111: Chapter 108: Courage (3rd Update) 111: Chapter 108: Courage (3rd Update) Chu Xisheng, upon spotting Si Huangquan advancing, had already braced himself for caution.
The formidable Iron Shura, once he got close enough to strike, might not even give him the chance to exchange for a Character Card.
Despite his vigilance, he failed to anticipate his own actions.
Just as the two arrived at the entrance of the valley, Chu Xisheng’s Primordial Spirit Thought suddenly erupted like a torrent of magma, instantly condensing into a powerful Sword Intent, and slammed towards Si Huangquan.
Chu Xisheng’s pupils constricted instantly, aware of the impending danger.
The Vengeance temperament was fierce and bloodthirsty, skilled in exterminating all evil spirits!
There was undoubtedly some malevolent entity within Si Huangquan that had triggered his Sword Intent!
Si Huangquan reacted in an instant, his dark, gloomy eyes flickering with a sharp light, as he retaliated with Sword Intent of his own.
Who was this nobody daring to strike at him?
The Divine Thoughts of both clashed violently at the valley entrance, causing dust and smoke to billow within a half-yard radius.
Si Huangquan’s hands rested on the Butterfly Knife at his waist, initially intending to draw his blade and decapitate the man opposite him.
However, the fierce, fierce Divine Intent from the other side made him tilt his head back, stepping backwards three times in succession, increasing the distance between them.
When Si Huangquan finally steadied himself, a trickle of blood had already seeped out of his nose.
Chu Xisheng also suffered, retreating two steps, his mind in agony as though it were being sliced by a knife.
Nevertheless, in this exchange of Sword Intents, he had ultimately prevailed.
Yet Chu Xisheng felt no joy whatsoever.
Si Huangquan had already drawn the Butterfly Double Knife from seven steps away, his eyes wary yet brimming with murderous intent as he stared at him.
At that moment, the entire valley was thundering loudly, everyone watching the scene in astonishment.
Zhou Xiangshan stood dumbfounded but soon marveled secretly.
He had just warned Chu Xisheng to be careful of Si Huangquan, yet he found the perfect opportunity to unleash a Sword Intent directly at him.
Was he intending to suppress Si Huangquan’s influence in front of all these spectators?
Indeed, he is the unrivaled young hero of Dongzhou, suppressing all the Qingyun’s geniuses of this area!
He is indeed so arrogantly fierce—
While everyone was wary of Si Huangquan’s Twin Blades and the “Lawless” behind him, Chu Xisheng seemed not to concern himself with this man at all.
Zhou Liangchen, after his initial astonishment, was utterly impressed.
He believed that his defeat at Chu Xisheng’s hand was indeed justified.
Not only was Chu Xisheng superior in Sword Tao, but even his courage and spirit were far greater than his.
If he were Chu Xisheng, he would avoid Si Huangquan at all costs, dodging his sharp edge.
Only after entering the secret realm would he confront Si Huangquan.
How could he dare to contend with Si Huangquan under the watchful eyes of Si Wufa?
Meanwhile, at a distance, Three-fingered Divine Zhou Xiongba slightly startled, then solemnly gathered all his Essence.
He was not sure if he could protect Chu Xisheng, but he must make an effort to do so.
Chu Xisheng’s action to suppress Si Huangquan’s influence was undoubtedly a sign of his trust.
He could not fail him!
Si Wufa was indeed strong, ranking high on the ‘Earthly List.’
But this place was, after all, Linhai County, where Zhou Xiongba felt somewhat confident on his own turf.
In the eyes of Zhou Xia of Watercloud Palace, a gleam of brightness appeared: “This boy is quite intriguing.”
The act of Si Huangquan killing a member of Watercloud Palace had brought her to the peak of embarrassment and rage.
Thus, seeing Chu Xisheng’s fierce move instantly increased her favor towards him.
Zhou Xia’s hand rested on her sword, her eyes coldly watching the sky.
Corpse Mountain Sect elder Shi Jiuming clicked his tongue in amazement.
His voice was hoarse, sounding like a broken pot: “This youth’s spirit and Sword Intent cultivation are truly eye-opening.
To have achieved such a level in the Ninth Grade realm is terrifying.
Moreover, his courage is remarkable!”
At that moment, his pale, zombie-like arms’ muscles bulged, his body’s Qi Gang swirling about like a great serpent: “This burst of Sword Intent is truly masterful!
Otherwise, this master and nephew duo from ‘Lawless’ would really think Dongzhou was devoid of capable people.”
However, Si Wufa hidden in the clouds remained still, seemingly not intending to intervene.
