Chapter 638: Power of Two Sword Intents!
"Kid, do you know that for every ten breaths this Blood Bone Secret Technique is maintained, it consumes one year of my lifespan?"
The gray-robed middle-aged man gave a sinister laugh. His face was pale from blood loss, but the aura around him became even more violent. "However, even if I have to sacrifice several years of my life, I will definitely kill you today."
As soon as his words fell, he strode forward with the three-meter Blood Sword in hand and slashed down directly at Li Yun.
The Blood Sword shone with brilliant crimson light. Vast blood aura erupted from it, and the strike descended with terrifying force, as if it could split mountains and overturn seas. Wherever the blood-colored Sword Light passed, the surrounding space trembled violently.
"Grand Profound Five Elements Sword."
Li Yun snorted coldly and swung his sword.
After reaching the middle stage of Earthly Core Realm, his essence qi had improved significantly. Although he still could not support using the Grand Profound Five Elements Sword twice in a row, using it once was not difficult.
A Sword Qi shimmering with five-colored light surged out. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth fused perfectly within the sword strike, causing its power to become incredibly astonishing.
Boom!
The two Sword Qis collided fiercely.
From a distance, it did not look like two sword attacks clashing. Instead, it looked as though two masses of light had crashed into one another.
One mass of light was blood-red and filled with an evil and sinister aura. The other mass of light flowed with five colors, appearing divine, magnificent, and powerful. When the two forces collided, terrifying ripples swept out in every direction.
Boom!
The energy sphere exploded, causing the massive ancient tree nearby to tremble. Leaves fell one after another, and every falling leaf smashed deep pits into the ground.
"Puff!"
The gray-robed middle-aged man retreated violently and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face became incredibly ugly.
Even after using the Blood Bone Secret Technique, he had still failed to defeat Li Yun. Instead, he had suffered another setback. To him, this was simply a great humiliation.
He was a dignified powerhouse at the perfection stage of the 5th level of Heavenly Core Realm. Even if he was heavily injured, being pushed to this point by Li Yun was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
"Good. Very good."
The gray-robed middle-aged man’s expression twisted with anger. "Kid, you have truly angered me now."
His blood aura erupted again.
The Blood Sword in his hand began to tremble violently, and streaks of crimson light spread across its surface like living veins. The smell of blood in the air became even stronger.
"Blood Sea Bone Severing Sword."
He roared and swung the Blood Sword with all his remaining strength.
In an instant, the blood aura around him gathered into a vast blood sea. Countless bone shadows rose from within that sea, each one carrying cold and vicious killing power. The terrifying sword strike surged toward Li Yun as if it wanted to drown him completely and tear his bones apart.
Li Yun’s eyes narrowed.
He could tell that this was the gray-robed middle-aged man’s true desperate attack.
If he still held back, it would be extremely difficult to defeat him.
At that moment, Li Yun slowly exhaled.
The sword in his hand let out a clear sword hum. Then, for the first time, Li Yun no longer concealed the two strongest Sword Intents he currently mastered.
A crimson aura erupted first.
It was cold, fierce, and filled with an absolute will to slaughter.
Thirty percent mastery at the Xiantian Stage.
Slaughter Sword Intent.
The moment this Slaughter Sword Intent appeared, the entire forest seemed to sink into a terrifying silence. The air became heavy, and the blood sea created by the gray-robed middle-aged man trembled as though it had encountered its natural ruler.
The killing intent within that blood sea was already vicious, but compared to Li Yun’s Slaughter Sword Intent, it was like muddy water before an endless crimson ocean.
The gray-robed middle-aged man’s expression changed.
Before he could react, a second Sword Intent erupted from Li Yun’s body.
This Sword Intent was completely different from the first.
It was pure, bright, and ancient. It did not carry the coldness of slaughter, but it contained an immortal sharpness that seemed able to endure through time itself. It was as if no matter how many years passed and no matter how many times it was damaged, this sword will would never fade.
Ten percent mastery at the Xiantian Stage.
Immortal Sword Intent.
The moment Immortal Sword Intent appeared, the expressions of the gray-robed middle-aged man and Ye Qingxue changed at the same time.
Even the surrounding spiritual energy trembled.
One Sword Intent represented slaughter.
The other represented immortality.
One carried the will to destroy all life, while the other carried an undying edge that could not be extinguished.
When the two Xiantian Stage Sword Intents appeared together, they did not cancel each other out. Instead, they created a terrifying overlapping effect around Li Yun’s sword.
The crimson Slaughter Sword Intent wrapped around the sword like a sea of blood. At the same time, Immortal Sword Intent sank into the blade like an eternal edge that could not be worn down. The two powers overlapped layer upon layer, causing Li Yun’s sword aura to rise far beyond its previous level.
The aura became terrifying.
Even the gray-robed middle-aged man, a powerhouse at the perfection stage of the 5th level of Heavenly Core Realm, felt a chill rush into his heart.
"How is this possible?"
His pupils contracted violently. "You actually comprehended two Xiantian Stage Sword Intents? Your Slaughter Sword Intent has reached thirty percent mastery, and that other Sword Intent has also reached ten percent mastery. What kind of monster are you?"
His voice was filled with disbelief.
He had seen geniuses before. He had even killed geniuses before.
But he had never seen someone like Li Yun.
Comprehending one Xiantian Stage Sword Intent was already enough to make countless Heavenly Core Realm experts feel ashamed. Yet Li Yun had actually comprehended two. Even more terrifying was that these two Sword Intents were not ordinary Sword Intents. One was a pure Slaughter Sword Intent, and the other was a mysterious Immortal Sword Intent.
When the two overlapped, Li Yun’s sword attack strength soared again.
At this moment, even the gray-robed middle-aged man felt true danger.
