Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 98: Chapter 85: The Li Family’s Annihilation and Comprehension of Sword Intent - Part 2

”There are still some Li Family members who haven’t died.”

”But they can’t stir up much trouble anymore.”

Undoubtedly, with this assassination, Jiang Fan has essentially wiped out the higher-ups of the Li Family.

Even if there are some Li Family martial artists left, they can’t cause much of an uproar.

Moreover, the Li Family holds such a large foundation, such considerable wealth.

Yet they don’t have enough power to protect it.

For the surviving members of the Li Family, it may not be a blessing.

After all, this world is full of jackals, wolves, tigers, and panthers.

Once it’s known that the Li Family lacks the strength to protect their wealth, they are bound to swarm in.

They will immediately squeeze the Li Family dry.

If they are wise, they should just surrender their wealth and perhaps have a chance to survive.

But if they dare to hold onto any wealth, it will spell disaster.

Perhaps these surviving Li Family members will suffer worse than the dead.

It’s time for these noble descendants to see the harsh reality faced by the lower class.

To taste how the fishermen of the past struggled to survive.

Whoosh!

With this thought, Jiang Fan did not intend to stay there; he flashed and swiftly left the Li Family Mansion.

”It’s over, the Li Family is completely finished.”

The remaining Li Family members saw the death of the elder and the patriarch and turned pale one by one. Although they were accustomed to comfort, they weren’t fools.

With the loss of the high-tier martial artists’ protection, it was predictable what the Li Family’s situation would become.

...

It didn’t take long for Jiang Fan to return to his home.

Almost no one could trace his whereabouts.

After all, his Soaring Snake Technique could reduce his presence and blend him into the night.

Even if he stood right in front of someone, they probably wouldn’t notice.

A message instantly penetrated deep into his consciousness: ”You have slain Li Haoran and the others, eliminating a formidable future enemy in advance, overcoming a calamity, and have gained eight hundred Luck Points.”

What?!

Upon sensing this message, a glint flashed in Jiang Fan’s eyes. He completely didn’t expect that after taking down the Li Family, he would gain so many Luck Points.

More than what he gained from slaying the Bat King Yang Qin.

Adding to his previous Luck Points, he has now acquired a total of 1360 Luck Points.

In the blink of an eye, his Luck Points have exceeded a thousand.

This shows that the threat posed by the Li Family was much greater than that of the Bat King Yang Qin.

After all, for Jiang Fan, the bigger the calamity he overcomes, the more Destiny he gains.

”However, perhaps it’s not just the calamity being massive.”

”It might also be due to seizing the Li Family’s Destiny, which is why I’ve gained so many Luck Points.”

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin.

He noticed that his Life Chart also possessed the ability to seize the Destiny of others.

Which is why he could keep accumulating Luck Points like this.

The Li Family originally was a family with great Destiny; otherwise, they wouldn’t have possessed such cultivation heritage.

If it weren’t for him, perhaps the Li Family might have truly become a family of cultivators in the future.

Unfortunately, such a future has already been completely interrupted by him, with no chance of recovery.

Meaning, the Li Family’s Destiny has been entirely stripped away by him.

But this was deserved.

One could say the Li Family committed numerous evils, inciting the wrath of Heaven and Man, sowing the seeds of disaster long ago, hence encountering this great calamity.

If they could overcome it, they would surely soar to great heights.

But if not, it would be total destruction.

In this world, no family exists eternally unchanging.

”With so much Destiny gained, perhaps I can use it to enhance the Aurora Swordsmanship.”

Jiang Fan clenched his fists.

His Aurora Swordsmanship had already reached the realm of Great Success, just a step away from the Perfection Level.

Moreover, to advance to Grandmaster, he needs to comprehend Martial Dao Will.

So, he wants to elevate the level of Aurora Swordsmanship and seize the opportunity to grasp Sword Intent.

This way, his future advance to Innate Martial Artist might become much easier.

Perhaps it will save a lot of Luck Points.

Rumble~~

With these thoughts in mind, he wasted no time and immediately expended three hundred Luck Points.

