Chapter 198: The Aura of a Sword King? Could He Be the Legendary Martial Crown King?
“Your eyesight is sharp. Indeed, I am more proficient in the way of the sword. However, not everyone is qualified to see my sword.” Meng Changqing smiled softly, “Are you sure you really want to witness it?”
“Ridiculous.” Upon hearing this, Yu Hongxue responded coldly.
She didn’t believe that Meng Changqing’s sword intent could be that high.
After all, humans have their limits. One must train, comprehend true intent, and even master dual intents.
How could there be enough time and energy for all that?
In her view, the level of his sword intent could at most be three or three and a halffold. It couldn’t be any higher than that!
This was where her confidence came from. Dual true intents only undergo a qualitative change when fully mastered at tenfold. Before that, they don’t add much.
“Draw your sword!” Yu Hongxue took a step forward, fully entering battle mode.
She wanted to defeat Meng Changqing in front of everyone, proving to all that she was the number one among the younger generation in the Southern Region!
She also wanted to end the invincible path of this generation’s Tai Xuan Sect, wiping away the shame of being humiliated years ago!
Threefolds of palm intent surged forth, a massive crystal-like palm appeared in the sky, exuding a powerful aura!
“If that’s the case, then as you wish.” Meng Changqing slowly placed his right hand on the sword’s hilt.
Initially, he planned to use his fist techniques to experience the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion’s martial arts. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel{f}ire.net
But now, it seemed unnecessary.
He might as well resolve this quickly.
After all, before coming down, he had told his senior brothers that he would “be back soon.”
Crimson Sky let out an excited hum, as if it too was eagerly anticipating the battle!
“This sword strike will be my limit, but do you have the courage to face it?”
Meng Changqing closed his eyes.
When he reopened them, his entire demeanor changed dramatically!
An endless sharpness erupted, sweeping through the sky!
The void trembled violently, as if something unimaginable was about to descend!
All the surrounding swords began to tremble uncontrollably, including those of the Proud Sword Sect — from the sect master to the disciples!
Li Jin, who had just recovered, pressed down on his sword box, his eyes filled with shock. This was his life-bound sword!
Why was it suddenly so restless, as if it had sensed something?
Suddenly, the leaders of all the major forces stood up simultaneously, their gazes locked on the scene below, their eyes filled with an unprecedented shock and disbelief.
Yu Hongxue’s expression changed instantly. She felt an uncontrollable surge of dread welling up inside her — a fear that came from her very instincts!
The strange scene above made her snap back to reality.
She quickly looked up, only to see her threefolds of palm intent trembling wildly, with cracks starting to appear on its surface, as if it had encountered something utterly terrifying and could no longer maintain its form!
“What’s going on?” Yu Hongxue couldn’t comprehend what was happening.
But the next second, what she saw would be forever etched in her memory, an eternal nightmare!
The ground trembled, and the battlefield shook as a massive sword burst forth from behind Meng Changqing, piercing the sky!
It was immense, grand, and majestic, standing between heaven and earth like a pillar!
It was impossible to imagine the kind of sword intent that had taken form — completely solidified, like a true divine sword, eternally standing there, never to be forgotten!
The sharp aura that emanated from it even tore through the void! It should be noted that only Marquis-level powerhouses could shatter the void!
Beneath the towering sword, Meng Changqing’s black hair danced wildly, his entire being radiating an aura so sharp it was terrifying, as if a single strand of hair or a glance from him could slice through anything!
“This is my swordsmanship.” Meng Changqing looked at Yu Hongxue.
In an instant, her threefolds of palm intent shattered, dissolving into specks of light. Yu Hongxue herself seemed to have taken a heavy blow, her face turning pale as countless cracks appeared on her body, blood flowing endlessly!
Just a glance carried such terrifying power!
“This is… tenfolds of sword intent!!!” the sect master of Proud Sword Sect exclaimed in disbelief, his voice echoing throughout the void battlefield!
In the next second, all the swords could no longer be suppressed and flew out of their sheaths!
It was an astonishing sight. Countless swords swarmed towards the battlefield, forming a dense sea of swords, gathering around Meng Changqing, bowing their hilts as if worshiping the legendary ruler of the sword!
“Tenfolds of sword intent!”
Everyone finally snapped out of their shock, their faces filled with disbelief and fear.
How was this possible? This was the peak of legendary true intent, a level even Marquis-level powerhouses might not reach!
Even peerless geniuses like Xi Yingqing in the past or Yu Hongxue now had only reached two or threefolds at most!
What an absurd level! Could a human truly achieve this?
But the scene before them left no room for doubt. sSord intent solidified, and all swords bowed in worship. This was undoubtedly tenfolds of sword intent!
“My heavens, after cultivating for half my life, am I witnessing the reincarnation of the Sword God?”
Many people muttered, still in a daze.
On the Reverse Ancient Mountain, the elders were just as stunned, their mouths agape. They knew Meng Changqing had a trump card, or he wouldn’t be so confident.
But who could have expected that the trump card would be this shocking!
“Tenfolds of sword intent…” Hua Ciyan finally regained her composure, swallowing hard. “I think I understand now why Junior Brother started practicing fist techniques.”
Ku Fengchun, struggling to speak, said, “He wasn’t advancing both true intents at the same time! Instead, his sword intent reached tenfolds, leaving nothing more to refine!
“So he casually started practicing fist techniques.”
Hearing this, everyone was even more shocked. Others devote everything to pursuing true intent, often in vain.
But their young sect leader easily reached the peak of true intent and still had the energy to dabble in other pursuits!
What an unimaginable level of comprehension!
This was truly unprecedented!
“He’s just in his early twenties, and he has already mastered dual true intents, with one of them reaching tenfolds.” Hua Ciyan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but she couldn’t.
“The aura of a Sword King? That underestimates Junior Brother.”
“He will ultimately become…
“The legendary Martial Crown King!”
Hua Ciyan’s eyes shone brightly, filled with admiration and determination.
