Asking for Humiliation
Chu Xingyun's figure flickered as he returned to his original spot. He never expected that Shui Qianyue would join Wanjian Pavilion.
Chu Xingyun was a little startled when he suddenly saw her, and subconsciously paused for a moment.
However, he was only surprised for a moment before he regained his composure.
Back then, outside the Imperial City, Chu Xingyun had saved Shui Qianyue and Shui Chongxian from Wu Jing Xue's army. From then on, he no longer had any grudges with the two of them. They were strangers.
Naturally, he wouldn't pay much attention to strangers. He only glanced at them for a moment before shifting his gaze away.
Clap clap clap clap …
A round of applause sounded.
Qi Yuzhen clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Luo Yun Sword Master to be so righteous. He didn't hesitate to use force to allow those people to cultivate peacefully. What an eye-opener!"
"Qi Yuzhen, the person you're targeting is me. Why do you have to involve others?" Chu Xingyun's voice was cold. As he spoke, he gave Xia Qingcheng a look, indicating for her to leave first.
"I advise you not to waste your energy."
Qi Yuzhen interrupted and glanced at Xia Qingcheng. "As long as you haven't accepted the challenge, I will continue to pester you so that you won't be able to cultivate peacefully. Anyway, to me, entering Xuanjian Valley isn't anything new. I can still afford to waste ten days."
"You …" Xia Qingcheng was instantly flustered. Flames of anger spewed out of her eyes, but at the same time, she also revealed a trace of helplessness.
Qi Yuzhen was Qi Yangchen's only son. He was extremely talented and had joined Wanjian Pavilion a long time ago.
In the past few years, he had entered Xuanjian Valley many times and was already used to the endless sword pressure. He didn't care about this opportunity at all.
Moreover, with his current cultivation, ten days of bitter cultivation wouldn't yield much results. Even if it was completely wasted, he wouldn't feel the pinch.
In view of these two points, Qi Yuzhen thought of this method. He used the ten days as a bargaining chip to force Chu Xingyun to accept the challenge.
Chu Xingyun stood where he was and stared coldly at Qi Yuzhen.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "There are countless hidden auras in this Mysterious Sword Valley. People outside should be able to see what is happening here, right?"
Although Qi Yuzhen didn't know what Chu Xingyun meant, he still answered, "Of course."
Chu Xingyun also laughed. The coldness in his eyes gradually faded as he said, "Qi Yuzhen, you are the son of the Sword Master. In order to force me to submit, you did not hesitate to use others as hostages. If this matter were to spread, the entire Qi Family would be humiliated!"
After hearing this, Qi Yuzhen's face darkened.
Just as he was about to speak, Chu Xingyun continued, "I can accept the challenge, but you have to bet something. If I win, the elbow guard on your right arm will belong to me. At the same time, you are not allowed to disturb others while they are cultivating!"
Chu Xingyun pointed at the silver-white elbow guard on Qi Yuzhen's right arm. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. It seemed like he would take the elbow guard for himself no matter what!
"What if you lose?" Qi Yuzhen was overjoyed, but he didn't agree right away. The silver-white elbow guard was a King Weapon. Although it was only a one-line King Weapon, it was still worth a lot.
"You don't even dare to bet with a one-line King Weapon?"
Seeing the change in Qi Yuzhen's eyes, Chu Xingyun pretended to be disdainful. He waved his hand, and three thick rays of light appeared and floated in mid-air.
"These … are all King Weapons!" Qi Yuzhen's eyes trembled. The three rays of light before him were all King Weapons. Two of them were two-line King Weapons, and one was three-line King Weapon. The aura emitted by each of them was far stronger than his silver-white elbow guard.
"I'm the Sword Owner, and you're only a core disciple. Since you want to bet with me, I can't be at a disadvantage. If I lose, these three King Weapons will belong to you."
After hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Qi Yuzhen thought he was hallucinating, and was stunned. Chu Xingyun frowned and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong? You don't want to? "
"No!"
Qi Yuzhen immediately shook his head and said in a hurry, "The bet is set. Everyone can bear witness. Neither side can go back on their words!"
