Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

With a deafening boom, a powerful shockwave swept across the ground, carrying away rubble and gravel. The surrounding stone walls creaked and clanged as the sand and gravel struck the three human emperor statues. However, the statues showed no reaction whatsoever, as if they were hitting solid iron ingots.

The three human emperors looked down at the earth, their eyes filled with pity, as if mocking the weakness of future generations.

Chen Jie stood still, while Li Siqi held a knife in one hand and had the other behind his back, displaying the demeanor of a master. Although their previous attack had been impressive, it was merely a test.

After testing each other, they both sensed the other's strength and realized that the other was definitely not someone they could easily defeat.

Having figured this out, Chen Jie took a small step forward. He was wearing a black night-clothes, and behind him was the cliff face of Lin Yuan Pavilion, whose destination was unknown.

On the other side, Li Siqi held the Tiger Soul Blade in one hand and had the other behind his back. He was wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with dragon patterns in gold thread, which was his royal robe.

At this moment, the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand drooped slightly. Chen Jie also noticed the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand. He had heard of the blade's formidable reputation.

Then he looked at the knife. The blade was as clear as solidified lava, with faint blood-red light flowing along its spine. If you looked closely, you could see seven gilded patterns on the blade that flickered with Li Siqi's breath, as if the knife could breathe with its master.

This knife is alive!
This is the feeling this knife gave Chen Jie. Chen Jie took a deep breath, looked at the knife in front of him, and felt even more threatened.

Because with each breath he took with Li Siqi, the golden patterns on the blade would light up, and as the golden patterns brightened, the blade began to emit a scorching heat, spreading outwards and distorting the surrounding air.

At this moment, Li Siqi slowly lowered the knife, and swish!

The blade's energy descended, slicing through the bluestone on the ground. The cut was a deep crimson, and even the wild grass growing in the cracks of the stone was scorched and curled by the terrifying heat, withering away inch by inch.

Chen Jie then looked up at Li Siqi, who smiled and said, "What, scared?"

Chen Jie said, "It's truly a pity that such a precious sword has fallen into your hands."

Li Siqi smiled and said, "Hehe, if Heaven doesn't bless you, then Heaven will bless me. But in any case, it's time for us to settle things today."

As Li Siqi spoke, he raised the Tiger Soul Sword in his hand. At that moment, terrifying demonic flames flashed on it, and the sword guard was shaped like a tiger's head. Holding it in his hand, he gave people a fierce feeling.

At this moment, Li Siqi lightly touched the ground with his toes and rushed directly towards Chen Jie, unleashing a deadly move. Chen Jie remained calm upon seeing this and suddenly attacked with the Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms, wanting to test whether there was any possibility of victory in a head-on confrontation.

At this moment, Chen Jie raised his hand and unleashed the Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms [Dragon Battle in the Wild].

With a powerful palm strike, he met Li Siqi's knife head-on. As he unleashed his palm, accompanied by a dragon's roar, a giant dragon charged directly towards Li Siqi.

Seeing this, Li Siqi waved his hand and unleashed a powerful attack: "Even a grain of rice can rival the sun and moon in brilliance! Overlord Blade - Wildfire!"

With a roar, a crimson blade of light shot into the sky, instantly transforming into a chain of fire that directly met the dragon shadow. The two collided with a deafening roar, causing the surrounding rocks to tremble and rubble to fall.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Shicheng, who had followed in, stared blankly at the two fighting in the air, his eyes filled with longing. So strong!
The shockwaves from their battle were so powerful; I wonder what the center area is like.

Moreover, just getting close to this place, I can feel the intense heat of the flames. Is this the terrifying power of the Demonic Tiger Soul?

Zhang Shicheng was practically drooling over the Tiger Soul Blade, but then a voice came from behind: "Forget about the Tiger Soul Blade for now, look behind this statue!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shicheng immediately snapped out of his daze and looked directly at the three enormous statues.

"The Three Statues of the Human Emperor!"

Zhang Shicheng muttered something to himself, then quickly realized what was happening and hid behind the statues. When he looked up, he immediately saw the cultivation techniques inscribed on the back of the three statues, and Zhang Shicheng was instantly excited.

"The last two levels of the Nine Li Demonic Art!"

Zhang Shicheng was overjoyed, his face showing unprecedented excitement. Back then, inside the lava, he had watched helplessly as the latter half of the Nine Li Demon Art fell into the lava and could not be retrieved.

Now that I think about it!

Zhang Shicheng said, "Heaven has been kind to me, bestowing such divine skills upon me at this time. Heaven truly has eyes."

