Chapter 85: Practice

d Refinement cultivator"Su Xin, what brings you to me today" The Palace Master of Emperor Moon Palace asked."Master, I want to return to my family for a trip. Su Xin wants to make his intentions known..."Tan the Three Brothers!"

"Tan brother, what's the matter"

The two newcomers apparently haven't figured out the situation yet.

“Mu elder brother, Liu elder brother, when I joined Hushan Prefecture, I said that I had enemies in the world. I originally thought that as long as I avoided them and hid here, things would come to an end, but I didn't expect that my enemy still refused to give up and came looking for me,” Tan San said.

"Enemy"

These two looked at Su Xin, "Just a Void Initial Stage"

Don't look at his low cultivation level, but his strength is extremely powerful. Just a brief exchange with me, I was completely at a disadvantage," Tam said.

"A Void Realm initial stage cultivator, you're not even his match"

The two of them were startled. "Could it be disciples of the Heavenly Flame Palace"

In the eyes of these two, the entire Tianyan Empire could only contend with a peak-stage Void Breaker using an initial-stage Void Breaker cultivation base, as was rumored to be possible only by disciples of the legendary Tianyan Palace.

"Two of you, this is my personal grudge, it has nothing to do with Hushan Prefecture. You two don't have to worry about it," Tan San gritted his teeth, putting on an appearance of seeing death as home.

"Joke, the three brothers Tan, you are a guest scholar of my Hu Shan Mansion. When you are in trouble, how can Hu Shan Mansion ignore it," one said.

"You're right, Brother Tan, rest assured. This is within the sphere of influence of our Lake Mountain Manor. Even if he truly is a disciple of the Heavenly Flame Palace, our Lake Mountain Manor wouldn't fear him. The other bald old man then coldly looked at Su Xin.

Hushan Prefecture boasts deep roots even within the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty. Although there are no Nirvana Realm powerhouses residing there currently, Hushan Prefecture has connections with many powerful factions in the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, including several prominent figures. There are even rumors circulating that a royal official stands behind Hushan Prefecture.

With such a powerful ally, Hu Shanfu, though wary of provoking the Tianyan Palace disciples, would not be afraid if they were attacked by them.

"Two of you, in my opinion, the three of us might as well join forces. First, let's capture this kid and figure out his identity before we talk," the bald old man said.

Tan San and the others all nodded in agreement.

"The three of you, go up together." Su Xin chuckled.

Tan San was alone, and he was still somewhat unsatisfied.

Three experts at the peak of their powers, working together, are actually even better.

"Arrogant!"

The bald old man roared, and the three of them immediately made their move.

And Su Xin also directly drew his sword.

BOOM!!

With a single sword strike, he unleashed an unstoppable force of boundless thunder and fire.

Buzz buzz ~~~ The air around instantly heated up, becoming unbearably hot, as if trapped in a sea of flames.

And as sword intent surged, the thunderous fire swept through, layer upon layer pressing down on the air, instantly acting on Tan San's three people.

Even before the longsword came down, the sheer might of its pressure made it incredibly difficult for the three to move.

"Such terrifying sword intent!!"

"Is the sheer might of sword intent swirling around this strong"

To what extent has he reached in terms of aesthetic comprehension

A look of astonishment filled the eyes of the three Tam Sans.

One had no idea until they clashed. The moment the sword intent surged, its sheer power was immense and put unimaginable pressure on them.

And Su Xin's Qingwu Divine Sword was already surging, carrying the might of thunder, hacking and slashing continuously.

Every sword strike followed another, each one with unrestrained ferocity.

"Let's strike together!"

Tan San, along with two others, joined forces and did everything they could to withstand the terrifying sword shadows that came slashing towards them.

Even so, under the frantic onslaught of that sword shadow, the three were still completely suppressed.

This is the sword intent reaching the second level, Lei Huo Juan. Su Xin wielded his divine sword continuously, and his eyes held a hint of excitement.

The Blazing Tempest, by nature, possesses overwhelming offensive power. It's a terrifying sword technique that relies on sheer pressure and dominance over the opponent.

Before, Su Xinjian's sword intent wasn't too profound, and when he unleashed it, there wasn't much to it. But now that his sword intent has reached the second level, the power of his Thunderfire Scroll at full strength is truly formidable.

The sheer might emanating from all directions is simply terrifying.

Also, thankfully, Tan San and his companions were three people working together. If it were just Tan San alone, under mere intimidation, he would probably be unable to move and could only be slaughtered at will.

Now that the three of them are working together, they can at least manage to hold their own.

But, it was only struggling.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Waves of ferocious sword shadows, like the fury of thunder, swept out wildly.

Three people were pressed down by the sword shadow, their figures retreating again and again, suffering unbearably.

After dozens of consecutive sword strikes, Su Xin's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Blazing Fury Secret Technique!"

"Heaven's Thunder Descends, Swordsmanship - Kirin!"

Wow!

The longsword slashed, imbued with boundless lightning, like a bolt from the heavens.

Tan San and the three others fought with all their might, but the next moment...

"Pff!" "Pff!" "Pff!"

Three mouths simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, their bodies blasting backward.

"Almost done. Su Xin's gaze also became cold."

In a brief exchange, he had brought his swordsmanship and sword intent to near perfection.

He now has a grasp of his own abilities.

And next, comes the final test.

"Innate Divine Abilities… Bloodline, Intimidation!!"

Su Xin's eyes flashed with fierce light, and the power of his blood coursed through him, reaching its peak at this moment.

Hummmmm.

An intangible, unseen force swept across the area.

This kind of power ignores any defense and is not hindered in any way, directly acting on those three Tan San.

