You Drove Me Out with Your Hypocrisy and now Crying When I Come to Take It All? Chapter 148 : Chapter 148

Chapter 148: The Divine-Level Sword Art, “Dragon-Scorching Sword Qi”!

“Th-That monster just died like that?”

“Has my lord’s strength already reached such a level?”

The Jinyiwei stared blankly at the scene before them.

The gigantic thing ford of Vital Blood had crashed onto Iron Halberd Mountain, reducing the buildings all over the mountain to ruins and felling countless rocks and trees.

It was the horrifying sight of a place ravaged by disaster.

What kind of monster had that been?

Its body collapsing alone had been enough to cause such trendous destruction.

It was practically a demonic giant beast that should have existed only in legend!

In the next mont, the giant body gradually shrank as its Vital Blood frantically dispersed, leaving behind only a horribly mangled corpse.

Xiao Teng.

Dead beyond any doubt.

His body lay in the enormous crater left by the impact, looking especially small.

That stark contrast shook the Jinyiwei to their cores, their mouths hanging open.

This had been a late Ninth Rank hard-body expert!

To people like them, he had been an existence no different from a god or demon.

He had sacrificed the lives of his entire clan.

He had unleashed the true inherited power of an ancient fiend.

The power he had gained had even been enough to suppress Cheng Zhenjiang, the renowned Heaven Ranking expert of the Jianghu.

It had reached the terrifying level of Grandmaster.

And yet he had died so miserably—without even managing to take a single life with him?!

Although that monster had shouted about slaughtering everyone in a frenzy to take revenge on Cheng Zhenjiang, frightening all of them badly...

After all that howling and bluster, this pitiful wreck was all that remained.

He was no longer terrifying.

If anything, he looked almost pathetic!

And the one who had brought about all of this...

Was Cheng Yu.

The sight of him riding the serpent with sword in hand, and that unimaginable, terrifying figure he had transford into...

He had suppressed an opponent at the level of Grandmaster!

Just what kind of expert was the man they Jinyiwei followed?

At that mont, a light appeared in the Jinyiwei’s eyes as they looked toward that towering, majestic figure.

The enormous and incomparably imposing phantom released its great hand.

A snow-white dragon sinew, stretched grotesquely out of shape, fell to the ground and dissolved into drifting white light.

Having completed all this, the phantom’s form gradually faded as well.

Before vanishing completely, the phantom slowly turned its head and looked toward a pile of rocks in the distance.

The little white snake hiding there with her head lowered in trembling fear suddenly stiffened.

An overwhelming instinct of submission rising from her bloodline forced her to lift her head and look.

Susu opened her mouth and flicked out her tongue.

Unmatched terror flowed through her eyes.

It was not the Boss looking at her.

It was the Heavenly Venerable looking at her!

Everything that had happened in the cave beneath Sword-Forging Manor ca flooding back to her mind with perfect clarity.

Susu hurriedly lowered her head in a movent almost like kneeling in worship.

She was terrified that the Heavenly Venerable might think the treatnt that day had been insufficient and give her another round.

But in the next second, the phantom did nothing else. Approval flashed through its eyes, and it gave Susu a nod.

She had followed her lord to the death without regard for her own safety.

A fine serpent general indeed!

Susu, both awed and terrified, widened her delicate serpent eyes.

The Heavenly Venerable...

Was praising her!

At that very mont, a powerful and ethereal aura descended from the heavens and poured into the white snake’s body.

Susu only felt an incomparable warmth within herself.

At that instant, her blood surged, and her Heavenly Serpent Bloodline was elevated once more!

Feeling the majestic power and dignity now flowing through her bloodline, she imdiately understood.

This was a reward from the Heavenly Venerable!

Overco with excitent, Susu pressed her head firmly to the ground.

“Thank you, Heavenly Venerable Lord! Thank you, Boss!”

The power of her bloodline was now nobler and purer than that of the terrifying ancient giant demons from before her slumber.

Even the dragon bloodline she had bitterly pursued for a thousand years seed insignificant at this mont.

Tears slid from the corners of her eyes.

Following the Boss really brought unimaginable benefits!

