Supreme Dragon Soul.

Chapter 675 It's almost here! What goes around comes around!

The giant water sword held out for two breaths before the sword intent it contained reached its limit.

Wow!
The moment the sword intent dissipated, the giant water sword shattered, and a massive amount of river water poured down, creating two towering waves tens of meters high on the river surface.

Yin Li was cultivating to the side when she opened her eyes and saw this scene. Her eyes flashed.

"Before I've even grasped the essence of swordsmanship, it's already become tangible..."

Yin Li was deeply shocked, like the surging tide in a river.

Although she is not a swordsman, it doesn't mean she doesn't understand the essence of swordsmanship.

The reason why swordsmen at the Sword Intent level are so terrifying is that their sword intent has reached the level of turning the illusory into the real, and they can use intangible things to hurt people.

For example, they can imbue a wisp of air or a blade of grass with sword intent, instantly giving these inconspicuous things extraordinary destructive power. Even a glance can take a life, killing people invisibly!

What Luo Cheng just did was to imbue the water with his sword intent, causing the water to burst forth with a sharp edge.

Although the giant water sword could only last for two breaths due to insufficient cultivation level, it was soon annihilated.

This is already quite astonishing!

Yin Li had never heard of any other quasi-sword intent swordsman who could materialize sword intent.

Before sword intent reaches the level of transforming the illusory into the real, once it leaves the swordsman, it is like a rootless duckweed, which will immediately dissipate and vanish. The difficulty of making it substantial is unimaginable!

"Could it be because of his powerful soul force?"

Yin Li made a guess.

Sword intent is closely related to the swordsman's soul; the stronger the soul power, the greater the power of the sword intent.

Luo Cheng is only at the Awakening Meridian Realm, yet his soul power is comparable to that of a True Person level expert! This in itself is an extraordinary miracle.

It's not surprising that Luo Cheng's sword intent was unusual.

Thinking of this, Yin Li couldn't help but look forward to the moment when Luo Cheng achieved the Sword Intent level of Sword Intent.

She was eager to see just how powerful Luo Cheng would be when he truly grasped the sword intent, given his soul power and the strength of his killing intent!

Calming his emotions, Yin Li stood up and walked towards Luo Cheng, saying, "It seems you are not far from comprehending the true essence of swordsmanship."

Luo Cheng smiled slightly and nodded, "It should be soon. However, to truly break through, we still need a catalyst and a stroke of luck."

Luo Cheng's gains from that battle against the burly middle-aged man were extraordinary.

In particular, his sword intent underwent a qualitative change, allowing him to almost sense the existence of true sword intent.

Sword intent is like a stunning beauty wearing a hazy veil; once the veil is lifted, its true face will be revealed!
However, when Luo Cheng tried to lift the veil, he found nothing, as if everything was an illusion, like looking at flowers in a mirror or trying to catch the moon's reflection in water.

Luo Cheng was not in a hurry about this.

Although the imagery of flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water is illusory, without real flowers and the moon, how can there be such a thing as the imagery of flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water?

He has grown too fast during this period and needs time to digest and settle down. When the time comes, his sword intent will naturally shed its mysterious veil.

Looking at Luo Cheng's calm, faint smile, Yin Li's beautiful eyes flickered.

Faced with the temptation of becoming a swordsman of the sword intent level, many people can't help but get impatient, including those who have been famous for a long time.

However, sword intent is inherently ethereal and cannot be obtained by force. The more impatient one is, the harder it is to comprehend. Some people even go astray and become possessed by evil spirits because they are eager for quick success and instant benefits and seek shortcuts.

Yin Li could not sense the slightest impatience from Luo Cheng.

Beneath that calm and collected demeanor lay extreme confidence, as if comprehending true sword intent was merely a matter of course for him. This surprised Yin Li, yet also filled him with uncontrollable admiration.

Putting aside talent, her transcendent state of mind alone makes her one of the most outstanding geniuses she has ever seen!
"How is your injury recovering? Is it nothing serious?" Yin Li asked.

"Yes, it has recovered about 70-80%."

