CHAPTER 2054: CHAPTER 2054: MAXIMUS LEE’S RUTHLESSNESS

The "Top Ten Sacred Artifact List" includes ten super sacred artifacts, some of which are primarily offensive and destructive, possessing extraordinary power, completely crushing the ’thousand-patterned sacred artifacts’ on the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

The Asura Knife is exactly one of them!

The Asura Knife does not have the special ability to suppress demon cultivators like the ’Demon Sealing Monument,’ which is also one of the top ten super sacred artifacts. It only possesses the powerful attack power of the ’ten-thousand-patterned sacred artifact’ as its main function!

At this moment, the ’Asura Knife’ appeared in Maximus Lee’s hand.

The moment the knife was in hand, Maximus Lee’s aura underwent a tremendous transformation!

Above the vast Saint Origin permeating his body, strands of blood-colored energy resembling lightning suddenly appeared, adding a murderous intent to the vast aura emanating from Maximus Lee.

In just an instant, Maximus Lee’s aura underwent a tremendous transformation.

If,

the previous Maximus Lee was like a ferocious beast,

then now, Maximus Lee is not only ferocious but also bloodthirsty, exuding an extremely dangerous feeling!

And all of this is bestowed upon him by the super sacred artifact ’Asura Knife’ that materialized in his hand...

Before the appearance of the Asura Knife, he was completely normal.

After it appeared, he completely changed.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

...

Noticing the change in Maximus Lee’s aura, Asa Honorston, Zachary Tackman, and a group of Blackarmor Army guards from the Mansion of Azure Clouds collectively turned pale, their expressions becoming extremely grave.

Now, they all realized:

This is Maximus Lee’s true strength!

"This is..."

At the same time, the group of Saint Immortal Realm experts from the Northern Qi Sect behind Maximus Lee also snapped back to reality, staring in shock and disbelief at the ’blood knife’ in Maximus Lee’s hand.

"Asu..."

In that instant, the group of Saint Immortal Realm experts from the Northern Qi Sect recognized the ’blood knife’ in Maximus Lee’s hand. One of them couldn’t help but exclaim.

But he only managed to utter the word ’Asu’ before falling silent.

Because he no longer had the chance.

Boom!!

Accompanied by a fleeting, ear-piercing knife cry, it was earth-shattering!

The next moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Not only the Saint Immortal Realm expert from Northern Qi Sect who exclaimed, but even the remaining Saint Immortal Realm experts behind Maximus Lee were all cut in half by a fleeting blood-colored blade light.

Columns of blood spurted out, drenching the sky, continuously shocking the eyes of the group from Mansion of Azure Clouds.

Many Blackarmor Army disciples’ faces turned extremely pale in an instant.

A group of Saint Immortal Realm experts was killed in the blink of an eye!

Moreover,

as the bodies of the group of Saint Immortal Realm experts from Northern Qi Sect behind Maximus Lee were sliced in half, the blood-colored blade light shot out strands of swift blood-colored energy, directly piercing their minds and shattering their souls one by one.

Thus, the group of Saint Immortal Realm experts from Northern Qi Sect following Maximus Lee perished completely!

Died by Maximus Lee’s own hand.

The reason Maximus Lee killed them was also very simple:

He didn’t want the news of acquiring the renowned super sacred artifact ’Asura Knife’ from the "Top Ten Sacred Artifact List" to be exposed!

So, he had no choice but to kill the group of Saint Immortal Realm experts from Northern Qi Sect who were with him.

When he took out the ’Asura Knife,’ he had already guessed that the group of Saint Immortal Realm experts from Northern Qi Sect would recognize it, so he remained cautious.

Before these people could reveal the ’details’ of the Asura Knife, he took the lead in killing them!

To keep the ’Asura Knife,’ Maximus Lee is willing to stand against the world!

Because, to some extent, the Asura Knife can even change Maximus Lee’s destiny...

For this reason, he will not allow anyone to lay a finger on the Asura Knife!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

...

Witnessing Maximus Lee personally killing the group of Upper Domain experts following him, Asa Honorston, Zachary Tackman, and the group of Blackarmor Army guards instinctively gasped.

Seeing Maximus Lee again, their eyes were filled with nothing but dread!

This Maximus Lee, even targets his own people!

What else would he not dare to do?

"This Maximus Lee is ruthless!"

"Too ruthless! Those were his own ’people’ whom he brought... but now they are dead by his hand, their souls shattered, never to reincarnate!"

"I don’t know why Maximus Lee would kill his own people."

...

After the shock, the Blackarmor Army guards whispered amongst themselves.

In the end, they were all curious about one question:

Why did Maximus Lee kill his own people?!

Murder always requires a ’motive,’ doesn’t it?

"This Maximus Lee seems to have only started killing the group of Upper Domain strongmen behind him after he took out that ’Blood Knife’ from his hand... Could there be something odd about that ’Blood Knife’?"

"The ’Blood Knife’ in his hand seems to be forged from blood... Could it be that the knife needs to be stained with a lot of people’s blood before it can unleash its true power?"

