46: The confident Leng Ling Shuang, this woman... is hopeless!

"You say Lord Shen is arrogant and looks down on everyone, but I think the shoe is on the other foot..."

Luo Zheng sneered, his expression full of disdain as he spoke mockingly.

Honestly, just from these few words, he felt that this woman was the truly arrogant and conceited one. It was completely different from the cold pride that Shen Nian unintentionally displayed; by comparison, she was far inferior!

"What did you say!"

Boom!

A wisp of Sword Intent locked onto Luo Zheng directly. The pressure it emitted far exceeded the Golden Core Stage. Luo Zheng could feel it; his body involuntarily took a few steps back, and his Face turned even paler. He could not withstand this sword attack, and coupled with the fact that he was already injured, it was highly likely he would die.

But Luo Zheng was completely fearless. He stared at Leng Lingshuang and said again: "Every word I said is true."

Leng Lingshuang raised an eyebrow, a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Her personality was naturally arrogant. From childhood, she had always considered herself a Sword Cultivator Prodigy, and never had anyone belittled her worth in the Dao of the sword!

It was hard for her not to be angry!

A wave of killing intent was released without reservation. Murong Chen's expression sank, and he couldn't help but frown, the secret treasure within his body beginning to circulate.

This woman wants to kill Luo Zheng?

Being of the same Human Race, is it necessary to go this far?

"Stop!" Liu Huihui hurriedly blocked Luo Zheng, her expression solemn as she said: "Fellow Daoist Leng, please don't be impulsive. Although Luo Zheng's words were unpleasant to hear, he wasn't lying. Fellow Daoist Shen's talent in the Dao of the sword is indeed far superior to yours..."

"Fellow Daoist Shen previously released a Sword Intent in this restaurant that soared straight into the clouds, like the Great Sun covering the sky. If I guessed correctly, that involved the level of 'Dao.' You should understand what kind of talent it takes to comprehend the Dao of the sword at the Golden Core Stage..."

At this moment, feeling Leng Lingshuang's killing intent, Liu Huihui was also somewhat dissatisfied, so she couldn't be bothered to give her any Face and just spoke her mind.

At the same time, she was shocked internally.

Shen Nian was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage a month ago??

How did he Cultivate!

Crossing a major Realm in one month?

It is simply unheard of!

"Absolutely impossible!" Leng Lingshuang said resolutely, withdrawing her Sword Intent and coldly saying: "A bunch of frogs in a well, you don't understand the terror of that Sword Intent at all!"

"That Sword Intent was clearly unleashed by a Void Returning Sword Dao master, how could it be him, Shen Nian?"

She had studied the sword since childhood, and her comprehension of the Dao of the sword far surpassed these three; even some at the Nascent Soul Early Stage might not have a deeper understanding of the sword than her.

This was not her first time encountering the Void Returning level of the Dao of the sword. In many caves, there were objects left behind by ancient Sword Cultivators that contained Sword Intent, but compared to the terrifying aura of the Void Returning Sword Dao left in this restaurant, they were far inferior. It even made her sword heart tremble just now; it was the first time in her life she had encountered such a level!

You are saying this was comprehended by that Shen Nian whom she had never looked upon with any regard?

How is that possible!

Even if she heard rumors that he was some high-level Hunyuan Grandmaster, or had become a Late Golden Core Stage, she would at most laugh it off. Even if it were true, so what?

Could he block the sword in her hand?

During the grand competition, she could still make him lie down for another three days.

But they were saying that Shen Nian was the sword Dao master the Sect Master had sent her to find!!

That former loser to her?

She did not believe it!

And she absolutely could not believe it!

Thinking of this, Leng Lingshuang continued.

"Furthermore, this Sword Art Dao contains the true meaning of the fire element, which is completely different from my Heavenly Sword Sect's Heavenly Profound Sword Art. How did he, Shen Nian, learn it?"

"There is no need for me to say more. In the entire Great Xia, who possesses a Sword Art Divine Ability of the Void Returning level?"

"Could he be someone from Eastern Profound, here in my Great Xia for training?"

"Ridiculous. Why would I waste so much breath on you frogs in a well? Once I find that Senior, I will naturally go to the Ninth Mountain to see this sword Dao Prodigy you speak of!" Leng Lingshuang felt more and more that her analysis was correct, then revealed a trace of mockery and turned to leave.

