The First Volume of Divine Land: Chapter 131 - Sword Intent in the Valley (Part 1)

  The old man in black clothes had a cultivation base of six layers of innate boundary, but he had not grasped the sword intent. His resistance to the sword intent was far inferior to that of Xuan Tian.

  In an area shrouded in first-class sword intent, the old man in black clothes still relied on his powerful martial arts will and was not affected by the sword intent. However, the second-class sword intent was several times stronger than the first-class sword intent, although it was also a virtual spiritual attack, it made people feel more real.

  The black-clothed old man suddenly rushed into the area shrouded in second-level sword intent, and even Xuan Tian had grasped the sword intent and reached a first-level peak. Suddenly facing a second-level sword intent attack, he was greatly affected, let alone the black-clothed old man.

  His martial will, in the face of the Second Sword Intention, had no ability to resist at all. The strong and realistic illusory attack of the Second Sword Intention made the black-robed old man think that he was really pierced by a sharp sword, and his body instinctively retreated. In an instant, his innate true energy almost went out of control, and he involuntarily let out a miserable cry.

  The old man in black, his face hidden behind a black veil, couldn't see the expression, but from the look of horror in his eyes, it could be judged that he was really scared just now.

  The second sword intent is not trivial.

  An ordinary swordsman, entering the Xiantian realm's tenth level, only then has a chance to comprehend the second-level sword intent. The black-robed old man's cultivation is merely at the sixth level of the Xiantian realm, compared to even the first-level sword intent, it's slightly inferior, how can he compare with the second-level sword intent?

  Seeing the old man in black, he stopped outside the area shrouded by the second-order sword intent. Xuan Tian stopped his footsteps, although he was also suppressed in the area shrouded by the second-order sword intent, but compared to the old man in black, it could be said that he was like a fish in water.

  In this valley with no way out, there is actually a sword intent enveloping it. Moreover, the range of the envelopment is over a thousand meters wide. It's really strange.

  About 600 meters from the end of the valley, Jian Yi had already reached the second stage. It's likely that at the deepest part of the valley, the intensity of his sword intent would reach the third stage. That was the willpower of a Ground Stage cultivator, which was quite frightening for an Innate Stage warrior.

  Although he was surprised by the sword intent in the valley, Xuan Tian didn't think much about it at this moment. He turned around and looked at the old man in black clothes more than 20 meters away, saying: "Old thing, heaven will not cut off a person's road, you dare to chase and kill the inner disciples of the Tianjian Sect, after I investigate later, your entire family will be exterminated because of this."

  The old man in black robes glanced at him, chasing after the inner disciples of the Tianjian Sect. He naturally knew what the consequences would be, and he had known it for a long time. Since he had taken action, there was no turning back.

  He coldly laughed a few times and said, "You little beast, do you think you've escaped? This is your grave, you can't go anywhere. Just now, I was caught off guard and suffered a sudden shock. The Second Stage Sword Intent is formidable, but it still can't withstand me."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in black shouted loudly: "Golden Light Sets on the Sun!"

  Along with the sound, the black-clad man's Xuanjie treasure sword suddenly burst into radiance, a sword aura shot up to the sky, and Xuantian's eyes narrowed, it was actually a mid-grade Xuanjie treasure sword.

  That golden sword tip, soaring into the sky, high above, radiant and resplendent, like a great sun.

  The old man in black changed his sword's momentum, a huge golden sword tip, slashing down like the setting sun, unstoppable, towards Xuan Tian.

  Xuantian's body suddenly retreated, but the farther he retreated into the valley, the power of his sword intent was like an invisible giant hand that grew larger and larger. This step back had only been less than twenty meters for Xuantian.

  In an instant, the dazzling golden sword tip came slashing down.

  "Flaming heavens!"

  "Zhòng Yuè Jiàn" burst out in an instant, a blue sword aura rose to the sky, forming a huge sword aura. The primordial true fire spread around the sword shadow, like a raging flame.

  The old man in black clothes performed a major killing move from the Xuanjie Zhongpin sword technique, and Xuantian knew its severity. As soon as he made his move, he also performed the ultimate move of "Lihuo Fengtian Jian".

  As the sword moved together, the first level of sword intent that Xuantian had comprehended also emerged with this sword strike. Xuantian's heart stirred with a sudden joy.

  Xuantian's sword intent, in the midst of the second-order sword intent that enveloped the surrounding void, did not receive any suppression whatsoever. On the contrary, there was a sense of a dragon returning to the great ocean. Xuantian's sword intent was displayed without any hindrance, and it actually merged with the second-order sword intent. The power of Xuantian's sword intent increased by several times at least.

  The sword intent is a spiritual power that can also endow the swordsman with actual attacking power. The power of Xuantian's sword intent doubles, and his attack power surges. In the second stage of sword intent, Xuantian has a feeling as if he is being assisted by a god.

  Pfft——

  Like an unstoppable golden sword tip falling like sunset, it was cut off by Xuan Tian's one sword.

  Flaming giant sword, cut through the void, cut through the golden sword edge, in an instant it cut out of the range of the second-order sword intent, directly cutting to the front of the old man in black.

  Clang!

