65: Chapter 064 Emperor’s Sword Intent 65: Chapter 064 Emperor’s Sword Intent Witnessing the Sect Master even abandoning him, Zhou Yang’s complexion also turned extremely unsightly for a moment.

He harbored an almost twisted intention in his heart, but he still looked towards Zhou Yuntian with a glimmer of hope, towards the young master he had always served.

“You don’t need to look at me.

With your talent and realm, why should you be frightened by this man?

With his strength, at most he breaks through the fourth level; the rest is all reliant on external forces.

If you lack confidence in yourself, then what else is there to talk about?

Go and fight properly, do not disgrace me!”

Zhou Yuntian did not care about Zhou Yang’s life or death.

His mood was also extremely poor, as, given Zhou Yang’s strength, he still dared not make a move against Zhou Yan.

This scene was his own disgrace!

After the Family Head clarified this matter, he too felt utterly disgraced.

It was only then that he remembered Zhou Yan was actually just a weakling at the Second Level of Sword Qi.

He worried so much earlier; if he had known, he would have killed him first.

Then, what would the Family Head do after this man died?

Unfortunately, it had reached this point now, and there was no longer any opportunity.

He could only wait for his own Qi Column to split, and his talent to defeat him, and then he could use this to kill him.

In that case, the Zhou Family would have a truly remarkable genius, and they wouldn’t regard Zhou Yan as such a prized asset.

“Young master, have you given up on me too?

You know, the sword in Zhou Yan’s hand is exceptionally powerful, how can I fight against him?

Three swords?

With one sword, I would surely lose my life!

For so many years, I fought for you through life and death, is this how you treat me?

How is this different from how you felt the Family Head was unjust towards you?”

Zhou Yang burst out laughing, his psyche suddenly flooded by various negative emotions.

“How dare you!

What are you, to point fingers at me?

You are just a lackey by my side.

If not for following me, could you have today’s status?

Perhaps you should still be living with the beasts in the outer courtyard?

Ungrateful!”

Zhou Yuntian shouted coldly, his demeanor so intense that he harbored killing intent towards Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yan felt a slight shift within but did not show any abnormality.

He clearly sensed Zhou Yang’s boundless hatred, although it was very well concealed.

Ever since Zhou Yuntian spoke those words, this hatred had become particularly intense.

“Hahaha, Young Master Zhou Yuntian, it was I, Zhou Yang, who overreached in following you!

Zhou Yan, come at me if you are going to strike; I don’t believe I am definitely no match for you today!”

Zhou Yang descended into madness, but Zhou Yan felt little about it.

Zhou Yan did not fear Zhou Yang, nor did he worry about being defeated by his frenzy, for his realm of the Second Level of Sword Qi was already progressing steadily.

If not for worrying about others noticing the drastic change in his Qi Column, he would already be at the Sword Energy Three Realms!

Furthermore, Zhou Yan felt that his understanding of the Xingyi Dragon Form Swordsmanship’s first stance had achieved Great Perfection, and this perfection significantly enhanced his combat strength.

At this point, he could have nearly instantly killed Zhou Yang previously.

Now, Zhou Yang was still injured and not fully healed, while he himself was in peak condition, truly no need for a second sword.

However, Zhou Yan made only a simple move, from Zhou Yang’s hatred, Zhou Yan took more considerations.

He did not plan to kill Zhou Yang.

The moment Zhou Yuntian abandoned Zhou Yang, Zhou Yan had this idea—to let them “fight amongst themselves.”

To Zhou Yuntian, Zhou Yan would surely kill Zhou Yang at this moment; Zhou Yang was a useless dead man now.

“I respect that you still have some fighting spirit.

I will not use the Secret Treasure, and with my self-mastered swordsmanship, I’ll strike three swords.

See if you can handle them!”

Zhou Yan said faintly, after a moment of silence.

“Not using the Secret Treasure?

Your self-mastered swordsmanship?

Good, it seems I, Zhou Yang, am still fortunate enough to experience this.

I truly didn’t expect this!”

Zhou Yang’s expression was madly jubilant, almost manically, but his heart was likely not pleased at all!

His strongest reliance betrayed him at a critical moment, but his enemy still followed the rules of combat, not using his utmost ability to kill him instantly.

This comparison suddenly stirred his heart a bit.

“It can only be said that you were too arrogant.

If it were not for offending me and all related to the Zhou Family of Canglan City, would I make things difficult for you now?

Be responsible for your own actions!

Strike!”

Zhou Yan said coldly.

“Fine!

Watch the sword!”

Zhou Yang spoke no more, his entire aura suddenly condensed into an intangible Sword Intent, a likewise exceptionally formidable Sword Intent, carrying a trace of an ancient killing aura.

This was a lonely, icy Sword, and at this moment, Zhou Yang seemed to be immersed in such a Sword Intent, so much so that his huge black sword took on an indescribable majesty!

