Free Web NovelChapter 1289: Chapter 437 This Sword is Unmatched in Excellence_3
He indeed has lost!
Refusing to face the failure, there will never be a chance to win back.
Right now, as he lies on the ground, his breath fading, he seems worlds apart from the dazzling Jiang Wang, as if from different realms.
He just watches his opponent as a loser.
This time, he didn’t smile.
He slowly said, "After defeating Wei Yu in Xianyang City, he went to Wu Pass to test his sword. I stopped him by the Wei River and agreed to a duel of equals. Right then and there, he broke through to Inner Mansion and fought with me. I asked him why he had to go through with this..."
You can’t tell whether his ’slow’ speech is because it’s difficult to talk, or because he is serious.
People can never see Qin Zhizhen showing his pain.
Just like a rock facing the fierce currents, ever silent.
He continued to say, "He said that some people climb out of the abyss of despair step by step, always moving forward, and that brilliance illuminated him, so he no longer wanted to retreat."
Qin Zhizhen kept the promise he made before the fight, recounting the battle by the Wei River: "I gave him time, I saw his Sword Array... it indeed was a sword that shone upon heaven and earth."
The guy who almost wanted to change his name to ’Go Down’ actually said he didn’t want to retreat anymore.
The guy who always seemed lazy before him, no matter what glory he achieved, always had an indifferent face, turned out to say "that person’s radiance illuminated me" in front of another.
"What happened next?" Jiang Wang asked. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"He dominated the Wei River with his sword, and I knocked him into the depths of the river," Qin Zhizhen replied, not hiding or embellishing anything about that fight.
"I think he probably didn’t die," Jiang Wang said.
Qin Zhizhen doesn’t seem to intend to enrage Jiang Wang, especially in his current state.
So he said, "Yes, I didn’t kill him."
Jiang Wang looking at him, "I see the fighting desire in your eyes, you probably are not satisfied with today’s battle. If you had come to challenge me at the Outer Building, I would have spared you from death once."
You spared my friend once, and I spare you once.
He said it very calmly, as if stating an inevitable fact.
This tone was exactly the same as that day during the selection trials when he said to Qin Zhizhen, "When I defeat you, then I will ask you."
But after such a glorious victory, no one would doubt his confidence anymore.
As for Qin Zhizhen.
In fact, from the very beginning, he never doubted that confidence.
From the selection trials, opposing each other in strength, intention, and power, he never underestimated Jiang Wang.
Because after witnessing the sword that shone on earth at Xiang Qian, he once said, "To have such killing power just upon entering the Inner Mansion, give you some time, and in the Inner Mansion, you’re qualified to compete for second place."
At that time, Xiang Qian said, "You are qualified to compete for second place now."
He asked, "Who’s first?"
Xiang Qian said, "The person who illuminates the path I follow. The top of the Eastern Region, Jiang Qingyang."
Because of the weight of that sword, he didn’t get angry but instead seriously considered those words, truly regarded the then-unmet Jiang Wang as an opponent. That led to the battle that had started from the selection trials and continued until now.
At this moment, facing this statement from Jiang Wang, he should have been angry.
But somehow, there was no emotion of anger.
For a true powerhouse, this is the scariest thing! It signifies that deep down he also admits, Jiang Wang had the right to bypass him once at the Outer Building!
How could this be?
Qin Zhizhen struggled to find feelings of resentment and dissatisfaction.
Struggling, he said, "If only I had used my full strength from the start..."
He fell silent.
Because at this moment, he suddenly realized.
By the Wei River, that Ancient Flying Sword Inheritor whom he had defeated, at that time, had unleashed a sword strike at him!
This sword surpasses all!

Saw this poem in last night’s Chapter discussion, really liked it.
Just happen to write a line I wasn’t satisfied with... heh heh, quickly used it.
