Chapter 152 Momentum and Intent
This aura was extremely familiar to Lin Que, who had keen senses!
It was this very aura that had previously caused Li Muxue to be defeated in a single move.
This kind of atmosphere is also referred to as a kind of artistic conception.
This is the essence of swordsmanship!
At this moment, Chen Jiuge no longer chose to hold back, and his entire body was radiating an extremely strong sword intent!
This caused the longsword in his hand to glow with a blue light and tremble violently.
The sword emitted a soft "humming" sound!
A moment!
The sword intent surged, the sword rang out with a cry, the sword light was sharp, and the sword energy soared into the sky!
He transformed into a sharp, unsheathed sword and vanished from the spot in an instant.
At this moment, Lin Que finally fully understood what his master Zhang Daojiu meant by sword intent. He could now clearly feel that Chen Jiuge was a sword, and he had become one with the sword!
If you have a sword in your heart, everything in the world is a sword!
This is the essence of swordsmanship!
Lin Que understood, but whether he could stop it was another matter. However, at least his mindset had changed.
Since that's the case, let's give it a try...
Faced with a sword coming at him, Lin Que chose to hold his longsword horizontally in front of his chest. His eyes instantly became clear and calm, and his whole body exuded a different aura!
However, unlike Chen Jiuge!
Only Lin Que in the arena could sense Chen Jiuge's artistic conception, but Lin Que's aura was not an artistic conception, and its influence was wide-ranging, causing everyone in the entire trial arena to feel this calm aura at the same time.
"That's strange, it feels like he's become a completely different person."
"Yes, I could feel it too. That person's aura was different."
"What a strange feeling, this aura has actually calmed my mind."
"..."
Those who sensed the aura emanating from Lin Que began to discuss it amongst themselves, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it!
Ripples began to well up in Li Muxue's usually cold and aloof eyes.
"Junior brother, what exactly is going on...?"
Feng Wudao stared intently at the two people in the arena, but he didn't say anything. However, the clenched fist in his hand said it all!
Ning Ziyan stared at Lin Que's figure, her eyes shining brightly!
Her crimson lips parted slightly as she murmured, "So, this is your true strength..."
On the high platform, Master Zhang smiled as he watched his disciple's figure, prompting others to ask, "Peak Master Zhang, what exactly is this...?"
At this moment, apart from Fairy Cai Li, the other peak masters were all waiting for Zhang Daojiu's answer.
Then a voice rang out!
"Sword power!"
It was actually the sect leader of Qingyun Sect who spoke.
At this moment, he stared intently at Lin Que, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"what?!"
Upon hearing the words "sword intent," the peak masters exclaimed in utter shock!
"How...how is this possible?"
"Sect Master, are you sure what you're saying is correct?"
Upon hearing this, the Qingyun Sect Master simply nodded slightly and then remained silent.
After receiving the Qingyun Sect Master's affirmation, the expressions of the other peak masters all froze!
They all knew what "sword intent" meant.
Inside the arena, Chen Jiuge's experience was quite different from that of the people outside. Others might have only sensed a calm and composed aura passing by.
At this moment, Chen Jiuge felt a chill run down his spine!
Only those who experience it firsthand can truly understand how it feels.
This caused Chen Jiuge's usually lazy and handsome face to show a solemn expression for the first time, as if some kind of monstrous beast had appeared in front of him.
But he did not choose to back down; the blue light in his hand flashed and disappeared!
Similarly, the green light in Lin Que's hand, carrying the sword's momentum, lifted up a blue lotus and erupted at this moment!
The two sword beams intertwined!
"Boom!"
The force of the collision created a deafening roar and also caused a blinding flash of light that momentarily blinded everyone!
When the bright light dimmed, everyone slowly opened their eyes and looked into the arena, only to witness a scene they would never forget!
Everyone's jaws dropped open, their bodies froze, and their expressions gradually shifted from shock to blankness!
There is no other reason!
Because at this moment, a huge crater had been blasted out in the center of the training ground by the collision of the two sword moves!
