Chapter 614: Chapter 337: Battling Great True Monarch Profound Nether, Five Corpse Puppets
"You know you don’t believe it."
Seeing this, Qi Chuan was not at all surprised. With a sweep of his hand over the Qiankun Bag, a Jade Bottle appeared in his hand. He removed the Jade Plug and poured out a perfectly round Strong Infant Pill. Immediately, a peculiar fragrance filled the surrounding void.
"Is this... a Tier Four Upper Grade Elixir?"
Looking at the elixir in Qi Chuan’s hand, Great True Monarch Profound Nether was stunned and extremely surprised, because in his perception, it was indeed a recently refined Tier Four Upper Grade Elixir, and it was used to support cultivation.
His throat moved slightly.
Although the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs Saliva was a key item for his Cultivation Method, its greatest subsequent use was to accelerate cultivation speed.
This could be replaced; a Tier Four Upper Grade Elixir could have a similar effect.
"This may not be something you refined; you might have acquired it from somewhere else." However, internally, Great True Monarch Profound Nether was very rational and did not easily trust Qi Chuan.
"If I can prove this is true, would Great True Monarch Profound Nether be willing to trade?" Qi Chuan asked with a smile.
"I might, but my condition is... five batches of Tier Four Upper Grade Elixirs." After pondering for a moment, Great True Monarch Profound Nether held up five fingers.
"Five batches?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan raised his eyebrow slightly.
This was clearly asking for too much.
A Tier Four Upper Grade Alchemist could not be so cheap.
One batch of Tier Four Upper Grade Elixirs was more appropriate.
"It seems Great True Monarch Profound Nether doesn’t really intend to sell." Qi Chuan flipped his hand, putting away both the elixir and the Jade Bottle.
"Agree or not, it’s up to you," Great True Monarch Profound Nether shrugged indifferently, glancing at Qi Chuan’s Qiankun Bag: "However, if you intend to sell the type of elixir you just showed, I can buy it, but not using the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs Saliva."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan laughed.
He had seen through it.
Essentially, this Great True Monarch Profound Nether didn’t think his strength was sufficient to negotiate with the other party.
"Let’s not talk about trading for now; I came here today with another request, hoping Great True Monarch Profound Nether would agree." Qi Chuan said with a smile.
"Another request? What is it?" Great True Monarch Profound Nether furrowed his brows again, feeling that Qi Chuan was being a bit persistent.
"I wish to have a sparring match, to receive some guidance from Great True Monarch Profound Nether!" Qi Chuan looked directly at Great True Monarch Profound Nether and said slowly.
"Hmm?"
Great True Monarch Profound Nether originally thought it was another request related to purchasing the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs Saliva, but Qi Chuan’s sudden change in request caught him by surprise.
He understood the underlying meaning.
This wasn’t a normal sparring match.
Clearly, it was about showing strength before negotiating demands.
However, he thought that Qi Chuan was mistaken.
If Qi Chuan’s strength was higher than his, then it would be agreeable, as this approach would work.
But Qi Chuan was a newly promoted Great True Monarch; before actual combat, it was fine, but once they engaged, what advantage would Qi Chuan have in front of him? Naturally, there would be no advantage in negotiation.
"Are you sure?"
Great True Monarch Profound Nether eyed Qi Chuan oddly, wondering if someone was coming to seek abuse?
"Of course, but if Great True Monarch Profound Nether has any fear, then forget it. You can refuse," Qi Chuan said.
Great True Monarch Profound Nether’s mouth twitched: "No need to provoke me with tricks; I do not fear a newly promoted Great True Monarch."
"However, I also have one condition."
"What is it?"
"If you lose, you must sell me that Tier Four Upper Grade Elixir at its normal price."
"Agreed. But what if you lose?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"I cannot lose."
"I cannot lose."
"What if you do?"
"If I lose, then selling the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs Saliva to you wouldn’t matter."
"Deal!"
Qi Chuan was waiting for this moment.
He gave Great True Monarch Profound Nether a deep look, then with a movement, transformed into an Escape Light and soared into the sky.