  The flame giant sword slashed onto the black-robed old man's Xuanjie mid-grade treasure sword, only to be repelled and scattered. However, the black-robed old man's Xuanjie mid-grade treasure sword emitted a ringing sound, and his body involuntarily retreated one step.

  The old man in black clothes showed a look of horror in his eyes once again.

  Xuantian's strength was far inferior to his, but now Xuantian was like a divine assistant, and in an instant, his attack power increased several times. Moreover, with one sword strike, he brought out the second-order sword intent along with the sword aura, causing the black-clothed old man's instinctive fear to resist, unable to exert his full strength, and was actually shaken back by Xuantian's single sword strike.

  Xuantian saw his own sword intent, and it was actually able to drive the surrounding second-order sword intent, he was overjoyed in his heart. In the area shrouded by the second-order sword intent, his strength surged, as if aided by a god, and he actually had the power to fight against a sixth-level pre-heavenly expert.

  One sword sets the sky ablaze!

  Xuantian took advantage of the momentum to launch a surprise attack, and the "Heavy Mountain Sword" stabbed out a dazzling blue sword aura, carrying the second-level sword intent, bursting towards the black-clothed old man.

  The sword's edge had not yet arrived, but the intense sword energy had already fallen on the black-robed elder's body. The second-stage sword intent simultaneously enveloped him, making him feel an illusion of being pierced by a thousand swords in an instant.

  Although he clearly knew it was an illusion, the intensity of the second-order sword intent was several times more intense than the first-order sword intent, and his body still instinctively felt the impact, causing the innate true energy in his body to burst out in an instant.

  At this moment, Xuantian's sword tip had already reached the front of the black-robed old man.

  The figure of the old man in black flashed by, leaving a residual shadow, his body suddenly retreating over 100 meters to avoid Xuan Tian's sword. It seemed that he knew Xuan Tian was extremely troublesome within the range of the second-level Sword Intent. The old man in black retreated again and again, retreating over 300 meters until he stopped outside the range of the Sword Intent.

  "Clang!" The old man in black put away the Xuantian Zhongding treasure sword and said loudly, "You little beast, you've grasped the sword intent. In this area shrouded by second-level sword intent, I indeed can't do anything to you. However, this valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one exit. I'll guard the entrance, and you'll have nowhere to escape. You can either come out and die under my sword, or starve to death in this valley... Heh heh, choose your own path!"

  "Old thing, you can wait slowly outside, you'll wait till death, and I, young master, will live a good life." Xuan Tian shouted loudly, putting away his sword, and raised his middle finger at the black-clothed old man.

  The old man in black robes naturally didn't know what Xuan Tian's gesture meant, and calmly said: "I've been waiting for you, let's see how long you can last."

  Xuantian no longer paid attention to the black-robed old man and continued walking towards the depths of the valley.

  In this valley, it's actually shrouded in sword intent, which is really strange. Since we can't leave, Xuan Tian isn't anxious either. It's just right to enter the valley and investigate.

  The deeper into the valley, the more intense the sword intent became. Xuan Tian went from being able to move forward thirty meters in one step, to twenty meters, and finally, he could only advance ten meters. The invisible force was like a thousand knives cutting down on Xuan Tian's body. If it weren't for Xuan Tian's understanding of the sword intent, which could cut through all illusions, it would be impossible to move forward in this valley.

  Another two hundred meters forward, the sword intent that shrouded the void had already reached the peak of the second stage. There were still about three hundred meters to the end of the mountain valley, and it seemed that the intensity of the sword intent in front was even more intense.

  Xuantian took another step forward, and suddenly his foot felt a chill. It was as if a sword had flashed by, and in an instant, he lost all feeling below his calf. It seemed that the sword had just cut off his leg.

  Xuantian's heart suddenly shook, his spirit wavered, but in an instant, the sword intent in his heart had eliminated all illusions. He came to himself: it was fake, a virtual spiritual attack, at least with the intensity of a third-stage sword intent.

  Although he came back to his senses in his heart, his body had already made an instinctive reaction earlier. Xuan Tian's legs shrunk back like they were electrocuted, and the whole person violently retreated backwards.

  His body retreated, following the momentum of the sword's push. In an instant, Xuán Tiān took a step back, and he had already retreated dozens of meters, abandoning the progress he had made by advancing slowly, one meter at a time, just moments before.

  He fell to the ground, Xuan Tian looked down at his leg and indeed, his foot was still intact, hadn't been attacked, and sensation had also returned. However, the feeling from just now was too real, making him think that his leg had really been chopped off. Even with a strong will, maintaining a peak sword intent, the body's instincts still reacted faster than his spirit, automatically making a retreating action.

  It's ethereal and illusory, yet seemingly real; this is the manifestation of the power of sword intent.

  In the distance, an old man in black clothes let out a long, cold laugh. Apparently, Xuan Tian's body had exploded backward dozens of meters, and it was all within his sight.

  Xuān Tiān took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and continued to move forward, step by step, until he arrived at the vicinity of the third stage of Sword Intent.

  Walking in the realm shrouded by the sword intent, Xuan Tian had to use his heart's sword intent at all times to destroy all spiritual illusions that touched him, and his sword intent was greatly tempered.

  This time, Xuan Tian was well-prepared and stepped into the area shrouded by the Three Stages of Sword Intent.
