Chapter 675: Chapter 351: It’s Close! Heaven’s Retribution Is Nigh!

The Water Flow Giant Sword lasted for two breaths, and the Sword Intent contained within finally reached its limit.

Wow!

As the Sword Intent dissipated, the Water Flow Giant Sword shattered alongside it, and a massive amount of river water poured down, raising two monstrous waves several tens of meters high on the river’s surface.

Yin Li was training nearby, and opened her eyes just in time to witness this scene, her eyes flickering.

“Hasn’t comprehended Sword Intent yet, and the Sword Intent can already materialize…”

Yin Li was extremely shocked, like the surging tide in the river.

Though she is not a Swordsman, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t understand Sword Intent.

Sword Intent Level Swordsmen are terrifying precisely because their Sword Intent has reached the level of transforming illusion into reality, allowing them to hurt with the intangible.

For example, they can imbue a wisp of air or a piece of grass or wood with Sword Intent, instantly granting these unnoticeable things extraordinary lethality, even a gaze can take a life, kill invisibly!

What Luo Cheng just did was imbuing the water with Sword Intent, causing the water to burst forth with sharp edge.

Although due to insufficient Realm, the Water Flow Giant Sword only lasted for two breaths before vanishing.

That itself is already quite astonishing!

Yin Li had never heard of any Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman being able to achieve the materialization of Sword Intent.

Before Sword Intent reaches the realm of transforming illusion into reality, once it leaves the Swordsman, it is like a rootless duckweed, immediately dissipating and vanishing, the difficulty of materializing it can be imagined!

“Could it be because his Soul Power is strong?”

Yin Li speculated.

Sword Intent is closely linked to the Swordsman’s soul, the stronger the Soul Power, the stronger the power of the Sword Intent.

Luo Cheng is only in the Awakening Vein Realm, yet his Soul Power is as strong as a True Master level expert! This is remarkable in itself.

It’s no wonder Luo Cheng’s Sword Intent is so extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Yin Li couldn’t help but look forward to the moment Luo Cheng becomes a Sword Intent Level Swordsman.

She really wanted to see, with Luo Cheng’s Soul Power strength, combined with the powerful Slaughter Attribute Sword Intent, how much power could Luo Cheng explode when he comprehends true Sword Intent! And how overwhelming it would be!

Calming her inner emotions, Yin Li stood up and walked towards Luo Cheng, saying, “It seems you’re not far from comprehending true Sword Intent.”

Luo Cheng smiled faintly and nodded, “It should be soon. However, to truly break through, I still need an opportunity and fortune.”

The battle with the burly middle-aged man brought Luo Cheng extraordinary gains.

Especially the Sword Intent, which experienced a qualitative change, almost allowing him to sense the existence of true Sword Intent.

The Sword Intent is like a veiled stunning beauty; as long as he lifts this layer of veil, the true face will be revealed!

However, when Luo Cheng wanted to lift the veil, he hit nothing, as if everything was an illusion, like looking at a flower in a mirror, catching the moon in water.

To this, Luo Cheng was not anxious.

Though the moon in water and the flower in the mirror are illusory, without the real flowers and moon, how could there be a moon in water and a flower in a mirror?

During this time, he grew too fast and needed time to digest and settle; once the time is right, the Sword Intent will naturally shed that mysterious veil.

Seeing the calm and faint smile on Luo Cheng’s face, Yin Li’s beautiful eyes turned.

Faced with the temptation of becoming a Sword Intent Level Swordsman, many people would become impetuous, including the well-known veterans of the Jianghu.

But Sword Intent is inherently elusive, not something that can be obtained forcefully; the more impatient, the harder it is to comprehend, and some even go astray, achieve a state of insanity due to seeking shortcuts and immediate success.

Yet, in Luo Cheng, Yin Li couldn’t feel the slightest impatience.

Beneath the calm and composed demeanor was extreme confidence, as if comprehending true Sword Intent was just a matter of course for him.

This not only surprised Yin Li but also stirred an unstoppable sense of admiration.

Not to mention talent, just this kind of transcendent mindset is already unparalleled among the geniuses she has heard and seen!

“How’s your injury recovering? Is it serious?” Yin Li asked.

