Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 40: Ten years of hard work is not as good as a sudden enlightenment

In the garden, there are lush flowers and trees, gurgling water, and a quiet atmosphere.

However, as the sword intent condensed from Shen Ping'an's body, the original tranquility was instantly broken.

A series of white sword intents like clouds and mist rushed out from Shen Ping'an's body like flowing water and slowly surrounded Shen Ping'an.

Looking at the sword intent that seemed to flow around Shen Ping'an with his own consciousness, not to mention Yao Yue and Zhang Sanniang, even Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan could feel that these sword intents seemed to contain a domineering will that could cut through the sky and split the earth.

The moment the sword intent burst out, a terrifying aura instantly spread out with Shen Pingan as the center.

The power brought by the perfect sword intent has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

And this time, Shen Ping'an's purpose was to test the sword.

The amount of sword intent mobilized in the body was naturally not as small as the last time he showed it in front of Yan Shisan and others.

As the aura of sword intent spread, Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan, who had the lowest cultivation strength, felt as if they were suddenly in a humid rainy day.

The air around seemed to be filled with a clearly perceptible heaviness.

It felt like there was a huge rock pressing down on my heart, making it heavy and suffocating.

With the experience of the previous few times, this time, the moment they felt something was wrong, Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan retreated repeatedly.

He didn't stop retreating until the strange feelings in his body and heart disappeared.

Just when the two of them were nearly ten feet away from Shen Pingan, Shen Pingan, who was originally standing with his hands behind his back, moved.

Shen Ping'an's left hand was loosely clenched and placed on the left back side, while his right hand was raised and placed on the left waist position in a loose clenched position, and his legs were slightly bent.

It is the starting move of "Sword Art".

It is also the starting move of "Heaven-Cutting Sword Art".

In an instant, the sword intent and true energy surged out of Shen Ping'an's body like a flood.

"boom!"

A gust of wind burst out from Shen Ping'an's body.

Invisible sword energies quietly condensed from the surrounding void like bamboo shoots after rain, emitting a low buzzing sound like flying bees.

But the difference was that when the buzzing sound echoing around entered the ears, everyone present could actually feel the fierceness contained in the sound.

The fallen leaves and petals were shredded by the sword energy surrounding Shen Ping'an, and then continued to gather under the pull of the sword energy, floating beside the inky figure.

It should have been a beautiful scene, but when it fell into the eyes of Zhang Sanniang and others, it made them feel a chill in their hearts.

Especially Yaoyue.

At this moment, Yao Yue actually felt as if the aura around her was locked.

My feet felt like they were stuck in a quagmire, and it became extremely difficult to move.

Feeling the terrifying aura coming from Shen Ping'an's body, Yao Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, and the true energy in her body circulated slowly, ready to go.

"careful!"

At this moment, Shen Pingan, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly spoke.

At the same time when these two words reached Yao Yue's ears, Shen Ping'an rushed out as fast as lightning and crossed a distance of two meters in an instant.

The hand that had been placed on the left waist was raised as if drawing a sword, and then changed from a loose grip to a sword finger.

When the sword finger was pointed at Yao Yue, what was astonishing was that the sword intent, sword energy and even sword force that had just gathered around Shen Ping'an all gathered at this moment and covered Shen Ping'an's two fingers, turning into a ray of sword energy.

The sword energy was not sharp and overbearing, but it seemed to contain a domineering will to split the sky and the earth, which made people feel cold at the sight.

Looking at Shen Pingan who was approaching rapidly, Yao Yue's heart was filled with alarm and the internal energy in her body was circulating rapidly.

Yao Yue raised her fair white hands quickly from under her sleeves, leaving traces of water.

As Yao Yue's hands moved, powerful repulsive forces appeared out of nowhere and headed towards Shen Ping'an.

However, just as these forces had just touched Shen Ping'an's sword finger, the sword light on Shen Ping'an's fingertips flashed.

It was obviously an insignificant light, but in the eyes of Yao Yue, Zhang Sanniang and others, it was like the first ray of light breaking through the darkness, extremely dazzling.

The repulsive forces rushing towards Shen Ping'an melted silently like spring snow meeting the sun the moment they touched the sword light.

On the other hand, Shen Pingan continued to move towards Yao Yue with undiminished momentum.

Upon seeing this, Yao Yue's expression suddenly changed, and his true energy poured out like flowing water. At this moment, Yao Yue had even raised his own cultivation from the original ninth level of Xiantian Realm to the first level of Guiyuan Realm.

As the restrictions were lifted, even more powerful true qi mixed with special energy condensed in front of Yao Yue, instantly forming dozens of layers of air walls visible to the naked eye.

But even so, as Shen Ping'an's two fingers approached, the air wall condensed in front of Yao Yue with "Yi Hua Jie Yu" was like thin paper, and was broken open by Shen Ping'an's two fingers wrapped in sword energy with a domineering, brutal and unstoppable force.

The terrifying aura that came towards him made Yao Yue's heart flutter.

