Chapter 106: Sword Cry

ordsmanship, once imbued with intention, is equivalent to swordsmanship gaining thought. It no longer adheres to rigid, traditional sword techniques.Once this step is reached, it will be a qualitative...In the darkness, Su Xin moved slowly forward alone.

Suddenly, his expression changed. With a flick of his hand, the Azure Black Divine Sword appeared in his grasp.

He stopped his steps, right there in this void, and began to wield the divine sword in his hand. The divine sword though moving, yet his eyes were already closed.

Even within the Water Mystic Realm on this day, Su Xin never gave up on his understanding of sword intent and swordsmanship cultivation.

Given enough time, he will naturally fall into contemplation.

Wow! Wow! Wow! ~~

Blades of light flashed out at random, each imbued with profound sword intent that was continuously growing stronger.

Finally, another sword light swept out. The sword light slashed onto the ground below, directly cutting a huge sword mark into it.

Su Xin's eyes opened again, a smile appeared on his lips.

"The twenty-second kind of sword intent had also been comprehended, and Su Xin smiled."

After breaking through to the Void Realm, his comprehension speed was truly astonishing. Even within the Heavenly Water Secret Realm, during his occasional free time, he continued to comprehend sword intent. Over this period of time, he had still managed to thoroughly understand the essence of the twenty-second type of sword intent.

And every time he grasped the essence of a sword intent, his swordsmanship would grow stronger, and his strength would also increase.

Having retrieved his divine sword, Su Xin was ready to continue his journey, but just then...

"Shriek!!"

A sharp, piercing shriek suddenly echoed from afar across the heavens, traveling through the void.

As if the world itself were screaming.

Hearing this howl, Su Xin's heart instinctively trembled, and her gaze immediately turned toward the direction from which the howl came.

"Shriek!!"

The same roar sounded again.

“Could this be... the sound of a sword cry” Su Xin’s eyes flashed with surprise. “Could it be that a peerless sword treasure has been born”

Without hesitation, Su Xin immediately dashed toward the source of the sword's cry at the fastest speed he could manage.

"Shriek!!" "Shriek!!"

Each clang of steel still echoed incessantly, a jarring sound in this boundless darkness.

In the same void where sword cries echoed, atop a mountain, sat a cold and stern man bearing a divine sword. Hearing the sword cry, this cold and stern man raised his head in surprise.

"Sword-type treasures appearing"

“The sword cry is so loud and piercing, it must be a highly ranked sword-type artifact.”

The cold man's face was filled with ecstasy, and he immediately rushed over.

……

This is in a vast ruin, everywhere are collapsed or broken buildings, and at the center of these ruins, at the bottom where a large amount of rubble has accumulated, a golden divine sword is slowly rising, and half of its blade has already been revealed.

Those sharp, ringing sounds of swords were emanating from this golden divine sword.

As the divine sword gradually emerged, an invisible sword aura gathered around its blade, directly tearing apart the numerous rubble fragments on the surrounding ruins.

"This aura..."

Su Xin was the first to arrive at this ruin, and he also saw the golden divine sword.

The moment he laid eyes on the golden divine sword, he immediately knew.

"Top-grade Secret Treasure Divine Sword!"

Su Xin's eyes immediately blazed with fervor.

Treasures are divided into low-grade, high-grade, top-grade, and supreme treasures.

Even among the strongest of the Void-Shattering Realm, those at the very peak who are considered invincible, most commonly use only high-level mystical treasures.

Like Su Xin's previous use of the Azure Black Divine Sword, it was a high-tier divine sword, which he spent 3,000 Fire Points to exchange for in the Treasure Pavilion.

...and top-grade treasures... are also available for exchange at the Treasure Pavilion, but the price is frighteningly high. Even a mediocre top-grade treasure requires tens of thousands of fire points to exchange.

High value naturally means greater power.

According to Su Xin's knowledge, there are many Nirvana Realm powerhouses in the Dong Huang land whose strength is average. They mostly use top-grade treasures, and some even lack top-grade treasures, relying only on high-grade treasures.

