The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1244 - 1237: Sword Intent? What a Monster!

Six days later.

Within the Ice Holy Land, snowflakes fluttered haphazardly through the sky.

Ye Chenfeng sat cross-legged amidst the snowy ground, allowing the snowflakes to continuously blanket his body. After mastering the operation of both the Divine Blood Manual and the Demon’s Heaven Manual six days ago, he stepped out of the cave and had been sitting in the snow for as long as six days.

During these six days, Ye Chenfeng’s body didn’t budge even slightly. He was incessantly alternating the practice of the Divine Blood Manual and the Demon’s Heaven Manual; his cultivation was so hectic it seemed life-threatening. Of course, during these six days of cultivation, Ye Chenfeng also reaped tremendous benefits.

Armed with divine-grade, high-grade cultivation techniques such as the Divine Blood Manual and the Demon’s Heaven Manual, combined with the ability to absorb the Ice Attribute spiritual energy from the Ice Holy Land without any hindrance through the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus in his Dantian, these factors together made it no surprise that Ye Chenfeng was fervently making breakthroughs!

Therefore, two days ago, Ye Chenfeng smoothly stepped into the Middle Stage of the Spirit Communication Realm’s Fourth Layer, and just now, Ye Chenfeng directly advanced into the Late Stage of the Fourth Layer. It must be noted that Ye Chenfeng had only been in the Ice Holy Land for six days, and when he entered the Ice Holy Land, his strength was merely at the peak of the Third Layer of the Spirit Communication Realm. In just a short span of six days, he had reached the Late Stage of the Fourth Layer from the peak of the Third Layer.

This extreme method of breakthrough, if seen by other members from different sects, would surely leave them astonishingly agape. It is well known that even the favored prodigies of the top sects in the Earth Profound Realm couldn’t achieve such a maniacal pace of breakthroughs. In other words, those geniuses compared to Ye Chenfeng were like heaven and earth apart. The only advantage those so-called geniuses had was that they started out earlier than Ye Chenfeng, but in the not-so-distant future, Ye Chenfeng would surely catch up to them.

The pocket-sized Nine Nether Ice Lion, Little Bai, sat quietly next to Ye Chenfeng. Ever since the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus was embedded into Little Bai’s forehead, it had been almost inseparable from Ye Chenfeng, developing an inexplicable dependence on him, akin to the dependency of children on their parents.

He Ping, Huang Chongyi, and Xiang Xiaoyi stood not far away from Ye Chenfeng. Their eyes were rimmed with dark circles, for they too hadn’t closed their eyes once in these six days, especially after being immensely stimulated by Ye Chenfeng to the point of nearly having heart attacks.

Over the six days, He Ping and the others had witnessed Ye Chenfeng achieving successive breakthroughs across two minor realms. They were at a loss for words to describe their leader. In their eyes, Ye Chenfeng continuously surpassed their understanding time and time again, leaving their nerves somewhat frayed.

It could be said that He Ping and the others were suffering yet rejoicing. Such scenes were not something one could casually witness, let alone the successive breakthroughs being that of their leader. Thus, despite being extremely tired, they still didn’t want to rest, wanting to see if their leader would perform even more earthshaking acts.

The snow completely enveloped Ye Chenfeng’s body, leaving only his nose and mouth exposed. At the same time, the voice of the White Shadow Person Wu Fengxian echoed in Ye Chenfeng’s mind: "Alright, kiddo, haste makes waste. Including the one you made upon entering the Ice Holy Land, you have broken through three minor layers in these six days. Even in our prime, we didn’t have such a pace of cultivation. You can take a little rest now."

Ye Chenfeng inwardly said, "I am not tired yet; I don’t need to rest. I can continue to cultivate."

"Ah!" Wu Fengxian sighed and said, "I knew you would answer like this, kiddo. Well then! Stop for a moment! We’re going to switch to a different method of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenfeng reluctantly ceased operating the cultivation technique within his body. Currently, there were two Spiritual Qi Rivers within Ye Chenfeng’s meridians, one flowing according to the Divine Blood Manual’s mode of operation, while the other according to the Demon’s Heaven Manual.

Ye Chenfeng slightly increased the circulation speed of the two Spiritual Qi Rivers, instantly triggering a searing heat from within his body, melting away the accumulated snow covering him.

