Where the blade light and Sword Qi passed through, everything tangible in the valley was shattered to dust.

Gu Yuan's Flying Sword moved with his heart, like a dragon, like lightning, changing endlessly. In contrast, Liu Xinjun's blade light was overwhelmingly fierce, filled with a chilling aura of murderous intent.

"Good, good, good! Junior Brother Gu, excellent Swordsmanship!"

Liu Xinjun was initially puzzled and solemn, but then he laughed heartily, saying, "But next, I'll get serious!"

What?!

Many were shocked upon hearing this.

The formidable display of their duel was merely a warm-up. If they were to truly get serious, how terrifying would it be?

"Senior Brother, do your best."

Gu Yuan remained calm.

Liu Xinjun laughed loudly, the white blade light surged, chopping down violently.

Buzzing sounds resounded——

This strike was even more ferocious and domineering than before.

The blade light was unleashed as if the entire world froze!

A brutally fierce and evil aura emanated, covering hundreds of zhang in radius.

All the cultivators within this range felt their skin tighten, their entire body stung as if burnt by hot blades that cut bloody wounds, causing pain, heat, and a tingling itch.

They dared not directly gaze at this blade.

As for the lowly cultivated Niu Youde and Xia Xiuxue, they screamed, covered in tiny blade marks, drenched in blood.

It was Sha Luosheng who unleashed a Spiritual Light, shielding them and pulling them back hundreds of zhang, sparing them from disaster.

Otherwise, just the aftershock of the blade intent could easily tear them apart.

Even the aftershock was so powerful.

As for Gu Yuan, standing at the forefront, he felt the killing intent, hostility, Evil Qi, miasma, ferocity, Yin Qi, and ghostly aura in the world being entirely drawn by Liu Xinjun's strike, converging into an extremely malevolent blade light!

It came slashing down towards him!

As a disciple of a Great Immortal Sect, he definitely should not practice the methods of the Demon Dao.

If word got out, Medicine King Mountain would lose face, abolish his cultivation, erase his memory, and exile him to the back mountain to die.

However, this blade, though fierce and ominous, was not of the Demon Dao.

It utilized the Yin Qi, hostile Qi, Evil Qi, and ghostly aura to enhance the killing power of the Sword Skill, sharpening the blade intent without tainting oneself with any Yin Qi.

Though cruel, it could turn evil to right, a legitimate path of righteous killing!

Feeling the piercing killing intent, the surging Yin Qi from the heavens and earth, Gu Yuan's eyelids twitched, but he remained unmoved, sighing slightly in his heart.

He was intimately familiar with killing intent.

The "Life-taking Sword Formulas" he practiced overflowed with killing intent, fierce and ruthless, akin to a path of lethal Swordsmanship.

Though this Swordsmanship wasn't high-grade and somewhat extreme, merely a Supreme Martial Arts, not even true Daoist Technique, it originated from the Ancient Sword Immortal Dao Lineage, the Xuantian Sword Sect, and was one of its Basic Sword Techniques.

Previously, He Ling True Master had given Gu Yuan a stone slab from an elder surnamed Wu, containing a Sword Mark with a strand of Sword Intent left by a Xuantian Sword Sect expert.

This Sword Intent was chilling and lethal, directly inheriting the lineage of the "Life-taking Sword Formulas."

Gu Yuan had pondered over it several times before, gaining some insights.

Now, inspired by Liu Xinjun's blade intent, he was contemplating further insights into that strand of Sword Intent!

An inexplicable insight grew within him.

In Gu Yuan's eyes, Liu Xinjun's blade intent transformed into a fierce tiger roaring at the sky, holding a bloodied corpse, terrifically ferocious.

White Tiger with Corpse!

This blade bore an evil, monstrous aura, embodying a sense of cutting through everything!

Facing this blade, Gu Yuan did not use the "Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas" nor the unfinished "Void Moon Reflected Sword Formulas."

Instead, he took out the stone slab from his Storage Pouch, then wielded the "Life-taking Sword Formulas," shattering the slab with a strike, embedding that strand of Sword Intent into his sword.

In an instant, Gu Yuan's strike transformed!

The previously radiant Sword Light filled with killing intent withdrew its brilliance, becoming ordinary, with specks of dark rust appearing on its once-bright surface, making it mottled.

Dark red, dried bloodstains appeared as if countless beings had been slain under this sword.

Each bloodstain emanated an intense scent of blood!

Each rust mark exuded an immensely terrifying killing intent!

It was undoubtedly a sword for killing! An Evil Sword! A Ferocious Sword!

This sword strike dimmed the heavens!

Dimmed the sky, withered the grass and trees.

The arena seemed tainted by the killing intent, as a faint bloodlight spread, permeating the surroundings.

The chilling murderous aura gripped everyone's hearts, turning their faces pale as if drained of blood, dim and discolored.

Their minds blanked, and it seemed their very thoughts, emotions, and ideas were being eradicated.

This strike was filled with an utter annihilation of all life forces, as ruthless as Liu Xinjun's White Tiger with Corpse blade form!

Even surpassing it in power!

For this sword, Gu Yuan utilized and fused the Sword Intent of a senior expert!

Now, Gu Yuan comprehended the essence of this sword, even the scripture titled "Chaotic Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Scripture" deliberately hidden within it, a Sword Skill Daoist Scripture succeeding the "Life-taking Sword Formulas," not inferior to the "Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas."

Given time, as Gu Yuan's cultivation deepened, he might fully master the entire Sword Scripture!

He Ling True Master's figure appeared not far away, watching quietly.

The duel between the two had indeed alarmed him.

Yet he did not intervene but observed silently.

His gaze toward Gu Yuan was full of admiration and delight.

Gu Yuan's performance pleased him greatly!

Not only did he break through to the Celestial Human Realm, but he also mastered such powerful Sword Skill Divine Techniques. This not only bolstered his reputation but proved his judgment correct.

With such a disciple, what more could he ask for?!

Rumbling sounds!

The magnificent, grand blade light and Sword Light clashed, the surging Yin Qi swiftly torn apart, obliterated by the Sword Light.

Though both strikes were laden with killing intent, they had both similarities and distinct differences.

The "Seven Kills White Tiger Saber" intended to cut through everything, ferociously unrivaled, whereas the "Chaotic Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Scripture" annihilated all things, both tangible and intangible!

Clang!!!

As they collided, the resounding clang echoed across the floating Dragon Boat, with the very space seeming to ripple.
