This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Lu Qingshan's expression was grave as he squinted at the wizard.

Due to the immense consumption of Spiritual Power by the use of Intent, he refrained from recklessly deploying the Slaughter Sword Intent after the initial strike.

This had led to the current situation, where although he was overpowering the wizard, he had yet to inflict any fatal damage.

Finally, the wizard, having been continuously struck, roared in anger.

Facing Lu Qingshan's powerful offensive, even though he was a Body Cultivator with advanced Body Tempering techniques, he felt a pain that seemed to tear him apart and resolved to break the deadlock!

"Break!" the wizard shouted lowly.

A somewhat ethereal greenish flame burst out of his mouth, attacking Lu Qingshan's Dragon Sparrow Sword.

After performing this move, his face turned noticeably paler, clearly indicating the great consumption of Spiritual Power by the flame.

Correspondingly, the more Spiritual Power a spell consumes, the stronger it becomes.

In the myriad arts of the Cultivation World, using poison is considered a minor skill and few cultivators practice it, not to mention the generally weak spells it involves.

This breath of poison fire was a key reason their line of wizardry cultivators often overpowered cultivators of the same level.

This poison fire was known as Myriad Poisons Fire, a growing spell that increased in power the more deadly toxins were refined into it.

The batch of Myriad Poisons Fire he had unleashed contained precisely three hundred and fifty-six types of fierce poisons, one of which was a taboo poison recorded in the Poison Scripture.

Moreover, besides being strange and highly deadly, Myriad Poisons Fire had another feature—it was extremely adept at corrupting Spiritual Artifacts.

Sword Cultivators and their Life-bound Swords were closely linked, almost sharing a life-and-death bond, a well-known fact in the Cultivation World.

If he could eradicate the spiritual nature of the Sword Cultivator's Life-bound Sword before him, wouldn't the Sword Cultivator then become a lamb to the slaughter?

The wizard's calculations were very precise.

However, his smile had not yet faded from his lips when he noticed that the Sword Cultivator opposite him was not at all alarmed, and even sneered at him.

This sent a chill down his spine as he sensed a dangerous aura and hastily retreated backward.

But it was already too late.

The Dragon Sparrow Sword faced the oncoming wave of Myriad Poisons Fire as if it were nothing, effortlessly piercing right through it.

Boom!

The Dragon Sparrow Sword, like a bolt of lightning, traced brilliant red streaks across the sky, sword cries shaking the heavens, and struck the wizard once again.

Accompanied by a clanging sound, a large piece of scale armor was sliced off the wizard's body, causing him severe pain.

But what made him even more desperate was the flash of a green sword light and Lu Qingshan suddenly appearing in front of him.

Yes, in the moment the wizard deployed the Myriad Poisons Fire in defense, Lu Qingshan had simultaneously released the Green Wind Sword originally given by Zang Xiaojian, following right behind the Dragon Sparrow Sword and shooting forth.

At the same time, Lu Qingshan was performing the Formless Sword Escape, closing in together with the Green Wind Sword.

The Dragon Sparrow Sword, too, wandered back at this time, tightly grasped in Lu Qingshan's hand.

Divine Skills: Dragon Breath!

Lu Qingshan's eyes blazed with a murderous intent.

In the fearful eyes of the wizard, the Dragon Sparrow Sword burst forth with a flame wave several times more powerful than before.

Accompanied by a soul-piercing dragon chant, the Dragon Sparrow Sword in Lu Qingshan's hand surged with divine light, the previously grey and dull dragon patterns flashing a dazzling golden light.

A phantom of the Dragon Soul emerged, attaching to the sword, and along the slashing trajectory of the sword, it spewed out invisible clear ripples.

Ultimately, with a puff, this strike cleaved open the wizard's body, decapitating him, with his blood raining down in large quantities only to be instantly vaporized by fire.

Sparrow Chirp: Passive: This sword is invulnerable to all Fire Attribute attacks and delivers Fire Element damage during strikes.

The wizard's target for his Myriad Poisons Fire attack was not Lu Qingshan, but the Dragon Sparrow Sword.

According to common sense, his line of thinking was not flawed.

Although the Myriad Poisons Fire contained intense poison, it fundamentally belonged to the Fire Attribute attacks, and under the Dragon Sparrow Sword's Sparrow Chirp Divine Skills, which was immune to all Fire Attribute damage, the Dragon Sparrow Sword naturally could ignore the Myriad Poisons Fire.

The Myriad Poisons Fire thus became a wasted move.

In this intense back-and-forth confrontation, one misstep could lead to an utterly irreparable situation.

Not to mention, the Wizard had expended a tremendous amount of Spiritual Power to execute a wasted move.

He naturally had to pay a heavy price for his misjudgment, but Lu Qingshan's ability to seize the opportunity far exceeded the Wizard's expectations.

In the end, the price the Wizard paid was his... life.

After killing the Wizard, Lu Qingshan coldly surveyed the area ahead, where several Cultivators from the White Flower Snake Village who had just arrived were scattered.

His fight with the Wizard had caused such a commotion that the other Cultivators in the mountain caves couldn't possibly have no reaction, and they rushed over to check on the situation immediately.

Who would have thought, by the time they arrived at the scene, what they saw was the Wizard's head being severed by a sword.

This instantly shattered their courage.

Whoosh!

The Dragon Sparrow Sword circled in the air and broke through the sky again, slashing towards those Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

This immediately sent the seven or eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators into chaos, each displaying their techniques and fleeing in all directions, but how could the Escape Techniques of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator outrun a Sword Cultivator's Flying Sword?

This is what makes Sword Cultivators most terrifying: when facing other sect's Cultivators, if they can't win, they might have a chance to escape.

But when facing a Sword Cultivator, if they can't win, in most cases, they also can't escape!

Blood Light appeared repeatedly.

Before long, all these Foundation Establishment Cultivators lay dead in pools of blood, perishing on the spot.

"Lu Qingshan..." King of the West Rats was shocked beyond words the first time he witnessed Lu Qingshan with such fierce killing intent.

"Ee ee ah ah…." Mimi, who had come out with the King of the West Rats, made a weak sound, the joy in it perceptible.

"Should we hurry and take Mimi back to Qingqiu now?" The King of the West Rats suppressed the shock in his heart, somewhat worried about Mimi's condition, and said, "Mimi is wounded in its vital essence, perhaps only the Qingqiu Mountain Master can heal Mimi properly."

"Wait a bit longer," Lu Qingshan said coldly, "the cleaning up isn't done yet."

Evil must be completely eradicated.

The mortals who had lured Mimi back, he hadn't killed them yet.

Perhaps in the eyes of a Cultivator, mortals are like ants, not worth considering, and after dealing with the Wizard, they would have let the matter rest, but Lu Qingshan wouldn't.

No matter the identity, if someone did evil, he treated them all the same.

He would not ignore someone's crimes just because their status was distinguished, nor would he disdain to pursue someone because their status was as low as ants.

Lu Qingshan walked up to the Wizard's corpse, took off the Storage Ring from his finger, and after scanning it with his Divine Sense, had an idea in his mind.

"You two come with me," Lu Qingshan said to the King of the West Rats and Mimi.

He leaped up and flew from the mountain peak to the large plaza in the village.

This was the gathering place of the White Flower Snake Village during major festivals.

In the center of the plaza, on a high platform, hung a large bell.

Spiritual Power flashed in Lu Qingshan's hand, and with a casual swing, he struck the bell.

The long and loud bell sound resonated throughout the entire village.
