Chapter 58: I Only Unleash Three Slashes

Li Mu's laughter was full of recklessness, brimming with boundless, overwhelming battle fervor!

Good!

Well done!

Lin Zehong!

So this is your strongest sword?

Only your strongest sword could excite me this much!

Next!

You can be proud now!

Because you are the first enemy worthy of me using this move!

Accompanied by Li Mu's wild laughter, his entire aura suddenly shifted!

Staring at the terrifying Flame Sword rapidly approaching the heavens, Li Mu held the Revenge Blade level at his chest, his whole body surging with blood Qi!

Break Pot and Sink Ship!

Poof!

Accompanied by Li Mu's low growl!

Only then.

At the hilt of the Revenge Blade.

Suddenly, a keen blade protruded and pierced Li Mu's left palm!

The fresh blood inside Li Mu was continuously absorbed by that blade, causing the previously blackened edge to take on a streak of red!

As Li Mu's vital blood kept draining, the Revenge Blade grew ever more crimson, exuding a bizarre, evil aura.

It seemed that the sword now in Li Mu's hand was a ferociously wicked demonic blade!

Seven Kill Grand Form!

Slash!

Li Mu let out a dying-beast-like low growl!

As his whole body's vital blood burned wildly, the Seven Kill blade aura swirling around the Revenge Blade swelled rapidly, slashing toward the Flame Sword with the power of the Seven Absolutes!

Boom!

A slash was unleashed, striking hard against the towering Flame Sword!

A raging energy wave swept over, sending ripples through the descending Flame Sword, yet it still could not halt its fall!

The ten‑thousand‑ton force still pressed upon Li Mu like a mountain‑crushing tide.

Slash again!!!

Accompanied by Li Mu's another low growl!

At the hilt of the Revenge Blade, another keen edge thrust out, piercing Li Mu's palm and causing the previously restrained Qi to surge severalfold!

Hmph!

It's only a mayfly shaking a great tree!

Die for me!

Looking down at Li Mu, Lin Zehong's mouth curled into a disdainful smile.

At the same time, his hand gripping the Azure Cloud Sword was about to continue the downward slash.

When he tried to deliver the final blow to Li Mu!

But Lin Zehong's contemptuous grin froze instantly!

Because he realized the Flame Sword he held, midway down, had become stuck in mid‑air, unable to be cut further!

Li Mu somehow managed to hold it up!

Moreover, cracks began to appear on the blade of the Azure Cloud Sword!

How could that be possible?

Just as Lin Zehong panicked, a hysterical roar suddenly erupted!

Break it!!!

Li Mu's eyes were feral, his expression insane!

On the hilt of the Revenge Blade, another keen edge pierced his palm!

At this moment, Li Mu's whole body resembled a demon king, blood‑raging, and with an even more ferocious stance, he slashed out!

A black blade aura howled from the sword, forming a black crescent!

Accompanying Li Mu's slash, the heavy blow struck the Flame Sword.

Clack clack…

The unbearable, piercing roar, mixed with wildly violent waves, suddenly swept across the sky!

That black crescent instantly shattered the Azure Cloud Sword in Lin Zehong's hand!

And under countless gazes!

The black crescent's force remained undiminished, cleaving more than half of Lin Zehong's body together with the crimson great cauldron he conjured behind him into two halves.

When the terrifying black crescent blade aura flew to the heavens and dissipated completely.

The vast battlefield fell silent as if a heavy snow had descended.

Everyone stood stunned, eyes fixed on the blood‑clad youth slowly descending from mid‑air!

Then…

Lost?

Lin Zehong actually lost!

On the battlefield, someone only now came to their senses and asked in disbelief.

But his question received no answer.

Because everyone already knew the answer to that question!

Lin Zehong had more than half his body cut off by Li Mu; the outcome of the battle was now unmistakably clear.

Lost!

Three Slashes!

Altogether, there were three Slashes in total!

Third on the Storm Ranking!

The once‑in‑a‑century prodigy of the Ziyang Sect suffered a total defeat at Li Mu's hands!

And moreover…

And this was achieved even though Lin Zehong had taken a Violent Blood Pill!

If he hadn't taken any medicine.

Lin Zehong would have been defeated even faster, perhaps not even lasting until Li Mu's three recent Slashes!

Everyone stared at the blood‑clad youth below, feeling as if their spirits were dreaming.

They couldn't understand at all how Lin Zehong lost in that clash.

The figure they once regarded as a spiritual leader, under Li Mu's hand, was so casually…

slashed?

At this moment, Yao Mengzhen and Qiu Ning Shui, the two women, said nothing, only exchanging a glance.

Both saw in each other's eyes an unprecedented excitement and agitation, as well as an inextinguishable shock.

They could hardly imagine how powerful Li Mu's combat strength had become!

Under the stunned, horrified, astonished, and even fearful gazes of everyone, Li Mu lifted the Vengeance Blade and walked slowly toward Lin Zehong.

Obviously!

Li Mu has no intention of stopping here!

"Li…"

"Li Mu!"

With half his body cut off, Lin Zehong watched Li Mu step closer, struggling to stand, but with only one leg he could not.

He could only lift his head and, with effort, ask.

"Tell me!"

"How did I lose!"

"You are only a Refining Qi Realm cultivator."

"How could you possibly resist my divine technique, comparable to the sword Qi of a fully realized Concentration Realm!"

"Break Pot and Sink Ship!"

Li Mu spoke in a voice that only two could hear, coldly.

Immediately.

In front of Lin Zehong, he raised the hand gripping the Vengeance Blade.

But saw.

On the hilt, three blades had already thrust out, almost piercing Li Mu's entire left palm!

