Martial Arts are Too Involuted, and If You are Not Careful, You Can Quickly Pass the High Martial Arts

25: Cut through the seventh level of blood refining!”Hehehe, Xia Wuji, long time no see!”

As those scarlet robes appeared in this world, a strange laugh instantly echoed.

Xia Wuji, who was originally sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes at the sound, and a violent Aura instantly roared out.

Like a tiger awakening.

”Scarlet Church’s rats... you really came!”

Xia Wuji roared, and the Aura of a Rank 3 Bone Forging Martial Artist instantly erupted, stirring up gusts of storms that fiercely pressed down on those red robes.

However, just as Xia Wuji’s Aura erupted, an Aura not weaker than his also instantly burst forth from among those red robes.

It forcefully blocked Xia Wuji’s Aura.

Xia Wuji’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the newcomers and sneered, ”I wondered who it was, turns out to be a defeated opponent. I couldn’t kill you back then, but you ran to Jiangcheng!”

The red-robed figure, emitting a Rank 3 Aura, instantly had his eyes darken, and he sneered, ”Last time, you were lucky to win. This time... I want to see what you’ll use to stop our Scarlet Church’s actions!”

”Go, let that Star River Academy student see the strength of our Scarlet Church!”

The gaunt middle-aged man spoke coldly. The next moment, the figures behind him instantly darted towards the depths of the grassland.

Each person emitted an Aura unique to a Rank 2 Blood Refinement Martial Artist.

And there were a total of twelve such Martial Artist figures!

Seeing this, Xia Wuji’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly. Although these were all Rank 2 Martial Artists, don’t forget, in the depths of the grassland, there was also a Rank 3 Vicious Beast currently fighting Chen Moyun.

The remaining Rank 2 Martial Artists from Jiangcheng only totaled five. Not to mention, in this Rank 3 Another Dimension, there were also those Rank 2 Vicious Beasts!

The addition of these twelve Rank 2 Martial Artists from the Scarlet Church was enough to change the entire battlefield.

”You’re courting death!”

Xia Wuji roared, and a terrifying Aura roared out from his body, attempting to intercept these people.

However, just as Xia Wuji made his move, the gaunt middle-aged man instantly entangled him.

”Xia Wuji, your opponent is me!”

The gaunt middle-aged man sneered, unleashing powerful attacks that forcefully intercepted Xia Wuji.

Xia Wuji’s expression instantly turned grim.

”The rest of you... kill these two little ones!”

While entangling Xia Wuji, the gaunt middle-aged man grinned sinisterly at the remaining figures in scarlet robes.

”These two little ones... if I’m not mistaken, they should be the assessment targets for your Jiangnan Training Camp, right?”

”Tsk tsk tsk, those who can be assessed by the Jiangnan Training Camp are definitely Genius Martial Artists. I just wonder what your Jiangnan Training Camp will think if they die here!”

The middle-aged man laughed strangely, his eyes full of wantonness as he looked at Xia Wuji.

”Presumptuous!”

Xia Wuji snorted coldly. His Qi and blood, like a long Dragon, instantly wrapped around his body, and terrifying energy instantly erupted, striking towards the middle-aged man.

At the same time, Xia Wuji also noticed that the figures in scarlet robes had already rushed towards Ye Chen and Murong Qing.

One of them... even emitted the Aura of a Rank 7 Blood Refinement Peak Martial Artist!

Seeing this, Xia Wuji’s heart also panicked. He had thought the Scarlet Church would invade the Rank 3 Another Dimension, but he hadn’t expected that the Scarlet Church near Jiangcheng could send so many powerhouses.

Even the soldiers outside had no power to resist.

Thinking of this, Xia Wuji couldn’t help but feel furious at the Scarlet Church. He said to Ye Chen and Murong Qing, ”Hold on for the time it takes an incense stick to burn!”

One incense stick!

As long as it was the time it took an incense stick to burn, he would be able to deal with this annoying guy, and then he could turn the tide!

”Hmph!”

The middle-aged man also saw through Xia Wuji’s thoughts and couldn’t help but feel a hint of apprehension.

He had fought Xia Wuji before and naturally understood how terrifying Xia Wuji’s strength was. The time it took an incense stick to burn was enough for the opponent to kill him.

However... the middle-aged man also snorted, ”Kill these two guys within the time it takes an incense stick to burn!”

As his voice fell, the Rank 1 Martial Artists of the Scarlet Church trembled slightly, instantly bursting out with even faster speeds as they rushed towards Ye Chen and Murong Qing... Ye Chen, of course, also heard Xia Wuji’s words. Looking at the Scarlet Church members continuously charging towards them, his expression gradually became solemn.

