“True Aperture Realm… Seventh Stage?”
Luo Mu was slightly stunned.
He truly didn’t expect that there would be a Demon Dao martial artist of such a realm outside the perimeter of the stronghold.
But soon, a knowing smile appeared on his face.
He didn’t go deep into the stronghold.
Instead, he encountered this person outside the perimeter.
In the Academy’s rewards, only killing Demon Dao martial artists at the True Aperture Realm would grant contribution points.
The stronger the True Aperture Realm Demon Dao, the higher the reward.
The newcomer scanned the entire alley.
It seemed that he didn’t expect so many people to be dead.
Then, his gaze fell upon Luo Mu.
Although he was only at the Second Stage, his aura of killing sent shivers down his spine.
“When did the disciples of the Chang Le Outer Palace have such strength?”
Mo Sha slowly spoke.
His eyes also gradually turned cold.
Due to some matters to handle, he briefly left the stronghold. He believed that his elder brother could handle those Academy disciples.
Moreover, there was an elder present.
But on his way back, he saw this scene.
“Kid, what’s your name?”
Mo Sha slightly raised the short sword in his hand, like a hunter examining his prey.
Swish!
However, what responded to him was a blade of light, white as snow.
It instantly illuminated the dark alley!
Mo Sha suddenly dodged.
A huge mark had already appeared on the spot where he stood.
His pupils shrank slightly. If he hadn’t dodged, he would have been cut in half!
“Good reflexes!”
A calm voice.
Mo Sha suddenly raised his head and met a pair of eyes that seemed devoid of emotion!
As well as a continuous flow of blade light!
It was like a galaxy pouring down!
Dense and vast!
Mo Sha’s scalp immediately went numb.
At this moment, he finally understood why this kid, despite being only at the Second Stage, could kill so many people!
This swordsmanship… wasn’t something ordinary people could possess!
Its power was at least at the mid-grade level!
It could already threaten True Aperture Realm martial artists at the Seventh or Eighth Stage!
“Swift!”
Mo Sha’s body swayed, as if he were a phantom.
He caused Luo Mu’s blade to cut through empty air!
But Luo Mu was like a shadow that wouldn’t leave, instantly following him, always maintaining a distance of mere inches from Mo Sha!
“This guy’s combat experience is also rich!”
Mo Sha felt like he had encountered a freak.
He wasn’t unfamiliar with killing Chang Le Academy disciples, but none of them, like the one before him, had ever brought him such intense pressure!
“This person’s strength is not something ordinary Demon Dao martial artists can possess!”
Luo Mu’s lips curled upwards, and bright light began to flicker in his eyes.
Since arriving at the stronghold.
No one had been able to withstand his single blade!
But this man had dodged consecutively, clearly demonstrating excellent movement techniques.
“Interesting!”
A fighting spirit ignited in Luo Mu’s heart.
Up until now, he had not encountered an opponent who could push him to his full potential. Hopefully, this man could do it!
“A head-on confrontation would have no chance of victory. I have to find an opportunity to sneak attack!”
Mo Sha held a short sword in each hand.
His gaze was malicious and ruthless.
He cultivated in the direction of movement techniques and stealth attacks, not for frontal combat.
Almost as soon as the thought appeared.
Mo Sha actually felt like he was merging with the darkness.
He disappeared from Luo Mu’s sight!
And the darkness around him also seemed to transform into lake water, surging towards Luo Mu to engulf him.
“Is this… the Shadow Demon Technique?”
Luo Mu raised an eyebrow.
He remembered that during his skill cultivation classes, the teacher had mentioned some of the classic Demon Dao techniques.
The Shadow Demon Technique was one of the major categories.
Cultivators of this Demon Technique were mostly proficient in assassination.
Whoosh!
Silent and invisible.
Mo Sha emerged from the darkness, appearing behind Luo Mu.
“Die!”
Mo Sha crossed his two short swords, slashing towards Luo Mu’s neck with incredible speed.
And Luo Mu didn’t react at all.
For a moment, he saw Luo Mu’s head rolling off his shoulders.
But the next second!
Clang!
Sparks flew!
The short sword hadn’t even touched his skin when it was blocked by a hard Qi!
Mo Sha froze for a moment, then his pupils contracted sharply, and his entire body shivered.
He couldn’t believe what he saw.
That was… True Qi!!!
A martial artist at the Second Stage, not only possessed that exaggerated swordsmanship, but also had such a terrifying physique!
True Qi!
It would only be possible to cultivate this after practicing a mid-grade Earth-rank body refinement technique!
And with True Qi, even if he used all his strength, he wouldn’t be able to inflict any harm.
“Monster…”
Mo Sha felt like his heart had sunk.
And it was precisely this opening that allowed Luo Mu to instantly grab his arm.
“It’s over!”
Mo Sha’s face turned instantly pale.
“Correct answer.”
Luo Mu turned around, looked at him, and smiled slightly.
Swish!
The blade light was like snow!
It directly sliced through Mo Sha’s waist.
Splash!
In an instant, hot, red blood and organs spilled onto the ground.
“You… you… will all die… here!”
Mo Sha coughed up blood.
His eyes were filled with resentment.
“You’re talking too much.”
Luo Mu directly chopped off his head and tied it to his waist.
“Fortunately, I cultivated the 《玄阳霸体功》.”
Luo Mu let out a sigh of relief.
The power of the 《无生刀经》 was indeed terrifying, but it was useless against such slippery opponents.
In the end, it still came down to the physique.
When the physique was strong enough, it wouldn’t fear anything.
He could make countless mistakes, but his opponent could only make one!
“Ding!”
“You used the 《无生刀经》 and experienced a battle. It triggered a critical hit and you received an eightyfold harvest!”
The prompt sounded.
A large amount of insights flooded his mind.
The amount of blade Qi in his body also began to gradually increase, surpassing sixty.
“Eightyfold, not bad!”
Luo Mu threw away the long sword in his hand, which was already covered in nicks, and casually picked up another one.
Maintaining this high multiple.
He was confident that he could reach the peak of the 《无生刀经》 today!
“It’s been so long and there’s still no smoke signal. Did something happen?”
Luo Mu looked towards the depths of the stronghold.
Logically, dealing with a True Aperture Realm Seventh Stage Demon Dao martial artist shouldn’t be difficult for Cheng Qing Man and the other two.
But there was still no movement.
In addition, a True Aperture Realm Seventh Stage appeared outside the perimeter.
This was beyond the limits of intelligence.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Luo Mu sheathed his blade.
