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

boom!
A terrifying explosion rang out, shaking the heavens and the earth. Both sides unleashed their strongest attacks in a fierce clash, causing the sky and earth to change color and the sun and moon to lose their light.

An explosion, a violent explosion, sent dust flying up from the ground.

The top of the cave cracked open, revealing the outermost tough Spirit Stone. These solid Spirit Stones withstood the impact, and the entire cave seemed to be swept up by a typhoon, engulfing all the surrounding dust.

At that moment, right in the center of the explosion, Chen Jiu Si clutched his shoulder, where a huge wound was gushing blood.

The Tiger Soul Blade was too powerful. At the last moment, he couldn't block the blade, but he managed to deflect it slightly, only injuring his shoulder.

The knife wounds were so deep that bone was visible, demonstrating the terrifying nature of their battle.

On the other hand, Li Siqi appeared to be unharmed, standing there, but the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand was nowhere to be seen.

The two stood facing each other, staring at one another. After a long pause, Li Siqi spoke: "The Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor, they're really powerful, wow..."

After saying this, he spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately knelt on the ground. If you looked at him now, you could see a huge fist-shaped indentation on his chest. This punch had shattered his heart. Although he seemed to be fine on the surface, his internal organs were actually in complete disarray.

On the contrary, Chen Jie appeared to be seriously injured, with his arm almost chopped off, but in reality, it was just a superficial wound.

Chen Jie was slowly using the life force of the Everlasting Spring Technique to repair his wounds little by little. Normally, repairing such wounds should not be difficult, but just as the life force was slowly flowing into Chen Jie's shoulder, he discovered a powerful and indelible scorching force at his shoulder, blocking the healing process.

Chen Jie looked at his shoulder and knew that it wouldn't heal anytime soon. This strong, scorching power must be the residual power from the Tiger Soul Blade. This power was so strong that it couldn't be erased in a short time.

Therefore, the life force cannot heal wounds immediately.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie gritted his teeth, took out a roll of gauze that he had prepared for a long time but had not used from his storage ring, and covered the wound first, otherwise the bleeding could kill him.

Chen Jie then slowly walked towards Li Siqi, who knelt on one knee, feeling her life force slowly draining away.

Chen Jie came up to him and said, "You almost, you really almost killed me with one blow. If the blade hadn't missed by an inch, my head would be chopped off by now."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi's face fell slightly as she said, "No, is it still just one inch short?"

"Chen Jiu Si, cough cough, you've won again this time!"

As Li Siqi spoke, he coughed and began spitting out black blood.

Chen Jie looked at Li Siqi and said, "Actually, you almost killed me. If you had learned the Nine Li Demon Art instead of the Overlord Blade Technique, I would have died today, instead of being like this!"

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi said, "Yes, that sword has its own arrogance. Although the Overlord Blade is already the strongest in swordsmanship, unfortunately, cough cough... it still can't control the Tiger Soul Blade!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Li Siqi and said, "Yes, that knife seems to be alive, able to control its own destiny."

Li Siqi said, "Cough cough... Chen Jiu Si, I don't have much time left. It seems that destiny is in your hands, not mine. With your current power, the two from the Tang Clan and the Whale Shark Gang outside are no match for you. This world will eventually belong to you."

Chen Jie looked at Li Siqi, wondering what he was going to say.

Li Siqi said, "Before I die, I have a regretful request, cough cough... I have a good-for-nothing son. If you become the ruler of the world in the future, could you give him a way out? Let him go north to the desert to herd horses or go south to the South Seas to fish, but don't kill him."

"He's just a stupid kid."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Li Siqi and said, "Isn't it wishful thinking for you to entrust your son to the enemy? Besides, if I let him go to the northern deserts or the South Seas, wouldn't that be a disaster for me in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi looked at Chen Jie and said, "Hehe, Chen Jiu Si, you have never been a coward. You shouldn't be afraid."

Chen Jie looked at Li Siqi and said, "I am not a stupid person. I know that to cut the weeds, you must nip them in the bud. How can I spare his life?"

Li Siqi smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe, you really are a ruthless person. Since that's the case, then I'll make another suggestion. I've heard that you like to collect the secret manuals of everyone in the world. How about I use my Overlord Blade Technique to do you a favor?"

