Getting the Scarlet Wraithblade
Kill Hua, Deadly Betrothed in Weeping Creek Valley. The site files the same fight as Hua, the Bride, and the secrets page has where she waits, below the Valley Sha-Chi Tower; the Blade is the drop.

Every Blade multiplies its stats by 6.9 over 59 upgrades.
Moves: Standard Combo, Sha-Chi Combo, Red Spider Lilies. The Power Surge is Rouge Bloomstorm. Red Spider Lilies drain an enemy's Sha-Chi, which is what a heavy like this is for: Jagged Steel deals the damage while the Wraithblade takes the guard off.
