A mighty sword intent? Useless! What are the conditions for breaking this deadlock?

At the Zhenyuan Pass battlefield, the void vibrated.

Boom!!!

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, a white-robed figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the ground behind, kicking up a cloud of dust.

“Cough, cough...”

Amidst the ruins, Lin Mo struggled to climb to his feet. A trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth, and his face was slightly pale.

His current state could be described as extremely wretched. The originally spotless white robe was now tattered, and his body was covered in wounds of all sizes.

“Damn it...”

“If I were in the Spirit Transformation Realm right now, even if it were just the Early Stage, I definitely wouldn't be beaten this badly!”

Lin Mo casually wiped the blood from his mouth, a surge of uncontrollable annoyance rising in his heart.

Frustrating!

It was truly too frustrating!

Throughout his journey, he had always killed enemies above his level and crushed his opponents.

But today, facing this You Xuan, he truly experienced what it meant to be "suppressed by Realm."

Even though he possessed three supreme Sword Intents, even though his swordsmanship was god-like.

In the face of an absolute gap in cultivation, all of this seemed somewhat pale and powerless.

Especially his physical strength; it was of no use at all.

“What a pity...”

Lin Mo clenched his fists, feeling the majestic blood-qi power within his body that was difficult to fully utilize, and sighed inwardly.

“My Hegemon Heaven Indestructible Scripture only has the introductory volume.”

“This means my terrifying blood-qi can only be used to tank damage and add a bit of brute force; I can't utilize it more efficiently at all!”

“If I had the subsequent Cultivation Techniques and knew the secret arts for physical combat...”

“That punch just now, even if it didn't kill him, would have at least knocked out a few of his teeth!”

At this moment, the main means he used to resist You Xuan almost entirely relied on his Sword Intent to hold on.

As for his Physical Body with its astonishing blood-qi, without the corresponding offensive means, it could only serve as an Advanced "meat shield."

This made Lin Mo feel incredibly depressed.

“Damn it, once this crisis is over, I must find a way to ask about the Overlord Emperor Jun's Legacy Secret Realm.”

“Otherwise, without the subsequent Body Refining techniques, it's like sitting on a gold mine without being able to spend it. This is too painful!”

Lin Mo grit his teeth and swore silently.

“Ah—!!”

In the brief moment he was Divided Soul, a shrill scream suddenly came from the distance.

Lin Mo's heart jumped, and he snapped his head up to look.

Not far away, Lei Jingxiao had been hit by a beam of Devilish Light from You Xuan. He flew out like a meteor, his aura instantly withering to the extreme, looking as if he were about to die.

“Not good!”

“If this blockhead dies, I won't be able to hold on alone!”

“Hold on! I'm coming!”

Lin Mo grit his teeth, his figure blurring as he narrowly rescued Lei Jingxiao from You Xuan's next wave of attacks.

“Huff... huff...”

“Thanks, Brother Lin...”

Lei Jingxiao panted heavily, his face as pale as paper, clearly at the end of his rope.

“Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to die, then hold on for me!”

Lin Mo had no time for pleasantries. He pushed him aside and once again met You Xuan with his sword.

At this time, the aura of the Seal on You Xuan was fading at an alarming speed.

The effect of Mu Yurou's secret art was weakening!

His strength was rapidly returning!

“Heh, can you still hold on?”

“This Demon Son wants to see how much longer you can jump around.”

You Xuan had a playful look on his face, the light in that vertical eye becoming increasingly dangerous.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Mo's three Sword Intents surged wildly, and Sword Qi swept out like a long river, attempting to block You Xuan's path.

However.

The gap in strength was right there.

No matter how hard Lin Mo fought, in the face of that gradually unsealing, terrifying demonic might, he was still beaten back step by step, even narrowly escaping death several times!

Bang!

Another collision.

Lin Mo was sent flying again, the blood-qi in his chest churning, feeling as if his internal organs were about to be displaced.

Just as he was preparing to grit his teeth and fight again.

Suddenly!

Buzz!

Deep in his mind, a strange fluctuation came without warning.

Immediately after, a mysterious realization flooded into his Sea of Consciousness out of thin air!

“Wait...”

“What is this?”

Lin Mo was stunned, but before he could react, his body instinctively accepted this power.

“The world has a righteous Qi, manifesting in various forms...”

“Haoran Sword Intent?!”

