From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 166 The Demon-Subduing Blade is Complete

Ten days later, at the Su family's martial arts training ground.

The early spring wind was still biting, carrying a few withered yellow leaves that swirled around in the empty training ground.

Su Yu was shirtless, his well-defined muscles gleaming like jade in the morning light.

He held the Mo Yuan Blade, which weighed 108 jin, but did not rush to wield it. Instead, he stood quietly with his eyes slightly closed, adjusting the rhythm of his breathing.

Take a deep breath.

Each breath was accompanied by a powerful rise and fall of his chest, faintly emitting a muffled thunderous sound.

"The restless mind returns to its righteous path, revealing its sharp edge; with a single stroke, it cuts away all the filth of the world!"

He silently recited the sword incantation in his mind, and his restless mind became extremely calm at that moment.

"rise!"

Su Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Without warning, the Mo Yuan Blade in his hand slashed out, accompanied by a low, suppressed hum, like muffled thunder rolling in the clouds.

"Subdue the demon and split the mountain!"

This strike was powerful and heavy.

Where the blade passed, the air seemed to thicken like mercury; the invisible force of the blade caused even the withered leaves ten feet away to tremble.

But this is only the beginning.

Su Yu stepped on the Seven Fiend Thunderclap Step, his figure instantly transforming into a blurry afterimage as he traversed the martial arts arena.

The flashes of the blades were like snow, continuous and endless.

"The ape emerges from its cave!"

His figure shrank swiftly, and the long sword shot out from under his armpit like a venomous snake, so fast that only a sliver of dark light could be seen.

"Entangling Vines Lock the Demon!"

The blade's momentum suddenly shifted, transforming from fierce and ruthless to gentle and yielding. The blade coiled like a serpent, drawing strange arcs in the air, as if weaving an impenetrable net of blades.

With each rehearsal, Su Yu entered a profound state of selflessness.

He forgot the passage of time, forgot the soreness in his arm, and even forgot the knife in his hand.

At this moment, the knife was no longer a cold weapon, but an extension of his arm and a manifestation of his will.

The blood and qi within his body surged forth like a river bursting its banks, rushing wildly into the blade. The originally jet-black Mo Yuan Blade now faintly glowed with a dark red light, a sign that the blood and qi were merging with the blade's power!

The originally invisible sword energy began to be compressed and condensed to an extreme degree, seemingly transforming into tangible power.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun was high in the sky.

Su Yu's movements became faster and faster, and the originally muffled thunder began to be mixed with a few sharp and shrill whistles.

"Chirp!"

That was a mournful cry as the air was torn apart, and a harbinger of the raging apes howling through the mountains!

"Freeze!"

Su Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and let out a loud shout.

His spine taut like a bowstring, his blood and energy resonating with the power of his sword at their peak. He gripped the sword with both hands and slashed fiercely down at the massive blue stone he had used to test his blade!

"The Suppressing Blade of Mount Zhen!"

"Buzz!!!"

A sudden change has occurred!

On the blade of the Mo Yuan Blade, the previously invisible air instantly distorted, and an extremely dense and profound jet-black blade aura burst forth!

This black aura was no longer an illusory shadow, but rather like a layer of flowing black mercury, instantly enveloping the entire blade and extending forward more than half a foot from the tip!

Then, something even more astonishing happened.

Under the surge of the powerful blood and qi within Su Yu's body, a strange and violent crimson light actually ignited on the surface of that jet-black sword qi!

"laugh!"

Su Yu deliberately controlled the distance when he slashed down.

Logically, this strike should have missed its target.

However, the dark blade energy, shrouded in red light, silently swept past the bluestone.

"puff."

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a soft, muffled sound, like cutting silk.

The red light scorched the stone skin first, and then the dark, sharp blade energy inside cut in without any hindrance.

The hard bluestone split in two instantly, as if it were tofu!

The cut was smooth and flat, yet it displayed a strange mix of charred black and grayish-white colors, the marks left by the combined effects of burning blood and the cutting edge of the blade.

"boom!"

Only when the two halves of the boulder collapsed with a crash did Su Yu slowly sheathe his sword.

The terrifying, reddish-black aura clinging to the blade slowly dissipated, transforming into a scorching gust of wind that swept outwards.

[The Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade has broken through to the Great Perfection Realm]

[Martial Arts]: Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade (Level 1) (Mastery 1/10000)

"It's done!"

Su Yu looked at the Mo Yuan Blade in his hand, now restored to its original state, with the stunning red and black light and shadow still lingering in his eyes.

"This is the qualitative change at the Great Completion Realm: the sword's power transforms into qi, and qi and blood become intertwined!"

"Now, with a single strike, I unleash a devastating combination of blood and sword energy! Within the Tempering Skin Realm, most martial artists probably can't even withstand a single blow from me! Even my own Xuan Yin Flowing Armor probably can't withstand more than a few strikes!"

