High Martial: I Can Copy All Root Bones!

...

Night fell.

In the backyard of the Changle Martial Arts Hall, under the moonlight.

"Are you certain?" Lu Changfeng asked Sikong Jue.

Sikong Jue nodded.

"For the past two years, Sikong Jie has been flaunting the Demon Fiend Bloodline he stole from my body. He managed to get on the Hidden Dragon List and became the number one Swordsman in Jiangzhou’s Blood Forging Realm. He’s been insufferably smug."

"I’ve reached my limit."

"Now that His Excellency from the Dark Buddha Demon Sect has advanced to the Rebirth Realm, I implore you, Saint Master, to help me annihilate the Sikong Family."

At his side, Xuansha put his palms together. "I am willing to help the Cyan Dragon Guardian resolve this karma."

Lu Changfeng considered it for a moment. He could indeed feel Sikong Jue’s undisguised hatred.

The Sikong Family had no experts in the Rebirth Realm. As he was now, Lu Changfeng was indeed capable of destroying them.

’Then I might as well fulfill this wish for the Cyan Dragon Guardian.’

"How do you want to do this? Kill all your clansmen, or leave some alive?" Lu Changfeng asked.

Sikong Jue paused to think before speaking. "Those who deserve to die will not be spared. As for the rest... let them be."

In the end, Sikong Jue couldn’t bring himself to be completely ruthless.

"I do have a suggestion, though," Lu Changfeng said after a moment of thought.

"Please, enlighten me, Saint Master," Sikong Jue said.

Lu Changfeng laid out his idea.

The Saint Demon Sect originally had nine major Demon Sects.

With the decline of the Saint Demon Sect, three of them had already been lost to the river of time.

Now, only the Six Great Demon Sects remained.

Of the Six Great Demon Sects, only the Dark Buddha Demon Sect had proactively pledged allegiance to Lu Changfeng.

The remaining major Demon Sects seemed to still be hesitating.

In that case, Lu Changfeng might as well build a new Demon Sect himself to bolster the forces under his command.

The Sikong Family was one of the eight great Martial Arts Families in the Jiangnan Martial Arts World.

Its members possessed the Demon Fiend Bloodline of the Ancient Sword Bone Dragon, so there would be no issue with compatibility.

Once a few talented individuals were nurtured, Lu Changfeng could then transfer the bloodline in batches, and powerful experts would be born in a continuous stream!

Their potential was great enough that they could be cultivated into a major Demon Sect loyal to Lu Changfeng!

"But I already hold the position of Cyan Dragon Guardian. Can I also serve as the head of a Demon Sect?" Sikong Jue asked hesitantly.

Xuansha, at his side, nodded. "Absolutely. There is precedent for it in the history of the Saint Demon Sect."

"Besides, if you cultivate a suitable successor in the future, you can simply appoint them as the new head of the Demon Sect."

’Should I really turn the Sikong Family into a major Demon Sect under the Saint Demon Sect?’

As Sikong Jue recalled how Sikong Tuxiong always claimed to be of the Righteous Dao, yet never acted like a decent human being, his gaze gradually brightened.

"Excellent. Then I ask for your assistance, Saint Master and Dark Buddha Demon Sect," Sikong Jue said.

"There’s no time to lose. We’ll make our move tonight," Lu Changfeng decided.

Another hour passed, and the night grew darker.

Outside the Sikong Family estate, several figures zipped through the air.

The one in the lead was none other than a masked Sikong Jue.

With a single leap, Sikong Jue vaulted over the main gate of the Sikong Family estate.

"Who goes there?" The clansman guarding the Sikong Family gate noticed his figure.

Sikong Jue slowly removed his mask. "It’s me."

"Huh? Sikong Jue, you’re not dead yet!" One of the guards actually recognized him.

After all, he was the first clansman to awaken the Demon Fiend Bloodline in decades, and with everything that happened afterward, the family members naturally had a deep impression of him.

