140: Stop when you see Chen Yaofeng!

Seeing Murong Xue's inquiring gaze, Jiang Yan didn't plan to hide it anymore; after all, he would use the Nine Dragons Sword in the big battle in a few days.

As Jiang Yan's Sword Intent was released, nine solid Dragon shadows appeared instantly.

"Breaking Illusion Sword Truth! Nine Dragons Sword!"

Murong Xue was stunned, falling into a state of self-doubt.

She couldn't compare to Li Yi; after all, Li Yi's Sword Intent had reached the No-Self Sword Dao. But what was with Jiang Yan?

A Disciple who had entered the immortal gate just over three years ago, his Sword Dao was actually above hers!

Even his Nine Dragons Sword was more solid than her sword shadows.

More terrifyingly, a few months ago, the two had sparred. At that time, both were at the Sword Heart Clarity Realm. Yet, after not seeing him for a few months, he had directly bypassed the Blunt Sword Strategy and reached the Breaking Illusion Sword Truth!

Is this reasonable?

Obviously, it's not reasonable at all!

Even if one ate Sword Pills every day, at most they'd be like her... "Let it all be destroyed." Murong Xue turned away helplessly.

She felt her worldview had been completely Peaked, and felt that despite her desperate Cultivate of the Sword Dao, it had all gone to the dogs.

"Revered Master..." Jiang Yan transmitted his voice.

Li Yi rolled his eyes and replied via voice transmission, "It really should be destroyed."

Jiang Yan was speechless, watching Murong Xue leave.

"In a bit, if you're summoned to Spirit Sword Peak, just play dumb. If you really have nothing to say, say you like swords." Li Yi stood up and warned him.

"Summoned to Spirit Sword Peak? Who's summoning me?" Jiang Yan asked.

"There's a Grand Elder on Spirit Sword Peak named Chen Yaofeng. His Sword Intent should be the same as yours." Li Yi explained.

Jiang Yan nodded after hearing this and didn't ask further; after all, his Revered Master had told him enough.

Just as he stepped out of the Animal Rearing Chamber, a sword light landed in front of him.

"Kid, come up."

An aged voice came from the sword light, carrying an undeniable authority.

Jiang Yan looked up and saw that the sword light led straight to the Peak of Spirit Sword Peak, flickering in and out of the clouds.

He took a deep breath and stepped onto the sword light.

Jiang Yan understood that the owner of this sword light was the Grand Elder Chen Yaofeng.

At the Peak of Spirit Sword Peak, the wind and snow continued as before.

Chen Yaofeng stood by the cliff leaning on a wooden sword, his back to Jiang Yan.

"Kid, I heard your Sword Dao is very strong?" The old man got straight to the point.

"It's just average." Jiang Yan said modestly.

"Do you like swords?" Chen Yaofeng asked again.

Jiang Yan remembered Li Yi's advice and nodded honestly, "I like them."

He did indeed like them, but in a different way; or rather, he liked any weapon with an Artifact Spirit, because almost no Artifact Spirit could survive in his hands.

"Why?"

Jiang Yan scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Maybe because they're handy when hacking people?"

Chen Yaofeng turned abruptly, his cloudy eyes staring intently at Jiang Yan.

Just as Jiang Yan thought he was going to be hit, the old man suddenly laughed loudly, "Good! A fine 'handy'! You indeed have a bloodthirsty heart!"

But as Chen Yaofeng's voice fell, the wooden sword in his hand began to tremble, as if it were extremely fearful of Jiang Yan.

Chen Yaofeng was very puzzled; it was his first time seeing a Sword Spirit show fear toward a living being.

Little did he know, the person standing before him was not some Sword Dao Genius, but a Genius at killing Artifact Spirits... Spirits have souls, and they can feel things that ordinary people cannot. The Sword Spirit within the wooden sword could clearly feel the aura lingering on Jiang Yan after he had suppressed and killed Artifact Spirits.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yan's gaze was fixed on the wooden sword, because the Sword Spirit inside it felt no less powerful than the Sea Clan's hai jiuyuan sword.

'If I break this, I wonder what I'll be able to plunder.'

While he was eyeing the Sword Spirit in the wooden sword, the sword in Chen Yaofeng's hand trembled more and more violently, and fine cracks even began to appear on the blade.

"Interesting..." The old man narrowed his eyes. "This is the first time I've seen 'Hidden Edge' fear someone."

