Chapter 347 Sword Intent (Subscribe)

Xian Yuyan was stunned when she heard this, and immediately realized that the person in front of her was an expert and not someone who could be bullied.

She felt sorry for Shangguan Tianyi in her heart, but she answered truthfully, "It is just as you said, my Lord. She has been contaminated by the abyss."

The cultivation methods of the 'Dragon Guards of the Great Song Dynasty' are different from those of normal martial artists.

To some extent, they can be regarded as vessels for the advent of the 'Will of the Abyss', and their methods of cultivation are related to the depths of those ancient abysses.

Of course, the Song Dynasty cultivated the Dragon Guards not to make them the carriers of the revival of the ancient abyss, but to let them steal the power of the abyss.

The four great dynasties all possess a secret method that allows the Dragon Guards to transform into dragons when their fontanelles close at the age of eighteen, stealing the power of the abyss while severing their connection with these ancient abysses.

The war dragons transformed from these dragon guards are often very powerful and can manipulate very powerful abyss concepts. Their strength far exceeds that of normal martial artists.

Lin Rui became even more curious after hearing this: "Since she has been contaminated by the abyss, why did you send her to me?"

Xian Yuyan's face twitched. She couldn't bear to see Shangguan Tianyi's martial arts journey cut short, so she had deliberately delayed until this time to send Shangguan Tianyi out of the imperial city. The problem was that she didn't want to get blamed for this.

However, after a brief hesitation, she said solemnly, "Tianyi was contaminated because her swordsmanship was too strong, so strong that it deeply touched the realm of the gods, causing the will of the abyss to leave a deep imprint on her soul. When she transforms into a dragon, the will of the abyss may take advantage of her weakness. However, I believe that her will and swordsmanship may be able to resist the abyss.

And you, my Lord, you were able to enter the Dragon Shedding at the age of nineteen, possess the blood of the Super Emperor, and are involved with several Abyssal Beings. Perhaps you can also help her suppress the Abyssal Will."

She thought for a moment and added, "In the past year, Tianyi has only used less than 20% of her Qi to pass all the assessments in Dragon Guard City. In the past two months, she has even used less than 10% of her Zhen Yuan."

"Oh?" Lin Rui glanced at Shangguan Tianyi and said sarcastically, "You're only at the fifth level, and you dare to say you can fight against the abyss?"

Shangguan Tianyi's pretty face was pale and she was biting her lower lip tightly.

She has strong self-confidence and will never give in even when facing the will of the abyss within herself. However, she cannot refute Lin Hao and does not want to displease the commander of the Assassination Bureau and miss her last chance.

Lin Rui noticed Shangguan Tianyi's stubborn look. The girl was actually quite dissatisfied.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he stood up: "Then give it a try, unleash your sword intent with all your might, and let me see how skilled you are!"

Shangguan Tianyi was stunned when she heard this, then looked at Lin Rui hesitantly, and then looked at Xian Yuyan next to her.

Testing the sword was no problem, but the question was whether this commander's small body could handle it. What if he got injured? Shangguan Tianyi didn't want to lose her last hope.

Lin Rui crossed his arms and glared at her. "Are you worried about my identity? I promise you that no matter what the outcome, I will pardon you. Or do you lack confidence in your own swordsmanship?"

This girl's swordsmanship should be very strong, but he estimated that it was at most at the level of Xue Lingxue.

Shangguan Tianyi didn't hesitate any longer after hearing this, and suddenly drew his sword and stood up: "As you command, sir!"

At this moment, there were suddenly traces of thunder exploding around, spreading all around.

When Lin Rui saw the lightning, he said to himself "Oh shit!" He realized that he was a little too arrogant, and he started to feel crazy.

Shangguan Tianyi's sword intent is difficult to describe. It is like the thunder that strikes out when chaos is not yet divided, and it is also like the most unruly poet in the world, using the sky as paper and lightning as a pen, condensing endless power and will into the tip of the sword and waving it around freely.

This sword intent, which is closely connected with the time of thunder, is like the sharpest brushstroke between heaven and earth, and like a microcosm of the thunderous power in nature. It penetrates the shackles of the void and transcends Lin Rui.

What is rare is that this woman's sword intent is not only agile and sharp, but also heavy, neither hurried nor slow, blending with the ether between heaven and earth, majestic and vast, sublimating her will and faith to the limit, urging and controlling the elemental force that is enough to shake the mountains and rivers, thus converging into an irresistible torrent at the tip of her sword.

This torrent is rushing towards Lin Rui with overwhelming force.

Lin Rui's face couldn't help but twitch slightly. Because he underestimated his enemy, his mind and soul were almost destroyed by the opponent.

He began to believe that the girl in front of him was indeed a rare sword genius in the world.

Just looking at the strength of the sword intent, it is undoubtedly emperor level!
And the power of the abyss wielded by the girl opposite is also extremely strong.

Lin Rui's eyes were fixed, carefully identifying the sensation.

This is the power of Wan Lei Tian Zun! It involves the five conceptual powers of Wan Lei Tian Zun, and each concept has reached more than 20%!

This made his heart like a raging wave, and it took a long time to calm down.

No wonder this girl was contaminated by the will of the abyss and left with a mark.

With this level of conceptual power, not to mention the candidates for Dragon Guard, even ordinary martial artists are at risk of having their consciousness invaded by the will of the abyss.

