Chapter 74: Snapping That Blood Blade

  The originally azure sky was now a dull gray, the air filled with the scorching breath of the Gran Forest fire. In the alleys, corners were piled high with ash blown in by the south wind, as if telling people about the horror and ruthlessness of that great fire.

  This is Tock Town, a remote and sparsely populated town on the Kavka family's territory.

  It is the closest town to Granville Summit.

  It is also the human town closest to the Fairy Kingdom.

  Even Midee initially chose this town as his destination, but unfortunately, he encountered a chase before entering the town and then met the Morning Star Mercenary Corps.

  At this moment, when he really entered the town, Mide felt the tense atmosphere of competition between adventurers.

  According to Meddy's initial conjecture, this place should have been a bustling scene.

  Adventurers from all over have flocked to the town in threes and fives, every tavern and inn is already full, and various rumors about Gran's Forest and the Elf Kingdom are flying around. The rare equipment and items obtained through adventures should also start being sold at stalls, and markets and craftsmen will also flock to the scene.

  But now, despite the adventurers' enthusiasm for exploring Gran's Forest, this small town remains desolate.

  Due to the existence of Blood Blade Mercenary Group.

  Under the plunder and attack of Blood Blade, only those large mercenary groups can really enter this town. Even for large mercenary groups, they need to unite to reach a sufficient number to be safe and intimidating.

  Among them, the northeast corner belongs to the joint base of Du Yan and Shan Lang Mercenary Corps. The two mercenary corps with 300 people each joined forces, with 50 people from each side guarding the base, while the remaining 500 entered the forest for adventure.

  The southwest corner belongs to the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, Hurricane Mercenary Group and Black Sword Mercenary Group. Each has its own defensive base, but when going out on adventures, they are separate, apparently a looser alliance.

  And just to the west is the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps' base.

  Midi strolled down the desolate street, the cold wind blowing his messy hair into a chicken's nest. He walked silently, brushing past adventurers with wooden expressions and townspeople of Tarker Town with worried faces, turning several corners before finally arriving in front of the Blood Blade Mercenary Guild base.

  Rather than a base, it's more like a complex of buildings.

  Xue Jian spent a lot of money to rent all the houses in this area, forming a whole, and then built high walls around it, with towers set up inside.

  Although adventurers are prohibited from using large-scale weapons such as crossbows and bed crossbows, they still possess a large number of heavy machine guns. These machine guns were placed on top of the towers, with their dark muzzles aimed at various vital points, making the entire building look like a terrifying monster that had opened its bloody mouth wide, ready to devour people.

  But such momentum had no effect on Midy, he didn't rush to launch an attack, but quietly stood at one side of the street corner, sizing up the base while waiting.

  A raven had settled on Medea's shoulder at some point.

  Robin whispered in a hoarse voice to Mi Di's ear, "Boss, I've counted them clearly. There are sixty to seventy people inside, at most seventy-five."

  "As expected." Midei nodded.

  As he had speculated, the thirty people who chased and killed Eileen yesterday were also defenders of this base. When they were almost wiped out, there were only seventy people left in the base, and its defensive strength naturally dropped to the lowest point.

  But Meddy still didn't move.

  The crow flapped its wings and took off again, circling in the sky above Tucker Town.

  After several dozen minutes, Robin finally returned to Middy's shoulder, with a hint of excitement in his tone: "Boss, they're here, almost arrived!"

  With the crow's words, soon, a convoy that looked like it was fully loaded, slowly drove into Midee's line of sight, heading towards the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps' base.

  This is the supply convoy of Blood Blade, with as many as fifty people. The main force of Blood Blade exploring in the forest will transport back various treasures obtained from exploration, and then transport all kinds of equipment, potions, food, magic scrolls, and automatic puppets to the front line of exploration, while personnel following the team will also take turns resting.

  This is the team led by Medici.

  Seventy people and one hundred twenty people, there's no difference to him, but four hundred fifty people and five hundred people, there is a bit of a difference. Now if he just puts in a little more effort and kills a few more, it will be easier when facing the Blood Blade's main force in the future.

  Moreover, there are a lot of treasures in the fleet, and there are ripe fruits that can be picked. Why not?

  The convoy approached, and the heavily fortified gate of the Blood Blade base slowly opened. Two squads of dozens of adventurers poured out of the base to welcome their arriving comrades.

  With the sentinel's vast view from the tower, the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps had already discovered Midee. However, what could a young man with an unimpressive appearance do? In their estimation, Midee should be a scout for another large mercenary corps. Now that the atmosphere in Tark Town was tense, it was normal for other mercenary corps to take such actions, and there was no need to be surprised.

  Of course, if this guy doesn't know what's good for him, then he'll naturally need to be taught a lesson. But now, looking at how this swordsman is standing so far away, it's probably just a casual glance, convenient for reporting back to his superiors.

