"Puh."
Shen Lianxin's robe was torn apart in an instant. Stunning bloodstains covered his body, making him look like a blood man.
However, Shen Lianxin did not fall. He reached out his hand, touching a bloodstain on his neck. This bloodstain was very shallow. Although it was also bleeding, it was just a skin wound. If it was a little deeper, it would have cut the carotid artery.
At that time, the blood would not stop, even if he was a martial arts Grand Master, he cannot escape the fate of death.
Shen Lianxin's expression was somewhat complex, and he asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you kill me? Your saber energy can tear my body apart. But why did you hold back your saber energy at the last moment?"
Shen Lianxin knew very well. If Lin Fei didn't hold back his saber energy at the last moment, he would definitely died!
For Shen Lianxin, death was not something to be afraid of. He had been looking for exotic beasts all over the place, but there was no hope at all. In his lifetime, he could never reach body perfection nor could he establish a foundation to become a Martial Saint.
Therefore, even if he had good luck and obtained countless superior saber techniques and martial arts, what about it? A hundred years later, it's still a mound of yellow earth. Dying in the hands of a top saber master could be considered a worthy life.
Lin Fei looked at Shen Lianxin. He calmly said, "There are too few real saber masters in the world. If I become a Martial Saint in the future, but there are no peers, how lonely it would be? Besides, your talent in saber techniques is no less than mine. If you die now, won't there be one less stunning Human Saber Saint in the future?"
"Saber Saint?"
Shen Lianxin sighed deeply and shook his head, "Although your True Qi has not reached perfection, with your strength and status, you must have known about martial arts foundation building, right?
In Great Chang, exotic beasts have become extinct. I have searched everywhere, even all over Great Chang. But there is not a trace of an exotic beast."
Without the flesh and blood of an exotic beast, how can one achieve body perfection? If the body is not perfect, one can never become a Martial Saint, so, whether it's a Martial Saint or a Saber Saint, no matter how stunning you are, in the end, you are just a mound of yellow earth."
Obviously, Shen Lianxin had given up. He couldn't become a Martial Saint. No matter how high the talent of the saber technique was, what was the use? Not dead now. A hundred years later, he would die.
"Yes, without the flesh and blood of exotic beasts, whether it's a Saber Saint or a Martial Saint, it's ultimately an unreachable dream!"
Lin Fei also sighed. The founder of the Nine Profound Sect probably experienced such despair.
"Lin Fei, I owe you a life. If you need me someday. You can take this life!"
Shen Lianxin said solemnly. Then, he turned around and prepared to leave. This time it was over. Having seen the saber technique of the "Immortal Slayer Saber", he had no regrets. He would return to the countryside and end this crippled life.
"Interested in hunting exotic beasts?"
Suddenly, Lin Fei's voice came from behind.
"Whoosh."
Shen Lianxin abruptly turned around, staring intently at Lin Fei. Even his gaze was like a sharp saber.

"You... what did you just say?"
"Hunting exotic beasts, are you interested?"
"Exotic beasts... you know where the exotic beasts are?"
Shen Lianxin was very excited. Originally, he had completely given up. He thought he could not become a Martial Saint in this life. But now, Lin Fei's words gave him a glimmer of hope.
"Yes, I know something about the whereabouts of exotic beasts. So, do you dare to hunt exotic beasts?"
"Hahaha, the heavens have mercy, the path of martial arts is not cut off! Hunt exotic beasts, why not? I've been waiting for this day for twenty years!"
Shen Lianxin's body once again emitted a terrifying saber intent. It was as if he had turned back into a peerless saber. Sharp and compelling!
"Where are the exotic beasts?"
"Don't worry, wait for me for a while, my saber intent is about to reach perfection!"
"Saber intent perfection?"
Shen Lianxin suddenly looked at Lin Fei, unsure. He just remembered Lin Fei was testing his saber technique with all the saber masters in the world. Now, Lin Fei has defeated him.
Did that mean he had succeeded in testing the saber?
However, Lin Fei did not speak. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, and the saber intent on his body began to radiate little by little. At the same time, a system voice sounded in Lin Fei's mind.
"Your martial art, Heavenly Saber Art, has captured the innate perfection level saber technique, Mountain Saber Technique. Training progress increased by 10%."
"Your martial art, Heavenly Saber Art, has captured the innate perfection level saber technique, Ultimate Saber Slash. Training progress increased by 20%."
"Your martial art, Heavenly Saber Art, has given birth to saber intent!"
Lin Fei was somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, Shen Lianxin actually possessed two innate perfection-level saber techniques. Moreover, one of them could actually increase the training progress of Heavenly Saber Art by 20%. This was enough to show the terror of this saber technique. It was by no means a common innate saber technique.
However, whether it was an increase of 20% or 10%, actually, it's the same. Because once the training progress of Heavenly Saber Art reaches 100%, it would generate saber intent. And now, the saber intent was born.
"Hum."
A dominant and unparalleled saber intent suddenly erupted from Lin Fei's body. At the same time, Shen Lianxin's saber was even shaking violently. Obviously, it was also affected by Lin Fei's saber intent.
"Your saber intent of Saber Drawing Technique is trying to devour the saber intent Heavenly Saber Art."
"The two saber intents have started to duel."
"The duel is in progress..."
Then, Lin Fei began to concentrate his consciousness in his mind again. At the same time, two distinct saber intents appeared on Lin Fei.
For Shen Lianxin, who was very sensitive to saber intent, noticed it immediately.
"Two saber intents?"
Shen Lianxin was very surprised. Lin Fei actually comprehended two saber intents. This was very rare in the world!
Shen Lianxin himself had achieved saber intent perfection. He knew very well. Comprehending one kind of saber intent is already very difficult, let alone comprehending two saber intents.
Usually, one would comprehend a kind of saber intent, then use this saber intent as a foundation, continuously refining and understanding it. Finally, train it to perfection.
And Lin Fei? Seemed to be taking a different path.
"Two saber intents are conflicting, but Lin Fei did not interfere, instead letting the two saber intents conflict. Could it be that he's walking the path of merging saber intents? He wants to merge two kinds of saber intents, and then make the saber intent reach perfection?"
Shen Lianxin thought of a possibility. However, merging saber intents was much more difficult than simply comprehending a single saber intent to perfection. Not many people would choose this method of merging saber intents.
However, if this method was successful, the saber intent would be very strong. It would possess the characteristics and advantages of two kinds of saber intents.
Moreover, if one could truly comprehend saber intent at an extremely fast speed, then, merging saber intents could also make the saber intent reach perfection in the shortest time.
Clearly, Lin Fei was such a top talent. At a young age, he had comprehended two kinds of saber intents.
At this moment, in Lin Fei's mind, the Saber-drawing Technique's saber intent and the Heavenly Saber's saber intent were fiercely fighting.
The Heavenly Saber's saber intent, although it had just been born and even the Mastery couldn't be considered, it was too powerful that even able to make other saber techniques bow down. This was the reason why when the Heavenly Saber was out, all the sabers bow down.
Therefore, the saber intent born of Heavenly Saber Art was naturally extremely powerful. Even if the saber intent of the Saber-drawing Technique had already transcended, it was still unable to devour Heavenly Saber Art in a short time.
At this time, Lin Fei needed to intervene. Saber-drawing Technique's saber intent? Or Heavenly Saber's saber intent? He fell into a dilemma.
However, no matter which saber intent was the main one, Lin Fei must make a choice.
