Chapter 136: Sword Intent
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Facing the falling Mountain River Medallion, the ghosts below let out terrified roars.
This was because the golden light on the Mountain River Medallion made them extremely afraid.
And this golden light was not just for show.
In fact, the essence of the golden light was the evolution of the power of the heavens.
Lu Yuan’s spiritual root was a Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens.
Therefore, when he carved the array, the array would naturally carry a bit of the will of the heavens.
However, achieving this was not as simple as completing the Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens.
At the very least, he had to complete the Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens with three spiritual roots before he could slightly imbue the power of the heavens into his spiritual energy.
The more spiritual roots of the Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens, the more heavens power he could carry.
Lu Yuan had already completed the Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens with seven spiritual roots.
The power of the heavens in his body was even denser than that of some cultivators who had completed the Core Formation through the way of the heavens.
This kind of extraordinary power, even if it only revealed a trace, it was not something that mere paper ghosts could withstand.
Boom!
As the Mountain River Medallion fell, although the ghosts below tried their best to defend themselves, they were still unable to escape their fate of having their souls scattered.
As for the demonic aura and death aura emitted by the ghosts after they died, they were absorbed by the Mountain River Medallion and eventually became a part of it.
Seeing this scene, Shen Xuan did not become angry but instead clapped his hands in delight.
“Amazing, amazing, you are really amazing. Fellow Daoist, can you tell me your name?”
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, “I am Bai Dafei from Qingyun Sect.”
The corners of Shen Xuan’s mouth curled up and his eyes were full of amusement as he said, “Bai Dafei, right? It’s quite unfortunate that you were born into this world.”
Suddenly, Shen Xuan snapped his fingers.
In the next second, two Paper Kings of Hell appeared beside Shen Xuan.
These two individuals were King of Hell Xuan, who had appeared in the courtyard earlier, and his newlywed wife, Ghost Bride.
They were both created by Shen Xuan using the Paper Binding Technique.
Their cultivation levels were all at the first transition of the Core Formation Stage.
Shen Xuan looked at Lu Yuan and joked, “You stayed voluntarily, so you must have some hidden skills that you don’t want to reveal, right?”
“Since you have the confidence to stay, I will naturally give you this chance.”
“As long as you can get rid of them, 1 not only can tell you the secret of this Ghost City, but I can also give you something very valuable. How about it?”
Lu Yuan remained silent in response to Shen Xuan’s words.
The reason he stayed was that he had already figured out Shen Xuan’s identity. He was not the kind of big boss who guarded the pass.
He was more like the general manager who managed the game, which was also the staff who managed the game.
Usually, there were many restrictions for such staff members.
For example, they could not easily attack players, and they had to follow certain rules.
Lu Yuan felt that Shen Xuan was undoubtedly in a restricted situation.
Of course, the real reason why Lu Yuan wasn’t afraid wasn’t just because he had figured out Shen Xuan’s true identity.
The real reason was that he realized the strength of Shen Xuan and the others seemed to be too weak!
Lu Yuan couldn’t defeat a cultivator at the Core Formation Stage, but he truly couldn’t defeat was actually a cultivator at the Core Formation Stage who was above the third revolution!
However, excluding Shen Xuan who could not make a move, the only ones who could make a move now were King of Hell Xuan and Ghost Bride.
Although these two ghosts had decent strength, they were not enough to pose a threat to Lu Yuan.
For a special reason, Lu Yuan decided to stay in Ghost City instead of rushing out.
Because there was something he cared about deeply in the city.
If he could obtain this thing, it would not only greatly improve Lu Yuan’s strength.
It could even increase his success rate in Core Formation through the way of the heavens.
Although Shen Xuan was not aware of Lu Yuan’s plans, he could still guess some of his intentions.
This young man in front of him seemed to believe that his strength was enough to sweep through the assessment ground that Shen Xuan guarded.
Even though Lu Yuan had great strength and talent, Shen Xuan still decided to teach him a lesson and show him that there was always someone stronger.
Thinking of this, Shen Xuan stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand.
In the next second, the King of Hell Xuan and Ghost Bride rushed toward Lu Yuan.
Facing two Core Formation Stage Kings of Hell, a long sword suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand.
This long sword was plain and unremarkable, without any special features.
Compared to Meng Ruyan’s peach wood sword, it diverged greatly.
In fact, Lu Yuan’s sword was indeed very ordinary.
It was the ‘novice long sword’ that the sect had given to him when he first joined the sect.
However, when Lu Yuan gripped the long sword, a breathtaking sword intent emanated from his body.
This sword intent was very sharp. Even Shen Xuan could feel its piercing edge.
For a moment, Shen Xuan was perplexed by Lu Yuan’s abilities.
Originally, after seeing Lu Yuan’s Nine Guard Return to Origin Array and the Mountain River Medallion, he thought Lu Yuan was a skilled array master who was good at setting up the array.
But in this situation, how could this young man be an array master?
This young man was clearly a monstrous sword cultivator!
Shen Xuan, who was experienced and knowledgeable, could feel the sword intent from Lu Yuan.
A sword cultivator who could comprehend sword intent was a far cry from one who couldn’t.
Lu Yuan calmly held the Qingyun Sword in his hand.
However, a large number of invisible astral winds began to emerge around him.
As the strong wind blew past, it directly cut out smooth marks on the surrounding walls and ground.
Even the King of Hell Xuan and Ghost Bride, who were rushing towards him, came to a halt.
This was because they could feel the intense aura of death from Lu Yuan’s sword.
It was as if Lu Yuan swung out his sword, the sword could instantly kill them.
Realizing this, the two Kings of Hell quickly unleashed their Ghost Domain.
To the two Kings of Hell, Ghost Domain was not just a domain.
It was also a special skill that could greatly increase their fighting power.
The Ghost Domain was filled with the ghosts that the two Kings of Hell had condensed over the years.
Under the influence of the two Kings of Hell, these ghosts directly rushed toward Lu Yuan.
However, when these Kings of Hell rushed five meters in front of Lu Yuan.
They were stopped by Lu Yuan’s Nine Guard Return to Origin Array.
No matter how these ghosts attacked, the black tortoise barrier remained unbreakable.
Meanwhile, the Qingyun Sword in Lu Yuan’s hand had already been slowly raised.
A pure white Sword Qi gathered on the sword tip.
Witnessing this, the two Kings of Hell became even more frantic.
If it was before, they would only feel the threat of death.
Now, they had already felt true death!
Driven by their fear of death, the two Kings of Hell sacrificed their Ghost Pearl.
The Ghost Pearl turned into a magic item and crashed into Lu Yuan..
