Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 249 Zheng Xuanyan

Sword intent is a very special existence.

It's neither a martial arts technique nor a magical technique.

It is a special artistic conception.

A state of mind that only sword practitioners can comprehend.

For a sword practitioner who has realized the sword intent, his sword moves will become incredibly powerful due to the sublimation of sword intent, possessing unimaginable power, even beyond the realm.

Just like what Ning Fa had just experienced, conventional defensive magic weapons all collapsed under the sword moves that only had the basics of sword intent.

The sword intent has nothing to do with realm, it depends solely on the sword practitioner's sword talent and his own understanding of the sword.

It is something that can only be understood but not expressed in words. It cannot be taught and can only be felt by oneself.

It is very likely that a sword cultivator who has advanced to the Golden Core stage or even the Nascent Soul stage cannot sense the existence of sword intent.

However, a sword practitioner in the foundation-building or even Qi-training stage realized the meaning of the sword.

In the world of immortal cultivation, almost all of the famous and powerful sword cultivators have realized the meaning of sword.

Therefore, he is almost invincible among the monks of the same level.

The sword intent is also divided into levels.

It is said that sword intent is divided into seven levels, and each time a sword practitioner enters a new level, his strength will skyrocket.

However, those who can comprehend the first level of sword intent are rare, let alone those who can comprehend the level after the first level.

Once one is able to comprehend the sword intent, it means that this cultivator has enormous potential in the swordsmanship and is invincible in strength among those of the same level.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t meet a freak like Ningfa.

Uncle Liang was ecstatic, "It's really a blessing for Huayu Sect! There are only a few sword cultivators in our Jiang Kingdom who can comprehend the sword intent, and almost all of them are gathered in the Giant Sword Fort. Although this sect has the least number of people, it can compete with Xuanyue Sect and suppress our other three sects. Now our sect has finally produced a sword cultivator who can comprehend the sword intent!"

The people around him were equally excited.

However, one of the older and more elegant middle-aged cultivators said with regret: "Zhilong probably only realized the first level of sword intent, not the complete sword intent. It seems that he broke through in the battle under the huge pressure of Junior Brother Ning. In this case, his sword may not be able to defeat Junior Brother Ning's powerful thunder method."

This person is another cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment besides Uncle Liang. He is even at the peak of the middle stage and is about to break through the bottleneck of the late stage.

Therefore, the people around him were quite convinced and nodded one after another, with a look of regret on their faces.

Uncle Liang smiled and said, "Brother Gong's eyesight is not bad. He has comprehended the embryonic form of the sword intent, and has already crossed the most difficult hurdle. In a few years, Zhilong should be able to fully comprehend it successfully, perhaps when he builds his foundation."

After these words were spoken, the cultivator named Gong also nodded.

Then he said in a clear voice: "Should we stop this competition? Both Junior-Martial-Nephew Zhang and Junior-Martial-Nephew Ning are outstanding talents of our sect. If they are injured, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss for our sect."

Uncle Liang, however, looked hesitant and indecisive.

At this moment, the sword in front of Zhang Zhilong had taken shape, making a clear sound and flashing white light. An unimaginably sharp and powerful aura emanated from the sword.

"Buzz!"

The sword slashed out with a loud bang, releasing sword energy and light shadows several feet long with a huge momentum.

Ning Fa was also furious.

The remaining lightning source in the body, along with the spiritual power of the lightning source in the dantian, poured out.

The silver vortex in front of him also ran to its extreme, and a silver lightning that looked even more condensed than before shot out.

"boom!!"

This sword, carrying the sword intent, collided with Ning Fa's second strike of Thunder Cloud Breaker.

For a moment, the spiritual light flashed wildly, making it impossible to look directly at it.

The white sword energy and the power of thunder entangled and annihilated each other, and for a moment they were deadlocked in the air.

A surge of spiritual power even stronger than before erupted.

Counting breaths passed.

Zhang Zhilong's body trembled, his face turned red, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"boom!"

The sword intent on the flying sword in the air disappeared, and was immediately submerged by the violent power of thunder. The remaining half of the silver thunder continued to shoot towards Zhang Zhilong.

"do not want!"

Uncle Liang and the others were horrified and were about to rescue people with spiritual light flashing on their bodies.

But that's it.

A palm-sized emerald green leaf appeared out of thin air, surrounded by a wisp of green light, lightly wrapping around the silver thunder.

In Ningfa's shocked eyes.

The thundercloud broke like melting ice and snow and disappeared in the green light emitted by the green leaves.

In just a moment, the scene that was extremely intense just now suddenly became calm.

Ning Fa suddenly looked up at the sky.

I saw a huge jade flute, about ten feet long, suspended in the air, with several figures standing on it.

The man in the center was wearing a green robe, with starry eyes, sword-like brows, and an elegant demeanor. He had an indescribable otherworldly air.

This person's calm gaze contained a captivating power that made people dare not look him in the eye.

And there didn't seem to be any spiritual energy on him, just like an ordinary human being.

But Ning Fa's heart was beating like a drum. He felt a kind of palpitation from this person that made him feel depressed.

This feeling was something he had never experienced before.

This person is definitely a Jindan cultivator!
Next to this person was a handsome young man who was looking at Ning Fa and Zhang Zhilong with curiosity.

"Greetings to Uncle Master Zheng (Grandmaster)!"

The many Huayu Sect disciples who were watching, as soon as they saw the figure on the jade flute, immediately bowed respectfully.

Ning Fa, who also followed suit, was shocked. Only then did he realize that this person was the famous "Taoyin Zhenren" Zheng Xuanyan!

Zheng Xuanyan looked back and forth at Ning Fa and Zhang Zhilong with interest.

Uncle Liang flew over quickly and respectfully explained what had happened to him.

On the other side, Zhang Zhilong seemed to have lost his soul.

"I...actually...was defeated by a cultivator of the same level!..."

He murmured, his face twisted, and he let out an unwilling roar. Then his body trembled and he fainted on the ground.

The next moment, green light surged under him, lifting him up and flying onto the jade flute.

Zheng Xuanyan shot a beam of spiritual light at him and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Zhilong is fine."

Uncle Liang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Xuanyan's eyes lit up slightly. He looked at Ning Fa and said in a gentle voice, "I didn't expect that in addition to Zhilong and Yeming, there are such outstanding disciples in the sect. But why was Junior Brother Ning assigned to the outer sect?"

Uncle Liang was about to answer.

The other pale-faced young man on Yuxiao had recovered from his surprise.

This person was none other than the monk named Yu who had conducted tests on Ning Fa and others in the Hall of Inquiry.

He whispered a few words to Zheng Xuanyan.

Zheng Xuanyan was surprised and asked, "It's actually a defective thunder spirit root?"

“But I see that Junior Brother Ning’s magical power is as powerful as that of a newly advanced foundation-building cultivator. This doesn’t seem like something that a person with a defective lightning spirit root can do.”

Zheng Xuanyan shook his head slightly.

The monk named Yu nodded; he was also surprised by this.

"Then let's ask this Junior Brother Ning."

Zheng Xuanyan smiled gently.
