Supreme Dragon Soul.

Chapter 688 Luo Cheng and the Sacred Artifact! Sword Intent Clashes with Sword Intent!
"Who is this person? He's only at the late stage of the ninth level of the Awakening Meridian Realm, yet he dares to speak to Li Shaofeng like that. He's got some nerve!"

"Luo Cheng, a disciple of the Xuan Yuan Sect... Oh right, I've heard of him. This guy awakened a useless martial spirit, yet he rose to prominence at lightning speed in just two years, becoming one of the top ten inner disciples of the Xuan Yuan Sect. It's said that in a few days, he will have a final battle with Yun Tianyan, the top inner disciple of the Lie Yun Sect, in this Yunquan City!"

"Oh? I've heard of Yun Tianyan of the Lieyun Sect. He awakened a ten-star spirit martial soul and was almost on the domain rankings. He's very strong. This Luo Cheng is only at the late stage of the ninth level of the Awakening Meridian Realm. How dare he fight him to the death? Isn't that too arrogant?"

"More than that! Judging from his posture, he doesn't even seem to care about Li Shaofeng!"

"Heh heh, what a young calf not afraid of a tiger! Li Shaofeng is a genius on the Domain Ranking, a swordsman of the Sword Intent level! Even an ordinary Awakening Meridian Realm expert would find it hard to withstand a single glance from him. This Luo Cheng is courting death!"

Upon learning Luo Cheng's identity, the crowd immediately began to discuss it.

However, the vast majority of the reactions were mockery.

After all, Li Shaofeng has a reputation and ability.

Ranking forty-first on the Domain Ranking is no small feat; it's enough to overshadow all the Awakening Meridian Realm experts of the Great Yue Dynasty!
"Huh! Luo Cheng from the Xuan Yuan Sect, he's the guy from the Great Yue Dynasty who's reached the Golden Body Realm! And he's so young!"

On the second pavilion on the left, two disciples of the Blissful Sect of the Great Qi Dynasty, upon learning Luo Cheng's identity, immediately brightened up and began to scrutinize him.

"His blood is like mercury, and his essence is like a dragon! Such strong blood and energy! Even a powerful Earth-level expert is no better than this. It's truly astonishing! It seems that the secret report that he has cultivated to the Golden Body Realm is not an exaggeration."

Sitting on the right, dressed in white, with a figure as graceful as a jade tree, Chi Yunmeng gazed at Luo Cheng, her eyes like deep, dark pools, gleaming with a mysterious light. She was startled at first, then whispered:

"Previously, because he awakened a useless martial soul, the elders were worried about his aptitude and didn't choose him... Now it seems that although he awakened a useless martial soul, he is exceptionally talented in physical cultivation. At such a young age, his physique and blood energy are already incredibly strong! Among those in the Awakening Meridian Realm, he is stronger than any other body-refining genius I've ever seen before..."

Yu Qingyou, who was standing nearby, knew the other party's abilities and immediately showed a look of surprise and said:
"So powerful? Then he meets that person's needs, and this physical body is enough to serve as a sacred artifact?"

Chi Yunmeng gently shook her head: "Wanting to become a sacred artifact is not that easy. That person probably doesn't even know if this plan is feasible, otherwise they wouldn't be searching everywhere for top body-refining geniuses who have cultivated to the Golden Body Realm."

"Luo Cheng's physique and blood energy are indeed very strong, but after all, he awakened a useless martial soul, which has a huge flaw. Whether he can be used as a sacred artifact still needs to be judged by the elders. Let's wait and see..."

Haha!

A loud laugh interrupted the discussion.

Li Shaofeng, enraged, laughed coldly. He stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Luo Cheng with a sharp, oppressive gaze, and mocked:
"Who do you think you are, daring to compare yourself to me! Don't even mention you, even your Xuan Yuan Sect's top disciple Pang Yueyang, or the Great Yue Dynasty's number one Awakening Pulse Realm expert Yun Tianyan, these so-called geniuses are nothing but ants in my eyes! Your arrogance towards me is a joke, it only proves that you are a frog in a well who doesn't know the immensity of the sky and the earth!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Tiandu, the Ninth Princess, and the other members of the Great Yue Dynasty all looked rather grim.

These words, seemingly mocking Luo Cheng, actually belittled the Great Yue Dynasty, leaving them humiliated.

Li Shaofeng didn't care at all and scolded Luo Cheng:
"I'll say it again, you piece of trash have no right to be at this party! If you know what's good for you, get out right now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"is it?"