Thinking this, he disregarded everything else and began to seriously record the Nine Li Demonic Arts that he had not yet mastered. He saw on the inscription that it recorded:

In the beginning of chaos, before heaven and earth were settled, the Nine Li were the bones, the Eight Desolations were the blood, the fighting spirit was undying, the demonic heart lived on forever, with this as the guiding principle, the true demon was forged...

Looking at the techniques recorded in the "Nine Li Demon Art", Zhang Shicheng was momentarily stunned. This was the Nine Li Demon Art, the number one demon art in all of history!
He was so excited that he forgot he was in the midst of a dangerous battlefield.

Zhang Shicheng frantically stole martial arts skills here, while Li Siqi and Chen Jie had already begun a life-or-death battle. Li Siqi, relying on his fourth-level Fusion God combat power, wielded the Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms with unparalleled skill. His palm force was continuous and unstoppable, and his fierceness was combined with a bit of resilience. The dragon shadows attacked one after another, making him incomparably powerful for a time.

However, Li Siqi was even wilder than Chen Jie. With the Overlord Blade Technique combined with the indestructible Tiger Soul Blade, he was almost invincible. When he swung his blade, it was a blade light with invincible high temperature. The powerful blade light could split stone tablets and shatter rock walls without any problem. Magma churned, and it was as if there was a small volcano inside the blade that was about to erupt.

Although Chen Jie was very strong, he was still restrained under the Tiger Soul Blade. In fact, he didn't dare to clash with Li Siqi's Tiger Soul Blade with his Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms. After all, no matter how strong Chen Jie's palm wind was, he was still a mortal. How could he dare to fight against a divine weapon?
At this moment, Chen Jie recalled the novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" that he had read in his previous life. The Dragon Saber in the novel was terrifying, and it was difficult for people of the same level to compete with it. Unless one's strength far surpassed that of the opponent, it was impossible to compete with someone who wielded the Dragon Saber.

After all, such a sharp and invincible treasured sword is extremely difficult to contend with. Ordinary swords would break upon contact, and if someone skilled in hand-to-hand combat tried to catch it with their fists or feet, they would lose their arms or legs. Therefore, it is incredibly difficult to contend with it.

That's why there's the saying: "The supreme martial arts weapon is the Dragon-Slaying Saber; without the Heaven-Reliant Sword, who can rival it?"

If someone of the same level were to possess such a divine weapon, they would be truly difficult to contend with. Moreover, the weapon Li Siqi wielded was the legendary Demon Blade Tiger Soul, whose power was far beyond what any Dragon Slayer Blade could withstand!
Fortunately, Li Siqi's cultivation technique was ordinary; it was the Overlord Blade, not the Nine Li Demon Art. If he had cultivated the Nine Li Demon Art, possessed the Tiger Soul Blade, and was still at the fourth level of the Melting God realm, Chen Jie would have definitely turned and run without a word.

However, since Li Siqi doesn't practice the Nine Li Demon Art, there's still a chance for a fight.

The Tiger Soul Blade is still the Tiger Soul Blade, and the Overlord Blade is still the Overlord Blade. It only gives Li Siqi an extra divine weapon. However, the bonus he receives is definitely not as terrifying as the bonus from the Nine Li Demon Art.

Li Siqi grew increasingly happier with each fight. He realized that Chen Jiu Si was utterly afraid to engage him in a direct confrontation; if he dared not fight against Li Siqi's Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms, then he was a joke. At this moment, Li Siqi shouted fiercely, "Haha, Chen Jiu Si, if you've got the guts, don't run away! If you've got the guts, fight me!"

Hearing Li Siqi's shouts, Chen Jie frowned, but did not react at all. After all, he could not beat Li Siqi now, so he did not intend to fight him head-on.

Of course, saying he can't beat him is a bit inaccurate. To be precise, if Chen Jie doesn't fully activate the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, he might not be able to determine a winner with Li Siqi. However, he can't go all in right now, so he is still testing Li Siqi's strength.

After testing each other for a long time, Li Siqi angrily said, "Chen Jiu Si, don't be a coward, come and fight me head-on!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Li Siqi, if you have the guts, throw away the Tiger Soul Blade. If you do, I'll fight you to the death."

"You're dreaming. I'm a swordsman, my sword is my life. There's no reason for me to abandon my sword to fight."

"Fine, fine, so you're too scared? If you're too scared, why are you bragging to me? I don't respect people like you!"

Chen Jie spoke provocatively, and upon hearing this, Li Siqi sneered, "Do you think I'm a child? You think I'd give up my advantages because of a few words from you? You're dreaming! Take this!"

【Overlord Blade - Chaos of Heaven】

With a roar, Li Siqi unleashed a slash, and the blade light split in the next instant, from one beam to three, then nine, then a hundred!

