Xiao Ningyue, Zong Yuzhe, and the others were well aware that Tang Liren, just like Xiahou Lie, Lin Jingfeng, and others, were all eager to seize more treasure resources.
Although the treasure resources within this Inner Hall were considerable, they were ultimately limited, and if divided among dozens of people, each person’s share would inevitably be minimal.
Therefore, Xiahou Lie and Lin Jingfeng had forcefully urged everyone to leave the Inner Hall just now.
As for the other Half-Step Innate cultivators, although they didn’t speak up, they tacitly agreed; after all, no one would consider having too many treasure resources a problem.
This was exactly why, when Tang Liren offered a portion of his obtained treasure resources as a reward for killing Wang Ruoxie, Xiahou Lie and the others agreed without hesitation.
They had so understanding of Wang Ruoxie’s strength and could see that he too had reached the Half-Step Innate level.
Initially, they wouldn’t easily turn against each other until the last mont, because they knew very well that with their talent and strength, they had nearly reached the peak of Half-Step Innate level, with no certainty of defeating the others.
What’s more, with over a dozen Half-Step Innate experts present, no one knew what would happen once the fight began. It could lead to mutual slaughter, or a few might gang up on one, so no one dared to make a rash move.
However, Tang Liren’s words prompted Xiahou Lie, Lin Jingfeng, and others to join forces against Wang Ruoxie.
Even though Tang Liren’s promised reward might be empty words, they were still willing to act because if they joined forces and killed Wang Ruoxie, there would be one less person to compete for the resources, which was an opportunity too good to miss.
In fact, they only needed a reason to join forces; if soone had proposed killing Tang Liren in exchange for so treasure resources, they would likely have acted similarly.
At this mont, when Xiahou Lie and the others’ attacks were about to land on Wang Ruoxie, an overwhelming sword intent burst forth fiercely.
Like a storm, this sword intent shattered Xiahou Lie and the others’ attacks, forcing them to retreat.
In that instant, everyone had a peculiar sensation, as if Wang Ruoxie himself had transford into a sword.
"Is this... sword intent?"
Zong Yuzhe murmured, his face filled with shock.
Xiao Ningyue, Ruan Junhao, and even Tang Liren, Xiahou Lie, Lin Jingfeng, and others were thoroughly stunned.
Sword intent can only be ford when the realm of swordsmanship is comprehended to the perfection of Sword Heart Clarity.
A sword cultivator who masters sword intent has strength far beyond ordinary sword cultivators; in fact, only sword cultivators who grasp sword intent are considered true sword cultivators.
In his previous life, Wang Ruoxie’s swordsmanship had reached the level of Sword Heart Clarity, and now, after advancing his cultivation to the Ninth Layer of Elent Transformation Realm, he had finally reached the sa level of swordsmanship as in his past life.
It should be noted that in his previous life, he had already attained the cultivation of the Celestial Monarch Realm, and now he was only in the Ninth Layer of Elent Transformation Realm, not having even stepped into the Innate Realm.
This ans that at least in the Sword Dao, his future achievents will inevitably surpass those of his previous life.
"So what if he’s mastered sword intent? With our combined strength, killing him is like slaughtering a dog."
Xiahou Lie sneered and said.
He then attacked Wang Ruoxie with a punch once again, a violent red fla erupting from his fist, ultimately forming a Red Fla Fist Seal that lunged towards Wang Ruoxie.
Lin Jingfeng and the others charged at him simultaneously,
"Destruction Technique, slay!"
Wang Ruoxie uttered softly and then sliced with his sword.
The sword moved with his heart, and the heart moved with his intent, the sword intent instantaneously burst forth.
The sa Destruction Technique, when infused with sword intent, possessed far greater power than before.
At that mont, Wang Ruoxie was like a sword, an unparalleled, sharp sword capable of destroying everything.
Destruction Sword Intent, a sword intent Wang Ruoxie had realized based on the Destruction Technique, containing the profound aning of destruction, wielded extraordinary power.
"Boom..."
Amidst the thunderous noise, Wang Ruoxie’s sword intent completely clashed with the attacks from Xiahou Lie, Lin Jingfeng, and the others.
The next mont, with a few muffled grunts, Xiahou Lie, Lin Jingfeng, and the others were sent flying back.
They slid back more than ten steps before barely stabilizing their footing.
"How is this possible? How can he be so strong?"
Xiahou Lie wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, staring intently at Wang Ruoxie, unable to believe it.
Lin Jingfeng and the others were also shocked. All of them were top-level among Half-Step Innate, and they could probably contend with even an ordinary First Layer Innate.
However, Wang Ruoxie easily repelled them with just a single sword strike.
"Is this the power of sword intent? So strong!"
Zong Yuzhe, Ruan Junhao, and the others’ eyes trembled slightly, thinking to themselves.
Xiao Ningyue, who had initially been worried, had her expression replaced by a faint smile.
She could also discern that Wang Ruoxie, with his mastery of sword intent, had surpassed Xiahou Lie, Lin Jingfeng, and the others in strength, and even if they joined forces, they were still no match for Wang Ruoxie.
"Everyone, you all saw that his strength has surpassed ours. If we don’t eliminate him first, I’m afraid we’ll never obtain these treasure resources."
Xiahou Lie’s eyes flickered as he spoke to Su Lian’Er and the other Half-Step Innate experts who hadn’t yet acted.
Hearing his words, Su Lian’Er and the others directed their gaze towards Wang Ruoxie, their eyes revealing strands of cold killing intent.
"Tang Liren, since you have a grudge against him, you should also take action."
Turning his gaze, Xiahou Lie spoke to Tang Liren.
"Everyone, let’s join forces. Once we deal with him, we can divide the treasure resources among us."
Lin Jingfeng also spoke up.
"Su Lian’Er, you go and restrain him first."
Xiahou Lie said to Su Lian’Er.
"Alright."
Su Lian’Er nodded, and then she took out a completely erald-green Ancient Flute, engraved with various inscriptions, shining with a faint light.
Without any hesitation, Su Lian’Er brought the Ancient Flute to her lips, and as her lips lightly moved, a lodious and clear flute sound echoed into Wang Ruoxie’s ears.
However, the flute sound seed to contain a srizing power, making Wang Ruoxie feel as though he had returned to the Celestial Court of his past life.
Before him was his long-missed Celestial Emperor father, looking at him with a gentle smile.
In the next mont, the scene shifted, and he found himself on Demon Suppression Mountain.
At this mont, he was surrounded by countless celestial experts, and before him stood a woman with an unparalleled visage.
This woman was Wang Ruoxie’s previous life’s fiancée, the Profound Lady.
"Ruoxie, don’t hate . One day, you will understand everything."
The Profound Lady spoke sorrowfully to Wang Ruoxie, and then she pierced his body with the Demon-slaying Sword.
"Ah..."
Wang Ruoxie roared skyward, and the scene instantly shattered, bringing him back to the Inner Hall.
"You shouldn’t have done that, you shouldn’t have made rember those things."
Wang Ruoxie’s gaze fixed firmly on Su Lian’Er, and he slowly uttered cold words.
