This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 324: Chapter 28 Unity Realm (Part 1)

“This person is quite cunning,” he knew his own strength was limited, so he purposely dragged it out and slowly made his way through the tower.

Dragging it out until now, when only seventy or eighty people are left, everyone can’t help but notice him.

With such petty tricks, the attention he can attract is something those cultivators who were eliminated early on, despite ranking higher than him, can’t compare to.”

Some cultivators who had already been eliminated noticed this situation and couldn’t help feeling sour as they sarcastically said, “But what can these little tricks amount to in the face of true strength…”

However, in the next moment, their remarks were abruptly cut off as the real-time battle screen displayed the current situation.

….

Spiritual Light enveloped Lu Qingshan.

Looking around, the twenty-third floor was a scene of carnage, with the ferocious and insane illusionary demon beasts turned into dismembered carcasses strewn across the ground, blood flowing and creating an exceptionally gruesome sight.

Lu Qingshan stood among the corpses of the demon beasts, his body unstained with blood, but the overwhelming slaughter intent leaking from him, as well as his blood-red eyes, were more terrifying than if he were soaked in blood.

After the scenery changed, Lu Qingshan had already appeared in the Illusion Space of the twenty-fourth floor.

This was a boundless wilderness, across which roamed over a hundred colossal yellow-brown Great Demons—Flowery Leopards.

The hundred-plus Leopard Demons before him each measured five or six meters in length, with small heads and long tails, their gaping maws chilling to the bone, each tooth’s biting force looking astonishingly powerful.

The tails of the Leopard Demons were almost as long as their bodies, their paws grayish-white; the front ones with five toes, the back with four, all shining with a cold light that sent shivers down the spine, their triangular eyes filled with a cold and bloodthirsty gleam.

But within Lu Qingshan’s eyes was a slaughter intent even chillier than theirs.

Assessing his own condition, he murmured, “It seems I’ve reached a critical point?”

Indeed, along the way he had intentionally accumulated a sense of killing intent, and the number of Third Grade demon beast illusions he had killed had actually reached over a thousand.

Such extensive slaughter had resulted in a near-physical presence of murderous aura surrounding him.

If someone were to come within five meters of him, they would feel a chilling terror from the formidable deathly aura.

With such accumulation, he felt that he was just one layer shy of piercing through to elevate his Slaughter Sword Intent to the Unity Realm.

The feeling was mysterious, as though it could be touched at any moment, but was always just a bit out of reach.

Lu Qingshan’s blood-red eyes casually swept over the Flowery Leopard Demons outside the protective barrier and suddenly made a very insane decision.

He did not replenish his Spiritual Power but left the protection of the barrier just like that.

Boom!

The hundred-plus Flowery Leopards turned their massive heads to look at the tiny human that had appeared before them, making a hissing sound.

Under the control of the Formation’s command, the gigantic Flowery Leopard Demons did not hesitate and transformed into Radiance, pouncing towards Lu Qingshan to kill.

….

“What is he doing? He dragged his feet at first, but now he is so rushed that he is not even recovering the consumed Spiritual Power before killing his way out. Is he overly confident, or just showing off?” Outside the Seal Spirit Tower, due to Lu Qingshan’s decision, there was an instant uproar.

Even Lin Kui, who had been watching Lu Qingshan all along, couldn’t help but frown.

He could no longer fathom Lu Qingshan’s thoughts.

……

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Leaping into midair, Lu Qingshan immediately released the 370 Sword Qi Filaments which he had long mastered control over.

Forming showers of Flying Swords from the Sword Qi Filaments, they split into multiple waves, some slow, some fast, some solid, some feint, sweeping towards the group of Leopard Demons.

Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

The relentless attacks of the Flying Sword shower saw the foremost Leopard Demons using their paws to sweep aside the first two waves, with the third wave being scattered by their slender tails shimmering with a metallic light.

Hisss!

But they could no longer fend off the fourth wave of the Flying Sword shower.

