97: Chapter 97 One Slash Kills a Super Martial Arts Master

His speed was too fast; ordinary clansmen only felt a blur before their eyes.

But the scene that truly left everyone dumbfounded was yet to come.

Li Wen, in the midst of his charge, his gaze as sharp as an eagle, spread the five fingers of his right hand and, from dozens of meters away, remotely grabbed a blood-stained standard fast saber that a fallen warrior had left on the battlefield.

Buzz!

Taiwan Novel Website is awesome, twkan.com is great.

A low, authoritative hum resonated in the air.

An invisible, heart-palpitating force instantly descended.

Centered on Li Wen's gripping hand, space seemed to twist slightly.

The ordinary steel saber, lying in the mud and blood, seemed to be controlled by an invisible giant hand.

With a soft clang, it shot out on its own.

Its speed was so great that it even left a faint white streak in the air.

Then, steadily and precisely, as if attracted by a magnet, it landed perfectly into Li Wen's open fingers.

With the saber in hand, Li Wen's entire Aura instantly changed.

The Li clan members were completely dumbfounded, their mouths agape, unable to utter a sound.

This scene exceeded the limits of their comprehension! Grabbing objects from a distance?! This—is this immortal magic?!

"Hiss—!" Next to Li Changjie, the Advanced Martial Artist bodyguard, who had always maintained a solemn expression, now reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He gasped, his eyes wide, his face filled with incredible horror, his voice distorted by extreme shock as he exclaimed, "Momentum Realm!! It's Saber Intent! Power of Heaven and Earth—he—he's already a Momentum Realm expert?!!"

"Momentum Realm?"

"What is that?" Many ordinary clan members didn't understand the meaning of this term at all.

But the four words 'Power of Heaven and Earth' struck everyone's hearts like a demonic sound, making them feel an even deeper shock and an inexplicable awe.

The two Swift Wind Demonic Wolf Kings, who were about to pounce on the survivors of the cleanup squad or turn to charge at the Li family's motorcade, also keenly sensed the suddenly descending, incomparably sharp Aura, as if it could cut through anything.

They simultaneously stopped, their emerald beast eyes showing a hint of surprise and ferocity, locking onto the human figure standing between them and their food, holding an ordinary steel saber.

"Perfect, I'll test my saber on you!"

A cold light burst forth from Li Wen's eyes.

"Absolute Focus—activate!"

Boom!

An indescribable sense of clarity and ultimate control instantly swept through Li Wen's entire body.

The Primordial Spirit Power in his Sea of Consciousness subtly fluctuated, perfectly synchronizing with his spirit, instantly elevating his perception, reaction, and willpower to an unprecedented Peak.

Everything around him became slow and clear: the trajectory of energy flow, the precursory movements of the demonic wolves' pounce, the tiny tremors of muscle exertion, and even the subtle specks of light from his own reflection in the demonic wolves' eyes—all were clearly visible.

He made no superfluous movements.

His left foot stepped forward, his body's center of gravity slightly lowered, his waist and back taut like a drawn bow. The right hand holding the ordinary standard fast saber was steady, without the slightest tremor.

Buzz—the saber seemed to emit a low, eager hum.

Under the enhancement of LV8 Absolute Focus, Li Wen's control over his newly comprehended Saber Intent reached a subtle Peak.

He poured that Origin sharpness, that pale and fierce Saber Intent, stemming from the soul of a saber master, entirely into the mundane iron in his hand.

Then, he swung the saber!

Not one strike, but two, instantly.

Two saber lights, almost simultaneous, sweeping upwards in a reverse slash.

Swish! Swish!

The saber lights didn't have an earth-shattering explosion, nor dazzling light and shadow.

What they displayed was an extreme restraint, a terrifying paleness that was deeply internalized.

It was as if space itself was torn apart by these two chillingly silent, heart-stopping cold glints.

The speed was extreme!

That was the maximum speed achievable with 100% mastery of Lueying Style and the initial formation of Saber Intent.

It surpassed the visual capture capabilities of everyone present.

Even Li Changjie's bodyguard only saw Li Wen's figure seem to sway, and two faint, almost illusory pale lines, moving in trajectories completely defying common sense, swept across the Void Realm.

And the targets—

Were the two Swift Wind Demonic Wolf Kings, who had just exerted themselves, preparing to pounce on Li Wen.

The instant those two pale saber lights dissipated—*Puchi! Puchi!*

Two soft yet soul-shattering sounds, like tearing silk or bursting ripe fruit, rang out simultaneously.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The two demonic wolves' pouncing momentum abruptly halted, like two colossal statues, frozen in mid-air by a petrification spell.

The next second—*Whoosh!*

A large amount of fresh blood, like a fountain, suddenly gushed out from beneath the necks of the two demonic wolves, from the vital chest and abdomen areas wrapped in thick, dark green fur.

Two massive, crisscrossing gashes, deep enough to expose bone, appeared on their robust bodies, like two openings cleaved by an invisible force.

The edges of the gashes were smooth as mirrors, subtly retaining a lingering, heart-palpitating pale sharpness.