Facing such Sword Intent, Zhou Yan felt an infinite sense of oppression in his heart!

His soul was mighty, his physical body had been constantly tempered by such soul energy and was extremely remarkable, yet facing this Sword Intent alone, Zhou Yan still found it somewhat difficult to breathe.

But he wasn’t afraid, the regular twelve meridians and the Eight Mysterious Meridians within him surged with soul energy, stirring up a massive soul power, while the Sword Qi within his Sword Intent meridians also began to condense and churn.

The combination of the two energies formed an invisible Sword Intent between heaven and earth.

This time, Zhou Yan didn’t utilize the inherent might of the Silver Snow Sword.

Instead, he used his own Soul Power to resonate with the Sword Intent, launching the Xingyi Dragon Form Swordsmanship — True Canglong Sword!

A virtual shadow that seized the brilliance of heaven and earth suddenly appeared.

It wasn’t as powerful as before, but still, a golden Five Clawed Golden Dragon shadow emerged, although this time, only the shadow of a claw was displayed.

Yet, this claw, about ten meters in size, brought a terrifying sensation as if a small mountain was falling directly overhead.

This aura, this strength, and this divine might, even as Zhou Yang wielded such a sword, still left his face somewhat pale.

Such a sword gave him the feeling of facing a Sword God, making him totally dare not strike again.

His sword trembled woefully in his hand, seemingly restless as if it recognized its master.

Shock filled his heart; his face drastically changed.

Was this…

a sign of the Emperor Qi Sword Body?

Could it be, is he about to reach Dual Qi Pillars with three Qi Sections each?

Had he really touched the threshold of the Emperor Qi Sword Body?

Zhou Yang was horrified inside.

He dared not fight back — not because his moves lacked the power of the opponent, but because the opponent’s Emperor-like aura from the Emperor Qi Sword Body gave him an overwhelming sense of oppression.

His strength was already damaged, while the opponent seemed to be in a peak state.

With this consumption and growth, he had no confidence to take this move, so the only thing he could do was to desperately evade!

With his capabilities focusing purely on evasion, such a sword move was naturally hard to hit, a gap in realms being the difference.

Without using the Silver Snow Sword, speed was Zhou Yan’s weak point.

But Zhou Yan was utterly indifferent to all this; his soul power fluctuated between heaven and earth.

His sensing power sensed changes all around, and the mountain-like Sword Intent derivation executed a move that not only scattered Zhou Yang’s Sword Intent but also forced Zhou Yang to retreat hundreds of meters, his face growing even more pale.

He indirectly caught this move, which avoided most of the Sword Intent impact.

At this moment, Zhou Yan launched a second move!

“Buzz~”

A vibration that seemed to shake both heaven and earth appeared instantly, without a condensing process, this scene appeared even faster.

Zhou Yan’s hand suddenly reached for his waist where the Broken Worry Sword lay.

A flash of light passed, and the Broken Worry Sword fiercely chopped towards Zhou Yang’s neck, a faint golden brilliance at the tip of the blade, like a whiplash.

Startled by the speed, Zhou Yang hastily blocked in a panic, and a mighty force fiercely blasted him away!

“Pff—”

As if struck by a large mountain, Zhou Yang’s heart violently shuddered.

He hadn’t expected that Zhou Yan’s sudden close-up strike would possess an incomparable immense physical strength, an explosive bodily strength.

This strike, though vaguely imbued with the air of the Emperor Qi Sword Body, the power bursting from Zhou Yan’s arm, could surpass even a Sword Heart Realm’s expert!

“Is he, is he also a ‘Sky Demon Sword Body’?

Naturally born with an incredibly strong physique, full of vigor and blood?!”

Struck by the sword, Zhou Yang spat out blood, his previous injuries exacerbated, causing him to nearly collapse.

Meanwhile, those like Zhou Cangmu who silently witnessed this scene, also showed shock in their gazes.

As for the gathered family disciples, they too were stunned!

In terms of combat ability, Zhou Yan’s combat prowess was only equivalent to a Sword Origin Second Layer Heaven or Third Layer Heaven expert, while Zhou Yang’s current combat strength, due to his injuries, was between the Sword Intent First Layer Heaven Peak Realm and Sword Intent Second Layer Heaven Initial Realm!

Yet Zhou Yan could still activate his body’s potential, bursting forth with the awe-inspiring Sword Intent, even bringing forth some control over the Sword Dao akin to the Emperor Qi Sword Intent, leaving Zhou Yang completely unable to battle, suppressed at every turn!

This was a live battle transcending Six Great Realms.

Saying Six Great Realms difference might be an exaggeration, but five realms, certainly enough!

Although Zhou Yang was not a genius, anyone who could mix with Zhou Yuntian couldn’t possibly be useless.

Zhou Yan’s combat capability, whether it was the elders of the Great Zhou Family or those second and third generation disciples, all cast awe and shock towards Zhou Yan.
