This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1658 - 23: Cultivating an Unbeatable Momentum

The Northern Yao King Realm, one of the many King Realms in the Black Armor Domain, borders the Buddha Kingdom.

On a clear day, a blood moon hangs in the sky, an ancient, rugged, cold city.

This is the second most prominent city in the Northern Yao King Realm, Han Xuan City.

Han Xuan City belongs to the Northern Yao Demon Race, and the guardian of the city is Han Xuan Demon Venerable, possessing the combat power of a High Ranking Demon Venerable—outside the Buddha Kingdom, such top-level Demon Venerables are unseen.

In a secret chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, Han Xuan Demon Venerable sat alone with his eyes slightly closed, contemplating the news that has spread throughout the Black Armor Domain during this time.

"One person breached the Buddha King City, countless elites and bloodlines of the Buddha Kingdom perished at his hands, and he's still at large…"

Since the rumor of Buddha King City's overthrow spread, the entire Black Armor Domain has been in a state of alarm, everyone on edge.

While Luojia led the army in pursuit of this person's tracks, he appeared in Buddha King City, using the force of Heavenly Tribulation to wreak havoc, inflicting unprecedented damage on the city since its establishment, and massacring the young generation of prodigies.

To the Human Race, they are demons.

But to these demonic cultivators, Lu Qingshan is the real demon.

The Four Kings are absent, and no one can deal with that human cultivator.

He is too cunning, always disappearing quickly after bringing about a slaughter.

"If the rumors are true, without Luojia exaggerating to shirk responsibility, this person is indeed terrifying.

Fortunately, he operates in the Buddha Kingdom; if he appeared in my Northern Yao King Realm, it would be troublesome…" Han Xuan Demon Venerable murmured softly, his voice lifeless even in the silent chamber.

Bang!

Almost without warning, the chamber door was blasted open, followed by a streak of black sword light roaring like thunder, striking toward Han Xuan Demon Venerable.

With his eyes slightly closed, Han Xuan Demon Venerable suddenly opened his eyes, retreating backward.

His eyes were full of brilliance, ignoring the darkness, clearly seeing the intruder.

The intruder... was indeed human!

A human cultivator, wielding a mystic black long sword.

"It's you, how can you be here!" Han Xuan Demon Venerable instantly recognized the intruder.

At this moment, the only human cultivator appearing in the Black Armor Domain, besides the peerless demon who overthrew Buddha King City, could be no other!

Lu Qingshan did not respond.

Because it was unnecessary to say more.

He never said he only operated in the Buddha Kingdom.

The Demon Suppressing sword in Lu Qingshan's hand was extremely sharp, agile like a Spirit Snake, mighty like lightning, vibrating effortlessly with the sound of sword ringing.

Dragon Spring resonates on the wall every night.

"Die!" A single word filled with killing intent spilled from Lu Qingshan's mouth.

In an instant, sword qi Dragon Snake burst forth.

With the Three-foot Green Peak in hand, who can block him?

The room was filled with green sword qi, the sound of slicing through the sky continuously reverberating.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan's attack did not use any Secret Sword moves, nor any fixed swordsmanship, but a sword derived from gathering the strengths of many.

A sword unparalleled in the world.

Sword qi transformed into a Dragon Snake, roaming in the chamber and at Lu Qingshan's feet.

Feet treading Dragon Snake, the person triggers killing intent.

Han Xuan Demon Venerable's facial muscles twitched violently, feeling the sharpness in the sword qi as if a mortal standing on a cliff facing bone-chilling winds.

He suddenly inflated his cheeks and spat out.

But what emerged wasn't air, but mystic thunder.

Han Xuan Demon Venerable, mouth full of mystic thunder!

Han Xuan Demon Venerable spat mystic thunder while his body started to emit thunder light, which traveled across his skin, making his physical body eerie.

Lu Qingshan remained unfazed, seeing only his sword, nothing else.

Thus, there was nothing else.

The Demon Suppressing Sword attacked again, the sword light crisscrossing, directly shattering the mystic thunder, then aiming straight at Han Xuan Demon Venerable's physical body.

Han Xuan Demon Venerable could only activate his Divine Demon Body, making thunder light dance chaotically to withstand this sword.

With a tearing sound, the thunder light dissipated, a deep bone-visible blood mark appearing on Han Xuan Demon Venerable's chest.

"Ah…" Han Xuan Demon Venerable's eyes turned red with pain.

Even the Divine Demon Body of a High Ranking Demon Venerable couldn't withstand Lu Qingshan's sword.

In fact, with Lu Qingshan's current Sword Dao realm, even a peach blossom branch in his hand could wield unparalleled power, slicing through the Divine Demon Body, let alone the peerless offensive Divine Weapon like the Demon Suppressing Sword?

Lu Qingshan stabbed again, the sword like a divine shuttle, directly targeting Han Xuan Demon Venerable's forehead, aiming to kill with one move.

Han Xuan Demon Venerable knew he was not a match, at least not in this small chamber.

He decisively made a decision, his whole body seeming like an arrow leaving the string, colliding toward the chamber wall along an incredible arc, preparing to flee.

Lu Qingshan followed closely behind, chasing Han Xuan Demon Venerable, stabbing swiftly, the sword blade once again reaching the opponent's back.

His sword speed was too fast, catching up instantly to Han Xuan Demon Venerable who had taken the lead.

Han Xuan Demon Venerable also realized, if he broke through the wall to escape, there would be a momentary halt.