Chen Jie said, "I do like the Overlord Blade, but I'm afraid I can't agree to use it to repay a favor."

Li Siqi said, "Listen to this first, then we'll talk about other things."

"Okay, you say."

Chen Jie looked at Li Siqi.

Li Siqi said, "Peng Yingyu is with you, isn't she?"

Chen Jie nodded slightly, and Li Siqi said, "Ahem, I'll use the Overlord Blade Technique to ask you to pass on a message to him. Tell him that I want to have my youngest son become his disciple and a Buddhist monk. Ask him if he's willing to give his old friend some face."

Chen Jie frowned.

This plan is feasible. The Overlord Blade Technique should be considered a top-tier martial art. Judging from Li Siqi's performance, its power should be on par with Han Shantong's Qiankun Great Art, far surpassing the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Capture.

Back in the Dragon Vein outside the pass, Li Siqi used this sword technique to kill four powerful opponents of the same level, earning him the title of the First Sword God.

Such a technique is indeed a treasure, and the exchange is not much. It's just to pass on a message to Peng Yingyu, which is acceptable, since it's still uncertain whether Peng Yingyu will agree to take his son as a disciple.

Even if they really accept him, they can rest assured that his son is in Peng Yingyu's hands. After all, what kind of person is Master Peng? What kind of trouble can Li Siqi's son cause in his hands?

Although it is said that if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze, once I have pacified the world and unified the four seas, the fate will be set, and it will not be something that one or two people can decide. Besides, his father, Li Siqi, was already his defeated opponent, so how could his son be more powerful than his father?

Thinking it over, Chen Jie felt relieved. It wasn't the northern desert, nor the South China Sea; he was afraid of a mere brat right under his nose. What was the point of fighting for the world if he was afraid of such a small fry? His mind raced, and Chen Jie looked at Li Siqi and said, "I can pass this message on to Peng Yingyu, and I can guarantee that if Peng Yingyu is willing to take on a disciple, I will not stop her. However, I cannot guarantee that Peng Yingyu will agree. I am merely passing on a message."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi said, "That's enough, that's enough. A message is more than enough. Peng Yingyu will agree. I've been his enemy for half my life. I know him better than anyone else. He won't refuse."

Chen Jie looked at Li Siqi and said, "You're really quite confident."

Li Siqi looked at him and said, "It's not that I'm confident, but I know Peng Yingyu's character too well. He's born with the heart of a bodhisattva, cough cough..."

As he spoke, Li Siqi coughed violently, then looked at Chen Jie and said, "Whether you agree or not, I don't have long to live."

Chen Jie looked at him and said, "Deal!"

Li Siqi smiled and then said, "Come closer, I'll read the sword manual to you, only once."

Chen Jie went over at this moment, and Li Siqi quietly read the sword manual aloud. Chen Jie listened to the sword manual and secretly memorized it. As he listened, he couldn't help but be amazed by the exquisite sword techniques in it. It was truly a good sword technique.

As Chen Jie thought this to himself, he slowly saw Li Siqi stop breathing, and his voice grew softer and softer. Finally, after he managed to finish reciting the last few words, he stopped breathing altogether.

Sensing that he had lost his life, Chen Jie sighed. A powerful ruler had fallen here. How tragic and lamentable.

Chen Jie stood up and bowed to Li Siqi, a worthy opponent. He then dragged the corpse aside, saying that someone would take care of it later. Only then did he stand up, feeling a sharp pain in his shoulder, but he still got up and looked around.

He was searching for the Tiger Soul Blade, which was the main objective of his trip. Chen Jie had personally experienced the power of that blade. Although Chen Jie did not practice swordsmanship, having this divine weapon in hand would elevate his strength to a higher level.

Therefore, Chen Jie desperately wanted to obtain the Tiger Soul Blade, but after searching around, he could not find it.

Chen Jie frowned. Where did the knife go?
Chen Jie looked around, recalling the life-or-death battle he had just fought with Li Siqi. At that time, he had combined his four senses and used the Autumn Character Technique from the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique, the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation Fist.

At that moment, he threw a punch, which deflected Li Siqi's knife. He then threw another punch at Li Siqi's heart meridian. However, at the instant he hit Li Siqi's heart meridian, he seemed to touch the Tiger Soul Blade in Li Siqi's hand.

The powerful force at that moment sent the Tiger Soul Blade flying.

