Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 499: Chapter 18: Spiritual Body! Sword Intent of Primordial Water (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

The crowd held their breaths.

However, at this moment, which ought to be the most tense for Wang Liyao, her expression seemed the most relaxed of all.

In fact, she was not only not nervous, she even looked somewhat dismissive.

Originally, she intended to save some face for him due to her own presumed guilt. But since he refused to behave sensibly, he could blame no one but himself.

In the blink of an eye, her hand finally reached the hilt of the sword at her waist.

“Clang~!”

A long sword chime sounded, and the “Autumn Water Sword” suddenly left its sheath!

Yes, the sword she bore now was indeed her mother, Liu Ruolan’s, “Autumn Water Sword”, a top grade Spiritual Sword.

Before coming to the Academic Palace, her mother Liu Ruolan had loaned her the “Autumn Water Sword”. She told her that she could use the sword until she found one more suited to herself, at which point she can give back the Autumn Water Sword.

Moreover, with Liu Ruolan’s current cultivation realm, her demand for the Autumn Water Sword became relatively low. Now, she favored seeking a powerful magical treasure instead.

Now was the time for the “Autumn Water Sword” to show its might.

During the sword chime, Wang Liyao’s momentum surged instantly.

The next moment, the stern sword energy burst forth, and the Autumn Water Sword shot into the sky, suddenly releasing a surge of sword energy.

“Condense water into a sword, divide light into shadows.”

She made a sword technique with her hands, her delicate jade fingertips pointed forward. To everyone’s surprise, she also performed “Water Shadow Sword Technique”, exactly like Senior Brother Lexian.

In an instant.

A massive amount of water spirit energy seemed to sense something and crazily gathered. Even the calm Tian Lake’s Primordial Water had waves appearing although there was no wind.

The next moment.

“Hum~~~~~”

A long sword chime sounded, the Autumn Water Sword shuddered, suddenly splitting into nine identical, illusory sword shadows like water!

Once the sword array was activated, a terrifying pressure suddenly burst open.

In an instant, even the surrounding air seemed filled with countless tiny fragments of sword energy, becoming cold and somber. Several petals spun down from the sky, and before they had time to touch the ground, they were chopped into countless pieces by the surging sword light.

“Nine, nine sword shadows?!”

The disciples of Tian Lake School present at the scene all widened their eyes almost simultaneously, their voices trembling.

Nine sword shadows, this was the limit of the Water Shadow Sword Technique!

It was said that as long as one can cultivate the Water Shadow Sword Technique to the point of distinguishing nine sword shadows, one might comprehend the Sword Intent, thereby breaking through the existing realm and stepping into the threshold of the Heavenly Human Realm.

This girl was only how many years old, and she had already produced nine sword shadows?!

Only Yuan the Spirit Tortoise, who was ordered not to participate in this dispute, widened his turtle eyes, staring dead straight at this scene, even if he thought it was inevitable, he was also excited.

Indeed, she is the master of fate that the old Ancestor said, the master is indeed strong enough and awesome. How can Lexian compare to the master?

Simultaneously.

Senior Brother Lexian’s face also changed dramatically, and the storm in his heart surged.

Nine swords, she actually turned out nine Primordial Water Sword Shadows… what on earth happened to this world?

Although he had anticipated that this girl was not ordinary, where could he imagine that Wang Liyao’s strength would be so great? As a Spirit Platform cultivator, the ability to transform the Water Shadow Sword into nine sword shadows was unheard and unseen by him.

In a flash, a tinge of regret passed through his heart. No matter what the girl’s identity was, he should not have provoked her.

However, what’s done was done, and it was too late for him to regret at this moment.

At this point, what Lexian could do was to frantically mobilize the Mysterious Energy inside his body and push his Water Shadow Sword Technique to the extreme. He hoped that the Water Shadow Sword Shadows she had differentiated were just forcibly increased in number, and the power of each was far less than his.

In the blink of an eye, the two sword arrays had collided in mid-air.

“Boom~~!”

Amidst the deafening roar, Lexian’s six sword shadows persisted for less than a breath’s time before they were shattered by the powerful sword array composed of nine sword shadows.

Only five of Wang Liyao’s nine sword shadows were shattered. The remaining four sword shadows, their momentum undiminished, continued to rush towards Lexian’s direction.

Le Xian’s face changed drastically, this… how is this possible? Not only was he inferior to his opponent in terms of the number of Primordial Water Sword shadows, but also in terms of quality.

