The Check-In System, Starting with the Sunflower Martial Art for Eunuchs

Chapter 39: Sword Intent!

Moragu's sword was very fast, and his movement speed was also very fast.

The Emperor and the others were unclear of what Moragu was thinking. They felt that Moragu was merely fussing over a small matter. He was actually worried that his junior brother, Bo Ri, would be in danger at the Changmen Palace.

Even if there was a grade-9 great grandmaster hidden in there, how could he be as strong as Dugu Xiong or even Shi Chengtian?

If Changmen Palace really had such a grade-9 great grandmaster hidden in it, it wouldn't have been reduced to the current status.

Therefore, the Emperor and the others felt that Moragu's worries were unnecessary and that Bo Ri could not possibly be in any danger!

Only Moragu himself had felt that threatening sword intent just now!

Sword intent was not some mere sword aura!

Sword auras could cause a commotion among the wind and clouds and fill the surrounding space with the feeling of a sword's sharpness, even making the temperature seem to drop a bit, like what Dugu Xiong had executed during his exchange with Bo Ri. This was a showcase of the brilliance of the sword.

But if one had managed to go one step further, one would be able to grasp sword intent!

Sword intent could only be understood by oneself and was unable to be taught through words. It did not showcase the brilliance of its powerful destructive power like sword aura did. Neither would it cause a huge commotion.

However, sword intent could make a sword move have its own "spirit"!

And once one understood sword intent and one's sword move possessed a "spirit", one would be able to dominate all the grade-9 great grandmasters!

One of the necessary factors for breaking through to the realm of Mythical Pugilist from grade-9 was that one had to have a sufficient and deep comprehension of "spirit"!

With his luck, Dugu Xiong had managed to get his hands on a part of the Sword Sage's inheritance in the past. However, he, who had already cultivated to become a grade-9 great grandmaster, was still at the level where he could only execute simple delicate sword moves with a majestic sword aura. Although it seemed threatening and powerful on the outside, it was not as powerful as one would think.

This was because, within his sword move, there was no "spirit"!

He had yet to fully grasp the essence of the Sword Sage's inheritance!

As a master in the path of the sword who had beaten Shi Chengtian with merely two sword moves, Moragu was also someone that had understood sword intent!

This was why his expression changed drastically. At the moment when Lin Ping killed Bo Ri, he had noticed something was wrong and rushed towards the Changmen Palace.

However.

Although his speed was very fast, he was still too late after all.

By the time he arrived at Changmen Palace's courtyard, Bo Ri's head had already been separated from his body, and it could be seen flying in the air.

As Moragu stood still, the head rolled to his feet.

Bo Ri's eyes were wide open, and there seemed to be surprise and disbelief in them.

It was difficult for Moragu to accept the fact that Bo Ri was dead, beheaded by a single sword move.

Moragu also felt uncomfortable.

He and his junior brother had a good relationship, and most importantly, this junior brother was his master's only son!

Coming to the capital this time, his master had also specially come to him and asked him to take care of his junior brother and not let him do whatever he liked.

But who would have thought?

Moragu bent down, picked up Bo Ri's head, helped him close his eyes, and then walked over and put it together with his body.

After doing all this, he stared at Lin Ping sharply, saying, "No matter who you are or what status you have, you have to pay for killing my junior brother today!"

Lin Ping also stared at the barbarian master cautiously, feeling a trace of pressure.

He had heard Yun Su talk about what happened yesterday.

Shi Chengtian, the Invincible Iron Fist, was defeated by this man with merely two sword moves and had fled for his life in a hurry.

"Receive my sword!"

Moragu's eyes were cold, and sword intent was rising within them.

Shortly after.

In the deserted Changmen Palace, there was no wind, and the branches and fallen leaves in the courtyard were all still.

But the few people in the courtyard including Lin Ping, Chun Fei, and Yun Su, and even the Emperor and the others who were far away from the Changmen Palace, could clearly feel a sudden "wind" in their hearts!

In front of this wind, they seemed as insignificant as ants, and they felt that they could be easily blown away to the horizon.

This was just from the sword intent!

This could only be seen in people who had cultivated a peerless martial art to the extreme and comprehended "spirit".

Moragu's barbarian robes fluttered in the air, even making slapping noises against the air!

He held his sword with both hands, and when the sword intent and the aura of his body climbed to a peak, the sword qi finally took shape!

This sword qi was no longer just a move from a martial arts manual. Instead, it contained the will of Moragu, a swordmaster!

"God-Killing Sword Technique, Third Move Divine Extermination!"

These two words were shouted out.

This time, he didn't use the previous two moves "Body Extermination" and "Heart Extermination" that he had used to deal with Shi Chengtian that day!

He had directly used his third move, "Divine Extermination"!

On the day when Moragu faced Shi Chengtian, he had merely prepared the attack and had yet to fully execute it. From this alone, Shi Chengtian had already sensed a threat to his life. He knew that if he were to face the attack head-on, he would undoubtedly die, and there would be no possibility of surviving.

Therefore, without any consideration, he immediately chose to escape in order to save his life.

This was because this move of Moragu was no longer meant for ordinary grade-9 great grandmasters but was specifically used to kill top grade-9s who had comprehended "spirit"!

The power gap between grade-9s could be huge, even greater than the gap between grade-8 and the initial stage of grade-9.

However, to determine the level of strength among grade-9s, people did not use the depth of one's internal energy nor the length of one's cultivation time.

The most important measure was whether one had comprehended "spirit"!

Any martial art cultivated to the extreme would allow one to comprehend "spirit".

For example, in sword intent, saber intent, fist intent, and so on.

But even as a great grandmaster at grade-9, it was very difficult for one to achieve this step.

If one could comprehend "spirit", one would belong to the peak among the grade-9s.

If one couldn't comprehend it, no matter how strong one was, their strength would be limited.

One example would be Shi Chengtian, who was a long-standing veteran grade-9. He had not managed to take this step.

Although he was able to contend against the three weakest grade-9 great grandmasters alone and his strength was far better than Dugu Xiong, but when facing Moragu who had already understood sword intent, he was completely defeated after just two moves.

Moragu's killing intent was at its peak, and the third move of the God-Killing Sword Technique only took an instant to form.

As expected of an attack which made Shi Chengtian frightened and escape without hesitation.

Under this attack, ordinary grade-9s were like ants and would be unable to resist such an attack.

Chun Fei and Yun Su, who were standing behind Lin Ping, had pale faces.

In their eyes, this sword move was not what a human could perform, and they couldn't think of anyone that could block such a sword.

What would happen to Lin Ping?

General Who Stabilizes the North Xie Feihong, Feng Bao, and the others, who were not far from the Changmen Palace, all had a solemn face.

It seemed that the mysterious grade-9 great grandmaster of the Changmen Palace was indeed very strong to have made Moragu display such a terrifying sword move.

But no matter how strong he might have been, it was over.

The observers were familiar with this move. Even Shi Chengtian, the master of Xie Feihong, had been frightened by such a move and ran away.

This sword was unstoppable!
