In an instant, countless silver snakes danced around Lei Yaoyue’s body.

Outside the ring.

The surrounding disciples looked at the lightning that filled the sky and immediately exclaimed,

“It’s here!”

“This is Senior Brother Lei’s lightning divine power. It’s indeed terrifying!”

“Even from this distance so far away, I feel numb all over.”

…

Facing the lightning that filled the sky, Shen Ran quietly stretched out a hand.

He pointed his finger, and a sword qi containing spiritual energy and an extreme killing intent pierced through the void.

The sword qi swept up with a violent whistling sound and headed straight for Lei Yaoyue!!

“Is this Sword Intent?!”

Feeling the rapid sword qi, Lei Yaoyue was a little stunned.

The so-called Sword Intent was the manifestation of the Sword Dao!

Only by cultivating the Sword Dao to a very profound level could one comprehend it.

Among the entire younger generation of disciples in the Empyrean Sword Sect, not a single one had comprehended the sword intent!

Therefore, Lei Yaoyue was stunned for a moment.

“Okay!”

After he regained his senses, the lightning around his entire body ran wildly, turning into a spear that ruthlessly slashed at the sword qi!

Lei Yaoyue’s eyes were filled with excitement!

It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent as powerful as Shen Ran!

Things were happening too fast!

He roared, and the violent lightning in front of him turned into a lifelike lightning dragon.

“Hold!”

After letting out a roar, the lightning dragon rushed towards Shen Ran at an extremely fast speed.

A terrifying aura distorted the air along the way!

When the lightning dragon approached, a clanging sound from a sword suddenly rang out.

The sound was clearly very weak, but in the noisy environment of the huge square, all the disciples could hear it exceptionally clearly!

They saw Shen Ran using his finger as a sword and slashing out a sword light!

The sword light was like lightning!

It rose like the dazzling sun, and with a fierce killing intent to wreak havoc, it soared into the sky!

It instantly shattered the violent lightning dragon!

Then the remaining power landed fiercely on Lei Yaoyue.

Even though he had a spiritual energy protective barrier, he was still sent flying off the ring like a broken sack.

Finally, he vomited blood.

In the square, everyone looked either stunned, shocked, or incredulous at the sight of this.

They did not expect that Lei Yaoyue was no match for Shen Ran!

The two of them had only exchanged a few moves!

However, when they thought of the dazzling and terrifying killing intent of the sword light just now, everyone found it unforgettable.

The maidservant, Shen Yueshuang, trembled slightly. Her eyes curved and she smiled happily.

“I knew that Brother Shen Ran would definitely win,” she murmured.

It was as if she was the one who had won the competition.

“I lost!”

Lei Yaoyue looked at the white-robed figure in the ring. He had a transcendent aura and looked like an immortal.

After being stunned for a long time, he finally chose to admit defeat.

He knew very well that if Shen Ran had not shown mercy just now, he would have been killed by that sword qi!

Shen Ran’s strength far exceeded his!

Even though he was a first-level Illumination Realm cultivator, he only struggled for a few seconds.

Perhaps only Wang Qingxuan can really be your opponent!

After muttering in his heart, Lei Yaoyue dragged his heavily injured body slowly back to the Fifth Summit.

Looking at this scene, all the disciples were uneasy.

No one expected Lei Yaoyue to lose so completely!

“Senior Brother Lei… lost just like that?”

“This is unbelievable! Is Senior Brother Shen Ran actually so strong?!”

“Oh my God! That sword was so terrifying. It was earth-shattering and I felt suffocated!”

…

One disciple after another exclaimed.

Compared to the disciples’ exclamations, the elders sitting on the stage could see more clearly.

“I didn’t expect this kid to be extremely talented in the Sword Dao. He actually comprehended sword intent at the Illumination Realm!”

“And he also possesses alchemy talent. In time, our Empyrean Sword Sect will produce another True Emperor Realm expert.”

“Not bad, not bad! The last person who could comprehend sword intent at the Illumination Realm was the First Elder 500 years ago.”

“Luo Qifeng, you’ve picked up a good treasure!”

…

Looking at the envious gazes around him, Luo Qifeng puffed out his chest and raised his head proudly.

“Of course. Don’t you know who unearthed this child?

I have to thank Junior Sister Wan. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have encountered this unpolished jade.”

Looking at Luo Qifeng’s smug expression, Wan Ziling, who was sitting on the elder’s platform with him, looked as if she was suffering in silence.

She felt very bitter!

Back then, Shen Ran was still a disciple of the Ninth Summit!

If she had resisted Wang Qingxuan’s pressure back then, her Ninth Summit would have become famous!

And not that old fellow, Luo Qifeng.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

Therefore, she could only feel regretful.

The Empyrean Sect Master, Ouyang Tianming, who was sitting at the head of the elders, also revealed a gratified look in his eyes.

Even though he had been in seclusion for a long time, he heard Shen Ran’s name these past two days.

The first place in the stone tower, obtaining the alchemy inheritance of the second-generation Empyrean Sect Master, Luo Zhimo.

He did not expect Shen Ran to be so talented in the Sword Dao.

With such talent, no wonder he attracted the ancestor’s attention.

…

“The winner of this tournament, Shen Ran!”

As the elder in charge of the ring announced the outcome of the competition, Shen Ran jumped and left the ring.

He returned to the Eighth Summit’s disciples’ area.

Along the way, many of his fellow disciples were very respectful to him.

“Senior Brother Shen, if I meet you later, you have to show mercy.”

Facing the disciples, Shen Ran smiled and responded to them one by one.
