Chapter 114: Chapter 87: Holding the Three-foot Cyan Sword, Slaying Evil Objects Until Blood Falls Like Rain!

"Boss, please take a seat."

Just as Mu Xiaoye walked to the front row, the lackeys who had exited the dungeon before her immediately gave up a prime spot for her. Mu Xiaoye sat down without hesitation.

The students from other schools in the back stared at Mu Xiaoye’s back as she sat in the center of the first group. They finally understood why their friends from First High School would pale at the mere mention of her name. It was for no other reason than the fact that Mu Xiaoye had ruthlessly "educated" them.

However, compared to Mu Xiaoye, they were currently much more focused on Lu Chen, who was still inside the examination dungeon. This was because what Lu Chen was about to do was a feat no one had ever attempted since the Alien Race Battlefield Joint Examination Dungeon was created!

Looking at Lu Chen on the screen, who was about to reach the lair of the Nine Nether Evil Objects, everyone shared the same doubt. How did Lu Chen, a mere Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, have the audacity to challenge a Foundation Establishment Fifth Level member of the Nine Nether Royal Family, a Foundation Establishment Third Level Giant Force Horned Insect, and a massive horde of elite Evil Objects at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Level and above?! If he could truly pull this off, why was he even still in high school? He might as well report directly to a Daoist School!

In the ruins of Jade Mountain City, at the Nine Nether Tree.

The Gold-devouring Ant-man, who had already stepped to the edge of the tree canopy, watched Lu Chen walking through the air and glanced at the Giant Force Horned Insect beside it. The Giant Force Horned Insect nodded in understanding. A massive pair of transparent insect wings immediately unfurled from the cracked armor on its back.

"Follow me!"

As the Giant Force Horned Insect took to the sky, over fifty Golden Patterned Ant-men beneath the tree immediately followed suit. Led by the Giant Force Horned Insect, they charged toward Lu Chen in mid-air.

[Golden Patterned Ant-man]

[Race: Nine Nether]

[Power: Qi Cultivation Sixth Level]

[Features: A special humanoid ant with astonishing strength.]

Naturally, Lu Chen took in every detail of the movements of the Giant Force Horned Insect and the other Evil Objects from mid-air. He knew before coming here that if he wanted to face the Gold-devouring Ant-man, he first had to get past its subordinates. Before he acquired the Dragon Transformation Sword Intent, let alone the Gold-devouring Ant-man, just the Giant Force Horned Insect and its swarm of Golden Patterned Ant-men would have been enough to give him a run for his money. However, after acquiring the Dragon Transformation Sword Intent, ordinary Evil Objects at the Qi Cultivation Stage... were truly no different from mere ants in his eyes.

Watching the Giant Force Horned Insect drawing closer in the air, the Twelve Cyan Lotuses in Lu Chen’s pupils began to spin continuously. Immediately after, he placed his hand on the Three-foot Cyan Sword at his waist. An indescribable aura began to gather around him.

In response, the Giant Force Horned Insect also tightened its grip on its massive black broadsword with both hands. After all, for someone to dare charge into the stronghold of the Nine Nether Evil Objects alone, this Human Race Cultivator either had absolute confidence in his power, or he was a complete fool. But they had already slaughtered all the fools during their city-wide sweeps over the past few days. Therefore, Lu Chen could only be the former.

Thus, even though Lu Chen outwardly only displayed a Cultivation base at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, the Giant Force Horned Insect didn’t dare to be the slightest bit negligent. Not only had it brought a large number of elite Evil Objects to meet the challenge, but out of caution, it had also activated its Talent Superpower, Giant Power, right from the very beginning. Although Giant Power wasn’t exactly a unique ability, for the inherently mighty Giant Force Horned Insect, this Superpower could amplify its strength advantage to an astonishing degree! In terms of raw physical strength alone, even the Gold-devouring Ant-man, a member of the Royal Family, would be inferior to it in its current state. Because of this, as long as it could land a hit—just one single strike—it had absolute certainty that it could hack this audacious Lu Chen to death with a single slash!

