CHAPTER 607: CHAPTER 607: SWORD INTENT LEVEL 6

"Boom!"

Terrifying force exploded forth.

"Bang!"

Ling Chen’s right foot suddenly stomped backward, stabilizing his own form.

"What?!"

Pei Yijian couldn’t believe it.

His attack, infused with the Sharpness Intent Realm, had actually failed to defeat Ling Chen.

You should know, by relying on the Sharpness Intent Realm, his attacking power had increased by an entire level!

"How is this possible?"

Zhang Kuang’s eyes bulged in utter disbelief.

He could naturally also feel the Sharpness Intent within the Star Hand Seal.

Yet, Ling Chen had managed to withstand it.

He wasn’t even repelled.

This was truly inconceivable.

Chu Xiao’s expression also bore disbelief.

He knew Ling Chen’s attack shouldn’t just be to this extent.

But, he couldn’t understand why, at this moment, Ling Chen chose to withhold some of his strength.

To recklessly confront the Sharpness Intent face-on, taking such a risk with his own body.

In the vast sky.

A piercingly sharp aura instantly descended.

Ling Chen felt as if countless sharp blades were slicing at him, his skin tingling with stabbing pain.

"Is this the Sharpness Intent?"

Ling Chen closed his eyes.

His whole body submerged in this strange sensation of physical pain, yet his Divine Soul was filled with joy.

With the cultivation of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, by now, his sword momentum had reached the pinnacle.

He was a mere hair’s breadth away from Sword Intent.

Hence, this time, Ling Chen restrained his own attack strength, to personally experience the Sharpness Intent Realm!

With his Green Lotus Bloodline, he could enhance his attack by two whole levels!

How could it be possible for him not to withstand the attack of a six-star King who hadn’t even employed the Holy Body Secret Technique?

Everyone’s gaze on Ling Chen, almost all bore a look as if they’d seen a ghost.

This was supposed to be a battle!

Was Ling Chen actually enjoying it?

What kind of sorcery was this?

Watching Ling Chen’s bizarre behavior, Pei Yijian momentarily ceased his attack.

This strike was already his strongest attack, aside from utilizing the Holy Body Secret Technique!

His cultivation was three levels higher than Ling Chen’s, and he had also employed the Sharpness Intent of Sword Intent.

Yet he could do nothing against Ling Chen, and truly had lost all face to continue.

Upon the dispersion of that Sharpness Intent, Ling Chen slowly opened his eyes, a glint of enlightenment flashing through them.

After personally experiencing the Sharpness Intent, he finally broke through the bottleneck at that moment. His Sword Dao realm once again ascended, reaching the Sword Intent level.

The first Sword Intent he comprehended was the Sharpness Intent Realm!

"Do you want to continue?"

Ling Chen smiled slightly, his eyes seemingly radiating an otherworldly light.

He believed, by withstanding this strike, he had already shown sufficient strength.

No longer would anyone dare to challenge his identity as a Purple Robe disciple!

Pei Yijian wore a bitter smile.

He had almost played his strongest hand aside from the Holy Body Secret Technique.

Did he really need to use the Holy Body Secret Technique against Ling Chen?

Originally, he was already three minor levels above Ling Chen in cultivation, and even using Sword Intent did not prevail, leaving him with no face to continue the fight.

He looked towards Zhang Kuang with seeking eyes.

Zhang Kuang’s face was ashen.

He mocked the Burning Flame Sect for Ling Chen’s cultivation level.

However, Ling Chen used his true strength to slap his face!

For a mere Palace Mansion Realm triple-layered practitioner, they had to deploy an inner cabinet disciple of the sixth layer, and even Sword Intent was utilized to no avail.

"The Burning Flame Sect has produced such a genius; even Ye Fentian’s talent might not surpass Ling Chen! This news must be sent up!"

Zhang Kuang looked deep at Ling Chen.

Such a genius, if not promptly obliterated, may become a great enemy to their Star Pavilion in the future!

Luckily, he had discovered this now.

"Come back!"

In the end, Zhang Kuang said coldly.