Even the originally hard ground could not withstand the power of the two men's sword moves!
"Look!"
"Senior Brother Chen... he's actually injured!"
"However, that junior brother named 'Lin Que' is also not having an easy time."
"This, this, this, a new disciple actually managed to injure Senior Brother Chen!"
"Truly...terrifying!"
After everyone realized what had happened, they were all amazed!
Everyone was incredibly shocked that Lin Que was able to injure Chen Jiuge with his cultivation at the early stage of the Life Sea Realm!
But that alone was enough to make him proud.
Inside the deep pit, two figures stood facing each other, both looking extremely disheveled.
At this moment, Chen Jiuge was no longer as relaxed and lazy as before, and her clothes looked somewhat tattered.
His face was covered in a little dust, and even a trace of blood had seeped from the corner of his mouth.
However, compared to Lin Queyi, he seemed much better.
Lin Que's face was deathly pale, and even his once rosy lips were now completely bloodless.
The upper body clothing was reduced to shreds once again!
"cough!"
Lin Que then coughed up a mouthful of blood, which drew concerned glances from some acquaintances.
Especially the fairy Cai Li on the high platform, her beautiful eyes were full of concern!
At this moment, she wished she could immediately appear in the training ground to check on Lin Que's condition, but unfortunately, since the competition was not over yet, no one could enter the field unless there were special circumstances.
Chen Jiuge looked at Lin Que's figure and said with a smile, "Haha, I didn't expect my junior brother to be so strong!"
“Junior brother is also the only fellow disciple in the sect who can push me to this point.”
"Just as you said before, you gave your senior brother a huge surprise!"
"If I'm not mistaken, that was a 'sword stance' just now..."
Lin Que wasn't surprised that Chen Jiuge could guess it, and simply smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Indeed, just as Senior Brother guessed, it is 'sword intent'."
"But senior brother, haven't you also comprehended the essence of the sword?"
Lin Que ultimately did not use the sword from the painting. After all, the power of that sword was too terrifying, and Lin Que could not guarantee what would happen. Even his master Zhang Daojiu almost could not withstand it back then, and finally had to use the Purple Cloud Heart Protection Mirror to block it.
After all, this is just a competition between fellow disciples; it shouldn't come to this!
Therefore, Lin Que simply incorporated the "sword intent" into the Azure Lotus Sword Technique, reducing its power before unleashing it.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiuge smiled and shook his head, saying, "I didn't expect that my junior brother is also a genius among the heavens!"
"Although it's only a difference of one word, 'momentum' is much more difficult to achieve than 'intention,' so please don't make fun of me, junior brother."
Then he changed the subject: "However, junior brother, you won't have any energy left, will you?"
"Haha, junior brother, you should just admit defeat!"
"I'll accept this first place without hesitation, senior brother!"
After saying that, Chen Jiuge raised his sword again to gather his strength, intending to eliminate Lin Que with the next strike.
Strangely, Lin Que showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever. Instead, he gave Chen Jiuge a mysterious smile and murmured softly...
"Senior brother, that's hard to say."
"What do you think my junior brother deliberately created this deep pit for?"
"The fun has just begun!"
"But just to be on the safe side, we should still do something..."
Lin Que raised his sword and waved it around, raising clouds of dust that obscured everyone's view.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jiuge frowned, wondering what Lin Que was up to. Moreover, after seeing his mysterious smile, he felt a vague sense of unease.
But there was no time to think, and he charged toward Lin Que with his sword in hand!
At this moment, Chen Jiuge thought to himself that Junior Brother Lin probably didn't have any more tricks up his sleeve, since his energy was almost depleted.
However, this meager spiritual power might truly be running out for others.
But for Lin Que, that was enough!
Lin Que looked at Chen Jiuge rushing towards him and a smile appeared on his lips!
He held a sword in one hand and kept changing hand gestures with the other!
The moment then froze!
A glint flashed in his eyes, and he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Heaven-Severing Technique!"
