Stormy waves and violent winds.
An individual in a small house that stood on the peak of the mountain, unmoved even in the face of disasters. This was Victor’s overall perception of this sword intent.
Mysterious, powerful, unrestrained, and wild!
Even the three-foot-long blade in the scabbard emitted waves of sword cries!
Victor knew that this was empathy!
His sword intent represented the sacrifices made and the domineering manner of daring to change the world. It was the courage to unsheath his sword even in the face of a peak nascent soul realm cultivator!
However, this sword intent on the wall surface was the determination of millions of people!
At this moment, Victor seemed to be in the midst of the monstrous waves. He sat cross-legged on the peak of the mountain, but his heart was clear and transparent. He fell into a mysterious state of enlightenment.
Even Li Shenzhi, who was far away, was attracted by Victor. He walked over and looked at Victor, his eyes full of surprise!
“This… how is this possible?”
Li Shenzhi frowned. He could not believe that after so many years, there was really someone who could empathize with the sword intent left behind by the person deemed as the Sword Immortal!
Li Shenzhi knew that Victor was at a critical moment, so after a moment of thought, he turned around and left while transmitting his voice to Jian Haomiao.
Not long after, Jian Haomiao leisurely rushed over. Looking at the livid Li Shenzhi, he chuckled and said, “What happened? Why do you have such an expression?”
“Patriarch, about my martial uncle, what’s his background?”
“What background? Let me think, an ordinary person from a humble background?”
Jian Haomiao’s words were quite appropriate, but in Li Shenzhi’s ears, it was a form of humblebragging.
“Patriarch, don’t joke around. How could an ordinary person empathize with the sword intent left behind by Sword Immortal Li?”
“Sigh, he really is an ordinary person. Even if he empathizes with junior brother’s sword intent…”
Before he could finish, Jian Haomiao’s expression changed from disdain to confusion, and finally to shock. He grabbed Li Shenzhi’s shoulder and asked, “Are you sure? That brat empathized with junior brother’s sword intent?”
“Could it be that the patriarch doesn’t believe in me? Although I haven’t formed my sword intent, I can still distinguish such a small matter.”
Li Shenzhi nodded his head with absolute certainty and immediately brought Jian Haomiao to the deepest part of the stone chamber.
There, the two of them saw Victor, who was standing with his sword in hand. His eyes glowed as he stared into the sword intent on the wall.
“Brat! Come over here!”
“Yo? Old man, why are you here?”
Victor waved his hand and quickly ran to Jian Haomiao’s side.
“Brat, Li Shenzhi said that you’ve empathized with this sword intent just now?”
“More or less, I did gain some insights.”
“Brat, don’t joke around! Even for me, I can only know a little about this sword intent. You said you empathized with it, do you have evidence?”
Jian Haomiao seemed to be particularly surprised. He grabbed onto Victor’s sleeve and insisted the latter to prove it to him.
“Isn’t this simple? Won’t you understand once I perform a sword strike?”
As he spoke, Victor slapped the scabbard of his sword. The Rose Sword flew out and fused itself into Victor’s hand.
“This sword intent, hmm… is very powerful. It carries the power of the commoners and the will to crush everything in its path. He is indeed worthy of being called the Sword Immortal.
“However, it’s too lonely.”
Victor buried his head and smiled bitterly. He turned around and looked at the sword intent on the stone wall. He lightly flicked the body of the sword, letting out a clanging sword sound. He continued, “Fighting against the power of heaven and earth and the general trend of the mortal world with one’s own strength, even if it is unparalleled.
“It’s too lonely.
“Since you want to be empathized with, I will slash out a sword intent to empathize with you. It can also be considered as a part of life!”
With that said, Victor closed his eyes tightly and redrew his aura.
In the next moment! The three-foot-long blade suddenly erupted with an imposing aura that was similar to a rainbow piercing through the sun. It was a determination that represented its willingness to die in glory rather than living a dishonored life!
Clang!
A loud clang sounded in the world. On the originally hard stone wall, a new sword intent was present!
Seeing this scene, Jian Haomiao was completely stunned. He stared blankly at Victor’s back as if that stunning junior brother of his had returned!
It was Victor’s voice that broke the silence.
“Old man, how is it?”
Victor turned around, only to find that Jian Haomiao was silent. Two lines of clear tears escaped from his turbid old eyes.
“Finally… finally! Junior brother, finally, you don’t have to be so lonely anymore…”
Jian Haomiao cried tears of joy. He looked at the sword intent left behind by Victor on the stone wall in a daze, burying his head and sighing.
Jian Haomiao had wanted to leave his sword intent on the stone wall more than once, but without exception, all of them failed. He had also thought about the reason. Maybe his nurtured sword intent was not ready yet, or maybe his sword heart is unstable.
Today, Jian Haomiao finally understood why. It was because of him, who was not worthy enough!
Although he had cultivated to the soul formation realm, he was still the same stupid child who used this peach wood sword. His cultivation had changed, but his heart remained.
Therefore, he did not have the qualifications to leave behind his sword intent.
However, Victor was different. What he carried on his back was the hope of the entire Eastern Plains. It was an entrustment from senior Feng Jiu, a promise with Gongye Yuyu, and the ambition to revive the Eastern Plains!
Only through huge amounts of sacrifices could he dare to change the sky!
Thinking of this, Jian Haomiao turned around and seriously patted Victor’s shoulder. He laughed and said, “Kid, you’re actually not bad.”
“Speaking of this matter, Li Shenzhi… Oh right, come, Let’s fight. I want to see how strong the killer move left behind by that Sword Immortal is.”
Victor did not notice the change in Jian Haomiao’s expression. He slapped away Jian Haomiao’s hand and turned to look at Li Shenzhi.
“This… Martial uncle, this is against the rules.”
“What’s against the rules?”
“You’re an elder, I can’t attack you.”
Li Shenzhi shook his head stubbornly. No matter what, he was unwilling to fight Victor.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Jian Haomiao gave Li Shenzhi a reason which made him have no choice but to attack.
“Shenzhi, in this year’s Prodigy Tournament, I’ve decided to choose one of you to participate. If you win against him, you’ll go. Haven’t you always wanted to try Bai Tianjiao’s Taixu Sword? If you win, you’ll have this opportunity.”
“This…”
Li Shenzhi looked at Jian Haomiao with a hesitant expression.
“Hey, you’re a man. Isn’t it annoying to strictly obey by the rules every day? Aren’t you bored? As a sword cultivator, you should have spiritual energy. However, look at you, you’re so lifeless. How can you cultivate a sword intent?”
Victor mocked him indifferently and continued, “No matter how strong Sword Immortal Li’s sword moves are, they can’t be stronger than his sword intent. Don’t you understand such a simple principle?”
“Martial uncle is right. In that case, martial uncle, please give me some advice.”
After listening to Victor’s words, Li Shenzhi’s face turned red, but he did not know how to refute him. He could only nod and accept the battle.
“That’s more like it. If there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you to a friend. Well, he’s a saber cultivator. However, the path of martial arts is the same.. You can learn about that person’s lawless aura.”
