: Pillar-Crushing Thrust 1 day ago

Liu Wei executed the Crimson Fang Sword.

It was fast and brutal, after all.

He performed twin thrusts successively, instantly breaking Liao Dong’s defensive technique, and ended it with a horizontal slash.

He did not hold back his blood qi consumption at all, summoning all of his blood qi on the horizontal slash.

As a result, his horizontal slash was enhanced by blood qi to the point it manifested an image of a predator, seemingly attempting to claw Liao Dong.

Liao Dong was shocked, but since he had already gotten used to Liu Wei’s Sword Intent and killing intent, as well as his most unexpected show of other trump cards, he was able to react...

Barely.

He tilted his head backward, avoiding the horizontal slash from blinding him, but still ended up having his forehead being ripped apart.

It was excruciating but he managed to swallow it and backed away from Liu Wei.

Liu Wei, who felt his stamina and blood qi slipped away after using all of his strength in their clash, suddenly felt invigorated from the effects of the pills.

He smiled.

However, just in time the other three guards all attacked at once.

He grinned.

Of course, now that his Blood Dantian was completely full, he executed another technique, consuming all Blood Qi at once again.

In fact, his battle style definitely put a strain on his qi circulation.

However, Liu Wei’s mastery on the Blood Demonheart Sutra was already at the peak, minimizing the consequence of his action.

Liu Wei spun his sword around, engulfing the guards, including the Captain, in a swirling form of crimson blades, slicing from all directions.

At this point, with his superb mastery of martial arts with his otherworldly comprehension ability, coupled with the consumption of Blood Qi all at once, he was able to summon the peak form of the Scarlet Vortex Sword art similar to the Crimson Fang Sword.

The vortex became a blood hurricane capable of grinding everything on his surroundings into pulp.

Thankfully, they were battling in an open area, a bit away from the bookshelves.

Nevertheless, they remained unharmed, despite some qi attacking them.

The tables and chairs flew away, but they were unbroken.

Completely intact.

It was all thanks to the System.

After Liu Wei successfully executed the Scarlet Vortex Sword Art, all the guards managed to parry the concentrated blood qi, but some managed to wound them.

They landed on the ground and rolled for some time before halting.

They stared at Liu Wei with a solemn expression.

Liao Dong, who was pushed away, maintained his balance with his heavy weight throughout, leaving a deep trail on the floor.

He frowned and took out an ointment, rubbing them on his forehead.

He mumbled, "What a monster."

"You didn’t think I’d allow you to heal, did you?"

Liu Wei suddenly appeared in front of him, and now was about to consume the qi of the third Vitality Recovery Pill that had nourished him.

The Vein-Rupturing Strike.

Sword Qi began to wrap on his sword, enhanced with Sword Intent.

The Blood Qi guided the Sword Qi to perform the technique, helping it to target the Captain’s veins and meridians.

Liao Dong’s hair stood on ends.

Liu Wei’s attack was fatally dangerous.

However, he simply snorted and did not hold back anymore.

He activated all his primary meridians at once.

Earth Qi suddenly exploded from him, enhancing every part of his body.

It was the first time he had been forced to activated all his meridians at once against an opponent in the Qi Condensation Stage.

It was on the early minor level at that.

He was enraged.

His pride as a martial artist was tainted.

At his current state, it would not last for a minute, but he knew it was enough.

Liu Wei, who suddenly felt the extreme earth qi emanating from him, was taken aback.

His sword technique was now disabled.

After all, it was unable to find the veins and meridians, understanding it would not be able to pierce through the immense earth qi, defending the opponent.

Liu Wei, as it had been a while, felt death was imminent.

Nevertheless, he grasped the hilt of the sword and changed the sword technique mid-way.

Liu Wei executed the strongest offensive sword technique at the moment.

The Blood Demon Eclipse Slash.

He also consumed his vitality to increase its destructive prowess.

It was definitely a bit stronger than the Blood Demon Eclipse Slash that ended the Blazing Python’s life.

He slashed it towards Liao Dong, who responded with his strongest sword technique.

It was the Rolling Boulder Strike.

He swung his big sword, seemingly carrying a momentum like a descending boulder.

Even if Liu Wei tried to evade it, the impact it carried once it collided to the floor would be enough to knock him out of balance.

Once both of their swords collided, the Inferno Dragon Fang roared with its fire qi, attempting to swallow the earth qi.

However, it was unsuccessful, due to the quality and quantity of the earth qi produced by Liao Dong’s sword technique.

The Inferno Dragon Fang was able to handle the weight of the opponent’s sword, as the latter was unable to, actually spreading fissures all over its body.

However, when it came to their owner, Liu Wei was completely defeated.

Not only the earth qi swallowed his blood qi, when it came to physical battle alone, he failed to overwhelm the opponent.

In fact, it was already surprising he had not fallen to the floor instantly.

It showed how strong his foundation was in the Body Tempering Stage.

However, against earth cultivators, Liu Wei was overwhelmed in the battle of strength.

Liu Wei felt the bones on his arms crack, almost losing his grasp on the sword.

The earth qi, filled with sword qi, wound him all over.

As Liu Wei felt his mind turn blank, he immediately tried to regain his consciousness, but he suddenly felt the sudden disappearance of the heavy weight of his opponent’s sword.

He moved his blurry vision upward, as it had been dampened by his blood, and was stunned to see Liao Dong aimed the point of the sword at his chest.

He wanted to react, but he was unable to move his body.

He felt numb all over.

Inevitably, Liao Dong performed his sword technique.

Pillar-Crushing Thrust.

The sword and his arm seemed to have disappeared, until it pierced right through Liu Wei’s heart.
