Chapter 87: Sword of Great River, Qingzhou Sword Noise

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The young man in black was no longer in the mood to wait.

He needed a battle.

Regardless of whether Su Changyu was pretending or not, the battle was inevitable.

When the longsword was launched, it came with a terrifying sword momentum that was like a gale and a thunderstorm.

At this moment, it was as if the sky had turned dark.

It was almost evening time, but as the young man in black drew his sword, the terrifying sword momentum seemed to have made the dark night come in advance.

The powerful sword momentum made the cultivators around them feel a terrifying aura.

Some cultivators with weaker cultivation levels felt their legs go weak under that sword momentum.

Not far away, Su Changyu was confused.

‘Why are we fighting as soon as the topic is brought up?’

‘Aren’t we going to continue chatting?’

‘I’m not ready yet.’

‘Why did you come straight up?’

‘You don’t have the Sword Dao spirit at all, who taught you the Sword Dao? Tell him to come out, I’ll reason things out with him!’

While Su Changyu was confused, the young man in black’s sword momentum was already less than a hundred meters in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Su Changyu was completely flustered.

‘It’s over! It’s over! It’s over!’

‘I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die!’

‘Who will save me?’

‘Brother Changsheng, help me!’

‘Wait, who is Changsheng again?’

‘What’s wrong with me?’

Su Changyu cried, finding his illness to be getting worse. Not only would he say something different from what he meant, but he had also begun speaking incoherently.

At this moment, Su Changyu was filled with endless regret. Had he known earlier that this would happen, he wouldn’t have come down from the mountain.

‘It’s all the Sect Leader’s fault for saying that he might have to handle my funeral. Now, it’s really going to come true.’

At this moment, the sword of the young man in black had already reached him.

Su Changyu was hopeless and knew that he would definitely die this time.

He had nothing more to say.

‘I shall be an honest man in my next life and not pretend to be impressive.’

Thinking of this, Su Changyu closed his eyes.

Yes, he closed his eyes, but he wasn’t trying to pretend again.

He was mainly a little giddy.

Phew!

However, at the next moment, a gust of cold breeze blew over slowly.

It made the corner of Ye Ping’s clothes crumpled.

Shortly after, Ye Ping slowly spoke up too.

“Ah, Eldest Senior Brother, I’m enlightened.”

As soon as he finished, the young man in black froze and stood rooted to the ground in shock.

He didn’t hear Ye Ping’s voice.

However, he froze because the longsword in his hand had become stationary.

Yes, he couldn’t move it at all.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

At the next moment, the sounds of trembling could be heard. However, the cultivators had no idea what was going on, and their eyes were filled with confusion as they were at a loss for what to do.

However, they soon found out where the sound was coming from.

The swords in their hands were vibrating.

Yes, their swords were vibrating at this moment.

“What’s going on? Why is the sword in my hand going out of control?”

“What’s vibrating so violently?”

“What happened?”

“Is it the sword intent of this person?”

“It can’t be, right?”

The voices were filled with disbelief and doubt.

However, more and more swords started vibrating and making loud sounds that intensified like a tsunami.

The cultivators inside and outside the city were all a bit overwhelmed.

The young man in black, in particular, sensed the strongest sword intent.

In front of him, Su Changyu also heard the tsunami-like sound of the swords.

In an instant, he opened his eyes.

He looked at everything with some surprise.

He initially thought that it was really going to be over for him this time, but to his surprise, Ye Ping was so terrifying to have been able to make so many swords vibrate with sounds.

However, Su Changyu didn’t relax at all because a flying sword that was as dark as ink was right in front of him. As long as he took a step forward, it would pierce through his heart.

However, the flying sword was constantly trembling and making noises, as if it would hurt Ye Ping at any time.

That made Su Changyu keep his guard up.

However, at the next moment, a loud and clear voice sounded while all the flying swords started flying over.

“The Sword of Great River.”

The clear voice came from behind Su Changyu.

In an instant, the swords began flying, and they turned into a sword river that surged towards Ye Ping.

The terrifying sword momentum turned into an indescribable might that spread outwards.

“What a strong sword intent.”

“How is that possible? Why did my flying sword fly towards him?”

“Ah! Is he really cultivating the Sword Dao?”

“This… this.”

All the Sword Immortals of Qingzhou were stunned.

They didn’t expect all the swords in their hands to fly towards Ye Ping, forming a river of swords above Ye Ping’s head and condensed into incredible sword momentum.

“Is this the sword intent? Is he going to condense the sword intent?”

All of a sudden, someone screamed and pointed at Ye Ping.

The voice sounded and hundreds of thousands of sword cultivators were once again shocked, each staring at Ye Ping in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

The most shocked one was none other than Xu Qiubai.

He was the young master of the Lijian Villa. He was confident that he was better than all the sword cultivators in Qingzhou in terms of the Sword Dao.