And any top-grade artifact, there is no doubt that it can make many Nirvana Realm powerhouses drool over it.

Now, a top-grade artifact was appearing before him, and it happened to be the top-grade artifact divine sword. How could Su Xin not be surprised

"Oh no, this divine sword hasn't fully emerged yet. Su Xin's face changed.

"

If he hadn't fully emerged, then he wouldn't be able to take the divine sword immediately. He would have to wait for some time instead.

Since this divine sword's emergence caused such a stir, all the powerful figures who wandered around here during the time he waited would definitely be drawn in.

"Huh"

Su Xin thought, and immediately a streak of light flashed past him in the empty space beside him.

The cold and aloof man bearing a divine sword, with an undeniably conspicuous golden star mark between his brows, immediately made his identity known to Su Xin at just a glance.

"It's him!"

"Sword Marquis Xiao Chen!"

Su Xin was startled.

One hundred and thirty-eight peerless experts at the Profound Void Realm, who had been wandering in the secret realm of Tianshui for many years, including Jian Hou Xiao Chen. Among these Profound Void Realm powerhouses, Xiao Chen's strength was even enough to rank in the top ten.

Jian Hou Xiao Chen, proficient in swordsmanship.

His swordsmanship talent was also exceptionally high. Within his own imperial dynasty, he was personally bestowed the title of Sword Marquis by the reigning emperor.

Within the Tianshui Secret Realm, if one were to ask who among the invincible powerhouses of the Void-Breaking realm possessed the greatest strength, there was no doubt that it was Purple Moon Marquis. He was the only one who could fight head-on against Nirvana realm experts without falling behind.

If you ask who has the strongest swordsmanship and highest attainment in kendo within those invincible realms, the first person that comes to mind for many is this Sword Marquis Xiao Chen!

He can be called the number one swordsman among the powerful cultivators of the Void Breaking Realm in all the territories controlled by Mount Jiusheng!

However, this was also before Su Xin's rise...

"Ultimate Treasure Divine Sword!!"

Xiao Chen, just arriving at this ruin, saw the golden divine sword slowly rising from the rubble. A glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, he also noticed Su Xin standing beside him.

"A Void Core Mid-Stage" Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold.

"Get out!"

With a low growl, Xiao Chen did not draw his sword. He merely flicked his sleeve, and in an instant, three invisible sword intents transformed into 'sword edges', tearing through the air and appearing before Su Xin.

"Humph!"

Su Xin simply let out a cold snort, and like him, she didn't draw her sword. However, in the empty space before her, powerful sword intents condensed, piercing through with ease and tearing apart the three 'sword edges'. As the sword intent swept across, it also brought forth a gust of hurricane that charged towards Xiao Chen's direction.

Xiao Chen's hair and robes were all blown up by the hurricane.

"What sword intent"

Only after the hurricane passed did this dust finally take a second look at Su Xin.

He clearly hadn't expected that someone in the mid-Void Breaking stage could so easily block the three sword intents he had just transformed into 'sword edges'.

And just as Su Xin made his move, the hurricane's sword intent was incredibly dense and powerful.

However, Xiao Chen was only slightly surprised, but he still didn't take Su Xin seriously.

"Within three breaths, leave here, or you die!!" Xiao Chen said coldly.

"The joke, however, was met with a sneer from Su Xin. 'Sword Marquis Xiao Chen,' he scoffed, 'you're far too conceited.'"

"Knowing my name, yet showing no fear at all" Xiao Chen's eyes were icy cold. "You're asking for death!"

Whoosh!

Xiao Chen's figure flashed out, the divine sword that had always been on his back suddenly unsheathed.

Endless sword intent condensed, Xiao Chen waved his hand, the divine sword in his hand surged forward like an imperial sword, slashing down directly.

"Emperor's Sword"

Su Xin's eyebrows shot up.

He had looked over Xiao Chen's information and knew that his swordsmanship was domineering and imposing, as if he were the ruler of the world, with immense power.

