Protect Our Chief-Chapter 500 - 19: Great Celestial Pride Liyao! Battle Celestial Human (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
...
The so-called sword intent refers to the "intent" that is understood from swordsmanship after reaching a certain level in its cultivation.
Generally speaking, Black Tortoise Cultivators only comprehend sword intent after reaching the Celestial Human Realm, and some may never comprehend it even at that point.
But there are always exceptions. In this world, there are always some people with exceptional attributes like aptitude, comprehension, and bloodline talent, who can comprehend their own "sword intent" while still in the Spirit Platform Realm.
Therefore, there has always been a saying that once a Spirit Platform Realm Cultivator forms their sword intent, it’s tantamount to having one foot in the Celestial Human Realm.
And those who can achieve this step are all undeniably strong in the future!
"Am I seeing things?" Senior Brother Zhenghua widened his eyes, too shocked to speak coherently, "She, she, she..."
Senior Sister Yuyun felt her scalp tingle: "Oh my heavens! Isn’t she not even twenty yet?"
The impact on Lu Xianghui was even greater.
At this moment, his mind was almost blank, leaving only one thought: Senior Brother Le Xian, it’s over...
The sword intent soared across the sky, like autumn waters spanning across waves.
In what seemed like an instant, that mysterious sword light spanned several yards, rippling like water across a lake, lightly arriving before Senior Brother Le Xian.
An indescribable sense of terrible crisis suddenly seized his heart, his scalp tingled, and his whole body shivered almost uncontrollably.
It’s over!
In his heart, fear surged up, and he frantically circulated his Profound Qi, controlling the Middle-Grade Spirit Sword, the Lishui Sword, to fully exhibit his swordsmanship, trying to fend it off.
However, sword intent, being so revered by sword cultivators, wasn’t something easy to block!
Almost at the instant when the Primordial Water Sword Intent touched the Lishui Sword, its terrifying might erupted like a volcanic explosion, crashing directly onto the Lishui Sword in his hand.
"Puh~"
His whole body trembled, and a mouthful of blood was uncontrollably spat out.
Meanwhile, like a cannonball, he was thrown backward, crashing heavily onto the Turtle Sunbathing Platform behind him.
With a "bang," the Turtle Sunbathing Platform instantly shattered into pieces.
Senior Brother Le Xian’s body shook again, another mouthful of blood spurted out, staining his robe crimson.
However, this was far from over.
In the sky, the shattered sword intent didn’t fully dissipate; instead, it transformed into countless small fragments of sword shadows, enveloping Senior Brother Le Xian’s head.
The wind howled, and the sword shadows rained down, enveloping Senior Brother Le Xian.
It’s over!
Despair flashed in Senior Brother Le Xian’s eyes.
With severe internal injuries, even moving was difficult, it was utterly impossible for him to evade this sword rain.
If struck by this sword rain, though not resulting in death, he would at least be bedridden for years, potentially even losing his position as the core disciple, let alone being a direct disciple.
"Junior Sister! Miss Liyao! Stay your sword!"
Seeing this, Senior Brother Zhenghua and Senior Sister Yuyun panicked.
Although they found Senior Brother Le Xian disagreeable, they certainly didn’t wish for him to be crippled. At such a moment, if there was a chance, they would still try to help.
However, everything happened too fast, they weren’t mentally prepared, and were too far from the battlefield, making it impossible to assist in time.
Watching as Senior Brother Le Xian was about to be engulfed by the sword rain.
Suddenly.
A water-colored brilliance suddenly appeared over the lake.
It carried a surging might, arriving instantly beside Senior Brother Le Xian, transforming into a circular water-colored shield condensed from Water Spirit Qi, enveloping him completely.
The sword shadows, like raindrops, fell on this shield but shattered like hitting a bronze wall.
A moment later, the sword shadows dissipated, yet the circular shield remained steadfast.
The crowd unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, a figure flickered in mid-air, descending through the void, landing in front of Senior Brother Le Xian.
This figure appeared as an elder, solemn and majestic, with the emblem of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake lineage embroidered on his sky-blue robe, making it clear he was an elder of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake lineage.
With his arrival, a powerful oppressive force swept around like a tide.
Everyone’s expressions became involuntarily serious, even Wang Liyao descended slowly from the sky, no longer continuing her attack.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Senior Brother Le Xian felt a sense of surviving a catastrophe, quickly struggled to stand and cupped his hands: "Le Xian greets Grandfather."
"How many times have I told you, in the academy, you must call me Elder." The elder wearing the attire of the Yuan Water Lineage slightly furrowed his brow, expressing displeasure, "Le Xian, what on earth happened? Why are you fighting your fellow sect members in public? Causing such a mess?"
"Elder Shang, the situation is like this..."
Senior Brother Le Xian’s face turned pale, hurriedly bowing his head and explaining quickly.
"Elder Shang, it’s actually Elder Shang who has arrived." Seeing this, Senior Brother Zhenghua’s expression subtly changed, "This is not good, that young girl is likely to suffer."
Senior Sister Yuyun’s eyes also revealed a trace of worry: "Elder Shang is always strict and protective, I hope that girl’s backing is strong."
Besides them, who dared to whisper a few words, the other ordinary disciples, even the excellent ones, were all in silent panic, not daring to utter a half-word.
Although everyone nominally was a disciple of Yuan Shui Ascendant, most of the cultivation techniques and guidance were actually conducted by the elders.
