Chapter 23: Mere Sword Intent, Does He Even Care?:

The massive City Lord’s Mansion was now deathly silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

At this moment, countless people forgot to breathe, and their gazes fixed on the two words ‘Drop Sword’ on Zhou Tianyu’s chest.

What did this mean???

Was that monster disdainfully mocking Zhou Tianyu’s sword technique as an inferior, unworthy skill?

Or was he using these words to insult and tease Zhou Tianyu?

Or perhaps… both?

Everyone felt their thoughts freeze… Earlier, they could explain away Ye Wuhen slapping Zhou Tianyu into a spinning top as a surprise attack.

But now?

This time Zhou Tianyu had attacked first, and with all his might. Yet the result… he was once again utterly defeated by Ye Wuhen, even stripped of his clothes and hair, utterly and completely defeated!

Thinking about Ye Wuhen’s sword technique just now, the crowd’s emotions surged even more.

That seemingly ordinary, almost random swordplay… was more exquisite and marvelous than any sword technique they knew!

Could this really be the 17-year-old first good-for-nothing of Qingyun City?

It seemed like no one had ever heard of him practicing swordsmanship! In fact, many people were seeing Ye Wuhen use a sword for the first time… And this was the first-time sword user who left everyone stunned, unable to recover.

“Pfft… This scoundrel is still so mischievous! He’s so bad…” The Holy Maiden of Azure Profound Holy Land, Han Qingxue, suddenly covered her red lips and laughed.

The dazed crowd finally returned to reality, including Ye Hongfeng, the old man next to Han Qingxue, whose frozen face now showed uncontrollable excitement.

“He is indeed my good grandson… No, in terms of swordsmanship, this brat is on the level of my grandfather!!!”

The old man stammered, almost confused. But the surrounding people found it deeply reasonable.

If it was only about combat strength, Ye Hongfeng at the Meridian Refinement Realm Realm would undoubtedly overpower Ye Wuhen.

But combat strength was one thing; mastery was another. Ye Wuhen’s sword technique just now… without using spiritual Qi, was something Ye Hongfeng absolutely couldn’t do, and almost no one present could do!

“This boy… has perfectly understood the true essence of the sword. When he can channel spiritual Qi, he already grasped sword intent!!!”

On the floating platform, Elder Xu Ergou of the Cloud Sect, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, suddenly said.

His words caused an earth-shattering sensation among the crowd.

Perfectly understood the true essence of the sword? When he could channel spirtual Qi , he already grasped sword intent!!!

What was the sword intent?

It represented the ultimate source of a sword practitioner’s power!!!

Many people spend their entire lives unable to touch the threshold of sword intent.

This monster… had grasped it in advance???

How was that fair? How could others even live???

Unlike the surrounding crowd, the Nalan family members standing beside Xu Ergou were even more overwhelmed with emotions, especially Nalan Xiu.

His regret was almost breaking the heavens.

Today, what his Nalan family experienced and missed out on!!!

“Hmph… Mere sword intent, and you’re all talking as if it’s so profound. Do you see him caring about it?”

A different voice sounded. Hearing this, the first thought of the crowd was arrogance.

But upon closer inspection, the speaker was none other than the Holy Maiden of Azure Profound Holy Land, Han Qingxue, and the crowd instantly fell silent.

She was probably the only one here who dared say such things!

Wait, the crowd suddenly realized… ‘Do you see him caring about it?’

Thinking back on Han Qingxue’s words and looking at Ye Wuhen standing there as if nothing had happened, the crowd suddenly understood the true meaning of her words.

The sword intent, which others couldn’t even dream of… this guy, really seemed indifferent to it!!!

“How can this be… How can this be!”

“I’m at the peak of the Meridian Refinement Realm, the peak of the Meridian Refinement Realm! How could you possibly beat me?”

In the middle of the crowd, one person was oblivious to the talk of sword intent. That was Zhou Tianyu.

After Ye Wuhen snatched his sword, cut his hair, tore his robe, and inscribed words on him, Zhou Tianyu was in a daze, unable to accept reality.

Despite his state of undress and the numerous onlookers, he no longer cared, and shook his head in a crazed manner.

Just as Ye Wuhen was wondering if he should finish Zhou Tianyu off, a large robe flew out from the inner courtyard, enveloping Zhou Tianyu.

“Hmph… Ye Wuhen, our families have always had no bad blood, yet today you inexplicably cause havoc in my City Lord’s Mansion. Humiliating my son like this, isn’t that too much?”

A cold snort accompanied by a question sounded from the inner courtyard. At the same time, a figure in a green robes stepped into the air.

This was an elderly man with a beard. Though his hair and beard were white, his body appeared extremely strong, and his face was ruddy.

He was the City Lord of Qingyun City, Zhou Xingyun.

Hearing Zhou Xingyun’s words, the crowd was suddenly enlightened. Ye Wuhen’s strength indeed amazed them, but the City Lord had a point.

Regardless of strength… why cause trouble at the City Lord’s Mansion without reason???
