Another five days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the cliff of the back mountain, Lin Muyu sat quietly for another five days.
In the drizzle, Leah squinted her beautiful eyes and asked, "Master, have you made any progress these days?"
"No."
"Then it's a waste of time …"
"How could it be?" Lin Muyu smiled faintly and continued to sit on the rock. With a light wave of her finger, it was as if an invisible giant sword had sliced through the sky. Even the dense layers of clouds were sliced open.
"Wow, it's amazing …" Leah opened her mouth wide, "Master, I want to learn too. What kind of martial arts is that?"
"Sword intent."
Lin Muyu explained concisely, "Ao Sword Tactics is about sword intent. Those who really understand sword intent are able to control everything like a sword, including airflow and clouds."
"Then … Master's sword intent is very powerful now?"
"It can only be regarded as a beginner …" Lin Muyu shook her head and smiled, "To be honest, I felt that I had mastered one-tenth of the Ao Sword Tactics in the first three days, but after twelve days of practice, I felt that I had only mastered less than one percent. The Ao Sword Tactics is so profound that I may not be able to fully master it in my life."
"Master could defeat those bad guys from the Hunter's League if he learned one percent of it. If he mastered it completely, wouldn't he be able to destroy a mountain with a flick of his finger?"
Lin Muyu chuckled, "Leah, do you think destroying a mountain is powerful?"
"Ah? Then … then what is powerful? "
Lin Muyu nodded and looked at the tender leaves between the rocks and said, "It's easy to destroy the world, but to protect everything under the power of destruction is the real powerful martial arts. The Ao Sword Tactics is very overbearing. The beginning is all about killing, but in the middle part, it all becomes the power of protection. The strongest power protects everything, slays demons, and wins every battle. This is the true meaning of the Ao Sword Tactics."
Leah giggled, "Master, Leah understands. In fact, the Elder of Tiannan's cultivation of the Ao Sword Tactics went astray because he didn't understand the true meaning of the Ao Sword Tactics, right?"
"Shh, don't speak so loudly, or Senior will regret it to death."
"Oh, Leah understands."
…
In the evening, he brought Rheia to the canteen.
The moment he entered, the two disciples bowed respectfully. "Exalted Immortal, your meal is ready."
Lin Muyu was surprised that there seemed to be more dishes on the table not far away.
Ever since the battle at the mountain gate, the disciples' attitude towards Lin Muyu had changed a lot, and they were especially respectful towards her. Perhaps the Bright Sword Forest was the same as the human world, where the strong were respected. Only when you were strong enough would you be respected by others. Although this kind of respect was somewhat unsatisfactory, it was much better than being mocked and ridiculed by the other disciples.
Lin Muyu nodded happily and brought Leah to eat.
When Lin Muyu sat down, Ru Yan and Shi Han also came and sat on both sides of her. Ru Yan looked a little uneasy and whispered, "Exalted Immortal, please don't worry about what happened not long ago … It was us brothers and sisters who were too narrow-minded …"
"It's okay, I've already forgotten. Why do you need to take it to heart?" Lin Muyu took a bun and said, "The Hunter Alliance may come again at any time. At that time, I'm afraid we'll have to fight side by side. We're on the same side, so there's no need to take it to heart."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Exalted Immortal." Ru Yan smiled and secretly took something wrapped in oil paper from a disciple at the side. After opening it, there was a burst of fragrance. It was a roasted chicken. She smiled and said, "Exalted Immortal, the mountain gate of the Bright Sword Forest is cold, and they only have vegetarian food. Senior Brother and I asked someone to buy this from the Snake Scale Valley to improve your diet. Try it?"
Lin Muyu was stunned. "Is there a rule in the Bright Sword Forest that we can't eat meat?"
"Yes, but there's no written rule that we can't eat meat. It's just that everyone abides by the rules."
"Then let's eat together. Just give me a chicken wing."
"Mm."
As she spoke, Lin Muyu plucked off a chicken leg and placed it on Leah's plate, which made the little girl overjoyed. The resources in the Eternal Sword Domain were scarce, and eating meat was already an extravagant hope, let alone a treasure like roasted chicken.
…
After the meal, everyone returned to their rooms, and Lin Muyu continued to meditate and cultivate.
After an unknown amount of time, her spiritual perception suddenly jumped. Immediately after, an image flashed in her mind, and she seemed to see a person. A man dressed in black with a mask on his face said to Lin Muyu in a low voice, "What, you don't dare to come?"
"Mm?"
Lin Muyu's spiritual perception jumped again. There was indeed someone invading her Yi Sea. The Eternal Sword Domain was indeed a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There was actually such an expert!
Almost without thinking, Lin Muyu disappeared from where she was. She had already shattered the void and was ten miles away.
"Wu wu wu …"
A cold wind blew. Although this place was still part of the Snake Scale Valley, it was now a desolate mountain range. Right in front of Lin Muyu, a person holding a black sword stopped in the air. It was the person that her spiritual perception had sensed. He had a burly figure and wore a mask. He smiled and said, "You're the Lin Muyu who killed Sun Xingmiao with one strike in the Bright Sword Forest?"
