Chapter 127: Comprehending Sword Intent

  Pieces of flesh and blood scattered all over the ground, stunning everyone present.

  Even Carl, who was rushing over, stopped in his tracks. The scene was too terrifying. More than a dozen people had been reduced to fragments. Even he, who was known for being ruthless and merciless, felt a tremble in his heart.

  All who had snatched at the treasure, the women thieves retreated in haste to Karlkins' side.

  Xue Wei Xue Hua stood there, her face slightly pale, her stomach churning. They were also killing for the first time, and their first kill had resulted in such a terrifying scene, which was hard to bear for their nerves.

  Carl Kirkendall's expression changed as he looked at Snowy and the group of women behind her.

  He was reluctant to leave, as there were several hundred people here, many of whom had escaped from Unol City with their most valuable possessions, which would be a huge gain, and he couldn't possibly give it up.

  He hesitated for a moment, then roared: "Tulis, Phelan, Marlston... charge together, kill them, and the rest of you, follow up!"

  Boom!

  Several rays of fierce light rose up like a sharp blade, four figures burst out of the group of bandits and darted towards Xue Wei and Xue Hua like lightning.

  Four people, all nine-star swordsmen.

  These robbers, basically adventurers who escaped from Unol City, can escape from the ferocious beasts occupying Unol City, which means that these people are all elites among adventurers. These four are the leaders of four adventurer teams, and among them, Karlkins is the strongest.

  Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

  He could tell from the extent of their aura explosion that the other three were no weaker than the black-clad man they had met in the Night Forest, and as for the giant who led them with a red sword, his strength was enough to rival that of the leader of the black-clad men.

  Xue Wei Xue Hui shot out a circular ball of water and fire colors once again.

  Two round balls collided in mid-air and merged into a yin-yang pattern the size of a human face.

  Buzz!

  The Taiji diagram spun rapidly, bursting open fiercely, and the red and white magic concentric circles radiated out... "Be careful!" Karlins roared loudly, raising his crimson great sword violently. A deep red flame blade, over five meters long, expanded out and slashed heavily onto the radiating magic concentric circles.

  Wow!

  The fierce flames and magic collided in a perfect circle, then dissipated with a hiss.

  Five meters instantly became four meters, three meters, two meters... But Karlins was indeed incredibly powerful, letting out a loud roar, and the crimson greatsword once again surged with fierce flames, cutting through the entire magical circle.

  However, the other three didn't have it so easy. Although most of the magic circle was blocked by Kallings, the residual shockwave still shook them violently, and their faces turned pale as they struggled to resist with sheer willpower.

  This water and fire sphere is actually able to produce such a powerful effect.

  To be strict, Snowy and Snowdrop were still just six-star mages.

  Facing four 9-star swordsmen, yet making them struggle to resist, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be shocked.

  If this thing were to be fired at him, it's unknown whether he could block it or not. Xiao Chen drew his sword and charged forward.

  Because Kalgin had arrived beside Xue Wei Xue with lightning speed after cutting off the concentric circles, with his Nine-Star Supreme Swordsmanship, Xue Wei Xue absolutely couldn't even block a single move. Kalgin's eyes widened, revealing a ruthless smile, and he fiercely swept down with one sword.

  What a pity for these two exceptional young girls.

  He is a born adventurer who will not show mercy at critical moments and will surely deliver a fatal blow, a ruthless and merciless move.

  Xiao Chen burst out, with a whirlwind swirling around his body. In an instant, he appeared beside Xue Wei and Xue Tong. With one move, the Yu Ming sword silently blocked the red great sword in front of him. The sword tip quivered rapidly, drawing out thirty-six small circles in succession. This was also his current limit for releasing power.

  His immense power was being constantly worn down by him.

  But after thirty-six rounds of circular strokes were completed, the unmatched power still left a small part, shaking Xiao Chen back more than ten steps.

  Karlkins' great sword was also blocked and he took a half step back.

  He stared in shock at the sudden appearance of the black-haired youth, his sword actually being blocked by such a young boy.

  Carl's heart skipped a beat. His gaze narrowed slightly, and he saw that the other person was holding an almost transparent sword in his hand. Just by seeing how the other person used this slender sword to block his heavy sword of over 200 kilograms, one could tell the other person's strength.