Since he harbored a killing intent for Ling Chen, naturally, he could not expose it without absolute certainty.

If they continued to pressure Ling Chen, they might attract the attention of the Burning Flame Sect.

That is why he ordered Pei Yijian to stop.

Hearing this, Pei Yijian exhaled a breath of relief and stepped back behind Zhang Kuang.

"Let’s go!"

Zhang Kuang snorted coldly.

He then led the Starfall Pavilion’s group away.

Seeing the people from Starfall Pavilion leave, Chu Xiao’s face revealed a smug smile.

"Ling Chen, well done!"

Chu Xiao patted Ling Chen on the shoulder and nodded.

"Brother Chu, you flatter me."

Ling Chen responded modestly.

He glanced to the right as Chu Xiao patted his shoulder, Chu Xiao had already left a mark.

But he didn’t mind.

"Brother, I have some injuries inside my body, I will go back and heal first."

Ling Chen said with a smile.

"Alright, go ahead!"

Chu Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

"Burning Flame Sect really produced a true dragon this time!"

"Yes! With this person, the position of Eastern Domain Master of East Qing Province, I’m afraid Starfall Pavilion might not be able to shake it!"

"Right, this kid is too heaven-defying!"

"Indeed! Until now, I still haven’t figured out what exact techniques he’s used! He could actually fight across three ranks!"

...

Watching the disciples of Burning Flame Sect leave, numerous Cultivators were exclaiming in admiration.

Soon, Ling Chen’s reputation spread throughout Jiangning City.

Even the Lord Governor of Jiangning City had heard about it.

...

In the inn’s room.

Ling Chen was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

His right hand condensed a fine stream of Sword Qi!

"Realm of Sharpness Intent!"

With a thought, Ling Chen imbued the first level of Sword Intent onto the Sword Qi.

Instantly, an aura of extreme sharpness spread out.

He was not injured.

Using the injury as an excuse was just to familiarize himself with the first level of Sword Intent, the Realm of Sharpness Intent.

"Now that I’ve grasped Sword Intent, my strength should rise another level."

Ling Chen said excitedly.

Originally, this trip was to obtain the Yin Yang Tao Fruit, to assist in comprehending Sword Intent!

Unexpectedly, in the process of exchanging blows with the disciples of Starfall Pavilion, he had already grasped it.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Later, obtaining the Yin Yang Tao Fruit might even allow him to comprehend another level of Sword Intent.

The effects are best when the Yin Yang Tao Fruit is first consumed.

Over time, the effect will greatly diminish.

But, it will still be much faster compared to the comprehension speed of ordinary people.

There are a total of six levels of Sword Intent realms.

Besides the Realm of Sharpness Intent.

There are also the Realms of Swift, Permeation, Shattering, Splitting, and Crushing.

The one Ling Chen has mastered now is the first level of Sword Intent, the Realm of Sharpness Intent.

In fact, whether it is Sword Intent, Knife Intent, or Spear Intent, they all encompass these six realms.

Outside the inn.

In the high altitude where Ling Chen and Pei Yijian had fought.

A youth clad in a robe adorned with stars stood hovering in the air.

His attire clearly marked him as an external disciple of the Starfall Pavilion.

"I’ve actually sensed a familiar aura!"

The youth’s eyes were profound, as if countless stars gathered within them.

"Could there be someone here with the same unique physique as me?"

"That shouldn’t be possible, right?"

"My physique is supposed to be one of a kind!"

The youth fell into deep thought.

"Never mind, I want to see for myself who this person is that has mastered a Body Refining Technique so similar to mine!"

The light in the youth’s eyes completely retracted.

With a movement, he descended swiftly.

Then, he began to inquire around the city.

"Ling Chen, at the third layer of Palace Mansion Realm, a disciple of Burning Flame Sect?"

Soon, the youth received news about Ling Chen.

Now, almost the entire Jiangning City was discussing the battle between Ling Chen and Pei Yijian, so it was naturally easy to gather information.

"Interesting! There’s such a genius in Qing Province?"

Curiosity flashed in the youth’s eyes.
