Regardless of the feeling he gave off, the man was undoubtedly a genuine Tier One Martial Spirit.
Facing such an opponent, Chu Qingyun dared not let his guard down.
"Thunder Light Sword Qi!"
Chu Qingyun drew the Thundercloud Sword from his waist. Primordial Power surged into it, activating the Thunder Light Power within his Sword Qi as he unleashed a full-powered slash!
Seeing Chu Qingyun dare to fight back, the man burst into a wild laugh. "Hahaha! A re Half-Step Martial Spirit dares to resist ? You're simply courting death!"
The other four mbers of the Martial Soul Hall also watched Chu Qingyun with mocking smiles.
mbers of the Martial Soul Hall couldn't cultivate Secret Techniques, and few had the aptitude for Secret Manuals. Because of this, they subconsciously believed that a higher-level cultivator could always crush a lower-level one.
Even though they knew that Martial Artists likely had Secret Techniques and Secret Manuals, this deeply ingrained belief was hard to shake.
But in the next instant, the smiles on all five of their faces froze.
Chu Qingyun's slash had cut the attacker clean in two—body, Primordial Power, and all!
The smile had yet to fade from the man's face when his body went POOF, transforming into a cloud of Martial Soul Power!
'This... he's too weak...'
At that mont, even Chu Qingyun himself couldn't help but be astonished.
He had originally thought that facing a Tier One Martial Spirit, even one without Secret Techniques or Secret Manuals, would require so effort to defeat. He never imagined his opponent would be so fragile as to be unable to block even a single slash!
This level of strength couldn't even compare to an ordinary Tier One Martial Spirit like Mo Tianyun, let alone the genius Guard Generals from the Great Xia Dragon Guard!
The man's body had burst apart and his Primordial Power had long since dissipated, but his Martial Soul Power was still present.
However, after using his Devouring Martial Soul to absorb the cloud of Martial Soul Power, Chu Qingyun's brow furrowed even deeper.
'It was a Tier Two Martial Soul!'
As far as Chu Qingyun knew, mbers of the Martial Soul Hall with only a Tier Two Martial Soul could, at best, reach the ninth-level Martial Artist rank; it should be impossible for them to beco a Tier One Martial Spirit.
'What... exactly is going on here?'
The remaining four were utterly horrified that Chu Qingyun had instantly killed their companion. They never expected a Half-Step Martial Spirit to be so strong.
But after snapping back to their senses, the four exchanged vicious glares. "Together!" They all charged Chu Qingyun at once.
They had been given a kill-or-be-killed order before coming here!
The four were no fools. Now aware of Chu Qingyun's strength, they stopped underestimating him and directly unleashed their Soul Techniques.
Much like their Primordial Power and auras, their Soul Techniques had the sa level of power as an ordinary Tier One Martial Spirit, but they always felt strangely loose, completely lacking the sharp edge that a Soul Technique from the Martial Spirit Realm should possess.
"Profound Celestial Divine Pattern!"
With a low cry from Chu Qingyun, an azure Divine Pattern flared to life on his body.
With two swift slashes, Chu Qingyun broke through two of their Soul Techniques. He then extended his left hand and, relying on the defense and power of the Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, forcibly caught and burst another one.
As for the last one, Chu Qingyun simply let it slam into him.
Protected by his Third-Layer Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, a Soul Technique of this power couldn't harm him in the slightest; he only felt a bit of the impact.
The power of the four's Soul Techniques was on par with Mo Tianyun's Flaming Hand, but their true destructive capability was far, far weaker!
'Too weak. They're simply too weak... A Tier One Martial Spirit like this probably couldn't even defeat one of the top Half-Step Martial Spirits from the Great Xia Dragon Guard!'
Chu Qingyun couldn't help but shake his head.
Pushing off the ground, Chu Qingyun lunged at one of the four n.
This ti, however, he learned from his previous experience. Instead of slashing with his sword, he channeled his Primordial Power and struck the man with his palm.
"He's not using his sword!"
A joyful expression instantly appeared on the man's face. "Brat, you're too careless! Go to hell!"
Saying that, he also channeled his Primordial Power and t Chu Qingyun's palm with his own.
BAM!
Their palms struck each other.
It was obvious that Chu Qingyun's Primordial Power was at a disadvantage, completely suppressed by the man's. If it weren't for the support of his Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, he would have been routed the mont their palms t!
Although these n who had been forcibly elevated to the Tier One Martial Spirit realm had poor control over their own power.
But in this kind of crude, palm-to-palm, power-on-power confrontation, the deciding factor was the purity of one's Primordial Power. In this regard, their Primordial Power as Tier One Martial Spirits was still superior to Chu Qingyun's.
"Hahaha! You Half-Step Martial Spirit brat, you actually dare to clash with a Tier One Martial Spirit head-on? Go to hell!"
The man let out a crazed laugh as more Primordial Power surged from his palm, intending to completely crush Chu Qingyun!
However, a mocking smile touched Chu Qingyun's lips at that mont. "Devouring Power!"
With a soft cry in his heart, a black force surged from his Palm Heart, passing through both of their Primordial Powers without any resistance and invading the other man's body.
"You can die now."
Chu Qingyun looked up and flashed the man a grin.
"You... What!?"
The man was only halfway through his sentence when he felt a terrifying power erupt violently inside him. All the Primordial Power throughout his body gathered uncontrollably, then flowed down his arm and toward Chu Qingyun!
"How can this be? Damn it, let go! Let go!..."
The man struggled with all his might, but Chu Qingyun used his Primordial Power to keep a death grip on his hand, refusing to let go.
To the others, it simply looked like the two were locked in a stalemate, competing with their Primordial Power.
But only the man himself knew that his own Primordial Power was being continuously and completely siphoned away by Chu Qingyun!
Forcibly devouring soone else's Primordial Power—such a thing was simply unheard of!
Every person's Primordial Power carries the imprint of their own aura. Forcibly absorbing Primordial Power that doesn't belong to you into your ridians would only lead to one result: the foreign power would violently clash with your own.
The slightest misstep would lead to the complete destruction of one's ridians, leaving them a cripple!
However, Chu Qingyun possessed the Devouring Martial Soul. Any power, as long as it was devoured and underwent Refining by the Devouring Martial Soul, would beco his own.
In his shock, the man even forgot to call for help!
With the Devouring Power unleashed at full force, it didn't take long for the man's Primordial Power to be completely devoured.
Moreover, to prevent anyone from noticing, Chu Qingyun was very careful. Just before devouring the last bit of the man's Primordial Power, he shattered him into Martial Soul Power with a palm strike.
After devouring the Martial Soul Power, he confird that it was, indeed, another Tier Two Martial Soul!
Using the sa thod, Chu Qingyun drained the Primordial Power of the remaining two n, and both of their Martial Souls turned out to be Tier Two as well.
'Could the Martial Soul Hall have so thod to raise a ninth-level Martial Artist to a Tier One Martial Spirit? If that's the case, it's too terrifying!'
At the thought of this possibility, Chu Qingyun couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