Before Yao Yue could make any further move, Shen Ping'an's fingers had already landed on her brow.

However, the moment his fingertips touched Yao Yue's brow, all the true energy, sword energy and sword intent that Shen Ping'an had condensed on his fingertips dissipated.

The moment his fingertips touched Yao Yue's brow, the remaining energy brushed across her cheek like a spring breeze.

Perhaps she didn't expect that even though she had improved her cultivation so much, she still had no ability to resist Shen Ping'an's sword.

When Shen Ping'an's fingertip touched her forehead, Yao Yue was stunned for a moment.

In a trance, Shen Ping'an's finger seemed not only to touch her brow, but also to touch her heart, causing ripples.

"excuse me!"

It was not until Shen Ping'an withdrew his hand and the warm touch between his eyebrows disappeared that Yao Yue reacted.

The moment she came to her senses, Yao Yue frowned subconsciously. Although her legs did not move at all, her body strangely moved back three feet.

Looking at Shen Ping'an who was standing opposite him with his hands behind his back, anger mixed with shame spread in his eyes.

My mood also began to fluctuate at this moment.

Perhaps to change the subject, or to conceal her emotions at the moment, Yao Yue forced herself to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and tried to turn her thoughts to the sword that Shen Ping'an had just used with his finger.

As her thoughts shifted, Yao Yue seemed to have thought of something, and she suddenly fell into a unique state.

Noticing something strange happening to Yao Yue, Lian Xing immediately used her skills to flash in front of Yao Yue to protect her.

She said she was a guardian, but before and after she moved to Yao Yue's side, Lian Xing's eyes were only fixed on Zhang Sanniang.

Instead, he did not guard against Shen Pingan, who was closest to him.

Such an action caused Zhang Sanniang to frown slightly and snort in disdain.

After Shen Ping'an walked towards Zhang Sanniang, Shen Qingshan and Qu Feiyan, who had run away before, also came back.

"Cousin, what happened to him?"

In response to Shen Qingshan's question, Shen Pingan said softly, "I suddenly realized it."

"Epiphany?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshan and Qu Feiyan both widened their eyes and unconsciously showed envy on their faces.

"I had an epiphany after receiving a blow from my cousin! I'm so lucky!"

There’s a saying circulating in the martial arts world: “Ten years of hard training is not as good as a sudden enlightenment.”

Every warrior wants to reach such a state one day.

It’s a pity that ordinary warriors may not be able to enter the state of enlightenment in their entire lives.

A fragment of a stele in the Shaolin Sutra Library reads: "Enlightenment is like chasing the wind. If you deliberately seek it, it will scatter; if you watch it without intention, it will gather. You must first use blood and sweat as a net, then use time as bait. When the three elements of heaven, earth, and man converge, a ray of enlightenment will appear."

To enter such a state, the right time, place, state of mind and luck are all essential.

This is also why the two of them showed envy after learning that Yao Yue had entered a state of enlightenment. Then, looking at Yao Yue, then at Shen Pingan, thinking of his current cultivation level, Shen Qingshan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Cousin, how about I challenge you later?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan immediately added, "Feiyan wants one too."

With Shen Ping'an's understanding of the two, he knew exactly what they were planning.

He immediately glanced at the two of them, a smile on his face, and said, "Okay!"

Seeing the malicious smile on Shen Ping'an's lips, Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan subconsciously shrank their necks.

But after thinking about it, given the relationship between Shen Pingan and them, Shen Pingan would not really hurt them.

What if you can gain something from it? Wouldn’t that be a big profit?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingshan and Qu Feiyan looked at each other.

"Fight!"

Ignoring the two of them, Shen Pingan returned his gaze to Yao Yue.

Looking at Yao Yue standing there with her eyes closed and a frown on her face, Shen Ping'an felt a little more curious, wanting to know what Yao Yue could have realized this time.

Gradually, under the attention of several people, Yao Yue, who had been standing still, suddenly relaxed her frown a little.

There was also a hint of realization on her cold and beautiful face.

It was also when Yao Yue's expression changed that a sharp intention quietly emerged from Yao Yue's body.

The moment Zhang Sanniang, who was watching the battle from the side, sensed the sharp aura in Yao Yue's body, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"She actually also comprehended the sword intent?"

Not only Zhang Sanniang, but also Shen Pingan raised his brows slightly and felt a little surprised when he saw Yao Yue standing opposite with her eyes closed and the sharpness in her body gradually becoming stronger.

At the same time, Shen Pingan suddenly understood why Yao Yue wanted to fight with him after seeing his strength.

He actually wanted to fight with me so that I could understand the meaning of sword.

At the same time, feeling the sword energy coming from behind him, Lian Xing couldn't help but turn her head and look at Yao Yue.

His eyes were somewhat complicated.

It seems like surprise and admiration.

"Sure enough, as long as it's something my sister wants to do, there's nothing she can't do."

The two top-notch martial arts of Yihua Palace, "Yihua Jieyu" and "Mingyu Gong", are famous throughout the world.

