27: Chapter 27 Sword Intent Takes Shape?
That Aura, even a master of the Carefree Heaven Realm would find it hard to match.
Golden True Qi swirled around his body, causing even the air to distort and deform under the influence of this power.
Behind him, a golden bird seemed to manifest, spreading its wings and crying out.
The Golden Crow Formula had been pushed to its absolute limit.
Within his eyes, a golden light also flickered.
On Li Hanyi's side, the Cheng Ying Sword was held horizontally before her.
As a divine Sharp Weapon, it possessed its own spirituality.
Su Rui had lent this sword to Li Hanyi, and her talent in the Dao of the sword had earned the recognition of the Cheng Ying Sword.
Her left hand tightly gripped the scabbard, while her right hand held the hilt.
The long sword was held across her chest, as strands of icy blue Internal Energy emerged around her.
That blue True Qi, like silk and threads, slowly gathered into the Cheng Ying Sword in her hand.
Strands of icy blue True Qi floated like ribbons, making Li Hanyi look like a Fairy who had descended into the mortal world.
Her smooth black hair fluttered and danced under the agitation of the True Qi.
Her gaze was pious and firm.
Clang!
A soft sound emanated from the scabbard.
Though soft, it seemed to explode in everyone's ears.
The golden light in Song Jinyang's eyes surged as he suddenly leapt into the air, turning into a golden shadow.
The peculiar long saber in his hand seemed to transform into a giant blade dozens of zhang long, held high above his head by both of Song Jinyang's hands as he leapt into mid-air.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, that giant golden saber sliced through the sky, carving out a massive arc of light as it fell towards Li Hanyi standing on the ground.
The powerful Qi energy permeated a hundred zhang radius; those with weaker strength couldn't even stand steadily.
The white-haired youth holding a sword narrowed his eyes slightly.
As expected, the power of this move was just as he predicted, reaching the level of a full-strength strike from the Fuyao Realm of the Carefree Heaven Realm.
It was even approaching the threshold of the Great Carefree Realm.
He had already made a judgment in his heart regarding this strike—that young girl likely wouldn't be able to block it.
But he couldn't help but feel admiration for her fearless courage.
Wanwan stood on the roof of the tavern, watching this strike with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
If it were her receiving this strike, she knew she would have no possibility of meeting it head-on.
Even if she used the ultimate techniques from the Heavenly Demon Strategy, it would be difficult to endure.
Shi Feixuan's eyes lit up, showing quite some appreciation for Song Jinyang's strength.
It seemed he truly had hope of stepping into the Carefree Heaven Realm and becoming a Grandmaster of his generation.
That peerlessly overbearing Saber Intent could even be sensed throughout the entire Snow Moon City.
Inside the Ascending Heaven Pavilion,
Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng turned simultaneously, their gazes casting toward the same direction in unison.
At extreme speed, a thin figure held a heavy long saber high, about to strike down.
"Heh, this guy is finally getting serious. I didn't expect him to be able to accumulate such an Aura!"
They didn't know the specific situation on the field.
But the result could be roughly foreseen.
With that person secretly supporting from behind, this Song Jinyang couldn't cause much of a stir.
The heavy blade edge fell fiercely, accompanied by a wild wind.
The entire tavern seemed as if it would be split in half by the strike.
Sikong Qianluo's face was deathly pale.
The power of this strike far exceeded her estimations, and her heart was now filled with worry for Li Hanyi's safety.
The expressions of Mu Liangyue and the other two women were also extremely shocked.
The power of this strike was almost comparable to the strongest attacks they used when besieging their family elders during daily practice.
For this person to be able to execute such an awe-inspiring offensive, it seemed he truly possessed some real skill.
As for the rest of the crowd, they already felt pity for Li Hanyi in their hearts.
For such an exceptionally talented woman with peerless sword dao gifts, was she to perish under this fatal blow?
...
Song Jinyang, having leapt into the air, poured all the breath in his body into the jinyang saber in his hand.
His eyes were fixed on Li Hanyi below, who was surrounded by blue ribbons.
At this very moment, he felt this was the most sharp and fierce strike of his life.
The immense pressure and his full-concentration response made him feel as if he had touched the threshold of the Carefree Heaven Realm.
He even felt that after this battle, it was highly likely he would Breakthrough his Realm.
Thinking of this, Song Jinyang had already forgotten the previous instructions from the Sacred Cult messenger—
To capture Li Hanyi alive.
With this strike, he intended to completely slay Li Hanyi before him.
Thinking that a sword dao genius would fall by his saber, the golden light in Song Jinyang's eyes grew even more intense.
Just as everyone was watching that seemingly unstoppable saber light descending from the sky in shock,
The sound of a blade slowly leaving its scabbard suddenly rang out.
The sound was clear and bright; just hearing the sound of the sword being drawn, one knew it was a famous sword.
Though the sound of it leaving the scabbard was short, it seemed to be elongated in everyone's ears, as if time itself had slowed down.
With a clear Dragon's roar, a beam of azure light burst forth from the scabbard.
The blue light overflowed, scattering like starlight.
Everyone was dazed by the sight.
It was as if the surrounding space had dimmed, leaving only that beautiful figure holding the blue light shining brightly in everyone's eyes.
Seeing this scene, a gratified smile appeared on Su Rui's face.
As expected of a Disciple I personally trained; her Sword Intent has been formed.
In the distance, a white-haired youth holding a long sword saw this scene, and a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes.
Is this Sword Intent Manifestation?
