Chapter 695: Chapter 371: You Only Have One Chance to Strike!

“Hurry and follow them!”

As Luo Cheng and Yun Tianyan left, everyone immediately followed behind.

Awakening Vein Realm strong individuals employed their techniques to travel through the air. Those who hadn’t reached the Awakening Vein Realm, some took out flying treasures, while many others just sprinted madly, hoping to occupy a good vantage point.

For a moment, shadows filled both the sky and the ground!

Watching Luo Cheng and Yun Tianyan’s figures, Pang Yueyang said solemnly, “It’s only been a dozen days since we last saw, and Yun Tianyan’s strength has improved yet again. His Sword Intent seems to have advanced, perhaps already reaching the Half-step Sword Intent Realm!”

“Half-step Sword Intent!”

Zhu Lingmei was startled, then gratefully said, “Luckily, Luo Cheng has also made significant progress, his cultivation increased by two small realms!”

Pang Yueyang lightly shook his head, “Breaking through two small realms in such a short time is indeed commendable, but his cultivation is still far inferior to Yun Tianyan. Both are swordsmen, if Yun Tianyan’s Sword Intent has truly reached the Half-step Sword Intent level, Luo Cheng’s Sword Intent will definitely be suppressed, and it’ll be hard for him to exert his power. The situation is not optimistic!”

Pang Yueyang wasn’t underestimating Luo Cheng, but rather that the Sword Momentum Yun Tianyan just demonstrated was too strong, even making him feel an overwhelming sense of inferiority!

“Let’s see how it unfolds! Luo Cheng isn’t a reckless person. Since he dares to accept the challenge, he must have some confidence.” Zhu Lingmei was much more optimistic, knowing Luo Cheng didn’t reach this point by chance.

“Let’s hope so!”

Pang Yueyang nodded.

The two led a group of Xuanyuan Sect disciples, heading toward the battleground.

Yu Lanxin, Yan Qingshuang, and other Luoxia Sect disciples joined up with Yin Li and others.

“Senior Sister, do you think Luo Cheng has a chance to win this battle?” Yan Qingshuang asked Yu Lanxin with a worried expression, as the latter was also a Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman and should discern the situation.

“It’s difficult… Yun Tianyan’s Sword Momentum is much stronger than before. If I’m not mistaken, his Sword Intent Realm has already reached the Half-step Sword Intent level…”

Yu Lanxin lightly shook her head, about to continue speaking when a voice interrupted them.

“You two Senior Sisters don’t need to worry about Luo Cheng.”

The speaker was the Ninth Princess, Jin Yuxi. She playfully smiled, whispered into their ears, relaying the events at Yunlan Restaurant.

“What!”

“The Sword Intent Prototype defeated Li Shaofeng’s True Sword Intent, even knocking him back and injuring him! This… How is this possible!”

The two were shocked by the news, especially Yu Lanxin, whose little rosy mouth slightly parted in disbelief.

Being a Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman herself, she clearly understood the difference between a Sword Intent Prototype and Sword Intent.

If the Sword Intent Prototype was a well-tempered iron embryo, then Sword Intent was the divine weapon forged from it!

Their power levels were not at all comparable, fundamentally different.

Breaking Sword Intent with a Sword Intent Prototype was unheard of for her.

“He truly is, as the Master said, a once-in-a-century Sword Dao genius!”

Yan Qingshuang was also moved, struggling to remain calm, her stunning face full of shock, fixated on Luo Cheng.

“Yin Li, you’re here too.”

At this moment, a voice resonated from afar.

Swoosh!

Just as the voice sounded, a flame light appeared in front of the Luoxia Sect disciples.

Within the flame light was a young man dressed in a flame-patterned cloud robe, with long, narrow eyes.

He was tall, with eyes sharp as knives, standing with hands behind his back in midair, emanating an aura of a strong figure, fiery and domineering, all could feel an intense energy, as if his eruption could incinerate the heavens and earth into nothing.

“Xu Daoyan!”

“The Chief True Disciple of Fierce Cloud Sect is here!!”

“Could he be here for Senior Sister Yin Li?”

Yu Lanxin and the others, pressured by his aura, stopped in their tracks.

Many among them knew that Xu Daoyan favored Yin Li, having expressed his feelings several times, but Yin Li remained unmoved.

Yin Li looked at him, her expression indifferent, “Xu Daoyan, you’ve come. Such an Awakening Vein Realm showdown shouldn’t concern the Chief True Disciple like you. Did your Fierce Cloud Sect fear Yun Tianyan’s defeat, sending you to hold the fort?”

“Hehe, Yin Li, you’re still the same as ever. I’m searching for the whereabouts of that Blood Demon, and I brought Junior Brother Yun along to settle this matter.”

Xu Daoyan looked at Yin Li, his gaze warm, his tone gentle, not even slightly upset by Yin Li’s indifference, he continued:

“As for this duel, the outcome is already decided. Junior Brother Yun killing Luo Cheng is a matter that can be done in no time at all, there’s no need for me to intervene.”

Yin Li said calmly, “The duel hasn’t started yet, it seems a bit premature to draw a conclusion now. However, remember your words.”

