Chapter 18
Gu Shaoyang's sword seemed to be very slow. Everyone could see its trajectory clearly, but it arrived in front of Tang Ming in a flash.
Tang Ming's expression changed slightly. He raised his sword and let out a long roar.
"Ten Miles of Peach Blossom Drunken in the Spring Wind!"
In an instant, Tang Ming released a large sword curtain. Sword light was released, and killing intent surged.
This was the killing move in << Drunken Breeze >>. The Human Tier pinnacle martial skill, combined with Tang Ming's Element Gathering Tier cultivation, had a power infinitely close to the Earth Tier low-grade.
Gu Shaoyang's expression did not change. His long sword followed the predetermined trajectory and was firmly thrust out.
The sword light that pierced into Tang Ming was like boiling water and snow, and the sword curtain quickly dissipated.
" How is this possible?!"
Tang Ming screamed in disbelief.
"Swoosh!"
On the viewing platform, Elder Lin, who had been sitting upright on his chair, suddenly stood up. Ji Feng, who was beside him, also trembled violently.
"This is…"
The two of them looked at each other. Elder Lin's eyes shot out a strange light as he said word by word,"Sword intent! It wasn't an embryonic form, but a sword intent that had already taken shape!”
Gu Shaoyang's sword was like a hot knife through butter, and a powerful aura emerged from his body.
He was clearly just standing on the stage, but people had to look up to him.
Everyone seemed to see layers upon layers of thick clouds. A lone peak suddenly rose up, piercing through the clouds, cold and lofty.
The feeling of being right in front of him but unable to touch him made him feel extremely uncomfortable even if he was not facing Gu Shaoyang's sword.
"Senior Brother Gu's sword is too powerful! Even Tang Ming, who was in Element Gathering Tier, could not stop him!”
"It's the Solitary Killing Sword Technique. I've seen it in the Sutra Depository before.”
"No!"
Someone suddenly spoke up and said in a deep voice,"Although the Solitary Kill Sword Technique is strong, it is still not a match for the Gathering Yuan. This is..." Solitary Killing Sword Intent!"
Everyone turned their heads. The speaker was Wind Void, who was silently watching the battle.
Wind Void's eyes were fixed on the stage, and his face was filled with envy, unwillingness, and respect…
He had comprehended the embryonic form of saber intent, so he had the deepest understanding of Gu Shaoyang's sword move.
It was clearly the martial arts concept that he had always wanted, the complete martial arts concept.
"If…"
Wind Void gripped the hilt of his saber tightly and muttered in his heart," If he was standing on the stage instead of Tang Ming and faced Gu Shaoyang's sword, perhaps he would have been able to completely pierce through the window paper and successfully comprehend the saber intent…
Somewhere far away from the crowd, Xia Qingqiu stood there alone, looking at Gu Shaoyang's proud and aloof figure on the stage, muttering,"I didn't expect him to be so strong. He even comprehended the Solitary Killing Sword Intent…In that case, he must have deliberately played me in the Scripture Depository back then…"
Thinking of this, Xia Qingqiu clenched her fists in embarrassment.
Gu Shaoyang's arrogant and cold aura rose again and again, as if his lone peak was about to pierce through the sky.
Tang Ming suffered a crushing defeat. His Yuan Qi shield, which belonged to the Element Gathering Tier, was completely broken. Gu Shaoyang's sword struck him heavily in the chest, causing him to vomit blood and fall off the stage.
Gu Shaoyang slowly put away his sword and looked down at Tang Ming, who was unwilling to give up. He said lightly,""I've said it before, you can't even take a single strike from me.”
The scene was silent for a few seconds before it completely boiled over.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Shaoyang alone. Excitement, admiration, and awe…
Sword intent!
Even a martial artist in Element Gathering Tier might not be able to comprehend something, but they actually saw it in a disciple in the Mortal Realm.
They had personally witnessed the birth of a monstrous genius.
Gu Shaoyang, the rising star, completely overshadowed the glory of the three great experts of the outer sect. No one could match his brilliance.
The first place in the competition was well-deserved.
..
"Hu…"
Elder Lin let out a long breath and sat back on the chair. He sighed and said,"I still underestimated him. Ji Feng, did you see it clearly?"
Ji Feng nodded silently and said in a low voice,"The sword force has doubled, and there is no doubt that it will be 20% sword intent."”
"That's right…"
Elder Lin said with a complicated tone,"Comprehending 20% of sword intent at the ninth level of Qi Refining. This talent and comprehension even exceeds Wei Zhuang."”
Ji Feng remained silent for a moment before saying,"Elder Lin wants to borrow the sword scar slate. I will get someone to send it over later.”
With that, he left without looking back, as if he had been greatly agitated.
Elder Lin shook his head with a bitter smile.
He had brought Ji Feng along to watch the competition this time. His original intention was to build up Ji Feng's confidence, so that he could have a better chance of winning the battle with the North Snow Martial Academy's Beilinjiang in a month's time.
However, he never thought that a monster like Gu Shaoyang would suddenly appear in the competition.
It backfired.
He really did not know what kind of impact it would have on him.
However, Elder Lin quickly threw these thoughts to the back of his mind. All his attention was now on Gu Shaoyang.
Comprehending sword intent at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, and a super genius with 20% sword intent, could be said to be a blessing for the sect.
With careful nurturing, he might be able to become the second Wei Zhuang in a few years.
He had to rope her in properly.
