Chapter 437 - 436: Broken Today
The Sword Dragon roared as if to tear everything apart!
Qin Ya’s long spear trembled, creating a flurry of afterimages!
The collision of the Power of Nature and the Sharp Sword Qi produced a boundless Qi Force that swept out like a storm, throwing a vast expanse of the void into chaos and stunning the crowd.
CLANG...
Qin Ya unleashed his Mysterious Speed, instantly dodging a swipe from the Sword Dragon’s claw. He then thrust his spear, carrying the immense Four Symbols Power, and shattered the dragon’s claw!
But in a mere instant, countless fine strands of Sword Qi reconverged to mend the gap. The great dragon seemed to be Undying!
But Qin Ya knew the Sword Dragon was not truly undying. The Martial Arts True Intent it contained was simply too powerful. His Four Symbols Mysteries, at their current level, were not strong enough to destroy it; at best, they could only contend with it.
"An Era-Defining King... For a mere wisp of True Intent to possess such might is truly extraordinary. But it’s not enough to defeat me!"
As soon as he spoke, Qin Ya’s Four Symbols Energy condensed to its absolute limit. The vibrant, multicolored energy shot out like a beam of light, blasting straight toward the dragon’s head!
With a great BOOM, the dragon’s head instantly exploded!
But it wasn’t over. Qin Ya raised his palm, and countless Thunder Spears, glittering with dazzling purple light, rained down upon the Sword Dragon’s entire body!
Amidst innumerable roars, the Sword Dragon’s body was riddled with holes!
"Holy crap, this kid can actually push it this far!"
"Against that Sword Dragon, I’d last two or three moves at most. But he’s been able to tangle with it for this long. The Top Profound Mysteries are truly extraordinary!"
"With such incredible combat power... is that him? Is that Qin Ya?"
Qin Ya stood proudly in the void, spear in hand, his white robes fluttering in the wind!
But his expression held no trace of ease. Instead, it grew even more solemn. He could feel that the Sword Qi still lingered in the surrounding void, and with the Sword Dragon’s destruction, that Sword Qi was changing once again.
The wind stopped.
A heavy aura permeated the air. Countless strands of Sword Qi gathered in the sky once more, wisp by wisp, as if replacing the very fabric of the world.
It slowly formed a massive tornado!
The distant crowd was already dumbfounded by this scene.
’My god, is that really just a single strand of Sword Qi?’
’Its form is so versatile, and it gets stronger each time.’
’Just what level has Law Enforcement Envoy Linx reached in the Sword Dao?!’
Meanwhile, Qin Ya’s gaze sharpened, his eyes shooting out two dazzling beams of light. The aura around him surged as he said coldly, "Since the Four Symbols can’t grind down the Martial Arts True Intent within it, I’ll just have to switch to the true Power of Destruction."
He retracted the fluctuations of the Four Symbols, but what followed was an even more violent, irrational, and powerful surge of energy. In that moment, Qin Ya’s aura was completely different from before, as if he had become another person entirely!
This aura was tyrannical and filled with a desire for Destruction.
Moreover, it was mixed with a killing intent so potent it made everyone’s hearts tremble!
They had never heard of a killing intent this powerful!
The combination of Destruction and that killing intent made Qin Ya look like a Destruction Demon God that had walked straight out of Hell, bent on destroying everything in the world!
"Such killing intent... Just how many people has he killed?"
"He’s truly worthy of his reputation as the ruthless man who took down over a dozen strongholds of the Blood Nether Association. I had my doubts before, but seeing him now, he lives up to the name!"
"In all of Kunyun Palace, I’ve never heard of anyone with such a heavy murderous air."
"If this man walks the path of good, it will be a blessing for Kunyun Palace. But if he turns to evil, he will not only bring shame upon the palace, but once he matures, he will become a disaster for the Azure Sky."
"Indeed."
Far away, atop a mountain peak, Linx Xiaoyun’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Qin Ya, who now resembled a Killing God. A strange light flickered in his eyes. Compared to the others, he saw more. For example, while the killing intent was incredibly powerful, it was a pure intent to slaughter, devoid of any aura of bloodlust or cruelty.
This meant that Qin Ya was not one to kill the innocent wantonly.
Furthermore, his ability to maintain his true self and not get lost within such killing intent proved that his mental fortitude was far beyond that of an ordinary person. Even in Linx Xiaoyun’s long life, he had only met two or three people like him.
"Old friend, this slaughterous aura... it’s just like yours."
Linx Xiaoyun whispered softly and turned to look at another high peak. His tone carried a rare trace of sorrow, and his gaze was filled with reminiscence.
Back in the outside world, the True Essence that was gradually spreading from Qin Ya’s body was slowly being dyed a deep, pitch-black, emitting terrifying waves of power.
"Heavens, what kind of Mysterious fluctuation is that?"
"Top-tier... It’s one of the Top Profound Mysteries, and not an ordinary one at that."
"Another one of the Top Profound Mysteries? This Qin Ya is just too monstrous."
"With that level of comprehension, he’s an absolute freak."
The crowd’s shocked discussions did not affect Qin Ya in the slightest.
He took a deep breath, and the fluctuations of the Mysterious Second Layer Heaven of the Mysteries of Destruction erupted. He then channeled his immense True Essence and slowly began to Condense a Dharma Aspect.
This Dharma Aspect was pitch-black and stood a hundred zhang tall. Its face bore some resemblance to Qin Ya’s, but its build was slightly different. Its muscles bulged like hills, filled with a sense of berserk power. Its gleaming black eyes were like black holes—deep, mysterious, and yet radiating a desire for Destruction!
It was as if this Dharma Aspect was born for the sole purpose of Destruction.
The Dharma Aspect completely enveloped Qin Ya. It clenched its fists, looked at the approaching storm of berserk swords, and let out a long roar that rolled like thunder, shaking heaven and earth!
Then, it threw a sudden punch!
The punch was simple and brutal, without any form or technique. Its immense Power of Destruction had already cast aside all skill, leaving only the purest, most direct form of Destruction!
With that one punch, the storm was driven back, and the very mountains and rivers trembled!
A massive hole was blasted straight through the colossal wind of swords.
And although other Sword Qi rushed in to fill this hole, the crowd could clearly see that the sword-qi storm was now smaller than before.
The Sword Qi had lost its ability to recover.
The Martial Arts True Intent contained within the Sword Qi had been scattered by that one punch!
On the mountain peak, a smile touched Linx Xiaoyun’s lips. His eyes shone brightly as he gazed at Qin Ya, who was enveloped by the giant Dharma Aspect, a peculiar look flashing in their depths.
For ten years, no one had been able to break this Sword Qi.
Today, perhaps it would finally be broken!
After throwing that punch, the Destruction Dharma Aspect held nothing back. It charged directly into the sword-qi storm and, using its hands and feet, began to destroy the True Intent-infused Sword Qi with the body of the Dharma Aspect itself. The sight left everyone speechless.
BOOM, BOOM...
Rumbling explosions erupted continuously. The Destruction Dharma Aspect was already riddled with holes, but the Qi of Destruction in its eyes had not diminished in the slightest.
As for the sword-qi storm, it had shrunk by several times, becoming a miniature version of its former self. Shortly after, it dissipated completely along with the Dharma Aspect!
The Sword Qi that no one could break for ten years.
Today, it was broken!
