159. Top Match

Lin Fei slowly stood up. He stared directly at this middle-aged man. This was the only one, and possibly the last one, who sought him out for a saber debate. And also, a saber practitioner who considered life and death.

Lin Fei felt a sense of respect. This was a real martial artist, a true saber master!

"Nine Profound Sect, Lin Fei!"

"Wanderer of the martial world, Shen Lianxin!"

A flash of enlightenment struck Lin Fei's mind.

"Twenty years ago, there was a transient figure in the martial world, Shen Lianxin, a saber fanatic who defeated all opponents across two states with a single saber!"

Lin Fei finally remembered. Since he was aiming to meet all the saber masters under the heavens with his saber. He naturally had to know about the top saber masters in Great Chang. He had also asked Ling Yao to collect the list of all the top saber masters in the past fifty years. Among them, was Saber Fanatic Shen Lianxin.

However, the information that Lin Fei collected clearly stated twenty years ago, Shen Lianxin suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared. Like a flash in the pan, it was only three months.

But during those three months, Shen Lianxin, with a single saber, defeated all the martial arts Masters of the two states and eighteen prefectures! He also got a nickname in the martial world, known as the "Saber Fanatic".

However, the Saber Fanatic then disappeared, vanishing without a trace. No one could investigate any clues as if evaporated from the world out of thin air.

When Lin Fei first saw "Saber Fanatic" Shen Lianxin. He didn't really care. After all, the records at that time stated Shen Lianxin was only at the mid-stage of a Master. Not worth mentioning.

With Lin Fei's strength, even a Grand Master in martial arts was not his opponent, let alone a mid-stage martial artist Master. Perhaps, only an opponent like Liu Yibai from Hidden Sword Sect was worthy of Lin Fei's attention.

However, he didn't expect this "Saber Fanatic" to actually come to him. Moreover, he even dared to initiate a "saber debate". Truly worthy of the name "Saber Fanatic". Obsessed with the saber, regardless of all costs!

Shen Lianxin didn't speak. He slowly reached out to the hilt of his saber. However, he didn't rashly draw his saber.

At their level, who struck first and who struck last didn't really matter anymore. A single saber could decide victory or defeat!

"Boom."

Lin Fei's saber intent exploded at the moment Shen Lianxin's hand had just grasped the hilt of his saber.

As a saber master especially one who had comprehended saber intent, even reaching saber intent transcendence, all saber practitioners were at a natural disadvantage in front of Lin Fei. For some saber practitioners with a weaker will, in front of Lin Fei, even drawing their sabers was a luxury.

The vast saber intent like a raging flood surged toward Shen Lianxin. It was as if thousands of sabers were cutting at Shen Lianxin. However, the moment Shen Lianxin's hand grasped the hilt of his saber, a more terrifying saber intent shot up to the sky.

"Buzz."

The void seemed to twist all at once. Lin Fei's eyes narrowed sharply. He sensed a terrifying saber intent from the Saber Fanatic, exploding in an instant.

Moreover, this saber intent was extremely condensed! Also extremely pure, it was like a regular saber, but it was this purity that was very terrifying. Because this was saber intent perfection!

For the first time, Lin Fei's saber intent was suppressed. Even though his saber intent was transcendent, at this moment, it was also suppressed.

"Good, a good Saber Fanatic!"

A strange light flashed in Lin Fei's eyes.

Shen Lianxin, who had sealed his saber for twenty years, was very different from Li Sandao, who had buried his saber for forty years.

Shen Lianxin, even if his saber was sealed, his heart had a saber. In fact, in every moment of the past twenty years, he had been progressing. It seemed like his saber was sealed, but he was actually comprehending the saber!

Shen Lianxin twenty years ago, surely his saber technique was powerful. Even, he had also comprehended saber intent. Whether it was mastery or transcendence, but definitely not perfection.

But, just twenty years. Saber Fanatic Shen Lianxin's saber intent had already reached perfection. This was something Shen Lianxin comprehended entirely on his own. By himself, he had slowly elevated his saber intent to perfection.

And what about Li Sandao?

Forty years. Only simplified three saber moves into one.

