Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Chen Qi never expected that the Blade Witch in front of him would respond to his words directly.

"Blade Breath..."

The Blade Witch hummed softly. Her abdomen rose and fell continuously, then spread to her arms, face, and the rest of her body. A faint red qi power emanated from her entire body.

A new technique? Chen Qi was momentarily stunned.

This isn't right. Why does it feel like the Blade Witch has become stronger?

Was it because I angered her? Chen Qi couldn't react in time.

Should I really not have read in front of her?

The Blade Witch assumed a blade stance, her qi power transformed, condensing into thunder.

Hound Step, no, I have to withstand this strike... Chen Qi took a deep breath.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Blade Release form he had just comprehended, "Break Bones," was a counterattack technique that sacrificed the body's strength and could only be unleashed in direct confrontation.

It was divided into two stages.

The first stage, "Sacrifice My Flesh!"

In this stage, the user needed to summon all their strength, with the heart as the core driver, pouring out all their spiritual power.

During this stage, the user's qi power defense would also increase significantly.

Once used, it would cause tremendous side effects on one's physical stamina and spiritual power source.

Afterwards, they might not even be able to use qi power for defense, and their body might be shattered by the aftermath of the Blade Witch's attacks.

Simultaneously, in this stage, all the attacks received would become part of the Blade Release, enhancing the strike in the second stage.

The second stage, "Break Bones."

In this stage, spiritual power would explode instantly, forming a short, spherical spirit power field around the heart, creating a shocking and suppressive effect!

Ordinary soldiers would even be killed instantly by this spirit power field.

This shock effect would also create a brief window of attack.

Then, within the span of a single breath, the accumulated strength would be unleashed, forming a one-second blade strike! An absolute output of one second!

In short, this was a counterattack Blade Release technique.

A Second-order Transcendent practicing release, and not even their own Nature Form's release...Chen Qi tried hard to regulate his breathing.

Every release technique had to meet a number of prerequisites.

And this technique had only one condition, which was the most common prerequisite for a Blade Release: an extraordinarily intense battle lust and a certain combat process!

During this process, accompanied by strong battle lust and the sheer exhilaration of combat itself, a very special red blade power would emerge from the spiritual power origin.

If one's spiritual power and strength were fuel, then blade power would be the oil and flame.

However, since Chen Qi himself wasn't a Blade Phase Transcendent and didn't have Blade understanding, creating blade power during combat was extremely difficult.

In other words, for beginners like Chen Qi, practicing Blade Release was a tremendously challenging task.

Of course, that was if he wasn't in the Land of Trial!

In countless cycles of death! And in this battleground saturated with blood-red blade power, meeting the prerequisites for Blade Release was effortless!

The Blade Witch charged like lightning, executing a simple, straightforward chopping attack from top to bottom!

No fancy techniques! Just pure violence!

Chen Qi exhaled white mist from his mouth and raised his long blade to his eyes, forcefully blocking the Blade Witch's strike.

Clang!

Their strikes created a pure blade clash!

"Hmph——"

The Blade Witch chuckled softly. Her arms exerted force, pressing down hard, the crimson spiritual power bearing down like a red dragon's breath.

"Sacrifice My Flesh..."

Chen Qi murmured and, without hesitation, unleashed all his strength!

From his hands, thighs, shoulders, neck, lungs, heart!

Every bit of strength, every breath! Released without reservation!

In an instant, every breath began to cause excruciating pain!

This technique of gathering all the body's qi power and stamina drained Chen Qi far beyond his imagination.

"Break..."

Chen Qi struggled to utter, trying to channel more power!

But soon, a feeling of weakness and oxygen deprivation flooded his body, his heart rupturing. Explore stories at empire

Splurt!

His body had surpassed its limits, crying out in agony, blood streaming from his eyes.

"Second-order trash's delusions, pathetic..."

The Blade Witch mused softly, mercilessly pressing down with another strike!

Clang——————

With the sensation of muscles tearing, Chen Qi spat out blood——

Bang!

The Blade Witch kicked the corpse in front of her, sending it flying.

Blood mist spread once more.

[Your understanding of Blade Release "Sacrifice My Flesh, Break Bones" has increased.]

"It still doesn't work..."

Chen Qi returned to the starting point again, recalling the recent experience.

He had used all his spiritual power, but due to releasing it too hastily, he lost his muscles, and his heart reached its limit.

Just now, rather than being killed by the Blade Witch, it was more accurate to say his weak body couldn't withstand the technique's backlash!

Is it this hard...Chen Qi sighed deeply in his heart.

Third-tier Transcendents, besides the sublimation of spiritual power, their bodies also undergo significant enhancement.

But as a Second-order Transcendent, he hadn't undergone this sublimation.

Meaning, he had to give his all, using technique to mitigate the side effects of the first stage, to complete the release.