Jiang Yan spread his hands innocently, "I really didn't do anything. It's just that sometimes when I practice, those Sword Spirits always like to crash into my Sword Intent... and eventually, those Sword Spirits get crushed by me."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Chen Yaofeng's eyes twitched; he wouldn't believe this even if he were killed.

Sword Spirits aren't common; any weapon that can nurture an Artifact Spirit is a one-in-a-ten-thousand divine weapon.

It was even more impossible for them to crash into this kid for no reason; after all, a Sword Spirit cannot leave the artifact itself.

Chen Yaofeng took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to hang this kid up and beat him.

He stared into Jiang Yan's innocent eyes and suddenly sneered, "Kid, do you think I've lived a thousand years for nothing?"

With a light lift of his hand, the two were instantly transported to the Sword Casting Pool of Spirit Sword Peak.

Jiang Yan was not at all unfamiliar with this place; after all, the sword Li Yi had given him came from here.

"Grand Elder, why did you bring me here?" Jiang Yan asked.

"Don't ask questions, just follow." Chen Yaofeng didn't look back as he led Jiang Yan deeper inside.

As the two passed by, the Disciples casting swords on the Peak immediately stopped their work and knelt toward Chen Yaofeng.

"All of you, get up and continue casting." Chen Yaofeng waved his hand.

As Jiang Yan followed Chen Yaofeng through a narrow cave, they had now entered the interior of Spirit Sword Peak.

"Do you know why this Peak is named Spirit Sword Peak?" Chen Yaofeng asked.

Jiang Yan thought for a moment and gave a tentative answer, "Because swords can be cast here?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's answer, Chen Yaofeng almost spat blood from anger, but he still patiently explained:

"The importance of Spirit Sword Peak lies in the word 'Spirit'! Casting swords is just a cover; the important thing is that there are countless Sword Spirits here!"

As Chen Yaofeng's voice fell, the two finally reached the end.

Seeing the scene before him, Jiang Yan was shocked because this place was actually a Sword Tomb!

Looking at the thousands of spirit swords thrust into the ground, each emitting terrifying Sword Qi, Jiang Yan's mouth almost watered.

"Go on," the old man laughed sinisterly. "Since Sword Spirits 'like' to crash into your Sword Intent, then these masterless swords..."

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, and before Chen Yaofeng could finish, he dashed into the Sword Tomb.

The next scene left this well-traveled Grand Elder completely dumbfounded.

Wherever Jiang Yan went, the spirit swords pulled themselves out of the ground one after another, and then... an unimaginable scene occurred.

"Crack! Crack! Crack..."

One after another, the swords snapped in front of him!

Jiang Yan's entire body surged with qi-blood, like a giant fireball.

Chen Yaofeng could clearly see the Sword Spirits howling as they left their physical forms and turned into streaks of light that drilled into Jiang Yan's body.

Chen Yaofeng was speechless; how on earth was this a Sword Dao Genius? This was clearly a Sword Spirit nemesis!

"Stop!" Chen Yaofeng shouted, quickly rushing to Jiang Yan's side to halt his actions.

"Huh?" Jiang Yan looked bewildered. He was having a great time grinding; why was he being stopped?

"Brat, I brought you here to prove yourself, not to destroy the Sword Spirits!" Chen Yaofeng shouted angrily.

Jiang Yan looked serious and nodded, saying, "That's right, if you don't believe me, look."

As his voice fell, his entire Sword Intent instantly condensed, and a giant Sword Intent phantom, accompanied by nine solid giant Dragons, began to circle around him.

"This, this..." Chen Yaofeng was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to describe Jiang Yan's Sword Dao Realm.

"You, you... you obtain your Sword Dao Realm like this?"

Jiang Yan nodded in admission, "Yeah, it's quite simple."

Chen Yaofeng felt that not only would Murong Xue's worldview collapse, but even he himself was about to be driven mad by Jiang Yan.

He had thought Li Yi was the most eccentric Sword Dao Genius he had ever seen, reaching the Peak of the Sword Dao before even being a hundred years old.

But compared to the brat in front of him... that eccentricity couldn't even compare to this recklessness!

Others gain insights through comprehension, but Jiang Yan forcibly absorbs... Chen Yaofeng looked at Jiang Yan and thought to himself, 'Good boy, no wonder you don't have a single sword with a Sword Spirit on you. After all this time, it turns out they've all been destroyed by you!'
