"I’ve already noticed this matter."
Luo Cheng nodded.
It turns out those two inner sect disciples of Fierce Cloud Sect.
Had co for Xiao Lie.
"Aside from the five disciples, it seems people from Sun Yingyang’s Sun Family have also gotten involved."
"Sun Yingyang! He’s here?"
Luo Cheng’s gaze turned cold, an intense killing intent causing the surrounding temperature to drop noticeably. Ah Mu shivered in response, startled. What kind of hatred could unleash such ferocious killing intent!
Luo Yao shook her head. "He didn’t co, just sent a few servants. But those five disciples are far from simple—they’re all middle-stage Awakening Vein experts, and two of them are at the sixth level of Awakening Vein!"
At this mont, Luo Yao cast a glance at Luo Cheng and asked, "Want to handle them for you?"
Luo Cheng shook his head. "No need to trouble you, Luo Yao Jie. I’ll handle it myself."
Luo Yao’s brows arched slightly. "Are you confident? One of them is a peak-stage sixth-layer Awakening Vein expert!"
Luo Cheng chuckled. "Even if I can’t kill them, retreating unscathed won’t be an issue."
By now, Luo Cheng no longer regarded middle-stage Awakening Vein experts as a threat.
With his fourfold Sword Intent and Xuanlong Technique, either one could easily crush a peak-stage sixth-layer Awakening Vein expert.
If both cards were played together, it would be an instant kill!
A complete and utter instant kill!
Seeing Luo Cheng so calm and composed, Luo Yao took a sip of tea, though her heart was full of surprise.
The more she got to know Luo Cheng, the more unfathomable he seed.
He could have sought her help, but chose not to.
That must an he had absolute confidence!
Yet she couldn’t understand where Luo Cheng’s confidence ca from.
The strength of a peak-stage sixth-layer Awakening Vein expert was multiples greater than that of an early-stage sixth-layer expert—it was a fundantal difference!
The two continued chatting for a while as the sky gradually darkened, and a pale moon erged.
Luo Cheng stood up. "Luo Yao Jie, could you arrange a cultivation room for ?"
Night had fallen, and Luo Cheng was eager to start practicing the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique.
He decided to stay overnight and leave tomorrow.
"Also..."
With a swipe of his finger, Luo Cheng brought out several chests of Essence Energy Pills, totaling over thirty thousand.
"This...?" Luo Yao looked puzzled.
Luo Cheng replied, "I need so Spirit Pills to replenish my essence and energy, as well as four-star Soul Crystals!"
With his cultivation improving, Luo Cheng’s absorption ability had greatly increased.
The over a hundred Soul Crystals he once carried were nearly depleted.
Luo Yao’s eyes flashed with surprise.
The last ti Luo Cheng was in Linjiang City, he had taken away more than a hundred Soul Crystals.
Awakening Vein experts could not use Soul Crystals directly for cultivation.
Yet he’d already needed to acquire more so soon!
Without asking further questions, Luo Yao smiled warmly. "With , you don’t need to pay."
Luo Cheng shook his head. "After I make it onto the Domain List, we’ll discuss that. I’ve accumulated a considerable fortune myself now."
Luo Yao had helped him multiple tis before, and most importantly, had leveraged her family’s resources, expended billions in wealth, and countless manpower to secure the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique for him.
This was already a monuntal debt!
Their relationship was purely cooperative. If he continued to demand favors endlessly, it would be excessively greedy.
That didn’t align with Luo Cheng’s character.
Luo Cheng resolved that before making it onto the Domain List and giving Luo Yao a reason to justify her efforts to her family, he would avoid accruing further debts to her.
"You truly aim to make it onto the Domain List." Luo Yao seed astonished.
Luo Cheng smiled and said, "When the ti cos, don’t forget your promise to commit yourself to , Luo Yao Jie."
"Little rascal, you’re still too young for that..."
Luo Yao chuckled gracefully, her charm captivating, and instructed Ah Mu to guide Luo Cheng to the cultivation room before personally preparing the Spirit Pills and Soul Crystals.