Shangguan Tianyi also showed a look of surprise.

She hesitated just now because she was afraid of hurting this lord, but she didn't expect Lin Hao to remain motionless under the impact of her sword intent, without a scratch. Xian Yuyan was also moved.

She knew how powerful Shangguan Tianyi's sword intent was, surpassing most of the Sixth Realm Super Emperors! Shangguan Tianyi's soul talent was also very strong, and his soul power had actually reached the early stage of the Sixth Realm!
The key point is that in addition to her own sword intent, this girl has also incorporated the will of Wan Lei Tianzun and the five concepts of the abyss!
This commander who had just entered the fifth realm actually held on.

He seems to be able to handle it with ease.

Xian Yuyan's heart skipped a beat at the same time, and she thought, bad, the sword intent displayed by Shangguan Tianyi is too strong, this is too much!

"That's it!"

Lin Rui pretended to be indifferent and waved his sleeves: "The sword intent is indeed very strong, but it is more of a borrowing of the power of the abyss. This concept of the abyss has been completely integrated into your soul, becoming one and the same.

If I'm right, it's already difficult for you to separate it with your sword now. You're almost out of control, right? You can't even contain the power of the abyss now, so how can you fight against it? Isn't that ridiculous?"

Xian Yuyan sighed secretly upon hearing this, thinking that it was indeed so.

The color on Shangguan Tianyi's face also faded completely.

She wanted to argue, saying that she had actually restrained at least 10% of the concept and will of the abyss, otherwise her sword intent could be even stronger.

But when Shangguan Tianyi opened her mouth, she had nothing to say.

Although she managed to control 10%, it was also a fact that she did not control the remaining 20%.

But in the next moment, Shangguan Tianyi saw Lin Hao reaching out his hand towards her, and said calmly: "Where is your dragon seal? Give it to me."

Shangguan Tianyi was confused at first, then suddenly woke up. She hurriedly took out a small seal from her arms and placed it in front of Lin Rui with trembling hands.

The secret method practiced by the candidate Dragon Guards can greatly reduce the influence of the will of the abyss on them after the fontanelle closes, but this does not mean that this method is infallible.

They still have to be vigilant at all times and fight against the will of the abyss.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, every Dragon Guard will place the core of their soul on a dragon seal and sacrifice their blood and sweat since childhood.

This is a special magical weapon. The master of the Dragon Guard can use this magical weapon to help the Dragon Guard suppress and resist the abyss, or shatter the Dragon Seal when necessary, causing the Dragon Guard to die.

Since the commander is willing to accept her dragon seal, he must be willing to recruit her as a dragon guard.

"Sir!" Xian Yuyan looked at Lin Hao taking Shangguan Tianyi's dragon seal in his hand with an extremely surprised expression. She never expected that there would be such a sudden turn of events today.

She then added solemnly, "My Lord, you should know that it is difficult for Tianyi to transform into a dragon. The chances of her becoming a divine carrier are very high. You only have one candidate for Dragon Guard."

Lin Rui sneered disdainfully when he heard this. Speaking of the carrier of gods, he had an even more troublesome one in his family.

He put his hands behind his back and said, "Please lead the way. We'll handle all the necessary procedures for applying to be a Dragon Guard candidate today! Also, I think her fontanelle will close within twenty days at most, and she'll be ready to transform into a dragon. Please let me know what herbs and magic formations she needs. It would be best if you could help me procure them."

Xian Yuyan's expression relaxed. "Please follow me, sir! I can help you with the application procedures right now. As for the materials you mentioned for dragon transformation, we Dragon Guards actually have a large supply of materials to assist Dragon Guard candidates in this endeavor. We have several recipes, the cheapest of which is just over ten thousand taels of divine gold, while the most expensive is worth around thirty-two thousand taels of divine gold."

At this moment, she was both happy and nervous. She was happy that her disciple still had a chance to transform into a dragon, but she was nervous because the chances of Shangguan Tianyi successfully transforming into a dragon were really low.

However, Xian Yuyan knew better that for Shangguan Tianyi, she would rather fail in her transformation into a dragon and die than leave the palace and die a dull old age among the common people.

When Lin Rui heard the offer of '32,000 taels of divine gold', his heart twitched slightly.

This was the reason why he hadn't planned to go to Dragon Guard City before. It was too expensive to hatch a candidate Dragon Guard.

All the profits from his transaction with Senior Sister Meng this time must be invested here.

Lin Rui then looked at Xian Yuyan meaningfully: "Master Xianyu, I see that your cultivation and bloodline are quite impressive. Why are you serving as an instructor at Dragon Guard? But your previous master has passed away. I wonder if Master Xianyu has any plans to choose a new master?"

Xian Yuyan was able to teach a disciple like Shangguan Tianyi, so her strength must be extraordinary!

Lin Rui was not interested in hatching dragon guards with mediocre bloodlines, but was eager for real masters.

Xian Yuyan is very strong, and she even gives Lin Rui an unfathomable feeling.

The Dragon Guard is indeed very reliable. As long as you master the Dragon Seal, life and death will be decided by him. He is much more reliable than the hired masters.

Xian Yuyan's body stiffened slightly. She never expected that Lin Hao would actually set his sights on her.
