Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 979 - The Opening of the Ancient Mountain

“It’s done.”

A few breaths later, Qin Nan withdrew his right hand as his expression became calm. He had already inserted all of the surging intent from his heart into the character.

The crowd was curious. Qin Nan had already shown them his extraordinary strength. How powerful would his saber intent be?

Before Wen Wu could speak, Qin Nan gazed at Cui Lixu and Lin Ci and said, “Cultivator Cui and Cultivator Lin, how about you two take a look at my saber intent?”

The duo’s expression stiffened.

“What is it? Are you scared?”

Qin Nan wore an expressionless face.

Cui Lixu had tried to pick on him a few times in a row, while this Lin Ci had troubled him too despite the fact that it was the first time they had met each other. Did they really think he would let them bully him as they wished?

“Why not!”

Cui Lixu and Lin Ci exchanged glances with one another, before stepping forward while taking deep breaths.

With these many cultivators around, there was no way they would back off from the challenge. Besides, they had some tricks that could easily protect themselves from Qin Nan’s saber intent.

“Brother Lin, after we resist his saber intent, let’s mock him…”

Cui Lixu transmitted his voice. He was a man who held grudges, thus he would never forget how Qin Nan had condemned his saber intent.

Lin Ci nodded as they both opened the paper.

“Heart-Protecting Magical Mirror!”

“Demonic Vein Art!”

The duo uttered a grunt executing their artifact and Monarch Art, boosting their defense tremendously, giving them the confidence as they lowered their head.

BANG!

They experienced a great explosion in their minds.

Battle!

Battle! Battle! Battle!

Their ears were filled with countless roars, as if several warriors had appeared before them, each carrying a tremendous battle intent charging in their direction. The number of warriors gradually increased, the battle intent growing stronger, like an ocean trying to devour them…

“Wake up!”

A roar could be heard at that instant.

Cui Lixu and Lin Ci immediately awakened. Even though the Heart-Protecting Magical Mirror and the Demonic Vein Art were still active, their foreheads were covered in sweat and their faces pale white as if they had just received a great impact, causing their figures to shiver while their eyes began to be filled with terror.

It was too frightening.

The boundless battle intent had been trying to devour them like a ferocious beast having its murderous mouth wide open.

“It seems like Cultivator Qin Nan’s saber intent is nothing ordinary, leaving Cui Lixu and Lin Ci in such a devastating state.” Wen Wu was utterly curious. She clearly knew that if she did not interfere, the duo would be left with serious injuries.

The crowd was utterly shocked. What exactly had they experienced from the saber intent?

“Feel free to take a look.” Qin Nan let out a smile as he opened the paper.

BANG!

A formidable battle intent swept the surroundings like a soaring dragon.

Even Wen Wu was startled. The crowd immediately executed their methods to protect themselves.

The words on the paper transformed the Void Kun Boat into a ferocious battlefield.

A moment later, the crowd recovered with astounded faces.

“That’s some incredible battle intent, I’ve never seen something like that in my life!”

“Such a pity, the strong saber intent means Cultivator Qin Nan surely has a terrifying saber, but we don’t have the chance to witness it.”

“Thank you, Cultivator Qin Nan. I think I’ve learned a great deal from it.”

“Battle, battle, battle, that’s the same with life, continue moving forward through battles!”

“I’m greatly convinced!”

Even Wen Wu was greatly impacted. Although she was a woman, she always saw herself as a warrior on a campaign to conquer the world. However, she finally understood the definition of battle after observing Qin Nan’s saber intent.

Never backing off no matter the challenges that lay ahead!

“Cheers!” Wen Wu raised her cup and emptied it.

“Cultivator Qin Nan, cheers!” The crowd chanted. Their gazes toward Qin Nan were different, with a hint of respect.

“Sure, thanks!” Qin Nan felt incredibly pleasant seeing the crowd’s reaction as he emptied the wine in his cup.

Although the gathering was held for the cultivators to share their saber arts, it had somehow become a competition between the geniuses from various factions.

So what if there was a core disciple?

So what if the crowd was trying to pick on him?

He had still managed to earn the crowd’s respect on his own, shattering the conspiracy set up for him.

It was how a man should behave! action

Following this, the crowd chatted pleasantly among each other while enjoying the tea and wine, discussing the strange news they had heard, their understanding of saber arts, etc. Even Wen Wu took part in the discussion despite her status, resulting in a lively atmosphere.

On the other hand, Lin Ci and Cui Lixu’s gazes toward Qin Nan were filled with a hint of terror as they recovered, not daring to stir any further trouble.

As dawn approached, the Void Kun Boat began to make its way back to the Heaven-Saber Sect.

The cultivators had learned a great deal from the gathering, thus they immediately returned to their residences.

“Cultivator Chen, here is my badge. Let’s discuss more about saber arts when we have the chance in the future.” Qin Nan gave Chen Buhui his badge before he left the place.

“Thanks!” Chen Buhui replied with a smile. He had made the right choice this time. Although it did not grant him a close relationship with Qin Nan, it had allowed him to make friends with him.

Qin Nan let out a smile as he departed for the Saber Art Pavilion to continue browsing the saber arts.

Although he had managed to point out the flaws of each cultivator at the gathering with his left eye of the Divine God of Battle and his Martial Skill Talent, there were things that surprised him as well from observing the saber intent, especially Wen Wu’s.

Therefore, it would be helpful to continue browsing the saber arts to gain a better understanding.

However, little did Qin Nan know that the disciples of the Heaven-Saber Sect soon knew what had happened at the gathering.

“Gasp, did you hear, Qin Nan totally conquered the crowd at the gathering!”

“I did, this Qin Nan is too terrifying, even Senior Brother Cui Lixu failed to suppress him!”

“Not only that! Qin Nan’s saber intent completely suppressed Cui Lixu and Lin Ci. He even nullified Senior Sister Wen Wu’s saber intent!”

“Damn, he managed to overcome Senior Sister Wen Wu’s saber intent? Are you kidding?”

“Why would I lie to you!”

The entire Heaven-Saber Sect was shocked.

The elders were surprised and furious upon hearing the news. They sensed a great danger knowing the Dragon Emperor Clan had such an outstanding talent, but they were not allowed to harm him despite the fact that it was the perfect opportunity to do so now!

Time gradually passed.

The people soon shifted their focus away.

This was because many had begun to prepare for the opening of the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain.

Finally, two days later, at noon, a piercing sound similar to the roar of a dragon echoed in the sky above the Heaven-Saber Sect.
