The Brilliant Fighting Master

Fortunately, everything was fine. In spite of her weakness, she got to her feet. Walking out of the stone chamber, she found Jiang Chen standing there, holding her sword. She became downcast immediately. Not until then did she recall that she had been defeated by him.

“What body do you have? It’s even more unusual than a sacred body!” She could not help but ask.

“Where did you get the sword?” Turning around, Jiang Chen repeated the question he had asked before.

Li Yujian tumbled to the reason that she was still alive. “It’s mine!” Li Yujian said confidently.

“In that case, you don’t have what I want.” As Jiang Chen spoke, a cold killing intent gushed out.

“Do you want me to lie to you? It’s my master who gave me the sword!” However, Li Yujian was not scared at all. She thought Jiang Chen was teasing her.

“Your master?” Struck dumb, Jiang Chen asked again, “Where did your master get it?”

Li Yujian became impatient. She did not bother to answer him. However, she suddenly came up with an assumption. She recalled something. “You want the information about a woman, don’t you?” Li Yujian asked tentatively. She confirmed her assumption from Jiang Chen’s reaction.

“More than a year ago, a woman wormed her way into the All Saints Religious Sect and stole an important holy method from us. We made a great effort to catch her. This sword was hers. My master made some changes to it since it is made of a special material.” She told him what she knew without thinking too much about it.

“Is she still alive?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Pardon?” Li Yujian did not understand his question immediately.

“I said, is she still alive?” Jiang Chen was pulling a long face. His look was extremely horrifying.

Li Yujian realized immediately that that person was very important to him.

“Yes. She is alive,” she said simply.

“Really?” Grasping her wrist, Jiang Chen stared into her eyes.

“Hey!” Li Yujian was used to living high on the hog. She had never been treated this way. She was about to lose her temper, but when her eyes met Jiang Chen’s, she suddenly had a premonition that she shouldn’t fool around with him. Swallowing saliva, she nodded. “I told you she had been caught. Now she is imprisoned in the cells of our religious sect.”

Not until then did Jiang Chen ease up. He suddenly sized Li Yujian up. He said, “You are important to the All Saints Religious Sect, aren’t you?”

Li Yujian did not answer him directly. She said, “You won’t succeed. Even if you use me as your hostage and exchange me for her, you won’t be able to leave the Seventh Realm. And you won’t be able to leave the forbidden land either.” The forbidden land was huge, but Li Yujian was sure all their forces would be able to chase him down. Jiang Chen had showed up before and had even bled beside the Frozen Pond. She was sure no matter where Jiang Chen escaped, it would be useless. Li Yujian did not say anything more. She went back into the stone chamber, surprisingly silent. She did not even beg for Jiang Chen’s mercy.

“Aren’t you afraid I will kill you?” Jiang Chen asked out of curiosity.

“If you want to kill me, what can I change even if I beg for your mercy? If you don’t kill me, no matter whether you let me go or not, you are not in a situation favorable for yourself,” Li Yujian said candidly.

“Aren’t you afraid of death?”

“Yes, I am.” Li Yujian said, “If you promise you will let me go as long as I kneel down to beg you, I will do it, provided that I can tell if you are not lying to me.”

Throwing the woman a glance, Jiang Chen was surprised at this side of her. “If I die, I won’t let you go. I’m not that great,” Jiang Chen said.

The light in Li Yujian’s eyes dimmed. Her shoulders shivered a little bit.

“But there is a way that can save both of us,” Jiang Chen said.

Li Yujian looked up at him.

“Teach me the practicing method of Xuan Ling Qi.”

Rolling her eyes, Li Yujian tumbled to what he was up to. She shook her head immediately, as if this was unnegotiable. She even thought Jiang Chen a bit ignorant.

“I’ll let you go if you give me that,” Jiang Chen said.

Li Yujian looked down, but, a while later, she shook her head again.

“It’s not that I don’t want to. I can’t tell you. As soon as such a thought arises in my mind and I say the first word, the blood oath will burn me to death. I’ve got a spiritual seal in my head too. If anyone tries to look in my memory, my brain will explode immediately.” This was the reason she thought Jiang Chen’s plan ridiculous.

It dawned on Jiang Chen that it was easy for these people to get the spirit of martial arts, but they could only use it to practice.

“Even if I teach you that and you illuminate the First Constellation Palace, there might be an essential change, but your enemy is too strong for you to turn the tide,” Li Yujian said.

“Shut up,” Jiang Chen said.

Gnashing her teeth, Li Yujian was angry.

Jiang Chen did not give up. He was pondering. People had to go through Gu City to enter the forbidden land, but there were four portals deployed in four different places. They connected to different parts of the Realm of Spirits. However, as far as he knew, the enemy was all around them. It was impossible to reach any of the portals.

There is a big group of disciples of esoteric methods and strong people and grand supreme elders.

Jiang Chen knew he had to illuminate the First Constellation Palace. He also pinned his hopes on Li Yujian.

In the forbidden land, more and more people had joined the team to look for Jiang Chen. Besides the Genuine Heaven Religious Sect and the Ghost, the Silver Blood and the Flame Divinity had also joined them. The folks from the Seventh Realm were also surprised to see there were members of the Red Cloud Society on the team.

Not just anyone can get such treatment. People thought.

Soon, the team came to a cave and surrounded it closely. However, unfortunately, they had arrived too late. An arrow shot by You Xuan, stained by blood, was the only thing left in the cave.

“He was here not long ago. We should be able to catch up with him soon,” You Xuan said to the others, taking the dark golden arrow back.

“Why didn’t you shoot at his heart or head? You are so skilled at archery. You couldn’t miss it if you had done that.” Someone said.

Not just anyone could pose such a question to You Xuan. People looked over and found it was someone from the Flame Divinity, as famous as You Xuan.

The Ancient Race lost numerous men for nothing. They are finally angry for real. People thought, recognizing who that man was.

It was true. Even the Genuine Heaven Religious Sect had sent their esoteric disciples. And they also had grand supreme elders as the last resort. Jiang Chen would have nowhere to escape.

Jiang Chen had landed on a mountain with Li Yujian.

“You should know in the end you will be caught,” Li Yujian said.

“It’ll be our time to die,” Jiang Chen said.

Li Yujian’s facial expression changed. She said, “Even though you say this, it’s impossible for me to give you the practicing method of Xuan Ling Qi.”

“Why don’t you give me Xuan Ling Qi directly?” Jiang Chen asked.

Li Yujian was shocked. She looked toward him confusedly. “What do you mean?”

“Inject your Xuan Ling Qi into my constellation palace,” said Jiang Chen seriously.

“Are you crazy?!” As if she had heard something impossible, Li Yujian’s voice got very high-pitched. Her reaction was natural. Jiang Chen’s suggestion was totally insane. It was against common sense.

“Maybe,” Jiang Chen said.
