Chapter 911 - 404: Blood Sword 2
Always remember, even just the edge of Sword Intent can severely injure a Great Power!
"Sword Cultivator, Sword Cultivator, only those who wield swords can be called Sword Cultivators!"
At this moment, the senior brother spoke up, "Although that’s true, mastering the Sword Intent is also a crucial aspect for a Sword Cultivator."
"Right now, the confrontation between Xu Ran and Baldy is purely about Sword Intent, not involving Swordsmanship yet."
As he spoke, the senior brother’s gaze suddenly focused on the Dueling Arena.
"However, Baldy’s Sword Intent seems somewhat inferior to Xu Ran’s!"
As soon as the senior brother spoke, the second brother and junior sister immediately looked at the battle in the Dueling Arena.
The situation was indeed as the senior brother described.
Despite that.
Xu Ran’s white Sword Glint and Baldy’s blood Sword Qi were flying sword intents in the arena, restricting each other.
Yet in reality, without noticing, the blood Sword Qi had slowly been worn down.
Not only worn down but some of the blood Sword Qi had even been assimilated by the white Sword Glint!
Over time, Baldy was certainly going to lose!
"Is this being assimilated?" Junior sister asked aloud, looking at the scene.
"Wrong!" The senior brother immediately refuted, "This isn’t called assimilation, it’s called returning to its essence!"
"Don’t forget, it was said before that the Sword Intent in Baldy’s hands is essentially the Sword Intent of the Sword Immortal, but its fusion with the aura of the Nether Abyss makes it become so bizarre!
Understand, the Sword Intent of the Sword Immortal is already the strongest in the world, adding anything else will only be counterproductive, making the Sword Intent impure and creating weaknesses easily!"
While speaking.
The senior brother gazed intensely at the Silver Light Iron Sword in Xu Ran’s hand.
"The Silver Light Iron Sword in Xu Ran’s hand, it’s the Sword Immortal’s companion ever since engaging with swords!
Even though it’s only an ordinary Profound Iron Sword, it carries the purest Sword Intent of the Sword Immortal!
That is the purest Sword Intent!"
As the senior brother spoke, his tone had a hint of envy.
He may not be considered a pure Sword Cultivator, but experiencing the purest, most essential Sword Intent of the Sword Immortal is every swordsman’s dream!
This opportunity just so happens to fall to Xu Ran.
Nevertheless, he deserves it, having made it through the trials of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower to get here!
In the trial.
At this moment, Baldy’s expression no longer has the initial leisureliness.
After all.
Even the junior sister could critique the situation, how could he not see it?
Feeling the Sword Intent on his Blood-Red Iron Sword slowly vanish, while the white Sword Glint’s Sword Intent becomes increasingly fierce, even though the process is quite slow.
However.
At the beginning, both their Sword Intents were evenly matched.
And it’s only been a short while.
The blood-colored mist in the arena has already dissipated by a quarter.
Even though the white Sword Glint hasn’t increased so much, its growth is indeed rapid.
In due time, the blood Sword Intent will inevitably be entirely devoured by the white Sword Glint.
"Your cultivation of Sword Intent isn’t proficient yet!"
Xu Ran also knew Baldy’s situation well, offering a kindly reminder.
He also understood that continuing this way, he would certainly be the winner, and if he were Baldy, he’d seek transformation.
Yet Xu Ran knew clearly, no matter how Baldy transforms, the winner would definitely be him.
At this moment, a surge of confidence rose within Xu Ran.
Simultaneously.
The previously fierce white Sword Clamor became invasive, astonishingly starting to spread towards the blood Sword Intent, attempting to transform it all into white Sword Glint.
"Not good!"
Feeling the situation turn dire, Baldy immediately withdrew.
The Blood-Red Iron Sword previously hovering and releasing blood aura instantly returned to Baldy’s hand, halting the release of blood mist from its Sword Pattern.
At this time.
The blood red mist floating in the air, sensing the disappearance of the Blood-Red Iron Sword’s aura, quickly grew feeble.
The white Sword Glint saw this and immediately struck at the ownerless blood mist.
In an instant.
The whole Dueling Arena was left with only the white Sword Glint, enveloped in white mist like the Celestial Palace, akin to an Immortal Realm!
Xu Ran holding the Silver Light Iron Sword barely had time to feel the surging Sword Intent within.
The next moment.
He suddenly felt a chill behind him.
Xu Ran quickly raised the Silver Light Iron Sword, and from its reflection, saw a blood-colored Baldy appearing behind him, eyes glowing red like a descending Demon God.
Baldy was sneaking an attack!
Upon seeing it.
Xu Ran’s body immediately shifted sideways.
Instantly.
A blood-colored light slashed past Xu Ran’s face, slicing off a few strands of hair that fell to the ground.
Xu Ran successfully evaded the surprise attack.
"Crash!"
The evaded Blood-Red Iron Sword sharply struck the ground next moment, causing a fierce collision sound.
The firm ground now hosted a near ten-yard-deep crack.
If this sword had struck Xu Ran, even if he possessed the Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, he would surely have lost mobility, becoming a lamb waiting for slaughter!
Successfully dodging an attack, Xu Ran had no time to relax.
Soon.
Supporting on his right leg, thrusting the Iron Sword into the ground, his small frame gained a support point.
"Crash!"
Having failed the surprise attack, Baldy must bear the repercussions.
Baldy, having just struck with his sword, had no reaction time, giving Xu Ran a chance.
"Earth Split!"
Only to see.
Xu Ran roared lowly.
Next moment.
His small frame pulled the Silver Light Iron Sword from the ground, with a reverse grip his right hand burst with golden Spiritual Qi, channeling a rushing power into the Silver Light Iron Sword.
"Ha!"
Immediately, the Silver Light Iron Sword being pulled seemed to have absorbed a formidable force from the earth, carrying vigorous white Sword Qi, fiercely attacking Baldy who couldn’t react.
"Whoosh---"
It was then.
Only hearing a piercing sound, the white Sword Glint emitted by Xu Ran’s Silver Light Iron Sword sliced through Baldy’s body as if through tofu.
"Was it successful?"
The second brother, observing the trial, noticed the white Sword Glint slicing through Baldy’s body and immediately stood up, craning his neck to see clearer details.
Just now, Baldy’s surprise attack was extremely insidious with great speed and no warning; had Xu Ran not reacted quickly, he might have been the one sliced by sword Qi.
Truthfully.
Seeing Baldy appear behind Xu Ran, the three gasped.
Junior sister even instinctively covered her eyes to avoid seeing something too gory.
But fortunately, such scenes didn’t occur. Instead, Xu Ran successfully countered Baldy.
That’s the picture they hoped to see!
As soon as junior sister asked.
Only to see.
In the Dueling Arena.
The intact blood-colored Baldy was sliced apart, with the body dividing left and right, sliding down as blood spurted, both halves fell to the ground.
The already devastated terrain became stained red instantly.
On the ground the body’s halves, both eyes were facing Xu Ran.
The crimson glow in his eyes quickly faded.
Simultaneously.
The cleft Baldy’s body reverted to its original bronze skin as the crimson Sword Pattern disappeared, returning to its initial Rune.
Moreover.
The Blood-Red Iron Sword he held, like quicksand, slipped from his hand.
The remaining traces of blood mist in the arena faded along with the Blood-Red Iron Sword’s disappearance, as though the previously blood-stained arena never existed!
