Chapter 1016 - Paths End

Really?

Li Qingshan sank into his thoughts. It made him think about what Yin Qing had said. All the asura that wielded the Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End had either been killed or died from madness. There was nothing strange about being killed. The Asura realm was about killing left and right in the first place, but dying from madness was quite a curious way to go.

The Asura realm produced powerful asura endlessly, so at least some of them could refine the Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End. However, all of them seemed to meet a bad end after refining her, so just what caused the madness?

You afraid? The Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower tried to provoke him.

A little. Li Qingshan confessed.

The Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower was taken aback by the reply. She never expected an answer like that from Li Qingshan.

But youre definitely not what Im afraid of the most!

Li Qingshan laughed and sent his soul sense into the s.p.a.ce of blade intent. This time, the Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower did not put up any more resistance, allowing him to leave behind his mark in the blade. He successfully refined the Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End.

Li Qingshan raised the Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End, and the edge flashed. With a casual swing, a streak of light flew out, and a mountain split open several kilometers away, collapsing loudly!

What a fine blade!

Li Qingshans eyes lit up. The destructive power of the Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End far surpa.s.sed Tigers Fang. If he wielded Tigers Fang, he could only unleash a swing like that when it was satiated with blood, while just a casual swing of the Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End could achieve the same effect. He no longer had to worry about being a one-trick pony when he faced the Dragon King of Ink Sea again.

That goes without saying! But your bladesmans.h.i.+p is far too weak. Youre just swinging it around blindly.

The Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower mocked Li Qingshans bladesmans.h.i.+p again. She did have that right.

This was Li Qingshans only pity. He had not truly subdued the Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower. He had only achieved a cooperative relations.h.i.+p as equals, so he was unable to inherit the profound bladesmans.h.i.+p recorded within the blade. However, he was confident that there would be a day when he could completely subdue the Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower and become the true blademaster of frenzy flower as his cultivation continued to increase.

You want to learn it? If you do, I can teach it to you! the Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower said.

Sure! Li Qingshan could obviously tell she was up to no good, and the Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower did not seem to be trying to hide it either.

I have two different ways of teaching you. Ones quick and ones slow. How would you like to learn?

How does the quick way work? How does the slow way work?

You send your soul sense into the blade and spar with me. Ill teach you hand by hand. Thats the slow way.

You can stop right there. Ill choose the slow way. Patience produces fine results.

Though, Im temperamental, so I might be in a good mood sometimes and in a bad mood at other times. Even if I scold and curse you, youll have to put up with it. My guidance will be all over the place too

Alright, just cut the nonsense. How do you want to teach me?

Li Qingshan was not someone who could not put up with some scolding and cursing, but given the Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flowers att.i.tude, he probably would not learn anything even if she taught him for a century.

The quick way obviously! I can guarantee that youll achieve the essence of the blade intent without anything unnecessary, and this also happens to be the strongest move of the Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End. It can make your battle prowess skyrocket instantly and let you kill powerful enemies!

Theres actually something as great as that? Whats the name of this move? Li Qingshan smiled.

A Madman at Paths End!

That sure sounds auspicious. I go crazy and then reach the end of the path, right?

Li Qingshan shook his head with a smile. She really was a blade from the Asura realm after all. She did not even try to hide this trap, even explaining it clearly to him that he would die if he leapt into it.

Exactly. If you want great power, if you want powerful bladesmans.h.i.+p, how can you go without taking a little risk? The Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flowers voice was reeking of ill intent.

Let me think about it.

Li Qingshan shut his eyes, and his mind became as serene as the ocean. He used the spirit turtle to divine, but the result left him a little surprised.

If you decline, you better just send me back to the Armoury of War and Chaos! I definitely wont fight for you! I can accept a weakling, but I can never accept a coward!

I can accept that, but on one condition.

What condition?

If I dont reach the end of my path as you wish I do, then youll accept my control. Youll fight for me without causing any trouble!

This novel is available on Hosted Novel.

I respect the courageous, and I respect the strong even more. None of the past masters of the Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End died because of trouble from me, the Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower said.

Li Qingshan opened his eyes and smiled. Then lets try it!

Alright. Grip the hilt firmly and open your mind!

The figure of the blade spirit appeared once more, half-transparent this time and intangible. She overlapped with Li Qingshans body and gripped the hilt.

Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath and opened his mind.

Suddenly, the Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End produced a strange thrum, and a ripple spread through his sea of consciousness. His soul began to tremble with it. He and the blade gradually formed a strange resonance as his sea of consciousness and the s.p.a.ce of blade intent overlapped slowly.

In a daze, Li Qingshan saw the past masters of the blade wielding the Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End against various powerful foes, unleas.h.i.+ng profound bladesmans.h.i.+p of unpredictable flexibility. He ravished with joy inside. This was the blade intent he wanted to inherit!

Youre celebrating too early. You havent seen anything yet!

The Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flowers lips curled into a smile.

One With the Blade, A Madman at Paths End!

The flower-like blade suddenly bloomed furiously. Gorgeous petals upon petals inverted and wrapped around Li Qingshans hands as complicated patterns extended along his arms, covering his entire body in the blink of an eye. It was identical to the patterns on the blade. His skin shone with a metallic l.u.s.tre as if he had become a part of the blade.

Li Qingshan shuddered inside. He felt himself overlap with the figures of the past masters of the blade, and his sea of consciousness turned into a s.p.a.ce of blade intent. Great confidence surged through him.

I can also unleash a technique like that!

The Frenzy Flower Blade of Paths End was no longer so difficult to wield anymore. He understood every single curve and pattern on it. The blade moved with his will, producing afterimages upon afterimages. It seemed like he was merely swinging it around pointlessly, but only after magnifying it thousands of times was it possible to make out the countless specks of dust in the air that had been gently sliced apart by the blade.

Cutting apart mountains was easy, but cutting apart dust was not!

The former only required strength, but the latter required subtle and wondrous bladesmans.h.i.+p!

Hows that? Have you grown stronger? But this is nowhere near enough. I will completely unleash all of the potential within you!

The Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower laughed madly. Basically all of the asura that had died from madness had died to this move. She really had not gotten in their way as they fought. Instead, she helped them fight, except they would definitely approach the end of their path after the hysterical dance of madness.

Sure! Li Qingshan said.

The Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flowers laughter halted. Hows this possible!?

Whats so impossible about this?

Li Qingshan smiled. Turning his sea of consciousness into the s.p.a.ce of blade intent did cause an extremely great mental burden. The furious blade intent left behind by the past masters was enough to drive even Asura Kings to madness. His murderousness also swelled, while his face became extremely twisted with viciousness, but his scarlet eyes remained clear and deep.

The results of the spirit turtles divination had left him surprised because there was unexpectedly no danger at all!

Why havent you gone mad? the Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower asked in surprise.

Probably because Ive grown accustomed to the madness and the frenzy a long time ago!
