Chapter 13: Disciple, Meng Changqing
Roar!
The puppet roared! Its hands gripped a heavy hammer!
Soon it arrived in front of Meng Changqing.
The fierce wind pressed Meng Changqing’s black hair to flutter wildly, even rustling with sound! One could imagine how terrifying the killing power of this hammer would be when it strikes!
Even martial artists of the same level would either die or be severely injured! So evasion was necessary.
However, Meng Changqing remained motionless, with no intention of dodging at all.
“Could this kid be so arrogant?” The elder’s heart tightened at the sight.
It was not easy for the outer sect to produce a genius. To gain glory and rewards from the inner sect was something to be proud of.
But if he failed here, then everything would be lost.
Others had the same thoughts.
But what happened in the next moment left everyone dumbfounded. Something unforgettable for eternity!
Boom!
As the puppet was about to strike, a terrifying aura surged from Meng Changqing!
It was like a divine sword unsheathed, extremely sharp!
It could cut through everything in the world!
The puppet seemed to be deterred, standing still for a moment.
When it regained its senses, a long sword had already slashed through the air, and nine sword shadows flickered, all landing on it.
Boom!
The second-level puppet was struck hard and its huge body kept retreating until it stopped tens of meters away.
It trembled all over, with many sparks bursting out from inside.
It struggled to charge at Meng Changqing again.
But the next moment…
Bang!
The second-level puppet suddenly shattered, scattering all over the ground. At the same time, the sword in Meng Changqing’s hand also broke.
After unleashing the sword technique, his black hair danced in the air without wind, and his aura was extremely strong!
He looked like an unparalleled swordsman!
“I need to change my sword.” Meng Changqing was not surprised by the sword breaking. After all, it was just an ordinary weapon.
It had good material, but it couldn’t withstand the power of the sword technique, especially when exerted with full force.
Then he looked ahead.
The broken puppet limbs scattered on the ground shocked him.
To be honest, the amplification of this sword technique seemed a bit too fierce!
Just one swordstrike and it shattered this second-level puppet!
He had expected to use a second and third sword. In this case, maybe he could now rival a martial artist at the third or fourth level of the Aperture Connecting Realm?
Of course, the premise was that he had to hurry up and learn a profound-level martial art after entering the inner sect.
Dropping the sword handle in his hand, Meng Changqing slowly turned around.
Hundreds of meters away, the densely packed crowd fell into a deathly silence.
Each one of them had a stunned look, some even gaping.
“How is this possible…” After a long while, someone struggled to speak, “That was a second-level puppet, yet it was killed by just one sword strike!”
“Is the Nine Shadow Sword Art really that powerful?!”
It should have been a fierce battle. But reality was completely the opposite!
Just one swordstrike. It crushed everything, invincible!
“Sword Qi!” Suddenly, the elder’s voice trembled with excitement, even his whole body was shaking. “That’s Sword Qi!”
“What?!” As soon as the words fell, a clamor erupted from the crowd.
Sword Qi.
It was an extremely mysterious existence!
It required high comprehension and long-term practice to condense!
Looking at the history of the Tai Xuan Sect, had anyone in the outer sect ever comprehended Sword Qi?
This kind of thing was something only geniuses in the inner sect barely had the qualifications to comprehend!
“No wonder this person didn’t move just now, and we thought he was scared silly. Unexpectedly, he has already comprehended Sword Qi!”
“With Sword Qi, there’s really no need to dodge!”
“It is said that Sword Qi can amplify the power of sword techniques, but isn’t this amplification too fierce?”
“Just the Sword Qi alone is so terrifying. How much more terrifying would the legendary essence of martial arts be?”
The elder’s words were like thunder striking the calm lake, leaving everyone bewildered.
“Meng Junior Brother actually comprehended Sword Qi!” Bai Suxi couldn’t help but cover her mouth, her beautiful eyes widened with shock.
“It seems that I underestimated him,” the old voice sounded again, with a hint of seriousness for the first time.
As a powerful practitioner who had lived for many years, although now only a remnant soul, her experience was still there. The one who repeatedly shattered her judgments was definitely not ordinary.
Sword Qi. This wasn’t something anyone could comprehend.
Even Bai Suxi, with such exceptional comprehension, hadn’t comprehended it yet.
Of course, this was mainly because Bai Suxi started cultivating relatively late.
“If she had started cultivating from a young age, coupled with my guidance, she would definitely be able to have it!
“The potential of this child is no less than yours,” the aged voice said.
“Yes, Junior Brother Meng is also a genius!” Coming back to her senses, Bai Suxi nodded, her eyes shimmering with genuine joy.
It was evident that she was genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.
If it were anyone else, she wouldn’t have had any extra emotions. But this was Junior Brother Meng!
“Interesting,” the old voice murmured softly, then fell silent.
While everyone was discussing, Meng Changqing had already gradually approached the entrance of the valley.
Whoosh!
The elder appeared in front of Meng Changqing in an instant. His face was full of excitement, and even his white beard was trembling.
“What… is your name?”
Meng Changqing was taken aback. Then he smiled and said slowly, “Disciple Meng Changqing.”
