Chapter 10: Breakthrough

When the man thought that a sword that was about to stab Shangguan Xiu's chest was about to be stabbed, his figure quickly turned to the side, and the sand and sword blade almost brushed against his chest.

When the sword missed, the man sneered and muttered, "The body is quite flexible, you can eat my sword again!" As he spoke, he stabbed Shangguan Xiu in the chest with another sword.

This time, Shangguan Xiu did not dodge to the sides, but retreated in a panic. But how could he retreat faster than the opponent's sword?

When the tip of the sword had pierced him less than three inches in the chest, his feet seemed to be moved by something, and he leaned back, lost his balance, and sat down on the ground.

This time, the blade of the sword swept over his head.

After missing two swords in a row, the man was angry and funny, walked up to Shangguan Xiu who was sitting on the ground, raised the saber in his hand high, and said with a smile: "Boy, stop struggling, it's almost time to hit the road!"

Before he could finish speaking, he aimed the saber in his hand at the top of Shangguan Xiu's head and slashed it down.

Everyone present thought that Shangguan Xiu must be in a catastrophe this time, but an incredible scene appeared, Shangguan Xiu, who was originally sitting on the ground, suddenly rushed forward and hit the opponent's lower abdomen, and at the same time, his hands hugged the opponent's waist tightly.

"Yo, you still want to make a last resistance......" The man scoffed disapprehantly, but before he could finish his sentence, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. The other party's hands around his waist seemed to have suction, and the aura in his body burst the flood and flowed outward.

This...... What was going on? For a moment, the man's small eyes widened wide and round, and his face was full of horror, and he couldn't understand why the aura in his body suddenly leaked out. At this time, he finally realized that something was wrong, the other party was not an ordinary scholar in the academy at all, but it was too late for him to make any more conversions.

Shangguan Xiu's arms tightened more and more, and the suction of his palms became bigger and bigger, and the man still wanted to exude the spiritual energy and cover the spiritual armor, but unfortunately, when he had this thought, the spiritual energy in his body had lost all his essence, and there was nothing left.

He secretly screamed in his heart, and was about to turn back to remind his companion, when Shangguan Xiu, who was strangling his waist, suddenly strengthened his strength, and suddenly retracted his arms with an inch of strength, when he heard a click, and the man's vertebrae were strangled by him.

The saber in his hand fell to the ground, pitiful for his cultivation in the spiritual realm, and he didn't even have a chance to use it, and was first absorbed by Shangguan Xiu.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" The person who was still holding Gu Qingling behind saw his companion standing in place, but the sword in his hand had fallen, he didn't understand what was going on, and asked in a low voice.

Shangguan Xiu was still hugging the person's corpse, not letting him go to the end, and shook his arms to the sides, making his body shake.

The man was even more puzzled by his companion's swaying body, he looked down at Gu Qingling on the ground, and warned in a cruel voice: "You lie here for me and don't move, or I will strangle you!" As he spoke, he stood up and walked over to his companion.

When he got closer, he saw a pair of arms around his companion's waist, and before he could see what was going on, Shangguan Xiu used all his strength to throw the body forward.

"Ahh

The man was startled by his companion who suddenly flew upside down, and he was not prepared enough to react, so he heard a bang, and the two collided together, and both fell to the ground.

He was pressed underneath and pushed his companion away with all his might, whispering angrily, "What the hell are you doing......"

But when he turned his head, he saw his companion's round eyes, but they were completely devoid of light, and their pupils were dilated, covering them with a layer of dead ash.

"Ahh

The man was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to pull Shangguan Xiu's hands away, but what happened to his companion just now reappeared in him.

Shangguan Xiu's hands holding his neck came with a huge suction, and the aura in his body was completely out of his control, and it was pulled by this invisible suction, and it continued to leak out.

After only a while, the aura in his body was also sucked by Shangguan Xiu. Feeling that the other party's body seemed to be hollowed out, only the body was left, and there was no aura to absorb, Shangguan Xiu's hands suddenly pinched hard, click, and the person's neck bone was pinched and broken by him again.

Absorbing the aura of the two of them in one go, Shangguan Xiu's eyes were bloodshot and turned red, he staggered and stood up, and walked towards Gu Qingling not far away.

As he approached, Gu Qingling was shocked by his appearance at this time and broke out in a cold sweat, only to see that his eyes were red, how high the green tendons on his forehead were stretched, his face was pale and bloodless, and the cyan blood vessels under the skin of his face were clearly visible.

He first untied Gu Qingling's bound hands, and then pulled out the cloth ball from her mouth.

