Chapter 113: Sword Intent Manifestation Ying Jiankong was gathering his power and condensing his sword intent.

On the other hand, Ding Yue was still holding his treasured sword and standing proudly there with a disdainful attitude.

Judging from their attitude toward the duel, it was obvious who was the superior one!

The expression of the Nine Swords Mountain elder was extremely grave. Looking at Ding Yue’s disdainful attitude, his heart began to sink.

Even if Ying Jiankong used the One Sword technique, he might not be able to beat Ding Yue.

Victory and defeat seemed to have been decided.

There was no suspense left in this fight.

What was left to see was whether Ying Jiankong’s One Sword technique could injure Ding Yue.

He would use this strike to determine Ding Yue’s actual strength.

If he could kill him…

The Nine Swords Mountain elder would not miss that golden opportunity to attack. How could an expelled disciple not harbor hatred toward Nine Swords Mountain?

Liu Pingfeng became more and more determined to get Ding Yue to join the Great Qian Dynasty.

The stronger Ding Yue was, the more beneficial he would be for the Great Qian Dynasty if they managed to rope him in.

......

With Ding Yue holding down Nine Swords Mountain, the Great Qian Dynasty would be able to encroach on the Great Qin Dynasty’s territory.

Without the support of Nine Swords Mountain, Qin Keyun alone would not be able to monitor such a large territory.

Over on the Nine Swords Mountain’s peak, a beautiful woman was staring at Ding Yue with hatred!

It was all his fault for making brother Jiankong lose his composure and damaging his reputation!

What a hateful fellow!

Similarly, over on the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain’s peak, the purple-clothed woman beside the red-bearded old man had an anxious expression on her face.

“Grandfather, can brother Jiankong snatch victory from the jaws of defeat?”

The red-bearded old man’s expression was solemn. Although he really wanted to comfort his granddaughter, no matter how he looked at it, Ying Jiankong had no chance of winning.

In fact, it was likely that his attack would not even threaten Ding Yue.

The latter was too calm. He still held the treasured sword in his arms, looking infinitely arrogant and disdainful.

Without strength, only a fool would be so arrogant to face Ying Jiankong’s One Sword technique like that.

Since he was clearly not a fool, it meant that he had absolute confidence!

Before Ding Yue appeared, he had believed his grandson-in-law to be the number one expert of the younger generation in the Southern Region.

After Ding Yue appeared, Ying Jiankong’s fame seemed to dim.

Ying Jiankong had gathered his power to its peak state. His sword intent was fully condensed, causing his entire body to emit a sharp sword intent.

Cracks appeared on the soil and rocks around him as the sword intent eroded the ground under his feet.

“Ding Yue, how dare you belittle me! You will pay the price for your arrogance!”

Ying Jiankong raised his sword and pointed. Surging sword intent and aura instantly gathered on the tip of his sword.

His sword seemed to be capable of splitting the world apart.

The half-step emperor realm experts present all had solemn expressions.

The One Sword technique of Nine Swords Mountain was too powerful.

Not to mention that Ying Jiankong had gathered his power for so long and condensed his sword intent into the sword, allowing it to reach the pinnacle of its strength.

Regardless of whether it was Liu Pingfeng or the Evil King, both knew that it would not be easy to receive this sword strike.

They might even be slightly injured.

Ying Jiankong was at the ninth level of the truth realm, yet his One Sword technique was already this powerful.

How powerful would the Nine Swords Mountain’s elder, who was at the half-emperor realm, be?

Everyone stared at Ding Yue.

They wanted to see how he would receive this sword strike.

The purple-clothed woman clenched her fists and stared at Ding Yue. She kept shouting in her heart, “Stab him to death! Stab him to death! Brother Jiankong is the most powerful!”

Ding Yue’s childhood sweetheart was the same. She prayed that Ding Yue would be stabbed to death!

Han Yingmeng’s eyes widened. At this moment, her feelings were a little complicated. She hoped that Ding Yue would be stabbed to death, but she also did not want Ying Jiankong to win.

At the moment, no one could take their eyes off that unparalleled sword strike that seemed to split the world.

