33: Chapter 032 The Oppressive Blade 33: Chapter 032 The Oppressive Blade Xiao Ye found himself in a world of endless saber light, with each beam dancing like flas.
“Pressure!” Xiao Ye’s eyes shone as he felt that oppressive sensation again.
“Is this what they call the Martial Arts True Intent?”
Xiao Ye held his breath and concentrated, trying to experience it in detail.
But soon, he furrowed his brows.
“How exactly does one comprehend the Martial Arts True Intent?” Xiao Ye had no clue, as his gaze t nothing but the endless saber light.
Swoosh!
Just as Xiao Ye was feeling sowhat vexed, his expression suddenly changed because the True Qi in his body was depleting at a terrifying rate.
The Fla Saber turned into a black hole, relentlessly devouring the True Qi within him.
Even with his True Qi being far more robust than others, it was quickly running out.
“Is this saber ssing with ?” Xiao Ye felt like crying, but no tears ca.
Boom!
At that mont, the boundless saber light disappeared, and a tall and majestic man suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Ye.
The man’s face was unclear, holding a dominant large saber in hand, standing tall within this world with an air of overlooking all else.
“That’s the Fla Saber!” Xiao Ye’s gaze was glued to the dominant saber, his heart pounding, “Could this person be the original owner of the Fla Saber, that strong figure from the Xuanwu Realm?”
He even felt a familiar fluctuation of True Qi on the man.
That True Qi was exactly what was being devoured by the Fla Saber.
“It seems the Fla Saber has devoured my True Qi to summon the previous owner’s shadow,” Xiao Ye speculated.
Whoosh!
Right then, the tall man raised the Fla Saber high and brought it down with a vertical slash, brilliant saber light glowing in the void.
Xiao Ye’s pupils contracted violently.
With that slash, the tall man wielded the power of Heaven and Earth, making the entire space bear down oppressively, the intensity of that pressure causing Xiao Ye to break out in a cold sweat.
The tall man appeared because he absorbed Xiao Ye’s True Qi.
This ant that the Cultivation and Realm of the tall man were equivalent to Xiao Ye’s.
However, facing that slash, Xiao Ye couldn’t dodge it.
If a real battle ensued, he would certainly be killed by one strike.
“This slash must contain the Martial Arts True Intent!” Xiao Ye beca excited, as he could not think of any other explanation.
Xiao Ye quickly focused again on the tall man, full of anticipation.
Whoosh!
This ti, the tall man with the Fla Saber moved once more, preparing to execute a second slash.
The second slash contained even more of the Martial Arts True Intent than the first, like a volcano about to erupt.
The Fla Saber hadn’t even struck down, and Xiao Ye’s heart was already racing.
Boom!
As soon as the Fla Saber was slashed down, the tall man’s figure trembled violently, then turned into ashes and dissipated into the void.
“Why has it disappeared?” Xiao Ye was astounded.
He thought for a mont and quickly figured out the reason.
“The second slash contains more Martial Arts True Intent.
My current True Qi isn’t enough to let him perform the second slash,” Xiao Ye shook his head.
It was normal, after all, the tall man’s manifestation of Martial Arts True Intent needed his True Qi as support.
“It seems I need to elevate my Cultivation to watch the second slash,” Xiao Ye muttered to himself, his excitent returning, “But this first slash is already enough for to use now.”
The resplendent power contained within the saber light was deeply etched in his mind.
As long as he could master it, with just this slash, he could easily sweep through his peers and fight across levels.
By then, combined with the Twelve ridians Postnatal Technique, his strength would soar to a terrifying level.
As the tall man’s figure disappeared, Xiao Ye also left that world and returned to his room.
Xiao Ye circulated the Heavenly Net Technique to replenish the lost True Qi, restoring himself to peak condition.
“That slash…” Then Xiao Ye picked up the Fla Saber, his mind replaying the scene where the tall man executed the first slash.
Whoosh!
Xiao Ye lifted the Fla Saber, attempting to mimic the slash, but it carried none of the montum, ordinary and unimpressive.
The essence of the tall man’s slash was that it contained Martial Arts True Intent, a slash that compressed space itself, creating imnse suppression and restraint on the enemy.
“I must learn that slash,” determination shone in Xiao Ye’s eyes.
Then, holding the Fla Saber, he began to practice arduously in his room.
Clearly, the Martial Arts True Intent contained within the first slash was only the most superficial layer.
If he couldn’t even comprehend the first slash, there was no point in considering the later ones.
After a day passed, Xiao Ye was panting heavily, a wry smile on his face.
During that day, he had tried to imitate the tall man, slashing at least a thousand tis, yet he hadn’t even grazed the surface of the Martial Arts True Intent.
“What should I do?” Xiao Ye suppressed the impatience in his heart, sat cross-legged on the bed, channeling True Qi into the Fla Saber, and entered its world once again.
Swoosh!
The tall man appeared again, still only performing the first slash, then dispersing away.
“Now, my speed and trajectory of my slashes are indistinguishable from his, but I still can’t grasp the first slash,” Xiao Ye withdrew from the Fla Saber World, his consciousness entering the Tower of the World as he began to ponder.
Ti quietly elapsed, and half a month swiftly passed in the outside world, while five months had gone by inside the first level of the Ti Tower.
In these five months, Xiao Ye did not practice cultivation, focusing solely on comprehending the first saber technique.
