Yang Lingfeng defeats the White Tiger of Purgatory with his Demon-Slaying Sword Formation. The masked enemy commander attempts to retreat but is pursued and brutally incapacitated by Yang Lingfeng's flying sword, losing all his limbs. Both remaining Tier Eight Beastman Golems are also disabled, securing a complete victory for Qin Tian's side.

Whoosh

Qin Tian slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which turned into a cloud of white mist in the biting ice wind and gradually dissipated.

This kind of intense and earth-shattering battle felt like walking on a tightrope, where even a slight mistake could lead to death or disappearance.

Even though he had revealed all his trump cards, he could still feel the immense pressure that loomed unceasingly.

Fortunately, he was strong enough, and his comrades were formidable and reliable. The fierce battle ended without any real danger, achieving a perfect conclusion.

Yang Ling’s cloak fluttered as he gracefully descended from mid-air, landing in front of Qin Tian. His eyes carried a mix of strangeness and astonishment as he looked straight at him, "Is this your bloodline ability as well?"

Recalling the battle just now, the Ghost Coffin, which even made him deeply fearful, was easily broken by Qin Tian, with its spirituality entirely drained.

Afterward, Qin Tian casually released a golden light, causing his Azure Blade Sword’s power to surge. Even now, the golden runes on the sword’s body had not completely dissipated.

This miraculous ability, which directly enhanced the essence of a weapon and could greatly improve its quality in an instant, was something that even someone as knowledgeable as him had never heard of. It was simply unbelievable.

"That’s right," Qin Tian admitted frankly, without the slightest hint of concealment, nodding his head.

Yang Ling stared at him like a monster, and after a while, he slowly opened his mouth: "To be honest, if I didn’t know your background, I would really suspect you were the secret weapon cultivated by the Blood Demon Cult."

Qin Tian’s mouth twitched slightly, but he did not refute.

To be fair, Yang Ling was not wrong.

The abilities he had demonstrated were too numerous: space, lightning, physical body, divine soul, soldier’s path... all unrelated, having long surpassed the limits of a single bloodline.

Looking across the entire Cosmos, only the Blood Demon Cult’s bizarre and domineering bloodline fusion technology could possibly achieve this.

And this was also what he had to stay constantly alert about.

In the future, in front of outsiders, he must minimize the frequency of displaying multiple abilities simultaneously to avoid unnecessary suspicion and trouble.

"By the way..." Yang Ling shifted his gaze to the Black Frost Blade in Qin Tian’s hand and asked, "Is your ability just a temporary enhancement, or can it permanently increase weapon strength?"

In his view, even if it was just a temporary enhancement, it was already terrifyingly extreme.

Earlier, his Azure Blade Sword, under the shine of that golden light, saw its overall strength and quality soar tenfold, and several powerful rune powers appeared out of thin air.

What does it mean to temporarily enhance a weapon tenfold?

It is enough to reverse the course of a life-and-death battle in an instant.

If Qin Tian’s ability is not merely a single enhancement but can broadly augment weapons, its impact is even harder to estimate and could even rewrite the course of a war in an instant.

The reason he pursued the question so keenly was that he keenly perceived that even the Black Saber in Qin Tian’s hands, after being enhanced, instilled a faint sense of fear in the enhanced Azure Blade Sword.

It should be known that his Azure Blade Sword was already a top-grade treasure artifact, having reached the top Spiritual Artifact level under the Immortal Soldier blessing, unbreakable and able to cut anything.

However, before being enhanced, it was not so clearly perceptible. After its quality improved, the Azure Blade Sword faced the Black Saber as a lamb faces a lion, cowering back.

A Divine Artifact of such level is likely a clan treasure of the Nine Great Holy Blood Clans, seldom shown to outsiders.

He did not believe that such a Divine Weapon would fall into Qin Tian’s hands for no reason.

The greatest likelihood was that Qin Tian, relying on his own abilities, forcibly elevated this blade to such a terrifying level.

If so...

Yang Ling looked down at his Azure Blade Sword, unable to suppress the heat flickering in his eyes.

"It can be permanently enhanced," Qin Tian revealed a faint smile, "So, want to consider leaving your sword with me for a while?"

"Sure, I’ll leave it to you," Yang Ling agreed without a moment of hesitation.

Qin Tian nodded slightly.

To this day, apart from enhancing weapons for his people, he rarely showcased Soldier Immortal’s true abilities in front of outsiders, mainly to avoid unnecessary complications.

But Yang Ling’s special status, the fact that they both belonged to the Mythical Society, sharing the same secrets, already made their friendship extraordinary; he had long regarded Yang Ling as a truly trustworthy friend.

This time, he unreservedly revealed his plan of luring the enemy out of hiding, hoping for Yang Ling’s assistance, and Yang Ling agreed without any hesitation, never mentioning any demands or rewards.

That alone made him worthy of Qin Tian’s utmost assistance.

Furthermore, the strength Yang Ling exhibited had already surpassed the great majority of Holy Blood experts of the same level, making him one of the most reliable and powerful forces by Qin Tian’s side.

The stronger the friends, the more confidence he has on his side.

As their conversation ended, both turned their heads to look at the ice surface a short distance away.

The masked man’s limbs were completely severed, and his wounds were terribly corroded by Sword Intent, making regeneration impossible. He could only lay on the ice surface, letting out heart-rending screams that echoed across the vast glacier.

"How do you plan to deal with him?" Qin Tian asked.

"Take him back to the Judgement Court for interrogation," Yang Ling said calmly, "He is a Tier Eight expert, definitely holding a high position within the Blood Demon Cult. We can surely extract a lot of core secrets from him."

Qin Tian’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "I have a subordinate whose son was abducted by the Blood Demon Cult. For this reason, they set up today’s trap to lure me here. I worry that if he fails to report back to the Blood Demon Cult on time, the child might be in danger."
