Supreme Emperor of Swords

Wang Feng used to be a small head of the black knights, but he had never seen so many treasures, after getting the permisssion of Ding Hao and Evil Moon, he slept near that bag every night.

Like master, like servant!

No wonder the demon cat considered him as a servant…

“Meow! Are you really going to challenge the demons in the Demon Soldier Realm today?” The demon cat asked, while he slouched his little paws and washed his face.

Ding Hao nodded.

“Meow! Let’s go.”

…

Six hours later—

At the summit of an ice cliff, the ice rocks stood brightly and glittered with blue light. They were extremely glaring under the sun, just like steel knives with their handles inserted in the ground.

Boom!

A giant bear lingering around the red demon Qi unwillingly roared, then crashed down and cracked the ice cliff.

“The Sword Intent… Hahaha, I did it!”

Ding Hao was stunned as he suddenly defeated that bear, but the next moment, he understood and laughed cheerfully, regardless of his injuries.

The Sword Intent!

He had finally comprehended the Sword Intent.

That giant bear, surrounded by amazing red demon Qi, was a Demon Soldier. It was equivalent to a human master of the Martial Mentor Realm.

It was a demon by birth and had the blood of its ancestor. Though that blood was very little, an ordinary demon was endowed with magical power, which made it extremely powerful and was capable of easily cracking the earth.

The real combat power of that beast was even stronger than that of a human master of the one-apertured Martial Mentor Realm.

Fortunately, it had the shortcomings of the innate nature of bears—inflexible. That was why Ding Hao dared to fight against it by using the Smoke Billow Blurry Technique.

But even so, that battle was extremely dangerous. It was like dancing with Death. If he had a slight carelessness, he would have been hit by the bear claws which contained the power of terrible destruction and would have been seriously injured.

Fortunately, Ding Hao’s adventure had finally paid off.

During the battle, he forgot himself and finally tapped into that mysterious feeling.

That was—

The Sword Intent!

At the last moment of the battle, Ding Hao made a sword attack which was fascinating and unpredictable, but it was full of Dao and echoed the meaning of the Sword Intent. Therefore, he killed that demon which was a realm higher than him.

After laughing, Ding Hao breathed and concentrated, thinking about the feeling when he waved that sword attack. He stood on the edge of the ice cliff for a long time and was completely immersed in that sensation.

Time flew.

The snow fell on his hair and shoulders, thicker and thicker, eventually whitening his long hair and body, to a point where it completely shrouded him. Ding Hao became a snowman.

Some time later, suddenly—

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Ding Hao suddenly moved, gently waving his rusted sword. The blade cut through the air, making the a sound similar to when a cloth was torn. The attack was pure and had misty sword radiance, flashing away.

Ding Hao looked satisfied.

He finally mastered that feeling.

That was the Sword Intent.

Although his Sword Intent was much weaker than that of the ancient expert in the memory that the Sword Master had shown him, it was already a leap-forward breakthrough for Ding Hao.

“Well, you kid finally mastered the Sword Intent. That’s a reward for your diligence.”

“It’s not easy. Little Chap Ding’s efforts have finally paid off.”

In his mind, seeing that scene, the two old monsters, the Sword Master and the Saber Master, though they were always very strict in Ding Hao’s cultivation, could not help but praise him at that moment.

They knew all about Ding Hao’s crazy practice those days.

As Ding Hao had the ‘Saintly Being of Saber and Sword’ body, he was born with a very perverted talent for sword cultivation. Besides, under the guidance of the Sword Master, he had a vague understanding of the Sword Intent.

Those days, he had been diligently cultivating the Enhancing Spirit Method, and he also cultivated the inscriptions in the way of ancient Chinese poetries. He gradually had a kind of enlightenment that was indescribable and unspeakable. The so-called inscriptions had something in common with the meanings of poetries.

Because of those various factors, it was completely reasonable that Ding Hao could master the Sword Intent.

“However, the Sword Intent you’ve mastered now is only a half-step one. It is incomplete.” After the appreciation, the Sword Master became a severe teacher again and poured cold water on Ding Hao who was still excited.

“Half-step Sword Intent?” Ding Hao was surprised.

“Yes, that is to say, you’ve only understood the surface of the Sword Intent, and thus you can challenge the demons with higher ranks. Judging from your battle with the Red Flame Demon Bear, you’re just capable of challenging and bypassing four small realms. However, if you comprehend the real Sword Intent, you could challenge bypassing a big realm, which is also called ‘the Nine Forbidden’,” the Sword Master explained in detail.

Ding Hao nodded thoughtfully.

The Sword Master said again, “However, you don’t have to be discouraged. You’ve mastered the half-step Sword Intent, which is equivalent to cracking a door that others can’t open. As long as you continue to work hard, the chances are there. As your comprehension further deepens, you’ll master the 10%, 20%, 30%, and the complete Sword Intent. Completely opening this door is just around the corner.”

The Saber Master was also happy and encouraged him as possible as she could. She said, “It takes only four or five months for you to learn martial arts. It is really commendable to have today’s achievements. What’s more, the Sword Intent and the Saber Intent are basically the same. Since you have the body of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword and have been cultivating saber techniques and sword techniques at the same time, you’ll soon master the Saber Intent!”

After the analysis of the two old monsters, Ding Hao understood clearly.

“Meow! This bear looks so delicious…” Evil Moon stalked over with a mouth-watering look, watching the body of the Red Flame Demon Bear lying next to the ice cliff.

“You can eat as long as you think your stomach has no problems with the demon crystal of this Demon Soldier.”

Ding Hao was quite speechless when considering that little wicked cat. Since more than a month past, it had eaten hundreds of fierce beasts and monsters, and it had absorbed endless energy, but its size did not change too much.

“Meow… I…” Evil Moon looked lazily and was going to say something, but suddenly he squinted his eyes and the fluff in his neck bristled like steel needles. He bowed his body and said, “We have to go. I sense a faint smell of danger…”

His words had not finished.

Phew!

A sword light flashed.

Ding Hao only felt that there was something flashing in front of him, and a horrible and almost substantial sword light ruthlessly shot from behind. As it moved, the ice splashed and the sword attack left a gully of more than two meters deep, on the ice that had existed for thousands of years!
