174: Comprehending the Sword Intent

This was an unexpected gain.

Originally, in Shen Xi's plan, he was supposed to release his Origin Qi to its maximum, and after confirming that there were no traces of the fat man and his companions, he would stop releasing it, and then continue in a new location.

This could minimize consumption to the greatest extent and maintain a sufficiently long endurance.

But even so, recovery ultimately couldn't keep up with consumption. Shen Xi could at most explore one-tenth of the Third Zone before he had to stop and recover his Origin Qi.

At this rate, it would take Shen Xi at least a day and a night to explore the Third Zone and determine if the fat man and his companions were there.

But now, with the blessing of the spirit, Shen Xi hardly needed to rest or recover his Origin Qi.

This greatly increased his exploration efficiency.

Without rest, Shen Xi could explore the Third Zone in two hours and Move on to the next area.

Thinking of this, a brilliant smile appeared on Shen Xi's face.

"Master, what are you smiling about?"

Situ Ye asked, puzzled.

"I thought of something happy."

Shen Xi replied casually.

He didn't waste any more time. After confirming that there were no traces of the fat man and his companions nearby, he immediately went to a new location and continued his previous actions... On the other side.

Chu He was covered in blood, panting heavily.

Under the siege of the two scions, he was already covered in wounds, and his Origin Qi was almost exhausted.

If this continued, he would only die!

"Hahaha, Chu He, weren't you very arrogant? Now I want to see how you can continue to be arrogant!"

"Trash is just trash. In front of absolute strength, it's not worth mentioning at all. Even if you're given a chance, you're destined to make no waves."

The two scions mocked Chu He with all their might.

Although they also had injuries, they were insignificant compared to Chu He's.

These were still injuries Chu He barely inflicted on them in his desperate struggle, otherwise, in front of the absolute disparity in strength, Chu He couldn't threaten them in the slightest.

"Could it be that the heavens truly want me, Chu He, to die here?"

Chu He was already in despair.

He fought with all his might, but still couldn't change his current predicament.

These two were truly too strong, so strong that he had no ability to resist.

He tried to break through, but was stopped by the two again and again.

He also tried to severely injure the two, but each time he struck with all his might, at most he only left some insignificant scratches on them.

Now, he was already severely injured, but the two's injuries were almost nonexistent.

He was exhausted, while the two were still full of vitality.

How could he fight like this?

He no longer had the right to fight!

"I won't give up! Even if I fight until the last moment, until the last drop of blood, I won't give up!"

Chu He roared to the sky. As a member of the Chu Family, how could he give up so easily?

He had endured so many years of hardship, was it just to surrender when facing his enemies?

Chu He couldn't do it!

And he wouldn't do it!

He would fight until the last moment!

"Then I'll make you shed your last drop of blood!"

The Wen Family scion sneered incessantly.

Behind him, streaks of gun aura appeared.

This was their Wen Family's inherited Martial Arts, the Wen Family Spear Art.

"I'll send you on your way!"

The Xu Family scion also roared.

His fists were accumulating power. This was to launch a final strike, to completely kill Chu He.

"Who wins and who loses is still uncertain!"

Chu He's eyes gradually became firm.

Even if they died, Chu Family members would only die standing.

Unconsciously, a special feeling surged in Chu He's heart... "Found him!"

After his one hundred and twenty-third release of Origin Qi, Shen Xi finally sensed Chu He's aura.

Not only that, he also understood Chu He's current situation.

This made Shen Xi's brows furrow, wanting to rush out immediately to rescue him.

But the next second, Shen Xi stopped.

He felt a subtle change in Chu He's aura.

"This is... Concept!"

Soon, Shen Xi determined the reason for the change in Chu He's aura.

Under the siege of two strong enemies, the other party actually had an Epiphany under high pressure, touching the threshold of Concept.

Realizing this, Shen Xi rushed in Chu He's direction but did not intend to intervene.

Currently, Chu He had only touched the threshold of Concept and had not truly crossed this threshold to comprehend Concept.

This was a rare opportunity for Chu He, and unless absolutely necessary, Shen Xi did not intend to disrupt it.

"I'll just guard nearby. As long as Chu He isn't in mortal danger, I won't intervene."

Shen Xi quickly made a decision.

While muttering to himself, he had already arrived near Chu He and witnessed the changes happening to him.

He saw that Chu He's aura gradually became sharp.

A unique domineering Saber Intent began to condense and take shape.

"Just a little bit more!"

Shen Xi was genuinely happy for Chu He.

Although he comprehended Sword Intent, and Chu He was now comprehending Saber Intent, there were commonalities between different Concepts.

As someone who had experienced it, Shen Xi knew that Chu He was just one step away from comprehending Saber Intent First Heaven.

"Die for me!"

"Chu He, I'll send you down to reunite with your family!"

The two scions attacked.

Gun aura and fist shadows struck simultaneously.

This was their strongest attack, determined to kill Chu He on the spot.

Just at this critical moment, Chu He finally crossed that final step.

His hair flew, and his domineering aura was fully unleashed.

"You are the ones who should die!"

Saying that, Chu He gripped the long saber in his hand and slashed outwards fiercely.

This saber strike had no Martial Arts Moves, no techniques to speak of, only the domineering power of Saber Intent First Heaven.

But even so, this saber strike still carried a mighty pressure, crushing the two's attacks completely like a force of nature.

Ultimately, this saber strike, the gun aura, and the fist shadow disappeared simultaneously, a perfectly even match.

"How could this be!"

"No, it's impossible. He's already severely injured and dying, how could he block our full-power attack?"

The two scions were so shocked their jaws almost dropped.

This scene far exceeded their expectations.

A severely injured and dying person, someone whose strength was originally far inferior to theirs, actually blocked their combined attack in such a situation?

This was simply a fantasy.

"Cough, cough!"

On the other side, after unleashing this saber strike, Chu He began to cough frantically.

He was already exhausted, and this saber strike had drained the last bit of Origin Qi from his body.

Now he couldn't even stand steadily.

This filled Chu He's eyes with despair.

How could this be?

Was the heavens playing a joke on him?

At the last moment, he comprehended Saber Intent, but it also exhausted his last bit of Origin Qi, leaving him completely without the ability to fight.
