The Daoist was startled by the earlier saber strike.

It was simply too fast. Even if he could sense and clearly see Lin Fei's saber, what difference would it make? The speed was so fast that his body couldn't dodge it. Fortunately, there was a magical artifact!

"You martial artists possess brute strength and painstakingly study combat techniques. But what's the use? If you were an Innate martial artist, perhaps your Innate True Qi could pose a threat to me. However, you are merely an Acquired martial artist. Your inner power is nothing more than mundane strength. How can it possibly affect my magical artifact?"

Lin Fei understood. Finally, he realized why the Sect Master said that Acquired martial artists had difficulty resisting orthodox Qi cultivators.

It turned out that the inner power, brute strength, and combat techniques of Acquired martial artists had little effect on orthodox Qi cultivators. Because a single protective magical artifact could render all these methods useless.

This was the gap between the two power systems. It was impossible to make up for it.

Even if Lin Fei's Saber-drawing Technique was stronger and nurtured for a month or even a year, as long as it was nurtured with inner power, it wouldn't be able to break the Qi cultivator's magical artifact.

Only Innate martial artists, who could unleash Innate True Qi, might be able to break these Qi cultivators' magical artifacts.

"Daring to attack an Immortal Master, you lowly martial artist, you deserve death!" The Daoist coldly snorted.

The next moment, he directly pulled out a handful of talismanic slips from his bosom.

That's right, a handful. Just like the talismanic slips earlier.

Lin Fei's pupils constricted abruptly. He felt threatened.

His movement technique was fast, the earlier talismanic sword couldn't hurt him. But what about ten or twenty?

"Our He Mountain Dao lineage is passed down through talismanic slips. Now, as a mere Acquired mortal, you should feel proud to die under so many talismanic swords!"

With that said, the talismanic swords in the Daoist's hands began to emit beams of light. The Daoist had already infused spiritual power.

He started activating the talismanic swords.

Once the talismanic swords were activated, Lin Fei would face the attack of dozens of them, even an Acquired Twelfth Level martial artist would undoubtedly die!

This was the terrifying aspect of Qi cultivators.

Acquired martial artists couldn't harm Qi cultivators with defensive magical artifacts. On the other hand, Qi cultivators could unleash numerous miraculous and powerful spells to defeat Acquired martial artists. No wonder Acquired martial artists couldn't hold their heads up in front of Qi Condensation cultivators.

Qi Condensation cultivators were naturally born to suppress Acquired martial artists.

"You hide in this turtle shell, thinking I can't do anything to you? An Acquired martial artist can kill you too!"

Lin Fei's eyes were icy cold. At this moment, he no longer hesitated.

"Boom."

Lin Fei fully unleashed his saber intent.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz."

The sabers in the hands of the bailiffs, guards, and even Lin's family guards around him all trembled simultaneously. It was as if they were emitting a faint humming sound.

"Here it comes again, here it comes again."

"What is this?"

"The Second Young Master is emanating such a terrifying aura..."

Ordinary people and martial artists couldn't see the changes in Lin Fei. They could only vaguely sense it. But Qi cultivators were different.

The Daoist had divine sense. With a sweep of his divine sense, he immediately saw an illusory saber appearing above Lin Fei's head.

This saber emitted an endless saber edge. Its sharp aura instantly locked onto the Daoist.

"Could this be... the legendary saber intent of martial artists?"

At this point, the Daoist finally remembered.

There were predecessors who once said that a particular kind of martial artist could pose a strong threat to Qi cultivators.

Those who comprehended the real meaning of martial arts, such as sword intent, saber intent, fist intent, etc. They also were known as Martial Dao True Intent.

The Martial Dao True Intent was invisible and intangible. It was somewhat similar to divine sense but completely different.

It could ignore all spells and magical artifact defenses. Only those with strong divine sense and unwavering will could resist the Martial Dao True Intent of martial artists.

However, comprehending Martial Dao True Intent was extremely difficult. Even many Innate martial artists couldn't comprehend it. The difficulty of understanding Martial Dao True Intent was even greater than achieving Innate!

The Daoist didn't expect that during this trip down the mountain, he would encounter an Acquired martial artist who had comprehended Martial Dao True Intent.

Moreover, it was the saber intent, which had a very powerful attack force among Martial Dao True Intents!

"Slash!"

Lin Fei shouted loudly.

The invisible and intangible saber intent erupted instantly. It was as if a real invisible great saber was descending upon the Daoist.

"No..."

The Daoist finally felt fear. He was scared.

However, the attack of the saber intent couldn't be dodged.

Even though the Daoist desperately activated his magical artifact, it was of no use.

"Thump."

Without any warning, the Daoist fell straight to the ground with his eyes wide open. Although his body remained intact, there was no sign of life left in him.

He was dead!

The Daoist from He Mountain Dao, a respected immortal master.

Just a moment ago, he was showing off his magical artifact, as if he were a real immortal.

But now, with his eyes wide open, he lay dead on the ground, unable to close them.

Silence!

The entire Lin Mansion seemed to become very quiet.

One could hear a pin drop!

Ordinary people or general martial artists couldn't understand what had just happened at all.

It seemed that Lin Fei had just said "slash," They didn't see Lin Fei draw his saber or make any other movements. As a result, the immortal master fell to the ground, completely lifeless.

"What just happened?"

"How could the immortal master be dead?"

"Sir, what should we do?"

For a moment, numerous yamen's constables and runners retreated a few steps away from Lin Fei and looked at each other in disbelief.

Only Lin Fei knew that the Daoist in front of him had been slain by his saber intent. This was also the first time Lin Fei had used saber intent against an enemy, and it was against a powerful and orthodox immortal master!

"Saber intent is truly terrifying! This Daoist should also be at the third level of Qi Condensation.

But he had talisman seals, magical artifacts, and spells, making him countless times stronger than the black-robed Qi cultivator I encountered in Haizhou City.

In fact, there is no comparison. This is a true orthodox Qi cultivator and Acquired martial artists have no qualifications to fight against them.

Any martial artist below Innate, when encountering an orthodox Qi cultivator, can basically only be crushed and have no power to resist. But my saber intent can instantly kill such an orthodox Qi cultivator..."

Lin Fei was also shaken by this realization.

Terrifying!

Too terrifying!

The power of the saber intent far exceeded Lin Fei's imagination. Even, the existence of Martial Dao True Intent could restrain Qi cultivators. At least, it could restrain low-level Qi cultivators.

Lin Fei raised his head and looked at the Prefect. This matter was not over yet. The Daoist was dead. But the Prefect was still there.

"Prefect, do you still think my Lin Mansion is harboring a demon?"

Lin Fei stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze as sharp as a saber, and calmly looked at the Prefect.
