277: Chapter 277 Sword Intent Shatters the Dao Heart!

The stalemate between the sword light and the soul refining millstone had lasted for a full three minutes.

The deafening roars in mid-air rang out one after another, shaking the entire Jade Cauldron Pavilion mountain until it was on the verge of cracking.

Su Changge stood beneath the sword light; while he appeared as steady as an old dog on the surface, he was constantly calculating his emotion points in his mind.

"It's already at 1.8 million now? I deducted 100,000 to activate the special effect earlier, leaving 1.7 million?"

"No, no, it just increased by another 200,000? It's at 1.9 million now?"

Su Changge's lips couldn't help but curl upward, and he nearly laughed out loud.

So, earning emotion points was this easy?

If he had known, he would have provoked Li Changfeng a few more times.

Li Changfeng stood opposite him, watching the stalemate between the sword light and the soul refining millstone. His eyes were red with anxiety, and blood constantly seeped from the corners of his mouth.

His cultivation had already dropped to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage; if this continued any longer, he would become a Mortal!

"How is this possible? How can I not suppress it?"

"My soul refining millstone was bestowed by an Upper Realm Immortal Venerable! How could it be blocked by a single streak of sword light?"

Li Changfeng roared like a madman, continuously pouring his cultivation into the array induction tool, his entire body trembling from the overexertion.

What he didn't know was that, besides the eight Golden Core Elders of Qingwei Courtyard, the Nine Revolutions Spirit Refining Array also had sixteen Foundation Establishment Elders on the surrounding sixteen mountain peaks maintaining the array nodes.

Those Elders were the core of maintaining the operation of the soul refining millstone.

At this moment, the sixteen Foundation Establishment Elders stood on their respective peaks, their faces as pale as paper.

That sword light spanning the heavens and earth, carrying terrifying Sword Intent pressure, surged directly into their Sea of Consciousness along the connections of the array.

It felt as if countless knives were constantly slicing into their Divine Soul.

"Ah! My head! My head hurts so much!"

"Sword Intent! It's Dao Ancestor-level Sword Intent! My Dao Heart is about to shatter!"

The Elders clutched their heads, rolling continuously on the ground, letting out shrill, pig-like screams.

A few Elders with unstable Dao Hearts had their Dao Hearts directly shattered by the impact of the Sword Intent; they spat out mouthfuls of vital blood and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The remaining Elders couldn't hold on either, clutching their heads and kowtowing repeatedly to beg for mercy.

"Immortal Venerable, spare me! I won't dare to do it again!"

"I beg the Immortal Venerable to let me go! I am willing to leave the Jade Cauldron Pavilion!"

The sounds of wailing were carried by the wind to Qingwei Courtyard.

Upon hearing the wailing of those Elders, Li Changfeng's face turned even paler, and his whole body trembled even more violently.

"Impossible! How could something happen to them?"

"I laid out the array with my own hands! How could it be affected by Sword Intent?"

Su Changge stood opposite him, listening to the screams and the constant System notifications ringing in his mind, and he smiled even more happily.

"Ding! Obtained fear points from the presiding Elders +10,000/person! Total obtained this time: 160,000 points!"

"Ding! Obtained shock points from the presiding Elders +5,000/person! Total obtained this time: 80,000 points!"

"Ding! Obtained panic points from Li Changfeng +30,000 points!"

Another 200,000+ emotion points added to his account!

Su Changge's total emotion points had now broken through 2.1 million!

"Damn, I'm rich! I'm really rich!"

Su Changge suppressed the excitement in his heart, glanced at the terrified Li Changfeng, and deliberately revealed a hint of impatience.

That hint of impatience, in Li Changfeng's eyes, was like a death warrant.

Li Changfeng recoiled in fear, and the array induction tool in his hand nearly fell to the ground.

"Y-you, what do you want to do?"

Su Changge ignored him and moved his fingertips slightly.

With a thought, he deducted another 50,000 emotion points to add a Sword Intent pressure buff to the effect of One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.

In an instant.

The sword light spanning the heavens and earth suddenly shone three times brighter.

The terrifying Sword Intent pressure increased tenfold instantly.

The soul refining millstone in mid-air was forced back three zhang by the Sword Intent, increasing the distance from the top of Su Changge's head to eight zhang.

The Elders on the surrounding peaks clutched their heads and let out even more shrill screams.

"Ah! My Divine Soul! My Divine Soul is about to shatter!"

"I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!"

Eight Elders with unstable Dao Hearts had their Divine Soul forced out by the Sword Intent, turning them into a pile of unconscious living dead.

The remaining eight Elders couldn't hold on either, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly toward the direction of Qingwei Courtyard.

Even the Mortals at the foot of the mountain clutched their heads, rolling on the ground in pain.

The low-level Cultivators on the outskirts of the Jade Cauldron Pavilion kept their eyes closed, chanting for the Immortal Venerable to spare them, not daring to even lift their heads.

In Su Changge's mind, the System notifications rang wildly once again.

"Ding! Obtained fear points from the presiding Elders +20,000/person! Total obtained this time: 320,000 points!"

"Ding! Obtained worship points from the surrounding Cultivators +5,000/person! Total obtained this time: 200,000 points!"

"Ding! Obtained fear points from Li Changfeng +80,000 points!"

Another 600,000 emotion points added to his account!

Su Changge's total emotion points had now broken through 2.7 million!

Enough to exchange for two instances of one-second manifestation!

"Damn, Li Changfeng is truly my God of Wealth!"

Su Changge was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he remained indifferent, not even lifting his eyelids.

He even raised his hand to brush the dust off his sleeve, his movements as leisurely as if he were sunbathing in his own courtyard.

Watching Su Changge's leisurely demeanor, Li Changfeng was so angry his lungs felt like they were about to explode, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Y-you dare to humiliate me!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Li Changfeng suddenly raised the array induction tool in his hand high, about to spray his last mouthful of vital blood onto it.

Su Changge's eyes lit up instantly as he watched Li Changfeng's actions.

Spray it!

Hurry up and spray it!

After spraying, he could earn another wave!

Just at this moment.

Willow, who had been unconscious on the ground, suddenly moved and slowly opened her eyes.

The little girl had just woken up and was still a bit dazed. Seeing the sword light and the millstone in mid-air, her face turned deathly pale with fright, and she opened her mouth to cry.

"Big Brother Su?"

Willow's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached Su Changge's ears.

Su Changge's heart skipped a beat.

"Damn, why did Willow wake up? Don't blow my cover!"

He subconsciously gave Willow a look, signaling her not to speak.

Willow was stunned for a moment, but seeing Su Changge's gaze, she immediately understood. She quickly covered her mouth, swallowed the cry that had reached her throat, and obediently lay on the ground, pretending to be unconscious.

Fortunately, all of Li Changfeng's attention was on Su Changge, so he didn't notice that Willow had woken up.

Li Changfeng held up the array induction tool, staring at Su Changge with red eyes, his eyes filled with madness.

"Su Changge! Even if I die today, I will drag you down with me!"

"I want to see whether your sword light is stronger, or my soul refining millstone is stronger!"

Li Changfeng opened his mouth wide, about to spray his last mouthful of vital blood onto the array induction tool.

Su Changge watched Li Changfeng's actions, not only unpanicked but actually overjoyed in his heart.

This is exactly what he was waiting for!

After spraying, he could earn another wave of emotion points!

Just enough to earn back the cost of the manifestation!