Hence, Xu Qiubai knew what the sword intent represented.

There were three realms of swordsmanship.

The realm of sword moves consisted of learning sword moves that could be used against enemies, but there were flaws in every sword move and the sword move would also have to be combined with other sword moves. During a real battle, no one would give you the opportunity to perform a complete sword move.

In the sword momentum realm, thousands of sword moves condensed into a sword momentum and each sword represented everything. The power of a set of sword moves could be shown with just one strike of the sword.

When one had condensed the sword intent, they would be at the Mahayana realm of the Sword Dao, and all sword momentum would turn into sword intent. Once the sword intent was cast, all enemies would be defeated.

The real Sword Dao powerhouses must condense their own sword intent. If they couldn’t even condense the sword intent, they wouldn’t be worthy of cultivating the Sword Dao.

Xu Qiubai’s father was the one who said that.

However, condensing the sword intent was extremely difficult.

Xu Qiubai was born in a family of Sword Dao, and he started practicing swordsmanship at the age of three, making it 23 years since he stepped into the Sword Dao. Yet, he hadn’t even condensed a precursor of the sword intent, let alone the sword intent itself.

Even Daoist Siji, the best Sword Dao expert in Qingzhou who had cultivated for over 200 years, had barely condensed his sword intent a few years ago. Yet, a young man in his twenties had already achieved that feat. How could it not be shocking?

Hence, when someone said that Ye Ping was comprehending the sword intent, Xu Qiubai was completely astonished.

Ye Ping seemed to be about two or three years younger than him. If he could condense the sword intent, he would be the best genius in Jin Nation.

No, the most important thing was that Ye Ping had said that he had only started immortal cultivation a few months ago.

In other words, it only took Ye Ping a few months to comprehend the sword intent.

‘No, no, no! This is impossible, absolutely impossible.’ Xu Qiubai shook his head, thinking that it was impossible because he had already believed that Ye Ping was a genius of the Sword Dao.

However, he definitely did not believe that Ye Ping could comprehend to this extent after only spending a few months cultivating.

Xu Qiubai was appalled.

The Qingzhou sword cultivators were also extremely shocked.

No one expected that Ye Ping was really comprehending the Sword Dao.

They all thought that Ye Ping was an extra that Su Changyu hired.

However, he never expected that Ye Ping was really comprehending the Sword Dao. Besides, he took only a short period of time to succeed.

“Damn it, seems like this senior is really a peerless Sword Immortal.”

“Is he a secret expert? He can make someone comprehend the sword intent with just a casual word of his. I love it.”

“I thought he was pretending at first, but now, it seems that I had been too stuck-up.”

“Shh, stop talking and comprehend properly. I’ve already comprehended this senior’s sword intent.”

“I seem to have felt a strong sword intent too.”

“Hush, I’ve already comprehended it. I’m going to ascend.”

“Everyone, are you for real?”

“To be honest, I sensed it too.”

Ye Ping’s epiphany made the Sword Dao cultivators inside and outside the ancient city of Qingzhou completely convinced that Su Changyu was a peerless expert.

The numerous sword cultivators were all sitting on the ground at this moment, feeling this powerful sword intent. They wanted to comprehend it too and see what they could comprehend.

However, not far away…

The young man in black was gripping his sword tightly.

The sword in his hand was trying to break free and go, but he was restraining it. Otherwise, it would have long darted away.

“Suppress!”

The young man in black roared. At this moment, a terrifying sword momentum erupted from his body too and various sword shadows appeared around him. He wanted to go against Ye Ping’s sword momentum.

He was indignant and unconvinced.

Boom!

Boom!

However, just as his sword momentum rose, the Great River sword momentum above his head seemed to have been simulated as even more terrifying power erupted from it, turning the swords into a peerless sword intent that killed the man in black.

A thunderous sound rang out with a sword intent that was like a large river, terrifying and extremely fast.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the young man in black.

It was an elder in a gray robe. He instantly appeared in front of the young man, raised his hand, and resisted against the sword intent with the light that came out of his hand.

“This is just a sword test, not a life and death battle. My young master has already lost due to his inferiority.”

The elder’s voice was low.

Without hesitation, he knocked the young man in black unconscious and then brought him elsewhere and vanished.

Clearly, the young man in black had a significant background, and when he encountered danger, someone would step in to protect him. That was the treatment that geniuses would enjoy.

However, at this moment, the attention of the entire Qingzhou cultivators was no longer on the young man in black.

All eyes were on Ye Ping.

If Ye Ping was able to condense sword intent, it would be too extraordinary.

A Sword Dao cultivator in his early twenties could condense the peerless sword intent.

He would be considered a hero in the Ten Nations.

Their eyes were full of expectations.

It was extremely silent outside the city of Qingzhou.

At this moment, the river of swords above Ye Ping’s head was intertwining and seemingly displaying the sword moves.
