"Kill me?"
The He Mountain Dao's Qi cultivator sneered, "Martial artists' Martial Dao True Intent is indeed powerful, but it's only effective against those with weak wills. Since my childhood, I have practiced the Heart-Calming Technique with an unblemished mind and unwavering will. What's the use of Martial Dao True Intent?"
The He Mountain Dao's Qi cultivator, who dared to challenge Lin Fei, must have had confidence. His confidence was the Heart-Calming Technique!
This was a method that trained the will and strengthens the divine sense. It required a lot of mental energy. But for those in the Qi Condensation realm, it didn't have much use.
The only use was to slightly increase the probability of success during the Foundation Establishment stage. However, very few Qi Condensation cultivators would spend so much energy practicing the Heart-Calming Technique to increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by a little bit. It seemed somewhat not worth it.
Of course, there was another type of person who might practice the Heart-Calming Technique. Those who have absolute confidence in their own Foundation Establishment. They felt that they could definitely succeed in Foundation Establishment 100%. Therefore, they were willing to spare no effort to increase the success rate of the Foundation Establishment even a little bit.
Obviously, this Qi cultivator from He Mountain Dao had such confidence, feeling that he could succeed in Foundation Establishment 100%. So he practiced the Heart-Calming Technique since he was a child.
Martial Dao True Intent, on the other hand, targeted the will and the mind. In this regard, Qi cultivators were far inferior to martial artists.
After all, martial artists had been honing their physical fitness since childhood and training martial arts at the coldest and hottest periods of the year.
Martial artists persist for decades. This unwavering determination was far from what those Qi cultivators, who practiced in the mountains, could compare to. Therefore, Martial Dao True Intent could directly damage the minds of Qi cultivators.
But for martial artists, at most, it could only intimidate them for a moment. Of course, if Lin Fei were to deal with martial artists, with his Martial Dao True Intent-enhanced fist and saber techniques, the power would be multiplied and equally extraordinary.
"Swish."
Lin Fei stood up.
"Lin Fei…" Ling Yao was a bit worried.
"Senior Sister, some things can't be avoided. Since he wants to fight, then I'll accomodate him. This time, I'll unsheathe my saber! Senior Sister Ling's Nine Shadow Saber Technique has also reached perfection, theoretically, you could also comprehend saber intent. Senior Sister, watch closely and see what saber intent is…"
Lin Fei took one step at a time, walking onto the arena.
This battle was not for ranking or profit. Only for victory!
Watching Lin Fei walk onto the stage, everyone under the stage held their breath and focused intently. They knew that this would definitely be a spectacular battle. A great battle between a martial artist and a Qi cultivator!
Both of them stood on the stage, looking at each other from afar.
"He Mountain Dao, He Yunzi!"
"Nine Profound Sect, Lin Fei!"
Both of them announced their names.
It was the first time that Lin Fei learned the name of this He Mountain Dao's Qi cultivator, He Yunzi. Obviously, He Yunzi was the strongest Qi cultivator participating in the Royal Competition this time.
He Mountain Dao had invested heavily, sending He Yunzi down the mountain. And He Yunzi did not disappoint, he secured a spot in the top three of the competition. He could enter the secret realm now.
However, what he wanted to do even more was to defeat Lin Fei to restore the reputation of the He Mountain Dao.
Ever since Lin Fei killed the He Mountain Dao's Qi cultivator, the He Mountain Dao's disciples had been ridiculed among the many Qi cultivators from various immortal sects, losing all face. He Yunzi intended to take it all back from Lin Fei.
"Draw your saber, or else you won't be able to hurt me," He Yunzi said indifferently. A magical artifact had already enveloped He Yunzi's body.
Aside from Martial Dao True Intent and innate true qi, no other power, however strong, could break through the Qi cultivator's magical artifact.
Lin Fei did not speak. Instead, he silently stimulated his fist intent.
"Boom."
This was Lin Fei's fist intent. Imposing and vast, it rolled towards He Yunzi.
"Huh?"
He Yunzi's face changed slightly. It wasn't saber intent.
He knew Lin Fei had saber intent. Lin Fei had previously displayed his fist intent as well. Lin Fei had two types of Martial Dao True Intent.
Although He Yunzi was full of confidence, he was confident but not arrogant, and not reckless either. He was very cautious about Lin Fei's Martial Dao True Intent.
Thus, the moment Lin Fei unleashed his fist intent. He Yunzi had already executed the Heart-Calming Technique.
