Cui Haoyu's face also changed drastically, almost instinctively wanting to rescue. After all, a young disciple with Master Level cultivation was an essential successor within the Cui Family. Since Qin Fang nearly crippled Cui Mingjun, it would be hard for him, as Family Head, to explain if another incident occurred.

However, before he could act, Fu Qinglin held him back and quietly shook his head, whispering, "Everything should be for the sake of the greater good!"

Upon hearing Fu Qinglin's words, Cui Haoyu paused his actions, deciding against intervening. Obviously, they both deemed their greater mission far more important than a talented successor.

Swish, swish, swish~~

With sword Qi sweeping across the sky, the Cui Family disciple's face turned pale, lacking any hint of blood as he conceded to fate, awaiting death.

For he clearly felt that against such immense sword Qi offensives, he couldn't muster even a trace of resistance...

It wasn't surprising; this Cui Family disciple was merely at the Master Level Early Stage, significantly inferior to Qin Fang's Master Level Peak strength.

And now, this sudden burst of sword Qi was clearly Qin Fang's epiphany, though not fully unleashed, was easily enough to deal with a minor Master Level Early Stage.

After a series of piercing noises, the crowd was astonished to find the Cui Family disciple alive, although his clothes had been sliced to ribbons by the sword Qi.

Once everything settled, the Cui Family disciple, almost in a state of collapse, sat down heavily, relieved to be an expert at the Master Level, with decent mental resilience, preventing a complete breakdown and avoiding the disgrace of losing control physically.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the outcome, thankful no lives were lost; otherwise, it would have been challenging to manage.

The pervasive sword Qi vanished, but Qin Fang remained unchanged, seemingly uninvolved with what just occurred, still immersed in his epiphany.

The remaining disciples from Cui and Fu families distanced themselves from Qin Fang, while the unfortunate one watched the still-enlightened Qin Fang with a face turned pallid violet.

The sharp sword Qi had assaulted his body, and that sensation of blades upon him was something he would remember for life. He understood clearly enough that any attempt at resistance would have meant being shredded by the sword Qi...

"Looks like his talent is even greater than we anticipated..."

When all was over, Cui Haoyu breathed a sigh of relief, while Fu Qinglin's gaze turned somewhat sinister, his complexion a bit unhappy as he commented.

"Humph, the greater his talent, the better for us... Do you think our combined forces couldn't handle a mere Master Level opponent like him?"

Cui Haoyu's expression wasn't great either, yet he didn't seem to hold Qin Fang in high regard either, as both believed that two Great Grandmaster Level experts joining might make escape impossible for any expert at near Master Level.

"Just hope nothing unexpected happens..."

Fu Qinglin subtly shook his head, despite sharing Cui Haoyu's view, he felt a strange unease inside.

And as they conversed, Qin Fang awoke from his epiphany, observing the surrounding group with a peculiarly amused expression.

"Congratulations Young Master Qin, your achievements are remarkable even before entering the Chess Sword Formation Remnant!"

Fu Qinglin and Cui Haoyu promptly moved forward to congratulate, while the "beggar outfit" was tragically ignored, leaving the poor child bitterly mouthing unspeakable woes, ultimately squatting aside in shame and frustration...

"Senior Cui, you've overpraised me, it's mere luck..."

Qin Fang calmly replied. Being able to attain enlightenment from the sword intent here was indeed unexpected to him, but at least it brought considerable gains.

Qin Fang even considered that the benefits from this single epiphany made staying worth it, even exceedingly so.

This Sword Forest, true to its reputation as Fu Cailin's training place, had inscribed everywhere the sword intent of this top Sword Dao expert, far more stunning than the Yi Sword Stone Qin Fang held.

If the Yi Sword Stone might help a martial artist reach a higher level, like the Grandmaster Level, then understanding these two characters' sword intent made stepping into the Grandmaster Level hardly challenging.

Of course, lacking difficulty didn't imply Qin Fang could take that step now; substantial accumulation was necessary to breach that barrier.

Breakthrough was only a matter of time, which Qin Fang knew, now affirmed even more clearly...

Therefore, in comparison to the sword intent's gains, Qin Fang felt exhilarated from having inadvertently grasped a sword Qi during his epiphany!

Yes, a sword Qi! A mysterious and profound sword Qi...

If there hadn't been so many people, Qin Fang thought he would have liked to test this sword Qi's power immediately!