Xu Daoyan shook his head, “There’s no need for us to argue over such a trivial, predetermined matter. You’ve come here, so I suppose you’re also after the Blood Evil Essence Crystal. I noticed quite a few unfamiliar Great Power Level strong people earlier, they’re likely all here for the Blood Evil Essence Crystal.”

“I’ve been investigating for some time and have pinpointed the area where the Blood Demon is hiding. You and I can work together to search for the Blood Demon. Once we obtain the Blood Evil Essence Crystal, we can comprehend the True Man Path together.”

“I prefer to go my own way, I don’t have the habit of working with others.”

Yin Li directly refused, then quickly changed the subject, “You say that Yun Tianyan’s victory in this duel is a foregone conclusion? I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.”

“Whether it’s a foregone conclusion, the answer will come soon enough.”

Xu Daoyan appeared very patient, shaking his head, “Our cooperation would be mutually beneficial, you can think it over carefully. After the battle, I’ll come to find you again…”

As he spoke, Xu Daoyan transformed into a blaze of Flame Light, soared skyward, and dashed towards the direction of Luo Cheng and the others.

“That person’s tone is really annoying! As if everything must be according to his will, and cannot contradict him.”

The Ninth Princess, Jin Yuxi, fumed, “Let’s see what face he has left to brag in front of Senior Sister when Yun Tianyan is defeated by Luo Cheng!”

Yu Lanxin frowned, saying, “Xu Daoyan and Yun Tianyan are from the same sect, and they have a grudge with Luo Cheng’s sect. If Luo Cheng wins, I wonder if he can tolerate it. Among the people in Xuanyuan Sect, there’s hardly anyone who can stop him.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Yuxi was also startled, hesitating she said, “As the chief true disciple of the Fierce Cloud Sect, he shouldn’t interfere in the duel of Awakening Vein Realm disciples, right! He just told Senior Sister before, wouldn’t it be going back on his word?”

Yu Lanxin could only helplessly agree, as Jin Yuxi comes from the Imperial Family, her personality is inevitably somewhat naive and cheerful. If they win, he naturally won’t interfere, but if they lose, it’s hard to say…

“Let’s go.”

Yin Li said no more, and took the lead in dashing forward.

Several miles southwest of Yunquan City lies a stretch of continuous mountains.

Above the mountains, Luo Cheng and Yun Tianyan stood facing each other a hundred meters apart, watched by countless eyes.

“Luo Cheng, I must say, you do have some courage. Not only do you not run, but you dare to engage in a life-and-death duel with me! To have cultivated to your current realm with a Wasted Martial Soul is indeed no easy feat, but unfortunately, you are doomed to end up buried here because of your foolishness and arrogance.”

Yun Tianyan looked at Luo Cheng and lightly shook his head, as if everything was under his control, his powerful aura spreading out like storms and waves.

Under the impact of the opponent’s momentum, Luo Cheng’s clothes and hair fluttered wildly. He said calmly, “Actually, the one who should run is you. That way you might still have a sliver of hope.”

“Is that so?”

Yun Tianyan let out a cold laugh, not bothering to argue, he drew his long sword and gave it a slight shake.

Chime!

A clear and melodious sword hum echoed. At the same time, an incredibly terrifying Sword Momentum surged from Yun Tianyan, transforming into a visible sword shadow, the pure and dreadful Sword Intent pierced through the air, shredding clouds, encompassing all directions!

The entire sky surged with wind and clouds!

Everyone present felt a sharp edge in their hearts, as if a sword was hanging over their heads!

“Such strong Sword Intent! Such terrifying Sword Momentum! This is the Nine Percent Sword Intent Perfection!”

“No! It’s not just as simple as Nine Percent Sword Intent Perfection, Yun Tianyan’s Sword Intent is starting to transform illusion into reality, it’s already touched upon True Sword Intent, you could say it’s Half-step Sword Intent!”

“Half-step Sword Intent! No wonder it’s so powerful! With Half-step Sword Intent, who in the Great Yue Dynasty’s Awakening Vein Realm could stand against it!”

“His cultivation isn’t on par, and now the Sword Intent is far beyond, how can one fight? Even ten Luo Cheng’s wouldn’t be a match for Yun Tianyan, they’d only be slaughtered!”

With Yun Tianyan’s Half-step Sword Intent revealed, except for a few like Yin Li, everyone believed that this battle would be the end of Luo Cheng.

Li Shaofeng even displayed a schadenfreude expression, as he was worried whether Yun Tianyan could kill Luo Cheng, but now it seemed, the odds of winning were at least over eighty percent!

“Now do you still think the one who should run is me?”

Yun Tianyan’s Sword Momentum rose steadily, fiercely assaulting Luo Cheng. He wasn’t in a hurry to strike, intending to dismantle Luo Cheng’s will little by little, to toy with him in the palm of his hand, completely crushing him from body to soul before killing him!

Clang!

The Five-star top-grade treasure sword Yan Jue Sword unsheathed, Luo Cheng’s eyes dark like stars, calmly gazed at Yun Tianyan:

“Make your move. Give it your all, you only have one chance to strike!”