"Heart-Calming Technique. My thought is a mountain. Nothing can shake my spirit! Even Martial Dao True Intent is nothing but an illusion."
He Yunzi remained motionless, chanting under his breath. Obviously, facing Lin Fei's fist intent, he wasn't as relaxed as he claimed.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Lin Fei did not use the Leaping Technique. Instead, he took one step at a time toward He Yunzi. Because he was stimulating his fist intent, using his fist intent to continuously suppress He Yunzi. With each step closer, the deterrence Lin Fei's fist intent had on He Yunzi became even stronger.
He Yunzi's spirit and willpower were indeed much stronger than those of other Qi cultivators. Even when faced with Lin Fei's mastery fist intent, his mental defense remained unbroken.
His willpower remained unwavering. Even the spiritual power in his body had no fluctuations.
Flawless!
He Yunzi was now almost flawless.
If a Qi cultivator's spiritual power had no fluctuations, then a martial artist's saber, inner power, and martial techniques cannot break through its spiritual power.
However, Lin Fei's fist intent also put immense pressure on He Yunzi. It was like a huge mountain, continuously increasing its weight. He Yunzi was left with no opportunity to use other techniques. He could only endure!
Ling Yao was also a martial artist. Moreover, a martial artist with a perfected saber technique. She had a certain understanding of Martial Dao True Intent. She knew that Martial Dao True Intent could not last long. Martial intent was the embodiment of a martial artist's willpower. It was impossible to maintain it indefinitely.
Although Lin Fei seemed to have the upper hand using his fist intent, preventing He Yunzi from using other techniques. In reality, Lin Fei could not hurt He Yunzi.
As long as He Yunzi's spiritual power remained stable, the defensive magical artifact activated could block any of Lin Fei's attacks, placing him in an invincible position. As time went on, Lin Fei's Martial Dao True Intent would be unable to sustain itself. That would be He Yunzi's opportunity to counterattack!
So, although Lin Fei seemed to have the upper hand now, in fact, his situation was not very optimistic.
However, besides fist intent, Lin Fei also had saber intent. Lin Fei had not used his saber intent. He was looking for a weakness in He Yunzi.
Very few people could see the complicated situation between Lin Fei and He Yunzi. However, everyone could see the situation between the two seemed to be at a stalemate. Moreover, He Yunzi had not made a move. But once he did, Lin Fei would most likely be defeated!
No one said another word. Everyone was silently focusing on the movements in the arena, afraid of missing any details.
In the arena, Lin Fei's pace was neither fast nor slow. He still approached He Yunzi step by step.
Originally, the distance between the two was about twenty steps. And now, Lin Fei had already covered half the distance. The pressure of his fist intent had almost reached its peak that even cold sweat appeared on He Yunzi's forehead. Obviously, He Yunzi was not at ease.
It was said that Martial Dao True Intent was an illusion, but that was not entirely true. Martial Dao True Intent was merely intangible and invisible.
It was a real attack. It was a form of power. It can't be called an illusion. If one cannot block it, then it cannot be blocked. There was no luck involved.
He Yunzi had been practicing Heart-Calming Technique since he was a child. It did make his spirit and willpower much stronger than ordinary Qi Condensation cultivators.
However, a Qi Condensation cultivator was still just a Qi Condensation cultivator. No matter how strong their spirit and willpower were, there was a limit.
Therefore, Lin Fei's mastery fist intent was already the limit that He Yunzi could endure. Not revealing any flaws was He Yunzi's greatest fortune.
Nine steps, eight steps, seven steps, six steps, five steps...
He Yunzi's pressure was getting heavier and heavier. A thought began to emerge in his mind.
Lin Fei still had saber intent that he hadn't used. Once he used the saber intent, could he withstand it?
Once this thought appeared, it could not be erased. It even became uncontrollable, intensifying and echoing in He Yunzi's mind.
Suddenly, Lin Fei stopped, at a distance of three steps in front of He Yunzi. His gaze was fixed on He Yunzi. His eyes were calm as if nothing could affect his emotions.
"Your spirit has finally shown a flaw! You can't block my saber!"
Lin Fei's hand slowly grasped the Hidden Saber at his waist!
"Kill me?"
The He Mountain Dao's Qi cultivator sneered, "Martial artists' Martial Dao True Intent is indeed powerful, but it's only effective against those with weak wills. Since my childhood, I have practiced the Heart-Calming Technique with an unblemished mind and unwavering will. What's the use of Martial Dao True Intent?"
