Chapter 626: One Sword
In the void, the dense blood light seemed to illuminate the sky, more eerie and demonic than the corpse-tainted aura emanating from them.
Moreover, within this strange blood-fiend aura, there was an extremely terrifying Sword Will, as if it possessed a life of its own.
"Could this blood sword have been obtained from that cave dwelling?"
The crowd's pupils trembled slightly as they stared fixedly at the Blood Drinking Sword in Lin Feng's hand. Lin Feng hadn't had a blood sword on his back earlier, but in that brief moment, he had only entered the cave dwelling once. He himself had used a powerful sword aura to pierce through the cave dwelling, causing it to collapse and bury everything. After Lin Feng came out, this sword appeared in his hand. Had Lin Feng gone to that cave dwelling knowing there was a sword inside, deliberately seeking it out?
"After my Sword Dao Will grew stronger, I haven't truly tested it yet. You all will be my test subjects for the sword," Lin Feng said coldly.
A terrifying sword aura burst forth from his body. In just an instant, this sword intent transformed into a heaven-shaking aura, incredibly fearsome. Within the sword intent, there was also a powerful killing intent and a blood-red glow.
"Swish, swish..."
In the space, formless yet tangible swords howled. Lin Feng held the Blood Drinking Sword, raised his gaze, and slowly closed his eyes. Triple Sword Dao Will—just how powerful was it? Lin Feng wanted to find out.
"Screech, screech!"
Fierce, shrill sounds rolled forth as the sword roared. The yin-fiend aura near Lin Feng, though intangible, seemed to be pierced through by this terrifying sword aura, becoming chaotic and scattered, drifting with the wind.
"So strong, such terrifying sword intent. With his mere cultivation at the Fifth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm, how can he possess such powerful Sword Dao Will?"
The pupils of the crowd were all frozen. Generally speaking, for someone of Lin Feng's age, reaching the realm of Man and Sword as One was already extraordinary talent. Crossing into Sword Dao Will would be considered top-tier talent across the entire Snow Domain. But Lin Feng, releasing Sword Dao Will at the Fifth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm, made even those at the Seventh Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm tremble in their hearts.
They felt as if they were a single leaf in a hurricane—when the hurricane swept through, they would be completely torn apart and scattered by the wind.
"You want to die? I'll grant your wish." Lin Feng's sword slanted to the side. He gripped it with both hands, then moved it to the left.
"Boom..."
A terrifying blood light shot into the sky. The sword intent could no longer be contained. It burst forth, howling and stabbing toward the Heavenly Fiend Sect experts in the void. Just the sword intent and sword aura alone were enough to kill and take lives.
"Triple Sword Dao Will, kill!"
Lin Feng roared. The sword in his hands bloomed and spun. In the void, endless sword lights, accompanied by blood light, surged forward fiercely. The entire void was filled with a terrifying, eerie blood-red light.
This sword was no longer like a sword light, but more like a saber light. With Lin Feng at the center, a terrifying saber light formed an arc of blood light, flashing by in an instant, as fast as lightning.
"Screech..."
There was no terrifying sound of explosion, not even a dreadful sword howl. There was only a calm, tearing sound.
The Heavenly Fiend Sect members in the void, their bodies wavered. They lowered their heads, looking at their waists. There, a crack clearly appeared, causing their hearts to tremble wildly and violently. Fear, endless and boundless, threatened to plunge them into an abyss of despair.
Severed... were they about to die?
"Screech, screech!"
A terrifying blood light emerged. At the place where their bodies were cut, blood gushed out like a spring, suddenly surging forward—crimson red, eerily beautiful. That was their blood, yet now it flowed out like a fountain.
It didn't fall or splash downward. Instead, this blood light surged toward Lin Feng. Their blood was actually flowing toward Lin Feng.
Not just one person, but everyone—their blood flew toward Lin Feng.
"So strong."
Lin Feng was also stunned. Triple Sword Dao Will was indeed terrifying. One sword, annihilating everything. Among these Heavenly Fiend Sect members, the strongest had a cultivation at the Seventh Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. All of them had to die; not a single one could escape.
But what was going on with this overwhelming tide of blood-red blood rushing toward him?
