Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 395 Immortal!
"This sword intent hasn't truly taken shape yet!"

Xu Ran stared at the silver iron sword in the boy's hand, then glanced at the silver iron sword he was holding.

The sword intent emanating from the two swords is similar in some respects, but there are also differences.

Although Xu Ran had only recently started learning swordsmanship, he was still able to tell the difference.

The sword intent contained in the silver iron sword in his hand was more mature, sharp, and decisive than that of the silver iron sword in the boy's hand!

As Xu Ran was sensing the differences between the two silver iron swords, his vision suddenly went black.

A moment later, the view in front of me changed again.

"Awwww——"

In the night sky, countless wolf howls echoed through the darkness, exactly the same as the wolf howls we had just heard.

However, unlike before, the wolf's howl seemed to be right next to my ear.

wrong!

It's not just a feeling, it's right next to my ear!

Xu Ran stood still, facing the boy who still held the silver iron sword.

However, behind him, there was a strong smell of blood.

The smell of blood was extremely strong; preliminary estimates suggest that hundreds of people must have died to produce such a stench.

Moreover, amidst this overwhelming stench of blood, there were also sounds of gnawing.

The sound of bones being torn and shattered echoed in the night sky, sending a chill down one's spine.

then.

Xu Ran turned around.

I saw.

Those who had just stood opposite the boy, trying to enter the protective circle behind him, were now all lying in pools of blood.

The corpses lay scattered about, and dozens of wolves, each nearly three meters long, were gnawing on them.

The sharp fangs, illuminated by the moonlight and stained with blood, looked particularly eerie.

Before these nearly dozens of huge wolves, there was another enormous wolf.

This wolf had scarlet eyes and exuded a fierce wildness.

Do not!
This can no longer be called a wild wolf.

Instead.

Wolf demon!

This wolf demon was a full five meters tall.

The sharp claws on its four feet reflected a cold, steel-like gleam in the moonlight, and its mouth was stained with blood.

Even between its teeth, you could see bits and pieces of meat.

This wolf demon is clearly the leader of this pack of wolves.

Only a wolf demon can become the king of these wolf packs!

but.

This enormous wolf demon, standing before the boy, lacked its previous domineering and imposing aura, instead exuding an air of equality.

The wolf demon's eyes were fixed on the silver iron sword in the boy's hand. The faint sword intent emanating from it was the reason it stopped in its tracks.

"These people are dead, so be it. You've all had your fill. If you dare take another step forward, don't blame me!"

Say it.

The boy took a step forward, gripping the silver iron sword in his hand. A sharp sword intent emanated from it, completely protecting the crowd behind him.

Sensing the intense sword intent, the wolf demon didn't take a step forward. Instead, it turned its head and howled at the wolf cubs who were eating.

"Awoo---"

A wolf howl that could carry across the entire night sky rang out, and instantly, the wolves that had just been munching on their food with their heads down raised their heads.

"Awoo---"

At the same time, it responded to the wolf king's howl.

then.

The pack of wolves, having finished eating, left the clearing in an orderly fashion.

As Xu Ran watched this scene, a ripple suddenly stirred in his heart.

"Is this the sword intent of this person?!"

From the moment the little boy began practicing swordsmanship, he always had one goal: to solve his basic needs for food and clothing.

During his sword training, everyone in the village who had supported and helped him was treated well after he mastered the sword technique.

This time, the wolf pack attacked the village, and countless villagers lost their lives, becoming food for the wolves.

And all those who helped him in the beginning were protected by him.

From beginning to end.

This little boy adheres to only one will.

We must repay kindness and avenge wrongs!
It was precisely because of his unwavering adherence to this principle that he was able to progress so rapidly in kendo.

"A clear mind is just like this!"

Xu Ran muttered to himself, when suddenly, the scene before him changed again.

A fleeting illusion appeared before my eyes.

When the Qingming Festival came again, the scene before my eyes was no longer the small village I had been in before.

It was on a mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

Standing in front of Xu Ran was a middle-aged man with bulging muscles, holding a sharp iron sword in his hand.

