My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved

Chapter 50: The Great Way is Extremely Simple

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

The night passed.

When Su Yang got up, Gu Xiu was already cultivating in the courtyard.

Gu Xiu was sitting cross-legged on the ground with Qi circulating around his body. He put his hands together and held a blood-colored stone.

As the Qi surged, the blood-red stone continued to shrink.

Seeing Su Yang come out, Gu Xiu also stopped cultivating and put away the blood-colored stone with a wave of his hand.

“Old Gu, what is this blood-red stone?” Su Yang asked proactively.

“This thing is called Blood Spirit Stone.” Gu Xiu explained,” This thing is a subsidiary product of the spirit stone mine. It’s contaminated by blood and Qi. Immortal cultivators can’t use it, but we martial artists can use it to cultivate.”

“This thing is very precious and is something that all martial cultivators in the world must fight for.”

Su Yang understood. Then, he washed up and went out. Gu Xiu followed behind him.

Today, Su Yang went to guard the streets like yesterday.

When they arrived at their seats, the ten soldiers of the Martial Suppression Division were already waiting at their designated spots on the street.

Su Yang was in charge of Flowing Wind Street. If there were any conflicts among cultivators, his role was to stop them. The other streets in the county were guarded by different people.

After Su Yang’s punishment yesterday, most of the wandering cultivators in the county city had left. With fewer people, disputes naturally wouldn’t occur easily.

As for those wandering cultivators fighting and killing each other outside the city, Su Yang didn’t need to worry about them.

“Lord Su.” Rong Xiaoshi said respectfully with the soldiers.

“Hmm, just maintain normal patrol duty,” Su Yang replied.

Then, he went to his personal space and began to swing his sword as usual. At the same time, he also controlled the sword intent around him so that Gu Xiu could observe.

Rong Xiaoshi and the others had seen it yesterday, so they were used to it. Gu Xiu, on the other hand, was also curiously observing Su Yang’s practice.

Sword techniques?

This genius’s cultivation was indeed different. At his level, who would still practice basic sword techniques?

While he was thinking, Gu Xiu came to a realization!

The great way was extremely simple, and sword techniques, as the foundation of sword cultivation, represented the beginning of a myriad of swords.

Any sword move or sword intent, no matter how powerful, originated from sword techniques.

In an instant, Gu Xiu had a new understanding and felt that his bottleneck had loosened a lot.

Truly deserving of someone who comprehended the third level of sword intent!

Next, he devoted himself to comprehending the sword intent.

This kind of opportunity was very rare. If Su Yang could let him observe, he would not waste any time. He sat cross-legged on the ground and used his body and mind to feel it.

Rong Xiaoshi looked at the old man that Su Yang brought over. He didn’t see anything special, but he didn’t dare to say anything since Su Yang brought him over. He just did his own thing and arranged for people to patrol the streets.

Nothing happened on Su Yang’s side for a day. However, many things happened outside the Tianfeng Prefecture capital.

After a thorough investigation of the entire Tianfeng Prefecture by a large number of wandering cultivators and imperial troops, the hidden Evil Blood Cultivation Sect of the cultivators finally revealed itself.

Disciples from the Iron Body Sect discovered the stronghold of the evil cultivator on Qingfeng Mountain and invited other wandering cultivators to join them. They gathered a hundred people and charged forward. The battle with the evil cultivators was about to start. In the end, they killed 43 evil cultivators, captured 13 alive, and three escaped.

In this battle, the young generation of experts showed their talents for the first time.

Hui Kong, the contemporary chief disciple of the Xuanshan Temple, had a third-grade cultivation level and mastered the Mighty Diamond Palm. In the battle, he used his palm to cover the sky and shattered the hiding place of the evil cultivators.

Zhang Lie, the contemporary chief disciple of the Fire Sword Sect, also had a third-grade cultivation level. He mastered the Fire Spirit Sword Art and possessed a layer of Fire Spirit Sword Intent. He fought against two third-grade evil cultivators without falling behind and even managed to kill one of them, securing victory.