A cold glint flashed in Luo Cheng's eyes as he stepped out of the pavilion: "I'd like to see just how impolite you are!"

"Luo Cheng, don't act rashly!"

Princess Jin Yuxi exclaimed in surprise.

Jin Tiandu was trying to stop him.

"Don't worry."

Yin Li suddenly spoke, her icy tone causing the temperature in the entire pavilion to drop several degrees.

Jin Tiandu and Jin Yuxi both felt a chilling coldness.

Jin Tiandu glanced at Yin Li in surprise. He also wanted to teach Li Shaofeng a lesson, but from any perspective, this idea was almost impossible.

The other young talents also shook their heads, believing that Luo Cheng was suffering for the sake of saving face.

Leaving directly, though humiliating, wouldn't result in any real loss. Provoking Li Shaofeng like this is simply asking for trouble!
Princess Yaoguang did not stop her, but simply drank her tea quietly.

Liu Yifeng's matter was insignificant to her; a mere Awakening Pulse Realm expert was not even worth her attention.

However, this incident can serve to establish her authority, making it much easier for her to seize the Blood Fiend Crystal later.

Seeing that Luo Cheng still dared to provoke him in public, Li Shaofeng sneered disdainfully:
"You still dare to act arrogantly in front of me! Don't think you'll be as lucky as last time, with someone standing up for you!"

Luo Cheng glared at him: "Enough with the nonsense! You didn't just rely on your mouth to get to number forty-one on the domain ranking, did you?"

Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures present were shocked. They knew that the other party was ranked forty-first on the Domain Ranking, yet he still dared to be so arrogant. This was too foolish and arrogant!

"Hmph! Just because of those words, you're not leaving here standing today! Kneel down!!"

Li Shaofeng was also truly enraged. He roared, his vital energy surged, his pupils shrank, and the light in his eyes became almost tangible, transforming into a burst of illusory sword energy that locked onto Luo Cheng.

Chi!

The void cracked open, and a sword aura, seemingly real yet illusory, appeared out of nowhere, tearing through the stagnant air and opening up a pitch-black vacuum passage!

Crack!
The illusory sword energy surged, its unstoppable sharpness splitting a straight crack in the courtyard. The sharp energy shot out in all directions, piercing through everything in its path in an instant, creating an astonishing spectacle.

"Such powerful sword intent! No wonder you're a swordsman of the Sword Intent level! Even a casual strike is unstoppable!"

Everyone present took action, setting up energy walls on their respective pavilions to block the spread and destruction of the energy.

"Luo Cheng!"

Princess Jin Yuxi couldn't help but stand up, clenching her fists, cold sweat pouring down her face. Half of her fear was due to the powerful sword aura, and the other half was due to her worry and tension for Luo Cheng.

Jin Tiandu also looked solemn. He glanced at Yin Li, who was calm and composed beside him, and then suppressed his impulse to attack.

Gazing at the illusory sword energy raging towards them, Luo Cheng's face remained expressionless, his eyes resolute like those of a hawk, as he coldly said:

"You once slashed me with your sword, today I will return the favor!"

As the words were spoken, Luo Cheng took a step forward, unleashing his full sword intent!

hum!
Like a peerless sword being drawn from its sheath, pure and terrifying sword intent permeated the void, piercing through the air and raging like a storm. A sword shadow burst out from Luo Cheng's body, piercing through the clouds in the sky. Its extreme sharpness stung everyone's eyes!
"Sword intent manifested! No way! He's also a swordsman of the sword intent level!"

"A swordsman at the Awakening Pulse Realm with sword intent! And so young! When did the Great Yue Dynasty produce such a genius swordsman!"

A series of exclamations rang out.

"No! This doesn't seem to be a true manifestation of sword intent..."

A young swordsman frowned deeply.

This is not over yet.

boom!
Luo Cheng's body trembled, and a murderous aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood spread out. The illusory sword shadow became more solid, radiating rings of crimson light, dyeing the entire courtyard blood red. In a daze, everyone smelled a strong bloody scent!
"This! This is..."

Jin Tiandu was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

Yin Li's lips unconsciously curled up, revealing a faint smile.

"cut!"

With his sword intent pushed to its limit, Luo Cheng formed a sword with his fingers and pointed out with one finger.

call out!
The sword light, glowing with a blood-red luster, shot out at a terrifying speed, leaving a straight line of blood in the void, and struck the sword energy formed by Li Shaofeng's sword intent!
