Without a moment’s hesitation, Ye Wushuang swung another punch.
The **Flesh-Rending Fist**!
A flash of the fist’s radiance, the spiritual membrane condensed, and the punch struck directly at Lu Qingsong’s chest.
*”Pffft…”*
Lu Qingsong spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered backward for dozens of steps.
Yet Ye Wushuang pressed forward without delay.
*”Quick, quick, save my elder brother!”* Lu Qingyan roared.
More than a dozen high-level Yuan Fu cultivators advanced at this moment.
*”Get out of my way.”*
With a shout from Ye Wushuang, the Tian Ya Sword swept horizontally.
The few who were close by were instantly torn apart by the sword qi.
The others immediately trembled in their steps, too terrified to approach.
This young man was just too powerful!
Even Qingshan had been killed, and now Lu Qingsong was severely injured. They were no match for him at all!
How could they possibly fight?
At this moment, Lu Qingyan was even more anxious to stop.
His elder brother had been defeated!
He had never imagined that his elder brother would be defeated by Ye Wushuang.
What should he do? What could he do?
By this time, Ye Wushuang had already approached Lu Qingsong with his sword.
The Tian Ya Sword was poised at Lu Qingsong’s neck, and Ye Wushuang, with sweat on his forehead, smiled and said, *”I’ll take your spirit points as well!”*
With a *spurt*, blood splashed five paces away.
Lu Qingsong’s body slowly collapsed to the ground.
Another so-called “monster” had met his end.
Lu Qingyan was completely numb.
Without a word, he turned and fled.
Ye Wushuang pursued with his sword, sneering, *”Didn’t you want to kill me, this ‘bumpkin’?”*
Seeing Ye Wushuang chasing him with his sword, Lu Qingyan’s spirit shattered. His face turned pale, and he ran away without looking back.
But how could Ye Wushuang let him escape?
With a sword strike through the air, he attacked directly.
Lu Qingyan, like Ye Wushuang, was at the seventh level of Yuan Fu, yet he couldn’t even withstand a single sword strike from Ye Wushuang.
Another *spurt* sounded.
The sword qi pierced through Lu Qingyan’s back, knocking him to the ground.
Without pausing, Ye Wushuang continued to hunt down the other dozen or so disciples of the Giant Sword Sect.
However, these people scattered and fled, and in the end, Ye Wushuang only managed to kill four or five of them before turning back.
He approached Lu Qingyan and took his token.
*”More than thirty thousand…”*
Then he went to Lu Qingsong and took his token.
*”One hundred and ten thousand.”*
Ye Wushuang’s eyes brightened.
Originally, with the spirit points from Qingshan, he already had two hundred and fifty thousand spirit points. Now, with these two added, he had three hundred and ninety thousand spirit points!
In previous years, those who made it into the top seven usually had more than half a million spirit points.
He was not far from the top seven now.
Moreover, Ye Wushuang suddenly realized that…
Offending these so-called “monsters” from the Seven Great Sects was not necessarily a bad thing.
If they came looking for trouble,
he would just kill them.
In this way, not only did he seize their spirit points and enhanced his own, but he also eliminated potential rivals.
Both Lu Qingsong and Qingshan were definitely contenders for the top seven.
But with less than a month into the competition, and both of them dead, that meant two fewer strong competitors.
*”If I want to surpass the last six among the top seven, I’ll need at least three million spirit points to be safe!”*
Three million spirit points!
How could he possibly get that?
By killing fifth-stage spiritual beasts?
That was utterly absurd.
Not to mention whether there were any fifth-stage spiritual beasts in the tributary of the Youlong Mountain, even if there were, and even if Ye Wushuang reached the Tian Gang realm…
he would still be no match for them!
What about using cunning tricks?
Fifth-stage spiritual beasts were truly invincible beings beyond the Tian Gang and Wan Fa realms, comparable to kings of beasts. Cunning tricks… even those in the Tian Gang realm wouldn’t stand a chance.
Perhaps fourth-stage spiritual beasts might be more feasible.
The lowest grade of fourth-stage spiritual beasts was worth twenty thousand spirit points.
If he could take down a few high-grade ones, that would be hundreds of thousands of spirit points.
However, that would have to wait until he reached the Tian Gang realm.
For now, it was more practical to target third-stage spiritual beasts of the Tian Gang realm.
Beasts like the Flame-Swallowing Tiger and the Blue-Scale Beast were relatively easier to deal with.
After collecting the treasures from these few individuals, Ye Wushuang left the place directly…
That Li Yun ancient tomb still needed to be investigated.
The Li clan was one of the Seven Great Sects of Qingzhou. Whether the map was real or fake, a strong member of the clan had defected, and they had to see for themselves.
Ye Wushuang followed the map and delved deeper once again…
In the next three to five days, Ye Wushuang was not in a hurry. He walked and stopped, looking for opportunities to deal with some third-stage spiritual beasts.
At the same time, he continuously stabilized his seventh Yuan Fu.
The Yuan Fu was formed by the gathering of spiritual energy, which was the foundation of a martial cultivator.
Before reaching the Tian Gang realm, the stronger the Yuan Fu, the stronger the Tian Gang energy would be when condensed.
On this day, with bright sunshine, in a quiet valley,
Ye Wushuang sat cross-legged, his internal energy becoming calm and smooth.
The seven Yuan Fu continuously expanded and grew stronger, accommodating more spiritual energy and gathering it within.
Slowly, Ye Wushuang opened his eyes and exhaled.
*”Phew…”*
With a breath out, Ye Wushuang’s eyes became clear and pure.
*”Now I have truly stabilized at the seventh level…”*
With his current seventh level, combined with his fully developed sword intent, the Tian Ya Sword, and the Six Elements United Sword Technique, he could kill Lu Qingsong.
No need to use the Body-Crushing Technique!
No need to use the Tai Xu Sword Qi.
Now at the seventh Yuan Fu, the number of Tai Xu Sword Qi he could summon from the second level of the Nine Layers of the Spirit-Taming Pagoda had reached seven hundred!
This sword qi was extremely powerful in offensive and lethal attacks and was Ye Wushuang’s most formidable weapon at present.
*”According to the map…”*
Ye Wushuang got up and left the valley, looking at the dense forest ahead and murmuring to himself, *”It’s not far ahead…”*
Ye Wushuang stepped forward cautiously.
However, what Ye Wushuang did not know was that during these five days, while he was focused on hunting spiritual beasts and stabilizing his realm, a shocking piece of news had already spread throughout the Youlong Mountain…
