Chapter 423: Chapter 99: The Victor Lives, the Vanquished Die!

“Sword Intent?”

Upon hearing Zhu Lingmei’s words, Pang Yueyang, who had been standing casually to the side, suddenly grew serious. He glanced at Luo Cheng and frowned slightly:

“You mean to say he has comprehended Sword Intent?”

Among the younger generation of swordsmen in the Great Yue Dynasty, so far, no one was known to have comprehended Sword Intent.

Even the genius swordsman Yan Qingshuang, the top disciple of the Outer Sect of Luoxia Sect who had awakened the Nine-star Sword Martial Soul, only held the prospect of achieving it!

If Luo Cheng truly comprehended Sword Intent, it would undoubtedly be a matter that would shake the entire Great Yue Dynasty and startle the Three Sects!

Zhu Lingmei nodded, then shook her head:

“He’s still countless miles away from true Sword Intent. At best, he’s only brushed against the threshold of Sword Intent. Considering his age and cultivation, however, this is already astonishing! Perhaps in the future, he might have a chance to truly grasp Sword Intent.”

As a talent of the Inner Sect herself, Zhu Lingmei was known as the Cold Fragrance Sword, yet she had also been unable to truly comprehend Sword Intent.

Because of this, she deeply understood the difficulty of achieving Sword Intent.

To touch its threshold at his age was already far beyond most swordsmen.

He could rightly be called a genius swordsman!

Pang Yueyang looked toward Luo Cheng, sneering, “But that depends on whether he survives this battle. Elder Qin Douyuan likely hasn’t used his true killing moves yet! Jin Min certainly won’t let him leave here alive.”

“Damn it! How is this possible!”

On the other side, the Eighth Prince Jin Min first gasped sharply, then erupted into furious rage.

He hadn’t even conceived that Luo Cheng might resist Qin Douyuan!

He had firmly believed this would be an utterly one-sided fight, where Luo Cheng would assuredly die as soon as Qin Douyuan got serious!

The current situation had far exceeded his expectations.

“Sword Heart Perfection! And that indestructible Sword Skill… In terms of Sword Dao talent, this guy is undoubtedly on the level of a prodigy!”

The Inner Sect disciples standing nearby exchanged bewildered glances.

Hearing this, Jin Min’s eye twitched violently as he shouted harshly, “Elder Qin, stop holding back! Use all your strength and finish this brat quickly! Kill him!!”

Qin Douyuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes turning crimson.

He, a mighty Middle Stage Awakening Vein Realm expert, had been injured by someone in the Early Stage of Awakening Vein Realm Second Level — a fact he couldn’t accept!

Without waiting for Jin Min’s commands, he had already decided to unleash his full power to obliterate Luo Cheng!

“Kid, I didn’t expect your Sword Dao Realm to reach such heights. But no matter your tricks, today you will undoubtedly die!”

Boom!

As his words fell, Qin Douyuan’s Essence Energy surged, a dense yellow light enveloping his body, almost turning tangible. His combat strength climbed to its absolute peak, and the terrifying aura, like a violent storm, swept out in all directions!

“Die! Shattering Mountains, Split the Void!”

With a furious roar, Qin Douyuan unleashed his ultimate killing move. His figure streaked through the air like a rainbow, closing in on Luo Cheng from above, his fists manifesting countless mountainous shadows. Peaks stacked upon peaks, overwhelming and unstoppable as they crashed down ferociously!

Boom!

Before the fists reached their target, the air around Luo Cheng exploded violently. The ground within a hundred-meter radius sank several meters, revealing the terrifying power!

“I have no time to waste fighting you. Let me send you on your way!”

Luo Cheng’s black hair whipped wildly, his star-like black eyes locked onto Qin Douyuan, radiating sharp energy.

Having seen through their disparity in strength, he decided not to waste any more time and immediately released his Martial Soul.

Boom!

Nine-colored Mysterious Light erupted, the air rippled like water, and a wild surge of power soared skyward, sweeping across the arena!

“Luo Cheng has released his Martial Soul! What a powerful aura!”

“A wasted Martial Soul can enhance combat strength?”

Exclamations filled the Martial Arts Square.

