Chapter 151 Counterattack Against a Powerful Enemy
I'm currently reading Chapter 151, "Counterattack Against a Powerful Enemy," and I'm completely engrossed in it.
Seeing Qin Wu's expression, those at the Returning Origin Sword Realm all turned indifferent.
"Kid, today is your death day."
The moment he finished speaking, everyone rushed towards Qin Wu, knowing full well that Qin Wu was no pushover.
Although they looked down on Qin Wu, it was only because they were confident in their own status as Guiyuan Sword Realm cultivators and the large number of people who had come. Therefore, they were very clear that Qin Wu was indeed a genius, and such a genius was not easy to deal with.
Almost instantly, everyone had activated the power of the formation.
The leader, wielding a long sword, covered dozens of meters in an instant and appeared before Qin Wu. Even Qin Wu was taken aback by such speed.
Even a peak True Self Realm expert might not be able to withstand this strike. Fortunately, Qin Wu was quite strong, and he reacted the moment the opponent moved, instantly activating the Seven Steps Bloodstained Technique.
The moment the Seven Steps of Bloodstained Technique was activated, his aura surged dramatically.
The opponent had no idea that Qin Wu's aura would change at this moment. Qin Wu narrowly avoided the attack and looked at the opponent with a solemn expression.
The leader, who was standing still, was somewhat surprised to see Qin Wu dodge the attack and said:
"No wonder you were able to kill so many people in my Returning Origin Sword Realm and dodge my strike. It seems your strength is indeed quite good. Even among those in the True Self Realm, you can be considered a strong person."
He was absolutely confident in his strike. As a martial artist at the Returning Origin Sword Realm, he cultivated the saber, not the sword, which was extremely rare. Among the many martial artists who came this time, he was the only one who did so.
But he had his reasons for repairing the knife. The knife and sword in his hand were almost identical. In his view, the knife and sword had the same origin. Using the knife as a sword, the knife intent and sword moves he released were undoubtedly the strongest.
This limited his own development to some extent, but it also gave him a powerful burst of energy, which is why he became the leader of the team that was chasing Qin Wu.
After speaking, he once again drew his sword and strode towards Qin Wu. Since his previous sneak attack had failed, he had no intention of continuing.
Everything they had done before was to lull Qin Wu into a false sense of security, but now it seemed that what they had done hadn't been very effective. Qin Wu, watching their actions, smiled faintly.
This person's strength is indeed impressive; he can put some pressure on him. Thinking this, Qin Wu drew his sword and charged towards the man instead of retreating.
The moment he rushed forward, the other man also moved at the same time, raising his sword and charging forward. The two clashed, sword and blade locked together.
However, although the weapons were different, they were both using sword techniques. The leader of the Guiyuan Sword Realm changed his expression the moment he clashed with Qin Wu's sword. He felt immense pressure on his blade, as if it might shatter at any moment.
This situation immediately changed his expression, and his face became extremely ugly.
"How is this possible? The sword in your hand..."
He didn't continue speaking because he had already sensed the terrifying power of the sword in Qin Wu's hand. If they clashed a few more times, his knife might very well be shattered by that sword.
Even though his blade could barely hold on, it was only because he was using all his inner energy to protect it; otherwise, there wouldn't be any chance for the two to exchange blows. Thinking of this, he spoke solemnly:
"Everyone, be careful not to force a clash with his weapon. The sword in his hand is an absolute weapon of immense power; even the Seven Swords of my Returning Origin Sword Realm are probably no match for it."
As he said this, his face showed not only apprehension but also intense excitement. He knew all too well what a sword comparable to the Seven Swords of the Returning Origin Sword Realm meant.
The reason why the Guiyuan Sword Realm has seven sword masters is because of the existence of those seven divine swords. Those seven swords are of extremely high quality, can provide great assistance, and each has a corresponding sword technique.
Even though Qin Wu's sword had no sword techniques, its sharpness alone was enough to make him fantasize.
