Protect Our Chief-Chapter 499 - 18: Spirit Body! Primordial Water Sword Intent (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

Chapter 499: Chapter 18: Spirit Body! Primordial Water Sword Intent (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

The crowd held their breath collectively.

However, in everyone’s eyes, Wang Liyao, who should have been the most nervous, instead had the most relaxed expression on her face.

In fact, not only was she not nervous, she even curled her lips.

She had initially thought she was at fault and should give the other party some face, but since he was so tactless, he couldn’t blame her.

In a flash, her hand finally pressed on the hilt of her sword at her waist.

"Clang~!"

A long, resounding sword cry echoed as the "Qiushui Sword" was suddenly unsheathed!

Yes, her current sword was precisely the Upper Grade Spirit Sword "Qiushui Sword" that belonged to her mother, Liua Ruolan.

Before coming to the Academy, Liua Ruolan, worrying about Wang Liyao, thought that since she was rarely active while at the family, decided to lend the "Qiushui Sword" to her, saying that she should return it once she found a more suitable sword for herself in the future.

Moreover, with Liua Ruolan’s current Cultivation Realm, her need for the Qiushui Sword was decreasing. She was more inclined to seek out a powerful Magical Treasure in the future.

At this moment, it was time for the "Qiushui Sword" to showcase its brilliance.

With the sword cry, Wang Liyao’s aura suddenly surged.

In the next moment, fierce Sword Qi shot out in all directions, and the Qiushui Sword rose into the air, abruptly unleashing a torrent of Sword Qi.

"Condensing Water into a Sword, Dividing Light into Shadows."

Holding her Sword Technique with both hands, her jade-like fingers pointed forward, performing the same "Water Shadow Sword Technique" as Senior Brother Le Xian.

In an instant.

A vast amount of Water Spirit Qi seemed to sense something, frantically gathering, even causing waves on the calm Yuan Water Celestial Lake.

In the next moment.

"Buzz~~~~~"

With a long sword cry, the Qiushui Sword trembled and suddenly split into nine identical, water-like illusory sword shadows!

As the Sword Array formed, a terrifying pressure erupted suddenly.

In an instant, even the surrounding air seemed filled with countless fine Sword Qi, becoming sharp and murderous. A few petals spiraled down from the sky, and before they hit the ground, were sliced into countless fragments by the surging sword light.

"Nine, nine sword shadows?!"

The disciples of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage present all widened their eyes almost simultaneously, their voices trembling.

Nine sword shadows, this was the limit of the Water Shadow Sword Technique! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Legend had it that once one mastered the Water Shadow Sword Technique to the extent of splitting it into nine shadows, there was an opportunity to comprehend Sword Intent and thus break through the current Realm, with one foot in the door of the Celestial Human Realm.

This girl is just a few years old, and she has already mastered the nine sword shadows?!

Only Little Jiu, the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle who was ordered not to participate in this dispute, stared wide-eyed at this scene, feeling both expected and extremely excited.

Truly worthy of being the opportunity host that Ancestor Grandfather spoke of, the master is indeed powerful and incredible. How could someone like Le Xian compare to the master?

At the same time.

Senior Brother Le Xian’s face also changed drastically, overwhelmed by the storm surging in his heart.

Nine swords, she actually manifested nine Primordial Water Sword Shadows... What on earth is happening in this world?

Although he had anticipated that this girl was not simple, he never expected Wang Liyao’s strength to be so formidable. In the Spirit Platform Realm, to be able to transform the Water Shadow Sword into nine sword shadows was something he had never heard or seen.

In an instant, a tinge of regret swept through his heart. Regardless of her background, he should not have provoked this girl.

However, the water was already spilled, and it was too late for regrets now.

At this point, Le Xian could only frantically mobilize the Profound Qi within him, fully unleashing his Water Shadow Sword Technique to its utmost. Hoping that the Water Shadow Sword she divided was forced to increase in quantity, and each sword’s power was far less than his.

In just the blink of an eye, the two Sword Arrays clashed in mid-air.

"Boom~~~!"

Amidst the deafening roar, Le Xian’s six sword shadows lasted less than a breath before being shattered by the powerful Sword Array composed of nine sword shadows.

Wang Liyao’s nine sword shadows shattered only five, with the remaining four continuing their momentum, speeding towards Le Xian.