That was the direction from which the Tiger Soul Blade flew!

Chen Jie's eyes suddenly turned to the bottomless cliff behind Li Siqi. Had the Tiger Soul Blade fallen off the cliff?
Thinking of this, Chen Jie hurriedly went to the cliff and looked down. He saw that the cliff was bottomless and it was pitch black below, so he could not see anything.

Chen Jie carefully observed the cliff, wondering where the bottom was. He frowned slightly. There were two things he needed to do: first, find the Tiger Soul Blade; second, get to the Immortal Venerable's inauguration ceremony in the Human Emperor City.

Logically, Chen Jie should be at the inauguration ceremony to help Heng Qing reclaim what she lost. However, Chen Jie is still obsessed with the Tiger Soul Blade. How could he let such a precious blade slip through his fingers?

I might as well go down and take a look. Maybe I can still get that Tiger Soul Blade. After all, it's the Human Emperor's weapon, a rare and unique weapon in the world. How can I ignore it?

Thinking it over, Chen Jie took out a bandage to stop the bleeding from the wound on his arm, and then climbed down the cliff. Chen Jie wanted to know just how deep the cliff was.

Chen Jie continued climbing down the cliff, for a quarter of an hour, then another quarter of an hour, for nearly half an hour, but he still couldn't see what the bottom of the cliff looked like. Chen Jie frowned deeply.

I don’t know how deep it is down there, but I’ve been climbing for almost half an hour. Even if I start climbing up now, it will probably take another half an hour!
The round trip took an hour, and the battle with Li Siqi had taken some time. If he didn't hurry back, he would miss the Immortal Venerable's inauguration ceremony. If they succeeded in holding the ceremony, he would be in a passive position.

He couldn't let a Tiger Soul Blade interfere with important matters and endanger Heng Qing's life, since one part of the inauguration ceremony involved sacrificing Heng Qing's life to the flag.

Chen Jie looked down at the cliff below, then at the cliff above, his brows furrowed. What to do was a problem; if he made the wrong choice, things could get very serious.

What a difficult choice!
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Jie began to climb. After only a moment's thought, a knife was ultimately no more important than a human life.

This was Chen Jie's final decision. Although the Tiger Soul Blade was very important, Heng Qing had entrusted her with her life. If he were to abandon Heng Qing for the sake of the blade, he would be too heartless.

Chen Jie didn't want to become a petty person who only cared about personal gain.

"call……"

Seeing that Chen Jie finally stopped climbing down, Zhang Shicheng, who was hiding under a rock about 300 meters below Chen Jie, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was in a terrible state. A huge wound had been slashed across his chest, and blood was gushing out. The wound looked as if his chest had been cut open, exposing his internal organs.

He looked terrible, but strangely, something secreted a layer of gel from his wound. It was this gel that protected his internal organs, preventing his intestines from spilling out and saving his life.

He survived, but his condition is extremely poor. His face is deathly pale, clearly due to excessive blood loss, and he didn't actually fall.

Just as Li Siqi slashed him down, he did not fall directly to the bottom of the cliff. Instead, the golden toad used its tongue to stick to the cliff face and hung there.

At the same time, the golden toad secreted a life-saving gel, which helped Zhang Shicheng seal the wound and prevented him from dying directly, thus saving his life.

He then lay on the cliff, intending to wait for Chen Jie and Li Siqi to settle their differences before climbing out to escape and save his life. Unexpectedly, good fortune came his way. While he was lying there, he suddenly felt the earth shake violently, and the next moment he saw a red, flaming sword flying down from the sky.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shicheng's eyes widened in shock. It was the Tiger Soul Sword he had been longing for. Seeing this sword, Zhang Shicheng had only one thought: he had to get his hands on it!
So Zhang Shicheng immediately used the tongue technique of the golden toad to stick the Tiger Soul Blade in mid-air and snatch it into his hand. Even now, Zhang Shicheng still couldn't believe that all of this was real.

He actually got his hands on the Tiger Soul Blade!

Zhang Shicheng was extremely excited, but his current condition was not good, so he remained hidden there. Unexpectedly, after a while, Chen Jiu Si climbed down from above, scaring Zhang Shicheng so much that he could only follow Chen Jie down. Chen Jie wouldn't stop, and Zhang Shicheng dared not stop either! (End of Chapter)
