67: Chapter 67 Oh no, it seems we've gone too far!

Clang!!!~~~

Just as Pei Yunshu and her group of women were about to leave, the entire world suddenly shuddered slightly. A majestic Extinction Blade Intent, biting and bone-chilling, filled with endless lethal extinction, erupted violently from the plaque at the main gate of the Chengtian Academy!

As the Saber Intent swept across the sky, a clear, high-pitched, and resonant clang of a saber shot straight into the clouds, echoing throughout the entire Prefectural Academy and beyond!

In an instant, a gale arose!

The surrounding air seemed to be frozen by this supreme Saber Intent; the world was filled with the biting, world-extinguishing Saber Qi.

In Chengtian Prefecture, those who had just been whispering and laughing had their expressions change drastically in an instant. They subconsciously stopped in their tracks, turning their heads in astonishment to look in the direction of the Prefectural Academy.

The century-old plaque, which had been silent for so long, had now erupted with such earth-shattering power, shocking everyone.

Thump!!!~~~

Thump!!!~~~

Thump!!!~~~

The next moment, within a radius of more than ten miles in front of the Prefectural Academy gate, everyone—whether they were passersby, examinees, or teachers of the Prefectural Academy who had already stepped into the Innate Realm—was tightly enveloped by this earth-shaking Extinction Blade Intent.

A supreme pressure originating from the highest Realm of martial arts crashed down, seeping into their limbs and bones, drilling into their Divine Soul and Sea of Consciousness.

Everyone felt their blood and Qi stagnate, their muscles and bones go numb. Their bodies trembled violently beyond their control, their legs instantly went weak, and they fell to their knees one after another.

It was not that they wanted to submit and kneel!

It was simply that this Saber Intent was too overbearing and majestic, containing the supreme Saber Intent of a Great Grandmaster throughout his life—a terrifying power akin to the momentum of heaven and earth. Their Physical Body and spirit were completely suppressed; they could not straighten their bodies and could only bow and kneel involuntarily.

Only one person remained!

He was dressed in a plain white robe, his posture as straight as a pine tree, letting the surrounding murderous saber waves surge and rage.

The hem of his clothes fluttered slightly; from beginning to end, he stood firmly in place, never bending his knees, not swaying in the slightest.

The overwhelming Extinction Blade Intent surrounding him landed on him, only to dissipate silently like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to shake his figure in the slightest.

His closed-eye face was calm and indifferent. The Void Realm around him seemed to twist, and a wisp of Saber Intent slowly rose, faintly resonating with the supreme Saber Intent on the plaque.

"It's him!"

"It's him!!"

"It's him!!!"

"Why is it him?!"

"Who is he?!"

At this moment, everyone kneeling in front of the Prefectural Academy had their pupils constrict, their hearts shaken, and they looked at the solitary figure in disbelief.

County Magistrate Zhang Xuanming of Wurong County, dean Instructor Fan Suiyun of the County Academy, Old Ancestor Zhou Tong of the Zhou Family, and students of the Wurong County Academy like Xiao Qiyuan and Zhou Shuyan, along with everyone who had come with Chen An, were kneeling on the ground, each of them staring at Chen An with wide eyes.

Their faces and eyes were full of disbelief.

And Pei Yunshu, who had just been about to turn and leave, was now also kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, looking at Chen An with astonishment and shock. A stormy sea raged in her heart; she could not believe what she was seeing.

"How could it be him?!"

"How is it possible that it is him?!"

In her heart, Chen An was just an ordinary youth with only a Mid-grade Martial Bone and low cultivation.

His future was mediocre, and he would hardly achieve anything great!

But now, the entire world was suppressed by the Great Grandmaster Saber Intent, and all living beings bowed their heads, yet this person stood tall and unyielding, even able to merge and resonate with the supreme Saber Intent.

How could this not shock her?!

How could this not terrify her?!

And just as this supreme Saber Intent was triggered, shocking the world, deep within the Chengtian Academy!

"This energy... is it Extinction Blade Intent?!"

"Who has triggered the Extinction Blade Intent that has been silent for a hundred years?!"

"Such a majestic and murderous pressure, it truly is that legacy Saber Intent fully awakening!"

In an instant, many Grandmasters and even top-tier experts at the Great Grandmaster level who were in seclusion within the Prefectural Academy suddenly opened their eyes.

Some were shocked, some were astonished, and some older generation experts showed joy. Their gazes pierced through layers of buildings and mountains, locking onto the location of the Prefectural Academy's main gate from afar.

The next moment, figures with immensely thick auras broke out of their quiet rooms.

They stepped into the Void Realm!

Their robes rustled, and they all flew rapidly towards the Prefectural Academy gate, wanting to see for themselves and find out who had touched this long-sealed supreme Saber Intent.

[Ding!]

[One thousand years of deducing the Demonic Saber Intent complete!]

In front of the Prefectural Academy gate!

A cold voice rang in Chen An's mind, bringing him back from that world-extinguishing Saber Dao Concept.

Chen An opened his eyes. Two biting cold rays of light suddenly flashed across his pitch-black pupils, sharp and compelling, turning into two tangible, brilliant saber lights that shot out from the depths of his eyes.

Puchi!!!~~~

The two saber lights struck the ground in front of the Prefectural Academy directly. The originally smooth, flat, and incredibly hard ground paved with black iron stone actually had two saber marks several feet long and several inches deep appear on it.

Hiss!!!~~~

Everyone kneeling on the ground around him couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene, their faces full of horror.

Just by opening and closing his eyes, his gaze turned into blades, splitting the incredibly hard black iron stone floor, leaving marks several feet long. Such a Divine Ability and power were simply shocking!

"Hoo!!!~~~"

Chen An let out a long breath of turbid air, and the wisp of world-extinguishing Saber Intent on his body slowly withdrew.

As he cut off the resonance between his own Saber rhythm and the ancient plaque's Saber Intent, the surging and restless Extinction Blade Intent on the plaque instantly went silent, slowly lying dormant and retracting.

The terrifying pressure that had previously enveloped more than ten miles and kept all living beings unable to move also vanished into thin air.

The crowd, who had been kneeling for a long time, finally gained relief. They supported themselves on the ground and stood up with difficulty, raising their hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads. Their hearts were still trembling, and the way they looked at Chen An had completely changed.

"Damn it!"

"Looks like I went a bit too far!"

Regaining his composure, he glanced around and saw everyone's eyes focused on him, full of awe, shock, and disbelief. The heavy gazes pressed down on him; even with his cultivation and Heart-Nature, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye slightly.

He hadn't expected that he had been too immersed in deducing the saber technique and hadn't controlled his strength well, directly triggering the Great Grandmaster Saber Intent sealed on the ancient plaque, causing such an earth-shattering commotion and shocking the entire scene.

Of course, Chen An felt no panic or fear in his heart. His Great Grandmaster Perfection cultivation was his strongest confidence.

"Chen An, you..."

Instructor Fan Suiyun, who was the first to regain his senses, swayed his body and stepped in front of Chen An, looking at him with eyes full of shock, surprise, and disbelief, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

Boom!!!~~~

However, before he could finish his sentence, suddenly, the Void Realm shook, and the sound of wind breaking through the air rang out.

Immediately after, the crowd in front of the Prefectural Academy saw several figures stepping through the air from inside the Prefectural Academy...