”One Rank 7 Blood Refinement, two Rank 6 Blood Refinement, four Rank 5 Blood Refinement. The Scarlet Church’s strength... is quite strong!”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn’t help but grip the standard longsword in his hand.

”Ye Chen, what should we do?”

Murong Qing approached Ye Chen, a hint of panic on her small face.

If it were just Vicious Beasts, Murong Qing wouldn’t be afraid. In fact, during this time, she had adapted to fighting Vicious Beasts.

But if these Scarlet Church members were added, it would be different.

Wolves in front, tigers behind, plus the opponent’s strength was above her own.

Murong Qing’s heart couldn’t help but feel a surge of panic.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, looking at the Scarlet Church members continuously charging towards them, a sharp glint gradually flashing in his eyes.

”If they want to kill me... they’ll have to see if the sword in my hand agrees.”

”Rank 7 Blood Refinement... it’s not like I can’t defeat him!”

Ye Chen roared in his heart and looked at Murong Qing, saying, ”Give me your sword. You are responsible for blocking those Vicious Beasts. These Scarlet Church members, leave them to me!”

Murong Qing was stunned but still obediently handed the longsword, shimmering with green light, to Ye Chen.

”You want to face the Scarlet Church members? That’s a Rank 7 Blood Refinement Martial Artist! And there are Rank 6 and Rank 5 Martial Artists, you...”

Murong Qing spoke worriedly.

Ye Chen didn’t continue speaking, taking the longsword from Murong Qing’s hand.

Suddenly, lines of text appeared in Ye Chen’s mind.

”Heaven and Earth One Sword, comprehending the power of the Spirit Sword, proficiency +50!”

”Ding, Heaven and Earth One Sword has entered the Minor Achievement Realm!”

”Azure Wave Sword Art, comprehending the power of the Spirit Sword, proficiency +25!”

As the three lines of text appeared in Ye Chen’s vision, he was slightly stunned, and numerous insights instantly flooded his mind.

”Is this a Spirit Sword?”

Ye Chen looked at the sharp sword in his hand, which glowed with a faint green light, and a glint of light shot out from his eyes.

In this world, some special weapons are called Spiritual Artifacts!

And the Rank of Spiritual Artifacts, like Martial Artists, is divided into Rank 1 to Rank 9.

Currently, the weapon in Ye Chen’s hand was indeed a Rank 1 Spirit Sword!

”Heaven and Earth One Sword and Azure Wave Sword Art can actually increase proficiency by comprehending the power within the Spirit Sword?”

”Is it all Spiritual Artifacts, or only Spirit Swords?”

”Is it only once, or can it be countless times?”

Countless thoughts flashed through Ye Chen’s mind, but he quickly suppressed them.

After all... now was not the time to ponder these things.

Now... what needed to be done was to kill those Scarlet Church guys!

With the Spirit Sword in hand, and Heaven and Earth One Sword having entered the Minor Achievement Realm.

Although Ye Chen was only at Rank 5 Blood Refinement, facing a Rank 7 Blood Refinement Martial Artist... he still had the confidence to kill him!

”If you want to kill me... be prepared to be killed by me!”

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes, and he actually carried the Spirit Sword, instantly charging towards the Scarlet Church members.

”Hmm? This kid actually dares to charge at us?”

The leading Rank 7 Blood Refinement Peak Martial Artist was stunned at the sight, then revealed a sneer.

”A mere Rank 5 Blood Refinement. I don’t know where this guy gets the courage to dare to clash with us.”

”Perfect, among these two guys, he’s the strongest. After dealing with this kid, as for the other girl... hehe!”

A lewd look appeared in that person’s eyes, and a surging Qi and blood power instantly erupted from his body, striking towards Ye Chen.

”Kid... die!”

”Mountain Splitting Palm!”

The commotion here also attracted the attention of Xia Wuji and the other person. Seeing this, the gaunt middle-aged man’s sneer grew even stronger.

”I don’t know where your Jiangnan Training Camp found such a seedling. Good courage, but his brain... has issues!”

”A mere Rank 5 Blood Refinement actually wants to fight a Rank 7 Blood Refinement Peak Martial Artist. This is purely seeking death!”

Listening to the middle-aged man’s words, Xia Wuji’s heart also sank. He didn’t understand why Ye Chen was doing this.

”This guy...”

Xia Wuji’s heart couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. It would have been fine to just cooperate with Murong Qing to stall for time. If he couldn’t win, he should retreat. Why did he have to be so stubborn and confront the Rank 7 Blood Refinement Peak Martial Artist?

