Martial Saint through Reading

"Senior Brother..." Shang Yi was startled awake by that stick and looked at Yann Luo with lingering fear.

The shock was still evident on Yann Luo’s face, but when he saw Hei Qing’s weakening aura after wielding that stick, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Junior Brother, Hei Qing can’t maintain that state for long. Let’s each flank him and entangle him until his Qi Blood is exhausted... hmph hmph!"

Yann Luo was not mistaken; Hei Qing’s Black Pupil amplification could indeed not last long.

Thus, it had to be a quick battle.

Hei Qing smashed down with a heaven-shaking stick, quickly followed by the second, third stick...

One stick after another.

It seemed immensely powerful, but each one was dodged by Yann Luo and Shang Yi.

After the seventh stick, the power of the eighth began to wane.

Upon the thirteenth stick, a sense of weakness surged within Hei Qing.

The thirteenth stick was smashed out.

Bang!

Yet the power was not even half of the previous one!

Yann Luo’s eyes flickered and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Attack!"

With a low growl, the two great National Guardian experts of the Jingyue Kingdom launched their attack from both sides with their National Treasures towards Hei Qing.

But before they got within a hundred meters of Hei Qing, a black figure gently descended, standing in mid-air between both sides.

Yann Luo and Shang Yi were taken aback, halting their advance abruptly.

In the rear, Hei Qing, who had lost his Black Pupil’s amplification of Qi Blood, stood pale-faced, gripping his Vine Stick and staring at the black-clothed silhouette ahead.

The figure was naturally Chu Ming, who was observing and comprehending the Silent Extinction True Intent.

His appearance at this moment was because it was a critical time for comprehending the Silent Extinction True Intent, and Hei Qing had stopped due to a lack of Qi Blood.

Hei Qing could not die; he needed to observe more True Intent techniques.

"Who are you?" Yann Luo’s face was cold and stern.

Chu Ming did not answer, he only glanced at the two of them, then slowly turned to face Hei Qing, cupping his fists, and said, "Aren’t you going to restore your Qi Blood?"

Hei Qing was stunned for a moment, seemingly not understanding the meaning of the young man in black, then suddenly remembered something and quickly took out an elixir to restore his Qi Blood and swallowed it.

On the other side, seeing this scene, Yann Luo and Shang Yi were bursting with anger.

"Are you planning to interfere?" Yann Luo suppressed his anger.

But the response he got was still the back of the young man in black.

Upon seeing Hei Qing swallow the elixir, Chu Ming flipped his hand to produce a Second-class Xuanbao Battle Saber and said, "Come on."

He intended to continue comprehending the Silent Extinction True Intent by battling Hei Qing.

As his words fell, his figure flashed, already slashing towards Hei Qing with the saber.

That stroke contained the Silent Extinction True Intent.

In the eyes of Yann Luo and Shang Yi, however, the power of the stroke wielded by the young man in black seemed insignificant.

Not just them, but the one whom the stroke was aimed at, Hei Qing, also did not feel much threat.

In the rear.

"Senior Brother, this person’s strength appears to be only at the Early Stage of Qi Sea, and his weapon is merely of Profound Treasure level."

"The stroke, although containing True Intent, is clearly not deeply comprehended, far less powerful than when Hei Qing wields it."

"Hei Qing just swallowed the elixir, his strength has not yet recovered, Senior Brother, this is a golden opportunity, we can’t wait any longer!"

Shang Yi looked disdainful, gripping his weapon, intent on seizing the opportunity to attack.

Yann Luo stared intently at the two battling in the front, his voice deep: "No hurry, let them fight it out first."

Rather than getting involved now, it would be better to wait until both sides were severely injured, then he could ascertain the true strength of the suddenly appearing young man in black.

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The black-clad man’s bold appearance at this time surely meant he had some reliance.

"Senior Brother..." Yet Shang Yi couldn’t hold back.

"Junior Brother, the death of Junior Sister Lux Ning was due to your recklessness!" Yann Luo suddenly glared icily at Shang Yi.

Shang Yi felt a chill down his spine, not daring to speak further.

On the battlefield.

Chu Ming maintained his strength at the Early Stage of Qi Sea, using a Second-class Profound Treasure to battle Hei Qing with the Silent Extinction True Intent he had comprehended.

Not enough... not enough...

With each clash of the saber and stick, his comprehension of the Silent Extinction True Intent deepened.

Initially, Hei Qing could suppress Chu Ming with his Vine Stick.

But gradually, a look of suspicion and alarm intensified on Hei Qing’s face.

After a dozen exchanges, he was shocked to realize that the sudden appearance of the man in black was making the saber’s power grow stronger.

The saber’s power was not inexplicably increasing; Hei Qing could feel it was due to the deepening comprehension of the Silent Extinction True Intent by the young man in black!

’This person is using me as a whetstone to sharpen his understanding of the Silent Extinction True Intent!’

A surge of shock rolled in Hei Qing’s heart.

He himself could comprehend the Silent Extinction True Intent because of the Black Pupil, yet it still took him half a year to reach near Great Success.

But the person before him, after only dozens of engagements, was rapidly approaching his level of True Intent power.

How could this be?

Incredulity was hard to contain, and the surge of pride and competitiveness in his heart was reignited.

If you use me as a whetstone, then I shall use you as one too!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Vine Stick was swung with greater ferocity.

Bring it on!

Chu Ming’s eyes flashed, gripping the Second-class Xuanbao Battle Saber to meet the challenge.

Just like that, the two continued to engage fiercely at the Early Stage of Qi Sea.

From the sky to the earth, and from the earth to the clouds.

The two National Guardian experts of the Jingyue Kingdom followed closely behind, like jackals eyeing their prey, waiting for the prey to let down its guard.

As the sun and moon turned, night cloaked the sky with stars.

Chu Ming swung his last blade, Hei Qing smashed his last stick.

Clang!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor deafening roar.

Their final moves seemed like they had reached the limits of their strength, the collision merely stirring slight clouds.

Chu Ming looked at Hei Qing, his face smiling.

Hei Qing’s face was taut, silent, but his eyes were smiling.

Both had already comprehended the Silent Extinction True Intent to Great Success!
