Divine Brilliance

Not only people hurling abuse, nine seven-meridian Mythic Masters came out from the carriages, two more than Yin Yang had spoken about. All their expressions were really serious as they looked towards the river. They led over ten Martial Masters to have a standoff with the ten who were dressed up as servants.

On the opposite side of the river it was the same situations. Swords were pulled out and crossbows were equipped, a battle was a spark away from happening.

Zong Shou smiled to himself, knowing that these merchants must have felt that they had enough strength to start to create some trouble.

Actually those servants weren’t weak, either. However, the hardest to deal with should be the man beside the waterfall.

This time it was highly likely they were asking for trouble.

After a short while, the man beside the giant blade was annoyed. He directly scoffed coldly, shaking the air in the area.

That giant blade rose from the ground suddenly and stabbed right at the river crossing. His mountain-like intent suppressed both sides of the shoreline.

Normal people didn’t know much about martial arts and didn’t feel anything. Those martial cultivators all felt their bodies tremble. A few of the Mythic Masters felt their heads go dizzy and their faces turned ashen white. Those with weak foundations even half knelt on the ground, fear appearing on their faces.

“All of you, scram! I, Old Lei, have travelled all five continents to comprehend blade intent. Today I had some rough idea, but you all disturbed me! Do you all want to die?!”

His voice like thunder as he created sound ripples all about. The owner of the giant blade was really annoyed. However, he suppressed it. “No one will pass this place for ten days!”

Suddenly he waved his sleeve, and hundreds of beast crystals casually appeared. “I don’t care how much you lose, these beast crystals should be enough compensation. After half a month, you are allowed to come over!”

Those Martial Masters and coachmen were speechless. They knew that they had angered a very strong person. To be able to wield such a giant steel blade, if he was a spirit master he would be at least at the Out of Body Realm. If he was a martial cultivator, he would be at least at the Ascended Realm.

His words were showing mercy to them, and they all turned around and left. In just a short while, hundreds of carriages turned around, kicking up a lot of dust as they galloped back the way they came.

Zong Shou got his hands on one of the beast crystals. Looking closely at it, it was a Grade Two water element crystal. His eyes couldn’t help but shine, thinking about how generous this person was. A Grade Two beast Crystal was about ten thousand silvers. However large one’s loses were, they were definitely compensated.

Looking at the expression of those merchants, they were terrified and also delighted. It was obvious that they had earned a lot.

Zong Shou was filled with praise. This person had the ability, but restrained himself from abusing it.

His annoyed feeling also disappeared. Occupying the opening and not allowing people to pass was a little too overbearing. But even though those people who insulted him, not only did he not take revenge, he even took out beast crystals to compensate them. Such a personality couldn’t be considered too bad, no matter what.

Yin Yang was starting to turn the eighteen Cloud Stepping Foals around. After travelling for around a thousand feet, Chuxue asked curiously, “Prince, is the blade intent he mentioned similar to the sword intent Uncle Yin and you were talking about? Could he comprehend such a thing from the mountain and water?”

“Nearly the same! When one has a bare grasp of the martial path, one could see the rhythm. Once your rhythm reaches a certain level, it would become strength. When your strength gets strong enough, it becomes sense. Sword intent and blade intent are really similar, just that they change because of the weapon. At that stage, one would be far along on the path of martial cultivation. This person said he had travelled to many mountains and rivers, it seems his intent has something to do with them.”

Zong Shou didn’t think too much and casually explained, following which he felt a little helpless. “Our luck is just too good, to be able to bump into an ascended expert here!”

Chuxue’s eyes lit up, “The demon women said that the prince’s sword is already one with the spirit, and you understand three types of sword intent. This person is comprehending blade intent, so isn’t he weaker than you?”

Zong Shou’s heart jumped, instinctively wanting to shut her mouth. An Ascended Realm expert, even when totally focused, could hear everything within twenty miles. They were still around ten thousand feet away, so how could she casually say those words?

He was bullied by Lingyun Sect. Forcing back Zhao Yanran was because he had no choice. Experts like these, it was best if he didn’t make enemies with them at this stage.

However before he could do anything, a surprised exclamation appeared by the waterfall, “Sword art one with the spirit? Little Brother, please come out!”

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed, standing blankly on the rooftop and acting like he didn’t hear that.

In the next moment there was a gigantic strength that grabbed him from that direction. Zong Shou was sucked up and after feeling the world around him twist and turn, he appeared next to the waterfall, beside the master of the giant blade.

“Prince!” Yin Yang exclaimed, abandoning the carriage. His entire person was like lightning as he chased his liege. In just a few breaths, he crossed two miles. After taking out his blade, he forcibly pushed away those servants.

Before he got close, that hundred-foot giant blade gave out a long ringing, and another strong intent suppressed him.

Yin Yang was pushed back, and only after hundreds of feet did he stabilize. Using his blade to support himself, his face was totally green. Under that intent, he could barely hold on.

Zong Shou didn’t stop him. Looking at the man ahead of him, he realized that he was actually really young. He was about twenty-odd years old, his five features were nice, and he was a really handsome guy. However, he didn’t shave and his whole face was covered in a beard bristling like steel needles. His body was tall and strong, his eyes sharp and his aura was really overbearing.

Who knows why, but he actually felt really close to him, perhaps because of the intent in the blade.

The master of the blade was similarly judging Zong Shou, “Someone said your sword art is one with the spirit? Which famous martial expert said that?”

Zong Shou felt his head hurt, knowing that experts at that level hated people lying to them. He calmed down and replied, “A while ago I met Seven Spirit Sect’s Zhao Yanran.”

“Her?” The master of the giant blade was slightly startled, but calmed down. “Although her ability is a little weak, her eye for people won’t be wrong. But you are just thirteen, to say your sword art is one with the spirit and you know three sword intents, is that person crazy? Whose disciple are you? No, you are only at the Martial Master level, and you have a Dual Meridian Body…”

Zong Shou smiled, not bothering what this person thought, anyways he didn’t want to make enemies with him. In the next instant, the master of the giant blade shook his head, “Since she commended you like that, even if she exaggerated a little, I bet you have some talents in martial arts. I, Old Lei, need someone to evaluate me.”

While he spoke, he suddenly struck out with his fist. There was no sound, but two giant blade lines appeared on a rock a hundred yards out. He pointed out towards the giant mountain and the waterfall. “What do you think about this mountain and this water? What about my blade intent?”

Zong Shou sighed several times inside, not daring to not answer carefully. He focused and looked carefully, then shook his head, “This mountain is a mountain, a mirror-like mountain. This water is water, water like a waterfall curtain. As for the blade intent, there are simple too many chisel marks, they are too heavy and aren’t anything spectacular. You seem to know this yourself, so why do you need to ask me?”

The face of the giant blade owner instantly turned green.
