Chapter 498: Chapter 174: Two Strong Fighters, Fifty Percent Sword Intent!
“Get lost!”
With a single shout from the elder with the Dragon Head Crutch, the entire space trembled, the earth shook, giving an overwhelming sense of irresistible pressure.
“What arrogance, no one in this world dares to tell members of the Ji Family to get lost! You won’t let me kill him, so today I must kill him!”
The Ji Family’s expert snorted coldly, his voice like blooming spring buds.
As the words fell, halos suddenly burst forth from his body, each radiant and brilliant, connecting to the void, his eyes bursting with endless divine splendor!
He stepped forward, standing high in the sky, surrounded by halos, looking down at the elder with the Dragon Head Crutch like a deity:
“Don’t think you can stop me with just a Martial Soul will!”
The elder with the Dragon Head Crutch showed no expression, his aura merging with that long Sword Qi, bearing the momentum of splitting the heavens, calmly saying:
“The Ji Family of Xuan Emperor Peak, with its ancient legacy, is indeed strong. But unfortunately, you are just this. Since you insist on killing him, I will have to annihilate this will projection of yours.”
Upon hearing this, the Ji Family’s expert’s eyes shot with anger, “Such arrogance! Let me show you my capabilities!”
As he spoke, the halos on the Ji Family’s expert flashed brilliantly, illuminating the sky as he directly raised his right hand to press down upon the elder with the Dragon Head Crutch.
Boom!
A vast wave of energy roiled like an ocean, sweeping across heaven and earth, endless divine splendor blossoming, transforming into a colossal hand that blotted out the sky, sparkling brilliantly.
Luo Cheng’s breath stalled, his heart filled with shock.
In his eyes, the heavens were no longer the heavens, the earth no longer the earth.
The area covered by the colossal hand seemed severed from the entire world, leaving only desolation and death!
Crack!
Under the colossal hand, the world suddenly cracked apart.
Countless black fissures crisscrossed, like a giant net descending upon Luo Cheng and the elder with the Dragon Head Crutch, threatening to annihilate them both completely.
The elder with the Dragon Head Crutch remained expressionless, gazing at the colossal hand, his eyes emitting a divine light, coldly uttering one word.
“Destroy!”
With that word, his hunched figure expanded endlessly, merging into the long Sword Shadow, uniting with heaven and man. A peculiar pulse spread out as the Sword Shadow expanded, rendering the world chaotic, blocking the colossal hand.
The entire realm stilled.
Then, a terrifying pulse pierced the sky, erupting like violent waves, one wave higher than the last, endless without pause!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…
Under this pulse, the surrounding mountains and rivers crumbled like sand, silently turning to dust.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding peaks vanished, leaving a deep gorge.
“So powerful!”
Luo Cheng was awed by this godlike technique, his eyes unblinkingly fixed, his breath held.
For the two combatants, this battle was merely to decide victory.
For him, however, it was a matter of life and death!
The Sword Shadow roared, its power majestic, while the colossal hand that blotted out the sky was gradually being worn down, and the Ji Family expert’s silhouette was rapidly dimming.
“Damn!”
The Ji Family expert roared in fury, his radiant halo trembling without stop, channeling all the power of his will projection into the colossal hand.
Yet, no matter how hard he tried, the Stunning Rainbow Sword Shadow remained as ancient and eternal as ever, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction, causing his offensive the moment it drew near to dissipate instantly!
In the end, the colossal hand was obliterated, the Sword Shadow slashing toward the image of the Ji Family expert with unrivaled momentum.
The power of destruction distorted the image of the Ji Family expert.
“Ah! Do not let me find out who you are! Otherwise, there will be no place for you in heaven or earth! Kill! Kill! Kill…”
Just as the image was swallowed by the Sword Shadow, the Ji Family expert turned toward the elder with the Dragon Head Crutch, issuing a series of indignant roars.
The next moment.
Bang!
The Ji Family expert’s image shattered like crystal, breaking into countless points of light and returning to nothingness!
With the Ji Family expert’s will projection vanquished, the awe-inspiring Sword Shadow rapidly shrank, leaving only the elder with the Dragon Head Crutch.
He turned, looking at Luo Cheng, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes:
“Awakening Vein Realm Fourth Layer Peak, and you’ve also comprehended the prototype of Sword Intent! Young one, to have awakened the Wasted Martial Soul for less than a year and yet achieve so much, it even surprises me.”
Luo Cheng respectfully said, “Thank you, elder, for your life-saving intervention!”
Had it not been for the elder, he would have surely perished, with no other outcome possible.
The elder with the Dragon Head Crutch shook his head lightly, “You saved my lady once; such a favor is greater than the heavens. This Martial Soul will was meant as a gift of thanks; now I’m just fulfilling my promise, no thanks needed.”
Ling Chulan’s figure flitted across his mind, prompting Luo Cheng to ask:
“Elder, I heard that you and Ling Chulan were ambushed near Guyuan City. How is Ling Chulan?”
“The lady is safe, as for the rest, you shouldn’t ask. Some things are better left unknown; otherwise, it’ll only bring you trouble.”
“I understand,” Luo Cheng nodded, asking no more.
Such a strong individual, yet he addressed Ling Chulan as ’my lady.’
Ling Chulan’s status is clearly extraordinary, beyond the level he can reach now.
“Alright, time is running out,”
Within a few words, the elder’s figure gradually dimmed as he looked at Luo Cheng and said:
“I left this Martial Soul will to save your life at a critical moment, never expecting your background to be linked with the Ji Family of Xuan Emperor Peak.”
“With the potential of a Wasted Martial Soul, to have cultivated to your current Realm in a year, you must have endured significant hardship and refuse to be ordinary. Since you are so determined, I shall lend you further aid to advance you even more!”
“I will embed the residual Martial Soul will into your Sea of Consciousness. It will aid your Sword Intent’s growth. How much you progress will depend on your own understanding!”
As his words fell, the elder formed a complex handprint and pointed at Luo Cheng.
Buzz!
A mysterious pulse emanated as the elder’s figure crumbled, transforming into an incomparably dazzling, peculiar point of light, shooting into Luo Cheng’s brow.
Boom!
Instantly, Luo Cheng felt a pure and vast energy rush into his body, including some Martial Arts experience.
This information was quite fragmented, likely due to the imminent collapse of the other party’s Martial Soul will.
Luo Cheng dared not delay, immediately sitting cross-legged to carefully comprehend.
Though fragmented, the elder’s insights are profound and endlessly fascinating, each word and phrase holding great depth, drawing Luo Cheng’s mind ever deeper.
After a moment.
Suddenly.
Buzz!
A breeze blew across the cliff.
Luo Cheng opened his eyes, slowly exhaling a breath.
This breath remained cohesive, shooting several meters ahead, eroding a boulder into tiny holes with its sharpness.
“Fifty percent Sword Intent!”
Luo Cheng’s eyes shone brightly.
After obliterating the Sun Family, his mindset evolved amidst slaughter, his Sword Intent growing to the Fourth Layer Peak.
Today, with the elder’s Martial Soul will assistance, his Sword Intent burst forth with unprecedented sharpness, successfully advancing to fifty percent Sword Intent!
Not only that, Luo Cheng could sense that his Sword Intent, just after breaking through, was incredibly solid, nearly at the fifty percent Peak level!
Breaking through to sixty percent Sword Intent won’t take long!
In the upcoming period, his strength is bound to progress rapidly!
“Ling Chulan! Elder! Thank you both!”
Luo Cheng murmured, turning his gaze to the other side, where Sun Yingyang awaited, his gaze gentle yet sharp.
