Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

"What are we betting on?"

Wang Mang was starting to have some doubts.

I always felt that Su Chen was a different person.

Some even suspected that Su Chen had been possessed.

"You wanted to fight me, didn't you?"

"Uncle-Master, I'll give you this chance..."

"If you can defeat me, I will leave the sect on my own initiative."

"The position of true successor is naturally yours."

"What if you lose..."

"From now on, whatever I say, Uncle-Master, shall be law."

Su Chen chuckled softly at that moment.

Wang Mang stared at Su Chen, remaining silent for a moment.

There must be some reason behind Su Chen's drastic change in temperament.

Looking at Su Chen, who was staring at him with such confidence.

I do feel a little unsure of myself.

But then I thought about it again.

impossible!

The difference in cultivation level between himself and Su Chen was like an insurmountable chasm!

No matter how I think about it, I can't possibly lose to Su Chen.

"very good."

"Since that's the case, why don't we swear an oath of faith?"

"So that no one can't afford to lose..."

Wang Mang sneered.

"what ever."

Su Chen sneered.

...

The so-called oath of the Dao heart is the most poisonous oath in the cultivation world.

Those who break their oath will have their Dao heart shattered, their cultivation will never advance again, and they will be completely cut off from the path of immortality.

Living, I'm just an ordinary person.

In the world of cultivation, such a vow is tantamount to death.

Immediately afterwards, two beams of spiritual light shot into the space between their eyebrows.

Take the oath!

The inner disciples that Wang Mang brought with him exchanged glances upon seeing this.

"This disciple's cultivation has recently skyrocketed, and he's really stealing the spotlight."

"Even so, it's absolutely impossible to surpass Senior Brother Wang Mang!"

"Who doesn't know how this true teaching improves one's cultivation?"

"Wasn't it because he cultivated with Wang Yuyan and absorbed the extreme yin energy..."

"These unorthodox methods are simply no match for Senior Brother Wang's orthodox cultivation."

"You brought this on yourself..."

Several people chuckled.

Chen Shiqiang listened from the side, his brows furrowed.

That's right!

It's too late to say anything now.

If Su Chen loses, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid being implicated.

After all, everyone now thinks of themselves as Su Chen's follower.

But what if I were to side with Wang Mang, my senior brother, right now?

I absolutely cannot take that step.

Wouldn't that make me a truly shameless scoundrel?

The true master just saved my life!

...

At this moment, Wang Mang made his move.

They weren't going to give Su Chen any chance to play any tricks.

He immediately mobilized all his spiritual energy!

He directly unleashed the Thunderous Qi-Drawing Technique.

He immediately used a technique that suppressed the opponent's cultivation level.

Use all your strength directly.

Even if you, Su Chen, have any tricks up your sleeve, you won't be able to pull them off!

A bolt of lightning shot through the sword in his hand, instantly engulfing the entire area.

The other disciples standing nearby were dumbfounded.

This Senior Brother Wang is really going all out! The two are clearly so different in cultivation level, yet Wang Mang is still being so cautious.

He was prepared to kill Su Chen instantly from the start.

In that case, there shouldn't be any suspense.

At that moment, the air in the entire forest seemed to freeze.

The oppressive aura made the surrounding disciples feel a tightness in their chests.

I almost knelt down on the spot.

The spiritual power of a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage is no joke.

Su Chen raised his hand and drew his sword, blocking the pressure of the first sword strike.

A sword aura slashed out while Su Chen was mobilizing his spiritual power.

Su Chen flashed past and appeared there.

At this moment, Su Chen was completely at a disadvantage.

After just two rounds, Su Chen was already struggling to keep up.

He was trapped in place by that thunder magic and could not move.

"Su Chen".

"I don't necessarily want you to die."

"To be honest, I just want to make it clear to you today the difference between us."

"If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I will never kill you."

"after all..."

"I, Wang, also possess the pride that a prodigy of the Luoyun Sect should have."

"Do not kill your fellow disciples!"

At that moment, Wang Mang said something.

At least on the surface.

"Arrogance?"

"Nephew, this has truly surprised me."

Su Chen sneered.

I never fight a battle I'm not confident of winning.

If it weren't for my own mastery of the second move of the Falling Clouds Piercing the Sun Sword Technique...

It seems we'll truly be crushed by Wang Mang today.

But this Luoyun Piercing Sun Sword Technique is indeed the supreme inheritance of the Luoyun Sect.

The original owner couldn't learn this second move even after so many years.

Actually, it was just that his previous cultivation level was too low, and his spiritual power could not support the spiritual power required for the second move.

Furthermore, this sword technique is powerful and domineering.

An ordinary sword would not be able to withstand such strong sword energy; it would probably have shattered long ago.

This is the real reason why Su Chen went into the abyss to retrieve the sword.

With this sword technique, killing enemies of higher levels is a piece of cake.

At this moment, Su Chen was certain that this sword strike was unmatched by anyone below the Nascent Soul stage!

"boom."

A sword aura carrying immense spiritual pressure.

The entire air seemed to tremble.

The next moment, the two sword energies collided.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Mang was directly suppressed by Su Chen's sword energy.

That oppressive aura was terrifying.

Wang Mang was stunned. The power of this sword was comparable to that of his martial uncle Xiao Han.

Before I went into seclusion, Su Chen was very obsequious.

At this moment, he was able to suppress himself with such a huge difference in their cultivation levels.

No matter what kind of inheritance or opportunity one may have, it is absolutely impossible to achieve this without rigorous training.

It seems I underestimated my opponent this time.

Su Chen found it somewhat laughable at that moment.

The original owner had actually been practicing this sword technique diligently for many years.

In fact, the original owner had been far more diligent in cultivation than his fellow disciples over the years.

He clearly possessed such domineering swordsmanship.

Unfortunately, she was timid and had a saintly heart, so she was simply unable to control such a powerful sword technique.

But Su Chen was decisive and ruthless; whenever he drew his sword, it was with overwhelming killing intent.

Wang Mang probably never imagined this...

"I'm telling you, my junior apprentice."

"You said you have integrity, that you don't kill, and that you show mercy."

"I'm not like you."

"I have no pride, nor do I uphold any martial virtues."

"Today, I really wanted to kill you."

"But you just said you wouldn't kill me, so I won't kill you this time either."

"It's a pity there won't be a next time..."

"Now we swear an oath of faith..."

"From now on, if I have any orders from my senior uncle, you must behave yourself."

"Otherwise, your path to immortality will be cut short, and I, your uncle, will truly regret it..."

Su Chen said coldly at that moment.

Wang Mang was so choked up that he felt a discomfort in his chest.

It's not that he can't accept losing.

In a battle between cultivators, anyone could lose.

But he lost to Su Chen, a good-for-nothing he looked down upon...

"I know why you're here."

"If one has the inner core of a late-stage Golden Core spirit beast, the process of forming a Nascent Soul will be twice as effective."

"Actually, I was too lazy to care about this."

"but..."

"After you came out of the pass, you treated me like a thorn in your side and made things difficult for me at every turn."

"I, your martial uncle, am a man who holds grudges and seeks revenge!"

Upon hearing this...

Wang Mang was completely dumbfounded.

Now he understood one thing: Su Chen was truly a terrifying person.

Could it be that Su Chen was hiding his true abilities all those years ago?

Their cunning and ruthlessness surpassed even his own!

All my previous plans had been seen through by Su Chen...
