Chapter 460: Chapter 136: The Five Great Disciples! Forty Percent Sword Intent!
Luo Cheng, while sharpening the edge of his Sword Intent with the Sword King’s Will.
A desolate mountain range, thousands of miles away from the Xuanyuan Sect.
The barren mountain was located southwest of Linjiang City, spanning hundreds of miles, devoid of human activity.
On the mountain peak.
A massive boulder had been sliced into a stone table, around which sat five young men and women. Nearby stood a middle-aged man clad in gray robes.
The five young men and women were all powerhouses at the Middle Stage of the Awakening Vein Realm.
Among them, the aura of a man and a woman in the center was the strongest!
Both were cultivators at the Sixth Layer Realm of Awakening Vein, with the young woman in a green dress, possessing phoenix-like almond eyes. She had reached the Middle Stage of the Sixth Layer.
Beside her stood a tall, scholarly-looking young man with defined features, whose cultivation had advanced to the Peak of the Sixth Layer Realm!
"Sister Yuan Lin, we’ve already been waiting here for three days! Are you sure that kid will take this route?"
A tall young man in black, seated to the left, muttered discontentedly while staring at the vast wilderness.
The green-dressed woman, addressed as Yuan Lin, shot him a glance and said indifferently:
"Junior Brother Wang, this is a task personally assigned by our master. Are you really this impatient?"
The young man in black quickly shook his head, "Sister, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not dissatisfied; I just want to kill Luo Cheng as soon as possible to avenge Junior Brother Xiao Lie!"
The five were the direct disciples of Gao Jinlie, the Inner Sect Elder of the Fierce Cloud Sect.
They had traveled thousands of miles from their sect on Gao Jinlie’s orders to assassinate Luo Cheng and avenge Xiao Lie!
The scholarly-looking young man in the center was their senior brother, Yang Wencheng.
He sipped his tea and spoke leisurely:
"Stay calm. Luo Cheng was being hunted by the Blood Eagle, and everyone thinks he’s as good as dead. If he’s alive, it’s only natural he’d return to his family. This is the only road connecting Linjiang City to Qishan City—he’ll definitely come through here."
"Hmph! That Luo Cheng dared to kill several of our Fierce Cloud Sect disciples in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition and cost us the championship! He even crippled Junior Brother Xiao Lie—his arrogance is boundless! When he shows up, we must make him pay dearly, with a thousand cuts and ten thousand wounds!"
The young man in black spat angrily.
"Making us wait this long—we can’t let him die too easily."
"Hehehe, that’s easy—however long we’ve waited, we’ll make him suffer for that long!"
The other disciples of the Fierce Cloud Sect all exuded murderous intent, their faces twisted ferociously and terrifyingly.
Luo Cheng had caused the Fierce Cloud Sect to lose the top spot in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition.
Throughout the sect, many viewed him as a thorn that must be removed!
Senior Brother Yang Wencheng turned to the middle-aged man standing nearby:
"Manager Han, any news from Linjiang City?"
Manager Han was a member of the Sun Family, responsible for gathering intelligence, and had been sent by Sun Caining to assist the five disciples.
Additionally, Sun Caining had ordered that Luo Cheng’s head be taken back to the Sun Family to pay tribute to Sun Chuanwu!
Manager Han replied, "No news yet. That kid is probably still within the Xuanyuan Sect."
Yang Wencheng nodded.
The young man in black stood up and said, "Senior Brother, I’ll go to Linjiang City and see if I can find any traces of him. If he doesn’t plan to return to Qishan City, at least we won’t waste our time waiting here for nothing." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Yang Wencheng thought for a moment and said, "Fine. Junior Sister Yuan Lin, you should go with him. If you hear anything, notify me at once. Do not act on your own—it would ruin everything if anything went wrong."
The young man in black seemed surprised and muttered:
"Senior Brother, you’re giving that Luo Cheng too much credit. He’s merely at the Early Stage of the Awakening Vein Realm Second Level. How strong could he possibly be? Any one of us can kill him easily. Why act together?"
At the Late Stage of the Awakening Vein Fourth Layer, he clearly regarded Luo Cheng as no threat.
