Chapter 37 - Thousand fold Critical Hit!!!
Chapter 37: Thousand fold Critical Hit!!!
Upon hearing this,
the junior brother no longer hesitated.
He walked forward directly.
“The sects nowadays are truly too arrogant, even daring to drive away the academy disciples!”
Seeing this scene,
many people gasped in disbelief.
Under heaven, is there not a king’s land? At the shores of the land, are there not king’s ministers?
Even outer academy disciples represent the imperial academy. Throughout history, no sect force would dare to underestimate academy disciples.
Before the blade mark,
Luo Mu had his eyes tightly closed, his right hand constantly touching the blade mark.
At this moment,
he was extremely fortunate to once again enter a state of inspiration.
In his mind, various thoughts surged like a geyser, and the mysteries within the blade mark were continuously absorbed by him.
The Sword Intent within him was rapidly rising.
“Ding!”
“You are focused, free of distractions, and deeply comprehending the traces of the Sword King. A spark of inspiration appears!!! Triggering a critical hit, you have gained a thousandfold reward!!!”
Just as the disciple of the Kai Ming Sword Sect touched Luo Mu’s shoulder,
Luo Mu had just finished the state of inspiration, and at the same time, the system’s prompt echoed in his mind.
How much?
Luo Mu opened his eyes directly, disbelief flashing across his face.
Thousand… fold?
Boom!
The next second, it felt as though a great Dao was roaring in his mind, an unimaginable torrent of insights surged in!
It was vast and boundless, profound and far-reaching!
All were the deepest truths of sword techniques!
And Luo Mu’s Sword Intent within also instantaneously skyrocketed!
Forty percent!
Fifty percent!
Fifty-five percent!
Sixty percent!
Sixty-five percent!
Seventy percent!
Until… eighty percent!
It finally slowed down!
The explosive rise in Sword Intent was so overwhelming that Luo Mu could not contain it and directly burst forth from his body!
Boom!
The terrifying Sword Intent shot into the sky!
It enveloped a radius of several hundred meters!
The mountains swayed, and the rivers surged.
Everyone present felt their shoulders sink as if carrying a mountain.
Those with lower cultivation even knelt on the ground, unable to stand up.
The disciple from the Kai Ming Sword Sect who had touched Luo Mu fell directly to the ground, half his body sinking into the earth!
This sudden scene left everyone in shock.
After a moment, they finally regained their senses.
“This is… Sword Intent!!!”
Someone exclaimed, their voice filled with astonishment.
Because only the great momentum of martial arts could possess such a terrifying intimidation!
Making all martial artists… bow their heads!
Upon hearing this,
the sounds of gasping filled the air.
It was hard to believe.
And that Qi Yun’s face had dramatically changed.
“Are you kidding me?”
“Sword Intent?”
“An outer academy disciple at the True Qi Realm actually possesses Sword Intent?”
At this moment, Qi Yun could hardly be unaware that he had kicked a metal plate.
Once a martial artist possesses the great momentum of martial arts, they are nearly invincible in the same realm; even if everyone present were to join forces, the outcome would only be death!
“Did he comprehend this from the blade mark?”
Someone said enviously.
“How could this possibly be a recently comprehended Sword Intent!”
Another person struggled to swallow, “I once had the fortune to see a strong person with the great momentum of martial arts, who had it at sixty percent, but even that person’s martial arts momentum is not comparable to this one!”
Once this statement was made, the entire audience was shocked again.
If sixty percent is not comparable, then this person’s Sword Intent must be above sixty percent!
In other words, before this person came to the Zhan Wang Xia (King’s Gorge), they had already comprehended the great momentum of martial arts.
They had simply enhanced it above sixty percent by observing the blade mark.
“This is the depth of the academy? A disciple at the True Qi Realm can possess Sword Intent, and the level of Sword Intent is so exaggerated!”
Many felt an immense shock.
In the eyes of the world, how difficult it is to comprehend the great momentum of martial arts! It’s not something a True Qi Realm disciple can possess.
Even the most prodigious individuals must reach the Spirit Sea Realm first.
But what they were witnessing now shattered that perception!
Phew!
A gust of wind blew, and the terrifying Sword Intent suddenly vanished without a trace.
The outer academy disciple seemed to have completely awakened.
He slowly stood up.
Though alone, his mere silhouette brought an overwhelming sense of pressure!
Many even felt drenched in sweat.
Luo Mu took a deep breath.
He hadn’t expected that this critical hit would actually reach a thousandfold!!!
Moreover, it was a thousandfold under the state of inspiration!
The rewards were beyond imagination!
He had jumped directly from thirty percent to eighty percent!
The increase in Sword Intent becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses.
Without triggering a thousandfold critical hit, Luo Mu did not know how long it would take to reach this level.