"Another cultivation maniac, even more fanatical than I was in my days," chuckled the shadowy figure Jiang Yuntian, his voice filled with appreciation for Ye Chenfeng.

"Little guy, before the founder of the Hanbing Sect obtained the Ice Holy Land, there were two formidable swordsmen who fought a death battle here in the Ice Holy Land. In the end, both experts perished together right here in the Ice Holy Land, and from that time on, the Sword Intent law came into existence in this place," spoke the White Shadow Person, Wu Fengxian.

"Afterwards, the founder of the Hanbing Sect gained the Ice Holy Land. Here, he comprehended the Frosty Sword Intent and cultivated it to the peak within the Ice Holy Land. Thus, the Ice Holy Land is now filled with the Sword Intent of three swordsmanship experts," he continued.

"This Sword Intent is a very unique existence. Those who can comprehend the Sword Intent are usually individuals with monstrous talent. If you can grasp the Sword Intent, you would be invincible among peers of the same level. Since you wish to continue cultivating, why not keenly sense the Sword Intent within the Ice Holy Land? However, Sword Intent is not so easily comprehended. Even if you’ve been baptized by the Star Sky Stone, it will still be extremely difficult for you," Wu Fengxian explained.

After listening to the White Shadow Person’s words, Ye Chenfeng muttered to himself: "Sword Intent? Invincible at the same level?"

Ye Chenfeng once again cast aside all distractions from his mind, relaxed his spirit, and began to tune into the aura of the Ice Holy Land. At this moment, Ye Chenfeng entered a rather elusive state, as if his soul was roaming in the air of the Ice Holy Land, trying to tap into the remnants of Sword Intent left by the predecessors.

While Ye Chenfeng was tirelessly seeking the residual Sword Intent in the Ice Holy Land, the White Shadow Person and the shadowy figure were chatting in a way inaudible to Ye Chenfeng.

"Do you think this kid can comprehend the Sword Intent? I was only mentioning it offhand. Grasping Sword Intent is not simple at all!" said the White Shadow Person, Wu Fengxian.

The shadowy figure Jiang Yuntian replied, "I think this lad will hardly manage to comprehend the Sword Intent. The baptism of the Star Sky Stone is not omnipotent. Even we didn’t grasp the Sword Intent back in the day. Comprehending Sword Intent not only requires extraordinary talent but also a bit of luck."

But as the White Shadow Person and the shadowy figure casually conversed, Ye Chenfeng, eyes closed, suddenly frowned. He vaguely sensed a razor-sharp and icy cold presence in the air. Following this, as Ye Chenfeng captured this sharp and icy sensation, his demeanor abruptly changed, and a cold Sword Qi faintly emanated from his being.

Of course, the White Shadow Person and the shadowy figure immediately felt the change in Ye Chenfeng, which rendered them completely unsettled. The shadowy figure Jiang Yuntian cursed with a laugh, "Is this kid a monster or what? He’s actually caught a trace of the Frosty Sword Intent so quickly?"

"Indeed, this little fellow can be called a monster. This is genuine Sword Intent! It seems that even without the Star Sky Stone’s baptism, this kid’s talent would still be considered freakishly high. After the Star Sky Stone’s baptism, his talent has truly become monstrous. He might well surpass us from back in the day by leaps and bounds," the White Shadow Person exclaimed in utmost admiration.

...

Just as Ye Chenfeng vaguely captured a remnant of the Frosty Sword Intent, eight figures loomed in the distance. Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng and the others, they immediately quickened their pace. These were Wang Dali and Xiao Yuan, who had been previously frightened away by Ye Chenfeng, along with their reinforcements led by Zhang Nanhua.

Wang Dali, Xiao Yuan, Zhang Nanhua, and their group had waited a full five days. Assuring themselves that the Nine Nether Ice Lion’s roars had ceased, they finally decided to set out. After searching for a whole day and night, they finally tracked down the whereabouts of Ye Chenfeng and the others. They all lusted for the secrets that Ye Chenfeng possessed, but if they knew that Ye Chenfeng had subdued the Nine Nether Ice Lion, they wouldn’t dare to seek out Ye Chenfeng even with a hundred or a thousand times the courage, as their actions would be akin to seeking death itself.