"You...... You're ......."

As soon as Gu Qingling spoke, Shangguan Xiu had already spat out blood first, his body first fell to his knees, and then fell into Gu Qingling's arms.

The cultivation of the two people who were sucked by him was not weak, and the cultivation realm had reached the fifth level of spiritual realm, and so much foreign spiritual energy poured into the body at once, the backlash caused to Shangguan Xiu himself can be imagined.

These two ferocious auras slammed into his body in all directions, causing twice as much damage as the last time he used Spirit Devouring, so in this situation, how could he hold on.

Gu Qingling was startled by his sudden pounce on her body, and subconsciously wanted to push him away, but when she looked at it, she couldn't help but shudder, Shangguan Xiu's eyes were closed, her mouth and nose were bleeding, and the corners of her eyes were bleeding blood, as if the seven orifices in her body were bleeding.

Seeing him like this, Gu Qingling's tears flowed even more, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You...... Where are you hurt?"

Shangguan Xiu was speechless, he was suffering from the pain of foreign aura hitting the meridians and internal organs at this time, if it wasn't for his super willpower, if he wasn't afraid of attracting the people of the academy, he would have already roared at this time.

Seeing that his body was twitching, Gu Qingling couldn't care so much, she hurriedly said: "You wait here for a while, I'll call someone......" She was about to get up, Shangguan Xiu suddenly grabbed her clothes and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Don't ...... Go...... Calling people...... Help me sit up......"

Gu Qingling was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly raised Shangguan Xiu's head and helped him to sit up. Shangguan Xiu clenched his teeth, sat cross-legged on the ground, and used Na Ling Guiyuan to guide the foreign aura in his body.

As the foreign aura was continuously incorporated into the dantian, the feeling of fullness reappeared, and Shangguan Xiu understood that the accommodation of the dantian had reached its limit, and he could not fit so much aura, and he could break through the cultivation realm again.

He guided the spiritual energy in his body, and without much effort, he successively broke through the third, fourth, and fifth spiritual realm levels of the Spirit Breaking Realm in one breath, and then, his cultivation realm also advanced from the fourth-level Spiritual Breaking Realm to the fifth-level Spiritual Transformation Realm.

It can be said that the cultivation realm of a spiritual cultivator reaching the fifth spiritual realm is a turning point. Cultivation is one of the spirit armor and soldier spiritualization can only be completed when the spirit is broken, but after the cultivation reaches the spirit realm, you can complete the spirit armor and the soldier spiritualization at the same time.

As the most basic skills for a cultivator to fight against people, the spirit armor and the spirit of the soldier are too important, if you can only complete one of them, it is equivalent to being lame on one leg, so the strength of a cultivator who has advanced to the spirit realm is a qualitative leap.

Now, Shangguan Xiu's cultivation realm has reached the spiritual realm, which is also the spiritual martial realm he dreams of.

In the past, he didn't dare to have illusions about the Spiritual Transformation Realm at all, but now, it was so easy for him to advance to the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

He woke up from meditation, raised his eyes, and saw Gu Qingling, who was holding his knees, squatting opposite him, looking at him with teary eyes.

His eyes wandered, the two corpses were still there, and there was no one else around, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Gu Qingling did not call people out, otherwise, his identity would be exposed.

"You...... Are you awake?!" Seeing Shangguan Xiu open his eyes, Gu Qingling was surprised and delighted, leaned forward, looked at him with concern on his face, and asked in a trembling and choked voice.

"Thank you. Shangguan Xiu's first sentence made Gu Qingling stunned, obviously he was saved by him, why did he suddenly thank himself?

"You ......" Seeing her surprised, Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "Thank you for not calling someone over." As he spoke, he stood up. The night wind blew, and he felt his body flutter, as if he was about to fly with the wind.

"Why...... Why don't ......you let me call someone? The person you killed just now to save me!" Gu Qingling's face was full of puzzlement, and he looked at him with a blank eye.

The woods were pitch black, and there were two hideous corpses lying next to them, if it was a person, Gu Qingling would probably be scared and faint, but with Shangguan Xiu here, even if he was meditating with his eyes closed, motionless, and silent, she just had an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

"Because, I'm not a student at the Imperial Academy at all. Shangguan Xiu stood up and scanned the two corpses on the ground. These two bodies can't just be left in the woods, they have to be disposed of. After pondering for a moment, he walked over to a corpse and bent down to pick up a saber on the ground.

"You...... You are not a student of the Imperial Academy?...... you" Seeing Shangguan Xiu walking towards him with a bright long sword, Gu Qingling's body was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "I ......"