Soon, Lin Feng understood what was happening. The blood light didn't drift into Lin Feng's body, but into the Blood Drinking Sword.
The sword body of the Blood Drinking Sword flashed with blood light and began to tremble wildly, as if it were a thirsty traveler, frantically devouring the fresh red blood. The sword was drinking blood.
"Blood Drinking Sword, Blood Drinking Sword..."
Lin Feng murmured to himself. He finally understood what the Blood Drinking Sword meant. The sword would drink blood.
"Ah..."
Endless cries of terror echoed in the dark space. The Heavenly Fiend Sect members were evil, and the techniques they cultivated were also evil. But the truly eerie and sinister scene was happening to them. They could no longer suppress that terrible fear and began to howl madly.
Death—and such a death. They devoured the flesh and essence of others, but now, that sword had cut through their bodies and was also devouring their blood. Yet, they were still alive because that sword strike was too fierce, too decisive.
"What's going on?"
In the distance, the pupils of many people froze. They looked toward the void in this direction. These miserable screams—what was happening?
And so many screams were happening at once—it was too shocking.
One coffin after another drifted and flew over frantically. Besides those coffins from the Heavenly Fiend Sect, the people cultivating in the Fallen Heaven Mountain Range were also awakened, rushing over to see what had happened.
On the peak of one of the eight main peaks, Blood Fiend, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, slightly opened his eyes. His sharp brow furrowed slightly. Where were these screams coming from?
Standing up, Blood Fiend's gaze looked toward the direction of the screams. Then, he took a step and directly flashed over there.
Lin Feng was still standing in the void. When the blood of all the Heavenly Fiend Sect members had completely entered the Blood Drinking Sword, the blood light within the sword seemed to illuminate the night, trembling incessantly. The sword, silent for too long, still seemed to crave more blood.
Even in Lin Feng's own pupils, a blood light appeared—an eerie blood light.
He and the sword were connected by blood, their minds resonating.
A powerful person could influence a sword, imbuing it with will and giving it life. But a powerful sword could also influence a person, it seemed.
Lin Feng said to himself. The Blood Drinking Sword had become stronger. It seemed that drinking blood was the sword's way of cultivating.
Looking at the figures falling toward the ground and the crowd constantly flashing around, Lin Feng took a step and left toward the distance. It seemed the commotion was too great.
Two pitch-black coffins rushed toward Lin Feng, emitting a rumbling sound. Lin Feng's cold eyes flashed. He swung his sword, and with a loud crash, the coffins shattered into pieces. The people inside the coffins were also killed with a single sword strike.
But this time, Lin Feng didn't stop. He didn't give the Blood Drinking Sword a chance to drink blood. His figure rolled away, quickly disappearing into the darkness. No one dared to stop him.
Not long after Lin Feng left, Blood Fiend's figure arrived at the place where he had killed. Looking at the ground full of Heavenly Fiend Sect corpses, his face stiffened, becoming extremely cold and ugly.
"Who did this?"
A furious roar rolled out from Blood Fiend's mouth, causing the hearts of the people who had gathered around to tremble. It was Blood Fiend, one of the eight strongest youths.
Those who had been killed were from the Heavenly Fiend Sect, people Blood Fiend had likely brought from the Black Feather Empire. Now, most of them had died here.
Below, a figure staggered over, his head lowered, his face full of panic.
He had originally been blocking the exit of the cave. When he heard the commotion and rushed over, the Heavenly Fiend Sect members had already surrounded Lin Feng. He thought he wouldn't need to intervene. But then he witnessed that shocking scene, and he still hadn't calmed down.
"You know?" Blood Fiend's gaze turned, landing on him, asking coldly.
"It's him. At the end of the first round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition, someone ambushed him, but he killed the ambusher instead."
The man spoke with a trembling body, causing Blood Fiend's gaze to freeze. A figure appeared in his mind. Of course, he had seen that scene.
"You, are dead."
Blood Fiend stared into the distance, his killing intent fully revealed. He had come with glory, determined to return to the Heavenly Fiend Sect with honor. But now, before the final battle of the Snow Domain Grand Competition had even begun, so many of the people he had brought were killed. How could he face his sect after returning?
That person must be killed. He had to die.
