Chapter 604: Different Sword Intent

Ye Yun held no sword and lacked Du Jianyin’s sharp aura.

Yet he resembled a sword—a massive one—descending like the Ancient Mountain of the Gods. The surrounding hundred miles seemed crushed under vast Sword Energy, leaving no escape.

“Sword intent. How can it be so heavy? How can this still be sword intent? Where’s the sharpness and agility a sword should have?”

Du Jianyin stared in disbelief. As the reincarnation of Ancient Sword Intent, he believed his grasp of the Sword Path was unmatched. His comprehension grew naturally with his cultivation, needing no effort.

His sword intent was lightning-fast, piercing the skies, capable of splitting space itself at its peak. This was his truth—the only Sword Path he acknowledged.

Yet Ye Yun now displayed a sword intent heavy as mountains, radiating divine authority that forced all other intents to kneel.

Du Jianyin’s shock deepened. He glared at the crushing sword intent above, unsure how to counter it.

“Du Jianyin,” Ye Yun’s calm voice echoed, “as Ancient Sword Intent reborn, witness my strike.”

Du Jianyin stayed silent. After moments, he lunged upward. A razor-sharp sword intent tore through space, aiming to shatter Ye Yun’s attack.

His confidence held. Born from Ancient Sword Intent, how could his beliefs waver? Speed and sharpness defined the sword—Ye Yun’s sluggish imitation couldn’t compare.

Sword intent like lightning! Fighting spirit like a rainbow!

Du Jianyin shot skyward. His strike aimed to annihilate everything.

*Whoosh!*

The blade sliced air. Ye Yun’s mountainous sword intent split in two, quivering.

Landing with hands behind his back, Du Jianyin smirked. “All show, no substance. True sword intent is swift and keen—this counterfeit crumbles easily.”

Ye Yun remained still. A flicker crossed his eyes.

The severed sword intent fused instantly into a great sword plunging downward. Ye Yun pointed. The heavenly sword’s divine weight pinned Du Jianyin’s head.

Du Jianyin scoffed. “Reform it a hundred times—I’ll break it each time!”

Another sword arc surged upward.

*BOOM!*

Overwhelming pressure smashed Du Jianyin’s chest. He staggered back, blood spraying.

“Impossible!” He choked. “Your sword intent feels solid—unbreakable!”

Though Ye Yun’s cultivation surpassed his, this was a sword intent duel! Across the Great Qin Empire—the entire continent—who could rival Du Jianyin’s blade?

Yet Ye Yun’s mountain-crushing intent dominated. Ancient Sword Intent’s heir stood baffled.

“Why?!” Du Jianyin roared.

Ye Yun answered quietly, “The Sword Path birthed all laws. Can it be confined to mere sharpness?”

Du Jianyin froze as if thunderstruck.

“Lies!” he spat. “This isn’t the Sword Path!”

Ten thousand years of understanding rejected Ye Yun’s words. Yet the crushing authority surrounding him was undeniably pure sword intent—no other laws mixed in.

But how? Before the Battle of Immortals and Demons, Ancient Sword Intent had reigned supreme—its razor edge slaughtering Devil Race hordes. The war god’s rainbow Sword Energy proved sharpness was truth.

Red light flickered in Du Jianyin’s eyes. Calming himself, he hissed, “You’ve corrupted sword intent. The true Sword Path split heaven and earth at creation—it can’t be this clumsy weight. Correct your errors, or face backlash.”

Ye Yun waved dismissively. “We share no feud. Join me in the Moon Goddess Palace’s Grand Battle of a Hundred Nations. Battle elites. Deepen your Sword Path.”

Du Jianyin paused, then nodded. “Jin Kingdom comrades shouldn’t feud. Let foreign elites hone my blade.”

Without another word, Du Jianyin vanished into Icy Mist.

Ye Yun smiled at the emptiness. “Ancient Sword Intent… I await your full awakening.”