Although he has not yet entered the realm of true self, if he can obtain the sword in Qin Wu's hand, he is confident that his strength is no less than that of the Sword Master of Raging Waves.
Given his current level of cultivation, it won't be long before he's confident he can become the eighth Sword Master of the Returning Origin Sword Realm, which is an unparalleled honor and status.
Thinking of this, his confidence soared. The others naturally thought of this as well. Although they didn't believe the sword could be given to them, taking it back would certainly be of great benefit.
In an instant, everyone's eyes became incredibly fervent, and they looked at Qin Wu as if he were a giant meat bun.
Qin Wu noticed their expressions change, and simply smiled slightly.
"This sword is indeed quite good. Its name is Cold Moon, and I brought it out from Sword Qi Valley. It is very likely left behind by the master of Sword Qi Valley. If you want this sword, then come and try. But if you can't get this sword, then you'll leave your lives here."
The moment he finished speaking, Qin Wu launched an attack on them. These people were indeed quite strong and could put some pressure on him.
Under these circumstances, Qin Wu had no intention of holding back. He activated the Seven Steps of Bloodstained Technique again, as one step was no longer enough to contend with or even kill these people. Therefore, Qin Wu directly activated the third step of the Seven Steps of Bloodstained Technique, believing that this level was sufficient.
Indeed, these people were quite strong. Even the weakest among them had reached the True Self Realm, which would make them true elites in Tianwu Mountain.
Moreover, they were proficient in formations. Their internal formations allowed them to unleash even greater power when they worked together. For a time, even Qin Wu was hampered in his fight.
As the battle progressed, the smiles on the faces of those at the Returning Origin Sword Realm grew even wider, because in their view, the longer Qin Wu dragged on, the greater his power would be consumed.
They were attacking one person with a group of enemies, which, while tiring, was less so. Therefore, they believed they had likely gained a decisive advantage and would soon be able to kill Qin Wu here. The leader laughed wildly and said:
"Boy, if you hand over that sword now, I might consider leaving you a whole corpse."
His words were filled with smugness, as if the sword had long been his.
"Yeah?"
Qin Wu sneered, and at the same time, his aura began to change. He had been fighting these people for a while, and had gained some understanding of the refinement of his cultivation level. Now, the pressure these people could put on him was getting less and less.
As for the physical exertion mentioned by those people, it is indeed a big problem for others, but while Qin Wu's physical strength cannot be described as inexhaustible, it is definitely not something that can be exhausted in such a short time.
The moment he finished speaking, Qin Wu's sword changed direction, and the Killing Sword thrust directly at one of them. That man didn't seem too concerned about Qin Wu's sword strike, as they had already exchanged blows and he believed he had a sufficient understanding of Qin Wu's strength.
He thought that blocking the attack would not be difficult, but in the next instant, his expression changed drastically—the sword was already piercing straight into his heart.
This sudden turn of events startled everyone in the Guiyuan Sword Realm. They then realized that Qin Wu had actually held back.
"Are you kidding me?"
One of the men, both shocked and enraged, suddenly attacked Qin Wu. The man who had just died was his close friend, so he was determined to avenge him.
However, in his extreme rage, he had no time for rational thought, which ultimately led to his demise. Qin Wu simply stabbed him in the chest with a backhand stroke, and as the sword was withdrawn, a jet of blood spurted out. Then, without changing his expression, Qin Wu swung his sword again, severing his head.
After doing all this, Qin Wu did not immediately pursue, but instead looked at the leader of the Returning Origin Sword Realm again and said calmly:
"Do you still think you can kill me now?"
The leader of the Returning Origin Sword Realm looked extremely grim; he never expected Qin Wu's strength to change so drastically.
"Even if you're strong, so what? Facing so many of us, you're doomed today."
The leader of the Guiyuan Sword Realm spoke angrily, his heart bleeding. These were all elites of their Guiyuan Sword Realm who had died. Even though the Guiyuan Sword Realm was indeed very powerful, the True Self Realm was not something to be taken lightly anywhere, not even within their Guiyuan Sword Realm.