Luo Cheng's injuries were not light; after the fierce battle with the burly middle-aged man, he had suffered a significant loss of vital energy and blood.

However, with the Blood Essence Pearl, a spiritual object that nourishes blood and flesh, and his strong physique, his blood and qi recover very quickly. It is estimated that he will be able to return to his peak condition in another day or two.

Yin Li was somewhat surprised by Luo Cheng's recovery speed, but did not press for details.

Luo Cheng has surprised her too many times these days, and she can't keep up with all the questions she asks.

"I need to return to the Falling Clouds Sect to discuss the Blood Nether Sect matter with the Supreme Elder. What are your plans next?"

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go to Yunquan City."

"Yunquan City? To keep the battle agreement with Yun Tianyan?"

Yin Li's eyes flashed as she recalled Yun Tianyan's plan to fight Luo Cheng to the death in Yunquan City.

The two agreed to a final showdown in half a month, and now almost ten days have passed.

Luo Cheng nodded. "Since he wants to fight, I will gladly oblige. Otherwise, others will think I'm afraid of him."

By now, Luo Cheng no longer takes Yun Tianyan, the so-called number one inner disciple of the three sects, seriously.

Anyway, it's not far from Yunquan City, so there's no harm in taking a trip there.

After dealing with Yun Tianyan, we'll return to the sect to settle accounts with Jin Min!
Yin Li suddenly said, "You should go to this battle. Moreover, you should win it in a spectacular fashion."

"why?"

Luo Cheng was quite surprised, because in his mind, Yin Li was not a warlike person.

Instead of answering, Yin Li asked, "I heard that you recently became a disciple of the Supreme Elder and became a disciple of the Supreme Elder of your Xuan Yuan Sect?"

"Ah."

Yin Li smiled faintly, a smile as pleasing to the eye as the snow melting in early spring, and said:
"Yun Tianyan is also a disciple personally taught by the Supreme Elder of the Lieyun Sect, and he is a disciple of the Liehuo Zhenren of the Lieyun Sect. Xu Daoyan, the top of the ten true disciples of the Lieyun Sect, is his fellow disciple. Do you know who this Xu Daoyan is?"

Yin Li, unusually reserved, saw that Luo Cheng didn't know and quickly said:

"Ten years ago, your master, True Person Mingzong, took in a personal disciple. This person was exceptionally talented, standing out among the disciples of the three sects of his generation, and was unparalleled in his prowess. Unfortunately, he died tragically in a life-or-death battle with the disciples of the Lieyun Sect. The one who killed him was none other than Xu Daoyan!"

Luo Cheng's eyes flashed; he had heard about this before!
It was because of this incident that Master Mingzong, the Supreme Elder, remained in seclusion and never accepted any more disciples.

"Heh! What goes around comes around! What a coincidence!" Luo Cheng let out a cold laugh.

"This is not just a simple coincidence."

Yin Li gently shook his head and said, "You should be aware of the grudges between your Xuan Yuan Sect and the Lie Yun Sect. Over the years, many of the geniuses who have emerged from your Xuan Yuan Sect have suddenly perished or died violently, and many of these deaths are related to the Lie Yun Sect."

Luo Cheng frowned and said, "Are you saying that my senior brother was framed by the Lieyun Sect and that's why he died?"

"Not entirely. Your senior brother was too young and impetuous at the time, blindly arrogant. His cultivation was a whole realm lower than Xu Daoyan's. He was provoked by Xu Daoyan's few words and agreed to a life-or-death duel, ultimately dying a tragic death."

"However, this is most likely at the behest of the higher-ups of the Lieyun Sect. It's nothing new for your two sects to stifle each other's up-and-coming geniuses before they've fully matured. It's just that such things are shady and usually not done too obviously. They only target the most outstanding geniuses."

At this point, Yin Li suddenly looked at Luo Cheng and said:
"If you hadn't awakened a useless martial soul, based on your performance in the Three Sects Tournament, you would definitely be on the Lieyun Sect's kill list by now, and it wouldn't have been so easy..."