The iron sword was engraved with obscure and difficult-to-understand runes, which constantly emitted a golden light.

At his waist, a black iron sword was fastened to his belt.

Upon closer inspection, it was exactly the same as the silver iron sword that Xu Ran was holding!
Simultaneously.

A sharp sword intent spread out from his body, slaying everything around him, and no aura dared to approach him even a fraction of a second.

It was obvious that this middle-aged man was the little boy who appeared in Xu Ran's video at the very beginning.

He had lost track of time; the childishness on his face had long since vanished, replaced by a sense of composure.

and.

At this moment, he was no longer standing on the ground.

he.

Currently suspended above the mountain, its cultivation level and sword intent have increased immeasurably compared to the beginning.

It's as if a single swing of a sword could move mountains and fill seas!
"Ok?"

Xu Ran's attention was originally focused on the middle-aged man, but behind him was a large group of people in dark figures.

I turned my head to look.

Xu Ran realized that the faces behind the man all looked very familiar.

"Aren't these the same people who first appeared in the village?"

“These people, at the very beginning, had no cultivation at all!”

"So, in such a short time, his cultivation level has reached such a high level?"

Xu Ran's eyes were filled with shock.

The ordinary people who first appeared in the scene had no cultivation whatsoever, and in fact, no possibility of cultivation at all.

result.,

How long has it been? These people are not only able to cultivate, but their cultivation levels are also quite high!

Xu Ran was shocked for a moment, then her gaze returned to the man.

"How many resources would that require?!"

Xu Ran looked at the man with obvious admiration.

Although he hadn't been cultivating for long, Xu Ran was very clear about how much effort it would take to get someone who couldn't cultivate onto the path of cultivation.

They cherish even the treasures that enlighten them.

It is possible that most people will spend their entire lives without finding even one of these treasures.

Not to mention, it has enabled nearly a hundred people who were previously unable to cultivate to embark on the path of cultivation!
and.

Stepping into the path of cultivation is just the beginning. To grow to the point where one can levitate, and given that everyone's cultivation level is not low, the resources required are even greater!
"You are amazing!"

Xu Ran stared at the man and uttered a compliment!
It takes immense courage to do something like this!

even though.

These were the people who had helped him before he grew up, even if it was just a bowl of rice, half a field mouse, or a few pieces of cabbage.
These things are, to put it mildly, worthless.

But it is precisely because of this that the man's sword intent can be so pure and unadulterated!

"Is this how this person's sword intent is formed? It's so pure, full of childlike innocence!"

"Never forget your original intention, that is the original purpose of practicing swordsmanship!" Xu Ran pondered for a moment.

Suddenly.

The silver iron sword in his hand suddenly burst into a dazzling light.

In this scene, only Xu Ran could see this light.

but.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the middle-aged man suspended high in the sky turn his head to look in this direction, with an uncontrollable smile on his face!
It seemed like he saw Xu Ran.

Before Xu Ran could think it through properly...

Suddenly.

My body felt an unstoppable sense of weightlessness as I plummeted from a great height.

Waiting for my vision to return, I returned to that arena.

Before him stood the same bald man with bronze skin.

"came back"

Xu Ran looked around blankly, saying things that no one could understand.

"Little kid, do you want to go home?"

The bald man heard Xu Ran muttering to himself and immediately spoke up sarcastically.

Even so.

But in reality, the expression on the bald man's face was not pleasant.

just.

In that instant, Xu Ran, standing before him, became even more formidable.

The feeling was that when facing Xu Ran, it was like facing an unparalleled divine sword, extremely sharp, making people afraid to look him in the eye!

"What is Xu Ran saying?"

The junior sister, who was observing the trial from the sidelines, was at a loss when she heard what Xu Ran said, and couldn't hear what he was saying.

Not to mention the junior sister, the other two didn't know why Xu Ran would suddenly say such a thing.

Could it be.

Does Xu Ran really feel at home?

but.

That's normal. He's just a child under two years old. After spending so much time in the nine-story tower, it's normal for him to miss home.

Although the eldest and second eldest brothers were at a loss for words when Xu Ran spoke.

However, they knew very well that Xu Ran definitely didn't say those things because he was homesick.

