The Transmigrator's Cultivation - Chapter 234

Translator: Lynn

The voice are heard first, followed by a surge of determination that reaches deep into the heart.

Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie stowed away their respective techniques and supernatural powers, spreading their spells by their sides. They then turned their heads to guard against the approaching individual.

In the blink of an eye, the man had arrived.

Secretly observing him, Xu Ziqing noted that this person was enveloped in sword energy without any attempt at concealment. His aura was so sharp that it seemed to pierce the sky, shaking heaven and earth.

This man’s sword intent was extremely cold, bearing some similarities to his senior brother’s perception.

So he couldn’t help but wonder: Could it be that all sword cultivators who have realized the sword intent are like this?

But in the next moment, Xu Ziqing felt that this was not the case.

It turned out that after this person arrived, he flicked his fingers, and invisible energy burst forth, carrying a feeling of frost and snow in its whistling. The sword’s intent wasn’t invisible all the time; once pointed out, it gradually produced a feeling of ice white.

In the blink of an eye, several two-horned beasts below were frozen, resembling lifelike ice sculptures. Suddenly, they burst open with a crisp sound, turning into a pile of ice chips.

This scene was both cold and magnificent, exuding an indescribable beauty of frost!

Xu Ziqing instantly understood that this person’s sword intent was indeed extremely cold, but it was not the same as his senior brother’s intensely cold killing intent.

His brother’s killing intent was a kind of aura that induced fear from the bottom of people’s hearts, manifesting from the inside to the outside, causing all things to freeze. The primary focus was on killing, with coldness as a secondary aspect.

But this person’s sword intent was the sword of ice and snow, directly displayed on the outside, having nothing to do with internal causes. This kind of sword intent was primarily focused on coldness, with killing as a secondary aspect. It could kill because of the extreme cold.

Yun Lie stood opposite the man, with sword intent in every step and an aura of domineering power throughout his body. It’s just that one person wore white clothes and the other wore black, creating a sense of rivalry.

Xu Ziqing knew that his senior brother was also somewhat interested in the visitor—or more precisely, he was somewhat interested in the visitor’s sword intent.

The black young man looked indifferent and said, “You have consumed a lot of true energy so that I won’t compete with you in supernatural powers, only in sword intent. I just want to see how your sword intent compares to mine, and we’ll decide the outcome based on the number of beasts we can kill. How about it?”

Although the sword’s intent needs to be driven by true energy, it is relatively inexpensive. It often sounds frightening because even with just one layer of sword cultivation and true energy remaining, it can easily be activated to kill the enemy.

Yun Lie remained unmoved, nodding slightly, and said, “Okay.” As soon as he said this, he glanced at the person beside him again and said, “Ziqing, you should stay away and protect your heart.”

When Xu Ziqing heard it, did his shixiong understand how powerful it was? He immediately nodded. “Yes, Shixiong.”

After finishing speaking, his figure flickered, and he was already hundreds of feet away.

Not only Xu Ziqing was like this, but Yun Lie and the young man in black were also positioned at a distance. Even the cultivators watched, scattered with wary eyes. Although their cultivation bases were not bad, they were unwilling to witness the impending clash between two formidable sword cultivators, fearing the potential repercussions on their lives.

Otherwise, they might find themselves in a catastrophe, and their own lives would be at stake!

The battlefield lay empty, with only the multitude of beasts below still crowded together. Unconcerned about the promises and calculations between the cultivators, they unleashed blood and poison, aiming to drag down those airborne cultivators they despised, indulging in their hearts’ desire to kill and vent their malice.

Yun Lie and the young man in the black shirt swayed, and in an instant, they had each claimed one side of the battlefield.

Then, a thunderous noise echoed:

“Boom!”

Two exceedingly sharp, invisible artistic conceptions slashed down, creating an instant upheaval. A stormy sea surged, carrying boundless killing intent and cold snow, resembling a tempest mixed with irresistible and potent thoughts that suddenly erupted!

In a flash, countless beasts froze, stiffening into extreme rigidity.

From the east, killing intent swept through, and a thin layer of cold frost suddenly condensed on the bodies of many beasts. Then, as if twisted by an unseen force, it burst open, releasing thick, scarlet blood.

It was a beauty that annihilated everything, stirring the soul and leaving onlookers dazzled and entranced.

On the west side, the landscape transformed into a realm of ice and snow, saturated with ferocious killing intent. It coalesced into myriad icicles, transforming into countless sharp swords that moved freely. Numerous wild beasts appeared as though covered in heavy snow, their bodies turning white. When pierced by the sharp swords, not a drop of blood flowed.

It was like the world had been carved from ice and jade, and everything was bathed in frost and snow.

The collision of the two sword intents seemed to repel each other. They clashed with the endless killing intent and the wild beasts, casting a peculiar field over the beasts within a one-mile radius.

In this field, groups of wild beasts fell while others surged forward, seemingly inexhaustible in their onslaught.

“Xi Lin was correct,” someone remarked lightly. “Indeed, it’s the third level of Sword Intent.”

Xu Ziqing was shocked; there was someone nearby! Upon hearing the words, he turned his head to see a red cloud about a foot away.

Several men stood on the cloud, and the leader in silver had spoken earlier.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ziqing was secretly vigilant but slightly relieved. The voice had been close, making him think someone was nearby unnoticed. However, it appeared that the person possessed profound cultivation, spreading words from a considerable distance. Yet, the young man exuded an extremely noble temperament. Why would he let Xu Ziqing hear such a statement?