In a flash, he could only hastily summon a lower-grade Primordial Water Spirit Shield to protect himself, his figure already overwhelmed by the sword shadows.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of collision sounds echoed continuously.

Heavy sword shadows surrounded senior brother Le Xian, who nearly exhausted all his abilities, pulling out a Primordial Water Spirit Shield to protect himself, while frantically inducing his movement technique, his figure swiftly altering its direction like flowing water, doing his utmost to evade the sword shadows.

It was only after he had barely neutralized the remaining four sword shadows that he found his mysterious energy mostly depleted, his internal organs churned with pounding blood and qi; uncontrollably, a few streaks of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The disciples of the Primordial Water Tian Lake School present at the scene were stunned by this spectacle, only giving out a chorus of gasps of surprise after they finally came to their senses.

“Hiss! So strong!”

“My heavens, isn’t this too powerful?”

It was only when people reacted to the fact that the Spirit Sword in Wang Liyao’s hand was actually a “Top Grade Spiritual Artifact”! If it were just a top-grade spiritual artifact, that would be fine, but her understanding and grasp of the Primordial Water School’s Water Shadow Sword Technique were already beyond their comprehension.

A senior brother excitedly grabbed Lu Xianghui, who was standing dumbstruck, and hurriedly asked, “Lu Xianghui, come clean, what’s the story behind this junior sister you brought back?”

“I, I, I… I don’t know either~~”

Lu Xianghui had a bewildered look on his face, and he looked completely innocent.

He only happened to meet Wang Liyao in the Thousand Autumn Hall, and it was only after a bit of “persuasion” from her that he agreed to be a mere guide. How would he know about her background?

If he knew earlier that Wang Liyao was so powerful, he would have definitely treated her reverentially, not daring to call her “junior sister” so casually.

He felt a chill go down his spine, feeling that he was pushing his luck. This wasn’t just any junior sister, not even Yu Yun School Sister, could compare to her. If he had to give a title to his current feelings, he would rather call her – old ancestor!

“One should reciprocate a move with another. That’s common courtesy.” Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Wang Liyao’s slightly cold voice came again, “Senior Brother Le Xian, as a core disciple, you are disrespectful to your fellow disciples, taking advantage of your status to bully others, you have entirely shamed the face of the Primordial Water Tian Lake School.”

“Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Primordial Water Tian Lake School.”

As her words fell, Wang Liyao’s toes pointed lightly, and her figure suddenly rose into the air.

At mid-air, her slender hand suddenly stretched out, and the Autumn Water Sword automatically fell into her palm.

In that moment.

Her already overwhelmingly powerful aura suddenly surged again.

A vast amount of water spirit energy converged, just like many rivers merging into a sea, they gathered around her.

The dense water spirit energy swirled around her, giving off waves of water-blue light due to its richness, even without using spiritual sense, one could clearly feel the surging spiritual energy.

The fierce wind stirred, her ink-black hair was lifted by the wind, her clothes fluttering, the whole person was like a goddess in water, carrying an awe-inspiring aura not to be desecrated.

Under this aura, even her rather “ordinary” face seemed to become extraordinary.

The crowd’s attention was unconsciously drawn to her, all were holding their breath and riveting their eyes on her, almost forgetting to breathe.

Under the attention of the crowd.

Wang Liyao flicked her wrist, and the Autumn Water Sword swept across the sky.

In an instant, a sword light like water, like a rainbow piercing through the sun, broke through the air and charged towards Senior Brother Le Xian.

The sword light was cold and fierce, without making a sound when it swept through the air.

Compared to the previous nine magnificent sword shadows, the pressure released by this one sword was less than one-tenth of theirs, and even the spiritual light it radiated wasn’t as dazzling.

However, within that sword light, a trace of nebulous, indescribable atmosphere was engendered. It was like the horizontal waves of autumn water, yet also like the reflected shadow of spring water. It was light, yet also water.

In that instant, the vast Primordial Water Tian Lake roared, as countless Spirit Fish, startled, leapt from the surface of the lake, causing numerous ripple splashes.

“Sword Intent!”

“It’s actually Sword Intent!”

The disciples of the Primordial Water Tian Lake School present were dumbstruck, so shocked that they almost stopped breathing.

Primordial Water Sword Intent! They had only occasionally seen this before on the body of a Celestial being who is a direct disciple!