  But soon, the adventurers of Blood Blade found out that they were wrong, and it was a big mistake.

  Just as the convoy and the garrison were about to merge and relax, Mide made a move.

  The unimpressive-looking young man drew out a jet-black long sword, its blade pointing forward, pointing to the location where the enemy was.

  He whispered the obscure and profound incantation, and with this rhythmic recitation, the magical power flowing in the air suddenly stumbled, as if being dragged by some great force, swirling around Midy's body, forming a huge magic vortex.

  A very fine and subtle intent flowed along Mi Di's arm into the palm of his hand, poured into the hilt of the sword along the palm, then flowed along the hilt into the body of the sword, finally condensing into a single point at the tip of the sword.

  Suddenly, all the magic poured into this point in an instant, and a vacuum of magic was formed around Mide.

  The next moment, the Black Sky Sword emitted a faint humming sound, and its blade suddenly shone brightly.

  Mi Di's wrist shook, and the long sword drew a mark in the air. The bright spot that burst out was like an arrow off the string, shooting straight at the open gate of Blood Blade Base and the many adventurers gathered before it!

  The farther forward, the faster the light point's speed, and it was faintly accompanied by a whistling sound. Moreover, its volume also changed greatly, from the initial sparkling light point like a meteor, transformed into a huge fireball, dragging behind a blood-red tail flame, like a raging dragon bursting out of the seal!

  Asura Skill, Explosive Flame Wave Sword.

  "Extreme Idea" Enhanced Edition.

  At this point where Midori's mastery of the extreme intent is becoming more and more refined, he has already grasped even Ashura's skills. In fact, it can be said that the entire Oni no Niten system, he is now capable of wielding all of them.

  The Demon Slayers are divided into four major branches: Swordsmen, Ghost Cry, Ashura, and Berserk.

  Soul of the Sword suppresses evil spirits, through self-strengthening, with powerful swordsmanship against enemies.

  Devil May Cry releases the devil's spirit, combining the devil's aura and magic through a large-scale devil array to control and kill.

  Due to the perfect fusion between Mide and the oni, whether suppressing or releasing, it can be done freely. Also for this reason, Mide had previously possessed both the sword soul and the oni's dual characteristics at the same time.

  And Asura and Berserker, one has to pierce his eyes in exchange for fluctuation perception, the other has to abandon himself in exchange for demonic frenzy, naturally, Mi Di cannot grasp the characteristics of these two branch systems, even if he can grasp them, the price paid is too great, not worth it.

  But now that I have grasped the ultimate meaning, everything is different.

  Now within Mide, all powers are united as one, undivided, no demonic energy, no magical power, all powers have been integrated into "Extreme Intention".

  And since Chi is an integration of various powers, it can naturally simulate any single characteristic, and its effect and quality will far exceed the object being simulated!

  Thus, Miti was able to master the technique of the fluctuating sword without having to pay the price with her eyes. Without losing herself, she could instantly strengthen her own power.

  After mastering the four branches of Kishin, Mide's options became incredibly flexible, able to use skills, combinations that could be paired, and tactics that could be utilized were countless.

  At this moment, since Asura's characteristics are most suitable for the current environment of combat, then of course we'll start with a slash from the Wave Sword!

  Of course, if it's a direct attack with extreme intent and sword energy, there's no doubt that it would be the strongest.

  However, the extreme is Mide's trump card. Normally, Mide would never easily use it, only when he really needs to face a strong enemy will Mide reveal this card and show his strongest combat power without reservation.

  Why use an axe to kill a chicken?

  A single slash relying on extreme intent to trigger a explosive flame wave sword is enough to turn the tide.

  And just as Mide had predicted, the Blood Blade members who were originally arrogant and domineering in Tucker Town were immediately thrown into disarray when they saw the large fireball that was flying straight at their faces.

  Before they could disperse, the fireball had already arrived.

  A deafening roar erupted, spreading throughout the town, and even the ground seemed to be trembling slightly.

  The heavily fortified gate of the Blood Blade Base, those carefully crafted walls that seemed so solid, became a joke in front of this explosive fireball, more fragile than thin paper. In an instant, people, horses, carriages, and buildings were all swallowed up by the intense explosion.

  In the blink of an eye, at least nearly ten people were killed in this strike, or thrown tens of meters away by the shockwave from the explosion, spitting blood and severely injured. The main gate of the base was also completely destroyed, and several nearby houses fell into a sea of flames.

  At this moment, what was once a terrifying Iron Shell Turtle that made adventurers tremble with fear had become nothing more than an ugly man who had lost his front teeth, looking utterly ridiculous.

  There was no sneak attack or clever trickery; Midei directly used the most overbearing method as his opening move.
