Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System

Chapter 422: Chapter 197: Martial Arts Inheritance, Blood Feud

The man in black sensed the danger.

He threw the Flying Knife in his hand, but it couldn’t stop the piercing Spear Intent. In that critical moment, he drew a Soft Sword from his waist.

A Sword Shadow Gang Shield formed in front of him.

Chu Lingguang’s brow furrowed. This Sword Technique felt somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

After that brief exchange, he successfully closed the distance to his opponent. With a threefold Potential Energy Superposition, he unleashed the sixth level of power from his Flying Leaf Lotus Spear—Swallow—and sent it surging toward the other man.

The man in black felt as if all the stars in the night sky had vanished, replaced by endless darkness in every direction. By the time he broke through that layer of darkness, the force of the threefold Potential Energy Superposition was rushing toward him. He slashed his sword three times in quick succession, unleashing Qi Sea and Primitive Power from its blade, barely managing to block the terrifying superimposed potential energy.

But before he could even catch his breath, a more terrifying Spear Intent Fluctuation washed over him. This time, no matter how fast his Sword Technique was, he couldn’t neutralize all the Spear Intent Fragments. He felt as if an iron clamp had locked onto his arm, and the speed of his sword work plummeted.

"Die!"

Chu Lingguang roared, condensing his Spear Intent into a piercing spear glint that shot toward his opponent’s heart.

"Chu Lingguang, it’s me..."

the man in black cried out in a panic.

The strange fluctuation that had been concealing his aura vanished.

Chu Lingguang saw that it was actually Xuanyuan Jinkang.

’Why is this guy trying to kill me?’

’Eunuch Liu came to save him, after all.’

In that split second, Chu Lingguang couldn’t think too much. He failed to completely retract the sharp edge of his Spear Intent and could only shift it upward slightly. In the end, the Spear Intent Fluctuation pierced through Xuanyuan Jinkang’s shoulder.

Chu Lingguang followed up with a kick to his chest.

"PFFT!"

Xuanyuan Jinkang spat out a large mouthful of blood, clearly heavily injured—much more severely than Chu Lingguang had been that day.

"How could it be you? Why are you trying to kill me?"

Chu Lingguang demanded angrily, the tip of his Long Spear pointed at Xuanyuan Jinkang’s throat.

"I... Hmph! It’s all because of that dead eunuch! He already has me as an apprentice, so why does he still care so much about you? The moment he heard you were in danger, he ran all the way over here, leaving me all alone in South City! How am I any worse than you?!"

Finding no other excuse, Xuanyuan Jinkang lashed out angrily.

"You... Shut your mouth."

The two words "dead eunuch" were too grating for Chu Lingguang to hear, even though he had secretly cursed Eunuch Liu a few times himself, and had done so many times with Hei Hu.

But Eunuch Liu had rushed a thousand li to save him. That debt of gratitude was too heavy. How could Chu Lingguang let someone insult Eunuch Liu, especially Xuanyuan Jinkang?

The Great Yuan Dynasty revered its teachers and valued their teachings.

An act like Xuanyuan Jinkang’s was treasonous and utterly immoral.

Furious, Chu Lingguang sent him flying with a flick of his spear. freēwebnovel.com

"Kill me or cut me to pieces, do whatever you want. I have nothing to say now that I’ve fallen into your hands." freёwebnovel.com

Xuanyuan Jinkang said angrily, lying on the ground.

’He never expected to lose so miserably.’

’His Flying Knives were his specialty!’

’Chu Lingguang had blocked his surprise attack, and then easily countered his Sword Technique. That terrifying Spear Intent Fluctuation, in particular, had made his jaw drop. If he had known Chu Lingguang was this strong, he never would have come to kill him.’

"Eunuch Liu has shown me kindness. Whether you live or die is for him to decide."

If Eunuch Liu hadn’t come tonight, Chu Lingguang would have, without hesitation, scrambled Xuanyuan Jinkang’s internal organs with his spear and disposed of the body.

But this guy was Eunuch Liu’s apprentice, and his actions were born from jealousy over the eunuch’s favor. It put Chu Lingguang in a truly difficult position.

He could only hand him over to Eunuch Liu for judgment. He trusted that Eunuch Liu would ensure justice was served.

「Back at the Martial Arts Hall.」

Guo Wei was single-handedly fighting two True Martial Realm experts. Wielding his Flying Leaf Lotus Spear, he was somehow managing to block their attacks, but it was clearly a struggle.

The two of them couldn’t defeat him, but he couldn’t defeat them either.

When Eunuch Liu arrived and called out that Chu Lingguang was fine, Guo Wei’s Spear Technique became like an unbridled wild horse. He had been worried about Chu Lingguang and trying to break through the whole time. Now that Chu Lingguang was safe, he could focus all his energy on his two opponents, especially with Eunuch Liu joining the fray.

"It has been a long time since I have stretched my old bones."

Eunuch Liu charged toward Black Ghost.

He had previously used his Soft and Flexible Technique to force Black Ghost out of the darkness and prevent him from launching a sneak attack on Guo Wei. Now, engaged with Black Ghost, Eunuch Liu quickly gained the upper hand.

Seeing this, Shadow and Black Ghost knew the tide had turned and tried to retreat.

Otherwise, once Mr. Du’s men arrived, the two of them would surely die.

A fragrant scent suddenly filled the air.

"Damn it, it’s Celestial Fragrance Powder."

Eunuch Liu cried out in alarm.

He quickly put distance between himself and Black Ghost.

Black Ghost gave a sinister smile and tried to flee.

"The antidote!"

Eunuch Liu snarled, his power surging over Black Ghost. Unable to break free, Black Ghost fought back with all his might.

"You’re courting death!"

Enraged, Eunuch Liu unleashed his full power, shattering Black Ghost’s defenses with a single palm strike. He pressed his palm firmly against his opponent’s chest and pulverized his internal organs.

But he too was now bathed in the fragrance, and he anxiously scrambled into the Martial Arts Hall.

"The washroom is on the left."

Guo Wei shouted.

Eunuch Liu plunged headfirst into the washroom and submerged himself in a water vat. He activated his Qi Sea Power, and the water in the vat soon began to bubble furiously.

"AHHHH!"

Eunuch Liu screamed like a banshee as he scrambled into another water vat. Soon, every vat in the washroom had bubbled over, and a fragrant scent lingered on the surface of the water in each one.

"BOOM!"

Eunuch Liu burst out of the washroom.

"CRACK!"

Guo Wei broke Shadow’s bones with his spear. Then, a dozen or so spear shadows stabbed Shadow until he looked like a hornet’s nest.

Shadow stared in disbelief as his black soft armor was torn to shreds by a white tiger claw.

"There’s a small river three li to the north."
