Chapter 1137: Failed Breakthrough 💔

Published: December 25, 2024

After Qin Chen continued his journey on the Supreme Sword Path for half a day, another sword intent simulation appeared ahead, condensing into a martial artist dressed in a silver robe.

Buzz!

The other party emitted a heart-pounding sword intent aura, as if the entire world was about to be cleaved apart by this sword intent.

This shouldn't be another assessment martial artist, right?

"Hey, state your name."

Qin Chen, afraid of another misunderstanding, quickly shouted out.

The silver-robed martial artist remained silent and directly slashed toward Qin Chen's head with a sword.

It shouldn't be the case!

Qin Chen was already frightened by the previous Ji Ruyue, and if there was another misunderstanding, it would be troublesome.

At the same time, he felt relieved; it seemed that the Supreme Sword Path did not stop manifesting sword intent forms just because Ji Ruyue had already passed through.

Swish!

Qin Chen gripped the mysterious rusty sword and engaged in a fierce battle with the silver figure.

Now that there was no crisis, Qin Chen did not think of defeating the opponent immediately.

The sword intent figures condensed on the Supreme Sword Path would increase in strength with each encounter. As long as the challenger carefully summarized and analyzed the opponent's strengths, they could make progress.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two fought ferociously; with previous battle experience, Qin Chen felt even more at ease, defending while observing the opponent's sword intent.

This time, the opponent's sword intent, based on the fusion of attribute sword intents, seemed to undergo change. The sword intent was incredibly terrifying, as if it had merged with the entire void. When a sword was slashed, it felt not merely like facing a sword but an entire world.

What kind of technique is this?

Qin Chen knew that when sword intent was cultivated to the extreme, it indeed possessed unpredictable might. For example, after the slaughter sword intent was honed to perfection, a single sword strike would not only release a killing aura but also evoke a feeling of life and death beyond human control.

But this time was different; when the opponent slashed, it felt as if the heavens and earth transformed into a sharp sword, aiming to kill him and bind him.

Initially, Qin Chen thought this was also a type of sword intent or perhaps the result of a certain attribute sword intent fused to perfection. However, upon careful distinction, he realized it was not so.

This seemed to be a brand new application of sword intent, an application that Qin Chen had never experienced before.

Could this be the deeper application of sword intent after being honed to perfection?

Qin Chen was extremely excited.

In his previous life, he was stuck at the extremes of attribute sword intent, but after that, he had no direction on how to proceed. He had not discovered a higher path before being betrayed by Shangguan Xi'er.

Now, on this Supreme Sword Path, he first learned about the fusion of sword intents.

However, the fusion of sword intents could only be considered a deeper application of sword intent.

What he felt now, this state of mind, thrilled him immensely, as if he had glimpsed a new path after reaching the pinnacle of sword intent.

Qin Chen fixed his gaze on the opponent, continuously trying to comprehend, attempting to imprint this feeling in his mind for control.

But no matter how he sensed it, there remained a layer of separation, as if something clearly lay in front of him, yet was obscured by a thin veil, making it intangible.

Time to stop wasting time.

After battling for a full hour, Qin Chen still could not grasp this feeling, nor could he comprehend the next level of sword intent after the attribute sword intent.

He understood that it wasn't due to his lack of comprehension; rather, the silver-robed figure itself had not reached this level. Continuing to perceive would yield no further gains.

Boom!

With the sword technique pushed to its limit, Qin Chen unleashed his full strength, and the torrent of sword energy surged through the air, instantly causing the silver-robed figure to dissipate.