As these people discussed fervently, the East State Debating Martial Arts Tower Master also grew more interested.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze admiringly scrutinizing Chu Xisheng.
That was the Vengeance Blade—a Sword Intent lineage derived from the Chasing Wind Saber of the Formless Divine Sect.
Ninth Grade realm, Fourth Level Sword Intent, truly impressive.
Especially under the malice of thousands here, his Sword Intent was invincible among his peers.
What surprised the Martial Arts Tower Master of East State was that this young man only had two Secret Technique Totems and three Magic Artifacts, two of which were only Eighth Rank.
The talent of this youth was terrifyingly strong.
However, the Martial Arts Tower Master of East State also felt a tinge of doubt rising within him.
The problem was the look in this youngster’s eyes, why did they seem so bitter and helpless?
Wasn’t he the first to provoke and cause trouble?
At that moment, Chu Xisheng, under Si Huangquan’s murderous gaze, felt his whole body chill as his hair stood on end.
He pressed his hand on his saber and without hesitation opened the Martial Arts Treasure Vault, exchanging ten Martial Arts Points for “Qin Muge’s 11-year-old character card.”
Si Huangquan’s sword speed was extremely fast, able to take his life with one strike within three steps, thus Chu Xisheng had to exchange it early as a precaution.
In fact, this Qin Muge character card held a great risk, not to mention his sudden increase to Eighth Rank cultivation, just the Martial Arts, extremely similar to Qin Muge’s childhood, could also raise suspicions.
However, at the moment, Chu Xisheng could only rely on this card to solve the issue.
Although there would be many troubles afterward, it was still better than losing his life.
As for the experience version of Qin Muge’s 10-year-old character card, Chu Xisheng still wanted to keep it for use within the Secret Realm.
On the other side, Si Huangquan’s body was low, crouching, his whole being resembling a leopard cat ready to pounce.
However, just before he made his move, Si Huangquan’s hand holding the knife tightened slightly.
He possessed the Innate Divine Ability ‘Supreme Divine Communication’, not only could it communicate with ghostly spirits, but it could also sense any danger threatening his life in advance.
At this moment, he felt an extreme danger emanating from Chu Xisheng.
Si Huangquan stared at Chu Xisheng firmly, as if to deeply engrave him in his memory.
Then he decisively sheathed his Butterfly Double Knives and entered the Secret Realm without a word.
This person was indeed very strong, beyond his ability to contend against.
However, Si Huangquan practiced the Asura Martial Way, expert in the art of assassination, there was no need for a frontal confrontation.
Once inside the Secret Realm, he would have plenty of ways to deal with the situation.
He would keep a close watch on this person, waiting for a chance to deliver a fatal blow.
And just as Si Huangquan voluntarily retreated and entered the Ninth Grade Secret Realm, the entire valley outside was stirred.
The thousand-plus martial cultivators outside were all moved.
Impressive, could a single manifestation of Sword Intent force back the Heavenly Pride of Capital City?”
“I thought the two of them would definitely fight.
Isn’t this Si Huangquan very aggressive?
The people from Shuiyun Palace say he strikes to kill, even Zhuo Baiyun is no match for him.”
“This person is Chu Xisheng, right?
The one who drove back Lu Chen at the inn yesterday.
I can’t understand, how strong is this guy?”
“This is a formidable enemy; our family might not be able to compete with him, but this person did indeed vent anger on behalf of our East State Martial World.”
Chu Xisheng saw Si Huangquan leaving, his mind also relaxed, and he secretly sighed in relief.
He helplessly felt that he had once again wasted ten Martial Arts Points.
Fortunately, at this moment, Chu Xisheng’s eyes exploded with fireworks.
This time, not only did he save himself, but he also made a huge profit—
Chu Xisheng glanced at his illusory screen and then also stepped towards the valley’s entrance.
The Ninth Grade Secret Realm appeared enshrouded in mist from the outside, making it difficult to thoroughly see its scenery.
But as Chu Xisheng entered, he found himself in a bright, sunny, and open area.
However, at that instant, Chu Xisheng frowned deeply.
The character card he had exchanged earlier, which was supposed to last for two minutes, lost its effect the moment he entered the Secret Realm.
Chu Xisheng looked at his Martial Arts Treasure Vault again, only to find that the “Qin Muge’s 11-year-old character card (Formal Edition)” had turned grey.
When Chu Xisheng focused on this card, a message feedback into his mind.
—Due to territorial restrictions, this card cannot be exchanged temporarily.
Chu Xisheng felt an immense headache, this was exactly the worst scenario he had anticipated.
