#199 - Win twice

"Peace is the most precious thing?"

"Tang Chuan, don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say that?"

Qiao Zhi sneered, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain as he looked at Tang Chuan.

"To be honest, I've long been disgusted with you, this hypocrite. On the surface, you act all righteous and moral, but behind the scenes, you're always doing things that can't be seen in the light of day."

"You disgust me!"

"Eat my fist!"

Qiao Zhi stepped forward, like a golden lightning bolt streaking across the area, and punched towards Tang Chuan, the astonishing fist force shaking all directions!

"You—"

Tang Chuan was both shocked and angry. He immediately retreated, while simultaneously activating his treasure bottle to bombard Qiao Zhi, using it to block Qiao Zhi's attack.

Rumble—

The two instantly erupted into a fierce battle.

Facing Qiao Zhi, whose cultivation was far superior to his own, Tang Chuan was forced into a steady retreat, even with a sacred artifact in hand, appearing quite disheveled.

"You just wait!"

"When my cultivation improves in the future, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Tang Chuan secretly harbored resentment. He glared at Qiao Zhi hatefully, then immediately turned and ran, leaving the Azure Wave Stele Forest.

Yuan Hongfei, who was already seriously injured, also dragged his body away from the area, swallowing several healing pills and seizing the time to absorb the medicinal power to repair his injuries.

On the other side.

Chu Fan gave it his all, but he was still no match for Su Chen, being repelled by Su Chen again and again.

However, he wielded a defensive sacred artifact, making him quite tenacious. He launched attacks on Su Chen time and time again, as if possessed.

It wasn't until Qiao Zhi appeared and sent him flying with a single punch, sending him out of the Azure Wave Stele Forest.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qiao, for your assistance."

Su Chen gently exhaled a breath of stale air, a smile appearing on his face.

"Don't mention it, we're brothers."

Qiao Zhi waved his hand, as if not fully satisfied, and flexed his fists.

Then, his gaze landed on Su Chen, filled with amazement and admiration.

"Junior Brother Su is truly beyond my expectations. With a cultivation at the third level of the Venerable Realm, you're actually this powerful. Your true strength is already no weaker than a master at the ninth level of the Venerable Realm."

"Junior Brother Su, how about we spar after we leave Azure Profound Mountain?"

Qiao Zhi was eager to test his skills, his fighting spirit high, his hands itching, and he couldn't wait to have a great battle with Su Chen.

"No."

Su Chen shook his head, refusing without even thinking.

Qiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Don't be like that. I know you have the Thunder Battle Body. I'll also suppress my cultivation. We'll have a fair fight at the same realm. You might not lose..."

"I'm not worried about the issue of winning or losing."

Su Chen said frankly, "It's just that I'm naturally introverted and dislike fighting. Please forgive me, Senior Brother Qiao."

Naturally introverted?

Dislike fighting???

The expression on Qiao Zhi's face froze, and he felt a row of black lines appearing on his forehead.

I believe you my ass!!

Back then, during the Demon Sealing Trial, who was it that slaughtered everyone, defeating many talented disciples in a row, going completely mad?

And now you're pretending to be introverted?

Qiao Zhi rubbed his hands together, an idea forming in his mind, and said, "How about this, Junior Brother Su? I won't let you fight for nothing. As long as you're willing to spar with me, I'll give you a seventh-grade superior-quality magical treasure, how's that?"

"Thank you for Senior Brother Qiao's kindness, but I won't fight."

Su Chen still firmly shook his head.

Qiao Zhi said, "You don't want a magical treasure? We can exchange it for other seventh-grade treasures, or I can owe you a favor... Hey, don't go..."

Su Chen silently turned around, unmoved.

"..."

Seeing this, Qiao Zhi could only give up, secretly feeling regret in his heart.

Time passed little by little.

The number of sword-shaped runes around Qing Ling and Luo Qianqian increased, and a powerful sword intent began to permeate the two women's bodies, causing the heavens and earth to resonate!

This process lasted for a full two and a half hours.

The sword intent on Qing Ling and Luo Qianqian's bodies became increasingly turbulent and astonishing, as if the two women had transformed into peerless divine swords, incomparably sharp!

Even Su Chen and Qiao Zhi, who were guarding them, felt a considerable sense of pressure.

"This is the Sword Emperor's inheritance... If only I could obtain the Martial Emperor's inheritance..."

Qiao Zhi was quite envious.

He was even thinking about whether he could also practice the sword path.

I wonder if it's too late to start practicing the sword now...

As the aura on Qing Ling and Luo Qianqian's bodies gradually converged, the broken stone tablet also dimmed, the runes engraved on it losing most of their luster, flickering uncertainly.

Even the sword intent on the stone tablet weakened a lot.

Clearly, the reason why Qing Ling and Luo Qianqian were able to comprehend the sword intent within such a short period of time and initially grasp the sword intent was because the stone tablet contained the power of inheritance.

The two women had already absorbed most of the power of inheritance.

Those who came later would need to slowly comprehend it themselves if they wanted to grasp the sword intent within.

This process would be very difficult and would take a lot of time. It would definitely not be as easy and fast as it was for Qing Ling and Luo Qianqian.

[Ding, the host has intercepted the Sword Emperor's inheritance in advance, the plot has changed, and the Son of Destiny, Chu Fan, has suffered a loss of luck, gaining 200,000 Luck Value.]

[Total Luck Value: 669800]

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Su Chen's mind, and another large wave of Luck Value entered his account.

Su Chen was in a great mood, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

This is a win-win situation!

Su Chen wins twice!

Qing Ling and Luo Qianqian opened their eyes, both with undisguised surprise and excitement!

They not only gained a Sword Emperor inheritance technique, but also grasped a supreme sword intent!

"Thank you, Young Master (Junior Brother Su)!"

Qing Ling and Luo Qianqian both looked at Su Chen with gentle eyes, filled with gratitude and other emotions.

"Now that you have obtained the Sword Emperor's inheritance, my mission is also complete."

Qiao Zhi said with a smile, "You can always call me if you need anything in the future. I'm best at fighting."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qiao, for your assistance."

Qing Ling and Luo Qianqian also hurriedly bowed to Qiao Zhi to thank him, feeling quite grateful to him.

If it weren't for Qiao Zhi blocking Yuan Hongfei, Su Chen would have had a hard time fighting three people at the same time.

"Small matter, small matter."

Qiao Zhi waved his hand and quickly turned to leave.

Su Chen, Qing Ling, and Luo Qianqian also did not continue to stay in the Azure Wave Stele Forest.

After they left.

Chu Fan, Tang Chuan, and Yuan Hongfei appeared from three different directions, their eyes all locked on the broken stone tablet.

Then, the three men's eyes collided, and they could all see the icy killing intent in each other's eyes!