Especially the "Ming Yu Gong", which is a top-grade martial art.

The fact that it can keep practitioners young and beautiful is enough to drive all women in the world crazy.

Therefore, whenever someone in the martial arts world mentions Yao Yue, the first thing that comes to mind is the two top-notch skills of Yihua Palace.

No matter how strong Yao Yue herself is, people in the world will only think that what is strong is the two unique skills of Yihua Palace, not Yao Yue herself.

If it were someone else, they might not think too much about it.

But when the incident happened to Yaoyue, she felt somewhat dissatisfied.

It was also for this reason that Yao Yue began to practice swordsmanship and comprehend the meaning of sword several years ago.

Let the world know that the reason why Yao Yue is so strong is because of herself. Even if she does not have the unique skills of Yihua Palace, she still deserves to be looked up to.

After a while, as the sword intent in Yaoyue's body gradually grew stronger with the passage of time, a special charm began to grow out from Yaoyue's sword intent like a seed taking root and sprouting.

Whether it was Shen Ping'an or Zhang Sanniang and the others, they could all feel the pride and arrogance contained in this charm.

Under the influence of this pride, Yao Yue, dressed in a flowing white dress, looked like a beautiful fairy standing above the clouds in the sunlight, unattainable.

Savoring the vigorous pride revealed in Yao Yue's sword intent at this moment, Shen Ping'an couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"As expected of Yao Yue, even the sword intent she has comprehended is so high and mighty, overflowing with arrogance."

At this moment, a white bird suddenly flew across the sky, fluttered down, and flew straight towards Yaoyue and Lianxing.

Noticing the movement in the air, Lian Xing raised her hand and sucked the bird into her hand.

This bird looks like a falcon, but it is smaller and more agile.

It was the specially trained messenger bird in Yihua Palace, and its speed was much faster than that of ordinary carrier pigeons.

Remove the bamboo tube tied to the messenger bird and pull out the cloth strip inside.

After a quick glance, Lian Xing's expression suddenly became serious.

"What's the matter?"

Just as Lian Xing's eyes swept over the contents of the note, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Turning around, I saw that Yao Yue had opened her eyes at some point.

In response to Yao Yue's question, Lian Xing first glanced warily at Zhang Sanniang beside her before transmitting her true Qi: "Sister, there's a letter from the palace saying that an elder discovered that someone from the Twelve Constellations appeared in the city outside Xiu Yu Valley today, accompanied by people from Wuming Island."

"If it were just the Twelve Constellations and these clowns, I wouldn't be afraid, but there are many masters on Wuming Island. Now they have all appeared within the sphere of influence of my Yihua Palace. The elders in the palace all think they have bad intentions."

Including himself, there were also Shen Pingan, Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan in the garden.

Poor Xing is only staring at himself now.

Even though Zhang Sanniang had a good temper, she couldn't help but feel a little angry and laughed.

Listening to what Lian Xing said, Yao Yue raised his face slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

After some thought, Yao Yue did not respond to Lian Xing, but shifted her gaze slightly and looked at Zhang Sanniang.

The corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of disdain: "I originally thought that I would have to fight with you a few more times before I could comprehend the sword intent from you, but now it seems that there is no need."

"Next time we meet, I hope your strength will satisfy me."

Facing Yao Yue's words, Zhang Sanniang's chest rose and fell slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "It will be as you wish."

However, in response to what Zhang Sanniang said, Yao Yue just smiled contemptuously and turned to look at Shen Pingan.

His gaze first lingered on Shen Ping'an's handsome face, and then looked at Shen Ping'an's hand.

Yao Yue's cold eyes couldn't help but become dazed once again.

In a trance, Yao Yue seemed to be able to feel the lingering touch and temperature of Shen Pingan's fingertips touching her brow.

"Let's go!"

After a few breaths, Yao Yue said something lightly, then leaped up and flew away into the distance.

Seeing this, Lian Xing nodded to Shen Pingan and followed him.

However, just as the two women were flying into the air and gradually moving away, a sound of breaking air suddenly appeared, and a flash of white light quickly rushed towards Shen Pingan from the direction of the two women.

Sensing something unusual, Shen Ping'an mobilized his true energy, and the sword-shaped true energy quickly rotated in front of him, bringing up a soft force, causing the white light rushing towards him to suddenly stop.

Looking closely, he saw that the white light was actually a token made entirely of mutton-fat white jade and covered with patterns.

At the same time, Yao Yue's voice also floated into Shen Ping'an's ears.

"I owe you a favor for being able to comprehend the sword's meaning today. If you need anything in the future, you can bring this thing to Yihua Palace."

Grabbing the token given by Yao Yue in his hand, Shen Pingan chuckled in his heart.

"It wasn't all in vain."

Just as Shen Pingan put the token in his arms, the system prompt message suddenly popped up in front of Shen Pingan.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for achieving the Sword Intention Instructor, achievement points +1000, Sword Intention Pills (First Level)*3.]