Instantly, Jiang Fan sensed a mysterious power emanating from within him, pulling his soul into a mysterious space.

In this mysterious space appeared a figure practicing the Aurora Swordsmanship.

Every stance, every motion, contained the rhythm of swordsmanship.

As if resonating with the heavens and earth, it drew upon the energy of the world.

Twenty years, fifty years, seventy years, finally this figure diligently trained for a full hundred years.

It was a transformation from quantity to quality.

And this figure finally cultivated the Aurora Swordsmanship to the Perfection Level.

An intense Sword Intent was suddenly revealed, fully nurtured.

This is the Aurora Sword Intent.

”I see now.”

In this moment, Jiang Fan integrated these sword dao memories and began to notice a transformation in his soul.

When the Aurora Swordsmanship reached the Perfection Level, it was no longer just at the Micro Level, but man and sword became one.

Upon reaching such a realm, man and sword were unified as one.

They can become one precisely because of the birth of Sword Intent.

Only when the soul’s will merges into the sword can man and sword be as one, as if of a single entity.

Thud!

In an instant, Jiang Fan gripped the Chengying Sword, and the Qi Force within him merged with the Sword Intent; he thrust out with a single sword.

A Sword Qi shot out, containing terrifying destructive force.

Immediately, the wall in front was pierced through in an instant, all the stones shattered into dust.

Without a doubt, the power of this Sword Qi compared to before had increased more than tenfold.

”So powerful.”

A glint of excitement flashed in Jiang Fan’s eyes.

Although the Qi Force within him hadn’t increased, the comprehension of Sword Intent greatly elevated his combat capability to an incomparable level.

A Grandmaster who comprehends Sword Intent and one who hasn’t are practically beings of two different dimensions.

The gap between them is enormous.

”The so-called Martial Dao Will, in essence, belongs to the power of the soul.”

”Before comprehending the Martial Dao Will, martial artists cannot utilize their soul power.”

”But once comprehended, a martial artist’s soul power becomes substantial, resonating with the forces of heaven and earth.”

”Thus, when Sword Intent merges with Qi Force, its power drastically increases.”

”If attacking an enemy, the power of Sword Intent can penetrate the enemy’s defenses and damage their soul.”

”Often when a sword strike is unleashed, the target may show no external harm but die from a shattered soul.”

Jiang Fan clenched his fists.

He realized the formidable nature of Martial Dao Will; it is the substantiation of soul power.

Hence, a grandmaster who comprehends Martial Dao Will becomes fearsome.

Other grandmasters can’t compare.

A grandmaster at this level can even compete with low-tier Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators.

”Each grandmaster comprehends a different Sword Intent.”

”The one I’ve comprehended is the Aurora Sword Intent.”

”It can condense Sword Qi into a single point, erupting instantaneously with great destructive power.”

”Containing fearsome piercing and speed.”

”Once unleashed, the enemy is caught off guard and can be killed with a single sword thrust.”

”Therefore, this swordsmanship doesn’t have too many moves.”

”Usually, one sword strike is enough to decide the outcome, needing no second strike.”

”If a second sword is needed, it only means the training isn’t sufficient.”

Jiang Fan took a deep breath.

Compared to before, he felt empowered several times over.

Especially after comprehending the Aurora Sword Intent, he felt invincible within his realm.

Even when encountering a Martial Arts Grandmaster, it’s merely a matter of a single sword strike, no second sword needed.

”This means the biggest bottleneck in advancing to Innate Martial Artist is gone.”

”Now, I only need to keep increasing the Qi Force within to reach the Perfection Level.”

”That way, I’ll naturally break through to the realm of Innate Martial Artist and nurture a Spirit Root.”

Jiang Fan felt he saw the path leading to the Dao of Cultivation.

Even without a Spirit Root, I can enter the Dao through martial arts, nurturing an Acquired Spirit Root.

That way, I won’t be much inferior to those naturally born cultivators.

He might even nurture a high-grade Spirit Root.

If successful, his starting point will be higher than other cultivators.