Her movements were fast; before Liu Huihui could even speak, her figure had already disappeared.

"This woman... is hopeless." Liu Huihui really didn't expect that Leng Lingshuang would be so... confident?

"Normal. That woman looks like her Cultivation has been too smooth, just like my sister, she hasn't experienced the beatings of the world." Murong Chen returned to his usual frivolous demeanor, his tone shifting as he laughed: "However, my sister has one good point: at least she listens to advice. This woman... is probably a lost cause."

Liu Huihui nodded in extreme agreement.

"I really want to see what she looks like when she meets Lord Shen, and if she can still be this cocky..." Luo Zheng laughed, his eyes filled with a trace of anticipation.

Murong Chen laughed: "That's simple. The Heavenly Sword Sect's Ninth Mountain grand competition this year is less than a month away. We can just go and watch then..."

On the streets of Yunzhou City.

Leng Lingshuang strode forward, her figure weaving through the crowd, but no one could touch the hem of her clothes, nor did they notice her presence at all.

"Hmph!"

"The current Sunset Valley is becoming more and more ridiculous. Their Cultivation talent is not good, and they don't even have brains anymore..."

"Better to hurry and find that Senior first..."

"After that is done, I do want to go back and see that so-called sword Dao Prodigy..."

After a disdainful smile, Leng Lingshuang released her Divine Sense, searching everywhere for a Sword Intent similar to the one at the restaurant.

At the same time.

Within a region of spatial turbulence, a cyan meteor streaked across; looking closely, it was a flying boat.

Shen Nian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance at the tiny silver specks of light, lost in thought.

"Those must be stars..."

When he left, the wisp of Void Returning intent he left for Guo Dewu was not a sword Dao Legacy, but rather extracted from the Void Returning Sword Dao. It was merely the power of the Void Returning "Dao." After all, it was impossible for him to pass on the Great Sun Undying Sword Art or the Chaos Undying Body Refining Technique; those were his trump cards.

That bit of Void Returning intent was actually enough to allow the other party to comprehend Void Returning in advance. As for whether he could improve, that depended on the other party's destiny; it had nothing to do with Shen Nian.

The reason he left it was also because he didn't like owing others favors. Since he had taken his flying boat, he ultimately had to give something in return.

In the Mandarin Duck Tower, when Shen Nian released the power of "Dao," he clearly saw the look of excitement in Guo Dewu's eyes. However, Shen Nian didn't mention it at all. If Guo Dewu had proactively asked him to pass on the Void Returning Dao, Shen Nian would never have agreed, and might have even walked away without finishing his meal.

Yet, the other party never brought it up, and even until he was about to leave, he had no intention of asking. This gave Shen Nian a bit more favorable impression of him.

That was why he passed on the Dao...

"This consumption compared to the speed is still acceptable..." Shen Nian looked at the Spirit Stone rapidly being consumed on the spirit disk in the center of the flying boat, his expression calm.

In just the blink of an eye, over a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones had been consumed.

For Shen Nian, it wasn't much.

After all, rushing to the Dragon Transformation Pool to improve Xiao Qinger's strength was the priority.

"Right!"

"Now that there is one more, I should also boost Xia Youyue's strength. I don't know if she has ever entered the Dragon Transformation Pool..."

Shen Nian suddenly realized that he now had two Junior Sisters, and he could totally do it simultaneously; there was no need to do it one by one.

At this moment.

Xia Youyue and Xiao Qinger were looking around with great curiosity at the hazy, colorful spatial barriers.

Even Xia Youyue, as a royal princess, was seeing the scenes within space for the first time.

"Don't look at these colorful things as if they are beautiful; even if a Soul Transformation expert touches them, they would be obliterated, body and soul..." The Female Yan Emperor's voice echoed in Xiao Qinger's ears.

"Lord Female Yan Emperor, when can one stop fearing spatial turbulence?"

"Naturally, only after the Soul Transformation stage can one traverse the starry sky. If one ascends to the White Jade Capital and achieves Union with Dao, that is plucking stars and stepping on the moon, like an immortal descending upon the world..."