His heart jolted; this Song Jinyang's luck was simply too poor.
The enemy he faced had actually comprehended her own Sword Intent at the critical moment.
Thinking that Song Jinyang was one of the important figures in this operation and might Breakthrough to the Heaven Realm after the battle, becoming a powerful general, he couldn't be lost here.
The white-haired youth uncrossed his arms, preparing to pull out the Jade Slip at his waist to offer assistance.
But at that moment, a sword light sliced through the Void Realm, suddenly appearing before him.
The white-haired youth, who was about to draw his sword to save Song Jinyang, was startled upon seeing this sword light.
He swung the Jade Sword in his hand to meet the sword light.
Silent and soundless!
The Jade Sword and the sword light collided without making any sound.
But the white-haired youth's body jolted violently, as if struck by lightning, and his face instantly turned several shades paler.
He forcibly suppressed the metallic taste of blood rising to his throat and the shock in his heart.
Gripping his sword and swinging rapidly, he quickly retreated backward.
A Sword Intent that seemed capable of tearing everything apart was rampaging through his body.
And all of this went unnoticed and unobserved by anyone.
Everyone's gaze was firmly captured by the figure holding the blue light.
So beautiful!
These words couldn't help but surface in Wanwan's heart, completely stunned by Li Hanyi.
Shi Feixuan's eyes were also full of wonder and shock.
As for those present, they simply couldn't figure out what was happening before them.
Sikong Qianluo's mouth hung open, her eyes filled with a daze that followed her anxiety.
Mu Liangyue and the other two women also showed stunned expressions in their eyes.
In the next moment, everyone felt as if they were in some kind of illusion.
Scenes began to unfold before their eyes.
A young girl wearing a coarse short shirt, holding a tree branch, was herding a flock of sheep among green mountains and clear waters.
Everyone's hearts were filled with doubt.
Only a very few well-informed individuals understood what this scene meant!
This was Sword Intent Manifestation; this sword-wielding girl had actually realized her own Sword Intent at this moment?
Those who understood the significance of this scene were terrified in their hearts, shocked beyond measure.
Once one mastered Sword Intent, becoming a Sword Immortal was merely a matter of time.
Even if their current cultivation was shallow, their combat power was enough to kill powerful enemies across levels.
She truly was a sword dao genius girl rare in hundreds of years.
The scenes before everyone's eyes continued to flow.
The girl encountered a White Ape and played with it while holding a tree branch.
That White Ape was also exceptionally intelligent, also wielding a branch to spar with the girl.
The two of them moved rapidly, their offense and defense alternating like two flashes of lightning.
Immediately after, the scene shifted; a few drunken swordsmen revealed their cruel nature, cutting one of the girl's herded sheep in half at the waist with a single sword strike.
The girl had an unyielding character and felt rage, but the swordsman had a face full of disdain.
Promptly, the girl used the tree branch to pierce through his wrist.
All of this was witnessed by a youth in luxurious clothes in the distance.
Scene after scene flashed before everyone's eyes.
Those who understood the deep meaning within felt an irrepressible excitement in their hearts.
This was a peerless swordsman revealing her Sword Intent.
The onlookers all had an Opportunity; their understanding of the Dao of the sword would likely be much stronger than before.
The scenes continued to flow, and the final image that appeared before everyone's eyes left their hearts shocked.
A delicate and lovely young girl, holding a single tree branch, was sweeping through two thousand armored swordsmen.
No one could parry a single strike from her.
A single tree branch defeated all Two Thousand Armored Soldiers!
Finally, the scene of the girl leaving in tears caused a surge of bitterness in the hearts of everyone who saw it.
Many people secretly cursed that youth in luxurious clothes for being cold-hearted and ungrateful.
Sikong Qianluo's eyes were already brimming with tears.
Mu Liangyue and the others also had red-rimmed eyes.
When the Sword Intent condensed, that Concept made everyone present feel the same emotions.
...
Tears also welled up in the corners of Wanwan's eyes, and she nearly ground her teeth to pieces.
She wished she could personally kill that beast!
In her view, the man in luxurious clothes in those scenes was a heartless man who seduced and then abandoned her.
As a woman of the Demonic Sect who acted freely but with principles, Wanwan hated that man to the bone.
Not far away, tears also appeared in Shi Feixuan's eyes.
She also felt resonance with the shepherd girl's experiences.
Toward that youth in luxurious clothes, she was filled with disdain.
Just as everyone was feeling pity for the shepherd girl, all the scenes seemed to be swallowed by a point in the Void Realm.
A view of a back, with the girl holding a sword pointing diagonally at the ground, slowly emerged.
"Shattering Star!"
A clear shout struck deep into everyone's Soul.
In an instant, as if everyone had suddenly snapped awake, they saw the girl holding the blue sword light turn into a stream of light, charging toward the giant blade falling from the sky.
The stream of light collided with the golden blade, and a dazzling light exploded outward.
Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.
A blue sword shadow swept across the giant golden saber and Song Jinyang, piercing straight into the high-altitude clouds.
As if it were about to split the horizon apart.
When everyone opened their eyes again, everything had returned to tranquility.
Song Jinyang's gaze was calm, with a hint of a sense of closure in his eyes.
"What sword technique is this?"
"Yue Maiden Sword Technique."
Song Jinyang nodded slightly, and a thin red line quietly appeared on his neck, yet no blood was seen seeping out.
It was as if the injury was internal, while the exterior remained perfectly intact.