The delicate Sword Qi filaments, swift as lightning and brutally ferocious, pierced through its skin and entered its flesh, abruptly exploding inside its internal organs.

Instantly, six Third Grade Initial Stage Leopard Demons were slain on the spot by Lu Qingshan’s Myriad Swords Art!

Lu Qingshan’s eyes shimmered with a chilling light as he, holding the Peach Blossom Sword, charged into the pack of Leopard Demons, unleashing a terrifying slaughter.

He cast the extremely Spiritual Power-consuming but highly protective Metal Element Sword Armor, safeguarding his own safety.

Clang clang clang!

The attacks of the Leopard Demons clashed against the Sword Armor, emitting the sound of metal colliding.

“Running out of Spiritual Power!” After charging back and forth repeatedly, looking at the number of Leopard Demons only reduced by half, Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but frown slightly.

In the twenty-third layer of space, he had already exhausted forty percent of his Spiritual Power, and upon reaching the twenty-fourth layer, he had not been able to recover at all before once again plunging into battle.

The reason was quite simple.

Strike while the iron is hot.

With his Slaughter Sword Intent on the verge of a breakthrough, if he were to stop and recover Spiritual Power, after a day, although his Spiritual Power would have been restored, the sense of premonition he felt might have largely faded.

So, he could only seize the moment while this premonition still lingered in his mind and resolutely head out to kill.

As a consequence, the already diminished sixty percent of his Spiritual Power had, in this short period, dwindled to less than thirty percent, particularly since he still had to use the Sword Armor, which was extremely draining on his Spiritual Power.

“No, even though I’ve entered the top ten thousand rankings and would accept being eliminated now, the chance for a breakthrough and enhancement of my Slaughter Sword Intent is too precious to miss. If I let this opportunity pass, who knows how long it will be until I find another,” Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth as determination filled his heart. “The Seven Domains Conclave is just around the corner, and any opportunity to increase my strength should not be missed!”

The next instant, Lu Qingshan made an extremely crazy decision.

He abruptly stored away the highly Spiritual Power-consuming Protective Sword Armor.

“Kill!”

With a soft shout in his heart, Lu Qingshan’s face, now somewhat pale due to the insane consumption of Spiritual Power, had eyes blood-red and intimidating.

His speed surged wildly, as he and the dozen Leopard Demons crisscrossed and slaughtered repeatedly, with the powerful Primordial Spirit of the Mid Solidifying Form stage sharpening his senses of his surroundings.

Lu Qingshan was so familiar with the changes in Sword Technique strength and direction that it became instinctual; he kept swinging his sword, fending off the assault of the Leopard Demon illusions.

The Leopard Demon’s attacks were dense and unpredictable.

Sometimes more than ten Leopard Demons attacked simultaneously, and sometimes only three or five, with trajectories so erratic that Lu Qingshan struggled to respond.

Shi!

In a turn he couldn’t manage in time, a Leopard Demon’s claw left a long gash on his left arm, and blood gushed out immediately.

Lu Qingshan clenched his teeth, disregarding the wound on his arm and continuing to face the enemy with cautiousness, without uttering a word.

If only he could precisely predict the movements of these Leopard Demons, it would make things much easier for him.

Subconsciously, this thought emerged in Lu Qingshan’s mind.

In this mad and extremely dangerous situation, his mind was still incredibly calm.

As Lu Qingshan thought this, in the next instant, he seemed to sense something in the darkness, an auspicious sidestep that allowed him to narrowly evade an attack from a mid-stage Third Grade Leopard Demon.

It was risky, yet in the end, it was completely within his control.

What was this?!

He had just managed to discern some subtle cues in the actions of these Leopard Demons.

This remarkable sensation enthralled Lu Qingshan, and he eagerly sought to grasp and master it!

Here it comes again!

The next moment, as two Leopard Demons to his left pounced, that extremely familiar sensation emerged anew.

Once again, he twisted agilely, dodging the Leopard Demon’s sharp claws as if he were a flower being whisked away by a breeze.