"Ok?"

The second senior brother, who was carefully observing Xu Ran, suddenly asked in confusion.

Xu Ran's body transformed into something resembling a sword, as if...

Halfway through his speech, the second senior brother couldn't continue. He seemed unable to find any words to describe Xu Ran's current state.

"To forge a sword with one's own body!"

The moment the words "eldest brother" were uttered, the second brother immediately responded.

"That's right!"

The second senior brother readily agreed.

"Xu Ran's body is now like a sharp sword, and it constantly exudes a fierce sword intent!"

"This is... the pinnacle of sword intent!"

As the second senior brother spoke, he himself could hardly believe what he was saying!

Sword intent perfected!
These four words mean many things.

This means that your skill in swordsmanship has reached a high level.

This means that you can now declare to the outside world that you are a sword cultivator.

This means that your talent is already higher than that of 99% of people!
but.

do not forget.

Xu Ran only learned the most basic sword techniques today.

Previously, when he used the [Immortal Sword Technique], he relied on his almost inexhaustible innate energy to completely kill others.

Sword intent?

That was just something that came with the [Immortal Sword Technique]; it wasn't something Xu Ran cultivated himself.

so.

It's absolutely true that Xu Ran only started learning swordsmanship today—no, just now.

but.

In that instant, Xu Ran's sword intent had reached its peak!
To know.

Xu Ran skipped the initial stage of sword intent and went straight to mastery!

If the three of them hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed such a thing.

but.

Such an unbelievable thing happened right before their eyes.

"What exactly happened just now?"

The eldest brother stared at Xu Ran, his eyes full of confusion.

He simply couldn't understand what had happened to allow Xu Ran to skip all the basics and directly reach the stage of mastering sword intent!

After a moment's thought, the eldest brother shook his head.

"I don't know how Xu Ran, that monster, managed to do it."

"However, one thing is clear."

The eldest brother's words immediately piqued the interest of the second brother and the youngest sister, who asked in unison.

"what?"

"Xu Ran is about to pass the swordsmanship test!"

Above the arena.

As the guardian of this checkpoint, especially the guardian of swordsmanship, the bald man was naturally aware of the tremendous changes that had taken place in Xu Ran.

"Sword intent has reached its peak?"

The bald man's expression turned serious, and at the same time, his eyes were fixed on the silver iron sword in Xu Ran's hand.

"It must be this sword!"

Before long, the bald man figured out the truth.

"Hmph!" he sneered. "Sword Immortal, indeed not simple!"

Say it.

The bald man straightened his body, and at the same time, the nearly hundred-foot-long blood-red iron sword moved along with his body.

Even if Xu Ran's sword intent is perfected, as the gatekeeper, he still needs to go all out.

"Now that you have mastered the art of swordsmanship, let me test your mettle!"

The bald man stared at Xu Ran, his eyes filled with fear and fighting spirit.

"Sword intent fully mastered?" Xu Ran was somewhat confused upon hearing the bald man's words, then looked down at the silver iron sword.

"This is the pinnacle of sword intent?!"

"But when did I develop sword intent?"

Xu Ran's voice sounded somewhat confused, but he made no attempt to hide it as he spoke to everyone.

For a while.

The four people who heard Xu Ran's words were immediately filled with helplessness!

What kind of world is this?!

Xu Ran didn't even know that his sword intent had reached its peak. If the bald man hadn't mentioned it, he probably wouldn't have known that this was the sign of a peak sword intent!
"You like to pretend?" the bald man said immediately upon hearing Xu Ran's words.

"Then I'll make sure you can't pretend anymore!"

The bald man roared angrily.

Immediately.

He made a hand seal, and countless crimson lights danced at his fingertips. Slowly, a crimson rune appeared in front of him.

With the appearance of this blood-red rune.

The blood-red iron sword, hundreds of feet in size, that was suspended high in the sky, also began to tremble violently at this moment.

"call out!"

A crisp sound of air being cut rang out, and in an instant, the hundred-foot-long blood-red iron sword became the same size as the silver iron sword and was held in the bald man's hand!
