Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The speed of this red-robed swordsman was even faster, and his comprehension of sword intent was even more terrifying. In the flickering sword light, a great mountain could be easily sliced to ash.
As before, Qin Chen didn't rush for victory; instead, he unleashed various secret techniques of the sword path.
However, this time the strength of the red-robed swordsman was clearly superior to that of the previous black-robed swordsman, making Qin Chen feel incredibly pressured.
"This sword technique can still be displayed like this?"
"Amazing, amazing. So the Flying Star Sword Technique has such profound changes."
"Here, the sword intent can actually be used this way."
During the battle, Qin Chen continuously gained insights.
However, he truly couldn't overcome it.
The red-robed swordsman was identical to Qin Chen in terms of cultivation level, defense, and even true essence, yet his sword intent was a full level stronger than Qin Chen's.
The two strands of sword intent collided, and Qin Chen could clearly feel an immense pressure from it.
"My sword intent should have reached its peak, but this red-robed swordsman is actually superior to me in sword intent. What exactly is his strength derived from?"
Qin Chen frowned.
The first black-robed swordsman had the same level of sword intent as himself, both reaching the limit, but this second red-robed swordsman also possessed the limit of sword intent, yet his power was clearly stronger than both Qin Chen and the previous black-robed swordsman, leaving Qin Chen puzzled.
This enhancement in sword intent immediately placed Qin Chen at a disadvantage, leaving him somewhat overwhelmed.
Under equal true essence, no matter what sword technique Qin Chen unleashed, it would be easily countered by the opponent.
If Qin Chen truly wished to defeat this opponent, he actually had several options.
Whether it was external forces like the Qinglian Demonic Fire, or spatial intent and various precious treasures, any of these would be enough for Qin Chen to gain the upper hand and defeat his opponent.
However, doing so would be akin to cheating. Qin Chen believed that the inheritance of the demonic sword must have been created not merely to allow them to defeat their enemies.
"There must be some secret behind this."
Qin Chen stared intently at the red-robed swordsman, his eyes unblinking.
Whoosh!
A streak of sword light suddenly came at him, nearly piercing through Qin Chen’s skull. The terrifying aura of sword intent caused Qin Chen to feel a moment of suffocation, as if he had fallen into endless destruction, forever unable to turn over.
"Endless... destruction?"
"Endless, destruction!"
Qin Chen murmured, but his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I understand now."
"The opponent's sword intent actually possesses two different attributes: one is endless, and the other is destruction."
"Could it be that the evolutionary direction of sword intent at its peak is to merge sword intents?"
Qin Chen slapped his thigh, "Yes, it's merging sword intent."
His face broke into a look of wild joy.
After reaching the third level of the Sword Control Technique, the unity of man and sword, his comprehension of sword intent had already reached perfection, even to the point of solidifying sword intent into a tangible form.
In his past life, Qin Chen had only reached this point, and he had always struggled to find direction for the next breakthrough in sword intent.
But now, it felt as though he had received a sudden enlightening revelation, and he instantly understood.
Sword intent at its peak is merely a single sword intent. With Qin Chen's talent, the number of sword intents he could master was countless.
Like slaughter!
Like endlessness!
Like destruction!
But all of these were single sword intents!
But what would happen if these individual sword intents were merged? Qin Chen had never imagined it before.
Now, this red-robed swordsman made Qin Chen instantly realize that different sword intents could also be fused; once merged, their power would be exponentially enhanced.
