Chapter 296: [238] Sword Intent Evolution! Seizing the New Transcendent (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Recommendations, and Support)_1
“Chi—”
Gongsun Qianfeng was slightly surprised by Pei Jinye’s sword strike.
However, Pei Jinye didn’t give him much time to be surprised.
He also didn’t dare to be completely arrogant at this moment.
Almost instantly, Gongsun Qianfeng’s eyes bloomed with a blue light.
“Where’s the battle army!”
The void in front of him suddenly seemed to be torn apart, and a terrifying storm tore apart countless falling twigs…
Following that, a tall, ice-blue-skinned giant appeared, his fists like mountains and rivers, blocking in front of Pei Jinye’s sword.
“Bang!”
However—
There was hardly a moment’s pause.
The tall ice giant that had just burst out of the void was already shattered to pieces.
This scene made the hearts of two young people watching from afar jump with fright.
“It can’t even block this!!!”
But that was also just a moment.
“Freezing.”
A whisper emerged, almost inaudibly, amidst the storm.
All around, ice formed in response to the voice.
One had to admit, the power of Gongsun Qianfeng’s freezing ability was much stronger than that of the Wei family boy!
The range of the ice seal was at least ten meters.
Almost in the instant of being frozen, Pei Jinye felt his charging body obstructed.
But[Shadow] was activated.
The sensation of obstruction in front of him disintegrated instantly.
He disappeared in an instant… and reappeared the next… his sword slashing down fiercely like thunder bursting.
The sword vibrated, reflecting the vast frost around.
In a moment, it seemed as if thousands of dazzling sword lights were cutting through the air, forming a vacuum in the stormy din.
The chilling sword light caused ripples to spread, piercing relentlessly toward Gongsun Qianfeng.
“Combine!” Gongsun Qianfeng’s face, which had been calm, now added a few shades of shock and anger.
He was shocked and angry that Pei Jinye’s swordsmanship could break through his defenses so quickly.
Betwixt his hands, terrifying frost condensed, and he pulled back, narrowly escaping Pei Jinye’s intensely sharp sword.
But what Gongsun Qianfeng absolutely didn’t expect was…
His opponent seemed to have anticipated this, and suddenly made a diagonal chop, filled with ferocious light.
Ordinary people practicing swords, aiming to gather Sword Intent, have to rely on talent…
If one possesses a sword-related Extraordinary Ability, it can only be said that the speed of practicing sword arts would be fast, but whether one can condense Sword Intent also depends on the individual’s martial arts aptitude.
If Extraordinary Genes are merely a stepping stone, then martial arts aptitude ensures the upper limit.
This kind of martial arts aptitude, according to an ancient saying, is actually “root bone”… Root bone is innate, and it is almost impossible for talent stemming from the ability’s line to alter their upper limit.
So it’s no wonder that Gongsun Qianfeng feels… he can’t fully understand the young swordsman before him.
How old is he?
Yet his Sword Intent has already condensed.
Not only has it condensed, it’s also damn fierce!
Who taught this swordsmanship?
He couldn’t have started practicing from the womb, could he?
Almost in an instant.
Pei Jinye, with Sword Intent following his movements, weaved like a dragon, stirring up dust and stones in the shattered forest and turning them into a sky of powder.
This sword strike was neither”Sword Decides Life or Death”nor”Celestial Human Sword Art”; it was a sword strike of Pei Jinye’s own making.
Pure and purely his own.
It was a sword strike formed from his own enlightenment and fusion!
The pale blue Sword Light flashed suddenly, raising the whirling dust and debris high into the sky.
…
“This sword…” The hunched elder tried to rush forward several times, but in the end, Gongsun Qianfeng stopped him; as he witnessed Pei Jinye’s sword strike, he was somewhat uncertain.
Ordinary sword techniques are just chopping, slashing, stabbing, lifting, and wiping.
According to their moves, they can display extraordinary power.
But even so, such swordsmanship only belongs to the ordinary category.
Because such sword techniques simply can’t kill the strong.
Yet Pei Jinye’s sword strike at the moment felt entirely different to him.
Its momentum was grand, enhanced with Blood energy, appearing sublime and bright without losing its dominance.
The old man’s breath hitched for a moment.
He could hardly imagine that the young man opposite him, who didn’t look very old, was capable of unleashing such a simple yet not so simple sword strike.
“This sword is very strong.”
The hunched elder dared not let Pei Jinye continue to attack.
In his heart, the threat Pei Jinye posed had soared, pushing close to the peak!
Not for any other reason but because of this sword!
Profound sword techniques often appear unadorned, but actually dominate with momentum.
Just like Pei Jinye’s sword, once Gongsun Qianfeng’s mind was deterred, even if he could block the first sword, under the continuous accumulation of Sword Intent, each strike would be fiercer and more ferocious than the last! There would always come a time when he could no longer withstand it!
The old man dared not guarantee how many of Pei Jinye’s swords Gongsun Qianfeng could withstand.
All he knew was…
The heir of the Gongsun family absolutely must not meet with an accident!
“Young master, dodge!”
The sudden intervention of the hunched elder also took Gongsun Xiuwen and Gongsun Liang by surprise.
Both of them were as shocked as if they had seen a ghost.
They never expected Sea Old to join the battle.
Did Sea Old think Qian Feng would lose?