Clang!

The sound of the sword swinging down resounded through the world.

Ding Yue made his move.

Endless killing intent seemingly filled the world.

Among the surrounding warriors, those below the sixth level of the truth realm were all shocked. They formed a spiritual power shield to protect their bodies.

It started to rain!

.

Sword rain!

Small swords that were like raindrops fell down.

The faces of all the experienced warriors changed at this moment!

Sword intent manifestation!

This was the rumored sword intent manifestation!

What kind of Sword Dao realm was this?

It was rumored that every sword cultivator who had achieved sword intent manifestation was an invincible existence in the same realm.

Throughout the history of the Southern Region, only records existed of an expert who had achieved sword intent manifestation.

That was the founding ancestor of Nine Swords Mountain, a peerless expert who shook the entire Northern Zone!

After countless years, there was now someone else from the Southern Region who had comprehended the realm of sword intent manifestation. While he had also been a disciple of Nine Swords Mountain, he had been expelled!

Ding Yue had already sheathed his sword.

He still held his longsword in his arms, while Ying Jiankong knelt on one knee. The latter’s longsword was on the ground, propping up his body to prevent him from falling down.

He had lost again!

He had lost so decisively too!

Blood gushed out from his shoulder. The spot where he was injured was the exact spot where Ding Yue had stabbed him during their first bout. It was not even a centimeter off.

The surroundings were completely silent.

The experts were shocked by Ding Yue’s sword intent manifestation. Others were shocked by how Ying Jiankong, who had used the One Sword technique of Nine Swords Mountain, was still defeated so easily.

It was as if Ying Jiankong had fallen before Ding Yue had even used his strength.

Their strengths were on completely different levels.

The facial expression of the Nine Swords Mountain elder was unprecedentedly solemn. It was the first time since Nine Swords Mountain was founded that they had been defeated so easily.

Moreover, they had been defeated by their very own expelled disciple!

A top-notch Heaven’s blessed had been defeated by an expelled disciple!.

It was as if they had been ruthlessly slapped on the face.

He really wanted to make a move and get rid of this great calamity, Ding Yue.

However, he was not confident!

The young man had achieved sword intent manifestation!

From the beginning to the end, Ding Yue seemed composed and relaxed. He had defeated Ying Jiankong with one strike.

No one knew just how strong he was.

If Ding Yue continued to oppose Nine Swords Mountain, then they would be finished.

At this moment, he was considering whether he could persuade Ding Yue to return to Nine Swords Mountain. However, given the latter’s current Sword Dao, would he still need the support of the Nine Swords Mountain?

Moreover, what kind of figure was the master behind Ding Yue?

Ding Yue looked at Ying Jiankong, whose face was as pale as a sheet, and felt very comfortable.

His pride had been trampled on, right?

His heart was in turmoil, right?

Did he feel ashamed to lose to him, an expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain?

“Do you know why you lost?”

Ding Yue looked down at him from above.

Ying Jiankong’s lips twitched, but he did not say anything.

“Because, I have already broken through to the second out of three stages of the way of the sword, yet you haven’t even broken through the first stage. You were not worthy of being my opponent from the beginning!”

Ding Yue said proudly.

Ying Jiankong raised his head and asked, “What are the three stages of the way of the sword?”

All the experts, especially those from Nine Swords Mountain, were all riled up. They wanted to know what the three stages of the way of the sword principle were.

Why had they never heard of the three stages of the way of the sword?

Ding Yue had only broken through to the second stage, yet his sword intent had already transformed. If he could break through to the third stage, what realm would his Sword Dao reach?

“Listen well! The first stage of the way of the sword is to forget about your sweetheart!” Ding Yue said seriously.

Ying Jiankong: “…”

Everyone: “…”

“Only by forgetting your sweetheart can you pass the first stage and tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword.”

Ding Yue said with a serious expression.

“Bullsh*t!”

The purple-clothed woman was furious.

The red-bearded old man was also so angry that his beard trembled. He glared furiously at Ding Yue.

If Ying Jiankong forgot his sweetheart, would that not mean that he would dump his granddaughter?

That would be even worse!
