110: Chapter 110 Overbearing Sword Intent

Just as Chen Zhiwen was browsing through the Secret Manuals in the Scripture Pavilion of the Xiantian Sword Sect and comprehending his own sword Dao...

In the outside world, with less than five days remaining before the opening of Qinghua Mountain...

The battle for the top fifty Prodigy positions on the hidden dragon ranking was still in full swing.

Among them, the status of the top forty prodigies was basically unshakable; these prodigies began to set off for the Zetian Sect one after another.

However, the ten spots outside the top forty were constantly changing every moment.

Some Sect prodigies who had been accumulating strength for a long time came out of seclusion at this final moment to challenge the prodigies on the ranking.

Among them, the Disciples of the Qingping Academy from the Great Xuan Dynasty were the most outstanding, with two prodigies from that single faction occupying two spots on the hidden dragon ranking.

One was the Eldest Senior Brother of Qingping Academy, Xiao Ping, who possessed the Noble Spirit of the Purple Qi from the East.

Once the Noble Spirit was unleashed, it was hard to find an opponent in the Qi Ling Realm; he was ranked forty-first on the hidden dragon ranking.

Everyone believed that if the prodigies ahead of him hadn't already arrived at the Zetian Sect, Xiao Ping's ranking would have risen by at least a dozen more places.

The second person to make the list, however, exceeded everyone's expectations.

This person turned out to be a woman, and her name was one that the world had heard of before.

But before this, this woman was famous throughout the world for her talent, not her cultivation strength.

This woman was none other than the talented lady of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Yi Qingyue.

News about her was still stuck at the last time she was defiled by the Fifth Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, who was Chen Zhiwen.

Since that incident, Chen Zhiwen was banished from the capital, and she likewise left the capital city, returning to Qingping Academy and vanishing from the public eye.

No one expected that when she reappeared, she would have already attained an extraordinary level of cultivation.

In the Great Xuan Capital City, with a Three-foot Clear Sword in hand, she defeated several outstanding Disciples from various Sects in succession, ranking forty-second on the hidden dragon ranking.

Xiao Ping and Yi Qingyue did not stay long in the Great Xuan Capital City; they were later summoned into the palace once by the Emperor of Great Xuan.

No one knew what the Emperor of Great Xuan had told them; after leaving the Great Xuan palace, they set off for the Zetian Sect under the escort of experts from the Qingping Academy.

The struggle for the final eight spots continued to play out across the Four Great Dynasties...

...

As time passed, no matter how intense the outside struggles were, the Xiantian Sword Sect fell into a state of silence two days later.

The once powerful sword Dao Sect of the Sword Domain had been turned into ruins after continuous slaughter and looting by the Sect's members, and its former glory was no longer visible.

Two days later, the main Peak where the Scripture Pavilion was located remained silent and still, like a sleeping giant that people did not dare to approach easily.

This mountain Peak seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, and no one dared to set foot on it again.

The reason was simple: during this period, many Xiantian Sword Sect Disciples, blinded by bloodlust and greed, had recklessly broken into this main Peak, attempting to seize those incredibly precious sword Dao Secret Manuals in the Scripture Pavilion.

However, their end was extremely tragic.

As soon as these people stepped onto the main Peak, they suddenly encountered an invisible Sword Qi.

This Sword Qi instantly shredded them into pieces, making it difficult for even their corpses to remain intact.

Over time, more and more corpses piled up at the foot of the main Peak, forming a gruesome sight. The mountain of corpses emitted a foul stench, as if telling of the horror and ruthlessness of death.

Those who still harbored designs on the Scripture Pavilion were instantly frightened to the point of their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering after seeing this unbearable scene at the foot of the mountain; like birds startled by a bow, they turned and fled wildly, fearing they would become part of this terrifying scene.

At the summit of the main Peak, outside the Scripture Pavilion.

Ye Hao was shirtless, holding a long spear on the nearby open ground, constantly tempering his Spear Technique.

During these few days of traveling with Chen Zhiwen and the others, it would be a lie to say Ye Hao felt no pressure looking at these prodigies of a similar age; thus, he did not dare to waste any time, constantly improving his strength every moment.

After this period of hard cultivation and under Chen Zhiwen's guidance, Ye Hao's cultivation had improved extremely rapidly.

His cultivation had actually broken through to the Qi Ling Peak Realm, and at the same time, his Spear Technique had reached Perfection, even touching the threshold of the Spear Domain.

After practicing the familiar Spear Technique once, Ye Hao put away his long spear and walked to Leng Feng's side.

Looking up at the Scripture Pavilion before him, Ye Hao said, "Lord Cold Edge, by my count, Your Highness has been inside for two days. Should we go in and remind him?"

Although Ye Hao had never seen Leng Feng go all out, he knew deep down that this person's strength must have reached an unfathomable level.

It was likely that even his Master, an old Grandmaster expert like Yu Zhantian, was no match for him, so Ye Hao had always been very respectful toward him.

Leng Feng pondered for a moment upon hearing this and nodded, "Two days have indeed passed."

After saying that, Leng Feng prepared to step toward the Scripture Pavilion.

Just as Leng Feng was about to move, suddenly, a powerful and peerless Sword Intent erupted from the Scripture Pavilion like a volcanic eruption.

This Sword Intent was like the most brilliant star in the Universe, shining with a dazzling light, and its overbearing nature was unparalleled in the world.

As soon as it appeared, the vast sky seemed like a disturbed giant dragon; clouds rose, thunder and lightning struck, and all things in heaven and earth fell silent under the pressure of this Sword Intent, as if time itself had frozen at this moment.

Under the shroud of this Sword Intent, everyone within a thousand-mile radius felt an unprecedented fear.

Their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and they looked toward the Scripture Pavilion with terrified eyes.

At the same time, the swords in their hands also seemed to be intimidated by this Sword Intent, emitting deafening sword cries.

The sound was like a subject paying homage to a king, full of awe and submission, as if these swords were also bowing their heads to this Hegemonic Sword Intent.

Even for Leng Feng and the Dark Net Members present, the swords in their hands were the same.

These usually indestructible swords now seemed to have lost their Masters' control, trembling incessantly and letting out mournful cries.

"This...!" Leng Feng, who was usually as calm as still water, showed a look of disbelief on his cold face.

His eyes widened, staring straight at the Sword Intent that pierced through the sky.

Beside him, Ye Hao marveled with a face full of awe, "Your Highness is truly a peerless genius, to have actually comprehended such a Hegemonic Sword Intent in just two days!"

"Even though I don't understand the sword Dao, in the face of this Sword Intent, I cannot even muster a single thought of resisting it. It's too terrifying!"

Leng Feng remained silent upon hearing this, falling into a complicated silence.

Unlike Ye Hao, he knew exactly what this Sword Intent comprehended by Chen Zhiwen represented.
