Chapter 359: Sword Intent Transformation
Along with Dongfang Bo, many disciples are also puzzled.
Despite the Seeking-Tao Sect having a hundred Mirage spots, there are only ninety-nine people on the square, one person short!
"Who’s missing?"
"I don’t know, but if one person is missing, shouldn’t the Sect Masters notice?"
"The missing person should be Jiang Yun!"
When he heard the disciples talking, Fang Yuxuan at the front of the square showed a slight smirk on his face.
Jiang Yun might not show up now, and there’s a high chance he might never show up!
As everyone waited, the sky gradually lit up, and the eight rays of light in the sky became clearer and brighter, with ripples beginning to appear.
Obviously, it won’t be long before the ninth ray of light appears!
At the peak of Hidden Peak, Dao Tianyou looked towards Fence Tao Peak with a hint of anxiety on his face and said, "Gu Bulao, Mirage is about to open soon. Will Jiang Yun really come out?"
Gu Bulao kept his eyes closed and without looking up, said, "Why are you asking me? Who should I ask?"
"Are you really going to let him miss this Mirage?"
Dao Tianyou became anxious and said, "You know, this might be the last time Mirage appears in this Mountain-Sea World. And if Jiang Yun doesn’t enter Mirage, with just Fang Yuxuan and his people, they won’t stand a chance against other sects."
"If they can’t bring back enough luck for the sect, then our Seeking-Tao Sect is done for!"
Gu Bulao suddenly smirked and said, "It’s your problem, not mine. Just make sure you don’t fail!"
"You!"
Although Dao Tianyou wanted to shout in anger, he knew that Gu Bulao was telling the truth.
As a Tao Guardian, Gu Bulao’s only duty was to protect himself.
And the chances of dying in this Mountain-Sea World were very low for him!
But if Jiang Yun didn’t enter the Mirage, it would be a huge loss for the Seeking-Tao Sect, and not a good thing for himself either.
Dao Tianyou persisted, saying, "How about I release Jiang Yun first, and then when he returns from the Mirage, I’ll send him back to the Sword Cave?"
Gu Bulao’s smile faded, his expression serious as he said, "Dao Tianyou, even though I am your Tao Guardian, I am also Jiang Yun’s master. If you dare to let him out now, I…"
Gu Bulao stopped mid-sentence, suddenly opening his eyes.
Just like Dao Tianyou, I turned my gaze towards Fence Tao Peak and muttered, "Looks like this kid is about to come out!"
。。。
Inside Sword Cave, Jiang Yun sat with his eyes closed in a safe spot, with the Thunder Sword placed flat on his lap.
The thousands of treasure swords were still surrounding him.
Although the swords were still shining brightly, they were no longer releasing any sword energy, just floating silently in the air.
From a distance, it looked like a still picture.
One person facing thousands of treasure swords!
At that moment, Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes, with two cold lights shooting out.
Just like the sword light, his eyes were in opposition to the sword light emitted by the thousands of treasure swords around him, and he was not at a disadvantage!
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
All the swords felt the cold light in Jiang Yun’s eyes, and they all vibrated together once again.
In this month, they had fought with Jiang Yun thousands of times, so they were not surprised at the scene before them, knowing that Jiang Yun was about to attack again!
Following that, Jiang Yun gripped the Thunder Sword on his knee, stood up slowly, and said to the thousands of swords, "After battling with you for a month, today, we should be able to determine a winner!"
As Jiang Yun took a step forward, he swung his sword flatly in his hand!
Suddenly, a powerful aura rose from the Thunder Sword and his body, turning into a blue ribbon like the Milky Way, rushing towards the surrounding thousands of swords!
Just this aura alone was extremely dominating. The moment it appeared, the surrounding thousands of swords not only emitted a dull sound of sword humming but also retreated backwards in unison.
Even the originally empty cave entrance revealed countless intersecting sword auras once again.
The blue ribbon carried a terrifying force, like a tornado, wrapped around all the swords, attempting to forcibly sweep them away.
However, a snake-shaped sword seemed to resist the blue ribbon. Despite being in a strong wind, it still swung fiercely and released a snake-like sword energy, aiming to pierce through the blue ribbon and attack Jiang Yun.
Behind the snake-shaped sword, more swords were inspired and began to struggle, each leaving different traces in the air, gathering sword energy for a counterattack.
"Great!"
Faced with the counterattack from hundreds of swords, Jiang Yun’s eyes shone brighter as he swung his Thunder Sword again in the air.
With a sharp sound, a crack appeared on the Thunder Sword’s blade.
This sudden change made Jiang Yun’s eyes flash with cold light. He threw the Thunder Sword away and let out a long roar.
Amidst the roar, he pointed his finger like a sword towards the hundreds of swords attacking him, and thrust forward.
This thrust had no visible sword energy or dazzling light, not even a sound of wind.
However, there was an extremely sharp aura, carrying an unstoppable force.
Sword Intent!
As Jiang Yun pointed his finger, the previously lively Ten Thousand Swords Cave suddenly fell silent!
In this silence, there was a continuous sound of "crackling" echoing…
Led by the Snake-shaped Sword, the hundreds of swords underneath Jiang Yun’s finger began to break apart one by one, falling heavily to the ground in two pieces.
Just like the Thunder Sword!
After a moment, Jiang Yun slowly withdrew his finger and looked towards the ground.
Though his expression was calm, his eyes revealed a hint of deep sadness.
If these swords were to be considered as people, then now on the ground lay the bodies of hundreds.
Sword corpses!
Even though these broken swords aren’t alive, during the month of sword practice, Jiang Yun came to see them as friends.
He didn’t want to harm these precious swords, but the Sword Intent he sensed was so powerful that even he couldn’t hold back.
With hands clasped in silence, Jiang Yun bowed deeply to the broken swords on the ground and those still in the air.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
As Jiang Yun bowed, the remaining over nine thousand swords unexpectedly fell back to the ground one by one, piercing into the earth.
Just like when Jiang Yun first encountered them!
Standing up straight, Jiang Yun rolled up his sleeves and gathered all the broken swords on the ground, including his own Thunder sword, into a pile.
It looked like a tomb!
After a deep look at the tomb, Jiang Yun turned and walked briskly towards the now empty hole.
At this moment, he knew deep down that the Sword Cave was the place for sword cultivators to comprehend the use of Sword Intent.
As long as he successfully understood the Sword Intent, he could leave.
Indeed, when Jiang Yun passed through the entrance, there was no trace of sword energy shooting out.
When Jiang Yun successfully left the Sword Cave and looked up at the eight rays of light appearing in the sky, a coldness rose in his eyes as he exclaimed, "Fang Yuxuan, I’m out!"
