Chapter 95

Red patterns actually appeared on his feet.

Surging with even more powerful true qi!

Making the fire dragon behind him become even larger.

Just from the aura.

It could already fully contend with the seemingly boundless sea of swords, even slightly exceeding it.

"It seems Meng Zhangqing is going to lose."

Looking at this scene, many people couldn't help but say.

Whether it was Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect or Azure Dragon’s Anger, both were their strongest moves.

And now it seemed.

Clearly, Azure Dragon’s Anger was a step ahead!

"Cui Qian is different from ordinary geniuses; his feet seem to contain mysterious power, which can increase the power of leg martial techniques."

"It is precisely because of this that he can rank among the heaven-gifted prodigies."

"It is said that this *Earth-Fire Divine Dragon Roll* was a leg martial technique specially found for him by Blazing Sun Valley; it didn't exist before."

Someone in the know said.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

"Good!"

Cui Feiting felt slightly relieved in his heart.

It looked like Cui Qian could basically win.

For a time, everyone seemed to think Meng Zhangqing’s defeat was certain.

Only Mo Yunling crossed her arms.

Expectation appeared in her eyes.

Cui Qian had used all his trump cards, but Junior Brother Meng hadn't!

This battle had no suspense from the beginning.

In her view, Junior Brother Meng probably just wanted to play around a bit, otherwise he could have solved it instantly!

"Meng Zhangqing, you tried your best,"

Cui Qian exhaled softly, confidence reappearing in his eyes as he looked at Meng Zhangqing, "Your potential is high; in time, you might not be unable to defeat me, but it is definitely not today."

Yet.

Meng Zhangqing smiled slightly and shook his head.

"How do you know I tried my best?"

Hearing this.

The smile on Cui Qian’s face stiffened.

Suddenly, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"The one who tried his best is you, not me."

The words fell!

Meng Zhangqing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again.

His entire aura changed drastically!

Like a peerless divine sword that had been sealed for a long time, finally breaking out of its sheath, boundless sharpness emerged between heaven and earth!

It seemed that even the nine heavens and ten earths could be shattered!

Crack, crack, crack!

The hard arena appeared with countless cracks, as if swept by countless sword lights in an instant, shattering into pieces!

Whoosh!

Under the integration of this momentum, tens of thousands of golden sword qi trembled crazily, their aura skyrocketing!

The sharpness was so intense that even the clouds in the sky were shredded!

Revealing the boundless clear sky!

"Impossible!"

Seeing this scene, Cui Qian’s expression changed drastically, pale as paper, and disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"Sword intent!"

"You actually comprehended sword intent!"

With his mind lost, he almost couldn't stabilize the move he had gathered.

Fortunately, he reacted immediately.

He wouldn't feel wrong!

This was just by touching it with his gaze, the feeling that his soul was about to be slashed!

It was sword intent!

The legendary martial Dao intent, and the thing he had been pursuing!

But wanting to comprehend martial Dao intent was too hard!

Apart from comprehension and foundation, it also required timing!

The top prodigies in the top thirty of the Hidden Dragon List, although they all possessed it, basically comprehended it when they were at the Ninth Level of the Sea-Opening realm, which is to say, close to the Creation realm.

But this guy in front of him?

He clearly just entered the Sea-Opening realm!

Which means there is a high probability he had it in the Opening-Aperture realm!

"How could it be..."

Cui Qian’s hands and feet were cold.

Meng Zhangqing’s appearance truly refreshed his understanding.

And if he knew that Meng Zhangqing had it in the Pulse-Forging realm, his Dao heart would probably crack entirely!

"Suppress."

Meng Zhangqing held his sword with his right hand and slashed at Cui Qian casually.

Clatter!

The sea of swords surged!

Like the Milky Way pouring down from the nine heavens!

The sword pool overturned!

The seemingly boundless sword qi rolled toward Cui Qian.

Its sharpness.

Covered the sky and earth.

Making the fire dragon Cui Qian had gathered tremble crazily!

"Ah!"

Waking up, Cui Qian didn't choose to retreat.

Instead, he gritted his teeth.

And met it head-on!

Because there was no room to retreat!

Although there was no chance of winning, at least he had to fight!

Boom!

However, during the collision, there was no suspense at all.

The huge fire dragon was instantly submerged, its head decapitated, its body torn apart, and finally, only a few sparks remained, which were extinguished in the rolling sea of swords.

As the sea of swords dissipated.

The scene in the arena was revealed.

Cui Qian was already lying in a deep pit, covered in sword marks, blood flowing continuously.

The spirit weapon on his feet had dimmed in color, its spirituality greatly damaged.

Clearly, he had fallen into a coma from heavy injuries.

"My son!"

Cui Feiting was the first to react; he rushed over in a hurry to help him up.

Upon realizing that his life was not in danger, he felt a sense of relief, but it was immediately followed by endless rage.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Meng Zhangqing.

The look in his eyes was exactly the same as the one Xu Mingyang had just displayed.