The overwhelming combat strength Luo Cheng displayed made everyone momentarily forget that he, too, was an Awakening Vein Realm expert capable of amplifying his strength with his Martial Soul!

Now that he had unleashed it, the crowd was utterly stunned!

“What! Die already!”

Qin Douyuan’s expression changed drastically, but at this point, it was impossible to pull back. He could only exert every effort to drive his Essence Energy, amplifying his punch to annihilate Luo Cheng!

Clang!

Sword energy surged. The Blood Edge Sword in Luo Cheng’s hand, seemingly resonating with his fighting spirit, emitted a sharp hum, spreading chilling winds of sword energy far and wide!

“Cut!”

With a stomp of his foot, Luo Cheng merged seamlessly with his sword, becoming part of the Sword Qi Tornado. Like a crimson bolt of lightning, he surged upward against the mountain-like fist force.

Man as Sword!

Fight as Sword!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…

Explosions like rolling thunder erupted across the battlefield. The towering, chain-like mountain shadows were forcibly split open by a straight crimson path, Luo Cheng’s Sword Qi tearing through Qin Douyuan’s fist force!

Qin Douyuan’s soul seemed to flee his body as the blood-red lightning rapidly grew in his vision, forcing him to shift just in time to avoid a vital strike!

Slash!

Blood sprayed. Qin Douyuan screamed in agony as his entire right arm was severed, sending him flying backward and crashing into the ruins!

The crowd was left absolutely speechless, witnessing Elder Qin Douyuan, a Peak Awakening Vein Fourth Layer expert, be gravely injured by a single strike!

Cough!

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Qin Douyuan stared at Luo Cheng in disbelief, “Impossible! You, a mere awakened waste Martial Soul trash, with only the cultivation of Early Stage Awakening Vein Realm Second Level, how could your strength possibly be this overwhelming?!”

Intense fury and fear caused Qin Douyuan’s voice to tremble uncontrollably!

A figure he once dismissed as trash now possessed the ability to utterly defeat him!

He couldn’t comprehend it!

With steady steps, Luo Cheng approached, mimicking Qin Douyuan’s initial tone with a faint smile, “What a pity. If Qin Yuanfeng were here, he could have witnessed your blood staining the arena!”

“You…”

Qin Douyuan’s expression shifted drastically, sensing the chilling killing intent emanating from Luo Cheng. Panic-stricken, he turned his gaze to the spectating Eighth Prince Jin Min, pleading, “Your Highness, save me!”

Jin Min stood up, eyes cold as he stared at Luo Cheng.

To him, Qin Douyuan’s survival was insignificant!

Yet everyone knew that Qin Douyuan was his subordinate. For him to beg for aid now involved his dignity and the honor of the Crown Prince Hall.

The man could not die!

At least not in front of everyone!

“Spare him!”

Jin Min fixed his gaze on Luo Cheng, his tone heavy, brooking no argument.

Upon hearing this, Qin Douyuan felt as though absolution had been granted, hurriedly clutching his shoulder and walking toward the stands.

Just then, Luo Cheng waved his hand.

Slash!

A streak of Sword Qi burst forth, severing both of Qin Douyuan’s legs.

“Ahhhh! How dare you sever my legs! Luo Cheng, I swear you and I will never coexist!”

Qin Douyuan screamed in unbearable pain, his face twisting as he glared at Luo Cheng with utter hatred.

He hadn’t expected that even with Jin Min’s intervention, Luo Cheng would still dare to strike!

Striding closer, Luo Cheng’s gaze remained cold. “You seem to forget. This is a life-and-death duel. The victor lives, the loser dies! Where else did you think you were going?”

Jin Min froze for a moment, his gaze flaring with dangerous light, a mix of anger and icy rage.

He had commanded mercy!

Only for his order to be flatly ignored!

“You insolent fool! If you dare attack him once more, I guarantee you’ll never leave the Martial Arts Square alive! You will surely die today!”

“Oh, really?”

Luo Cheng cast a glance over, his lips curling into an uncharacteristically radiant smile for someone so young, and swung the Blood Edge Sword in midair.

Slice, slice, slice, slice…

Sword Qi surged, blood splattered, and Qin Douyuan didn’t even have the chance to screech before his body was sliced into pieces, his life coming to an abrupt end!
