Chapter 95: Lightning sword intent and True sword intent

While Clara thought about Kritos archery talent.

Another arrow flew over at a very fast speed.

Clara smashed it to bits as well, as per her usual custom. However, Just as her sword touched the arrow, Clara felt something was wrongt his time. This was not a normal arrow, but a fire arrow.

"Boom!"

By the time Clara realized this, it was too late. The fire arrow exploded with a loud boom'; an intense flame expanded fiercely in all directions.

Clara Augusta used her qi to cover the surface of her body, turning it into a qi shield. 

Clara then quickly retreated backward, but she was too close to the source of the flames. The surging shockwaves generated by the explosion ruthlessly struck her.

The powerful shockwaves knocked Clara flying backward. Clara was astonished; if she had not taken measures against it, this shockwave would be powerful enough to knock her out of the arena. The moment she landed outside the arena, she would automatically lose.

Clara stuck the Meteorite sword into the ground, creating a long and large crack on the ground. This reduced the speed of her backward motion.

After that, she somersaulted towards the back and then stood up again.

She had never thought that the power Kritos hide was this much power.

His strength, speed, and stamina had surpassed the Apprentice Realm warrior. 

It was near the Rank one foundation Realm warrior.

Thinking of an Apprentice realm warrior possessing the strength of Foundation realm. Clara doesn't know how to react.

Before Clara obtained a proper stable footing, two arrows made of flames arrived in front of her.

Kritos, who was in the distance, plucked on his bowstring lightly. Before Clara could do anything, the two arrows made of flames exploded.

"Boom! Boom!"

Being caught off guard, Clara had no time to put up a qi Shield. She was immediately knocked flying by the terrifying swelling heatwaves.

Abruptly blood leaked from the corner of her mouth. Clara's body fell towards the ground but she was still in the arena. 

The crowd around the stadium was shocked to death after watching an unexpected event.

"This!"

"This bastard concealed his strength. He actually has a dual attribute and essentially uses it in fights. Furthermore, he reached an extremely high level in archery skills. His strength cannot be seen through."

"I don't see anyone using archery skills like this, even the Goatin, the most powerful archer in our city isn't capable of doing this!"

"Indeed, no wonder Clara was caught off guard and got struck. The speed and archery skill are enough to confuse her..."

The crowd on the stage discussed. No one expected Kritos to be so strong at only Apprentice Realm. It gave the crowd an unexpected surprise

At a peak point of the stage, Sanju looked at the arena. He had some hint of anger in his eyes.

"Brother, your ruthlessness exceeds my expectations. You don't even show mercy towards my love. Just wait after the tournament if I don't teach you a lesson then my name won't be Sanju. Hmph!"

Nonetheless, Sanju understood Kritos wasn't using his full power. If not he could have finished her with his shadow form when she was distracted for a second.

Moreover, before the match, Kritos already asked for approval from Sanju to fight with Clara by his full power.

"Fu*k, who I am supposed to cheer up?!"

***

Clara pulled up herself and quickly stood in front of Kritos. She wasn't heavily injured but still, she lost a large amount of qi.

'The power he had shown isn't something a peak Apprentice realm could have. I can't let my guard down.' Clara thought to herself.

Clara instantly brandished her Meteorite sword moved as fast as lightning through the air.

In the next instant, the burning arrows were shattered. 

The incoming next flame arrows were shattered with a loud sound, and turned into sparks, before fading into ashes.

Watching his arrows destroyed, Kritos stared at her sword," Indeed! That was how it was, her sword is something special."

Lightning Evasion!

There was a flash of electricity, and suddenly, Clara appeared behind Kritos. Her sword was pointed towards hisb ack. A boundless electrical light surrounded the meteorite sword as it caused a clap of thunder.

Kritos was not surprised that Clara appeared suddenly: he already knew that she had this mysterious 'Movement Technique'.

Kritos quickly turned his body slightly and avoided Clara's attack. 

However, Before Kritos could recover from her sudden sword attack, Clara again fiercely attacked Kritos's chest from an inclined position.

