Cultivator in the Last Days-Chapter 133: Killing Intent

Chapter 133: Killing Intent
"Meow?" <What are you planning to do?>
Xiao Mao was startled by Yu Shi Lan’s sudden change of conversation, but she still followed her master’s instruction and remained silent on her place, only looking at Yu Shi Lan’s direction with curiosity and confusion.
But Yu Shi Lan clearly didn’t have any plan to explain things to her.
Instead, Yu Shi Lan was walking closer towards the demonic mantis that was still busy eating. Blood splattered on the demonic mantis’ face, making it looked even more horrible and ugly.
Many people would definitely scream in fear when they saw this scene.
The usually herbivore animals had turned into such a terrifying creature under the effect of the demonic Qi.
Oh, ordinary people wouldn’t even know that it’s demonic Qi.
After all, only cultivator could sense the demonic Qi’s existence and most of them didn’t even exist on the Green Planet.
Yu Shi Lan was staring at the demonic mantis and silently calculated in her mind how far would it take for it to notice.
’Miss, you couldn’t be...’
Xiao Mao was stunned and was about to stop Yu Shi Lan when the other party had already stared at the demonic mantis and the atmosphere seemed to change. From the ordinary day to cold and ruthless with thick depressive atmosphere all around them.
Under this pressure, even Xiao Mao felt that it was hard to breath.
She knew that Yu Shi Lan definitely didn’t aim it in her direction, but the aftermath alone was more than enough to put strong sense of oppression on her.
The cat’s face turned pale.
It was obvious that whatever Yu Shi Lan was doing, it directly affect the air around them.
This sense of oppressions only lasted for a moment and Xiao Mao saw a shadow appearing from Yu Shi Lan’s direction. Her pupil constricted and she really wanted to yell no to Yu Shi Lan.
But it was obvious that her master will never listen to her.
Swish! Slash!
The demonic mantis in the distance felt a sudden sense of oppression and the next moment, its breath disappeared and it fell down to the ground with a thud. The corpse under it was unrecognizable and the meat and blood paste were flatted by the demonic mantis’ fall.
It was a gory and disgusting sight.
But neither Yu Shi Lan or Xiao Mao bothered to pay attention to it.
Yu Shi Lan was smiling.
Even though her face was a shade paler than before, but she could clearly sense that her killing intent worked and managed to kill that demonic mantis from this distance.
It was terrifying.
Still, she could sense that her mental state was not very good and it would be better for her to meditate and recover.
’This will be my trump card for the time being.’ Yu Shi Lan was happy.
For an ordinary attack, the cost was indeed too high for the current her. But being able to launch an attack with strength far beyond her current realm was already a good thing for Yu Shi Lan.
She’s delighted.
"Meow! Meow! Meow!" <Miss, are you crazy? You’re only a Qi Refining Rank 3 and you’re launching an attack through pure killing intent? Are you not afraid that the backlash and burden will cause you to die?>
Xiao Mao was terrified.
At the same time, she wanted to pull Yu Shi Lan and scold her endlessly.
Killing intent that cultivators used and the killing intent that ordinary people could give was different.
A martial artist will learn some kind of technique and the technique contained some kind of meaning of its creator. When they were at Qi Refining Stage, cultivators would never be able to understand.
They had only stepped on the path of immortality and this thing was too far away from them.
The first step was a simple imitation.
They would imitate the movement of these martial arts to get stronger.
But once they had been able to fully replicate the movements, they would start to ponder the deep meaning of these martial arts.
Not all cultivators were able to do this.
Understanding a martial art required great talent and understanding. Without both of them, they would never be able to step on it.
Some geniuses could understand the deep meaning of these martial arts, thus displaying what they called as artistic conception. The moment they showed off their martial arts, the artistic conception will also show if they had mastered it.
It’s beautiful.
And it contained deep mystery for the onlookers.
Every cultivators who could learn martial arts until reaching the artistic conception was worthy of the name genius.
Xiao Mao knew that Yu Shi Lan was among them.
Because this woman somehow managed to understand the artistic conception of a sword art that she learned. Thus, whenever she made a move, there would be pictures moving around her in the sky.
It was very high profile.
And it was also because of this that Yu Shi Lan was targeted for a long time.
Such a lone genius....
Who didn’t want to recruit her?
But there were also many people who coveted Yu Shi Lan for various other reasons. Either it was because of her martial arts or it was because they suspected she had some treasure that allowed her to get stronger quickly.
After all, her qualification was the five element spiritual roots.
It was already strange enough for her to advance so quickly and if her understanding was also monstrous... some people couldn’t help but make a move.
And above these artistic conception is the intent.
Various weapon intent such as the sword intent, saber intent, spear intent, and so on existed.
And then there were also pure emotional intent such as killing intent.
Many cultivators might spend their entire life never understanding any of these.
But Yu Shi Lan was different.
She managed to understand two different kind of intents and applied them into her moves: the sword intent and the killing intent.
