“Still pondering over the matter of sword intent?” Catalina asked, having seen through Jared’s thoughts.
Jared nodded, “What exactly is sword intent?”
“I really have no idea. I haven’t mastered the sword intent,” Catalina quickly waved her hand dismissively.
Rightblind chuckled, “Brat, sword intent can only be understood, not explained. I’ll show you another strike, but whether you grasp its intricacies is up to you.”
As Rightblind spoke, he raised the longsword in his hand, ready to strike.
But before he could make a move, the longsword suddenly began to tremble violently. This caused Rightblind’s face to pale instantly.
“Rightblind, what’s wrong?” Catalina quickly asked.
“Ms. Lantz, it seems that Leftblind has encountered danger outside,” Rightblind replied.
“Danger?” Catalina’s brows furrowed slightly. “Has he gotten into trouble agajn? Go check on him immediately and try to stop him from causing any more problems.”
“Ms. Lantz, what about you?” Rightblind asked.
“Don’t worry,” she reassured him. “He’s still here with me, and I have something to ensure our safety. We’ll be fine.” Catalina pointed at Jared as she spoke.
Rightblind glanced at Jared, then warned, “Brat, you better protect Ms. Lantz well. If anything happens to her, there won’t be a place in the entire Ethereal Realm where you can hide.”
After finishing his words, Rightblind quickly dashed towards the entrance of the Celestial Battlefield.
Jared, on the other hand, was left speechless, his face a mask of disbelief. Who had he offended? Why was he suddenly being asked to take responsibility?
Upon seeing Jared’s reaction, Catalina gave a small smile and reassured him, “Don’t worry, he’s just trying to intimidate you. Nothing will happen. Even if something did happen to me, it wouldn’t be your fault.”
“With me here, none of you will be harmed,” Jared said, patting his chest and boasting.
Upon hearing his words, everyone eagerly expressed their desire to follow him. After all, they had all witnessed how Jared had shattered the stone statue with his sword.
Even without his spiritual energy, Jared still possessed such formidable physical strength.
If danger arose, he would be able to hold his ground.
The main reason everyone decided to follow along was that, even if they couldn’t get any magical items, they’d still walk away with spiritual stones. In other words, there was no downside. These people definitely knew how to make the best of the situation.
Catalina, on the other hand, was open to all comers. She then led the group on their journey.
Outside the Celestial Battlefield, Leftblind was locked in an intense battle with Seth and Ruth, neither side able to gain the upper hand.
Several sword-wielding cultivators were present, with four of them already gravely injured, lying on the ground with their lives uncertain. Yet, despite the odds, none of the sword-wielding cultivators showed any sign of backing down.
Leftblind, growing angrier by the second, struck with his longsword, his attacks relentless like lightning.
However, despite his fury, he was still at a disadvantage due to the combined efforts of Seth and Ruth.
Leftblind’s left arm had been injured and was beginning to bleed.
“Damn it!” Leftblind cursed inwardly. “I don’t know if Rightblind got my message, but if he doesn’t show up soon to help, I’ll have to make a run for it. Otherwise, I might actually die at the hands of these two brats.” He prayed that Rightblind had received his message.
Despite the fear creeping into his thoughts, Leftblind’s face showed no sign of fear. He continued to curse, determined to maintain his defiant attitude.
Even if he felt intimidated inside, he couldn’t let it show on the outside.
“Geezer, your mouth sure is tough. Let’s see how tough you talk once we’ve ripped it apart,” Ruth snarled, already seething with anger.
They had been fighting for a while, and in the midst of it all, Leftblind had still managed to curse Ruth’s ancestors. It was infuriating.
“Brats, you think you can disrespect your elder? You should take a good look at your own behavior first. I cursed your ancestors because your family earned bad karma. Do you really think I curse just anyone?” Leftblind retorted, hovering in mid-air with his sword in hand.
“F*ck you!” Ruth was on the verge of losing control. He charged at Leftblind, his sword raised high, moving with such speed that it seemed to have reached its limit-his rage was undeniable.