As he pondered the other party’s intentions, the young man spoke again, “I don’t know the relationship between the little brother and the man in the east.”

Xu Ziqing was startled and replied, “That is my senior brother.”

The silver-clothed youth smiled and said, “It’s a coincidence; the people in the west are friends of mine. If you don’t mind, little brother, why don’t you come over and have a talk?”

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Ziqing responded, “Alright, then it’s better to be respectful than to defy.”

He quickly checked the realm of those people, realizing they didn’t exert the formidable pressure of a Nascent Soul Stage Daoist. While stronger than him, they all had Golden Core Stage cultivation bases.

Confident that Rongjin was under control, Xu Ziqing harbored no fear. He considered that if the other party made any untoward moves, being closer would bolster Rongjin’s confidence when intervening. Since his senior brother was engaged in combat, he had to be more cautious, avoiding falling into traps set by others that might burden his senior brother.

While pondering this, Xu Ziqing’s movements were swift, bringing him in front of the silver-clothed youth in no time.

Beside the silver-clothed young man, a handsome man waved his sleeve, dispersing the thin layer of mist in front of the red cloud, allowing him to step onto the red cloud.

Coming to a stop, Xu Ziqing respectfully cupped his hands, saying, “Greetings, seniors.”

The silver-clothed youth smiled. Although a natural arrogance graced his brows and eyes, he spoke kindly, “There is no need to be too polite. I don’t know, little brother, what is your name?”

Xu Ziqing maintained a solemn expression, stating, “Xu Ziqing, a member of the younger generation, is here to accompany my shixiong.”

The silver-clothed youth ceased inquiries and simply smiled, saying, “Since we’ve met, it’s fate. My brother is a sword enthusiast and was moved by the chance to meet your Shixiong. Hence, he impulsively invited him to a competition. I hope Brother Xu and your Shixiong won’t take offense.”

Witnessing the courtesy of the other party, Xu Ziqing smiled gently, responding, “Shixiong is amidst a battle, contemplating it, he also possesses the will to fight. Senior, there’s no need to worry.”

The silver-clothed youth raised his brows slightly and fell silent.

On the other side, the two sword cultivators took action.

Xi Lin, the black-clothed youth, acted first. When he raised his arm, the intense sword pressure enveloping him suddenly dissipated, and the ice and snow below appeared to melt instantly, returning to its original state. He then executed a sword technique, saying, “Duh.”

A subtle chill spread downward like the wind, extending in an instant.

The ferocious beasts enveloped by this chill underwent a sudden change in their aura.

Simultaneously, Yun Lie also gestured, creating a sword field.

The wild beasts within this sword field also underwent an immediate transformation.

Almost simultaneously, the beasts on both sides began attacking each other!

Their eyes gleamed with a more intense scarlet hue, exuding an extremely violent light. They seemed to perceive the other wild beasts around them as enemies, spitting venom and biting with horns, sharp claws, and fangs. Some even crushed and devoured their opponents alive.

In just a moment, the scent of blood emanating from below became several times stronger, even ten times stronger than when the two sword cultivators were killed with sword intent moments ago!

The golden light in Yun Lie’s eyes intensified.

In Xi Lin’s black-clothed eyes, two clusters of white radiance emitted a dazzling light.

Both of them were channeling sword intent, a derived ability of the first level of sword intent.

This power could confuse the targeted individual, inducing hallucinations similar to those experienced by wild beasts. Not only did they perceive other wild beasts as humans, but they also lost touch with reality, amplifying their already ferocious and cruel temperament.

This was the reason behind the brutal nature of the ongoing fight.

Amidst the carnage, one side gradually gained the upper hand.

However, something even more peculiar unfolded.

Just as one of the beasts, previously biting both sides, was killed, the other beast that had bitten its throat burst open and collapsed.

From that moment on, it was as if a checkpoint had been unlocked. Every time one side suffered casualties, the other side also perished simultaneously. Headshots occurred with unwavering consistency.

This marked the second level of sword intent, shaking the soul and shattering wisdom.

The more profound the sword cultivator and the higher their cultivation base, the easier it becomes to shatter the opponent’s sea of consciousness with sword intent. Once the sea of consciousness is destroyed, the soul within it is completely obliterated.

Just like these beasts, their heads exploded, leading to instantaneous death!

Yun Lie and Xi Lin, the two sword cultivators who have mastered the sword intent, continuously employed the techniques of the three realms of sword intent, engaging in a back-and-forth battle without conceding to each other.

There appears to be no distinction between Xuan and Jin; they are evenly matched.

At this moment, Xi Lin suddenly remarked, “I’ve used all my means. I wonder if you have other techniques to show me?”

Having realized the three realms of sword intent, Xi Lin had never encountered an opponent on this path before. Now, he realized that this white-clothed swordsman seemed to emanate a stronger sword pressure, prompting him to inquire about the extent of his opponent’s abilities.

Having witnessed these events, Xi Lin acknowledged that his initial expectations were not misplaced. However, he suspected that this person was more than what he seemed to be. Unsure of the exact situation, he wondered how far his opponent had progressed.

Below, the ferocious beasts continued to die one after another, and the blood from the broken corpses formed a gruesome scene resembling hell.

While the tide of beasts persisted in many other areas, the land enveloped in sword energy had fewer wild beasts.

At this moment, Yun Lie cloaked himself in murderous intent and uttered in a cold tone, “As you wish.”

With that, a golden light flickered between his brows, and his five fingers suddenly contracted!