"Yes, who are you?" Lin Muyu was fearless.
"Hahahaha …" The person threw his head back and laughed wildly. He said, "Who I am is not important. What's important is whether you're willing to accept my challenge."
"Challenge?"
Lin Muyu could not help but laugh. She said, "You want to use my name to climb up? I'm afraid you've found the wrong person. Since you want to use me to climb up, why don't you tell me your name? "
"What a joke! I didn't come to challenge you for fame. I just want to defeat you. "
As he spoke, he slowly unsheathed his longsword. It was a treasured sword with a blade that was as sharp as the moon. The moment the blade was unsheathed, its sharp light turned into many fine wind blades that swept out in all directions. Wherever the wind blades passed, rocks shattered and trees snapped. This person was not an ordinary expert. Even an expert like Sun Xingmiao could not be compared to him.
Lin Muyu could not help but frown. "What kind of power is this?"
"The Eternal Sword Domain, the supreme realm of sword intent. Of course, I named it myself. I've sealed this power for fifty years and have not used it. Now that I've met an expert like you, it's finally worth me using it for real." He smiled proudly. "Why? Are you afraid?"
Lin Muyu smiled. "Interesting. It seems that you're the person I've been looking for."
"What do you mean?"
"I came to the Eternal Sword Domain to find the power of the Eternal Sword Domain. Isn't your power exactly what I'm looking for?"
"Hahaha, let's fight!"
Without another word, the black longsword was raised and the Sword Will was unleashed. Before the blade even landed, the ground had already begun to crack. Wherever the Sword Will went, the mountains beneath Lin Muyu crumbled, forming a huge canyon. Just as Rheia had said, the Sword Will of this person before her had the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!
He was a strong opponent. This was the strongest person Lin Muyu had met after becoming a Titled Martial God!
"Buzz!"
He raised his finger and activated the Proud Sword Technique. A ray of golden light shot up into the sky. It was also a sword intent, but the Proud Sword Technique seemed more calm. It collided with the opponent's longsword.
"Bang!"
There was a strong wind, and both of them retreated dozens of meters. The first confrontation was considered a draw.
"Clang!" The Xuanyuan Sword was unsheathed. Lin Muyu held the sword and lowered her arm. The blade also hung low, but the awe-inspiring sword intent had already raged around her. In the blink of an eye, it was as if thousands of golden Xuanyuan Swords were dancing around Lin Muyu. Her opponent was not afraid either. He raised his black sword straight, and the surrounding black sword intent surged like a tornado.
When experts fought, there were no more moves. There was only the collision and suppression of sword intent.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …"
Between heaven and earth, streams of Sword Qi raged. Both Lin Muyu and her opponent were surrounded by a huge sphere. The Sword Qi rampaged, and wisps of sword intent power collided and exploded in the middle. The earth shook and the mountains shook. The impact seemed to destroy heaven and earth.
In the strong wind, Lin Muyu's short hair danced. She looked at her opponent with clear eyes. She activated the power of Holy Martial Arts and the Proud Sword Technique, and constantly launched a series of attacks to attack her opponent.
Her opponent did not give in at all. He released the power of the Eternal Sword Realm. Streams of black sword intent raged everywhere. In the blink of an eye, the air was filled with the sharp sound of the collision of sword intent. The surrounding heaven and earth also lost color because of the battle between the two. Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Lin Muyu's attacks were like continuous waves, wave after wave. However, her opponent's skills were extremely profound. The sword intent seemed to be endless, which made Lin Muyu feel a little weak.
This person was extremely strong. Under the double attack of the power of Holy Martial Arts and the Proud Sword Technique, he did not show any signs of defeat!
…
After attacking for an unknown period of time, the other party suddenly withdrew his aura and said, "Enough!"
"What, you don't want to fight?" Lin Muyu stopped using the Proud Sword Technique and asked in surprise.
Her opponent's expression couldn't be seen clearly under the mask, but he was obviously smiling. "This is the Eternal Sword Realm. My sword intent originates from under this Blue Waves Great Land. You are a genius. I don't want you to die here. So, you continue to cultivate. I will come to find you again until the day you can defeat me."
"Then, what is your purpose in challenging me?" Lin Muyu asked.
"To become stronger." He smiled and said, "I have already seen your flaw. Although your Eternal Sword Realm is strong, its weakness is also very obvious. That is, you are benevolent. You are not willing to kill with every move. Your benevolence will become your biggest weakness. Next time, you may not be so lucky. Remember, once you reveal a flaw, I will kill you without mercy."
Lin Muyu smiled. "I will continue to show mercy because you can't beat me. You can't kill me, but I don't want to kill you."
"…"
Her opponent didn't speak, but the black sword intent lingering around his arm became more and more intense.
"What, are you angry?" Lin Muyu asked.
Her opponent still didn't speak. He just quietly withdrew from the battlefield and disappeared.
"Boom!"
The ground exploded, and a wave of power crashed into the ground from where he was standing.
Sure enough, she was angry.