Le Xian’s face changed dramatically. How, how, how... how is this possible? Not only is he far inferior to the opponent in the number of Primordial Water Sword Shadows, but also in quality.

In a flash, he only had time to summon a Lower-Grade Primordial Water Spirit Shield to protect himself, before his figure was entirely overwhelmed by the sword shadows.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of collision sounds rang out continuously.

Amidst the heavy sword shadows, Senior Brother Le Xian almost exerted all his strength, deploying a Primordial Water Spirit Shield to guard himself tightly, while frantically urging his body technique. His figure shifted rapidly like flowing water, striving desperately to evade the sword shadows.

After arduously dissolving the remaining four sword shadows one by one, most of the Profound Qi within him had been depleted, and his internal organs were shaken to the point of boiling blood, with a few strands of blood uncontrollably seeping from the corners of his mouth.

The disciples of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage present were stunned by this scene until they finally reacted, emanating a chorus of astonished cries.

"Wow! So strong!"

"Oh my god, this is too incredible!"

It was only until now that someone realized Wang Liyao’s sword in her hand turned out to be an "Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact"! If it were merely an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, it would be fine, but, but her mastery and understanding of the Water Shadow Sword Technique of the Yuan Water Lineage were truly beyond their comprehension.

An excited senior brother grabbed the stupefied Lu Xianghui, urgently asking, "Lu Xianghui, be honest, what’s the background of this junior sister you picked up?"

"I-I-I, I don’t know either~~"

Lu Xianghui was also utterly bewildered, his innocence reaching the extreme.

He had merely encountered Wang Liyao by chance at Qianqiu Hall and was only convinced to act as a mere guide after some persuasion from her, so how could he know her origin?

If he had known Wang Liyao was so powerful, he would have treated her with utmost respect earlier, where would he dare to casually call her "junior sister"?

He felt a chill down his spine, like an old man swallowing arsenic, courting death. Who is this junior sister? Even Senior Sister Yuyun is far from comparable! If he had to name his current sentiment, he would rather call her—Ancestor!

"Reciprocating is only polite." Amid the crowd’s exclamations, Wang Liyao’s slightly icy voice came again, "Senior Brother Le Xian, as the Core Disciple, you do not get along with your peers, relying on your status to bully others, utterly disgracing the face of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage."

"Today, I shall teach you a lesson on behalf of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage."

As her words fell, Wang Liyao’s toe touched the ground, and her figure instantly soared into the air.

In mid-air, she suddenly stretched out her delicate jade-like hand, and the Qiushui Sword automatically fell into her palm.

Instantly.

Her already immensely powerful aura surged again.

A massive amount of Water Spirit Qi gathered and converged towards her like rivers flowing into the sea.

The dense Water Spirit Qi swirled around her, so abundant that it emitted water-blue glimmers, so potent that even without spiritual sense, one could clearly perceive the surging energy around her.

The strong winds stirred, tossing her ink-black hair and fluttering her clothes, she embodied the image of a Divine Lady in water, exuding an inviolable aura.

Under such a demeanour, even her "ordinary" face seemed to change into something extraordinary.

The crowd’s gazes were irresistibly drawn to her, each holding their breath in awe, almost forgetting to breathe.

Under the watchful eyes of all.

Wang Liyao’s wrist flicked, and the Qiushui Sword swept across the sky.

In an instant, a water-like sword light shot through the air like a rainbow, swiftly attacking Senior Brother Le Xian.

The sword light was fierce, yet as it sliced through the air, it emitted no sound.

Compared to the previously overwhelming nine sword shadows, the might released by this one sword was even less than a tenth of their strength, not even as bright as the glowing spirit lights it shed.

However, within that sword light, a faintly elusive, indescribable mental realm emerged like the horizontal waves of autumn water, yet also resembling the transformation of spring water into shadow, like light, and like water.

Instantly, the vast waves of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake surged, with countless Spirit Fish startled, leaping from the lake surface, stirring countless splashes and ripples.

"Sword Intent!"

"It’s actually Sword Intent!"

The disciples of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage were dumbfounded, so stunned their breathing nearly ceased.

Primordial Water Sword Intent! They had only seen it in rare instances among the Celestial Human Realm’s direct disciples before!