  "I didn't expect there were so many interesting little guys in this team." Karlins gazed at Xiao Chen coldly.

  The twin sisters' strength was unexpected, and a black-haired youth with exceptional swordsmanship appeared.

  What's even more shocking is probably Glass and the other cavalrymen on the side, who can't help but feel fortunate that they didn't really clash with Dulin and the others yesterday morning. They had no idea that apart from Fass, even that quiet black-haired youth was so strong.

  Xiao Chen, however, did not hesitate and pounced again.

  Whoosh! The Shadow Sword shook out a piece of light halo.

  Karlkins swung his giant sword, and a fiery aura burst forth, blocking out the light of the Shadow Sword.

  Xiao Chen came and went like the wind, his swordsmanship was cunning and strange, which also made Karlkins headache.

  Xiao Chen went from being evenly matched with the black-clothed men at first to now being able to exchange blows with Carlkins, who is on par with the leader of the black-clothed men, his strength increasing rapidly.

  What shocked Carlkins the most was that Xiao Chen seemed to have never used his Qi, but instead relied solely on his physical strength and a slender sword to block his crimson greatsword, and fought him to a stalemate. How could this not make his heart tremble?

  "What a freak!" Karl Kins saw that Xiao Chen was unable to take it down, and he too became anxious. He suddenly retreated several steps back and let out a loud roar.

  "Whirlwind Round Dance Slash!"

  Karlkins' giant sword wheel spun around in his hand, a hurricane-like whistling sound constantly rising, transforming into a crimson circular sword light, surging with fighting energy, the ground was cut open with massive cracks.

  "It's Spinning Destruction Round Dance Slash, the old man's ultimate sword technique!" The group of robbers on the side were all attracted by the commotion here.

  "It's been a long time since I've seen the boss use this move, last time he used it was in the Night Forest where he killed 18 top-level ferocious beasts in one go!"

  "That little guy was actually able to force the boss to use this move, his strength is really strong, but it's useless now, under Sword Master, no one can withstand this move."

  The robbers stopped talking and looked at Carlkins.

  A gigantic circular sword glow slashed towards Xiao Chen, with an overwhelming oppressive force that made his cheeks ache from several meters away. Moreover, eerily, his body was involuntarily drawn to the circular sword glow.

  The air around was compressed, forming a huge "aura".

  This sword technique can actually form a sword aura, sealing the space. Although this sword aura is still shallow, Xiao Chen's face also reveals a cautious expression. He had once used his soul to cast the Instant Sword of Eternity, which was a kind of sword aura that could easily transcend levels and annihilate Dennox's soul.

  Enough to prove the sword's momentum is terrifying.

  But his soul being able to wield it doesn't mean his body can, and his current body is far from being able to wield the Instant Sword.

  Once he unleashes such a powerful sword aura, his physical body will collapse first.

  "Hah! You're dead!" Karl Kins shouted, his massive sword descending.

  Round dance, adsorption, this sword momentum... Xiao Chen suddenly let out a long whistle, his body suddenly violently shaking, becoming blurry, whoosh! Round dance slash down, the ground cracked open a rift, one meter wide, dozens of meters long.

  Karl Kins withdrew his sword, feeling a sense of emptiness in his body. He was confident that with this one strike, Xiao Chen should have been chopped into minced meat.

  "Ah!" His eyes widened suddenly.

  Xiao Chen reappeared, looking a bit pale but otherwise unscathed.

  "It's impossible, you're a man or a ghost, how can you not be dead!" Carlkins roared, he didn't believe it, even the Rotating Destruction Round Dance Slash couldn't kill Xiao Chen, relying on this move, he had never been defeated before, and was considered the number one swordsman below the Sword Master.

  Xiao Chen remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

  He was recalling the "momentum" of Carlkins' just-performed Spinning Annihilating Round Dance Slash.

  Seal the space, absorb the enemy, this is the effect brought by the "momentum" of the Rotating Annihilation Round Dance Slash. This "momentum" is actually quite superficial and cannot be compared to the sword intent and sword momentum that Xiao Chen had mastered in his previous life. However, for his current physical strength, it is quite suitable.

  Xiao Chen's hand suddenly moved.

  It was as if he was carried away by his excitement, and the illusory shadow sword spun around him, forming a circular halo of light..."This..."

