Chapter 970: Chapter 10: You Think You’re Worthy?!
The Demon Sect Hierarch spoke with a warm smile, though when her gaze turned to Shaking Light, it was complex. Li Guanyi did not respond but instead grasped the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd in his right hand and paced to create some distance:
“Demon Sect Hierarch.”
The expression on the woman’s face paused momentarily, and she gave a bitter smile: “The Demon Sect, hm…” Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel{f}ire.net
“So this is how we’re spoken of outside.”
She fell silent for a moment, clasping her hands in front of her, and said, “We have our unspeakable difficulties too, do you know, the victor becomes the king… simply because we are the defeated, have all sorts of smears and accusations been pinned onto us.”
“We just wish to stand pridefully in this world.”
“Yet those kings and ministers can’t tolerate the common people having their own beliefs… Marquis Qin Wu has the title of benevolent, and I thought you wouldn’t be like those before you.”
“I thought there might even be a possibility for us to cooperate.”
She paused, gave a slight bow, and said, “But in any case, I should thank you, if it weren’t for you, I fear I wouldn’t have been able to see my daughter again in this lifetime…”
The woman looked towards the silver-haired girl over there, her gaze complex, with sadness, she said softly, “Back then… there were many things I couldn’t help. Whether you forgive your mother or not, you are still my flesh and blood.”
The silver-haired girl looked on quietly, her face showing no expression at all.
The woman continued, “Marquis Qin Wu, I’m aware of your title and understand your abilities. According to your usual style, you have come here for the world’s great affair, to seize the Western Regions.”
“Then that Old Wolf King must be your opponent.”
“From this perspective, our interests align, even if you have too many misconceptions about us, I think we can cooperate against the Wolf King, and many misconceptions will naturally resolve through this cooperation.”
Li Guanyi paced to create some distance and said slowly, “The foundation of the Demon Sect is indeed decent, with hundreds of years of accumulation, gold and silver treasures, weapons and armors, and connections, but how can we know if you are sincere?”
The stunning woman solemnly said, “Blood is thicker than water.”
“Marry my daughter, and you’ll be my son-in-law, isn’t that enough?”
“I can swear here and now, to hand over the position of Sect Hierarch to my daughter…”
Li Guanyi paused, glanced at Shaking Light beside him, signaling the silver-haired girl to release his arm.
Shaking Light gripped his arm, then released it.
Li Guanyi walked forward slowly, seemingly convinced, his right hand implanted the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd into the ground, releasing the halberd’s handle. The silver-haired girl watched him move forward, pursed her lips.
Li Guanyi said, “I do happen to lack money and things.”
The stunning woman watched this scene, her attention all on Li Guanyi’s Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd. Watching him release it, her guard dropped subconsciously for a moment, smiling: “Good son-in-law…”
Before she could finish speaking, a chilling light burst open.
Li Guanyi’s left hand was already on his back waist.
The world’s sharpest Qiushui Sword was drawn out.
Under the Sword Madman’s technique, it tore out a frigid gleam, the woman’s figure scattered and reunited, barely avoiding this domineering strike, but Li Guanyi had already taken half a step forward, and in that instant, his right hand gripped the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd and slashed horizontally.
Li Guanyi said, “Using gold and silver to tempt me?”
The impoverished lord who had risen through conquest said:
“Destroy the Demon Sect, and your gold and silver will still be mine.”
The weapons’ cries resonated in this place, like a tiger’s roar.
The Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd carved a ferocious ark.
In nearly the most domineering, violent manner, it was lifted for a vertical chop down.
The one striking was wielding the halberd with a decisive killing intent to cleave a person in two.
The dark-gold blade trembled violently.
A wave of Dharma Form flickered past, a long sword appeared in the stunning woman’s hand, deflecting the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd, yet even the body manifesting the divine skill suffered an impact, causing the steel-crafted secret chamber to tremble, showing hideous cracks, dropping sand and stone.
Li Guanyi pressed the woman’s sword down with the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd, saying:
“Do you deserve to call me that?!”
That woman could still smile:
“It seems Marquis Qin Wu doesn’t fancy the daughter of my Holy Sect Hierarch?”
Li Guanyi responded sternly: “Of course not, she and I have gone through life and death together, where do you get off being so presumptuous?”
“It’s you who aren’t worthy of calling her daughter.”
“Nor worthy to call me son-in-law!”
The silver-haired girl was slightly stunned.
The cool girl’s mind momentarily stalled.
She seemed unable to process her thoughts for an instant.
Li Guanyi was already launching frenzied attacks, tossing Qiushui with his left hand towards Shaking Light, then firmly grasped the Scaled Armor of the Red Dragon, Red Dragon roared loudly, the golden-red flow burst vehemently, then subsided, transforming into a long sword.
This self-proclaimed trader, with the Divine Weapon Chi Xiao Sword in his left hand, and the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd in his right, aimed only at the Demon Sect Hierarch, executing lethal moves without mercy, the Sword of Sword Madman, and the Battle Halberd of General Xue were used in turn, either hacking or slashing, stabbing forward or shearing with the sword.
Li Guanyi fully unleashed his martial prowess.
Such an outburst could only be sustained by someone like him, an unmatched overlord of the same realm, coupled with the Immortal Body, forcibly suppressing the Demon Sect Hierarch, saying:
“Inescapable difficulties?”
“Hypocritical, sickening!”
The Demon Sect Hierarch Xiao Yuxue had a trace of pain flicker in her eyes, fell silent for a moment, and said, “In this matter, it’s not false, if I had any other option… what woman would willingly sacrifice her child?”
