Afther I Take The Position As The Patriarch, All Of My Family Members Become The Fated Protagonists

Chapter 30: The Great Dao of Sword, Today Su Zhou Will Open the Gate of Heaven With One Sword!!

“Sword intent!! That’s sword intent!!”

“The family leader has actually comprehended sword intent!!”

“And this sword intent… it descended directly from the Dao of the Sword itself, without being tainted by any other Dao!”

Su Yang’s attention was instantly captured by the overwhelming and pure sword intent.

Amidst the crisscrossing slashes, countless sword marks appeared from thin air. The sword intent was incredibly pure, as if it sought to cut down everything in existence.

Even in his past life, Su Yang had never seen such pure sword intent.

In his previous life, Su Yang had also been a cultivator who had comprehended sword intent, cultivating the Ruthless Sword Intent—a sword intent embodying the notion that the Heavenly Dao is heartless.

Among the myriad sword intents, the Ruthless Sword Intent ranked among the top ten and could be considered a supreme sword Dao.

But compared to the sword intent Su Zhou now exhibited, the Ruthless Sword Intent was utterly inferior.

Because whether it was the Ruthless Sword Intent, the Azure Lotus Sword Intent, or any other, they were all branches under the Dao of the Sword, formed through combination with other Daos.

Yet, the sword intent that now manifested from Su Zhou bore no traces of any other Dao—

It was the purest sword intent between heaven and earth, untainted and unmerged.

It descended straight from the Dao of the Sword itself and stood as the head of all sword intents. Wherever the Dao of the Sword was present, all sword intents bowed before it.

In other words—

Before Su Zhou, all other sword intents were but vassals, subject to his will.

I am the Dao of the Sword. I am sword intent. All things in the world are swords to me!

This was the sword intent Su Zhou had mastered.

Looking at that sword intent, the Nine Tribulations Sword inside Su Yang trembled violently. Then, his eyes turned vacant as he entered a profound state of epiphany.

[Ding!! Congratulations, host’s investment succeeded. Reward obtained: One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!]

As the system notification fell, countless chaotic and complex messages surged forth, ultimately converging into a single, most unadorned strike.

That strike was plain and simple, no more than a horizontal slash.

Yet beneath that slash… gods fell like rain… and immortals wept tears.

In an instant, Su Zhou had fully grasped this immensely powerful sword technique.

He raised his eyes indifferently, the Dao of the Sword seeming to swirl within his gaze.

“Did you not hear what I just said?”

His voice was calm, neither sad nor joyful—but it sent chills down the spine.

At that moment, a brown-robed elder in the skies above trembled with cold.

One of his eyes was bleeding, and aside from fear, his face also held confusion.

“I’m carrying my sect’s secret treasure to conceal my presence— Even a peak Heavenly Origin cultivator shouldn’t be able to detect me so easily!”

“Could it be… that slash earlier was just a coincidence? Is this brat bluffing…?”

“Absurd! I’m a Heavenly Origin elder! How could I be frightened by this strange kid?!”

Thoughts surged in the elder’s mind. He was an elder of the Blood Demon Sect, and had come today to investigate the Su Family, who had killed one of their disciples.

Cautious by nature, he hadn’t revealed himself directly and instead used a treasure to hide his form.

But still, he had been struck by Su Zhou’s seemingly casual sword strike.

Just as he was reeling from the realization that the Su Family’s leader had mastered sword intent—

Su Zhou’s cold voice once again rang out, as though echoing directly in his heart.

“Since you don’t want to speak… then stay silent forever.”

Su Zhou flicked his wrist, and a longsword appeared in response.

A black dragon coiled around its blade; four divine beasts were carved into its hilt. The pitch-black blade was engraved with countless divine runes.

It was none other than the top-grade Heaven-rank weapon—Tai’a Sword, the Sword of Mighty Dao!

Brimming with boundless might and capable of suppressing all directions, Su Zhou lifted it with one hand, smiling faintly, then gave the sword a light flick.

That sword strike seemed effortless, even playful, but the terrifying sword intent it contained—even someone like Su Buku, who knew nothing about sword intent, was overwhelmed with dread.

“Just how powerful has Uncle become…?”

Under Su Buku’s stunned gaze, Su Zhou’s sword slashed out.

“One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate…”

…

Meanwhile, Liu Chengfeng returned to his residence with a face full of worry.

“Sigh… What now? I gave the Su Family not just one quota, but an extra one too…”

“The sect’s old geezers are gonna eat me alive…”

He sighed again and, sensing something, looked in the Su Family’s direction.

Then, his mouth dropped open uncontrollably, and his eyes bulged like pigeon eggs.

“The f*ck…”

“Family Leader Su… are you shaving the sky’s head or what??”

In Tianwu City—

All martial artists, bystanders, and even toddlers turned simultaneously toward the Su Family.

Their faces were stiff with shock, as though they’d seen a ghost in broad daylight.

“Sword sect… Grand Sword Sect…”

“The Su Family has an unrivaled Sword Sovereign!!”

“Holy crap!! What happened?! Why is the sky… split??”

The Su Family disciples were already on their knees in awe, dry-mouthed and trembling with reverence, their gazes toward Su Zhou akin to those worshipping a god.

Before everyone’s stunned eyes—

In the sky above the Su Family, a single sword intent burst forth, piercing the heavens.

And then… the heavens—split.

The entire sky cracked like a mirror, sliced in two.

Dark space fissures sparkled with black lightning, desperately trying to mend the severed firmament.

“How… is this possible…”

Terror was etched into the eyes of the brown-robed elder.

He tried to escape with all his might—but—

He found… he couldn’t even move.

“Are you really… only at the External Manifestation Realm?”

He looked at Su Zhou, face twisted with sorrow and despair, as if realizing something.

“The Blood Demon Sect… is doomed~”

In the next instant, that Heavenly Origin cultivator was consumed by the rampant black light.

Even Su Zhou himself was momentarily stunned by the sheer power of One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.

That hidden figure in the sky didn’t even leave behind a trace of blood before being annihilated.

Above the Su Family, the space rift slowly began to heal—

But the residual force of One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate didn’t dissipate.

Instead, it scattered into countless threads of sword intent, falling softly upon the Su Family.

They landed on the hearts of the Su Family’s disciples, each of whom felt as though something had begun blooming in their souls.

[Ding!! Congratulations, host used One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate, sword intent scattered through the world. Su Family disciples comprehend sword intent! Family Luck +100]