"This Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Saber truly lives up to its reputation as Master's trump card. He once said that he learned this saber technique from a great figure, and it seems he wasn't exaggerating!"

Black Rock Avenue, Central Arena.

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed down the street.

A figure flew off the stage like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting blood, and unable to get up for a long time.

On the stage, Ding Mianyue wore a tight black outfit that outlined her figure, which, though still somewhat youthful, already exuded ruthlessness.

Holding a pair of Emei Daggers in one hand, she looked down at the defeated man with undisguised contempt in her eyes.

"Too weak."

She shook her head, her voice clear yet grating: "This is the martial arts of Blackrock City? You can't even withstand a single move from me."

"Is there not a single capable fighter in such a large city?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Blackrock City native martial artists watching from below the stage instantly turned a deep shade of liver, yet they dared not utter a word of anger.

"This is outrageous! Ding Mianyue from the Flying Fish Martial Arts School is simply rubbing our Black Rock City's face in the dirt!" someone said indignantly.

"Sigh, I have to admit she's amazing. She's only twenty years old, yet she's already at the peak of the Skin Tempering Realm. Her Flying Fish Breaking Kill Technique is so refined that her movements are as fast as a ghost. Among the younger generation on our side, Cui Wanhe at the same age has only just reached the third level of acupoints."

"The dragon from Liangzhou Prefecture is indeed fierce. Our little place is about to undergo a major upheaval."

Sihai Teahouse, second floor private seating.

A young man dressed in a flowing cloud-patterned brocade robe was playing with a jade wrench in his hand with great interest. His gaze swept over Ding Mianyue on the arena, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "This Ding Mianyue does have some skills, but in the end, she's just a stray dog ​​who fled from Liangzhou. Black Stone City is under the jurisdiction of our Jian'an Prefecture. This kind of wild behavior makes Jian'an Prefecture lose face."

Although this person spoke arrogantly, he had the right to be so. He was Liu Yunzheng, the third son of the Liu family of Jian'an Prefecture.

He was not yet thirty years old, but had already entered the Body Refinement Realm for several years.

Beside her, Liu Yuan, dressed in an exquisitely tailored silk dress, her face as beautiful as a peach blossom, diligently offered a cup of fragrant tea to Liu Yunzheng with both hands: "The Flying Fish Martial Arts School is just acting out of momentary bravado. Once your people make a move, they will naturally behave themselves."

As she spoke, her slender, jade-like fingertips inadvertently brushed against the back of Liu Yunzheng's hand.

Liu Yunzheng took the teacup and gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips, his eyes revealing an undisguised aggressiveness.

Liu Yuan trembled slightly, two blushes rose on her face, and she lowered her head shyly, but her eyes were full of secret joy.

This is the real dragon she has always dreamed of!

Born into a prestigious family, possessing unfathomable strength, and incredibly handsome. If I could marry him, I'd be marrying into a much higher social class!

As for the so-called peasant geniuses in Blackrock City, such as Su Yu and even Cui Wanhe, they are nothing more than lowly people who are not even worthy of carrying Young Master Liu's shoes!

On the arena.

Seeing that no one dared to go on stage again, Ding Mianyue flicked the blood off her weapon with a bit of boredom and turned to look at her senior brother Jiang Pingzhi beside her.

"Senior brother, these companies are all too weak. Who's next?"

Jiang Pingzhi, dressed in a blue robe, possessed a gentle and effeminate air. He slowly flipped through the roster in his hand, tapping on one line with a playful smile: "This one's interesting. White Ape Martial Arts School, although it's a small school, it's become quite famous lately. Especially that guy named Su Yu, nineteen years old, with two acupoints, hailed as Blackstone City's rising genius."

Ding Mianyue scoffed, her eyes full of disdain: "Nineteen years old and only has two acupoints? This is hardly worthy of being called a genius? In Liangzhou, someone like this wouldn't even be qualified to be my sparring partner."

The two did not lower their voices, and their conversation instantly spread throughout the room.

"Hiss—they've got their eyes on the White Ape Martial Arts School!"

"It's over! Although Su Yu is powerful and his combat strength has always been considerable, he probably won't be able to withstand even one move from Ding Mianyue, who has reached the peak of the Skin Tempering stage."

"Alas, if Su Yu loses, not only will his own reputation be ruined, but the White Ape Martial Arts School will also be inferior to others in the future!"

A collective sigh rippled through the crowd.

No one had high hopes for Su Yu. After all, the difference in their cultivation levels was obvious, and with Ding Mianyue displaying such formidable combat power, Su Yu was likely doomed this time!

"Well, in my opinion, it's best if the White Ape Martial Arts School goes on strike and ignores them. Let's wait for the Lantern Festival. The forces from Jian'an Prefecture will also make their move then, and maybe we can get away with it!"

"Isn't this just being a coward?"

"That's still better than being crippled in one move by Ding Mianyue!"
