Shui Chun still had an ace in the hole, and he would use it, since he couldn’t accept this result.

He stopped holding back and exerted his unique movement, as if trying to prove he wasn’t just bluffing.

A magnificent white dragon whirled around him. If the square had been enclosed, the amount of water could have turned it into a pond.

“If I had wanted to kill you, I could have used this movement at the beginning. Yet you thought you’d won. Ridiculous!”

Shui Chun was shouting loudly so that the spectators could clearly hear him and understand that he wasn’t worse than Jiang Chen.

“Start!”

He raised his hands high, as if he was supporting the sky. The tumbling current of water turned into a giant beast, attacking Jiang Chen.

“He’s doomed.”

People retreated until they were very far away, but still at a place where they could see the square clearly.

The palm attack was pure force. No matter how great people’s martial arts techniques were, if they didn’t have the power of the same state, they would be overwhelmed.

It was understandable why Shui Chun had insisted on exerting this movement. This formidable palm attack humbled the reverse-blade knife in Jiang Chen’s hand.

It was like a single s.h.i.+p facing a stormy sea.

He had no place to run to, only able stay there and wait for his death.

“Eight extraordinary meridians all developed, wind and lightning to receive orders!”

However, as Jiang Chen stomped, a surprisingly great force was released, and people changed their opinions.

If they had X-ray eyes, they would see Jiang Chen’s eight extraordinary meridians s.h.i.+ning. There was a pool of electricity in his Qihai.

A strong gale was emerging around him, arcs of electricity jumping in the gale.

“A limitless sword attack!”

He put his reverse-blade knife back into the sheath first, then drew it out again with his left hand, still using the momentum.

The contradictory combination had an amazing effect. The energy of sword was potent and sharp. Along with the elevation of sword, it could destroy any material, no matter how hard.

He threw his sword out in the midst of wind and lightning.

If he had looked like a single s.h.i.+p to people before, at that moment, he was like a giant beast jumping out of the water from the bottom of the sea. He was breaking the wave with startling power!

Whoos.h.!.+

The water beast with formidable power broke open the wave and created a pa.s.sage wherever it moved.

There was neither confrontation nor traces of a crash. It simply broke open the wave and created a pa.s.sage directly.

“No…”

Shui Chun, still in the posture of launching his palm attack, didn’t have the chance to continue speaking, since Jiang Chen had pierced through his body.

It looked like his body had been cut in two. His upper body and the lower body folded, and he collapsed a few seconds later.

With a splash, the palm power erupted. Huge amounts of water fell onto the ground and flowed around them.

Jiang Chen stopped on one side of the square. He took a big step forward with his left foot and kept his right leg straight behind him, lunging.

He raised his knife with his left hand until the blade of the knife was at his shoulder.

The edge, usually pointed upward, was placed downward.

The reversed knife!

“You just ‘died’ once again, and brought yourself more shame.” Jiang Chen was grasping the sheath with his right hand and putting the knife back into it with his left hand.

When he turned around, Shui Chun was making an effort to get to his feet.

He had no bleeding wounds, but he was covering his middle. His face was dripping with sweat.

“You should feel grateful to the Hero Palace, you really should. You could have been a dead body without their help,” Jiang Chen wiped the water off his wet face and insulted him without mercy.

“You! It doesn’t count—”

Without waiting for him to finish his words, Jiang Chen dashed straight towards him.

Shui Chun was in the middle of Jiang Chen’s path. When the latter pa.s.sed by him, he flew into the sky until he was five or six yards high and fell, hard.

This time, he was bleeding a lot and had definitely fractured something.

The hidden grand elders frowned, hesitant to intervene.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen wasn’t going to continue the fight.

“That was to pay back the palm attack your father gave me,” said Jiang Chen coldly.

Shui Chun was still reluctant to accept his defeat, but he didn’t dare show it.

His friends ran out of the crowd in case Jiang Chen attacked him again, even if they weren’t strong enough to stop Jiang Chen.

Shui Chun pulled away from his friends. He was too proud to accept the result. He walked away with stumbling steps.

“Ying Wushuang and I will use the Soothing Lake from now on. Whoever tries to stop us will end up like him.”

Jiang Chen looked towards the disciples of the Sword a.s.sociation. His look was as sharp as his sword.

The disciples of the Sword a.s.sociation were murmuring, not convinced, but not daring to talk back.

Ying Wushuang was surprised at the mention of her name.

At first, she had been afraid that the whole Hero Palace would misunderstand their relations.h.i.+p due to his words and the fact that they had been together a lot recently.

But after hearing him, she didn’t feel annoyed at all. Instead, she felt wonderful.

Her frozen heart seemed to melt a bit.

“Wushuang, let’s go,” he said to Ying Wushuang and left. Jiang Chen didn’t have to stay there anymore.

Ying Wushuang thought for a second then followed him.

This fight had only been between the two rivals. Even though there was a winner, there wouldn’t be any awards, so since the two partic.i.p.ants had left, the spectators also departed.

They went to broadcast Shui Chun’s defeat to those who hadn’t bothered to watch the fight since it had been believed he would win.

They were curious to see people’s reactions after hearing the news.

On a far away cliff, a man was gazing at the square.

It was quite foggy and far away. From this distance, he wasn’t supposed to see anything, but he had seen everything.

He frowned when Ying Wushuang followed Jiang Chen to leave.

“What? Are you still in love with her?” a coltish voice came from behind him. A man as tall as him had shown up.

He didn’t give the guy who was there before him any chance to speak. He said, “This Jiang Chen is good at swordsmans.h.i.+p. If not for these surprises, he would have been a great help to your Sword a.s.sociation.”

“He’s so-so. His sword attack today wasn’t as powerful as the one he used to kill Zhao Yajun around the grand elders.” The other guy’s voice was deeper. He seemed more sensible.

“Maybe he didn’t give it his all?” The guy found it funny.

“Cloud One of the Reaching Heaven State against Cloud Three. Do you think it would be possible for him to hold back?”

“Of course. The gap between them is their states. Shui Chun was smart. All of his movements today relied on force.”

“But it was a surprise to him that he was lacking in force. I a.s.sume Jiang Chen has developed many extraordinary meridians.”

“Probably.”

These two’s comments were the most valuable in the Hero Palace due to their ident.i.ties. One of them was the president of the Sword a.s.sociation, Mo Jianfei. The other was the president of the Knife Dragon a.s.sociation, Song Que.

“What are you going to do with him?” Song Que asked.

“I have nothing to do with him.”

Mo Jianfei shook his head slightly. It wasn’t that his explanation was to prove his innocence, he only meant that Jiang Chen wasn’t someone that bothered him.

“It was Murong…”

Song Que thought of Murong Xing, who still couldn’t get out of his bed, and his sister. He realized something.

“He’ll definitely turn against the Sword a.s.sociation. Aren’t you going to stop him?” Song Que said, curious.

Mo Jianfei didn’t answer him. He lightly curled his lips.

Song Que knew he was too proud to answer this question, so he said, “All right. Let’s talk about something serious. Huangfu Qi killed Chu Nan, and he claimed he would challenge your rank on the Fighting Power List. What do you think?”

“He’s ignorant,” Mo Jianfei said calmly.
