Chapter 688: Chapter 364: Luo Cheng and the Holy Artifact! Sword Intent vs. Sword Intent!
“Who is this person? Just at the Late Ninth Layer Realm of Awakening Vein, and he dares to speak to Li Shaofeng like this, quite bold!”
“Luo Cheng, a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect… Oh, I’ve heard of him. This person awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, yet in two years, he rose rapidly, becoming one of the top ten disciples of Xuanyuan Sect’s Inner Sect. It’s said that in a few days, he will have a life-and-death duel with Yun Tianyan, the leading Inner Sect disciple of Fierce Cloud Sect, right here in Yunquan City!”
“Oh? I’ve heard of Yun Tianyan from Fierce Cloud Sect, who awakened a Ten-star Spiritual Martial Soul and almost made it onto the Domain List. His combat prowess is strong. Luo Cheng daring to have a life-and-death duel with him is too arrogant, isn’t it?”
“More than that! Look at his posture, he doesn’t even seem to regard Li Shaofeng!”
“Hehe, truly a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. Li Shaofeng is a genius from the Domain List, a Sword Intent Level Swordsman! Even a glance from him is hard for an ordinary strong Awakening Vein Realm person to withstand. Luo Cheng is courting death!”
Upon learning of Luo Cheng’s identity, the crowd immediately began to gossip.
However, most of the voices were mocking.
After all, Li Shaofeng’s fame and strength were clearly established, ranking 41st on the Domain List, a feat heavy enough to overshadow all Awakening Vein Realm warriors in the Great Yue Dynasty!
“Oh! Luo Cheng of Xuanyuan Sect, he’s the one who achieved the Golden Body Realm in the Great Yue Dynasty! So young!”
In the second pavilion on the left, two disciples of the Jile Sect from the Great Qi Dynasty, upon learning of Luo Cheng’s identity, their eyes brightened immediately, carefully studying Luo Cheng.
“Blood like mercury, essence qi like a dragon, what robust blood and energy, even an Earth Level Great Power is nothing more than this, truly amazing! It seems the secret report about him reaching the Golden Body Realm is not false.”
Sitting on the right, clad in white, as handsome as a jade tree, Chi Mengyun gazed at Luo Cheng, eyes deep as a mysterious pool with a hidden spiritual luster. She was slightly surprised at first, then softly said:
“Previously, due to his awakening of a Wasted Martial Soul, worrying about his aptitude, he wasn’t chosen by the Elders… It seems now, despite his awakening of a Wasted Martial Soul, he has an extraordinary talent for body refinement. At such a young age, his physique and blood energy have already reached an unbelievable level! Within the Awakening Vein Realm, stronger than any body refining genius I’ve seen before…”
Beside her, Yu Qingyoulu, knowing the other’s capability, immediately showed a look of delight and said:
“So powerful? Then wouldn’t he meet her need? This physical shell is sufficient to bear the Holy Artifact?”
Chi Mengyun gently shook her head, “Wanting to bear the Holy Artifact is not so easy, she herself probably doesn’t know if this plan is feasible, otherwise she wouldn’t be searching everywhere for body refining geniuses who reached the Golden Body Realm. Luo Cheng’s physique and blood energy are indeed very robust, but after all, with a Wasted Martial Soul, there’s a huge flaw. Whether he can bear the Holy Artifact still needs the Elders’ assessment. Let’s see…”
Haha!
A burst of laughter interrupted the crowd’s discussion.
Li Shaofeng, furious to the point of laughing, looked at Luo Cheng with his hands behind his back, an intense gaze carrying a powerful sense of oppression, mockingly said:
“Who do you think you are, daring to compare with me! Not even you, even Xuanyuan Sect’s First Disciple, Pang Yueyang, and the number one in Awakening Vein Realm from Great Yue Dynasty, Yun Tianyan, these so-called geniuses are nothing more than ants to me! You challenging me is simply a joke, only proving you are an ignorant frog in a well!”
Hearing this, Jin Tiandu and the Ninth Princess, among others from the Great Yue Dynasty, wore somewhat grim expressions.
The remark seemed to mock Luo Cheng but actually belittled the entire Great Yue Dynasty, leaving them disgraced as well.
Li Shaofeng paid no mind, scolding Luo Cheng: “I’ll say it again, you have no qualification to attend this meeting! Leave immediately if you know what’s good for you, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“Is that so?”
