Free Web NovelChapter 2214: Chapter 2311: Don’t Blame Me (Second Update)
However, as soon as she spoke, Xue Chi’s expression darkened.
In Xue Chi’s view, Shee Mi would undoubtedly become his fiancée, and here she was, speaking up for another man—this man who was his mortal enemy...
He was very unhappy.
Shee Ju could only let out a bitter laugh, thinking that the young lady shouldn’t have spoken.
Impulse got the better of her.
The young lady is still so innocent!
Shee Ju noticed the darkness in Xue Chi’s expression and sighed a little.
However, since the young lady had already spoken, no one’s face could be disregarded, especially not hers, and especially not in front of so many martial cultivators.
Therefore, Shee Ju’s silence signified consent.
Now, even if Su Chen truly left the second layer, he wouldn’t intervene.
However.
What no one expected was...
"I’m still waiting to become the Saintess’s man," Su Chen said with a smile.
He refused.
He actually refused.
Even after Shee Mi spoke on his behalf, breaking the rules for him.
He actually refused?
Not only did he refuse, but he also uttered such audacious words.
Shee Mi’s face turned red with anger; she wanted to curse. She was being kind, not wanting to see Su Chen die miserably, but unexpectedly...
He was ungrateful, truly ungrateful.
This damned bastard.
He deserved to die.
The billions of martial cultivators present wore complex expressions.
They were utterly speechless toward Su Chen.
Suddenly, they felt that Su Chen being targeted by Xue Chi was well deserved.
A boy who didn’t know what was good for him, who didn’t know his place, he deserved to die.
"Let’s begin," said Shee Ju promptly, not wanting to waste any more time, afraid of what might happen next.
The draw and contest on the stage began.
First were number 1 and number 40.
Not much to see, both were at the early stage of the ninth level of the Divine Lord Realm.
The battle was lively.
Unfortunately, everyone was eagerly waiting for Shee Jiufeng, Su Chen, Xue Chi, Bi Qu, Huang Fu, and others; how could they be interested in a duel between two martial cultivators at the ninth level of the Divine Lord Realm?
Numbers 1 and 40 fought for hundreds of breaths before it ended.
The martial cultivator number 1 won.
It was a narrow victory, and he was injured too.
Then came numbers 2 and 39, numbers 3 and 38, numbers 4 and 37—all not very interesting.
Until number 5 and 36.
The atmosphere in the Martial Arts Arena became a bit heated.
Because number 5 was Mu Su.
Mu Su was ranked tenth on the Ascension List and was a renowned super genius, naturally worth watching.
Number 36 was a martial cultivator at the middle stage of the Divine Lord Realm, ranked in the twenties on the Ascension List. In fact, not bad, but unfortunately, he had bad luck and directly faced Mu Su.
That number 36 knew his place and initiated the attack without any concealment right from the start, executing his strongest technique.
Unfortunately.
The gap in strength was too large. Mu Su defeated number 36 with just three moves, and it seemed that Mu Su hadn’t even used his full strength.
After the battle between number 5 Mu Su and number 36, several more uninterested duels followed.
Until number 8 faced number 33.
Number 8, Huang Fu.
Number 33, Dou Xing.
This was definitely a focal battle.
Huang Fu was ranked fifth on the Ascension List, an unparalleled prodigy!!!
He had always suppressed Xue Chi, and with absolute dominance.
Dou Xing, ranked ninth on the Ascension List, was certainly a super genius too. Although slightly inferior to Huang Fu, he could not be underestimated.
Both were top 10 on the Ascension List. Naturally, their duel was spectacular.
Especially Huang Fu, with his half-step realm master boundary strength showcased to its fullest extent—extremely powerful, fierce and domineering in every technique, chilling to see, leaving a deep impression.
Dou Xing remained on the defense, almost being beaten badly, yet he showed great tenacity. Facing Huang Fu, stronger than himself, he remarkably lasted 47 moves before losing—a true testament to his skills.
Their duel was lively and colorful, generating rounds of applause and cheers, pushing the atmosphere in the Martial Arts Arena to a small climax.
Even Shee Tianshi, watching from the shadows, nodded with satisfaction, showing appreciation for Huang Fu and Dou Xing.
Ultimately, Huang Fu won, though not without difficulty.
After the battle between Dou Xing and Huang Fu, numbers 9 against 32 were boring, as were numbers 10 against 31.
Ending hurriedly afterward.
"Number 11 against 30."
As Shee Ju announced aloud.
Almost all the martial cultivators in the Martial Arts Arena straightened their expressions, feeling a bit excited.
Number 11, Su Chen.
Number 30, Chen You.
This was a highly, highly, highly anticipated battle.
Because, present here, apart from a few like Ying Jin, Xue Hanyue, Ye Zhi, others didn’t know Su Chen’s strength; they only regarded Su Chen as an ordinary half-step divine master boundary, so from start to finish, Su Chen was like a joke to them.
Among all these martial cultivators at the ninth level of the Divine Lord Realm, half-step realm master, and even domain master realm, Su Chen, who was not even in the divine lord realm, stood out particularly.
Everyone knew that Su Chen facing any opponent would result in a brutal defeat, even death.
Yet they were eager to see Su Chen engage in battle.
It was interesting, wasn’t it?
Especially since earlier, Xue Chi had implored Chen You to kill Su Chen, to torture Su Chen to the point of wishing for death before actually killing him.
This definitely promised added excitement.
A battle with a predetermined outcome, yet with other exciting elements to look forward to!
"Kid, don’t blame me," Chen You stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Su Chen, filled with excitement, oh, and intense killing intent. He had a single thought in mind—he needed to hold back a bit; otherwise, what if he accidentally killed Su Chen before torturing him?
Chen You was now most worried that a slight move on his part might kill Su Chen.
After all, he wasn’t even in the Divine Lord Realm—too fragile!
"You make the first move," Chen You thought it over and decided to let Su Chen attack first, to gauge just how weak Su Chen really was, and then decide how much force to use in the subsequent attack.
He went to great lengths to torment Su Chen for as long as possible, instead of killing him too easily.
This task wasn’t easy!
It’s like a human surgeon wielding a scalpel, attempting to dissect an ant—challenging! Not because the ant is too strong, but because it’s so weak—it can’t withstand dissection!
Su Chen nodded slightly.
At the same time.
In the Martial Arts Arena, the playful voices began to sound:
"Guess how many moves that kid who isn’t at the Divine Lord Realm can endure?"
"How long he lasts depends on Chen You’s intentions."
"Whether the kid can even scratch Chen You."
"It’s commendable—he’s not at the Divine Lord Realm, yet he stands before Chen You, impressive."
.........
Amid these playful exchanges, Su Chen made his move.
To be precise, the illusion crystal moved.
Confronting someone as weak as Chen You, Su Chen honestly had no interest in engaging in combat.
He wanted a quick resolution.
Using the illusion crystal to eliminate was a good choice.
