Chapter 364: Sword of Sword Intention
In order for everyone to see clearly and for Jiang Yun to experience the power of his own sword, Fang Yuxuan deliberately slowed down the golden dragon’s approach.
I have to say, his way of doing things really worked.
Most people were amazed and deeply impressed, while Xuanyuan Xing and others looked worried.
With their keen eyesight, they could naturally see that the power contained in this sword was getting very close to the strength of a Sky Reaching Realm practitioner.
In their opinion, even though Jiang Yun had always been strong, they believed that there was still a significant gap before reaching the Sky Reaching Realm.
At this moment, seeing the shocked and admiring expressions on everyone’s faces, Fang Yuxuan finally felt proud and triumphant!
The two previous attacks were just a warm-up, this Dragon Style move was the true display of his strongest ability and his real sword.
However, Jiang Yun’s sudden words made his proud expression freeze instantly.
Not only him, but everyone present had their expressions frozen as well.
Even Dao Tianyou and Gu Bulao on the Hidden Peak showed interest, widening their eyes in curiosity.
They all wanted to see what kind of Sword Intent Jiang Yun had comprehended during his three-month stay in Sword Cave, and if it would bring a surprise to everyone!
Ignoring the expressions of the others around him, Jiang Yun continued to stare coldly at Fang Yuxuan and said, "Although I don’t understand swords, I at least know that a sword should first take shape!"
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand, but there was no sword in his hand—just his fingers forming a sword!
"*Squeak!*"
Unable to contain himself, Fang Yuxuan mocked, "Are your fingers what you call a sword form?"
Jiang Yun paid no attention to Fang Yuxuan’s mockery and continued, "Once it has a form, you can infuse it with spirit qi, releasing the sword qi!"
"*Buzz!*"
Suddenly, a Dao Spirit qi burst forth from Jiang Yun’s fingertips.
If his fingers were seen as a sword, then this Dao Spirit qi indeed looked like sword qi.
Fang Yuxuan’s mocking turned into laughter, pointing at Jiang Yun and saying, "Hahaha, well said, well done!"
"If we treat spirit qi as sword qi, then according to what you said, wouldn’t all cultivators in the world be sword cultivators and able to use swords?"
"Jiang Yun, is this what you call a real sword?"
"Nonsense! But you did get one thing right, let’s settle our scores today and wipe the slate clean!"
As he spoke, Fang Yuxuan raised his finger into the air again.
The golden dragon, which was initially flying slowly towards Jiang Yun, suddenly accelerated like a streak of light heading straight for him.
Jiang Yun’s calm voice spoke, "First form, then disperse the energy, and finally, merge with Sword Intent!"
"Buzz!"
As Jiang Yun uttered the last word, he thrust his finger forward abruptly!
Under this stab, Jiang Yun’s fingertips did not emit any spirit energy, but a very sharp aura suddenly burst out.
Sword Intent!
Even if not a sword cultivator, upon feeling Jiang Yun’s aura, one could clearly know that this was also Sword Intent!
Because this Sword Intent seemed to have become more than just a state of mind, it was as if it had truly turned into a sword.
A sword that advances relentlessly, capable of shattering everything!
Just as everyone felt the same sensation in their hearts, their eyes suddenly widened once again.
Because what they saw astounded them—
In front of Jiang Yun’s fingertip thrust, in the air, a sword actually appeared!
An illusionary sword!
A sword named Sword Intention!
The Sword Intent released by Jiang Yun turned into a sword, stabbing straight at the golden dragon in front of him!
"Sword, Sword Intent Transformation!"
Wei Zhengyang, always looking satisfied, suddenly stood up at this moment, his eyes shining brightly, showing an expression of disbelief on his face.
Not just him, at this moment, everyone had the same expression, even Gu Bulao and Dao Tianyou, without exception.
Although Jiang Yun had never formally learned swordsmanship or been told how to practice it, he had a deep understanding of swords.
His understanding of swords exceeded that of most sword cultivators.
Because he learned from tens of thousands of swords!
Therefore, what he learned was the essence of swords!
Besides, his understanding of the sword is completely correct.
If we divide learning sword into several steps, then the first step is observing the sword, remembering its shape. Different shaped swords require different techniques when used.
The second step is infusing spirit qi into the sword, emitting sword aura.
The third step is controlling the sword.
The fourth step is understanding Sword Intent.
And after understanding Sword Intent, if one wants to improve their swordsmanship further, they can reach a level called Sword Intent Transformation.
Making the elusive Sword Intent take on a physical shape.
Just like when challenging Fence Tao Peak and facing the nearly ten thousand feet tall Chop-Sky Sword, every disciple will encounter various forms of Sword Intent.
Just like Jiang Yun’s black stone transformed into a golden humanoid sword intent in the water!
Even though when Fang Yuxuan used a move called Dragon Transformation, it seemed like he turned into a dragon, but in reality, he only transformed the shape of his golden sword, not turning Sword Intent into a dragon.
From this, we can see that within three months, Jiang Yun not only understood Sword Intent, but he even achieved Sword Intent Transformation.
If we ignore cultivation realm, ignore personal strength, and only talk about Jiang Yun’s skill in swordsmanship.
Then, he has surpassed Fang Yuxuan and even closely approached Wei Zhengyang!
"Roar!"
Amidst everyone’s silence, the golden dragon let out its fourth roar.
However, this time, the sound was no longer loud and clear but filled with a sense of sorrow.
If it were a real dragon, then this time, it was its cry of agony before death!
"Bang!"
Jiang Yun’s Sword of Sword Intention accurately pierced the dragon’s forehead and disappeared without a trace.
The dragon had no resistance at all, its body instantly covered in countless cracks before bursting open.
It turned into countless tiny specks of gold dust, falling to the ground in a shower, landing on the stunned Fang Yuxuan who sat down in shock.
More than three years ago, Fang Yuxuan and Jiang Yun had a battle.
Even though in that battle, Jiang Yun used the Stand-in Charm given to him by Situ Jing to take Fang Yuxuan away with a Sword Intent.
In terms of true strength, at that time, Fang Yuxuan could have easily defeated Jiang Yun, like squashing an ant.
However, in their second battle today, the final result was still a complete defeat by a Sword Intent.
The Sword Intent in this battle came from Jiang Yun’s own understanding, belonging solely to him, a Sword Intent that Fang Yuxuan could not resist.
Fang Yuxuan, was defeated!
And he lost completely, so much so that he couldn’t even find an excuse to save face.
As for the others, no one could say a word.
Even those who had confidence in Jiang Yun, thinking he might eventually defeat Fang Yuxuan, were now in great shock.
Because they never expected Jiang Yun not only to win, but to do so easily and confidently.
So dignified.
No conspiracies, no tricks, just swords clashing!
With just three strikes, Fang Yuxuan, usually seen as the top inner disciple, was defeated!