  "This is... Rotating Destruction Round Dance Slash..."

  Everyone who saw this scene was shocked beyond words, and Carlkins looked like he had seen a ghost.

  "No...no...it's impossible..."

  He muttered to himself, staring intently at the circular light shadow conjured up by Xiao Chen, the Yu Ming sword was much smaller than his large sword, of course it couldn't form such a huge circular sword light, but that flavor... was clearly the Rotating Destruction Round Dance Slash.

  How could it be possible for someone to instantly comprehend and replicate his Rotating Annihilation Round Dance Slash after just watching it, knowing that he spent over a decade mastering this sword technique, barely able to wield it, and was already invincible among the nine-star swordsmen.

  Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen not only dodged his Rotating Destruction Round Dance Slash, but also transformed it into a kind of impact that struck him, causing his mind to lose its guard.

  Xiao Chen's sword spun faster and faster in his hand, his gaze suddenly focusing on Kalgain as he charged towards him. The Shadow Sword's Rotating Annihilation Dance Slash descended upon his head.

  A binding force wrapped around Carlkins, spinning light and shadow, like a whirlpool, conveying suction.

  Carl finally confirmed that this was indeed a genuine Rotating Annihilation Slash.

  A chill unlike anything I've ever felt before surged up into my heart.

  "I don't believe it, your Whirlwind Round Dance Slash can't beat mine!"

  He let out a loud roar, raised his great sword and once again unleashed the Rotating Destruction Round Dance Slash. A gigantic crimson circular slash of light and numerous transparent circular slashes of light collided with each other in an instant.

  Hiss! Hiss! Bang! Bang!

  A series of intense collisions, boom! The final violent shock opened, and countless Dou Qi sword auras tore apart, sending shattered stones flying.

  A black figure suddenly bounced out, flew out more than ten meters, heavily fell to the ground, and then continuously rolled over, sliding seven or eight meters on the ground before stopping.

  Xiao Chen...

  "Master..." The black figure was none other than Xiao Chen.

  Seeing him being shot out, falling to the ground motionless, Xiao Chen's side of people's hearts all sank, Xue Wei and Xue Hua were even more anxious, but they were anxious, almost getting killed by three swordsmen.

  Three 9-Star Swordsmen are still quite a handful.

  All the robbers cheered: "Karlkins, Karlkins, Karlkins!"

  They saw Carlkins standing firmly on the spot, while the black-haired boy was cut off and flew out, knowing that Carlkins had won.

  They wanted to send cheers to their strongest warriors, but the fleeing crowd was one by one with a gray and defeated face.

  Carl stood still, looking ahead.

  When the robbers' cheers shook the scene, he didn't move. His eyes were extremely sharp, staring at Xiao Chen's body lying on the ground in front of him. After dozens of seconds, his massive body shook and he spat out two words: "Good sword!"

  Immediately, the divine light in his eyes dimmed, and his body leaned back.

  The sound of Carl's body hitting the ground brought the robbers' cheers to an abrupt halt.

  The whole scene suddenly changed from extremely hot to extremely cold. Everyone saw that on the chest of Collins, who had fallen backwards, there was a round bloodstain.

  "Carl Jenkins... is dead!"

  At the same time, the black figure that was knocked out and remained motionless slightly moved.

  Xiao Chen supported himself with one hand on the ground, slowly and stubbornly crawling up from the ground. His clothes were torn into strips, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but he still looked cold, indifferent, and determined.

  "Xiao Chen!" Du Lin, Jia Luo Xue and others all shouted out in surprise and delight.

  "Xiao Chen!" "Xiao Chen!"

  More and more voices joined in the shouting, those desperate escape teams from just now all let out a loud roar.

  From despair to desperation, when they thoroughly abandoned hope, the dawn of hope descended again, and it was unbelievable. This thrilling reversal made them have to scream wildly to vent their emotions.

  The mountains call out and the seas respond, a shocking and thunderous shout.

  There are also many professionals among the refugees who can escape from Unol City, it's impossible that they are all ordinary people.

  Now, after Xiao Chen killed Kalgus, they saw hope and regained their courage.

  "Kill! Let's fight these bandits!" They raised their swords and clashed with the bandits.