"Inclined hidden Strike!"

This was a skill that used the body like a blade. It focused one's qi onto the shoulder and attacked the enemy like a lance. If one was struck by it, it could instantly cause one to be severely injured. This was a strong skill with an extremely high destructive power.

"Cough!!"

Kritos did not expect that Clara had such strong fierce abilities. He was caught off guard again and was hit ruthlessly. 

Using the recoil of this strike, Kritos's body flew rapidly towards the back. He pushed off the ground lightly, and his body pulled further away from Clara. While he was in the air, he already began drawing his bow.

"Shua!"

After he landed, an arrow on the bow shot out with a 'shua' sound. The string of movements was very fluid; they were very natural and unforced.

There was a cold gleam and the arrow instantly appeared in front of Clara.

However, this time Clara was ready. After avoiding another arrow, Clara's left hand made a hand seal.

Suddenly, A streak of lightning from the sky descended near Kritos. Kritos hurriedly stopped doing what he was doing and evaded toward the back. However, just as he stabilized himself, another five streaks of lightning crashed down loudly.

The six streaks of lightning gave Kritos some buffer time. He used this time to ponder deeply on countermeasures against this situation.

Kritos decided to dodge them with his shadow form. If Clara couldn't see him, how would she be able to point out his location? 

However, Clara didn't give Kritos a chance and used a strange skill. She already had a plan to counter Kritos strange disappearance skill.

She moved her sword towards the sky and closed her eyes. Lightning furiously flickers around the meteorite sword. 

On the stadium, Sol Augusta mumbled "Let's see how your grandson will defend himself from the might of the strongest skill of the shining flower sect this time. If Clara can completely bring out the might of this technique, she could even kill a Rank 2 Foundation Realm expert."

There were many knowledgeable people above the arena discussing this. 

However, the expression of the Lakhan face was weird. He could sense the power behind this skill. Now, Lakhan could only pray that Kritos somehow managed to counter this skill.

In the stadium, Crowd started chattering,"What is going on? Why does Clara's skill have such a strange mysterious phenomenon? Will Kritos could counter it?"

Captain Mitchell stared at the lightning that hung high in the sky, as well as the wind which encircled it.

After a while, he sighed, "The appearance of the mysterious phenomenon has nothing to do with the cultivation realm. It is completely reliant on the understanding of the Dao of the Sword. I believe that amongst the younger generation of Cloud Region, no one can surpass this girl from the Augusta Clan in terms of understanding the Dao of the sword."

Kritos stood and hastily tried to move towards Clara. 

However, Clara seemed as though she was protected by lightning. No matter how hard Kritos tried, he was unable to reach there.

Whenever he attempts to go near Clara, lightning flies in his direction. Because of the lightning, his shadow form worn out.

Kritos felt as though he was being locked down by the Lightning Sword Intents. 

He could feel a dangerous sensation.

Suddenly, Clara raised her sword and pointed it at Kritos.

A boundless Lightning Sword Intent surged Over.

A heavy rumble rose in the air.

After that, the streams of Lightning swords merged together and chopped downwards towards Kritos.

Seeing the very powerful sword light, the people around the arena gulped down their saliva.

If this sword light fell like that, then who could escape from it?

Kritos worriedly stared at the incoming lightning sword intent and thought about how to counter it.

The intent is a will. The will to kill, killing intent. The will of a sword, sword intent.

Sword intent is like a sword spirit that often takes on traits of both the spiritual and physical aspect of swords, sharp for the physical aspect and unyielding and fearsomely for the spiritual.

It is ethereal that takes form and can be seen by the naked eye.

However, what Clara is manipulating is lightning sword intent, not true sword intent.

An intent mixed with an element never shows its true power. However, it was the first step before understanding the true sword intent.

Sword Intent initial formed with the mixture of person affinity and sword. Then after comprehending they have to discern the true sword intent.

In the entire Star Kingdom, only one person could form true sword intent. Other than her, all are in the initial level where they mixed sword intent with their attribute.