In an instant, it formed a shape like a giant comb, which suddenly descended and enveloped Chen Jie. If Chen Jie couldn't dodge in time, he would have no choice but to take the hit head-on. If he did, his body would be slowed down, and Li Siqi would force him into a direct confrontation. Facing Li Siqi with the Tiger Soul Blade, it would be difficult for Chen Jie not to be at a disadvantage in a head-on fight.

Sensing the danger, Chen Jie's gaze sharpened, and a mysterious light suddenly shone around him. He vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing directly outside the range of Li Siqi's attack.

Seeing this, Li Siqi frowned and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!"

Chen Jie clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness Prince Qi is indeed formidable, forcing me to flee in such a sorry state."

Li Siqi frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You want to fight a war of attrition with me? But let me give you a piece of advice: the longer this drags on, the worse your end will be. Don't forget, this is the Immortal Realm, and the Eastern King is here!"

Chen Jie looked at Li Siqi and said, "Hehe... Your Highness didn't seem to be the kind of person who bullies others with your power before. Why do you only know how to find someone to fight now?"

Li Siqi said, "Hehe, Chen Jiu Si, stop talking nonsense. Even if you talk until the end of time, I will still kill you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Li Siqi and sighed, "King Qi's blade is so sharp that I'm not confident I can defeat you. However, I'd like to ask someone to help me. What do you think?"

Li Siqi frowned slightly and said, "Invite someone? There are other people here!"

Li Siqi was startled. At that moment, Chen Jie suddenly flashed and rushed directly behind the three statues of the Human Emperor. Zhang Shicheng, who was studying the Nine Li Demon Art, had not yet reacted, but the golden toad in his mind was anxious.

"Quickly! Something's happened!"

Zhang Shicheng was completely engrossed in watching the "Ten Thousand Demons Return to the Lord" technique. It was indeed "Ten Thousand Demons Return to the Lord"! So that's how it is! In that case, what do I have to fear from the Holy Lord of Fusang? He's just putting on an act. He's still my charming ancestor! If I can master this divine skill, the world should be under my rule!
As Zhang Shicheng thought about this, his gaze became completely absorbed.

But at that moment, the golden toad in my mind cried out in alarm: "Run! Run!"

"how!"

Zhang Shicheng looked impatient. This golden toad was really annoying. He was just getting into it when it started yelling. Couldn't it wait for him...?

"Fuck!"

Zhang Shicheng suddenly looked up, his face turning deathly pale. His eyes were glazed over, filled with terror, and only one word echoed in his mind: "My God, this is going to kill me!"

"This is really deadly!"

Zhang Shicheng was terrified. He saw Chen Jiu Si charging towards him at an astonishing speed. At that moment, Li Si Qi, following behind, roared and swung his Tiger Soul Blade—[Overlord Blade—Heaven and Earth Returning Origin Slash!]

With a roar, Li Siqi's Tiger Soul Blade suddenly unleashed a crimson blade of light, which flew directly toward Chen Jie.

Chen Jie was now facing Zhang Shicheng with a hint of mockery on his face. This guy was indeed very good at hiding. He hadn't noticed him at first, but just now when Chen Jie used the Great Shift of the Universe, he sensed the surrounding space and discovered that the space behind the statue was very different.

In that instant, Chen Jie realized that someone was hiding there.

Therefore, Chen Jie directly shifted the blame eastward. The fact that he was able to sneak into the fight between Chen Jie and Li Siqi clearly meant he was no ordinary person. In that case, Chen Jie wanted to see just how bold he was to get involved in the fight between Chen Jie and Li Siqi.

Having figured this out, Chen Jie charged forward. Just then, he saw Li Siqi slashing at him with his sword. He knew the time was right, so Chen Jie dodged in a flash. The next moment, the sword light shot directly towards Zhang Shicheng.

Zhang Shicheng rolled on the ground in terror, barely dodging the attack. The powerful blade slashed down instantly, followed by a loud boom. Dust and smoke billowed from where the blade had cleaved through the ground, and a large crater had appeared.

Just then, Zhang Shicheng rolled out from behind the statue, scrambled to his feet, and said, "Wait!"

At this moment, Li Siqi had already raised the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand, preparing to strike a second time, while Chen Jiu Si stood aside with his arms crossed, watching the show and waiting to see what this presumptuous guy was going to do to resolve the current situation.

Zhang Shicheng looked at Li Siqi and said, "King Qi, please wait!"

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi paused in his hand, looking at Zhang Shicheng and saying, "I've known you were up to something for a while now. Who are you, and why did you follow me in?"

Zhang Shicheng then spoke up, "Your Highness, who I am is not important. What's important is that I came here to help. So, Your Highness, how about we join forces to get rid of Chen Jiu Si and eliminate this major threat?" (End of Chapter)
