CHAPTER 604: CHAPTER 602 SWORD INTENT, COMPREHENSION! (4TH UPDATE)

And Lin Fan was still standing in the same place.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt as if everything around him was sealed off!

As if he was mired in a swamp, firmly locked in place!

The power of a Ninth Rank Ancient Saint was truly formidable. For any ordinary cultivator at the Void Refining Realm, just one strike of Sword Qi could cleave Lin Fan in two!

"Such terrifying Sword Intent! Is this the Sword Intent of a Ninth Rank Ancient Saint? Indeed, it’s very powerful! I have to admit!" Lin Fan nodded secretly to himself.

"Although I use a sword as well, all I utilize is brute force; it’s simply impossible for me to employ Sword Intent to kill like Wu Jianfeng! Emperor Jade, do you think if I were to utilize Sword Intent, and combine it with my own terrifying strength, could the force of a single sword strike double?"

"Not just double!" The girl incarnation of Emperor Jade shook her head in Lin Fan’s mind.

"Not just double?"

Lin Fan was somewhat surprised.

"Of course more than double! If you grasp Sword Intent, the power of a single sword strike at least triples or quadruples! If you perfectly comprehend Sword Intent, even a tenfold increase would be normal!" Emperor Jade nodded in reply.

"Damn, why didn’t you tell me earlier!" Lin Fan felt like he had missed out.

He really had missed out!

If he had known earlier that understanding Sword Intent could also enhance the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, Lin Fan would not have gone until now without ever understanding any Sword Intent!

"You never asked!" Emperor Jade responded with a haughty tone.

Lin Fan was somewhat speechless, would he really need to ask about such things?

In Lin Fan’s heart, he thought that with his brute strength in sword usage, there was no need to grasp Sword Intent.

After all.

When he first started using a sword, a casual strike carried the weight of tens of thousands of catties!

Later, it reached millions of catties!

And then.

Tens of millions of catties!

Now, Lin Fan’s single sword strike could unleash five hundred million catties of power; who could imagine it could still combine with Sword Intent?

A great loss!

"If I didn’t ask, would you have been prepared to never tell me this for the rest of my life?" Lin Fan felt somewhat gloomy.

"Pretty much!" Emperor Jade answered with the same haughtiness.

"You... what’s with you? You’re acting strangely today, Emperor Jade, you weren’t like this before!" Lin Fan felt something was odd.

"None of your damn business! Your grandmother here has a few days each month when I am in a bad mood, is that alright?" The girl incarnation of Emperor Jade rolled her eyes.

Lin Fan felt a burst of helplessness.

His conversation with Emperor Jade was through Divine Sense communication, so it happened in the blink of an eye!

At this moment.

Wu Jianfeng’s Sword Qi had already descended!

That terrifying sword light completely engulfed Lin Fan!

"Bang!"

Lin Fan only felt intense pain throughout his body, then he was wrapped in that terrifying Sword Intent as his body rapidly started to tear apart!

However, all of this was enormously beneficial to Lin Fan; being enveloped by Sword Intent, the benefits for his understanding were unimaginable!

To comprehend Sword Intent amidst the attack of a Ninth Rank Ancient Saint, Lin Fan might be the first ever from ancient times to this day!

Of course.

Others could do the same!

But.

Once you do this, it is almost equivalent to falling into a certain death trap!

You may have understood the Sword Intent, but if you die after understanding it, what use would that be?

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Lin Fan felt as if terrifying wounds were opening up all over his body!

But.

The healing speed of Lin Fan’s body was even faster, and before the wounds could even form, his body’s self-healing ability kicked in, almost instantly recovering.

Therefore.

Under the endless envelopment of Sword Intent, Lin Fan’s body kept getting destroyed and healed again!

And destroyed once more!

Restore again!

Repeating this scene!

"What... What’s going on?"

"Damn!"

"I just saw his chest being cleaved open, how did it heal again?"

"I saw it too, his chest was slashed several times, and it also restored itself!"

"What’s happening?"

People around the arena, shocked and frozen in place, completely baffled by what was going on.

This was all too shocking!

Even with Lin Fan’s body and its self-healing powers, isn’t the speed of recovery a bit too fast?

It’s simply abnormal!

Thus, the spectators witnessed the most unforgettable scene of their lives!

Lin Fan’s body, enveloped by that terrifying Sword Qi, initially displayed a wound on the surface...

Then... it healed!

Although, when that sword struck, it was just a fleeting moment!

But.

In that brief instant, Lin Fan’s body was ripped open and healed dozens of times!

All the cultivators present could see it clearly with one glance!

When the sword light disappeared, Lin Fan was still standing there!

Like nothing had happened, with his eyes closed, he was quietly savoring the moment.

"Not dead? Impossible!" Wu Jianfeng’s face was clouded with uncertainty.

His sword strike, which would kill even a Ninth Rank Ancient Saint instantly!

And yet Lin Fan was unharmed? How could it be!

Not just Wu Jianfeng, but the other people present were also stunned!

Wu Jianfeng’s sword was earth-shattering, Lin Fan completely shrouded in Sword Qi, everyone thought Lin Fan would be pulverized in an instant.

But.

Lin Fan was still alive?

"Brother Lin! You’re alright! That’s wonderful!" Ye Yilin jumped up excitedly, throwing aside any pretense of her goddess-like image, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lin Fan... is fine!" Ling Qionglan also breathed a sigh of relief.

The sword strike from Wu Jianfeng just now was too terrifying!

"Dad! What’s going on? Why didn’t you kill him, kill him!" Wu Qian was also stunned for a moment before looking fiercely at her father.

Wu Jianfeng’s brows were deeply furrowed!

At this moment.

The elders in the void were also taken aback!

Hesitation!

Confusion!

"What’s going on? It’s impossible for Wu Jianfeng to have shown mercy. Lin Fan should have been blasted to death on the spot, how is he unharmed? And just now, when that Sword Qi struck, Lin Fan seemed... to only be slightly injured, why wasn’t he reduced to dust?" The elder with a goatee was full of confusion.

Not just him, the other elders in the void were all equally astonished!

At that moment.

The Pavilion Master of the Holy Mansion spoke, "It’s the recovery speed!"

"Recovery speed?" The elders in the void, all startled, looked at the Pavilion Master of the Holy Mansion in surprise.

"Yes! Recovery speed! Normally, even if a cultivator is killed by Sword Qi, there is a process — first it cuts through your skin, then flesh and blood, then internal organs, and then bones! All of this happens so quickly that it seems like a person is slain in an instant!" explained the Pavilion Master of the Holy Mansion.

He continued, "But if your recovery speed is fast enough! That is to say, when that Sword Qi slices open the flesh on Lin Fan’s body, it immediately heals! This gives us a visual misperception, making us think that Wu Jianfeng’s Sword Qi is weak!"

"In reality, it’s not that Wu Jianfeng’s Sword Qi is weak, but rather that Lin Fan’s bodily recovery speed is too powerful!"

Upon hearing the Pavilion Master’s words, the elders in the void couldn’t help but gasp in shock!

"Hiss!"

"How is that possible!"

"Is there such a terrifying physical body? Wu Jianfeng’s sword can turn a person to mist in less than a fraction of a breath, can Lin Fan’s recovery speed truly be faster than that?" The elders all felt chills running down their scalps.

All gazes sharply focused on Lin Fan in the center of the arena!

Not just them, but the eyes of everyone present were firmly fixed on Lin Fan!