Thanks to the System's perfect sharing mechanism, Lin Mo digested this sudden realization almost instantly.

The next moment.

Within the sharp and fierce Sword Intent surrounding him, a vast and upright special aura suddenly appeared, as if it could cleanse all the filth in the world!

As soon as that aura appeared, the nauseating Devilish Qi around him actually retreated several paces subconsciously!

Lin Mo's temperament also underwent a subtle change at this moment, gaining a hint of elegance and majesty.

“No way...”

“Is this the solution my Younger Sister came up with over there?”

“So fast?”

Lin Mo stabilized his figure, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He remembered he had only hung up the communication a few minutes ago, right?

And yet, his Younger Sister's side had already come up with a new Sword Intent to transmit over?

This efficiency was simply too high!

“Could this be the key to breaking the deadlock?”

Hope rose in Lin Mo's heart, and he hurriedly sensed this new Sword Intent carefully.

However.

In the next second, his expression immediately collapsed again.

“Twenty percent...”

“Only twenty percent Sword Intent?!”

Lin Mo's mouth twitched, and the small flame that had just risen in his heart was instantly extinguished.

“The concept of this new Sword Intent is quite lofty, specifically countering evil.”

“But... with only twenty percent, I'm afraid it won't be of any use!”

Facing a monster of You Xuan's level, what was the difference between twenty percent Sword Intent and none at all?

At most, it would just make scratching his itch a bit more comfortable!

But in fact, what Lin Mo didn't know was.

Back in Great Xia, that Genius named Bai Ziyu had only comprehended five percent of the Haoran Sword Intent!

The reason it became twenty percent when it reached him.

Was purely because his attainments in the Dao of the sword were simply too profound!

Taibai, Annihilation, and Void—he had comprehended these three supreme Sword Intents to an extremely deep level.

As the saying goes, once you master one law, you master them all.

Under the influence of that deep foundation, he had forcibly raised this Haoran Sword Intent by fifteen percent!

Otherwise, if it really were only five percent... Lin Mo would probably be in tears right now, cursing on the spot.

“No!”

“With only this twenty percent Haoran Sword Intent, there's no way to break the deadlock!”

“I have to tell my Younger Sister quickly that this move won't work!”

“Tell her to think of something else!”

Lin Mo knew exactly how critical the current situation was.

You Xuan's strength was recovering. If he didn't get some strong medicine, he was really going to be finished!

So without another word, he forcibly split off a sliver of his mind. While dodging You Xuan's attacks in an extremely wretched manner, he hurriedly contacted Lin Xiyue again.

Buzz!

The communication connected.

Before Lin Mo could even speak, Lin Xiyue's voice, filled with excitement and urgency, came through first:

“Big Brother!!”

“We've thought of a way!!”

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, instinctively thinking she was referring to that Haoran Sword Intent from just now.

So, while swinging his sword to block a beam of Devilish Light, he replied with a bitter smile:

“Younger Sister...”

“The way you're talking about, it wouldn't happen to be that new Sword Intent from just now, would it?”

“This way isn't very effective!”

“Twenty percent Sword Intent... against a BOSS of this level, it's simply too weak. I can't even scratch him!”

“You have to think of an even more powerful move for me!”

“Sword Intent?”

“What Sword Intent?”

On the other end, Lin Xiyue was clearly confused by Lin Mo's words.

But she quickly reacted and shouted urgently:

“Oh, Big Brother, you've misunderstood!”

“The way I'm talking about isn't that!”

“Whatever Sword Intent that was must have been a timely pleasant surprise; it has nothing to do with our plan!”

“Forget it, I can't explain it clearly in a short time!”

Lin Xiyue spoke rapidly, her tone more serious than ever before.

“I'll keep it short!”

“Big Brother, we've really found a way to help you escape the danger!”

“But... we're still missing one final key condition!”

“Condition?”

“What condition?”

“As long as it's something I can do, I'll definitely get it done!”

Hearing that it wasn't Sword Intent but another brilliant move, Lin Mo's expression immediately became solemn.

“Listen carefully!”

“What we need now is...”

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath and said word by word:

“An ice-attribute! Or Yin-attribute...”

“sacred artifact!!”

“That is, a Saint-Grade Heaven And Earth Treasure!”

“As long as you can get this item, we are absolutely certain that your strength will increase instantly!”

“Thereby breaking this certain-death crisis in one fell swoop!!”
