Facing Jian Chen, who had suddenly blocked his path, the Sword Saint naturally regarded him as nothing more than a junior.
In terms of absolute strength, the two were not on the same level. A Sword Saint who used Sword Twenty-Three could instantly kill even ordinary elite Intruders. Under normal circumstances, he was also at the level of a seasoned supreme expert, no less formidable than Xiong Ba in his current state.

After his battle with Xiong Ba, regardless of victory or defeat, he likely would not survive. Since that was the case, he might as well fulfill this junior's wish.
With just one glance, he saw the sharpness and vitality in Jian Chen. He truly was born to wield a sword.

"I yield!"
