Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 385: Chapter 381: Pinnacle Showdown, the Might of Sword Intent

"Sword Intent! This is actually Sword Intent!"

Everyone felt a sharp Qi Force permeate the air, making their skin tingle painfully.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Moreover, the Treasure Swords of some Sword Cultivators present began to vibrate uncontrollably, as if wanting to merge with this Sword Intent and be wielded by it.

"I have studied the sword for a hundred years, yet I have always been stuck at Half-Step Sword Intent, unable to advance. To think a young man would comprehend Sword Intent so early."

A Sword Cultivator shook his head and sighed.

The people around him looked shocked, having recognized his identity.

This was a famous Earth Martial Realm expert from Liang Province. His Swordsmanship was sublime, and his Cultivation ranked among the top three of all Earth Martial Realm cultivators in Liang Province.

But at this moment, he felt utterly humbled.

"Yes, Sword Intent is too difficult to grasp. I thought that in the Six Eastern Provinces, only the Celestial Sword Sect could produce a young genius who possessed Sword Intent. I never expected him to comprehend it as well."

"The Myriad Swords Sect... no wonder they dare to have ’Swords’ in their name."

Many Sword Cultivators exclaimed in amazement.

Those who could comprehend Sword Intent were one in ten thousand. To grasp such a thing, one needed great wisdom, great perseverance, great determination, and great fearlessness—not a single one could be lacking.

The fact that Ning Jiang had comprehended Sword Intent before them meant that his Sword Technique had far surpassed that of his seniors.

"Sword Intent..."

In the crowd, Lü Qinghe murmured to herself. She, too, practiced a Sword Technique, but forget Sword Intent—even Half-Step Sword Intent felt impossibly out of reach for her.

And Ning Jiang was so young.

The regret in her heart grew deeper and deeper.

As for Fang Heng, his face was already as pale as paper, and he was rendered speechless.

"So what if he has Sword Intent? He’s still going to lose!" Feng Sisi said, grinding her teeth.

Her only hope was Yun Dingtian; she prayed he could defeat Ning Jiang.

"I don’t know if he’ll lose or not, but Ye Ying was nothing more than an ant before him. What right do you have to criticize him?"

Beside her, Lan Nongyu shot her a cold glare.

Feng Sisi’s face turned white. She then snorted coldly, "Don’t get cocky. We’ll see what you have to say after he loses."

"Sword Intent? Good. Very good. I’ve long heard that those who can comprehend Sword Intent are one in ten thousand. I’d like to see for myself just what’s so special about this so-called Sword Intent."

The fighting spirit in Yun Dingtian’s eyes burned even brighter.

Of course, he did not underestimate Ning Jiang in the slightest.

Why was the Super Sect, the Celestial Sword Sect, so powerful? A large part of the reason was that it had members who had comprehended Sword Intent.

"Take this hammer!"

Yun Dingtian stomped his foot violently, and a thunderous sound echoed out. Then, his body trembled slightly.

In an instant, his body vanished from where he stood.

The next moment he appeared, he was already right behind Ning Jiang, his massive Celestial Thunder Hammer crashing down.

Without even turning his head, Ning Jiang swept the Thunder Punishment Sword directly behind him, as if he had known Yun Dingtian’s line of attack all along.

CLANG!

The Thunder Punishment Sword and the Celestial Thunder Hammer collided. The clang of metal on metal resounded throughout the entire arena as both fighters swiftly retreated, creating a safe distance between them in a flash.

’Such keen Eye Power.’

Yun Dingtian was slightly startled. This was a Body Technique called "Wind and Thunder Step." He hadn’t used it in his previous battles, yet Ning Jiang had seen through it in an instant.

"Again."

His figure flickered and began to move rapidly.

Countless afterimages made of thunderbolts suddenly appeared in the empty air.

These thunderous afterimages were a mix of real and fake, illusion and substance. They hurtled toward Ning Jiang from all directions. A single misjudgment would surely result in injury.

SCHRING!

Ning Jiang struck out with his sword without hesitation.

A massive Thunder Sword Aura slashed forth.

BANG.

With a loud crash, Yun Dingtian’s figure was forced back.

Amidst the dozens of figures, he had instantly found Yun Dingtian’s true body.

"Hmph. Hundredfold Celestial Thunder Hammer!"

Seeing that his Body Technique was useless against Ning Jiang, Yun Dingtian stopped wasting his efforts.

He raised the Celestial Thunder Hammer high with both hands. A blinding light erupted from it as if it had gone mad, with a full hundred bolts of thunder condensing and fusing together.

From a distance, he looked as if he were holding aloft a colossal bolt of lightning, an absolutely terrifying sight.

The colossal bolt of lightning paused for a moment before descending like Celestial Thunder from the clouds, smashing down viciously toward Ning Jiang’s head. The intense light of that instant nearly outshone the sun in the sky.

"Long River Sunset."

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Ning Jiang no longer held back.

The first form of the Myriad Swords Technique, Long River Sunset, manifested.

The Sword Aura transformed into a great river, surging and churning as it rushed forward. A setting sun slowly descended, seeming to portend the end of all things.

BOOM!

This was another earth-shattering confrontation.

Sword Qi and thunderbolts collided, shattering against each other.

"Thousandweight Celestial Thunder Hammer!"

The thunderous light around Yun Dingtian grew even more incandescent. This time, a full thousand bolts of thunder condensed on the Celestial Thunder Hammer and erupted violently.

"One Sword Soars Immortal."

The second form of the Myriad Swords Technique was unleashed.

The sword was like an immortal light, seemingly capable of guiding one to immortality. In the eyes of the onlookers, there was only a flash of white light and nothing else.

’To witness such a sword strike, I can die without regrets!’

Many Sword Cultivators were thrilled, their minds completely captivated by the splendor of this strike.

And when this strike collided, the resulting explosion was far more powerful than the earlier detonation of the Thunder Qilin.

As the aftershocks spread, the weaker Martial Artists spat up blood, unable to withstand such fluctuations of power.

Even the Immortal Realm experts turned pale, terrified by the pair’s attacks.

Faced with such an attack, even an Immortal Realm expert would face certain death.

Under the force of this confrontation, Ning Jiang and Yun Dingtian were both pushed back a hundred zhang.

But the next moment, they both charged forward again, clashing in fierce combat.

Every strike from Yun Dingtian was heavy and powerful, accompanied by surging waves of thunderous light that threatened to engulf everything.

Every one of Ning Jiang’s sword strikes, in contrast, was incomparably sharp, as if it could slice through anything.

This was the effect of Sword Intent.

After comprehending Sword Intent, a Sword Cultivator’s attack power would increase severalfold. A casual strike could injure a Martial Artist of the same level.

CLANG!

A loud bang erupted, and Yun Dingtian’s figure was sent flying back over a hundred zhang.

He looked down at his chest, and his expression darkened.

Just now, his chest had been struck by one of Ning Jiang’s sword attacks. However, since he was wearing the Thunder Battle Armor, he hadn’t sustained any serious injuries.

"Yun Dingtian is actually at a disadvantage?"

To the onlookers, this scene was unbelievable.

This was especially true for the people of Liang Province. Yun Dingtian had always overshadowed all the other members of the younger generation in the province, firmly occupying the number one spot. To them, his strength had always felt unfathomable.

"If this is all the power a Thunder Spirit Body has, then the next sword strike will end everything."

Ning Jiang’s voice was indifferent. From the Thunder Punishment Sword, an increasingly sharp aura began to radiate outward in waves.