What sheer luck!
Yet this luck had almost been interrupted!
As the saying goes, to cut off someone’s path to wealth is no different from killing their parents.
What’s more, it was an unprecedented thousandfold critical hit during a moment of inspiration!
Thinking of this, Luo Mu’s gaze instantly turned cold.
Although he had been immersed in comprehension, he would still sense any major disturbances.
Thus, he had a rough idea of what was happening behind him.
Luo Mu slowly turned around.
In front of him lay a person; after retracting his Sword Intent, this person appeared as if they had been granted a great pardon.
They attempted to stand up,
but due to being so close, they were gravely injured, with countless bones broken.
He lifted his head and met Luo Mu’s gaze.
In an instant, it felt as if he had fallen into an icy cavern.
Those cold eyes filled with killing intent made him instantly smell the scent of death.
“Was it you who just touched me?”
Luo Mu spoke.
His tone was indifferent.
“I…”
Before the person could finish, the flash of a blade appeared.
A head flew off, rolling on the ground until it came to a stop at Qi Yun’s feet.
His eyes widened in shock,
filled with fear.
Blood gushed from his neck, quickly staining the ground red.
This scene made everyone instinctively retreat.
Though they knew there would be blood today—after all, no one wanted to be disturbed during their comprehension—they had not expected it to come so swiftly.
“Lin Junior Brother!!”
Among the group from the Kai Ming Sword Sect, someone with a close relationship immediately cried out in sorrow.
Qi Yun’s eyes twitched.
It seemed this outer academy disciple had a terrible temper.
Turning around to kill someone immediately.
“Friend, this matter was our fault, I apologize to you. Now that you’ve killed someone, how about we settle this?”
Although filled with anger, Qi Yun’s mind was still clear.
He had no ability for revenge.
Rushing in would only lead to his death!
“Preserve the green mountains, and you need not fear a shortage of firewood.”
As long as he could leave alive today, there would surely be opportunities for revenge in the future!
“Are you not going to avenge your junior brother’s death?”
“Clearly, you are the one who sent him here.”
Luo Mu’s expression remained calm. “Aren’t you afraid that he’s down there, lonely and desolate?”
Upon hearing this,
Qi Yun’s hands instinctively clenched.
He detected the killing intent.
It seemed that today’s matter would be hard to resolve!
“Friend, we shouldn’t act impulsively; we should turn our hostility into friendship. This would benefit both sides.”
“After all, my Kai Ming Sword Sect has some reputation and status in Fengdu County.”
Now Qi Yun could only rely on the sect.
He tried to intimidate Luo Mu.
However, Luo Mu showed no sign of hesitation or doubt.
On the contrary,
his eyes seemed to shine with interest.
“The Kai Ming Sword Sect, I’ve heard of it. You wield dual blades, following a path of fast blade techniques.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll give you a chance to live.”
“I won’t use Sword Intent. If you can survive for ten breaths, I will let you go.”
Luo Mu said slowly.
Directly killing them would serve little purpose; it was better to extract value and maximize it.
Currently, he hadn’t seen dual blade techniques, and if he gained any insights, it might lead to further comprehension.
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
No Sword Intent?
Wasn’t that akin to self-crippling? No, it was like crippling both arms!
Without Sword Intent,
this outer academy disciple would only be at the True Qi Realm level.
Meanwhile, the Kai Ming Sword Sect had twenty-three members!
One at the True Qi Realm Ninth Layer!
Above Sixth Layer, there were still five.
Such strength was not something a Fifth Layer could contend with.
“This is what you said!”
Qi Yun regained his senses and hurriedly responded!
The existence of Sword Intent was too domineering, but without Sword Intent, he didn’t feel he would be weaker than this person!
“Of course.”
Luo Mu smiled slightly.
“Junior brothers, did you hear that?”
Qi Yun shouted.
“We heard!”
All the disciples gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with hope for survival.
Ten breaths!
They only needed to hold out for ten breaths!
They could definitely do it!
“Ten.”
Luo Mu began to count down.
“Kill!”
All the disciples charged at Luo Mu.
Their dual blades swinging wildly.
However,
Luo Mu struck first.
Extreme Blade Style!
Boom!
In an instant, countless blade shadows flickered, sweeping through everything!
The disciples of the sword sect who had just been charging forward abruptly halted.
They even maintained their attacking stances!
But the next second…
Crash!
All of them shattered!
Crushed organs and blood flowed everywhere, the rich scent of blood quickly spreading around!
Ugh!
Seeing this scene, someone immediately couldn’t help but vomit.
Every one of them revealed expressions of fear and shock.
Heaven knows what they had just witnessed!
With just one strike!
Twenty-three martial artists, including many at the True Qi Realm Sixth Layer and above, died in an instant!
There was no chance for struggle or resistance!