Unfortunately, it was destined never to swing that slash.

In mid-air, just as the Giant Force Horned Insect and its swarm closed within twenty meters of Lu Chen, the hand Lu Chen had resting on his hilt finally moved.

"Gathering water... forms an abyss."

BOOM!

Darkness, endless darkness, and... bone-piercing cold. At this moment, the fifty-plus Evil Objects, including the Giant Force Horned Insect, felt as if they had instantly plummeted into an unknown abyss. Inside this abyss, they could perceive neither the passage of time nor any signs of life. All that existed was an indescribable terror. And this terror stemmed not just from the unknown, but also from... a pair of icy eyes lurking in the endless abyss. Before those colossal eyes, they were as insignificant as ants on the ground. Their bodies dared not move, nor could they. Apart from gazing up in awe, they were entirely helpless.

"Wh-what is that?!" it thought in terror. The Giant Force Horned Insect stared at the behemoth in horror, repeatedly trying to force its body into motion to escape this terrifying, profound, and endless abyss. But its body felt as though it belonged to someone else. Let alone turning to flee, it lacked the courage to even turn its head. Because those massive eyes in the abyss... had already locked onto it.

Amidst the Giant Force Horned Insect’s despair, those colossal eyes slowly closed. The next second, an overwhelming water pressure crushed it from all directions. In the final moments of its life, the Giant Force Horned Insect finally caught a faint glimpse of the true form of the entity behind those terrifying eyes.

"I-it’s just a claw...?" it thought.

BOOM!

As the massive claw clenched shut, the Giant Force Horned Insect’s body instantly exploded into a shower of blood. And it wasn’t just it; the Golden Patterned Ant-men beside it similarly fell victim to the colossal claw, bursting into a mist of blood.

In the eyes of everyone else watching, Lu Chen hadn’t actually made any unnecessary movements. He had merely swung his sword once as the horde of enemies closed in. Yet, as that single strike fell, it transformed into a gigantic Flood Dragon claw that materialized out of thin air from his blade, and swept violently toward the Giant Force Horned Insect and its forces. For some unknown reason, facing the relatively slow-moving Flood Dragon claw, the Giant Force Horned Insect and its subordinates simply stood frozen in place, utterly motionless, allowing the Flood Dragon claw to obliterate them in a single blow.

With one strike of the sword, a hundred evils perished.

Such a scene not only shocked the Gold-devouring Ant-man atop the Nine Nether Tree, but also stunned the Teachers in the conference room.

"H-how is this possible! How could he have comprehended Sword Intent?!" Watching Lu Chen unleash Sword Intent, all the Teachers stood up in utter shock. The average person might not have understood why the Giant Force Horned Insect stopped, but for these Daoist School Teachers with their wealth of theoretical knowledge, they instantly saw through the true nature of Lu Chen’s strike. Sword Intent. This was absolutely, without a doubt, Sword Intent! Because only someone who had mastered Sword Intent could condense their intent into presence! The reason the Giant Force Horned Insect and the others had stopped in their tracks was because they were suppressed by Lu Chen’s... presence.

With the Three-foot Cyan Sword in hand, he slew the Evil Objects until their blood rained down. Lu Chen’s strike didn’t just cleave the physical bodies of the Evil Objects inside the dungeon; it also struck the hearts of the Teachers outside.

The Qi Cultivation Stage, and Sword Intent... When these two concepts were combined, the way they looked at Lu Chen completely changed. If they had previously just considered him a junior with astonishing talent, then after this sword strike, Lu Chen had become a senior who had walked far ahead of them in their eyes. After all, not a single person in this room had mastered Sword Intent! Could this Lu Chen... possibly be the reincarnation of a Sword Immortal?! Otherwise, how could he have comprehended Sword Intent at the Qi Cultivation Stage, when countless others couldn’t grasp it even after exhausting their entire lives?!

PS: Sixth day of writing ten thousand words completed... I can’t take it anymore, staying up late like this is really going to kill me! Starting tomorrow, I, Pang Hu, will absolutely, positively finish writing before 10 PM!!!