The vast saber intent suppressed Lin Fei firmly. For the first time, Lin Fei was suppressed by someone else's Martial Dao True Intent. He also felt the pain as if there was always a saber edge cutting his body. It seemed like at any moment, there was a hanging saber that would fall and kill him. This was the feeling of being suppressed by saber intent.

Lin Fei knew that he couldn't win against Shen Lianxin with saber intent. Therefore, he didn't hesitate and immediately mobilized all the Saber Qi in his body.

"Boom."

A saber energy of up to two hundred and fifty meters appeared. It was vast and traversed in the void.

Heavenly Saber!

Lin Fei directly condensed a Heavenly Saber. With the appearance of the Heavenly Saber, an invisible momentum enveloped the entire void.

The momentum of the Heavenly Saber!

Once Heavenly Saber Art reached perfection, it could generate the momentum of the Heavenly Saber.

Back then, Lin Fei used the momentum of the Heavenly Saber, suppressed the strength of five top-tier Qi Condensation cultivators, and killed all of them.

Now, with the emergence of the momentum of the Heavenly Saber, Lin Fei, who was originally suppressed by Shen Lianxin's saber intent, that feeling of being suppressed has reduced by about eighty to ninety percent. Only a little bit was left.

At the same time, Shen Lianxin felt a kind of suppression.

"This is..."

A glint flashed in Shen Lianxin's eyes. He had never seen this kind of power. This kind of suppression made him feel as if there was a flash of insight in his mind. It seemed that saber intent could also be like this.

Suppression!

To suppress with a certain power!

Shen Lianxin's saber intent had already reached perfection. But he didn't know that the above saber intent was saber momentum. He just saw Lin Fei's Heavenly Saber momentum and immediately had an outburst of inspiration and a slight touch of his saber intent. This understanding of the saber could be described as terrifying!

However, no matter what his realization was, it must be after this battle. If he failed in this battle, that was death! When dead, everything is in vain!

Therefore, when Lin Fei's saber energy and Heavenly Saber momentum had not reached their peak, Shen Lianxin drew his saber.

"Swish".

This saber was earth-shattering. Quick to the extreme and also simple to the extreme. Just like the Saber-drawing Technique. Yes, it was the Saber-drawing Technique! Lin Fei saw a shadow of the Saber-drawing Technique in it.

"Ultimate Saber Slash!"

Shen Lianxin's voice echoed in the void. At the same time, a more than two hundred meters huge saber glow that seemed no less than Lin Fei's saber energy suddenly penetrated the void. There was also a sharp edge and an unparalleled Innate True Qi.

This saber exhausted Shen Lianxin's twenty years of accumulation! This was not the Saber-drawing Technique but the Ultimate Saber Slash he created by referring to the Saber-drawing Technique.

Dangerous!

Lin Fei felt a trace of danger. Ever since he understood the saber intent, for the first time, Lin Fei felt danger in a battle with a martial artist. Even when he was in the Hidden Sword Sect, fighting against Liu Yibai, the number one swordsman in the world, Lin Fei did not feel this kind of danger.

And now, he felt danger. That saber glow was very terrifying. Moreover, Shen Lianxin's Innate True Qi, obviously, had also reached perfection. Shen Lianxin was a martial arts Grand Master!

True Qi perfection, saber intent perfection! Shen Lianxin could be described as the strongest martial artist Lin Fei has ever encountered!

"Heavenly Saber Art, Slash!"

Facing this saber, Lin Fei also didn't think about anything. Without any reservation, instantly erupted all his Saber Qi.

Immediately, that two hundred and fifty meters Heavenly Saber in the void was also directly vast and mighty, with the momentum of Heaven falling, slashed fiercely toward Shen Lianxin.

"Boom."

Saber glow and saber energy collided with each other. This was their strongest blow. Endless saber energy and saber glow were entangled and collided crazily.

At the same time, they were also wreaking havoc in the void. Even on the lake's surface, it set off waves of shockwaves, like rolling waves.

"Ch."

A saber glow cut open Lin Fei's arm and drew a half-finger-long bloodstain.

Lin Fei did not move. He looked at Shen Lianxin not far away.
