The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

"Die!"

With a successful strike, Jashu's killing intent grew even more intense, as he sought to kill this Central Plains person and wash away the shame of his previous retreat.

"You're getting ahead of yourself..." Qing Yu couldn't help but cry with laughter.

If it weren't for the presence of a Divine Communication realm warrior lurking in secret, he would have directly brought out the Xuanyin Twelve Swords to send Jashu to his grave.

This Jashu didn't think of fleeing for his life but actually wanted to take Qing Yu's. It must be said, truly some people don't know whether to live or die.

Sword shadows flickered, and Qiuli's line and Jashu's claws, glowing with a ghostly green starlight, crossed paths again, emitting the sound of metal clashing against metal.

A Divine Communication realm warrior was secretly enhancing Jashu's Star Power from the shadows, his strength grew rapidly, even to the point where he could withstand Qing Yu's Sword Qi.

"Haha, die!"

Jashu once again attacked furiously, laughing maniacally as the demon wolf howled, his claw force scratching until the Golden Bell Shield's radiance dimmed significantly.

But at that moment, Jashu felt a sudden throb in his heart, as if something intimately connected to him had appeared, and his eyes lost focus for an instant.

In the next moment, a bright Sword Light swept up from beneath Qing Yu's left sleeve, slashing across Jashu's cheek.

"Ah ah ah..."

A piercing scream rang out, Jashu pressed his hand to his face, like a dog who had lost his home, he tucked his tail and quickly fled.

The once-hidden gaze monitoring from the shadows became more evident, filled with Killing Intent that seemed to be subtly brewing, ready to strike before also facing death.

Qing Yu stood still, under the wide sleeves of his robe, a glint of the sword's sharp edge could be slightly seen.

'Using the Greedy Wolf Star Lord to empower the sword, indeed allows the Greedy Wolf Sword to further progress...'

Qing Yu, feeling the pulse of the Evil Sword in his sleeve, thought with a clear sense of realization.

That blade of Sword Light was precisely the Greedy Wolf Sword that Qing Yu had suddenly taken out from the system space and swung.

Heavenly Blade and Greedy Wolf, these two Evil Weapons correspond to the Seven Killings and Greedy Wolf Star. Since acquiring the two Evil Weapons, Qing Yu had a certain notion.

Since ancient times, swordsmiths have practiced the method of sacrificing one's body to the sword. Many Divine Weapons and Evil Weapons, their inception involved the life sacrifices of swordsmiths.

Of course, this isn't to say all Divine Weapons require the sacrifice of their forgers, but if someone does sacrifice themselves, it endows the weapon with greater spirit.

And spirit can be said to be the true foundation of a Divine Weapon. Without spirit, even if it possesses an unmatched edge, it is no more than mere iron.

From the practice of sacrificing oneself to the sword, Qing Yu had thought of another possibility: sacrificing oneself to empower the sword.

Heavenly Blade Greedy Wolf, being weapons, cannot grow and evolve like the actual Seven Killings and Greedy Wolf Star Lords. Therefore, Qing Yu considered sacrificing the actual life force of those destined to Star Constellations to evolve the Evil Weapons.

Today's results proved that this method has viability. Merely stained with blood, the Greedy Wolf Sword pulsed; if it truly slew Jashu, the weapon would undoubtedly ascend a level.

'Grow stronger, the current Greedy Wolf Star Lord hasn't fully awakened the Greedy Wolf Star Power, killing him may not transform the Greedy Wolf Sword.'

It wasn't just because Jashu's strength was insufficient; it also had to do with how the person behind the scenes valued the Killing, Breaking, and Wolf Three Stars. Currently, Qing Yu himself wasn't strong enough, recklessly provoking the person behind the scenes would mean losing a significant amount of time to develop.

Suddenly, the Evil Sword hidden under Qing Yu's left sleeve disappeared, and he turned around, heading straight for Feiyun Pass.

"Retreat."

```

The people from the Earth Department quietly retreated to the tunnels around them, following an issued command.

The grassland people, with a predatory gaze, intended to obstruct, but witnessing the scene of corpses strewn everywhere, they all silently stopped their advance.

Tonight, at least thirty thousand grassland soldiers had died. As for the other side, apart from those few Earth Department members slaughtered by Jashu, only a pile of already dead bodies remained.

The accompanying Shaman Alfang was killed, two True Pill Realm experts -- one with shattered bones and severely injured, the other with an arm severed and malicious, damaging Sword Qi circulating within, constantly threatening his life.

The combat power of these two True Pill Realm warrios would be of no use in the upcoming wars.

Add to that the Jashu who ran back like a dog losing his home, and you can imagine the morale of the grassland armies.

Now that the white-haired Daoist who defeated Jashu, Alfang, and other experts wanted to leave, the grassland people naturally wouldn't be so ignorant as to forcefully confront him.

...............

Jashu fled back to the main camp in a sorry state and threw himself onto the tiger skin throne, like a lone wolf, emitting a weak howl.

This battle tonight thoroughly quelled Jashu's arrogance and shattered his pride.

"I have told you to preserve your own life. Your life does not belong to you."

The hollow voice echoed in the camp, reprimanding the lone wolf curled up on the throne, "Jashu, you should understand why we help you. If you lose your value, you should know what will happen without me saying more.

Over the years, you've offended more than a few sons of the Han King. If it weren't for our protection, you, this illegitimate child, would have long been devoured to the bone by your brothers."

The howling from the tiger skin chair gradually ceased, and a sinister voice came through, "Since my life doesn't belong to me, why should I care for it? After all, you won't let me die, right?"

"You, Jashu, you are far too presumptuous!"

A surge of True Qi from the unseen person struck Jashu's body, aggravating his injury, "You are not irreplaceable, remember your place."

"Not irreplaceable, is that really the case?"

Jashu slowly raised his head, the deep sword scar across his entire face made his expression even more hideous.

The rampant Sword Qi made it impossible for Jashu to control the closure of the wound, leaving him no choice but to let the blood flow.

"Tonight, I experienced that power, that formidable force. If it really could be replaced so easily, then this strong power is too cheap. If I can be replaced so easily, then why am I still alive?

Don't tell me, you don't want to kill me."

With each sentence, Jashu provoked the hidden person's nerves, his face betrayed the wolf's sinister and cunning.

"Indeed, I cannot control my own life. But the one who controls my life is not you. Even..."

"Heh heh heh ha ha ha ha..." Jashu suddenly burst into mad laughter, "Even after my breakthrough, you won't be better than me. Ha ha ha..."

In the past, he had only received Star Power that was infused into his body to accelerate growth, but this was the first time he truly felt the power of the Star Power. Jashu had a premonition that once he made his breakthrough and became a warrior of the Divinity Realm, this power would truly unleash its potential.

By then, even those in the Divinity Realm who had been following him would not be able to match his power.

"That's something we can discuss after you've made your breakthrough."

An unexpected force struck Jashu off the throne, causing him to sprawl on the ground.

"Once you've broken through, come before me and act wildly."

Jashu lay quietly on the ground, his bloodshot eyes revealing deep-seated resentment, "Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long."
