26: Chapter 26 Heaven-Slaying Sword Intent! The First Elder was terrified!

That sword strike was unleashed.

There was no momentum, no radiance.

But the moment the sword tip was raised, the teacups in front of every Golden Core Elder in the VIP seats all trembled in unison.

Tea splashed out, wetting their robes, yet no one looked down.

A stinging pain originating from the depths of their Divine Soul caused these long-renowned big shots to stiffen completely.

The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was wailing!

No, it was not wailing.

It was being forcibly stripped and requisitioned by a supreme will!

That simple sword light had now become the sole Dominator between heaven and earth.

The dark red sea of fire, with its power to burn mountains and boil oceans, could not offer even a moment of resistance before the sword light.

"Ssh—" A sound like tearing silk, faint yet clearly piercing everyone's eardrums.

The sea of fire was ripped open from the middle.

A straight, deep, pitch-black sword scar that devoured all light pierced through the entire arena!

The sword light did not stop.

Its target was pointed directly at the blazing fire flag floating in the air.

"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out.

It did not break; it shattered!

That High Grade Spiritual Artifact, which had made countless Cultivators green with envy, disintegrated from the flagpole to the flag surface in an instant, turning into the most primitive specks of spiritual power that scattered in the air.

Not even a scrap of cloth remained.

"No—!!" Zhao Wuji's eyes were splitting, and he let out a desperate roar.

With his life-bound Spiritual Artifact destroyed and his mind severely shaken, he opened his mouth and spat out a stream of blood.

However, the shadow of death did not dissipate.

The remaining power of that sword light, which extinguished everything, had already landed on him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The precious protective armor on his body exploded layer by layer!

His protective spiritual light, thin as a cicada's wing, collapsed at the slightest touch!

Zhao Wuji was sent flying by an irresistible force, tracing a miserable arc in the air before slamming heavily into the light barrier at the edge of the arena, then rolling down without a sound.

His Meridians were severed inch by inch, and his Dantian was shattered.

One sword strike, and he was crippled.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

The wind stopped, the clouds stalled, and even the breathing of tens of thousands of people disappeared.

All gazes were gathered on the arena.

Half looked at the pale-faced girl in white, standing while leaning on her sword.

The other half looked at that pitch-black sword scar that stretched from one end of the arena to the other, bottomless, as if it were about to split the entire Azure Cloud Mountain apart.

A thought grew wildly in everyone's hearts.

Was this a sword strike that a human could unleash?

"Gulp."

In the VIP seats, someone finally broke the deathly silence.

The next moment, it wasn't just one, but all the Golden Core Elders, including Sect Master Qingyunzi, all sprang up from their chairs as if they had been pricked by needles!

They rushed to the railing in a loss of composure, gripping it tightly, their old faces flushed and twisted with extreme excitement!

"Sword... Sword Intent! It is the legendary... Heaven-Slaying Sword Intent!"

The Sword Elder of Heaven Sword Peak, lips trembling, pointed at the sword scar, his voice so hoarse he almost knelt down.

"Ancient texts record that ancient Sword Immortals could slay the sun, moon, and stars, and their intent was called 'Heaven-Slaying'! I thought it was a myth! I thought it was fabricated!!"

"Today! This old man actually witnessed it with his own eyes on a Foundation Establishment brat!!"

"A miracle! This is the eternal miracle of our Azure Cloud Sect!"

On the arena, Ye Qingyao leaned on her sword, panting heavily.

That sword strike just now had drained the last trace of spiritual power in her body and exhausted all of her mental energy.

Her body was weak to the extreme, but her spirit was excited to the Peak!

She had done it!

She had not failed her Revered Master's "guidance"!

She forced herself to stand, slowly turned her head, and looked toward the VIP seats.

Her gaze crossed the crowd and landed precisely on that man who had been calm and indifferent from beginning to end.

In her eyes were the relief of surviving a disaster, the wild joy of catching a glimpse of the Dao, and even more, the mountain-like and sea-like reverence and gratitude toward her Revered Master!

If not for her Revered Master, how could she have comprehended such supreme Sword Intent!

Feeling that scorching gaze, Su Changge's eyelids twitched slightly, and he had to open his eyes.

His heart was no longer just a raging storm; it was a Universe explosion.

The script is wrong!

I was just feeling a bit bored earlier, mimicking the Masters in storybooks, flicking the railing with my finger, wanting her to get distracted and look at me, so she wouldn't fight so hard.

How did she suddenly comprehend it?

And she even came up with some "Heaven-Slaying Sword Intent"?

It sounds expensive just by the name!

One sword strike down, the opponent is crippled, the Spiritual Artifact is destroyed, and it left such a big scar on the arena.

Who is going to pay for these repair costs?!

Is this disciple's Comprehension Ability a bit too much?

If she keeps overthinking like this, my disguise as a peerless Master is about to fall apart!

With ten thousand horses galloping in his heart, Su Changge calmly met his disciple's gaze on the surface, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, forming a gratified smile that said, "Everything is under control."

Then, he nodded slightly.

Mm, the child is teachable.

Hiding his merit and fame.

Just at the moment when the entire venue was about to erupt in earth-shattering cheers.

"Wait!"

A roar, wrapped in boundless fury, exploded across the entire venue!

A stream of light flashed, and the Grand Elder Zhao Wujiang had already appeared on the arena, supporting the unconscious Zhao Wuji.

He detected the tragic state of his grandson's shattered Dantian and severed Meridians, and his old eyes instantly turned blood-red!

"What a vicious girl!"

He raised his head abruptly, his resentful gaze first sweeping over Ye Qingyao, and finally locking tightly onto Su Changge in the VIP seats.

"A martial arts sparring match, to stop at a point! Yet you used such a vicious hand to cripple my grandson's cultivation!"

"And this sword strike! Its power is so treacherous and overbearing, it absolutely does not belong to the Righteous Path!"

"I suspect you, Master and disciple, have secretly learned a Demonic Technique!"
