69: Overpower Zhao Tianlong and leave the Holy Meteorite Mountain

The Overbearing Sword Intent transformed into a dazzling light and struck down. Before the Sword Intent even arrived, the ground beneath Zhao Tianlong's feet had already shattered into pieces.

"Hmph."

The Heaven Severing Sword Intent contained within Zhao Tianlong's Divine Sense erupted in an instant.

That Sword Intent was incomparably sharp, as if it could sever the sun, moon, and stars. A single strike, imbued with vast power, caused many around him to change their expressions.

Zhao Tianlong had indeed undergone a transformation within Saints Fall Mountain. Just this Sword Intent alone was enough to crush the Prodigies present.

When the two Sword Intents collided, space trembled, and the sharp Sword Intent spread out, shaving off a layer of the surrounding ground.

Crack.

However, under this clash of Sword Intent, Zhao Tianlong's Sword Intent actually showed cracks and then violently burst apart.

Thump, thump, thump.

Zhao Tianlong retreated dozens of steps consecutively, his internal Qi churning. Qin Ding's lingering Overbearing Sword Intent wreaked havoc within his body, forcing him to use the Heaven Severing Sword in his arm to forcibly suppress it.

"How is this possible?"

Zhao Tianlong found it hard to believe that Qin Ding had actually defeated him in a Sword Intent clash.

One had to know that what Qin Ding was most proficient at didn't seem to be Sword Intent, yet he had still lost.

Qin Ding felt the lingering Heaven Severing Sword Intent in the air and also showed a hint of surprise. This Heaven Severing Sword Intent was also extraordinary. One had to know that his Overbearing Sword Intent was created by that Quasi-Immortal Emperor of the Qin Family.

What kind of person was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor? An Immortal Emperor was the supreme expert in this world, and a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was an existence second only to an Immortal Emperor. In eras where Immortal Emperors did not appear, it was the Quasi-Immortal Emperor who commanded the world, and even Supreme Powers had to submit.

This Heaven Severing Sword Intent was actually not much inferior to his Overbearing Sword Intent.

"Your Sword Intent is not bad, but unfortunately, your Comprehension Ability is too poor, and you've understood it for too short a time, not even learning a single bit of its essence."

Qin Ding also commented, without any apprehension. His Overbearing Sword Intent was obtained through the System's sign-in, coupled with the Comprehension Ability of his Innate Dao Body, he had long since mastered it. He was not comparable to someone like Zhao Tianlong, who had just begun to comprehend it and hadn't even grasped the basics.

"Qin Ding, don't talk down to others. That was just a probing attack from me earlier."

Zhao Tianlong was also somewhat exasperated, feeling insulted by being lectured by someone more than ten years younger than him.

He waved his right arm, and a sword glow pattern flickered on it. A majestic Heaven Severing Sword Intent struck out.

The Sword Intent transformed into white light. This time, it was not just pure Sword Intent, but also a Sword Move. This Sword Move was precisely one of the Moves from the Heaven Severing Sword Art.

"There seems to be something hidden in his right arm." Qin Ding sensed that Zhao Tianlong's right arm seemed to Seal and nourish a sword. Presumably, that sword was the foundation of his transformation.

Thus, a sword also appeared in Qin Ding's palm. That was the Overlord Sky Sword.

Although the Overlord Sky Sword was currently in a Sealed state, outsiders could not know its exact grade.

However, as a Quasi-Emperor Weapon, when it sensed the provocation from a powerful Immortal Sword, it also unleashed some power.

Qin Ding held the Overlord Sky Sword, and the Overbearing Sword Intent circulated. One could only see the Sword Intent forming a spinning Sword Pellet.

After spinning a few times, the Sword Pellet transformed into a domineering, chilling sword light.

The sword light circled Zhao Tianlong's Sword Move a few times, and the entire Sword Move disintegrated.

Subsequently, this domineering, chilling sword light aimed directly at Zhao Tianlong.

Seeing that the sword light was still coming towards him, Zhao Tianlong's expression drastically changed, and he immediately mobilized the spiritual power within his Divine Spring.

Majestic spiritual power surged out, spontaneously condensing a hand. This hand was covered in ancient patterns, displaying powerful strength.

As this hand appeared, it fiercely grabbed at the incoming sword shadow.

The moment the hand grabbed the sword shadow, the sounds of exploding spiritual power clashes continuously rang out.

In this stalemate and clash, a domineering intent gradually honed itself within the sword light. Torrential Sword Qi erupted once again, causing the hand to continuously shake.

Finally, when this shaking reached its peak, the hand began to be unable to bear it. Cracks rapidly spread, covering the entire hand.

"Not good."

Zhao Tianlong cried out in his heart. Before he could react, the sword light completely tore through the hand, and the remaining power went straight for Zhao Tianlong.

At this moment, Zhao Tianlong's figure rapidly retreated, hastily deploying several spiritual power barriers.

However, even the Treasure Art he had prepared couldn't block the sword light, let alone hastily formed spiritual power barriers.

The sword light directly pierced through those spiritual power barriers, heading straight for Zhao Tianlong.

Ah!

Accompanied by Zhao Tianlong's scream, the sword light pierced through Zhao Tianlong's right arm, leaving a blood hole from which blood continuously dripped.

Seeing this, the teams at the exit of Saints Fall Mountain couldn't help but gasp.

The Qin Family was indeed as talented as rumored. Despite being more than ten years younger, he could still suppress Zhao Tianlong.

Who among the younger generation could stop such a person once he grew up?

The people of the Divine Sword Dynasty, seeing Zhao Tianlong injured, all gathered around him protectively, looking at Qin Ding with wary eyes.

After all, they belonged to the same Power, so when facing outsiders, they would naturally choose to unite.

However, Qin Ding had no intention of attacking again. The Divine Sword Dynasty was, after all, a Supreme Power. Wantonly slaughtering people in broad daylight would lead to more trouble once they left Saints Fall Mountain.

Qin Ding looked at Zhao Tianlong with some regret. According to the power of the previous sword light, it should have been able to directly sever his right arm. Unfortunately, at the last moment, the Immortal Sword hidden within him likely protected him, so it only pierced a blood hole.

Zhao Tianlong was also furious at this moment. Since he obtained the Heaven Severing Sword, this was the first time he had lost so thoroughly.

At the same time, he also felt a sense of powerlessness spread through his heart. Qin Ding was so much younger than him, yet he could suppress him. If Qin Ding were given a few more years to Cultivate, he probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to see his back.

"No, I've only just obtained the Heaven Severing Sword. Once I Cultivate the Heaven Severing Sword Art for a while longer, my future achievements will not necessarily be inferior to Qin Ding's."

Zhao Tianlong felt a surge of confidence when he touched his right arm, managing to dispel that feeling of powerlessness.

However, at this time, Zhao Tianlong still chose to endure, actively leading the Divine Sword Dynasty team away from Qin Ding.

"It's better to let the leek grow a bit more before harvesting."

Qin Ding decided to let Zhao Tianlong, this leek, grow a bit more. He could tell that the Immortal Sword in his arm was still in the process of being nourished.

When the Immortal Sword was almost fully nourished, that would be the best time for him to harvest it.

Qin Ding was not at all afraid that Zhao Tianlong could surpass him. Such a person was still too far away from him.

Currently, the only one among his peers who could give him a serious sense of threat was Feng Mo, the Rebirth Immortal King.

"I wonder who Feng Mo will choose to Possess and Rebirth after escaping?"

When Qin Ding thought about this question, he noticed that there was always a gaze subtly watching him.