If Ye Chen died... Murong Qing would be in trouble.

At that time... these Rank 1 Vicious Beasts would rush out of the Rank 3 Another Dimension. Although they were just Rank 1 Vicious Beasts, don’t forget, Jiangcheng currently had no Rank 2 Martial Artists guarding it.

So many Vicious Beasts rushing out would also be a huge problem for Jiangcheng.

Thinking of this, Xia Wuji’s heart was somewhat in turmoil.

However... at this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded.

”Heaven and Earth... One Sword!”

As this voice fell, an extremely terrifying power instantly burst forth from the Spirit Sword in Ye Chen’s hand. The brilliant green light transformed into a Sword Aura, instantly landing on the Rank 7 Blood Refinement Martial Artist.

Pfft!

With just a muffled sound, a bloodline, long enough to extend to his lower body, already appeared on the Rank 7 Blood Refinement Martial Artist’s forehead.

The next moment... the Rank 7 Blood Refinement Peak Martial Artist’s body instantly split into two, falling to the ground.

”This...”

The remaining Scarlet Church members behind him watched this scene, their faces revealing a look of shock. They hadn’t expected that a Rank 7 Blood Refinement Peak Martial Artist would be instantly killed by a Rank 5 Blood Refinement individual!

”This is... a Minor Achievement Rank 2 Sword Art!”

The gaunt middle-aged man’s pupils constricted slightly, and he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Immediately after, his expression turned grim.

A Minor Achievement Rank 2 Sword Art was incredibly difficult for even a Rank 2 Martial Artist to Cultivate to this Realm, let alone a Rank 1 Martial Artist.

And this also showed that the power of this sword art was even more terrifying; it was almost impossible to defend against at the same Realm.

Moreover, Ye Chen also had a Rank 1 Spirit Sword in his hand.

With the two combined, the gaunt middle-aged man understood that the Rank 7 Blood Refinement Peak Martial Artist’s death was not unjustified.

But precisely because of this... the gaunt middle-aged man’s expression grew even more somber.

If such a talented person could not be killed, he would likely become another Star River Academy student in the future. After graduation, he would at least be a Rank 5 Martial Artist.

A Rank 5 Martial Artist... could even rival a branch master of the Scarlet Church.

”Damn it, there’s such a Prodigy among them. How could a small Jiangcheng produce such a Prodigy!”

The gaunt middle-aged man cursed inwardly.

And Xia Wuji, after being stunned for a moment, also showed a look of ecstasy on his face.

”Rank 2 Minor Achievement Sword Art... this child’s talent is beyond my expectations!”

”This child... must be recruited into my Jiangnan Training Camp. Perhaps... in a few months, he’ll be another Star River Academy seedling, and even... has a chance to contend for the top five hundred in the country!”

Xia Wuji was excited. He hadn’t expected Ye Chen to give him such a big surprise.

”Hmph, a Rank 2 Minor Achievement Sword Art is enough to exhaust a Rank 1 Martial Artist’s Qi and blood. Don’t forget... my Scarlet Church still has many people!”

The gaunt middle-aged man snorted coldly, his eyes full of killing intent as he looked at Ye Chen.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Wuji also suddenly came back to his senses.

Yes, it was very difficult for a Rank 1 Martial Artist to master a Minor Achievement Rank 2 Sword Art, and while its power was strong when used, it was also a huge drain for a Rank 1 Martial Artist.

Ye Chen’s ability to kill a Rank 7 Blood Refinement Martial Artist was almost his limit.

But... the crisis hadn’t been resolved yet!

For a moment, Xia Wuji’s brows furrowed again.

”Go, he killed the leader, he must be extremely exhausted now. Take advantage of this moment and kill him!”

At this time, the remaining Scarlet Church members also reacted and once again charged towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen stood in place, a wave of emptiness within him. Just as the middle-aged man had said, after using the Rank 2 Minor Achievement Sword Art, Ye Chen didn’t have much Qi and blood left.

But... it was precisely at this moment that lines of text quietly appeared.

”Killing an enemy beyond your Rank, Xuan Tan has made a Breakthrough, proficiency +10!”

”Killing an enemy beyond your Rank, Ninefold Azure Sky Step has made a Breakthrough, proficiency +10!”

”Killing an enemy beyond your Rank, Heaven and Earth One Sword has made a Breakthrough, proficiency +10!”

”Killing an enemy beyond your Rank, Azure Wave Sword Art has made a Breakthrough, proficiency +10!”

”cultivation progress +2!”
