In Front of Him, Who Can Claim to Be a Sword Dao Prodigy?

"If you can come, why can't I?" Xiao Yao's lips curved slightly, revealing his arrogance and confidence.

This scene caused Yu Yangbo's mind to automatically replay the image of Xiao Yao killing thousands of cultivators with a single sword not long ago.

This brat is absolutely not to be provoked!

But his grandson had already provoked the other party!

Yu Yangbo quickly cupped his hands and said, "Great One, I had no intention of offending you, please…"

"No intention of offending? Hmph! Do you really think I'd believe that?" Xiao Yao's voice was filled with pressure and malice.

At this moment, the blue-shirted youth spoke, "Grandfather! He's only at the Sea Opening Realm Second Layer Peak Cultivation, why are you afraid of him?"

"That's because…" Yu Yangbo's voice suddenly stopped.

He recalled what his grandson had said earlier. Based on his understanding of his grandson, it was highly likely that gouging out eyes or chopping off limbs were not things said by this god of slaughter before him, but by his grandson.

It's… it's over!

How could there be such a grandson who would betray his grandfather in this world!

At this moment, Yu Yangbo had the urge to kill the blue-shirted youth!

"Young man, what do you want?"

Facing such a question, Xiao Yao said calmly, "Your lives."

"So there's nothing to discuss then?"

Yu Yangbo stared at Xiao Yao, already preparing for battle.

Xiao Yao nodded. Before he could speak, an incredibly powerful and dazzling green sword light struck from the front.

However, the sword light dissipated before it even reached him. The old man standing in front of him was pierced by a sword light.

"What? How could you…?"

Yu Yangbo's bloodshot eyes widened, completely disbelieving that Xiao Yao would attack first.

Xiao Yao smiled slightly and said, "I'm not from any righteous sect, why can't I attack first?"

These words made all the cultivators below tremble.

Being strong was enough!

But they were also shameless, how could they possibly win against this?

The blue-shirted youth watched as Yu Yangbo was reduced to nothing by the sword energy. His whole body trembled, and he even knelt down, crying and begging for mercy.

"For the sake of my young age, please don't kill me."

Xiao Yao knew that the other party wasn't begging for mercy because he recognized his mistake.

Furthermore, if the roots are not removed, the spring breeze will bring them back. He wouldn't make the same mistake his father had made.

With a gentle wave of his sword, sword energy carrying sword wind roared out, instantly engulfing the blue-shirted youth and the three cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Association.

"Is anyone else here related to these people?"

Looking at the motionless cultivators below, Xiao Yao continued to threaten, "If you conceal information and I find out, you will all wait for death!"

The cultivators trembled. Individually, they had no confidence in defeating Xiao Yao.

Just as they were about to unite and attack, a Sea Opening Realm cultivator directly advised, "The opponent easily wiped out 143 Sea Opening Realm cultivators in one go, including many geniuses and powerhouses who were famous in the Southern Wilderness Domain and even other domains. So, for your own lives, don't choose to hide anything."

143 Sea Opening Realm cultivators?

Killed in one go?

The cultivators of Sword Mark Peak were all dumbfounded!

Soon, the cultivators related to the Heavenly Sword Association were tied up and brought before Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao scanned them. Some were filled with fear and unease, some shed tears and begged for mercy, and some cursed him for being inhuman.

But none of this could change the fact that these people were about to die.

"Whimper!"

As if disturbed by the curses, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox slightly opened its eyes and cried out in dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yao gently stroked the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's back and said softly, "Keep sleeping, those noisy guys won't be bothering you soon!"

The cultivators were astonished!

No one expected Xiao Yao to use such harsh words to comfort the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.

The cursing cultivators immediately shut their mouths. They were actually afraid of death, but they only started cursing because they saw no hope.

Xiao Yao didn't want to waste any more time. He swung the Taiyan Sword, unleashing an incredibly sharp and ferocious sword light.

In the blink of an eye, the area in front of him fell into complete silence, with no sound emerging.

Looking at the empty space ahead, Xiao Yao understood that this wave was over. He sheathed the Taiyan Sword and descended.

Just as he was about to join the queue, a group of Sea Opening Realm cultivators appeared before him and bowed respectfully, "Great One! Please come this way, we have arranged the best viewing spot for the Sword Mark Peak's sword marks for you."

"Didn't you have to queue?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

Queueing?

The assembled cultivators were once again stunned!

Soon, some cultivators realized that Xiao Yao might be deliberately testing them.

"Big shots like you don't need to queue."

"He's right! You can just follow us."

Xiao Yao didn't go with the flow and asked again, "But isn't this cutting in line?"

