As for how he comprehended the Slaughter Sword Intent, Qin Fang himself found it quite mysterious.

"Could it really be related to that Blood Drinking Sword?"

It seemed that after thinking it over, this was the only reasonable explanation.

Qin Fang's Sword Intent was realized through the combination of the Seven-Star Sword Grass and the Blood Drinking Sword... If it was just the Seven-Star Sword Grass, the comprehension would definitely be a general Non-Attributive Sword Intent; thus, the origin of this Slaughter Sword Intent mostly lay with the Blood Drinking Sword.

Subsequently, Qin Fang remembered the reaction of the Xu family members after he touched the Blood Drinking Sword... It seemed that everything became transparent.

"This sword is definitely not simple..."

When Qin Fang initially discovered the Blood Drinking Sword, he already suspected its complexity. However, now with more discoveries, he felt that the sword might be hiding considerable secrets... At least, a sword that could help someone comprehend the Slaughter Sword Intent is extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Qin Fang took out the Blood Drinking Sword and began to study it while in Xu Jiao's bedroom. Besides Xu Jiao, no one else was allowed to enter without permission, not even Xu Zizhen...

Naturally, Qin Fang wasn't afraid of the Xu family finding out that he took out the Blood Drinking Sword here... Reflecting on it, Qin Fang surmised that the Xu family probably knew he took the Blood Drinking Sword but lacked sufficient evidence.

After all, to unleash the most formidable power, Attribute Sword Intent must be used in conjunction with an exclusive treasured sword... Qin Fang had the Slaughter Sword Intent within him but only used the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword instead of the more appropriate Blood Drinking Sword.

"This red substance... why does it look so much like blood?"

The lighting in the room was much clearer than inside the Sword Tomb, and Qin Fang could see much more clearly. He immediately noticed that the red on the Blood Drinking Sword was not the original material of the sword, but seemed to be something else attached.

Upon closer inspection, it was found... these red substances were actually flowing, albeit at a very slow pace.

"Hiss~~~"

Discovering this, even with Qin Fang's cultivation level, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his back. He murmured as if he had thought of something, "Blood drink, drinking blood... Could it be... that this really is blood?"

From the moment he discovered this sword, Qin Fang felt it was incredibly special. Although it was somewhat restrained, it still exuded an icy aura of slaughter. Ordinary people would find it difficult to wield such a sword. Even when Qin Fang used it to comprehend the Sword Intent, he almost suffered a great loss!

"Slaughter! Slaughter... How much slaughter does this sword bear to have such power?"

Qin Fang vaguely understood the worry of the Xu family members.

This sword surely embodied the aura of slaughter; the unjust deaths beneath it must have reached a terrifying number, granting it boundless murderous energy... This murderous energy could be harnessed by people and absorbed into their bodies.

If one could withstand the invasion of the Slaughter Sword Intent, there was a great possibility of comprehending this Slaughter Sword Intent. However... there was an even greater possibility of one's mind being eroded by this terrifying Slaughter Sword Intent, turning into a madman!

The Xu family members were so afraid of this sword that they mobilized the entire family's power to find the person, certainly because they suffered significant losses due to this sword, possibly more than just one or two.

"Fortunately, fortunately..."

Now understanding this, Qin Fang felt somewhat relieved.

He obtained the Blood Drinking Sword and comprehended the Slaughter Sword Intent... However, he also had a Seven-Star Sword Grass that, to some extent, restrained the invasion of the Slaughter Sword Intent, ultimately forming a balance.

Thus, Qin Fang managed to comprehend the Slaughter Sword Intent without being controlled by it... Moreover, he could wield the Slaughter Sword Intent without necessarily using the Blood Drinking Sword, which definitely was a blessing in disguise.

...

Compared to Qin Fang's relaxation and comfort, the Xu family was quite excited and joyful, whereas the situation was different for another family.

The Tian Nan Lu family, the most powerful martial family in Southeast Asia.

Bang~~ Bang~~ Bang~~~

A series of shattering sounds echoed, the floor covered in shards of porcelain. Upon a closer look, one could discover fragments of some almost lost rare porcelain...

Had they been intact, their value would have been immeasurable. Unfortunately, they were now all shattered pieces, reducing their value by hundreds or even thousands of times!

