Chapter 470: Difficult!

“I don’t want to explain anything. Take this bet as your win.”

He Qi stabbed the Yanling Blade into the ground and continued, “However, after hearing what you said, Nameless is really disgusting. For his own selfish desires, he didn’t even give his beloved girl a decent death.”

“Hehe, he’s wrong, but he’s not wrong either.”

Victor sneered. He seemed to not want to dwell on this topic for too long. However, He Qi was interested.

“Tell me in detail, what do you mean by wrong but not wrong?”

“To Lin Mei’er, she has already loved him to the last moment of her life. She didn’t live a glorious life, nor did she die with dignity. This is a mistake, and Nameless was the cause.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“A wholehearted focus on something would lead to the negligence of another. In this world, was there a choice that could satisfy both means?”

At that moment, this was the only sentence in Victor’s mind.

Obviously, this sentence was enough.

After saying this, everyone present fell silent, especially Feng Lian, Ren Yaxin, and the other female cultivators. Their eyes were filled with tears as they buried their heads in thought.

After a long while, He Qi finally broke the silence.

“What a good one. Was there a choice that could satisfy both means? To be honest, I suddenly want to be friends with you.”

He Qi gave a strange laugh. He immediately took out the Yanling Blade and placed it on his shoulder. He shook his head and continued, “Unfortunately, I have to defeat you and take back Nameless’s treasure.”

“If you can do it, then go ahead and try.” Victor laughed mockingly. He lightly flicked his wrist, and the Rose Sword sent out a wave of sword qi. Nameless and Lin Mei’er’s corpses rode on the sword qi and were sent to the Ape General’s side.

“Don’t worry, I’ll kill you right away!”

Whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart could be heard. He Qi turned into an afterimage and flew in front of Victor. The Yanling Blade in his hand was like a hot knife cutting through bamboo. He slashed down continuously, but Victor blocked all of them with his sword.

For a moment, sparks flew in all directions, and crisp sounds rang out continuously!

The first!

In terms of pure martial arts, He Qi was the first person who could compete with Victor in a head-on confrontation!

Needless to say, Victor’s nurturing of sword intent was extremely rare. Even in the Sword Cleansing Pond, it was rare to see such pure sword intent. A sword intent that was not for others, not for oneself, not for the benefits, and unaffected by the world.

To execute the sword purely for the sake of unstoppable momentum, and only for the sake of success!

Victor had achieved this.

However, such a terrifying sword intent that was able to force Su Haoge to use the death substitution puppet was received by He Qi unscathed.

What kind of concept was this?

At the very least, on the path of the saber, He Qi had reached the peak.

Saber intent and sword intent were two different paths that led to the same destination.

They were vastly different from the related cultivation system. In cultivation, one had to follow a step-by-step process. As long as one was talented and had sufficient resources, they could slowly become stronger.

However, for sword cultivators, saber cultivators, and other cultivators like them, it was normal for them to nurture their intent for ten years and amaze the world with a single feat. Yesterday, they would still be a peddler or a servant, but tomorrow, they would attain the Dao and ascend. It was just like how Li Hanlin was.

To them, compared to cultivation, they valued enlightenment more.

When an opportunity came, they could naturally breakthrough. If they did not, no matter what kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures they had, they would not be able to advance in the slightest.

It was because of this that sword cultivators, saber cultivators, and other similar cultivators were some of the sharpest edges in the world.

Of course, this was also a shackle that could not be easily broken.

Some people would spend their entire lives, but they might not be able to find their own path. As a result, it was difficult for them to take even a single step forward. In the end, they became ordinary people.

Therefore, although there were people who could compete with Victor in the path of martial arts, there were not many!

Victor looked at He Qi in front of him with great admiration, and He Qi returned the same gaze.

It was a blessing in life to meet a worthy opponent.

“Three moves, I will only use three moves.” Victor suddenly opened his mouth and explained, “Three moves won’t determine the winner. It will be the same for a hundred moves or a thousand moves. I am a body cultivator, and when it comes to physical strength, you are not my opponent. If you can take three moves from me, I will return the heart of the magic puppet to you.”

“You should know that what I care about, or rather, what Lord Altar Master cares about, is not the heart of the magic puppet.”

“The Double-stab is of great use to me. No matter what, I will not hand it over. Of course, you can choose to kill me. However, I don’t think you have the ability to do so.”

Victor was very clear that if he wanted to determine the victor between him and He Qi… he could only wait for the latter to run out of energy and obtain victory with his advantage as a strength cultivator.

It was a little despicable.

Hence, three moves.

He Qi was well aware of this.

In a prolonged battle, he would not be able to outlast Victor, who was a strength cultivator. Three moves were not too much.

“That’s fine too. In any case, I’ve tried my best. Even if the altar master blames me, I won’t be able to say much.”

He Qi grinned and placed the Yanling Blade horizontally in front of his chest. He was telling Victor that he was ready. Bring it on!

What responded to him was a dazzling light!

This was Victor’s first sword strike. It was his own way of the sword. It was originally nameless, but after thinking about it carefully, Victor decided to give it a name.

“First sword strike, Heart Knock!”

This was Victor’s first step in creating a martial arts unique to him. Not only was he able to copy others’ techniques but he could also lay down a path with his own martial arts!

With this sword strike, Victor knocked open the door to the path of martial arts to pry into one’s heart. He used his heart to control the sword, hence the name Heart Knock.

At the moment when the dazzling light exploded, He Qi moved.

He stood on the spot with both hands tightly holding the hilt of his saber. He gathered all the qi in his body and gave a response!

“You knocked open the door of your heart and created your own path of martial arts. It is indeed amazing.

“However, how can I, He Qi, lose to others? If you want to decide the winner in three moves, I will cut you down with three strikes! This strike is called Drunken Madness!”

“It should be the Immortal’s Drunken Madness that Crushed the White Clouds!”

Boom!

When the ultimate martial arts collided, even though there were more than ten nascent soul realm cultivators present, they were still shocked by the unparalleled beauty of these two people!

However, the core formation realm cultivators had already walked on of their own path!

As for them?

They had immersed themselves in the nascent soul realm for many years, yet they still had no clues. It really matched the old saying where the comparison between people was infuriating.

“Lord Gongye Yuyu, in your opinion, what’s the outcome of this battle?”

At the right time, Feng Lian and Hou Liangji looked at Gongye Yuyu at the same time, as if by obtaining an answer from the mouth of this genius who had created his own cultivation system, they could feel at ease.

However, Gongye Yuyu smiled and did not say anything about this. After a long while, he finally said something ambiguous.

“Why care so much about winning or losing? Isn’t our purpose of holding the ranking battle to find more pearls that have been covered in dust? Now, Altar Master Feng Lian and Altar Master Hou Liangji have both received a capable general. The former should not be complacent, and the latter should not feel regretful.

“After all, these two sons are both rare geniuses in the world. Even the Western and Northern Plains would fight over them.”