Thankfully, as a Martial Artist of the Postnatal Realm who possesses True Qi within their body, one can avoid starvation despite not eating for an extended period.
Xiao Ye remained motionless, resembling a withered tree.
“Not right!”
“Not right!”
“Still not right!”
Xiao Ye imagined that saber strike in his mind.
“I have been on the wrong path, focusing deliberately on the speed and trajectory of the saber strike, while neglecting the Suppression contained within that strike.” Xiao Ye suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing through his pupils.
With this realization, Xiao Ye exited the Ti Tower, grabbed the Fla Saber, leaped out of bed, pushed through the door, and stood firm in the courtyard with his eyes closed, like a statue.
“What is Mr.
Xiao doing?” Su Ying appeared in the distance, watching Xiao Ye.
During this period, Xiao Ye had been in secluded hard practice, without allowing any disturbance.
Even though she lingered outside his room every day, today she finally saw Xiao Ye erge from his room.
“Mr.
Xiao must be cultivating; I cannot disturb him.” Su Ying thought to herself and then stood from afar, a gentle smile on her lips as she gazed at Xiao Ye’s face.
Three hours passed, and Xiao Ye suddenly moved, startling Su Ying awake.
Swish, swish, swish!
Xiao Ye brandished the Fla Saber in the yard at will, creating successive images of the saber cutting through the air.
“Mr.
Xiao’s saber technique, why does it seem so unstructured?” Su Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, a flicker of confusion appearing in her clear spring-like eyes.
Although she was a woman, having been born in one of the three great families, the Su Family, she had considerable insight into Martial Arts.
In her view, even a servant of the Su Family executing saber techniques would outmatch Xiao Ye by a vast margin.
“That’s right, Mr.
Xiao cos from humble origins; he probably doesn’t have a proper Saber Technique, so he has to figure it out by himself.” Su Ying, with a beautiful and pitiful expression, thought, “Later I will ask my father for a set of Saber Technique Combat Techniques for Mr.
Xiao.”
Of course, Xiao Ye was unaware of Su Ying’s thoughts.
“How foolish I’ve been, that saber strike embodies Martial Arts True Intent, any manner of strike would suffice, there is no need for to mimic the exact trajectory.” Realizing this, Xiao Ye felt a surge of elation within him.
At this mont, he was completely relaxed, entering a transcendent state where his mind was void of distractions, simply enjoying swinging the Fla Saber freely, without any fixed form.
As ti went on, the Fla Saber in his hands swayed faster and faster, with layers of saber light rging into one, tearing through the air and causing it to howl.
Suddenly, his hand movents congealed, and then he slowly lifted the saber above his head and slashed down.
This movent, one he had practiced countless tis, now appeared to Su Ying, who was watching from a distance, as if it had harnessed the power of Heaven and Earth, compressing the entirety of the world towards her.
Fear covered Su Ying’s beautiful face, and her shoulders shivered.
Ah!
As Xiao Ye’s saber struck down without the infusion of True Qi, brilliant saber light illuminated the area.
“I’ve finally mastered it!” Xiao Ye’s eyes opened, excitent sparkling within.
It took this long period of arduous practice and his insights from the Fla Saber World for him to perfect the first saber technique.
“What I’ve begun to comprehend must be the Fla Martial Arts True Intent,” Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered.
On the records of the Black Dragon Country, there were scraps of information about Martial Arts True Intent.
The Martial Arts True Intents of the True Spirit Continent were manifold, and mastering just one could give Martial Artists a chance to step into the Xuanwu Realm.
The previous owner of the Fla Saber, a Xuanwu Realm powerhouse, had comprehended the Fla True Intent, which Xiao Ye learned from the writings left behind by that frustrated fallen Innate Martial Artist.
The hallmark of one’s initial understanding of Martial Arts True Intent is the ability to evoke the force of Heaven and Earth to overwhelm others, with a casual strike creating trendous pressure.
Of course, since the Fla Saber is a Xuan Artifact, using it to perform Martial Arts True Intent would greatly increase its power.
“This saber strike, I shall call it the Suppression Saber!” Xiao Ye got excited.
That fallen Innate Realm powerhouse had been bold and talented, but despite twenty years of intense practice, he couldn’t even touch the surface of Martial Arts True Intent, which speaks to the difficulty of mastering it.
Yet Xiao Ye had not only comprehended it but also integrated it into his attack.
Without needing to expend True Qi, just with the Suppression Saber alone, he could sweep away any peer and remain invincible.
At this mont, Xiao Ye was awakened by a noise nearby and turned his attention there.
“Miss Su?” Xiao Ye was taken aback, seeing Su Ying staggering backward, her face filled with shock.
At this mont, Xiao Ye’s aura had undergone a change, filled with a type of ‘force’ that imposed a feeling of suppression on others.
“Are you alright?” Xiao Ye caught hold of Su Ying, and when his palm touched her smooth skin, both their bodies trembled.
“Mr.
Xiao, I’m fine,” Su Ying quickly shook her head.
The next mont, Xiao Ye’s words sunk her heart to the bottom.
“That’s good, I must leave now,” Xiao Ye spoke slowly.
He had achieved his purpose in coming to Wutan City, and continuing to stay was no longer aningful.
Besides, with his current strength, although there was still a gap between him and Blood Wolf, he was now capable of protecting himself, and naturally, he would return to Green Sun Town.