How could that be possible!!!
But Sea Old had no time to explain anything to them, charging forward with his fastest speed.
The hunched figure flashed instantly, and although he appeared like a tiny boat in the storm of Sword Light, he still rushed forward without turning back.
His fists, burning with flames, brought forth a Fire Dragon as he pushed with all his might, charging fiercely toward Pei Jinye.
However, by this point, Pei Jinye’s Sword Intent had already erupted within this cloud of dust, forming a soaring dragon above everyone’s heads, winding and coiling.
This sword condensed Pei Jinye’s essence, qi, and spirit into one, forming a seamless force that spilled out like the Milky Way in a blink of an eye.
…
Even the Fire Dragon unleashed by the hunched old man couldn’t come close to Pei Jinye before it was obliterated by a burst of cyan-white sword light, crushed to nothingness in an extremely fierce and savage manner.
“What!!!” The hunched old man was stunned.
Even Gongsun Qianfeng standing behind him was petrified.
The Fire Dragon Twin Fists were the hunched old man’s famous killer move.
Even though he was advanced in age, with greatly diminished strength… surely that shouldn’t mean he was incapable of landing even a single blow.
The hunched old man, being a longtime veteran of the jianghu, immediately sensed an enigmatic change in the sword intent radiating from the young swordsman—it seemed as if it had suddenly gained a profound significance.
It was the ultimate in ruthlessness and the ultimate in dominance.
This feeling was not good.
It was as if his opponent had suddenly turned into an unparalleled master.
So sudden.
And even more fatal!
Flames burst from his fists and spread throughout his body, forming a tremendous shield of flame. The hunched old man yelled for Gongsun Qianfeng to back off, and then turned into a flaming ball, launching himself fiercely at his opponent.
But it seemed he had no idea who he was facing right now!
Pei Jinye was expressionless as he also surged forward.
At the same time—
All systems go!
King Kong! Blood Pattern! Rage!
Full power mode activated!
Power boosted to the maximum!
Weapon holding! Combat power soaring!
Blood Sword Furnace! Activate!
Think you can kill me? Space Lock!
“Boom!”
Almost instantly, the hunched old man who rushed towards Pei Jinye had his eardrums pierced by a loud shock, and the next moment, half of his body started to violently shake upon contact, his vitality gushing out like floodwaters bursting a dam, beginning to crumble apart.
Up close, he widened his eyes in shock at the stern-faced young man in front of him… unable to comprehend.
How could someone so young be so outrageously powerful!
In the midst of his face turning pale, the hunched old man chose not to continue his attack but instead slipped away, trying to withdraw.
However—
“You’ve come all this way, and now you want to leave!”
The cold voice of Pei Jinye pierced into the ears of the hunched old man. He panicked, looked up, and saw a blinding expanse of sword light, robbing him of all his vision!
Sword Qi like an ocean, bones as boats!
Under the terrifying enhancement of Pei Jinye’s peak vitality, the sword in his hand was like a divine sword piercing through heaven and earth, slashing down fiercely!
“This is bad!!!”
Gongsun Qianfeng realized something was terribly wrong with the old man and hastily made his move.
Three forces suddenly exploded together.
Like tens of tons of explosives detonating.
Rolling dust spread in wild and reckless waves to all directions.
A hundred meters away, Gongsun Liang and Gongsun Xiuwen had already flashed away with faces full of shock.
The terror unfolding before their eyes had completely dumbfounded them.
No matter how much they racked their brains… they couldn’t fathom that the young investigator, who appeared to be from the Investigation Team and not very old, could be so freakishly strong.
And even now…
They hadn’t even the slightest doubt about Pei Jinye’s “nefarious” intentions for bringing them to this remote forest!
…
Beneath the terrifying clamor, the hunched old man felt his neck being gripped by a massive hand, and he swung his fists trying to break free.
However, his opponent’s strength was more than double his own!
Under the dense smoke.
He could barely discern a colossal figure…
Those eyes were completely lifeless.
He couldn’t understand… what kind of monster this enormous creature in front of him was!
“Boom” went the sound!
The giant stomped down, and the tremendous force dug three feet into the ground, forming a curtain that blotted out the sky, concealing everything between the two of them.
In that moment, the powerful aura exuding from the giant was like towering mountains and precipitous ridges, with the hunched old man’s struggles proving futile.
Waves of rolling dust rose into the air.
At some instant.
The hunched old man thought he heard someone say…
“Enter the dream.”
“Crack!”
Limbs torn off, blood splattered… yet no cries of agony rose again.
…
[New Extraordinary Gene: Spirit·Ragefire]
[New Extraordinary Ability: Angry Sea]
[New skill: …]
[Vitality+0.41 Card]
…
With a “thud,” a corpse fell in front of Gongsun Qianfeng, causing his pupils to contract.
Almost instantly, he recognized the identity of the body.
“Sea Old!!!”
He couldn’t believe it—Sea Old was dead?!
And at this moment, Pei Jinye had somehow already changed into a black windbreaker, completely ignoring Gongsun Qianfeng’s astonished expression.
His chilling gaze swept over—
“Now, it’s your turn.”
Whoosh!
His figure burst forth, the terrifying power crushing and exploding the surrounding dust.
Almost instantly.
Pei Jinye’s figure had reached Gongsun Qianfeng!