“Hmm, it’s already recovered seventy to eighty percent.”

Luo Cheng’s injury was serious, after the battle with the burly middle-aged man, his blood loss was quite severe.

However, with the Blood Essence Yuan Pearl, a Spiritual Object that nourishes blood and flesh, coupled with his strong physique, his blood recovered quickly, and it is estimated that he will be back to peak condition in a day or two.

Yin Li was somewhat surprised at Luo Cheng’s recovery speed but didn’t inquire further.

During this period, Luo Cheng had brought her too many surprises, she couldn’t ask all the questions even if she tried.

“I have to return to Luoxia Sect to discuss the matter of the Blood Nether Sect with the Supreme Elder. What are your plans next?”

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment and said, “I’m going to Yunquan City.”

“Yunquan City? To meet Yun Tianyan’s battle challenge?”

Yin Li’s eyes glimmered, recalling Yun Tianyan’s challenge to a duel with Luo Cheng in Yunquan City.

The two had agreed to a life-and-death battle in half a month, and now ten days had already passed.

Luo Cheng nodded, “Since he wants to fight, I shall accept the challenge. Otherwise, people would think I’m afraid of him.”

By now, Luo Cheng no longer considered Yun Tianyan, the so-called first of the Three Sects Inner Sect, in his eyes.

Since Yunquan City is not far from here, I’ll go for a stroll.

Once Yun Tianyan is dealt with, I’ll return to the sect to settle the score with Jin Min!

Yin Li suddenly said, “You should go to this battle. And it’s best if you win beautifully.”

“Why?”

Luo Cheng was quite surprised; in his understanding, Yin Li was not someone who relished battle.

Yin Li answered with a question instead, “I heard that some time ago, you became a Direct Disciple of the Supreme Elder and joined the Ming Sect Supreme Elder of your Xuanyuan Sect?”

“Yes.”

Yin Li’s smile was gentle, like the melting ice and snow of early spring, pleasing to the eye, she said:

“Yun Tianyan is also a Direct Disciple of the Supreme Elder of the Fierce Cloud Sect, under the tutelage of True Master Fiery Fire, and Xu Daoyan, the head of the Ten Great True Inheritance of the Fierce Cloud Sect, is his senior brother. Do you know who this Xu Daoyan is?”

Yin Li, rarely keeping others in suspense, seeing that Luo Cheng didn’t know, immediately continued:

“Ten years ago, your master, the Ming Sect True Master, once accepted a Direct Disciple. This person was exceptionally talented, outstanding among the disciples of the same generation in the Three Sects, no one could match his influence. Unfortunately, he died tragically in a life-and-death duel with a disciple from the Fierce Cloud Sect. The one who killed him was this Xu Daoyan!”

Luo Cheng’s eyes flashed; he had heard about this!!

It was precisely because of this matter that Master, the Supreme Elder of the Ming Sect, went into seclusion and never accepted another disciple.

“Haha! The ways of Heaven are fair! This is truly a coincidence!” Luo Cheng let out a cold laugh.

“This is not just a mere coincidence.” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Yin Li gently shook her head, said, “You should be aware of the grudges between your Xuanyuan Sect and the Fierce Cloud Sect. Over the years, many geniuses who have emerged from your Xuanyuan Sect have suddenly fallen or died mysteriously, and quite a few of these incidents are related to the Fierce Cloud Sect.”

Luo Cheng frowned and asked, “Are you saying that my senior brother was plotted against by the Fierce Cloud Sect, which led to his downfall?”

“Not entirely, your senior brother was also too young and arrogant, blindly proud. His cultivation was a Great Realm lower than Xu Daoyan, and he was goaded by Xu Daoyan’s words into agreeing to a life-and-death duel, which led to his tragic death.”

“However, this was likely orchestrated by the upper echelons of the Fierce Cloud Sect. Your two sects have long been targeting emerging geniuses from the other, killing them before they fully mature, but such matters are never done overtly, and they only target the most outstanding geniuses.”

Speaking up to this point, Yin Li suddenly looked at Luo Cheng, said:

“If you had awakened something other than the Wasted Martial Soul, given your performance at the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, you would definitely have been on the Fierce Cloud Sect’s must-kill list, and things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly for you…”