"Feng'er, my Feng'er... Who? Who killed you!"

An old, sorrowful voice emanated from the room, the sobbing so mournful, yet also suppressed with a terrifying murderous intent, "I will catch the murderer and slash them piece by piece before your spirit!"

"And that woman... Didn't you like her? Since you couldn't have her in life, then I'll let her join you in death!!!"

Each voice came out from the room, every word sending chills down one's spine, showing how angry and desperate the speaker was.

And he was none other than the most powerful person in the Lu Family... Lu Jianhong, the Family Head of Lu Family, a formidable expert reaching half-step Grandmaster Level.

At this moment, Lu Jianhong was incredibly terrifying, his aura reaching the peak of horror, silencing everyone in the room, none daring to make a sound... fearing that at such a moment, they might incur Lu Jianhong's wrath and face death.

These people were all core members of the Lu Family, naturally well-versed in the family members' ways... forget about blood ties or shared interests, everyone knew that Lu Jianhong was the true authority in the Lu Family, controlling the life and death of every family member!

At this moment, a person was kneeling on the ground, surrounded by many shattered porcelain pieces, even his head was covered with them… all thrown by an enraged Lu Jianhong.

Yet, the person obediently knelt there, with blood flowing down his head, not daring to wipe it off...

"Speak, who did it?"

Lu Jianhong's rage exploded for a while before slightly calming down, then he looked at the person kneeling on the ground and asked, with a deep sense of killing intent and anger evident in his seemingly calm voice.

"Reporting to Family Head, it was done by a young man named Qin Fang…"

Upon hearing Lu Jianhong's question, the person honestly replied, explaining every detail he knew... although he didn't know the full story, he managed to gather some information.

"Qin Fang, Mainland of the Dragon Country…"

After listening to the person's account, Lu Jianhong frowned as if pondering something, creating an eerie atmosphere in the room for a while."Could it be that they... discovered something?"

Evidently, Lu Jianhong was hiding some secrets, secrets that couldn't be discovered by those Great Sects in Mainland of the Dragon Country… indicating that the hidden secrets were shady, even though the Lu Family was far away in Southeast Asia.

"No, this matter absolutely cannot be let go like this... Lu Qi!"

Lu Jianhong was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with deep determination, then he called out lightly to the surrounding people.

"Present!"

Upon hearing Lu Jianhong call out a name, the person immediately stood up respectfully in response.

This was another expert who reached Grandmaster Level, his cultivation restrained considerably, but equally terrifying... yet, before Lu Jianhong, he was like a quail, trembling, which didn't match his strength.

"Go for me, no matter what methods… kill this Qin Fang! Tear him into pieces!"

Lu Jianhong deeply looked at Lu Qi, then ordered with gritted teeth.

"Understood…"

Upon hearing Lu Jianhong's command, Lu Qi immediately showed firm determination.

Understanding Lu Jianhong's character, only such an answer would satisfy him… simultaneously, he would earnestly and diligently undertake this task.

"Dismiss~~~"

By saying this, Lu Jianhong seemed to lose interest in continuing, merely waving his hand to dismiss everyone, while he himself… took out a picture of Lu Tianfeng, quietly caressing it.

This was his most talented, most gifted, most likely heir to everything… but now, forever separated!

"Left Protector, doing so might expose our identity!"

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, speaking in a highly unfriendly tone… although using respectful addresses, his words lacked even a hint of respect, sounding more like a superior reprimanding a subordinate.

"Shut up!"

Yet, Lu Jianhong angrily scolded.

"My son died… my most outstanding son, and he just died like that!"

Then, Lu Jianhong became even more sorrowful, aging suddenly, appearing somewhat mad, his speech becoming vague, muttering.

"Everything I worked for was for this son… but now he's dead, what is there left for me to care about? To hell with grand ambitions, to hell with dominating the Martial World… I don't care! I just want revenge for my son!"

The figure helplessly watched Lu Jianhong, finally could only gently shake his head, yet still spoke firmly,

"I will not stop you from avenging your son… but if this exposes us, I don't mind uprooting your entire Lu Family! You know, we have that strength…"

Unfortunately, Lu Jianhong seemed lost in the grief of losing his son, completely ignoring the figure's words, merely wiping tears alone, while the shadow slowly receded into the darkness, as if it never appeared.