The blades that missed the back of his hand were already stained red with blood!

"This is the special effect of the spirit weapon in my hand!"

"In the Break Pot and Sink Ship state, each of my subsequent Slash attacks deals double the previous damage!"

"That means!"

"My final Slash can unleash a terrifying strike with damage fifty‑six times my own!"

"And you!"

"You are the first to die from this move!"

"Fifty‑six times?"

"Hehehe…"

Hearing Li Mu's slow narration, Lin Zehong let out a wretched laugh.

"The technique that lets you unleash such terrifying power must require a huge price, right?"

"Exactly!"

Li Mu nodded gravely, "It will cause death!"

"Hahahahaha…"

Suddenly, Lin Zehong, as if a flash of light returned, let out a harsh, hoarse, insane laugh from his throat.

"I knew it, such a powerful technique's price must be terrifying!"

"But I didn't expect it would cause death!"

"Still, that's fine!"

"Now that you're dead, it resolves everything!"

"If you don't die now."

"When you reach the Inner Peak, my elder brother will ensure you die without burial…"

"Bang!"

Lin Zehong, whose head exploded, could say nothing more.

At the same time.

He could no longer hear the final sentence that Li Mu uttered.

"What a shame, you are the price…"

"Hoo…"

Gazing at Lin Zehong's headless corpse before him, Li Mu let out a long breath.

Then he crouched down, skillfully rummaging through Lin Zehong's corpse, and quickly stripped away everything of value from his body!

The only thing a little regrettable is that.

The most valuable thing on Lin Zehong's body, the Azure Cloud Sword, was completely shattered by him in the recent duel.

Otherwise.

Even if I didn't need that sword, I could have taken it straight to the auction house afterward, which would have been a considerable fortune!

And this kind of regret lasts only a moment.

Soon, the crisp, pleasant system notification sound rang again.

Ding!

System detected that the host, fighting out of his league, successfully slashed a half‑step third‑grade Concentration Realm cultivator, triggering Hundredfold Heavenly Dao Blessing!

Congratulations, host, you have obtained Hundredfold Gain!

Congratulations, host, your cultivation has successfully broken through to Ten Grade Lian Qi Realm Peak!

Congratulations, host, Landmine Dao Technique has successfully upgraded to lv: 8!

Congratulations, host, Samadhi True Fire has successfully upgraded to lv: 11!

"……"

Seeing his Samadhi True Fire rise another two levels, Li Mu's eyes brightened!

Adhering to the principle of the disc action, Li Mu once again summoned Samadhi True Fire and patted it onto Lin Zehong's body.

But it's still the same as before…

Although this time, the Samadhi True Fire Li Mu summoned was clearly far more vigorous and robust than the flames he had summoned previously.

But for Lin Zehong it could still only cause a scorching effect, and could not, as before, directly burn into golden smoke strands for him to absorb, becoming part of his cultivation.

However…

Li Mu thought it over and found this situation quite reasonable.

If his Samadhi True Fire wishes to refine anyone, it can refine anyone, with no cultivation or realm restrictions.

With this 'Heaven‑chosen cheat', why bother cultivating to become an immortal?

Just a Luoyang shovel in the left hand and a Dragon‑seeking ruler in the right, and I could tomb‑raid across the Qian Kun Realm, right?

Whenever I unearth a senior master's corpse, I can directly refine it with Samadhi True Fire!

I believe as long as I swing the shovel fast enough!

That would be a few months at the shortest, up to a year at the longest!

I could become a saint in the flesh, directly transcend and become a flying immortal, right.

Thinking of that.

Li Mu even found his own nonsensical idea amusing.

It seems.

Without elevating Samadhi True Fire to a certain level, it's still very hard to leap an entire realm to refine an enemy!

Looking at Lin Zehong's body, there's really no more profit to be squeezed.

Li Mu then rose, turned, and walked toward the direction where the Xuan Yue Feng disciples were.

Seeing Li Mu walking toward them, the Xuan Yue Feng disciples were all startled, involuntarily stepping back, their eyes toward Li Mu filled with terror.

"Xuan Yue Feng, do you still wish to… for your senior brothers Zhao and Qin?"

"And, just now…"

He paused, and a playful curve lifted at Li Mu's mouth.

"And to avenge your senior brother Lin just now?"

"I'll gladly accompany you at any time!"

Saying that, Li Mu's gaze swept over the Xuan Yue Feng disciples who had just been shouting at him to fight and kill, one by one!

"……"

The Xuan Yue Feng disciples, seeing Li Mu lift his gaze and sweep toward them, each stepped back a step as if stung by wasps.

Among them, the few Xuan Yue Feng disciples nearest to Li Mu hurriedly clasped their fists, their faces showing a mocking smile.

"Junior Brother Li, impressive skill!"

"It's getting late, we won't disturb you any further."

"We'll be leaving now…"

"Yes, yes!"

"Today we have witnessed Junior Brother Li's unparalleled elegance; we are already fully satisfied and have no further wishes…"

"……"

Revenge?

Just kidding!

When strengths are comparable, that's what you call…

If the strengths were vastly different…

That would be asking for death!

Li Mu even killed Lin Zehong, who had just taken the medicine, and the rest of that bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp still rushed forward to seek revenge?

Moreover, they have no kinship or any prior connection with Lin Zehong, Qin Zhixiang and the like.

Who would be foolish enough to offend such a ruthless person when the overall situation is already settled?

That's not some old immortal eating arsenic and getting sick of living…

At that thought, the Xuan Yue Feng disciples, one by one, said nothing and turned to run.

In a short while, all that could be seen from afar were their vague backs.