Cao Kai, the contemporary chief disciple of the Golden Blade Sect, was also formidable with a third-grade cultivation level. He mastered the Golden Blade Technique. He successfully turned the tables and completely broke the defense of the evil cultivators.

At this point, countless evil cultivators escaped through the secret passage.

The wandering cultivators chased after them but could only watch as sixteen people managed to escape.

However, it didn’t take long for the disciples of the Moon Chasing Pavilion to return with thirteen heads. Among them, the head disciple of the Moon Chasing Pavilion, Li Qinglan, had taken six of them.

These evil cultivators were running in different directions, which showed how powerful Li Qinglan’s movement skills were.

In the end, only three people escaped.

With hundreds of wandering cultivators joining the pursuit, they still paled in comparison to the four top sects’ chief disciples. Even with over a hundred people, they were merely background figures.

Before the inheritance of the major sects, these lone cultivators and disciples of smaller sects couldn’t create much of a stir.

It was said that after the battle, the chief disciple of the Fire Sword Sect confronted Lu Lei from the Iron Body Sect.

He declared that if Lu Lei dared to withstand one of his strikes, he would forgive Lu Lei for his offense against the Fire Sword Sect. Otherwise, Lu Lei would have to admit that Iron Body Sect was trash.

Everyone knew that Lu Lei was not the one who offended the Fire Sword Sect first. However, the martial world was not a place to reason with you.

If you bully me, I might not be able to defeat you, but if you have no one backing you up, then you’re in trouble.

Because I have someone behind me!

These actions were all about personal connections and worldly affairs.

Lu Lei couldn’t bear the humiliation. Even with his four-grade cultivation, he stood up and was willing to take Zhang Lie’s sword.

As Zhang Lie’s sword strike fell, his sword intent and energy solidified, forming sword qi that slashed toward Lu Lei.

How could Lu Lei withstand it? He was severely injured on the spot and almost cut in half if it weren’t for Hui Kong from the Xuanshan Temple stepping in to intervene, narrowly preventing disaster.

One by one, Su Yang heard everything as dusk arrived.

Rong Xiaoshi and the other soldiers were very excited.

However, Su Yang didn’t feel much about it. He was more concerned about the thirteen evil cultivators who had been captured alive.

After all, there was no other use for capturing the evil cultivator alive other than for him.

As expected, as the news of the victorious battle on Qingfeng Mountain reached the county, Han Qiu sent people to find him.

“Old Gu, let’s go back.” Su Yang put away his sword and called out to Gu Xiu.

“Oh? Alright, alright…” Gu Xiu was happy. He originally thought that being able to observe Su Yang’s sword intent for fifteen minutes a day was already good, and even half an hour wouldn’t be unacceptable.

But the result was…A whole day!

He had one thought in his mind: he must hold onto this opportunity tightly. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he had a chance to step into the realm of Grandmaster!

Back at the Patrol Department, Su Yang asked Gu Xiu to stay by himself while he went to look for Han Qiu.

After they met, Han Qiu once again advised him, “Kid, do you really want to waste your accomplishments on venting your frustrations? You still have time to change your mind.”

Su Yang was helpless. He knew Han Qiu meant well, so he had to come up with a lie and said, “Sir, the reality is not like that. The main reason is that the sword intent I cultivate requires me to slay wicked individuals. When I kill these evil cultivators, I can better comprehend the sword intent.”

Upon hearing Su Yang’s explanation, Han Qiu finally felt somewhat reassured. Otherwise, he would have thought Su Yang had some issues with his mind.

“I’ll believe your reasoning for now. Let’s go. The demonic cultivators you requested are all locked up in the prison cells,” Han Qiu nodded and led Su Yang to the Martial Suppression Division.

On the way, Han Qiu also revealed more information to Su Yang.

This time, the chaos caused by the evil cultivators was very troublesome. In Qingfeng Mountain, they found a formation core of the Blood Sacrifice Formation.

In other words, the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect intended to offer a blood sacrifice to Tianfeng Prefecture.

The situation had gradually become serious. The higher-ups had dispatched Grandmasters, and the Grandmasters of the four sects were also on their way.

This time…. Tianfeng Prefecture was in extreme danger!