It had only been a month, yet her bloodline had already advanced by leaps and bounds twice. If another hundred years passed, what would beco of her then?

Those once distant and unreachable goals and enemies were no longer beyond her grasp!

After rewarding Serpent General Susu, the phantom completely faded and vanished.

Cheng Yu’s tall, cold figure in his Flying Fish Uniform reappeared.

He walked over to Xiao Teng’s mangled corpse. At this point, the body barely retained the outline of a human.

Within it churned a mass of incomparably pure and powerful golden blood.

The Dragon Blood passed down through Prince Qing’s inheritance!

Cheng Yu brought the Demon-Slaying Sword forward, and the Dragon Blood was instantly absorbed in its entirety.

It transford into the power of the Dragon Abyss Sword Intent.

At that mont, the System’s voice rang out as well.

【The host absorbed Dragon Blood and completed the Dragon Abyss Sword Dao, perfecting the Great Dao of Arms · Sword within the True Martial Inheritance. Reward granted: the Divine-Level Sword Art “Dragon-Scorching Sword Qi”!】

A Divine-Level Sword Art!

The mont Cheng Yu heard the contents of the System’s reward, his gaze changed at once.

Of all the grades of martial arts he knew, the highest had only ever been Heaven Grade among the Heaven, Earth, and Human Ranks.

And a Heaven Grade technique was already sothing unheard of in the entire Great Qian Dynasty.

Relying on the High-Grade Heaven-Rank Hundred-Battle Reincarnation Saber Art, Cheng Yu had already been able to forcibly crush enemies above his own realm through the sheer superiority of his technique.

What kind of existence, then, was a Divine-Level technique?

Cheng Yu only needed a single glance before he lost his composure.

“To unleash one’s Sword Intent and Dragon Might without reserve and forge them into a single sword strike—when the sword qi is cut forth, one may glimpse the power of a Dao!”

Dao!

In the martial path, that word was deeply bound to a specific realm.

Grandmaster!

Only one who had analyzed the essence of martial arts, returned to simplicity, and entered the Dao through martiality could be called a Grandmaster!

Earlier, when Xiao Teng had erupted with power comparable to that of a Grandmaster, he had done so only by recklessly borrowing the Dao of that Flood Dragon demon.

In other words, Dragon-Scorching Sword Qi was only a single strike, and it would exhaust all the Sword Intent in one’s body—but the minimum power it unleashed was already Grandmaster-level!

If Cheng Yu were to face the Vital Blood Flood Dragon Xiao Teng had transford into again at this mont, then even without relying on the absolute suppressive force the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable held over demons, he could still kill it with this one strike.

Compared with Xiao Teng’s pseudo-Grandmaster power borrowed from the Dao, Dragon-Scorching Sword Qi was genuine Dao-entering power!

Up to this point, the upper limit of Cheng Yu’s Grandmaster-comparable strength had been restricted by all kinds of limitations and uncertainties.

But at this mont, it finally beca sothing real and concrete.

Below Grandmaster, a single sword strike could shatter all opposition!

Against those above Grandmaster, attempting a one-for-one exchange was not out of the question either!

The destruction of Prince Qing’s line had truly left him with enormous gains.

And just then, another unexpected delight appeared.

The Black Turtle Statue, which had acknowledged him as master and rged into him, suddenly beca active again.

Following that sensation, Cheng Yu looked toward Xiao Teng’s corpse and saw a dull scale the size of a palm fall from it.

The stone wall in the distance that had connected to the Prince Qing Secret Realm transford into a streak of light and swiftly flew into the scale.

A sense of familiarity and closeness rose spontaneously within him.

The Black Turtle Statue was reminding him!

Prince Qing’s bloodline had been completely extinguished, and the Dragon Blood inheritance was now masterless!

Cheng Yu’s eyes lit up. Prince Qing’s inheritance and Cheng Yuan’s inheritance ca from the sa source, and both pointed directly toward the Grandmaster realm.

If he could wield both at once, the benefits would surely be beyond imagination!

Just as Cheng Yu was about to reach down and pick up the dragon scale, the sound of raging waves suddenly roared by his ears.

“That thing is mine!”
