175: You are the ones who deserve to die.

This was simply the cruelest joke.

It gave Chu He hope, only to completely snatch it away.

Clearly, after Chu He comprehended Saber Intent, he no longer feared the two scions and could even kill them.

But he no longer had the strength to fight.

He possessed sufficiently powerful combat ability, yet lost the qualification to use it.

He had a chance to live, but couldn't grasp it. Was there anything more cruel in this world?

Chu He's face was filled with unwillingness; he desperately wanted to question the Heavens.

But now, he didn't even have the strength to roar.

"Saber Intent! That must have been Saber Intent just now! This kid actually comprehended the first level of Saber Intent during the battle."

The Wen Family scion quickly reacted, understanding what had happened.

He spoke with lingering fear.

That one saber strike earlier had made him feel the threat of death.

Hiss!

The Xu Family scion gasped, taking a sharp breath.

It was Saber Intent.

How could this trash, of all people, comprehend Saber Intent?

"He almost got a chance to turn the tables. Fortunately, he was already severely injured before, and now he doesn't have any Origin Qi left to continue fighting. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

The Wen Family scion continued.

He patted his chest in fear.

"Hahaha, the Heavens are still on our side. Trash is just trash; it's impossible for him to achieve a Heaven-Defying comeback."

The Xu Family scion's expression also returned to normal, and he spoke with renewed arrogance.

So what if Chu He comprehended Saber Intent?

He no longer had the ability to fight.

The scales of final victory still tilted towards them.

"Kill him, and eliminate future troubles."

The Wen Family scion said decisively.

If Chu He was given time to recover, then they would be dead.

Now, it was better to strike first and completely eliminate this menace.

With that, the two surrounded Chu He.

At this moment, Chu He's heart was like dead ash.

He had seen hope, only to fall back into despair. This kind of blow, even with his iron-willed personality, was somewhat unbearable.

"Cough, cough!"

Chu He coughed up blood and said, "What a pity. If I had comprehended Saber Intent earlier, I would have definitely killed both of you."

The Wen Family scion extended his index finger and wiggled it, "There are no 'ifs' in this world."

The Xu Family scion was even more disdainful, "Unfortunately, the current outcome is that you will die by our hands, Chu He. This day next year will be your death anniversary. Prepare to die!"

With that, the two were about to strike.

Seeing this, Shen Xi no longer watched.

Now that Chu He had successfully comprehended Saber Intent, he could also step in to help.

"Oh? I don't think it's Chu He's death anniversary!"

Shen Xi, stepping on Azure Lotus Sword Step, appeared in front of the two scions.

"Who are you?"

"Kid, get lost immediately, or don't blame me for killing you too!"

The two scions were startled and shouted sternly.

Shen Xi's sudden appearance made them feel a faint unease.

As for Chu He, he looked at Shen Xi with surprise, "Brother Shen, why are you here!"

At this moment, Chu He was as excited as a traveler about to die of thirst seeing a glass of water.

The moment he saw Shen Xi, he knew he wouldn't die.

"So you're Chu He's friend. In that case, you don't need to live either."

"Idiot, daring to get involved in this mess. Your brain must have been kicked by a donkey."

The two scions realized that Shen Xi and Chu He knew each other, and their expressions grew even colder.

Without another word, they directly attacked.

"You are the ones who should die."

Shen Xi waved his hand, and the two scions' attacks were dissolved into nothingness.

He took another step, and the Azure Lotus Sword Step vibrated with countless Sword Qi, cutting numerous fine wounds into their bodies.

This was still Shen Xi holding back.

He didn't intend to kill the two scions directly.

Through the conversation between the two scions and Chu He, he had roughly understood what was happening.

This was Chu He's deep-seated blood feud, and naturally, Chu He should take revenge with his own hands.

"What!"

"How can he be so strong!"

The two scions were stunned, screaming in disbelief.

Shen Xi hadn't even initiated an attack; he had merely taken a step.

The Sword Qi of the Azure Lotus Sword Step had already left them covered in wounds.

Even with their full resistance, they still couldn't withstand the damage caused by the Sword Qi.

This level of strength was simply beyond what they could handle.

Run!

Only by leaving here would they have a chance to live!

This thought simultaneously appeared in both their minds.

Facing Shen Xi, they didn't even dare to entertain the thought of fighting.

Thinking this, the two scions immediately turned to flee.

"Trying to run? Did I agree?"

Shen Xi took another step.

The Sword Qi of the Azure Lotus Sword Step crisscrossed, blocking their escape route.

Humph!

Then, with a cold snort, accompanied by the illusionary effects of the Illusory Void Scripture, the two immediately felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.

This was simply a one-sided crush!

Shen Xi didn't even need to personally act; he had already rendered the two incapable of fighting.

"Take the Medicinal Pill, heal your injuries. I'll leave these two for you to personally finish off."

Shen Xi didn't continue his attack, turning to speak to Chu He.

Chu He nodded gratefully upon hearing this, took out a bottle of healing Medicinal Pills from his spatial ring, and began to recover his Origin Qi.

Time passed bit by bit.

Chu He's condition gradually recovered.

During this time, the two scions also woke up from the illusion, but before they could react, another cold snort from Shen Xi plunged them back into the illusion.

The Illusory Void Scripture, forged from Huan Xu's lifelong learning, was that overbearing.

Finally, Chu He had fully recovered, and Shen Xi also lifted the illusion on the two scions.

He gazed at the two and said coldly, "Do you want to live?"

The two scions quickly nodded, "Yes, of course, we do. Please, spare our lives."

The two scions had completely given up resisting.

They knew that in front of Shen Xi, their resistance was useless.

Cooperating meant a chance to live.

Resisting only meant death.

"Then defeat Chu He, and I'll spare your lives."

With that, Shen Xi stepped aside.

This was Chu He's grudge, and only Chu He could personally settle it.

"Just defeat Chu He?"

"To live, I'll fight with all I have!"

The two scions gritted their teeth and said.

Although they knew Chu He had comprehended Saber Intent, this didn't mean they had no chance.

What if they succeeded?

With this thought, the two scions decided to fight desperately.

"Come, let's fight!"

Chu He gripped his long saber and beckoned to the two.

The next second, the battle erupted.

The second after that, the two scions crashed to the ground!

Chu He, having comprehended Saber Intent, possessed combat ability capable of crushing the two scions, having reached the Houtian Major Completion.

Even when fighting with all their might, the two scions couldn't withstand the might of Chu He's single saber strike.

With just one saber strike, the two scions died!