Nightsfall descended, the solitary moon high in the sky.
In a cultivation room within Lingyun Pavilion.
Luo Cheng sat cross-legged, flipping through the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique manual.
The four forms detailed in the manual were: Star Sinking! Reverse Moon! Earth Split! Sky Shatter!
"Wind, clouds, thunder, lightning; star, moon, earth, sky."
"It seems each form of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique represents a distinct force and realm! I can’t imagine what kind of person could create such a technique!"
Unable to contain his admiration, Luo Cheng voiced his thoughts.
To create such a sword technique requires profound mastery in each realm.
Only then could one draw from a wealth of expertise, amalgamate diverse forces, and craft the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique.
Luo Cheng was certain that whoever created this technique must have been an awe-inspiring and peerless swordsman!
"Let’s take a look at the fifth form first."
Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng settled his mind and began studying the cultivation thod for the fifth form, Star Sinking.
This sword form was as its na suggested—its sword montum overbearing, its force imnse and heavy. It was a powerful skill that pursued explosive force.
Once mastered, the sword’s montum would descend like starlight, its formidable sword aura capable of obliterating opponents!
"Star Sinking, Star Sinking..."
The sword art flowed through his thoughts repeatedly, as Luo Cheng lifted his gaze towards the vast night sky.
The night was inky black, the starlight dazzling bright.
The stars gathered as if forming a river, majestic and boundless.
As he beheld the radiant galaxy, Luo Cheng’s thoughts rged with it, the entire world reduced to the endless stars and the contents of the sword art. Gradually, he lost track of ti.
As the horizon began to lighten with dawn.
And the last star faded away.
Suddenly.
A gentle breeze swept by.
Luo Cheng opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly aglow with starlight. The Thunder Hidden Sword instantly unsheathed, striking out with a single slash.
Boom!
What appeared to be a simple slash erupted at the instant of descent, releasing an unstoppable explosive force. A cascading torrent of Sword Qi descended in the air, its montum crushing everything, shattering all!
Boom!
At the edge of the Practice Field, a Training Post representing the strength of an early-stage Awakening Vein expert was compressed by the overwhelming sword montum, bursting apart.
Fragnts were torn into countless pieces by the Sword Qi!
Buzz!
Still unsatisfied, Luo Cheng channeled his fourfold Sword Intent, his aura rising sharply.
"Star Sinking!"
With a shout, Luo Cheng unleashed the sword strike again, brimming with boundless explosive power.
Crack!
The entire Practice Field shook violently, and a Training Post symbolizing ultimate defense at the middle-stage of Awakening Vein showed an enormous sword mark, nearly split in two!
The powerful sword aura caused the air to ripple like water, its force imasurable.
"What a formidable sword form! Even a rudintary understanding yields power far surpassing the previous four forms! It’s nearly comparable to Divine Wind Absolute Kill—about sixty to seventy percent of its strength!"
Luo Cheng’s voice carried an undeniable excitent.
Originally, he’d only intended to attempt practicing it.
He hadn’t expected to successfully cultivate it within a single night.
After all, Star Sinking’s grade was at least that of a five-star sword technique, not sothing easily mastered.
Yet unexpectedly, everything went far smoother than he’d imagined.
In just one night, he’d advanced Star Sinking to the entry-level stage.
"Could it be due to the substantial boost in my Sword Intent and accumulated foundation?"
Luo Cheng contemplated the possibility.
It seed the most plausible explanation.
Sword Intent reflects a swordsman’s understanding of Sword Dao.
Enhancents in Sword Intent often affect every aspect of a swordsman, far beyond just their combat strength!
"It’s ti to set out!"
Glancing at the morning sky, Luo Cheng sheathed his sword.
Thinking of the five disciples pursuing him, along with the Sun Family mbers, his eyes glinted coldly:
"Actual combat is the best training. Perfect to test my edge on these people!"
With a cold sneer, Luo Cheng opened the courtyard gate and stepped out.