Especially now, with the main force of the Guiyuan Sword Realm having reached the front lines to fight against the demon race under the orders of the imperial court, it is already extremely rare for the Guiyuan Sword Realm to be able to spare so many people under such circumstances. If too many people were to die, it would be a devastating blow to the Guiyuan Sword Realm.
If Qin Wu were to escape now, it would be a catastrophe for them. After all, the two sides had already become mortal enemies. If they couldn't kill Qin Wu now, by the time they met again, Qin Wu's strength might have advanced even further, truly reaching the Realm of True Self.
Qin Wu, who has not yet entered the True Self Realm, already possesses the peak combat power of the True Self Realm. If he enters the True Self Realm, is it possible that he will possess the combat power of the True Martial Realm? Just thinking about this makes him feel cold. He even has a feeling that perhaps in the future, their Guiyuan Sword Realm will be destroyed by Qin Wu alone.
Qin Wu merely smiled coldly at his words, remaining silent as he drew his sword and charged forward. The Guiyuan Sword Realm martial artist, his target, barely had time to react before Qin Wu beheaded him with a single strike. Blood blossomed beneath Qin Wu's sword, each strike claiming a life.
Even though the leader of the Guiyuan Sword Realm attacked Qin Wu frantically in an attempt to stop him, it was to no avail.
This person was indeed extremely fast, but Qin Wu's speed was equally impressive. Previously, Qin Wu hadn't unleashed his full power; now, having done so, the strength he displayed was beyond the capabilities of these others.
In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, all of the dozen or so people present had perished at Qin Wu's hands. Only the leader of the Guiyuan Sword Realm lay heavily wounded on the ground, trembling with fear.
"Monster, you really are a monster!"
He screamed in terror, but Qin Wu paid no attention to his fear and simply asked:
"Tell me, how many people do you have left in the Guiyuan Sword Realm? Tell me that and I'll give you a quick death; otherwise, don't blame me."
Qin Wu's expression was ruthless. Since he had already formed a deadly enmity with Guiyuan Sword Realm and planned to cause trouble for Guiyuan Sword Realm, he naturally needed to find out the situation within Guiyuan Sword Realm. The person in front of him was an excellent breakthrough point.
The leader of the Returning Origin Sword Realm still wanted to put up a stubborn resistance, but after glancing at the corpses around him, he shuddered and then spoke in a trembling voice:
"Currently, within our Guiyuan Sword Realm, there are only two Sword Masters: one is the Raging Waves Sword Master, and the other is in seclusion. In addition, there are quite a few martial artists in the True Self Realm."
He then explained the situation in the Guiyuan Sword Realm in detail. Qin Wu was quite certain that there was some exaggeration in what he said, but he didn't care much; as long as he had a general understanding, that was enough. The two sword masters, who were inside the Guiyuan Sword Realm, breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this news, and then he asked:
"How strong is the Lord of the Raging Waves Sword?"
He never forgot that the Sword Master of Raging Waves was the one who had repeatedly opposed him and even tried to kill him.
"I'm not entirely sure. The Sword Master of Raging Waves had been in seclusion, trying to break through to the True Martial Realm. With so much time having passed, even if he hasn't reached the True Martial Realm yet, he's probably not far from it."
After all, all the other sword masters in the Guiyuan Sword Realm are True Martial Realm experts, and the reason why the Raging Wave Sword Master went into seclusion is because he has not yet entered the True Martial Realm, so he wants to break through by going into seclusion.
Now that he has emerged from seclusion, it means he has indeed made progress.
After hearing these words, Qin Wu narrowed his eyes.
If he were at the True Martial Realm, he might not be a match for him now.
The next second, he beheaded the man with a single sword strike, and then continued his journey toward the Returning Origin Sword Realm.
Although he is indeed no match for those in the True Martial Realm right now, he only needs to break through a little more to be enough. And right now, he is only half a step away from the True Self Realm.