After hearing this, Chu Xingyun looked at Xia Qingcheng. Xia Qingcheng immediately understood and said in a serious voice, "Don't worry. In these ten days, I'll take care of myself. You don't have to worry."
After saying that, she moved her feet and walked forward without looking back.
Xia Qingcheng knew that Chu Xingyun did this because he didn't want her to be affected. Qi Yuzhen didn't care about the Xuanjian Valley, but she did. She couldn't miss this great opportunity.
As for the bet, Xia Qingcheng didn't care too much about it.
She knew Chu Xingyun's temperament. He must have his own reasons for proposing such a bet. If she stayed by Chu Xingyun's side, she would only be a burden. If she left, Chu Xingyun would have no worries.
"Are you ready?" Qi Yuzhen said somewhat impatiently. He stood beside Chu Xingyun, the fire in his eyes almost gushing out. He was determined to get the three King Artifacts!
This time, Chu Xingyun didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "You didn't hesitate to use such a dirty method to force me to compete with you. What's the meaning of this?"
Qi Yuzhen was surprised at first, but then he smiled and said, "You've condensed a ninth level sword intent and become the Honorary Sword Master of the Wanjian Pavilion. How glorious is that? If I defeat you, then all your glory will belong to me. At the same time, everyone will know that I, Qi Yuzhen, have far more potential than you."
"As for the humiliation you have inflicted on the Qi Clan, you will pay it back a hundred times in ten days. Because the gap between our strength is too big, we don't need to fight to know the result of the bet."
"At that time, in terms of potential, you will have lost to me. In terms of strength, you will also lose to me. You, Luo Yun, will be my defeated opponent. You will be a complete loser with no power to fight back!"
Qi Yuzhen's arrogant words came out of his mouth.
As he finished speaking, he let out a burst of savage laughter. This laughter spread out, allowing everyone to hear it clearly. Even the people outside the Xuanjian Valley were no exception. They could hear it clearly.
Chu Xingyun's face remained calm after hearing those words. He said indifferently, "That's a good idea. However, I will let you know what it means to humiliate yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his gaze away, and his figure flashed like a ray of light as he swiftly flashed forward.
"Humiliate myself? Do you have the ability to do so? " The smile on Qi Yuzhen's face grew wider. His body flickered and he turned into a ray of light as he followed after Luo Yun.
It was quiet outside the Xuanjian Valley.
Everyone had seen everything that had just happened.
Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out, breaking the silence.
The one who laughed was Qi Yangchen.
He said proudly, "It has been three years since Yuzhen entered the Wanjian Pavilion. He has entered the Xuanjian Valley three times, so he knows the sword pressure of the Xuanjian Valley like the back of his hand. This year, his cultivation has reached the third level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. He should be able to reach the sixth level of the Xuanjian Valley."
"In comparison, although Luo Yun's sword intent is strong, his cultivation is lacking. It's already amazing for him to reach the fifth level. It's impossible for him to reach the sixth level. He has already lost this competition!"
Qi Yangchen was filled with joy. The competition hadn't ended yet, but he had already declared victory. Many people snorted at him and looked at him with disdain.
But disdain was disdain. Everyone agreed with Qi Yangchen's words.
The sword pressure of the Xuanjian Valley was endless. It suppressed the sword intent and spiritual sea at the same time. Chu Xingyun's sword intent was strong, reaching the ninth level. But his cultivation was too weak, so his spiritual sea couldn't withstand the sword pressure.
Just as Qi Yangchen had said, Chu Xingyun was already extremely powerful to be able to reach the fifth layer. It was enough to make everyone exclaim in surprise.
As for the sixth level, it was hopeless!
"Luo Yun, you lost to Yuzhen in the Xuanjian Valley. Ten days from now, you will lose the bet in the Sky Ascension Peak. At that time, you will become a complete joke. Your prestige as the Sword Master will no longer exist."
"This is the consequence of offending me!"
Qi Yangchen crossed his arms in front of his chest. His eyes were filled with pride. It was as if he could already see the scene of Chu Xingyun being humiliated. His expression was arrogant.
On the side, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo stood with cold smiles on their faces.
However, while he was sneering, Chang Chixiao had a bad feeling in his heart. It was as if something was going to happen soon, and he was a little anxious.