Yang Wencheng glanced at him, "Don’t underestimate him. Hua Jingyang awakened a Ten-star Spiritual Martial Soul and even gained Martial Soul Divine Power to amplify his battle strength, yet was utterly defeated by Luo Cheng. His peak combat power might not be much weaker than yours."
"Don’t forget what our master said before we left—this mission allows no failure, only success! A lion uses its full strength even to catch a rabbit. If we’re to kill him, then kill him thoroughly! Leave him no chance to escape!"
"Understood!"
The young man in black nodded, though inwardly, he was disdainful.
Just a mere Second Layer cultivator of the Awakening Vein Realm.
He could slap him into oblivion with ease!
"Rest assured, Senior Brother. We’ll be cautious."
Yuan Lin replied, agreeing to the instructions. She and the young man in black then sped off in the direction of Linjiang City.
Nightfall came, and stars lit up the heavens.
In the dead of night.
Hmm!
Luo Cheng suddenly woke with a start.
"The Sword King’s Will truly lives up to its name—it completely immersed me!"
Luo Cheng murmured to himself.
Gripping the Thunder Hidden Sword, his eyes shone brightly.
In just half a day, he could feel his Sword Intent shifting again. A sharp aura lingered in his mind, as though it could cut through everything.
"Could it be!"
Luo Cheng rose to his feet, drew his sword, and unleashed his Martial Soul. He drove his Sword Intent to its utmost extremes.
Buzz!
In an instant, a formidable sharpness erupted into the heavens, enveloping the area. The air vibrated violently, forming a blurry, ethereal sword shadow that stirred the winds and clouds!
"Divine Wind Absolute Kill!"
Focusing on the second Training Post, Luo Cheng swung his sword in a decisive slash!
A fiercely condensed Sword Qi Tornado howled forth, slicing through the air with hissing sounds, as if the very air had submitted!
Then.
Boom!
A deafening explosion shook the entire Practice Field.
The Training Post, representing the pinnacle defense of the Middle Stage of Awakening Vein Realm, was blasted open with a massive hole, nearly severed in half!
"Forty Percent Sword Intent!"
Luo Cheng’s voice was trembling with joy.
This time, he hadn’t even used the Xuanlong Technique, yet the energy unleashed was still a few degrees stronger than his previous full-strength attack.
Such was the amplification brought by Forty Percent Sword Intent!
Luo Cheng had initially believed that breaking through in Sword Intent would take at least another ten days to half a month of accumulation.
Unexpectedly, after merely a few hours of insight and cultivation, his Sword Intent had already broken through!
Feeling the transformation of his Sword Intent, a smile spread across Luo Cheng’s face.
Though the advancement of his Sword Intent was delightful.
The biggest boon for Luo Cheng wasn’t that.
It was discovering a shortcut to cultivating his Sword Intent.
As long as he made good use of the Sword King’s Will within his Sea of Consciousness.
It was equivalent to having a Sword King as his mentor!
Not just Forty Percent Sword Intent, but grasping true Sword Intent was now within reach!
Letting out a deep breath, Luo Cheng gazed at the terrifying sword mark left on the Training Post, his eyes gleaming with resolve:
"I never expected that this trip to the Washing Body Pond would yield such immense gains! With the Sword King’s Will honing my Sword Intent, the speed of my cultivation is unparalleled! Haha, Eighth Prince, I really must thank you for this!"
This opportunity to enter the Washing Body Pond had originally been prepared by the Eighth Prince for Qi Guyun, but it ultimately became Luo Cheng’s fortuitous gift.
If the Eighth Prince Jin Min found out how much Luo Cheng had gained because of him, he’d be fuming with rage.
Clang!
Sheathing his sword, Luo Cheng suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him.
Refining Sword Intent through the clash with the Sword King’s Will was undoubtedly a shortcut, but it also consumed a great deal of mental energy.
Luo Cheng felt as though he had just experienced a life-and-death battle.
"Tonight, I’ll rest well. Tomorrow, I’ll visit the Martial Storage Hall to see if there are any sword techniques suitable for me. After that, I’ll go home!"
The first four moves of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique were too low-grade to keep pace with Luo Cheng’s current strength.
Though Divine Wind Absolute Kill was potent, relying on a single technique made his means of attack too monotonous, a disadvantage when fighting formidable opponents.
Since there had been no news from Luo Yao, Luo Cheng could only settle for second-best and see if other techniques suited him.
