Having incorporated the essence of the Seven Blades of Breaking Waves, the Swift Wind Blade Technique these past few days revealed a trace of the Sublime Mountain-Cutting Blade Intent.
Luli's blade was not something that a mere group of martial artists could withstand.
Despite being at the same cultivation level or even a level or two higher than Luli, these martial artists were defeated in a disheveled manner by Luli. Heads rolled, blood surged, and a persistent notification sound echoed in the depths of Luli's mind, signaling an increase in his fierce value.
Before the reinforcements from the army arrived, all the bandit martial artists were already slaughtered by Luli on the city wall.
In Luli's hands, the Red Sleeve Blade, trembling with the intake of hot blood, absorbed the essence of martial artists' blood, providing a substantial boost.
Observing a young nobleman wielding a blade on the city wall, several martial artists who had rushed over from the army respectfully saluted. One of them recognized Luli, as he was quite renowned in Eastwood City.
Previously dismissed as the useless young master of the Lu family, Luli had now achieved unprecedented fame in Eastwood City, having secured first place in several major competitions.
"It turns out to be Young Master Li. Many thanks to Young Master Li for lending a helping hand. Without your assistance, this place might have fallen to the bandits!"
The martial artists from the army expressed their gratitude. At this moment, as they looked at Luli, a sense of awe filled their hearts. Less than a month ago, Luli was considered the useless scion of the Lu family, unable to cultivate due to blocked meridians. Unbelievably, within this short period, Luli had grown terrifyingly powerful.
The bandit martial artists Luli killed were not ordinary; they were all martial artists at the Fifth or even Sixth or Seventh Stage of Meridian Qi Realm.
Yet, Luli dispatched them as if slicing through melons and chopping vegetables. Even if these bandit martial artists joined forces against the soldiers, it would likely come at a high cost. However, Luli, alone, was now stepping on their still-warm bodies, blade in hand.
"Your timing is perfect. Accompany me in breaking out of the city!"
After saying this, Luli unexpectedly leaped from the city wall, descending into the densely packed group of mountain bandits below.
Such audacity left the martial artists from the army astounded.
"Why are you still standing here? Do you want Young Master Li to face the bandits alone?"
"Convey my orders: break out of the city. These mere bandits will be eradicated without a trace!"
Following Luli's lead, several martial artists from the army also leaped down from the city wall. A ten-meter-high wall posed no challenge for martial artists.
When the martial artists descended from the city, they witnessed a horrifying scene. Shortly after Luli jumped down, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood surrounded him. The killing was unbelievably swift.
The Red Sleeve Blade, indulging in the consumption of hot blood, now emitted a faint red glow. The blade spirit of the Red Sleeve Blade conveyed an extremely excited emotion to Luli.
The Swift Wind Blade Technique danced wildly, and in front of him, there was a sea of blood. The system notifications seemed to buzz incessantly.
Luli's formidable display of killing left the martial artists from the army embarrassed. Killing could be executed with such speed and enthusiasm, such a joyous and satisfying spectacle.
"Congratulations to the host's servant, Chen Axiu, for killing bandits from the Black Wind Stronghold. Fierceness value +0.82!"
"Congratulations to the host for the servant's first contribution to the host's fierceness value. Servant cultivation system initiated!"
As Luli lay amidst the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, he suddenly stopped and looked toward the city wall. His attention shifted from the system interface, revealing a new option in the servant cultivation interface.
Luli didn't have time to examine it closely. At this moment, killing mountain bandits took precedence, and regardless of the system's features, fierceness value was indispensable.
Despite Luli's escalating killing spree, the bandits were now retreating and fleeing.
With the space in front of Luli empty, he muttered a curse at the fleeing mountain bandits, displaying their lack of backbone.
Seeing the bandits in such a sorry state, Luli could only chase after them. However, the pursuing army of bandits was not as fast as these scattered ones.
At this moment, on a small hill, a pair of eyes peered through the darkness, gazing in Luli's direction.
"Kill him!"
"Yes!"
A black figure shot toward Luli. The person had yet to arrive, but a sword energy surged forward. Astonishingly, it was a transcendent realm expert. Luli's intense killing had finally attracted a true expert to take action.
The Red Sleeve Blade cleaved through the sword energy, and Luli inserted a Qi Condensation Pill into his mouth to replenish the expended spiritual energy. After all, the confrontation consumed a significant amount, and replenishing it was necessary.
The transcendent realm expert's body hesitated as the sword energy was dispersed by Luli's strike. A shadow descended, holding a sword and staring at Luli.
"Very good, it's been a while since I've seen someone at the peak of the Meridian Qi Realm like you. Today, you shall die by my sword!"
"Who dies is still uncertain!"
Luli chuckled. The opponent must have thought he was at the peak of the Meridian Qi Realm.
"Haha, what a joke. A mere Meridian Qi Realm dares to utter such laughable words. Die!"
The sword was unsheathed, a chilling light intimidatingly approaching!
Luli also swung his blade, and at this moment, the blade spirit of the Red Sleeve Blade seemed to be in an extremely delicate state. Luli felt that the blade spirit, like a butterfly about to emerge from its cocoon, yearned for an exhilarating battle. This emotion was clearly conveyed through Luli's hand gripping the blade.
Since it was a battle, let it be a thrilling, relentless one, a battle of indomitable spirit, a battle where he stood invincible!
The clash of blades and sword radiance intertwined, causing the martial artists behind to halt their steps. Even the fleeing bandits stopped in their tracks.
"Young Master Li can actually contend with a transcendent realm expert. I haven't misjudged him!"
"How is that possible? It indeed is a transcendent realm; we all saw that sword energy just now! Without reaching the transcendent realm, how could one evoke sword energy?"
"Terrifying! Young Master Li has been cultivating for less than a month, and yet he is already at the peak of the Meridian Qi Realm!"
"Peak of the Meridian Qi Realm? Young Master Li cultivated for less than a month!"
The martial artists looked at each other, each wearing an expression of disbelief.
Unbelievable! Whether or not Luli was at the peak of the Meridian Qi Realm, the fact that he could contend with a transcendent realm expert alone was already an incredible miracle.
On the city wall, a gaze silently observed Luli. From those eyes, continuous flashes of amaz
ement could be seen.
With the discerning eyes and cultivation of the Dragon City Lord, he could easily tell that Luli was only at the Fifth Stage of Meridian Qi Realm. For Luli to confront a transcendent realm expert at this stage was nothing short of a miracle.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, there would be another occurrence of a Meridian Qi Realm defeating a transcendent realm warrior!"
"The young master's insight is extraordinary. The person he values is indeed extraordinary, capable of confronting a transcendent realm with just a Meridian Qi Realm!"
"Enough with the flattery. Protect him well; there may be more than just a transcendent realm expert on the opposing side!"
"Where is the young master?"
"A few miscellaneous enemies; they can't harm me!"
The figure disappeared.
The Dragon City Lord kept his eyes on the direction where Luli was, sighing repeatedly. There was a time when there was a legendary figure who, in the Meridian Qi Realm, could battle on par with a transcendent realm warrior. Now, that figure had become an elder of a Seven-Star Sect.
Back then, he, too, fought against a transcendent realm warrior when he was merely at the Ninth Stage of Meridian Qi Realm. At that time, he was considered extraordinary. Now, Luli was only at the Fifth Stage of Meridian Qi Realm. If Luli continued to grow, he would truly be an anomaly.