  Xiao Chen took a deep breath and charged towards the three 9-star swordsmen who were surrounding Xue Wei and Xue Tong, attacking them wildly. Seeing Xiao Chen approach, the three 9-star swordsmen were shocked to the point of losing their souls, even Kalgin was killed by Xiao Chen's hand, what were they in comparison?

  "Run!" The three swordsmen didn't say another word and turned their heads to run away.

  They ran away, and the other robbers also lost their leader. The crowd rushed forward, and they fled in all directions to save their lives.

  While escaping, it was actually the swordsmen and mages among the refugees who killed quite a few.

  They left behind dozens of corpses and this gang of robbers escaped cleanly.

  In the valley of Wanyue Gorge, calm was restored after the battle. Although the bandits were defeated in the end, many people died among the refugees, and some men and women wept for their lost loved ones.

  But most people had joyful expressions on their faces.

  They were able to turn defeat into victory, and after being surrounded by over a hundred bandits, they finally defeated the group of bandits. They had no reason not to be happy, but in their hearts, they also knew who the greatest contributor was this time.

  If Xiao Chen hadn't killed Kalgus, these people wouldn't have been able to defeat the bandits.

  Xiao Chen, it turns out you saved everyone here.

  "Go on, Xiao Chen brothers, you're awesome." Du Lin came to Xiao Chen's side and looked at him with a burning gaze.

  He didn't have good eyesight, but he could still see Karlkins' strength. Xiao Chen was able to kill him, and his power was undeniable. What's more, Xiao Chen was still very young. Du Lin also learned that Xiao Chen was only 16 years old. Being able to have such strength at the age of 16 was truly shocking.

  At this time, a few people walked out of the crowd of hundreds of refugees and came towards Xiao Chen.

  These people are all relatively old, with the oldest one having white hair and a beard.

  They walked over and came before Xiao Chen, these few people all bowed their heads to Xiao Chen in greeting, Xiao Chen hastily dodged out of the way, this group of people were all much older than him.

  "Xiao Chen Ge, we are the representatives elected by the refugees of this Uno escape. We would like to express our gratitude to you and thank you for saving all of us."

  Xiao Chen waved his hand casually: "No need to thank me, this is just self-defense. If I didn't fight back, these robbers wouldn't have let me off either."

  The oldest elder said, "It can't be said that way. Those cavalrymen from Uno City, as the empire's army, couldn't protect our safety and were afraid of death. Instead, it was you, Xiao Chen, who stepped forward, regardless of your reasons, and saved us, which is a fact. Here, we want to express some gratitude."

  The old man tilted his head to one side.

  A young man hastily walked up, took out a stack of crystal cards and said: "Xiao Chen, this is the 500,000 gold coins we collected, it's not enough to show our respect, please accept it."

  Xiao Chen glanced at the crystal card but didn't take it, saying lightly: "No need for money."

  "It's really just a small token of gratitude, and compared to you saving so many people, it's nothing..." the old man advised.

  "Xiao Chen, just take it." Du Lin said beside him.

  Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment before taking over those crystal cards.

  He reined in his horse, and the group of old men visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Here, 50 or 60 kilometers away from Yak Town, those cavalrymen were now beyond hope, and it was better to rely on Xiao Chen.

  Those who had lost their relatives in the disaster dug several pits, buried the bodies here and marked them, waiting to come back and move them later. The bodies of the robbers were piled up by them and burned with fire.

  Everything on Karlkins' body now belongs to Xiao Chen. This guy, as the leader of adventurers, also gathered bandits to rob, and there are nearly 10 million gold coins in his crystal card alone.

  In addition, Xiao Chen also found a yellowed book.

  He hastily gathered these things up.

  The team rested in the canyon for several hours before setting off, and now all the main forces are closely following behind Xiao Chen and others. Someone even gave up a horse cart to Xiao Chen and the three women beside him.

  Xiao Chen didn't hold back either, he and Carl Jenkins had a fierce battle, and gained a lot from it.

  Especially at critical moments, he grasped the Rotating Destruction Round Dance Slash, and with a current state that could be used as a sword momentum, it was like adding wings to a tiger, greatly increasing his strength.

  He sat in the carriage, closed his eyes again, and recalled the scene of the battle, carefully savoring the insight. The Rotating Round Dance Slash was just a primary sword move, still very rough, and Xiao Chen wanted to improve it.
