Of course, he also understood that this was one of the effects of Sword Intent.
Sword Intent refers to the intrinsic will of the sword. Once mastered, an attack infused with Sword Intent carries its essence, forming something akin to a domain. Consequently, his attacks are imbued with the nuance of Sword Intent, influencing and slightly diminishing the power of his opponent's attacks.
Despite Lin Chen's current cultivation level, Sword Intent doesn't affect Qian Jin significantly, but it still has some impact, which annoys Qian Jin greatly.
Moreover, as the battle progressed, while Qian Jin's Sword Qi attacks initially posed a considerable threat to Lin Chen, Lin Chen seemed to become adept at handling them over time. He could completely parry Qian Jin's attacks and occasionally counterattack, as if he were learning his techniques during combat to improve himself, which disturbed Qian Jin.