In the moment of pause, with Lu Qingshan's sword speed, he was bound to suffer heavily.

Han Xuan Demon Venerable's face twisted, realizing at this moment that the rumors of Lu Qingshan's strength were undeniably true, without any exaggeration from Luojia. Just losing the upper hand put him breathless.

Suddenly, Han Xuan Demon Venerable's body shimmered and bizarrely shrank, transforming into a dark lightning bolt, narrowly escaping Lu Qingshan's blade. With the momentum of galloping thunder, he smashed through the wall and finally managed to escape.

This is the divine skill of his Mystic Thunder Divine Demon Body.

Seeing Han Xuan Demon Venerable escaping the dark chamber, Lu Qingshan didn't even look, his sword like a dragon snake, coiling upward at the dark lightning.

The dark lightning was only momentary; after leaving the chamber, it once again reverted to Han Xuan Demon Venerable's physical form.

"An enemy attack!" Han Xuan Demon Venerable shouted loudly while retreating rapidly.

He didn't expect the other demonic cultivators in the city to kill Lu Qingshan but at least hoped they would buy him time or even exhaust Lu Qingshan's strength.

As Han Xuan City boiled with his shouted warning, Lu Qingshan did not change his approach nor halt his attack, delivering dozens of sword strikes.

Dozens of sword strikes completed in a single breath, truly fast swords like a raging storm, capturing souls, claiming lives inevitably.

Because they were so fast, dozens of swords pierced simultaneously, completely sealing off all space, paths, and vitality around Han Xuan Demon Venerable.

Han Xuan Demon Venerable was both shocked and furious, letting out a long howl. Trying to dodge within the sword rain but finding no escape route, he could only forcefully exhibit the Divine Demon Body and choose to resist.

Mystic thunder surged out with a sizzling sound, roaming over Han Xuan Demon Venerable's body as if forming a suit of Mystic Thunder Armor, the lightning glowing intensely.

However, amidst the roar, those dozens of swords carried Sword Qi Dragon Snake, exploding fiercely, the sword light as rich as a blazing sun.

At this moment, the heaven and earth were filled only with sword light and sword qi.

With a resounding boom, the sword qi and light dissipated, everything returning to tranquility.

Lu Qingshan's figure flashed, rising with sword control toward the horizon's end and disappearing in an instant.

Han Xuan Demon Venerable remained suspended in the sky, motionless, with mystic thunder still crawling like a snake across his skin.

A full three or four breaths passed.

Countless blood lights sprayed out from Han Xuan Demon Venerable's body.

Neck, face, arms, chest, back...

Everywhere, all over.

Han Xuan Demon Venerable seemed to have turned into a showerhead, spraying out blood.

....

The red moon gray earth, withered trees, and yellow grass.

No one around, one man, one woman, standing side by side.

"Refreshing!" Lu Qingshan stroked Demon Suppressing Sword, devoid of a single trace of blood.

The sword was calm, yet with Lu Qingshan's touch, it resonated with a metallic sound.

A gentle breeze stirred, causing Lu Qingshan's robes to flutter slightly, as if ready to ride the wind away.

"Young Master, though your cultivation hasn't improved, you are much stronger than when you just broke through," Qin Yitian remarked solemnly, puzzled yet amazed.

"I'm gathering momentum," Lu Qingshan explained, "an invincible momentum."

"As long as I remain unbeaten, I will grow stronger, but if I am defeated, it will all be for naught, making any progress exceedingly difficult."

Lu Qingshan spoke with calmness, but Qin Yitian's expression changed.

She realized the peril of the path Lu Qingshan was taking.

A single mistake would lead to a great fall and shattering.

The path of gathering momentum is not exclusive to cultivators; even in the mundane world, martial artists will travel vast distances challenging various masters, to gather an unbeatable and invincible momentum.

But the question remains, is there truly invincibility in the world?

Once defeated, all efforts are wasted.

In the mundane world, once a martial artist starts gathering invincible momentum, his enemies, neutrals, even "friends and family" will do everything to make him fail, employing methods like poisoning, ambushes, and sieges...

Thus, even though most martial artists on this path are absolutely confident and skilled, most still fail, with only one success every few decades, undoubtedly reigning over the martial world for decades.

Lu Qingshan's path to gathering momentum was a thousand times more dangerous.

Because he's now in a different domain, hated by the Demon Race, facing pursuits by powerful demonic cultivators.

In such perilous circumstances, can Lu Qingshan truly remain undefeated and invincible?

Nearly impossible!

"Young Master, this is too risky!" Qin Yitian couldn't help but say.

She wanted to ask, why walk such a treacherous and tough path when his cultivation speed is unprecedented, and steady progress can already be ensured?

"No worries, I know what I'm doing." Lu Qingshan casually waved his hand, retrieving the sword into his Sword Domain, his gaze sparkling.

Gathering invincible momentum is both his confidence and his helpless choice.

[I am invincible at the Eighth Realm].

Without invincibility, how can one advance?

If the task for advancement truly demands defeating the Demon Race's strong with Seventh Tribulation Realm cultivation, this is his only way.

Utilizing the unbeaten momentum alongside his Sword Cultivator spirit, nourishing the sword with the momentum, focusing the spirit with the momentum.

Thus, Lu Qingshan left the Buddha Kingdom, preparing to traverse the Black Armor Domain, slaying Demon Venerables throughout.

Not confined within one King Realm; with his speed and ability to conceal his tracks, unable to pinpoint his next target, Luojia is destined only to tail behind him and eat dust!