"I’ve come to take back what is mine. As long as you don’t stand in my way, I can spare your lives," Sikong Jue said slowly.

"Are you kidding me!" one of the guards shouted.

Before he could finish, a flash of cyan saber light sliced across his neck, and his head immediately hit the ground.

The one who struck was Lu Changfeng, wielding a long saber.

With his Middle-Level Saber Intent, Fengtian Saber Intent, combined with his incredibly profound Inner Strength, Lu Changfeng could unleash an incomparably tyrannical Saber Aura just by gripping his long saber. The Tendon Transformation Martial Artist stood no chance against him.

Lu Changfeng, Xuansha, and Zhisha were the three assisting Sikong Jue this time. As for Teng Xiaofan, the Vermilion Bird Guardian, his Jade Bone transformation was not yet complete. He had to stay at the Martial Arts Hall and sweep the grounds for a good long while, living the life of a chore boy.

The other guard saw Lu Changfeng’s appearance and collapsed to the ground in terror. "You’re the Saint Demon Sect Master!"

Before taking action, Lu Changfeng had used his Transformation ability to assume the appearance of the domineering Saint Master.

Because this persona had previously appeared in Jiangzhou, some skilled artist had already created a portrait of the Saint Master based on the descriptions of those who had seen his true face.

Once the portrait was out, it was featured constantly in all the major newspapers, spawning all sorts of speculative news stories.

By now, practically everyone in the Martial Arts Realm knew what the Saint Master looked like.

"Who are you people!"

As the scent of blood spread, more and more Sikong Family members began to pour out.

"Kill!" With hatred in his eyes, Sikong Jue brandished his longsword and charged toward his own clansmen.

Lu Changfeng also found a Grand Martial Artist who looked fairly strong, met him head-on, and slashed with his saber.

Lu Changfeng had still underestimated his own strength.

With his Fengtian Saber Intent, profound Inner Strength, and unpredictable Body Technique, the Grand Martial Artist couldn’t even block a few strikes before being decapitated by Lu Changfeng.

Wanting to test his strength, Lu Changfeng found another target: a Sikong Family member at the Bone Refining Realm.

This person was at about the Second Layer of the Bone Refining Realm, and his sword strikes were packed with power.

Unfortunately for his opponent, Lu Changfeng’s Saber Intent was superior. Despite being several realms lower, he fought his opponent to a standstill.

After several dozen more exchanges, Lu Changfeng stopped testing the waters. He formed a sword seal with his fingers, and his Death Sword Intent drove the Inner Strength in his body to form a blood-red Sword Aura that slashed toward his opponent.

His opponent’s expression changed drastically. He raised his sword to block with all his might, only to have his blade shattered and the Sword Aura slice him in two at the waist.

With his Advanced Sword Intent and tyrannical Inner Strength, Lu Changfeng could display power far beyond his current Realm.

The reason Lu Changfeng and Sikong Jue could kill so freely and pick their opponents at will was entirely thanks to Xuansha controlling the field.

Xuansha floated in the air. Whenever he saw a particularly strong Sikong Family member rush forward, or when Lu Changfeng and the others were about to be overwhelmed by a siege, he would float over with extreme speed and end the threat with a single, pulverizing punch, breaking the encirclement.

His Spirit Body contained immense power; basically, one punch was enough to kill a person.

The Sikong Family’s Patriarch, Sikong Tuxiong, didn’t even have time to shout at Sikong Jue before Xuansha killed him with a single punch that exploded his head.

"Sikong Jie! I am Sikong Jue! Give me back my bloodline!" The blood-crazed Sikong Jue locked onto Sikong Jie in the crowd.

Seeing this, Xuansha and Lu Changfeng worked together to clear a path for Sikong Jue, helping him get a one-on-one fight with Sikong Jie.

’He hoped that Sikong Jue could use this battle to clear the inner demon from his heart, allowing him to step into the Jade Bone Realm in the future without any lingering attachments.’