"That’s possible!"

...

Meanwhile, the group of Blackarmor Army guards were also brainstorming wildly, speculating about the ’reason’ Maximus Lee killed his own people.

"Asura Blade!"

Just then, a surprised voice rang out, precisely from Lanni Barnes, who was controlling the ’Holy Demon Puppet.’

Lanni’s exclamation also brought the Blackarmor Army guards back to their senses.

Asura Blade!

These three words were not unfamiliar to them.

The Asura Blade is a legendary super sacred artifact, famous on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List, specializing in massacre, with tremendous power, ranking as one of the top sacred artifacts in Martial Dao Sacred Land!

Rumor has it:

A typical Earth Saint Realm peak Martial Artist, once acquiring the ’Asura Blade,’ could even instantly kill a Heavenly Saint Realm early stage being.

Even facing a Heavenly Saint Realm mid-stage being, it has the power to fight!

Thus, the Asura Blade is known to be extraordinarily powerful and terrifying!

And now, their Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master says:

Could the Blood Knife in Maximus Lee’s hand be the famous super sacred artifact ’Asura Blade’ from the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List?

How could they not be astonished!

"Asura Blade... who would have thought this elder of the Fire Worship Sect actually acquired the ’Asura Blade’!"

"Does it need a ’blood sacrifice’ before using the Asura Blade? I’ve never heard about it before!"

"After all, it’s the famous super sacred artifact on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List... Perhaps it requires a ’blood sacrifice’ before use."

"That’s true."

...

Upon learning that the Blood Knife in Maximus Lee’s hand turned out to be the renowned super sacred artifact ’Asura Blade’ from the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List, the Blackarmor Army guards sighed again.

Of course, many Blackarmor Army guards grew solemn as well.

Earlier, their Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master fought against Maximus Lee—though they later gained an advantage—it wasn’t very evident.

But now, Maximus Lee has taken out the ’Asura Blade,’ one of the famous super sacred artifacts from the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List, greatly increasing his power!

Under such circumstances, can their Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master still suppress Maximus Lee as before?

They weren’t certain, so they were somewhat worried.

"You... actually recognize the ’Asura Blade’?"

Upon hearing Lanni Barnes revealing the secret behind the blood knife in his hand, Maximus Lee’s pupils suddenly shrank, his heart plummeting.

He never expected:

Lanni Barnes could recognize the ’Asura Blade’ he held!

Previously, he swiftly killed a group of Saint Immortal Realm strongmen from the Beiqi Sect behind him because he was worried they’d reveal he possessed the ’Asura Blade.’

He didn’t want Lanni Barnes and others to know he had the ’Asura Blade.’

But now, Lanni Barnes recognized the ’Asura Blade’ in his hand!

"Maximus Lee, if I’m not mistaken... you killed them because you were worried they’d spread the news that you possess the ’Asura Blade,’ right? As far as I know, the Asura Blade has no such ’blood sacrifice’ requirements."

Detecting the astonishment in Maximus Lee’s words, Lanni Barnes, controlling the ’Holy Demon Puppet,’ spoke blandly.

He himself naturally couldn’t recognize the Asura Blade.

But when the Demon Cultivator ’Black Nether’ occupying his body disappeared, it left behind some memories.

In those memories, there was a record of the ’Asura Blade.’

Previously, Black Nether also obtained the ’Asura Blade,’ so the memories about the ’Asura Blade’ were particularly vivid.

It’s precisely because of this that Lanni Barnes could recognize at a glance that the Blood Knife in Maximus Lee’s hand is the famous ’Asura Blade,’ one of the super sacred artifacts from the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List!

"Lanni Barnes!"

Maximus Lee glared at Lanni Barnes with cold eyes, speaking in a deep voice: "I must admit, your knowledge is surprising... But sometimes, broad knowledge isn’t necessarily a good thing!"

"For instance, now... originally, I didn’t plan to kill you so quickly! But now, it seems I must kill you quickly to prevent you from babbling!"

"As for drawing Wyatt Barnes out... as long as other friends or family of Wyatt exist, even without you, I’m not worried he won’t fall into the trap!"

Speaking later, the ’Asura Blade’ in Maximus Lee’s hand burst into a bloody glow, his voice carrying extreme coldness, "So... both you and your summoned ’Holy Demon Puppet’ must die now!"

Almost as his voice fell, Maximus Lee acted.

Whoosh!

Maximus Lee moved swiftly, creating a whistling wind, surging towards Lanni Barnes, controlling the ’Holy Demon Puppet,’ aggressively.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

...

Simultaneously, a series of blade sounds followed.

Suddenly, around the ’Holy Demon Puppet,’ numerous bloody glows emerged from nowhere, converging towards the ’Holy Demon Puppet,’ seemingly intent on shredding it!

"So strong!!"

Even though Lanni Barnes knew the Asura Blade’s power long ago, facing the knife-wielding Maximus Lee now, he felt a shock in his heart.
