Chapter 693 - Comprehending Sword Intent by Looking at the Sword Mark

“It’s Zhu Hang, why is he here?”

“The Trading Alliance has always been interested in the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault . I would be surprised if they weren’t intrigued by the rare occurrence . ”

“Hehe, it would be interesting if Duan Qing were here too . ”

The crowd began to whisper among themselves .

Everyone knew that Zhu Hang had suffered a great deal at the hands of Duan Qing in the Crimson Blood Ocean .

Zhu Hang’s gloomy expression darkened instantly hearing the words, as if he were going to explode at any time .

“Shut your mouths up!”

A blasting roar like a clap of thunder could be heard .

Qin Nan’s figure shuddered . The roar was exceptional, as it could influence one’s will . It could even destroy the minds of those with weak cultivations .

The dojo fell into a dead silence as the voice grabbed the attention of the crowd .

A young man slowly stepped into everyone’s vision with a peak Martial Highness Realm aura . However, the thing that caught the attention of the crowd the most was his eyes, each with eighteen blood dots that were arranged randomly, which resembled a formation or an abyss at times .

“Wu Hao!”

“It’s Wu Hao!”

“He’s here too!”

The crowd was stupefied . Their eyes were filled with deep respect and fear .

Even Gong Yang’s arrival had not resulted in such a huge impact to them .

“Who’s still making noise?

Wu Hao halted his movement while his eyes flickered with a crimson glow, as if it were going to burst out at any time .

The crowd immediately sensed chills running down their spines and did not dare to make a noise, as if their throats were being clenched tightly by the devil .

Wu Hao wore a satisfied expression seeing this .

He hated ants who dared to make noise in front of him the most!

“Ninth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit, peak Martial Highness Realm cultivation—no—he has reached the Undefeatable Martial Highness Realm . On top of that, his eyes possess a tremendous power . . . ” Qin Nan fully inspected Wu Hao’s strength with a quick glance .

Wu Hao’s force of the Martial Highness Realm had exceeded nine hundred and ninety-nine streams and had reached the one thousandth mark .

Such a cultivator was referred to as an Undefeatable Martial Highness .

Even Gong Yang had yet to reach this stage .

“Oh? Junior Brother Yang Gong, you’re here too? How fascinating!” Wu Hao looked around and detected Gong Yang’s presence . His lip curled upward as if he had found his prey .

“Greetings, Senior Brother Wu!”

Gong Yang’s eyes flickered coldly as he brought his hands together .

He was ranked last among the five core disciples of the Dao-Seeking Mountain . Meanwhile, Wu Hao was ranked fourth . Due to Gong Yang’s rapid growth over the past two years, Wu Hao felt threatened, thus he had been picking on Gong Yang whenever he had the chance .

From the short exchange of words, Qin Nan could easily tell that these two were definitely not friendly to each other .

“Junior Brother Yang Gong, are you here for the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault too? Mm? Who’s this?”

Wu Hao finally took notice of Qin Nan who was standing beside Gong Yang . He quickly glanced at him and immediately lost interest after discovering his cultivation to be only at the eighth-layer Martial Highness Realm .

He had assumed Gong Yang’s friend would be a peerless genius too .

“Just a friend . ” Gong Yang calmly said .

At that instant, the Blind Swordsman suddenly spoke, “The geniuses have arrived, so let’s move on to the trial . It will be quite different this time, as only one person among you all will enter the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault in the end!”

The words stunned the crowd .

They had not expected that the Blind Swordsman would only allow one person to enter the Treasure Vault . Normally, more than ten people were given access in each trial .

If there was only a single spot, how would they stand a chance against geniuses like Yang Gong, Zhu Hang, and Wu Hao?

Even Gong Yang wore a troubled look .

For once, Qin Nan had come to the Dao-Seeking Mountain to ask for his help . As his brother, he would feel disappointed of himself if he wasn’t able to successfully get Qin Nan into the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault .

Phew!

Gong Yang let out a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly .

He initially had not planned for this, but it seemed like he would have to take part in the trial too . After all, Wu Hao and Zhu Hang posed a great threat to Qin Nan . If he ended up coming first in the trial, he would give the chance to enter the Treasure Vault to Qin Nan instead .

“Senior, what are the rules?”

Both Wu Hao and Zhu Hang wore stern faces .

Even though Wu Hao looked down on Gong Yang, he could not help but admit that Gong Yang was worthy enough to be treated seriously .

“The rules are simple,” The Blind Swordsman then added as a sudden thought crossed his mind, “Before explaining the rules, I would like to remind you all that after the trial, no one will be allowed to enter the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault even if you’ve gotten approval from Progenitor Wen Dao himself . You will have to wait until the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault is officially opened three months later . ”

The words further astonished the crowd .

The Dao-Seeking Mountain was clueless about how to acquire the secrets of the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault . Hence, they had decided to let the outsiders enter the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault by passing the trial or finishing missions assigned to them . Who knew? Someone might be able to activate the Dao-Seeking Mountain .

Most importantly, the crowd was there to check out the rare occurrence of the Dao-Seeking Mountain . They would definitely lose the chance if they had to wait until it was opened again three months later .

“Now, for the rules, you will need to comprehend the intent hidden inside a sword mark . The first one to do so will be declared the winner . If more than one person comprehends it simultaneously, the results will be compared . ”

The Blind Swordsman ignored the gaze of the crowd and slashed the ground with a single swipe of his finger .

BANG!

A shocking sword intent was unleashed, slashing the dojo in half . The terrifying sword intent marked the dojo like a seal with a tremendous power .

The crowd was dumbfounded .

The sword intent could easily destroy their lives .

“Comprehending the sword intent from the mark…”

Qin Nan’s eyes glittered .

He was in luck, as the contents of the trial was definitely his strength!

“The trial begins now!”

The Blind Swordsman withdrew his aura after saying this .

However, little did the crowd know that his eyelids slightly shuddered as if he were eager to open his eyes to observe the geniuses before him .

“It’s been thousands of years . Will the person finally appear…”

The Blind Swordsman mumbled in his heart and his skinny hand tightened its grip slightly .