Although the three of them, Tan San and his companions, had been severely injured by Su Xin in the recent fierce battle, their consciousness was still remarkably clear. But suddenly… this unique, life-level aura struck them with such force that all three widened their eyes in shock.

They only felt an instinctive dread and trembling.

Their three minds and thoughts involuntarily came to a halt at this moment.

My mind is blank!

Everything came to a standstill.

And Su Xin drew his sword in an instant.

A hazy and beautiful sword light, like a fleeting orchid blossom, flashed and vanished.

Trapped in a state of 'conscious suspension', Tan San and his companions didn't react at all. The sword light had already swept past their necks.

"Plop!" "Plop!" "Plop!"

The three bodies fell at the same time, their faces still etched with expressions of astonishment.

They had no idea what was happening; their brains were completely blank when they died.

This talent was even more terrifying than I had imagined. Su Xin stood before the corpses of Tan San San and his men, but a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes.

Originating from the life level, originating from the intimidation and suppression on the bloodline, it ignores any defense mechanisms of the body surface and directly attacks a person's consciousness and spirit.

The average person can't resist it at all.

Even when acting simultaneously against the three cultivators at the peak of the Void-Breaking Realm, it still caused these three individuals to fall into a brief state of 'consciousness cessation'. In this state, they were like fools, allowing themselves to be killed.

This method is too terrifying and too bizarre.

If used well, it's definitely a trump card!

……

After killing three people, Su Xin specially cut off Tan San's head, wrapped it in cloth, and used it as proof of completing the mission.

These two people should be strong fighters from Lake Mountain Prefecture.

Before leaving, Su Xin glanced at the two of them, including the bald old man, and said, "Hmph, you already guessed that I'm a disciple of Tianyan Palace, yet you dare to stop me"

"This Hu Shanfu, relying on a prince backing him up, even dares to not take Tianyan Palace seriously. What a fool!"

Su Xin's original goal for this trip was only Tan San, but this bald old man insisted on making a move together. Su Xin wouldn't let him get away with it.

What about the strong ones from Lake Mountain Mansion Kill them and then talk!

Su Xin quickly left, and the guards in the manor, seeing that Tan San was already dead, naturally did not dare to obstruct him any further.

……

On the way back to Tiangyan Palace, Su Xin was still reminiscing about the battle just now.

"That Tan San, at the peak of the Void Breaking stage, is considered normal. But when I fought him, I didn't use my full strength, and I didn't even use much swordsmanship. I still injured him," Su Xin pondered.

His fight with Tan Sansan gave him a certain understanding of his current abilities.

First, is the power.

After all, he was only at the early stage of Void Breaking. Even relying on bloodline inheritance techniques and bloodline power, he could only be comparable to an average Void Breaking late-stage cultivator.

Even if he fully activates his bloodline power... the gap between each level of the Void Breaking Realm is far greater than that of the Sea Transformation Realm. Now, even if he activates his bloodline power to its full potential, he can only reach the peak of the late Void Breaking stage. There's still some distance to the peak of the Void Breaking realm.

“The Azure Crow Divine Sword I wield is a high-tier divine treasure. Relying on the power of the Azure Crow Divine Sword, in terms of strength, I am only comparable to an ordinary Void Breaker peak expert. However, my comprehension of sword intent and swordsmanship surpasses that of ordinary Void Breaker peak experts by far,” Su Xin thought inwardly.

At the peak of shattering emptiness, to judge strength and weakness is also to see the layers of comprehension and feeling.

Those at the weakest level usually only barely grasp a sliver of the artistic conception, and they may not even fully comprehend the essence of sword intent. Even reaching the peak of the Void Breaker stage only grants them slightly more power compared to an average late-stage Void Breaker.

Just now, when Su Xin fought with Tan San, he could feel that Tan San should have already comprehended two or three kinds of profound meanings. This was considered normal at the peak of the Broken Void Realm.

Among those at the peak of the Profound Void, most of the powerful ones can comprehend the essence of four or even five kinds of realms.

As for those who have comprehended the essence of six, seven, or even eight realms, they are undoubtedly among the very best in the realm of breaking through the void.

“My strength is close to that of an average late-stage Void Breaker, but my comprehension of the sword's intent is extremely high, having already reached the second level. Coupled with my swordsmanship... taking everything into account, I should be comparable to those late-stage Void Breakers who have comprehended seven or even eight kinds of sword intents,” Su Xin thought inwardly.

This is his assessment of his own abilities.

Of course, that doesn't even include their two trump cards.

"This kind of strength, in the Void-Breaking Realm, could be considered quite formidable. However, against a peerless Void-Breaking expert, it would still fall short."

Su Xin was very clear that being invincible in the Void Breaking Realm wasn't just about reaching the peak of the Void Breaking Realm in every aspect, but also about achieving a second-tier level of comprehension and understanding. This comprehension and understanding were no less than his own, whether it came to skill or technique.

“Right now, I’m still no match for Nie Jiuyou. But as long as my cultivation breaks through to the mid-stage of Void Breaker, my power and might will be comparable to that of a peak Void Breaker. Then I’ll have the ability to stand against him, even kill him!” Su Xin’s eyes narrowed.

Soon after, Su Xin returned to the Heavenly Flame Palace.

"Brother, you're back!"

Just as he returned, Duan Yunfeng greeted him. "Xia Mang heard that you had broken through to the Void Breaking Realm and has been looking for you."

"Summer Mango" Su Xin couldn't help but laugh.

……n't you say before that failure in the examination means death""That's just to put pressure on you, scare you intentionally," Black Dragon laughed."Frighten me" Su Xin was astonished.> Before you, two...