The cultivators exchanged glances. At this moment, they already believed that Xiao Yao was deliberately testing them.

"What do you mean cutting in line? You're not cutting in line at all! Among the Sea Opening Realm cultivators present, you're the only one who hasn't taken a seat. You genuinely queued to get in."

"Yes! Sea Opening Realm cultivators have their own queue."

Xiao Yao felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Since he didn't have to queue anyway, he decided to find a seat and observe the sword marks to comprehend Sword Intent.

Surrounded by the Sea Opening Realm cultivators, Xiao Yao walked towards the best viewing spot for the sword marks.

The cultivators who were still queuing all cast envious glances, inwardly regretting why their cultivation had not reached the Sea Opening Realm.

Upon reaching the spot, Xiao Yao sat down cross-legged and said, "There's nothing else. You can go about your business."

The Sea Opening Realm cultivators all inwardly believed that Xiao Yao was wary of them.

Thus, they didn't harbor any ill intentions and returned to their own seats.

The Sea Opening Realm cultivator whose spot Xiao Yao had taken felt indignant, but since he still had a place to view the sword marks, he didn't challenge Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao gazed at the sword marks, which contained profound Sword Intent.

[Beep! This sword mark possesses fifty layers of Sword Intent and is from thirty thousand years ago.]

Thirty thousand years?

Didn't the Giant Spirit Secret Realm only open in the last thousand years?

Xiao Yao vaguely realized the extraordinary nature of the Giant Spirit Secret Realm.

However, he merely noted it in his heart, not delving deeper into it.

An hour later.

Xiao Yao was enveloped in dazzling white light, and his Sword Intent began to sublimate.

Instantly, both the cultivators queuing and those already seated turned their attention to Xiao Yao.

"These are signs of Sword Intent advancement!"

"The Sword Intent he displayed earlier was at the peak of the third layer. Does this mean his Sword Intent is about to advance to the fourth layer?"

"If he's not an old monster who has regained his youth, then reaching the fourth layer of Sword Intent at such a young age seems too unbelievable!"

"He's only observed for an hour. If he observes for a full three days, I can't even imagine the situation then!"

Amidst shocked and astonished murmurs, Xiao Yao's Sword Intent successfully advanced to the fourth layer.

Three hours later.

Xiao Yao's Sword Intent reached the peak of the fourth layer.

Another six hours later.

Xiao Yao's Sword Intent advanced to the fifth layer.

Twelve hours later.

Xiao Yao's Sword Intent reached the peak of the fifth layer.

After that, there were no further changes, and the assembled cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's almost three full days! Do you think his Sword Intent can advance to the sixth layer?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Only a very small number of Dao Integration Realm cultivators can comprehend the sixth layer of Sword Intent. He's only at the peak of the second layer of the Sea Opening Realm!"

"That's true. If he truly comprehends it, then at least in my understanding, he would be the foremost among the younger generation in Sword Dao!"

At this moment, the wind began to blow!

Sizzle sizzle!

The wind grew stronger and stronger. The cultivators looked towards its source and found it was Xiao Yao, who was about to complete three full days of observation.

Suddenly, Xiao Yao was surrounded by intense and dazzling sword light.

"Could it be that he has truly comprehended the sixth layer of Sword Intent?"

"He's defying the heavens!"

Bang!

The sword light around Xiao Yao vanished, and his Sword Intent successfully advanced to the sixth layer.

All the cultivators present had their eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Monster! He's a monster!"

"In front of him, who dares call themselves a prodigy of the Sword Dao?"

"The path of the Sword Dao will completely change starting today!"

Xiao Yao slowly exhaled, his five hours of accumulation each day were for this final push.

He stood up, gazing at the sword marks that could no longer offer him any insights.

What a shame!

If these sword marks could continue to give me insights, perhaps I could discover the bottleneck in my current understanding of Sword Intent.

However, I can go back and ask Master to create one. After all, Master is the Sword Dao Empress; her Sword Intent must surely exceed fifty layers.

Xiao Yao turned to look behind him. The queue was even longer than it had been three days ago.

At the very front was a frail-looking little girl. Xiao Yao felt his spot should go to her.

But at that moment, a dark shadow streaked from afar, directly cutting in line and standing in front of the little girl.

You can cut in line like that?

Xiao Yao felt his worldview shaken!

No matter how egregious someone's line-cutting was in his past life, it never involved directly cutting to the very first spot.

The quality and moral cultivation of these cultivators were truly not ordinary!

[Beep! To rectify the unhealthy atmosphere in the cultivation world, a mission is hereby issued: Teach the line-cutter a lesson. Upon completion, a very considerable reward will be granted.]
