“Could it be…that this guy has been hiding his true cultivation base? Did I get tricked?”
Zuo Lie was suddenly filled with doubt, but as he recalled his encounters with Han Yi along the way, Han Yi’s ignorance seemed genuine. Could it be true that this guy was really at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation?
An eighth level Qi Cultivator faster than those at the Qi Cultivation Peak?
That’s ridiculous, way too ridiculous.
But at this moment, they were in the middle of the battlefield, and Zuo Lie didn’t think too much about it. After all, there had been no losses on his end so far.
Dozens of meters away, a sword-wielding girl shot a sharp gaze at Zuo Lie, who felt his heart skip a beat and shifted his trajectory by another dozen meters.
Yujing Mountain’s Saintess, sixteen years old with legendary Qi Cultivation, was a Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator known by everyone in Qianzhou’s Cultivation World. She was undoubtedly one of the strongest cultivators in the future Cultivation World, at least reaching the Golden Core Stage or even the Nascent Soul Stage without any problem.
Most importantly, this female cultivator was a ruthless killer who wouldn’t bat an eye while taking lives.
If you got too close and received a slash from her, you could only grit your teeth and accept it.
On the other side.
Han Yi’s speed increased more and more, eventually catching up to some of the slower legendary cultivators.
Suddenly.
He made a sudden leap, dodging a fast moving “shadow” that resembled a Black Demon’s arm.
This Black Demon was four meters tall, with a terrifying physique, and its pitch-black skin emitted a gloomy light.
Roar!
In the Black Demon’s eyes, demonic nature was deeply rooted, and killing intent surged as it stared at Han Yi. Clearly, it had set its sights on him.
Han Yi took a deep breath.
According to the Demon Clan’s cultivation system, the taller the body, the stronger they were. He had fought and killed three-meter tall demons before, but had encountered a four-meter tall one only once. It was killed by a Sword Immortal with a single strike. This time, he faced a similar opponent.
It would serve as a test of his own strength. If he couldn’t kill this Black Demon, then there was no hope for him to compete against legendary cultivators in the core circle and obtain the Taixu Order.
“Kill!”
In a flash, Han Yi appeared behind the Black Demon. His fingers flicked rapidly, and ten rays of spirit light shot out and landed on the Black Demon’s back.
The Spirit Void Finger erupted.
At its peak, each ray of spirit light from the Spirit Void Finger was ten times stronger than when its Fire is Purely Green.
Although both were compressed from the same amount of spirit energy, the latter was compressed in a more complex and exquisite way.
Just like a nuclear bomb, the power produced by one kilogram of a nuclear bomb and one kilogram of soil was worlds apart. Han Yi’s Spirit Void Finger was crafted with great intricacy, resulting in an exponential increase in its power.
Bang!
The Black Demon stumbled forward, its back enveloped in flames. However, as the demon’s arm wiped the fire away, it also smeared black demonic blood on its hands.
This attack enraged the Black Demon, causing it to roar.
However, Han Yi saw clearly that the blood was only a superficial wound that hadn’t caused much damage to the demon.
As expected, the defensive power of a four-meter tall Black Demon was more than double that of a three-meter tall one.
Han Yi’s heart was chilled, but he also understood the Black Demon’s weakness.
“Kill!”
The Seven Stars Sword suddenly moved.
A flash of starlight, a soaring sword light, and suddenly, it appeared behind the staggering Black Demon, who had retreated several steps before turning back to glare at Han Yi angrily.
Next, the Seven Stars Sword increased its speed again, and a faint red halo formed around its body.
Departing Fire Sword Formula.
The speed of the Seven Stars Sword had surpassed the reaction time of a Peak Qi Cultivator, let alone the Black Demon, who might have terrifying defensive power but was even slower than a Peak Qi Cultivator’s reaction time.
Puff!
The Black Demon, who had raised his head to smash a fist towards Han Yi, suddenly stiffened. A streak of sword light pierced through his body, and without stopping, it almost instantly turned back and pierced through the same spot in the Black Demon’s chest again.
However, there was no sign of death or fear in the eyes of the pierced Black Demon. He just let out a ferocious laugh and threw another punch.
This punch was naturally incomparable to the one from the Cang Clan’s patriarch at the ancestral temple, but Han Yi still felt the gale rushing towards him, and his heart was on high alert.
Luckily, he was prepared, as he stacked Fire Shield Skill and Wind Wall Skill.
Bang, bang!
The Fire Shield Skill and Wind Wall Skill shattered one after another, which was beyond Han Yi’s expectation.
Before he could react, a pitch-black fist carrying a tremendous force slammed into Han Yi’s chest, sending him flying dozens of meters away and crashing into a stone house, splattering blood everywhere.
“Despite such severe injuries, his offense is still so strong?”
A ruthless look appeared on Han Yi’s blood-stained face, as he divided his spiritual sense.
The Seven Stars Sword, which had just emerged from the back of the Black Demon, suddenly trembled violently, and then soared diagonally into the sky before plummeting down at a sharp angle.
The Black Demon suddenly lifted his head and swung his fist upwards to send the obnoxious long sword flying. In the past, he had swatted away many such human clan’s magic tools.
However, this time, the Seven Stars Sword suddenly took a sharp turn and headed for Han Yi instead of falling straight down.
Enraged, the Black Demon’s gaze shifted downward and landed on another sword tool in Han Yi’s hand.
An inferior magic tool, the Cold Bamboo Sword.
During that split second, Han Yi had focused 70% of his divided spiritual sense on the second sword he had brought this time, the Cold Bamboo Sword.
Within a moment, the Cold Bamboo Sword pierced straight into the Black Demon’s eye, and despite his remarkable endurance, he couldn’t help but let out a furious roar.
Since the Cold Bamboo Sword was an inferior weapon and only had a basic level of refinement, this strike was not very powerful, and piercing through the eye was its limit.
Fortunately, Han Yi hadn’t planned to penetrate the Black Demon’s skull with this sword. Just as the sword pierced through the eye and its hilt had been grabbed by the demon’s arm…
A cold, stern flash crossed Han Yi’s face dozens of meters away.
“Explode!”
In an instant, the Cold Bamboo Sword that had pierced the Black Demon’s eye exploded. Though it was an inferior magic tool, the power of its self-destruction was not weak. Moreover, it exploded right in the Black Demon’s most vulnerable spot—his eye.
Boom!!
The Black Demon let out a painful scream.
Without delay, the returning Seven Stars Sword dragged a faint red Sword Light, piercing lightning-fast through the Black Demon’s exploded eye and embedding it diagonally into the ground, vibrating wildly.
The Black Demon’s body stiffened abruptly before toppling to the ground, with a massive hand still clutching the shattered fragments of the exploding Cold Bamboo Sword.
Han Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, walked slowly over, shook his fingers and retrieved the no-longer-vibrating Seven Stars Sword from the ground. Holding the sword, he noticed a slight crack appearing on it.
The sword that had just pierced the Black Demon’s chest and then penetrated his eye, turning his head into a pulp, had almost pushed this mid-grade sword tool to its limit.
And all this was achieved only by Han Yi using Spirit Void Finger and Cold Bamboo Sword to break through the demon’s defenses first.
It showed just how horrifying the demon’s body truly was..
