Eighty percent.
For a moment, the Demon Sect Elder thought he was hallucinating.
He had fallen under some kind of illusion.
But he rubbed his eyes.
He carefully sensed it.
It was undeniably real!
It truly was eighty percent of the sword intent!
But how was that possible?!
Even the Demon Sect's Xuan Dan Realm Hall Masters wouldn't possess such mastery!
And the one wielding this power was merely a True Aperture Realm fifth stage cultivator!
The Demon Sect Elder subconsciously took a step back. His former confidence vanished without a trace!
He was confident he could easily suppress Luo Mu's one-tenth sword intent.
But eighty percent? Absolutely impossible!
The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth!
He might even...die!
Not far away.
Luo Mu held the hilt of his blade in his right hand.
The two hundred strands of Unsheathing Blade Qi within him were all concealed within the sheath, suppressed to their limit.
The Unsheathing Form.
Currently, the strongest technique in the Unsheathing Blade Scripture.
Although his Unsheathing Blade Qi was still quite low, nowhere near the thousand, or even higher, limit, it had an eighty percent sword intent amplification.
Which made it terrifyingly powerful!
“Slash!”
His voice boomed like thunder, echoing through the forest.
Luo Mu drew his blade.
Words couldn't describe the kind of strike it was.
Like an endless river of blade qi, it surged out of the sheath, spanning across the void, cascading for thousands of miles, carrying an awe-inspiring momentum that swept across the wasteland and shook the heavens and earth.
It descended directly upon the Demon Sect Elder's head!
“This!”
The Demon Sect Elder's pupils constricted.
He never imagined that besides terrifying sword intent mastery, Luo Mu also possessed such terrifying swordsmanship!
This was not the power of a Xuan Rank middle-grade sword technique!
It was at least high-grade!
“Crimson Moon Radiance, Shine and Annihilate!”
With no time to think, the Demon Sect Elder unleashed a defensive move.
After all, he was a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator. He wasn't completely caught off guard. He could react, but he was stuck in the sword intent, like sinking in mud, unable to dodge.
He could only choose to take it head-on!
The crimson moon tattoo on his face lit up as well.
It was clear that the Demon Sect Elder's strength had increased slightly.
A red semi-circular dome also appeared around him, enveloping him.
Boom!
The blade light descended!
The dome trembled violently!
He blocked it?
A glimmer of joy flashed in the Demon Sect Elder's heart, but then his expression turned grave.
He saw that at the point of contact, countless cracks appeared, spreading like spiderwebs!
Crack!
In less than half a breath, the dome completely shattered!
The terrifying blade light descended right on top of him!
No!
The Demon Sect Elder roared in despair.
He had painstakingly cultivated to the Spirit Sea Realm. He even had the potential to reach the Xuan Dan Realm!
But now, he was going to be killed by a mere True Aperture Realm cultivator!
He was filled with so much resentment!!!
Boom!
The ground trembled violently, dust billowed, and sand and stones flew.
After the dust settled.
Only a massive, incredibly deep crack remained on the ground.
The Demon Sect Elder was within it.
He had been split in two, but even so, he hadn't died instantly.
The crimson moon tattoo on his face flickered.
A special and eerie power seemed to be surging within it.
This power attempted to pull the Demon Sect Elder's two halves back together.
But Unsheathing Blade Qi was forged from the death intent of deceased beings.
Besides possessing the might of any other blade technique.
It could also devour life force!
As a result, before the Demon Sect Elder's body could fully recombine.
His life force had already been exhausted.
Visibly, the Demon Sect Elder's resentful gaze completely lost its light.
“So, this is the Demon Path? Truly strange.”
Luo Mu stared at the Demon Sect Elder in the crack, slightly frowning.
He had been split in two.
Yet he was still alive.
If it wasn't for his Unsheathing Blade Qi that could devour life force, if he had given this man a little more time, he might have been able to stand again.
“It must be because of that tattoo, or the Crimson Moon Magic Art.”
Luo Mu pondered in his heart.
“The world is vast, full of wonders, and heroes are as numerous as the grains of sand, countless. I need to constantly maintain my vigilance and awe.”
“I must not be arrogant or complacent, otherwise, I could easily fall into a trap.”
This scene made Luo Mu's slightly wavering state of mind completely settle down.
Whew!
A thick plume of gray mist flew out of the Demon Sect Elder's corpse, merging into Luo Mu's body.
The death intent of a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator was extremely substantial, far surpassing that of a True Aperture Realm cultivator.
As a result, it directly boosted Luo Mu's Unsheathing Blade Qi by forty strands.
“Ding!”
“You used the Unsheathing Blade Scripture to kill a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator, triggering a critical hit, and obtaining a hundredfold harvest!”
A system prompt rang out in his mind.
Hundredfold?
Luo Mu was overjoyed.
It was equivalent to killing a hundred Spirit Sea Realm cultivators!
Couldn't he directly reach perfection then?
No, he would reach the limit!
Boom!
In an instant.
The death intent within him increased tremendously, constantly transforming into Unsheathing Blade Qi, directly causing his Unsheathing Blade Qi to surge to a thousand!
However, upon reaching a thousand.
It stopped.
The death intent hadn't been completely transformed. In fact, there was a lot more left.
“It seems my body's capacity has reached its limit.”
Luo Mu raised his arm.
He saw that under his skin, blade light flickered from time to time. That was the dense Unsheathing Blade Qi!
Unsheathing Blade Qi was transformed within the body and nourished using blood essence.
Therefore, the cultivator's physique had to be strong!
“It seems I need to hurry up and cultivate the Xuan Yang Overbearing Physique Art to perfection. Only then can I withstand more Unsheathing Blade Qi. At that time, I will have a full three thousand strands of Unsheathing Blade Qi!”
Luo Mu's eyes glowed with excitement.
He now had enough death intent, all that was missing was physical strength.
Thinking about it.
Luo Mu crouched down.
He chopped off the Demon Sect Elder's head and found a storage ring. He didn't open it to check for now.
He would sort through it later when he went back.
Luo Mu didn't spare the other two heads either.
When he struck, he precisely avoided the heads, so he wouldn't hack them into unrecognizable pieces.
