123: Chapter 123 You broke through in the heat of battle, so calling for reinforcements isn't unreasonable, is it?

Sword Cultivator.

Glorious on the surface.

Ordinary Sword Cultivators struggle their entire lives, yet find it difficult to become true Sword Cultivators!

As for what can be called a true Sword Cultivator?

Perhaps... it is that group of people who have mastered Sword Intent!

Within the third-rank Hu Family, Inner Disciple Hu Lie could be considered among the top tier. Among the wagers placed on him by the various branches of the family, there happened to be the essence soul of a strange tiger demon.

The Hu Family gave this item to Inner Disciple Hu Lie... in the hope that he would rely on the essence soul of the strange tiger demon to hone his Sword Qi, and eventually transform it into true Sword Intent!

However... don't look at how much the Hu Family has done.

They are still one step away.

This is also the gap between Sword Cultivators.

Inner Disciple Hu Lie knew clearly that if he wanted to become a true Sword Cultivator and a true Prodigy of the Hu Family... he could only do so through the tempering of life and death.

Comprehending Sword Intent.

That is why he came to Wanren Cliff.

Wei Bushe.

This name is like thunder to the ears of many Sword Cultivators.

This Loose Cultivator swordsman was someone that even the few remaining Badao Sword Sect Cultivators from back then could not help but look at with great respect!

The Sword Qi... and Sword Intent he left behind would naturally be able to help him cross this threshold!

It's just... unexpected that everything came so suddenly!

A thick beam of heavenly light descended upon the world like a Dipper... the entire battlefield was enveloped in the embryonic form of Sword Intent!

That terrifying power... intoxicated Inner Disciple Hu Lie completely.

A look of exhilaration flashed in his eyes...

Inner Disciple Hu Lie locked onto the aura of the leader, that wretch who kept casting Lesser Yuan Recovery Art... the sword formation followed like a shadow!

The collapsing Rakshasa Dao Soldiers could not distract him in the slightest...

He swooped down, like a gust of wind, instantly sweeping past that Second-Rank Dao Soldier!

A look of appreciation involuntarily appeared in Inner Disciple Hu Lie's eyes.

"You... are not bad!"

Wang Meng tried to raise his palm... but the descent of this embryonic Sword Intent had already stripped him of any ability to resist!

In fact... the fact that he hadn't died under the embryonic Sword Intent was already proof of his incredible Genius.

It was One Against a Thousand, stacked to the highest level of Hundred Battles Without Fear.

Coupled with the Panshi Blood Essence and the soldier armor pill, that was the only reason he had managed to hold on until now!!!

With the continuous consumption of Spiritual Qi in his body, Inner Disciple Hu Lie knew he could not delay for too long.

Sword Intent is indeed powerful, but its consumption is equally immense.

What's more, he also held a sword formation in his hands.

The sword formation was also constantly devouring his Spiritual Qi!

What he was thinking in his mind was very simple.

That was to capture the ringleader first!

Suddenly, Yan Shu's figure appeared... Yan Shu's eyes were filled with regret.

Yes, no one has the ability to foresee the future, and no one knew that this Inner Disciple Hu Lie could actually rise with the momentum.

Not only was he not killed by Wanren Cliff, but he actually found life in death and mastered Sword Intent!

He now had only one thought in his mind... stall for time.

Let Shen Yi leave first!

There was not the slightest fluctuation under Inner Disciple Hu Lie's eyelids... he bowed his head slightly.

Yan Shu's figure was sent flying... his entire body was instantly slashed into pieces with bloodstains!

Seeing this, Steward Zhao rushed over, the Talisman in his hand constantly rising.

Earth-yellow giant rocks stacked up layer by layer like the Rashomon gate...

A look of mockery flashed in Inner Disciple Hu Lie's eyes as the Talisman formed by the giant rocks was instantly shattered.

He lunged forward... and slashed at Steward Zhao with his sword!

Steward Zhao's chest split open, and he flew backward... looking at the blood on his chest, he gasped!

The two drew closer and closer... Master Yankong just wanted to take a step forward.

But he was stopped by Shen Yi!

Shen Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes calm.

Full of composure.

"Lord Shen..."

"It's fine!"

The two were within arm's reach, and in both their gazes, a light of certain kill flickered!

Inner Disciple Hu Lie spoke with interest.

"Do you have any last words?"

Seeing this, a strange look appeared on Shen Yi's face.

"You think you have me?"

"Obviously... relying on these Dao Soldiers of yours, you cannot resist me."

"I never intended for them to resist you."

"I hate your face."

Shen Yi couldn't help but smile.

"There are plenty of people who hate my face... it seems there's no shortage of one more like you!"

"Then... die!"

"Thank you... for your Sword Intent!!!"

Inner Disciple Hu Lie held high the sword weapon in his hand, which now only had a hilt left...

One could see the formless Sword Intent condensing into a sharp edge upon it.

Like needles on one's back!

He slashed down fiercely!!!!

In the stunned gaze of everyone... a pair of slender, delicate hands suddenly pinched this formless sword weapon!

The battlefield suddenly became silent!

And the first-rank families and other second-rank families rushing from afar were all stunned on the spot.

They had already given up on fighting... Inner Disciple Hu Lie possessed Sword Intent!

That was enough to become a true disciple of the Badao Sword Sect!

And the previous covenant had naturally lost its effect.

No second-rank family was willing to offend a Prodigy of a third-rank family because of an Opportunity at Wanren Cliff!

Especially since this Prodigy had also mastered something as magnificent as Sword Intent!

They came here... just to offer congratulations!

And the Zheng Family and other first-rank families... came with hearts full of fear!

In their view.

The monk may run, but the temple cannot; even if they ran away, what would it matter?

What awaited them was nothing more than Inner Disciple Hu Lie's final settling of accounts!

They had attacked and provoked Inner Disciple Hu Lie; if they had won, the Hu Family could only say their skills were inferior!

But if the Hu Family won, they would surely trample them into the dust without hesitation.

They came here... to beg for mercy!

To smooth this matter over!

But seeing the scene before them, they were all stunned!

"How is this possible!"

"Who... is that person?"

"This Inner Disciple Hu Lie has already mastered Sword Intent... that is Sword Intent!"

"An existence that can catch Sword Intent with just a hand."

"What kind of existence is this!"

"And... it's actually a woman!"

Steward Zheng's face was terrified.

"This Hu Family... dares to come here and pull the whiskers of the Hu Family tiger."

"Truly extraordinary."

"The effect of the Opportunity at Wanren Cliff is relatively singular... so those eyeing this place are probably only sword-path Cultivators!"

"As expected, there is another sword-path Prodigy behind them."

Clang~!

The crowd's gazes were deep... Inner Disciple Hu Lie felt the sword weapon in his palm, light as a feather yet unable to advance an inch, and a look of astonishment immediately appeared on his face!

He slowly looked up.

He saw a figure standing before him, wearing a white training robe, with long hair tied high into a ponytail.

A figure as beautiful as a lotus rising from the water without embellishment, bright as the moon and lovely to behold, stood before him.

Standing behind that young Cultivator.

The sword weapon that should have slashed down was disintegrating inch by inch in her hand... like a piece of tofu.

The woman spoke slowly and methodically, her tone full of sighs and reproach.

"I gave it to you, not for you to use when things are desperate."

"Why are you so unwilling to listen to advice."

"Husband."