Luo Cheng’s eyes flashed with cold light, directly stepping out of the pavilion, looking towards Li Shaofeng: “I want to see how you’ll be impolite!”
“Luo Cheng, don’t be impulsive!”
Ninth Princess Jin Yuxi exclaimed. Thıs content belongs to novelꜰire.net
Jin Tiandu was about to intervene.
“No need to worry.”
Yin Li suddenly spoke, his icy tone lowering the temperature of the entire pavilion by a few degrees.
Jin Tiandu and Jin Yuxi both felt a chilling cold.
Jin Tiandu glanced at Yin Li with surprise. He also wished to teach Li Shaofeng a lesson, but from any perspective, this seemed nearly impossible.
Other young talents all shook their heads, believing Luo Cheng was seeking face at the expense of suffering.
Leaving now, though humiliating, wouldn’t have any real loss.
Provoking Li Shaofeng like this is undoubtedly asking for trouble!
Princess Yaoguang did not intervene, merely sipping tea quietly. The matter with Liu Yifeng was insignificant to her, hardly noteworthy for an Awakening Vein Realm warrior.
However, using this to establish her authority might smooth her path in retrieving the Blood Evil Essence Crystal later.
Seeing Luo Cheng still dare to challenge him publicly, Li Shaofeng sneered disdainfully: “Not seen for a year, still so arrogant! Don’t think you’ll get lucky like last time, with someone to back you up!”
Luo Cheng glared, “Too much nonsense! You didn’t get to Domain List 41st with just your mouth, did you!”
Upon hearing this, all the strong ones present were shocked, knowing the other is 41st on the Domain List, yet daring to be so brazen; how foolishly arrogant!
“Hmph! Just for those words, don’t think you’ll leave standing today! Kneel for me!!”
Li Shaofeng truly got angry, shouted, his Essence Energy surged, pupils constricted.
The light in his eyes seemed almost tangible, transforming into a phantom Sword Qi bursting forth, locking firmly onto Luo Cheng.
Sizzle!
The void tore open, a seemingly real and illusory Sword Qi emerged across the sky, ripping apart the stagnant air, carving a pitch-black vacuum pathway!
Crack!
The phantom Sword Qi swelled, unstoppable sharpness split a straight crack in the courtyard, sharp Qi Force radiated rapidly in all directions, everything in its path instantly pierced, the momentum was shocking.
“Such strong Sword Momentum, worthy of a Sword Intent Level Swordsman!”
The people present all acted, setting up Essence Energy walls in the pavilions where they stood, blocking the spread and destruction of the Qi Force.
“Luo Cheng!”
The Ninth Princess couldn’t help but stand up, clenching her fists, breaking out in cold sweat, half terrified by the powerful Sword Momentum, half worried for Luo Cheng.
Jin Tiandu was also looking serious, noticing Yin Li’s calm face, he barely suppressed his impulse to act.
Facing the raging phantom Sword Qi, Luo Cheng’s face was expressionless, eyes resolute, like a hawk, coldly said:
“You struck me once with your sword before, today I’ll return you a sword!”
As the words sounded, Luo Cheng’s Sword Intent fully exploded, like an unparalleled Treasure Sword unsheathed, pure terrifying Sword Intent pervaded the void, piercing the air, wildly rampaging like a storm, a sword shadow emerged from the body, piercing through the clouds in the sky, the extreme sharpness stinging everyone’s eyes!
“Sword Intent materialization! He’s also a Sword Intent Level Swordsman!”
“A Sword Intent Level Swordsman at the Awakening Vein Realm! And so young! Since when did the Great Yue Dynasty rise such a genius swordsman!”
A young swordsman frowned.
“Wait! It doesn’t seem like a true Sword Intent transformation! How strange…”
This wasn’t over yet.
A resonant roar of energy spread as Luo Cheng’s body shook, a ferocious aura of blood and slaughter enveloped everything, the phantom sword shadow solidified again, glowing with rings of scarlet light, which flooded the entire courtyard.
“This! That is…”
Jin Tiandu was dumbfounded, incredulous.
Yin Li’s lips curled into a faint smile.
With Sword Intent pushed to the limit, Luo Cheng formed his fingers into a sword, pointed them out.
Swoosh!
Glowing with a scarlet sheen, the sword shadow swiftly pierced through the air, hitting the Sword Qi formed by Li Shaofeng’s Sword Intent!