But Meng Zhangqing paid him no mind.

His figure slowly descended.

Thousands of sword auras returned to his body, and he retracted his sword momentum, his entire being returning to a calm state, free of wind and rain.

Just like an ordinary young master of a noble family.

Rather than the peerless swordsman from a moment ago!

"Are you not going to announce it yet?"

Meng Zhangqing looked at the adjudicator.

Hearing this.

The adjudicator suddenly snapped out of his daze.

He hurriedly shouted.

"The winner, Meng Zhangqing of the Profound Heaven Sect!"

Perhaps even he, accustomed to grand occasions, had not expected such a thing to happen.

As the words fell!

The previously silent audience erupted into an uproar.

One after another, they could not help but gasp, their faces filled with disbelief!

Heaven knows what they had just seen!

It was sword momentum!

It was actually sword momentum!

A youth who had only just entered the Sea Opening realm not long ago actually possessed sword momentum!

"How is this possible!"

Someone whispered, their entire body seemingly trembling.

As everyone knew.

How difficult it was to comprehend the momentum of the martial path.

Even top-tier geniuses had to spend a great deal of time, and it was estimated that one might only comprehend it upon reaching the ninth level of the Sea Opening realm.

Yet this child.

Was currently only at the third level of the Sea Opening realm!

There was even a high possibility... that he had done it before the Sea Opening realm.

"My heavens, what kind of terrifying comprehension must one have to achieve this?"

"No wonder he dared to challenge Cui Qian!"

"With sword momentum, let alone Cui Qian, even ten Cui Qians wouldn't be enough to beat him!"

"If he had used sword momentum from the start, Cui Qian's ending would have been the same as Xu You's—defeated in one strike!"

The crowd discussed, their voices filled with excitement, thrill, and shock.

It could be said that they were experiencing a hundred emotions at once.

A young inner disciple whom they had never thought highly of since his appearance was repeatedly shattering their perceptions!

Although their cheeks stung, their hearts were incredibly invigorated.

After all, at such an age and such a realm, to be able to comprehend sword momentum, one could imagine what heights he might reach in the future.

He was already in the ranks of top-tier geniuses!

And to witness the emergence of such a hidden dragon, was it not something to rejoice over?

"Do you think this guy will be able to comprehend sword intent in the future?"

Someone could not help but ask.

The crowd suddenly felt a tremor in their hearts.

Sword intent.

That was the true essence of the martial path!

The supreme and profound realm!

Even harder to comprehend than momentum!

Looking at the Hidden Dragon List, how many top-tier geniuses at most only possessed momentum; no one could touch that realm!

"Regardless, this guy is destined to become a dazzling star of the martial path in the future."

Someone said.

The crowd immediately looked at the white-clothed figure in the center of the arena.

For the first time, there was no rebuttal.

On the contrary, they were in full agreement.

"Handsome!"

Compared to the shock of everyone present, Mo Yunling was much calmer; her attention was entirely focused on the sword momentum.

With the sword momentum integrated into the Myriad Swords Return to Origin, its strength had increased by at least a dozen levels!

If he hadn't held back at the end, Cui Qian wouldn't have known how many times he would have died!

"It's a pity, if only Junior Brother Meng also possessed an Innate Sword Body, then he could teach that brat with the foul temper a lesson!"

"So she wouldn't go around with her nose in the air all day, acting as if she were the best in the world!"

Seemingly thinking of something, Mo Yunling bit her silver teeth, a look of disgust flashing in her eyes.

This Junior Brother Meng, whom she had never met before, was better.

Not only was his strength strong and his potential high, but his appearance was also extremely outstanding.

Look at this handsome face, and his physique...

If only she could...

Some non-existent memories suddenly flooded Mo Yunling's mind.

"May I ask how this Senior Sister should be addressed?"

Just as Mo Yunling was daydreaming.

A voice rang out in her ear.

Mo Yunling immediately came back to her senses, only to find that Meng Zhangqing had already arrived before her.

She hurriedly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

She said solemnly: "My name is Mo Yunling, an inner disciple of Lingxiao Peak, a student of the Sixth Elder."

"The Sixth Elder, then."

Meng Zhangqing's eyes flickered slightly.

Although there were many elders in the sect, in reality, most were no different from deacons.

They could be considered high-ranking deacons.

But if the elder's title was preceded by a number, the meaning was different.

They belonged to the true big shots of the sect.

They held positions in the Elder Pavilion.

It was said that of the seven branches of the Profound Heaven Sect, excluding the Sect Master's branch, the remaining six branches each had nine elders.

Their strength was also far above that of ordinary elders.

Second only to the Sect Leader!

"I have a small question, and I hope Senior Sister Mo can provide some answers."

Meng Zhangqing said.

"Please go ahead, Junior Brother Meng."

Mo Yunling's spirits lifted.

"Now that Cui Qian has been defeated by me, who should take the spot previously held by Xu You?"

"Do the subsequent challengers move up a rank directly?"

Meng Zhangqing said.
