Chapter 319 Let's get drunk and talk about romance
Under this force, the drop of blood that was originally dripping from Xie Xiaofeng's fingertip was stopped by an invisible barrier when it was still three inches away from the chessboard, and slid down the barrier to the ground.
Seeing that the chessboard was not stained with Xie Xiaofeng's blood, Lianxing finally felt relieved.
Perhaps because of Lianxing's little gesture, Xie Xiaofeng, who had been lost in thought, subtly withdrew his hand after regaining his senses.
However, when Xie Xiaofeng slightly raised his gaze to Chu Qinghe opposite him, a complicated expression inevitably arose in his heart.
After a long silence, Xie Xiaofeng finally spoke, "I didn't expect that you, young friend, have already reached the point of being able to control and use the 'Fifteen Deadly Swords' at will."
Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "With time, one's understanding will naturally deepen."
What was meant as a casual remark prompted Xie Xiaofeng to exclaim, "Indeed! If Yan Shisan hadn't met with misfortune back then, he would probably have mastered the 'Fifteen Deadly Swords' to this extent by now."
During their exchange, to avoid damaging the harmony, Chu Qinghe took the lead, and the true energy they used was only equivalent to the level of a Grandmaster at the peak.
However, when Xie Xiaofeng faced Chu Qinghe's sword energy unleashed by the "Fifteen Deadly Swords" at the same cultivation level, he was outmatched and failed to break through the sword energy. In addition, the chess piece between his fingers was destroyed, and his finger was also cut.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent.
Looking back on his decades of painstaking research in the back sword hut of the Divine Sword Manor, Xie Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh.
"The Fifteen Deadly Swords without the sword intent of annihilation are merely empty shells. Even if my sword intent is added, it is not the true Fifteen Deadly Swords. Years of research have ultimately been in vain."
After saying that, Xie Xiaofeng looked at Chu Qinghe and changed the subject, saying, "To be able to master the Fifteen Deadly Swords at such a young age is truly astonishing."
In response to Xie Xiaofeng's words, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Senior, you flatter me."
Then, Chu Qinghe took the initiative to say, "If you feel it's not enough, senior, we can continue with another game."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "Too much of a good thing is bad. Although it was only one game, it was enough to make this old man have many feelings."
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Then I wish you success in resolving your inner conflict."
Xie Xiaofeng nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
But after a pause, Xie Xiaofeng suddenly raised his hand.
As soon as a chess piece was placed between two fingers, a surge of sword intent suddenly burst forth from Xie Xiaofeng's body.
But after the sword intent appeared, it disappeared again in an instant.
However, the black chess piece between Xie Xiaofeng's fingers was even blacker and shinier, with an additional layer of mist enveloping its surface.
After placing the chess piece on the chessboard, Xie Xiaofeng said, "I comprehended my sword intent in the mortal world when I was young. Today, I am grateful to you, young friend, for generously fulfilling my long-cherished wish. I have nothing to repay you with, so I present you with this sword intent. With your talent, young friend, you may have the opportunity to comprehend this sword intent."
After glancing at the chess pieces on the board, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "You're too kind, senior."
Xie Xiaofeng nodded and said, "The matter is settled, and I will not disturb you any longer during your afternoon rest."
Chu Qinghe slowly stood up and said, "Take care, senior."
"Farewell!"
After nodding to Chu Qinghe, Shuimu Yinji, and Lianxing and the other women, Xie Xiaofeng slowly stood up and took a step forward.
The seemingly frail movement caused Xie Xiaofeng to suddenly rise into the air.
After taking another step, they were already ten zhang away in the air.
After Xie Xiaofeng's figure disappeared from sight, Qu Feiyan and the other girls sat down together.
Lianxing's gaze fell on the chess piece left behind by Xie Xiaofeng on the chessboard, and she said, "I didn't expect that Xie Xiaofeng's martial arts skills have reached such a level that he can seal his sword intent into an object like a chess piece, just like my brother-in-law."
At this moment, Jellyfish Yin Ji spoke up: "It's different."
As soon as she spoke, amidst the confusion of Lianxing and the other girls, Shuimu Yinji slowly said, "If one simply seals one's own sword intent into a chess piece, even I can do it, but the sword intent can only exist for a maximum of twenty-four hours."
"Moreover, the sword intent sealed within those wooden carvings in Qinghe even contains some insights into the way of the sword. The method of cultivating sword intent seeds can enable people to successfully nurture sword intent and make it their own."
"And this chess piece is simply infused with Xie Xiaofeng's own sword intent."
"Even those who are proficient in swordsmanship can only sense these sword intents. It is extremely difficult to comprehend these sword intents. It is like a master calligrapher and an ordinary person. They may both draw a horizontal line, but the effect is completely different."
After learning about the differences from the Water Mother Yin Ji, the women immediately lost interest in the chess pieces that contained Xie Xiaofeng's sword intent.
Qu Feiyan curled her lips and said, "I thought Xie Xiaofeng was quite generous, actually offering his own sword intent as a thank-you gift, but it turns out this gratitude is just a formality."
Hearing what Qu Feiyan said, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."
As soon as he spoke, the women's eyes immediately turned to Chu Qinghe.
Meeting the gazes of the women, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "For ordinary people, it is indeed difficult to feel and comprehend the Sorrowful Sword Intent contained in this chess piece, but for me, it is not difficult."
