"Just one move?" Su Chen’s indifferent voice rang true, and all the Outer Sect disciples present heard it clearly.
At that moment, the atmosphere became strangely unsettling.
One second he was conceding like a coward, and the next, he’s recklessly boasting as if seeking death? Has he lost his mind? Is he schizophrenic?
For a moment, various sneers, disdainful, and disgusted looks nearly drowned out Su Chen.
"Only one move?" Xiao Zhen slightly furrowed her brows.
Xiao Zhen was utterly disappointed!!!
If it were not for her extreme trust and admiration for Heyue Nishang, and Su Chen happened to be the person Heyue Nishang favored, she would really want to leave right now, letting Su Chen fend for himself.
Such a person, lacking fighting spirit, ambition, and will to battle, yet still acting recklessly and arrogantly without knowing his limits, does not deserve to be a Martial Cultivator.
At the same time, Zheng Ge laughed: "One move? Good, we’ll do just one move."
He too raised his hand, extending a finger: "One move to determine the outcome, to separate life and death. Under one move, regardless of the result, I promise, no second move."
Different people had different interpretations of Su Chen’s ’one move.’
Zheng Ge interpreted it as Su Chen being scared, fearing that fighting more would kill him, and delusionally hoping to save his life or face by just fighting once.
But in Zheng Ge’s view, Su Chen was naive. The gap in strength was too great; one move was no different from ten.
He was utterly confident that he could severely injure or even kill Su Chen in just one move, without needing a second.
Thinking this, Zheng Ge’s smile grew three parts more cruel and cold...
His longsword, as if sensing its master’s excitement and bloodlust, trembled slightly and whistled, eager to commence.
Zheng Ge stepped forward, walking towards Su Chen, and stopped about five meters from him.
Around them, the many Outer Sect disciples watching all took a step back, giving space to Su Chen and Zheng Ge.
Xiao Zhen stood behind Su Chen, her stunning face filled with severity and earnestness; she did not give way but instead kept her dazzling eyes fixed on Su Chen and Zheng Ge.
She had said earlier that she would save Su Chen. The reason Su Chen agreed to fight Zheng Ge, even if it was just for one move, was partly due to her. She was a person of her word, and even though she detested Su Chen’s cowardice and reluctance to fight, she would honor her promise to help Su Chen in danger.
And at that very second, no one expected Su Chen to suddenly turn his head and look towards Xiao Zhen: "Stay away from me."
Su Chen’s voice carried little emotion. He didn’t particularly dislike Xiao Zhen, but he didn’t like her either—she was just a stranger.
He thought Xiao Zhen was a bit meddlesome and presumptuous, though her intentions were undoubtedly not bad.
He asked Xiao Zhen to stay back for two reasons; first, she was too close, which might result in her getting hurt. Second, in case Xiao Zhen suddenly got the urge to interfere with the fight, which he didn’t like.
Thus, it was better for Xiao Zhen to keep her distance.
"You..." Xiao Zhen was first stunned, and then her beautiful face abruptly turned pale as frost.
It was rage!!! Towering rage!
She obviously had Su Chen’s best interests at heart, wanting to be close enough that once the fighting started, she could save him from danger if needed. To think that Su Chen would be so ungrateful.
It was infuriating, too infuriating. Those bright eyes of hers glared fiercely at Su Chen, burning intensely.
"Su Chen, are you too ungrateful?! Isn’t Zhen’er just concerned about you? What are you pretending for? People who don’t know better might think you’re actually capable! A genius! An Era’s genius! How ridiculous! You’re just trash!" At that moment, Liu Yu, who was standing among the crowd shouted loudly. She and Xiao Zhen were like sisters, how could she not stand up for her now that Xiao Zhen was being harassed?
"I said, keep your distance." Su Chen ignored Liu Yu and repeated to Xiao Zhen.
He didn’t explain much, just a trace of impatience appeared between his brows.
Whether Xiao Zhen was good or bad, beautiful or ugly, it had nothing to do with him. Acting as though they were familiar when they were merely strangers was just obnoxious and wasting his time.
That slight impatience between Su Chen’s brows, though faint, was captured by Xiao Zhen. Instantly, her heart filled with rage and numerous grievances, her face growing colder as she retreated, "Fine, I’ll keep my distance and see how you die?!" For original chapters go to nοvelfire.net
Xiao Zhen was truly infuriated.
Kindness treated like donkey liver and lungs, if Su Chen truly possessed absolute strength, why would he surrender earlier? Showing his weakness? Just a weakling putting on airs, truly seeking his own death!
Gritting her teeth, Xiao Zhen stepped back over ten steps before stopping.
"Heh..." Zheng Ge couldn’t help but shake his head, Su Chen’s foolish actions made him sigh, completely seeking his own death! Initially, with Xiao Zhen around and fighting just one move, if Xiao Zhen intervened, Su Chen might have survived, but now Su Chen...
"Are we ready to fight?" Su Chen asked indifferently.
His time was precious.
"It’s time!" Zheng Ge nodded, blinked, and said, "Go ahead, make your move!"
"Alright." Su Chen nodded.
The Heavy Divine Sword suddenly appeared in Su Chen’s hand.
Sword in hand, Su Chen’s aura transformed instantly!!!
A moment ago, it was calm, indifferent, chilling, and in the next, it became ancient, substantial, and domineering...
It was as if the previous moment was cold water, and the next became an insurmountable, towering mountain!
The change in momentum was immense.
And in that instant when this change in momentum appeared, Su Chen made his move, without any preparation, without gathering momentum, without any superfluous words, he just acted.
In dealing with Zheng Ge, although Su Chen looked down on him, he didn’t take him lightly. There was no need for his hidden cards like Dark Oblivion, Mysterious Beast Bone, and the instantaneous use of Mysterious Technique, Body Technique, and Soul Technique. However, Heart Soul Chaos still needed to be executed, under the conditions of Three Powers Transformation and Divine Power Compression.
That was the Heart Soul Chaos with around five or six hundred million Dragon Force!
Its power was also extremely terrifying.
As the sword was unleashed, in an instant, outside the Fire Pool, the heavens and earth seemed to be struck by an unprecedented storm of Sword Light. Everywhere—mind, spirit, in front, behind—all senses, sight, hearing, taste, were dominated by the sword, a world enveloped by a noisy, chaotic, brutal, disordered Sword Light, indistinguishable between self and others, past and future, reality and illusion.
All there was a soul-expanding, dizzying, ghostly wails and wolf howls.
And within this chaotic world of Sword Light, Su Chen’s sword strike had already been launched!!!
All chaos turned into reality.
That overwhelmingly powerful strike, breaking illusions, breaking the godless, breaking heaven and earth, piercing through everything, fully splendid, directly targeting Zheng Ge.