Seeing this, Great True Monarch Profound Nether chuckled lightly.
It seemed Qi Chuan had been waiting for this moment for some time.
Unfortunately, the outcome might disappoint him.
With a light chuckle, Great True Monarch Profound Nether also moved, transforming into an Escape Light, leaving the mountain gate in pursuit of Qi Chuan.
Inside the gates of Profound Nether Cave, many disciples and elders of the Profound Nether Cave raised their heads, watching the two Escape Lights disappear above the white clouds, stirring many waves in their hearts. This was a clash at the Great True Monarch level, and one of them was their own Profound Nether Supreme Elder.
The other was a newly minted Great True Monarch in the flesh.
Such duels between Great True Monarchs were exceedingly dangerous.
Yet nearly all disciples and elders were not worried about the outcome of this matter.
For they believed that even if a newly minted Great True Monarch was strong, they wouldn’t be a match for their own Profound Nether Supreme Elder.
The surrounding space floated with clouds and mist.
Qi Chuan opened his mouth slightly, and a streak of ghostly blue light flew out, transforming into a ghostly blue Flying Sword in his hand. He then locked his gaze on the Great True Monarch Profound Nether in the opposing void.
"Is this artifact at the Tier Four Upper Grade level?"
Great True Monarch Profound Nether’s eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the Sea-Suppressing Sword in Qi Chuan’s hand.
He could sense that the quality of this artifact was quite extraordinary.
"Having recently broken through, possessing a Tier Four Upper Grade artifact is impressive. It seems this is the source of your confidence."
Great True Monarch Profound Nether said, "However, no matter how excellent an artifact is, without Cultivation and Nascent Soul foundation, it cannot unleash its full power."
"To think you can gain an advantage over me with this, you might be overthinking things."
"Whether an advantage can be gained will be known only after actual combat." Qi Chuan smiled at Great True Monarch Profound Nether.
Great True Monarch Profound Nether nodded lightly: "You speak correctly."
As he finished speaking, he extended his hand and tapped the Corpse Puppet Bag at his waist.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The sound of something slicing through the air echoed.
From inside the Corpse Puppet Bag, five streaks of black light flew out, appearing in the void and transforming into five corpse puppets, each unique.
Among them were three human corpses, two males and one female.
Two demon corpses, one a snake and the other a dog.
Among the human corpses, the two males had reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivation in life, while the female was at Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivation.
Of the demon corpses, the snake had once been a Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beast, and the dog a Tier Four Lower Grade Demon Beast.
The five corpse puppets, despite differing in race, gender, height, build, tonality, all shared the same bluish complexion, protruding fangs, with black spurs growing from their elbows and heads, appearing fierce and evil, exuding deathly energy.
Invisibly, there seemed to be a force linking their auras and actions.
Although none of these corpse puppets alone reached the Great True Monarch level, under the cooperation of this invisible linkage, their movements possessed collaborative strength, barely capable of battling a Great True Monarch.
With the corpse puppets’ attributes, their bodies hard as iron, difficult to destroy, unfearing of injury, and undaunted by death, they were exceptionally challenging to kill.
If bitten by a corpse puppet, the threat of corpse poison entering the body added to their menace.
Especially with another Great True Monarch, with a Nascent Soul height between seven inches three to seven inches five, watching greedily—an average Great True Monarch would find it exceedingly difficult to deal with. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Much less a newly promoted Quasi-Great True Monarch.
After summoning the corpse puppets, Great True Monarch Profound Nether looked at them with a hint of satisfaction, feeling a bit assured.
In his view, these five corpse puppets were the kind of profound foundation means that Qi Chuan, as a newly promoted Great True Monarch, couldn’t possibly possess.
This wasn’t something ordinary artifacts could compare to; these five corpse puppets genuinely had a semblance of autonomous combat capability.
"Go!"
Great True Monarch Profound Nether directed his gaze forward and pointed at Qi Chuan.
"Roar..."
"Roar..."
Instantly, these corpse puppets unleashed harsh, raspy growls, and their figures moved, charging forward in Qi Chuan’s direction to fight.