The enormous wolf bodies, comparable to armored vehicles, crashed down.

They hit the ground heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Their limbs still twitched unconsciously, but their beast eyes, once gleaming with cruel ferocity, rapidly lost focus, leaving only endless fear and frozen blankness.

The air was dead silent!

The wind seemed to have stopped flowing.

All sounds—the terrified cries of the Li clan members, the desperate gasps of the cleanup squad, the fierce roars of the Yao Beasts, the lingering hum of energy firearms—all vanished at this moment.

Only an extreme, heart-stopping silence remained.

The Li clan members' faces still held terror and stupor, their eyes wide, mouths unconsciously agape, as if their throats had been simultaneously choked.

They looked at the two demonic wolves, which a second ago seemed like invincible devils, now falling like two rags.

Then they looked at Li Wen, standing between the wolf corpses, holding a blood-stained steel saber, his expression calm as if he had just done something trivial—

Shock? Terror? Blankness? And a hint of awe and daze, as if witnessing a miracle?

Countless emotions mixed, surged, and collided within their hearts, leaving their minds blank, able only to instinctively maintain their petrified expressions of shock.

On the cleanup squad's side, the Bearded Captain and several other injured team members, who had been preparing for a final struggle, were completely stunned.

Their gun muzzles even forgot where to point.

They looked at the two massive wolf corpses on the ground, completely devoid of life, their fatal wounds still emanating a faint pale Aura, then raised their heads, looking incredulously at the slightly slender yet upright young figure, like a green pine.

That figure appeared so thin in the swirling dust, yet contained unimaginable power.

The relief of surviving a calamity and profound shock intertwined, making the eyes of these hardened men redden, their throats choked, unable to utter a single word for a moment.

Li Changjie and his parents' expressions were extremely varied.

Li Changjie's lips trembled, his gaze towards Li Wen completely turning into one of reverence.

Momentum Realm! Only he, who had stepped into the Unity Realm, knew how difficult it was to enter the Momentum Realm in high school.

In the entire Changning City, only Luo Zhen from City No. 1 High School had reached the Momentum Realm; now—there was another.

Li Fude's body was stiff, completely speechless, only his bodyguard beside him trembled slightly, looking at Li Wen's back with unspeakable awe, muttering silently, "The might of the Momentum Realm—instantly killing two Early Stage Peak Super Martial Artist Yao Beasts with one saber strike—a Prodigy—a true Prodigy indeed—"

Father Li and Mother Li supported each other, Mother Li unconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes filled with lingering fear and worry.

But more than that, there was an indescribable excitement and pride! Her son, unexpectedly—was so powerful.

Li Wen slowly exhaled, and the sharp Intent that had enveloped his body, as if it could cut through all things at any moment, slowly dissipated.

He looked down at the standard fast saber in his hand, which was as ordinary as could be.

The blade was already curled and cracked with tiny nicks.

Those two saber strikes just now, though the Power of Heaven and Earth they drew was concentrated only along the blade's edge, their instantaneousThe power that burst forthhad already exceeded the endurance limit of mundane iron.

Below the Momentum Realm, all are ants—it was indeed true.

His Physical Body Rank was only just over 8, yet by drawing upon a portion of the Power of Heaven and Earth, he so easily slew two Early Stage Peak Super Martial Artist Yao Beasts.

He casually tossed the bent and ruined saber to the ground, where it made a crisp clanging sound.

This sound was exceptionally clear in the dead silence, as if it awakened everyone.

Li Wen's gaze swept over the messy ground, the still-shaken clan members, and the cleanup squad members still immersed in shock and severe pain.

Finally, it landed on the Bearded Captain, his voice ringing out clearly, carrying a young yet undeniable power: "The Yao Beasts are dealt with. You all—tend to the wounded first."

Reminded by Li Wen, the Bearded Captain suddenly snapped out of the shock of witnessing the young man instantly kill two ferocious demonic wolves.

He slapped his head, his voice hoarse with the relief of surviving and sincere gratitude: "Right, right, right! Thank you! Thank you, young brother, for saving us! If it weren't for you, all of us brothers would have died here today! Brothers, quickly! Quickly save them!"

The members of the cleanup squad awoke as if from a dream, enduring their injuries and fatigue, and quickly sprang into action, rushing towards their fallen comrades.

But at this moment, Li Wen's mind was not entirely here.

The instant his Primordial Spirit Power spread out like invisible mercury, the scene within a radius of over one li was clearly reflected in his Sea of Consciousness.

The strong scent of blood from where the two demonic wolves had fallen was like a beacon in the darkness.

But further away, deep within a cave in a bush-covered mountain wall, a more ferocious, deeper fluctuation of vital energy was surging like a dormant volcano, restless and ready to erupt.

The strength of this Aura was far beyond that of the Early Stage Peak demonic wolves from earlier; its intensity—definitely reached the level of an Intermediate Super Martial Artist.

Li Wen's heart sank abruptly. Primordial Spirit Power was one of his biggest trump cards and absolutely could not be exposed in plain sight.