Haha~~

Su Xin laughed, and the Qing Wu divine sword in his hand instantly slashed out.

Layers upon layers of countless sword shadows gathered together... Layered Shadow Style!

Here it is!

Their collision unleashed an endless tide of sword intent, surging and crashing wildly.

Su Xin and Xiao Chen both paused, taking a step back. The next moment, the two rushed out again.

Here we go! ~~

~~~~

Both of their sword techniques erupted at the same time, and for a moment, the ruins were filled with a dense array of sword shadows.

Each sword shadow was unbelievably fast, exchanging blows over a hundred times in the blink of an eye.

With another violent clash, the two figures finally pulled apart.

This person's sword intent comprehension is so high, it surpasses even mine!

At the beginning, Xiao Chen didn't take Su Xin seriously. However, at this moment, he was staring intently at Su Xin with a grave expression.

In that instant of their clash, he sensed that Su Xin was weaker in terms of raw power compared to him. However, her swordsmanship was superior, and her comprehension of sword intent clearly surpassed his own.

"After decades of contemplation, I have only grasped the essence of eighteen sword intents. But this person before me has mastered at least twenty. Xiao Chen's heart was filled with a touch of shock."

"As expected of Sword Marquis Xiao Chen, who is considered the number one swordsman in the Broken Void Realm by many. Although his sword intent comprehension is slightly lower than mine, his swordsmanship, which seems to dominate the world, is indeed extraordinary. Even Su Xin, who has not used his ultimate move, is secretly admiring him."

"Who are you"

Xiao Chen stared at Su Xin, his voice low and deep, "You are only a mid-stage Void Breaker, yet you possess the invincible combat strength of a Void Breaker realm. Such a talented powerhouse shouldn't remain unknown."

"Tianyan Dynasty, Su Xin opened his mouth."

"Su Xin" Xiao Chen frowned. He had never heard of that name before, so he must be a powerful warrior who had just come to the Tian Shui Secret Realm not long ago.

"Su Xin, you are very strong. Xiao Chen respects your abilities. If you leave now, I am willing to offer two high-grade artifacts, including this divine sword that has accompanied me for many years," Xiao Chen said.

Xiao Chen has already shown his sincerity.

If it were someone else, he would have killed them without hesitation, but Su Xin's strength in front of him had earned his respect.

Most importantly, he didn't want to continue fighting Su Xin. After all, the top-tier divine sword was about to appear. If the two of them kept fighting like this, it would be even more troublesome when other powerful people arrived and started vying for it.

“Haha, two high-grade treasures Xiao Chen, you're quite generous,” Su Xin laughed. “If it were ordinary treasures or artifacts, I might actually consider it. But now, facing a top-tier divine sword, mere two high-grade treasures won't do!”

"Xiao Chen, if you're sensible, leave immediately. Otherwise, I won't mind taking action and beating you until you leave." Su Xin glared coldly at Xiao Chen.

"You, you're going to die!!"

Xiao Chen was furious.

He has already made concessions, but this Su Xin in front of him clearly doesn't know how to appreciate them.

If that's the case, then let's kill.

Boom!!

Xiao Chen's spiritual power suddenly surged, and at the same time, the conspicuous star mark on his brow erupted in a dazzling light.

It is obvious that Xiao Chen has already cast some kind of secret art, allowing his strength to be greatly enhanced in a short period of time.

"Di Qi!!"

Xiao Chen let out a low growl. He simultaneously raised his divine sword in both hands. With boundless spiritual power surging, a towering phantom of an emperor clad in a royal robe appeared behind him.

This phantom of the Emperor also raises the long sword in his hand.

That was an imperial sword that seemed capable of opening the heavens and earth, possessing a terrifying might. It slashed out in an instant with a mighty flourish.

……ssuming.""Su Xin, three years ago, I ordered you to be imprisoned in the Forbidden Demon Prison. Have you ever held a grudge against me" Tianyan Emperor smiled and looked at Su Xin."Su Xin shook his h...
