Double Cultivation
sword intent
"… Her beauty was said to be devastating enough to destroy the continent and her talent with an unparalleled sword. Many generals, kings, even emperors tried to prosecute him, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded, because he was only looking for someone stronger than himself, he said, which was almost impossible during that era. "
Su Yang's quiet voice and fast-paced storytelling quickly made the place quiet.
"Then there was this young mischievous cultivator who fell in love with him. However, this young man came from the same background and could be considered an ant in the eyes of these kings and emperors; he was someone who was not meant for him, even in ten lives. "
"However, despite knowing that he would never be able to stand beside her, the young man never gave up and earnestly cultivated his body and sword techniques, instead, hoping it could help him close their never-ending distance …"
Su Yang stopped the story at this point and glanced at Dai Zheng with a calm, yet arrogant look. "What do you think happened to that young man?" she asked.
"A fool pursues an impossible dream .. What else but the obvious will happen?" Dai Zheng sneered.
Su Yang smiled at his reply, and he casually raised the sword in his hand.
"!!!"
Suddenly, Elder Zhou's eyes snapped open, his gaze filled with shock and disbelief.
"What light surrounds his sword?"
"I've never seen anything like it before …"
The disciples were confused by the visible aura that suddenly appeared around the steel sword in Su Yang's grasp, giving him an overbearing pressure and seemingly twisting the space surrounding him.
"Impossible! It looks like Sword Intent!" Elder Zhou recognized the aura surrounding the sword. However, his knowledge further confused him, even surprising him to the core.
Sword Intent was the core of the sword; it was something that only appeared when the user had full control and understanding of the sword, in other words, full mastery. These users were widely known as Swordmasters, and they were highly respected figures around the world.
"How could Sword Intent?! He's only 16! Even experts in the Earth Spirit Realm would not be able to emit Sword Intent so powerful!" Elder Zhou did not dare to believe that a 16-year-old idiot like Su Yang could become a Swordmaster regardless of the obvious Sword Intent, so he forced himself to believe that Su Yang had prepared some cheap tricks to make it look like Sword Intent .
Su Yang casually swung his sword, and a tyrannical pressure swept over the place, sending goosebumps to everyone there – including Elder Zhou.
"Sword Intent relies on one's experience and mastery with the sword. No matter if I am a human or a saint, as long as I understand his sword, I will be able to use Sword Intent," Su Yang reminisced for hours he had spent trying to master the sword in his previous life.
"Cheng Yu .." Dai Zheng replied involuntarily.
Su Yang nodded and said in an indifferent tone, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of your girl after your death so that she won't be lonely without your presence, we can start."
Dai Zheng instantly coughed out a mouthful of blood after hearing Su Yang's evil words.
To hear Su Yang say such words after all that had happened, Dai Zheng was already on the verge of death from sheer anger even before the fight started!
"I'll kill you, Su Yang!" Dai Zheng threw away his fighting attitude and charged at Su Yang like a madman with red eyes. He was so angry that he left him blind and could not see the knife slashing towards him.
Su Yang sighed inwardly. "I hope this will be the first and last time I take life in this place …"
While Su Yang was not the type to kill people because of small things, he needed to set an example for others so that it would not happen again. In his previous life, he had faced many situations where he showed compassion only to make them bite back twice as hard later on.
"Wait!" Elder Zhou hurriedly called, but unfortunately, it was too late.
The tip of the sword within Su Yang's grasp touched the ground gently, and a beautiful arch of light appeared, cutting Dai Zheng in half from top to bottom.
Gasps of surprise echoed as the organs fell down. Blood splattered all over the arena and covered Su Yang, and everyone stared at the terrifying scene with wide eyes and jaw-dropping, looking as if they were watching the scene from hell.
No one there, including Elder Zhou, had seen such merciless attacks happen at this stage before, even in the most ruthless deathmatches.
Su Yang turned to face the shocked audience with a calm expression, and he said coldly, "Tap my door if you want, I will play with you, but be prepared to face the consequences."
The overbearing and domineering pressure that Su Yang emitted caused many people there to fall behind them. He looked like a general who had fought many wars before, someone with an unexpected presence.
"Regarding the story .. that the young man not only conquered the general's heart with his sword techniques, he also continued to achieve many impossible things that these kings and emperors could not imagine for themselves, he said, especially from someone they consider to be a mere ant… "
Su Yang approached Elder Zhou, who was standing there with a dazed face, and returned the bloody steel sword to him. "A decent sword" he told her before calmly walking off the stage.
