Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

A black shadow rushed toward the Merits Record Wall.

“Not that easy.”

Zhang Ruochen released tremendous sword intent from his body, and he dashed toward that shadow like a trace of sword light.

That shadow was already right beside the Merits Record Wall. He immediately withdrew his hand as he saw the sword light going against him.

Walla!

Hundreds of fierce sword Qi were formed in front of the palm print, forming sword rain.

Boom!

After a blast, all the sword Qi crumbled.

Zhang Ruochen and that black shadow both took a couple steps back before they balanced themselves again. That black shadow was Sword Saint Jiuyou.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t surprised to see Sword Saint Jiuyou. After all, he was the only sword warrior in Zuling Field that was able to defeat Demonic Sound with one strike.

After becoming a saint king, Sword Saint Jiuyou’s life expectancy surged, and he looked a bit younger than before. His hair turned dark again while freckles disappeared. His face was also less wrinkled, which made him look like a fifty-year-old.

Sword Saint Jiuyou was dazed that Zhang Ruochen managed to ward him off with one strike. “How great it is that Xuanji managed to have an incredible disciple like you. I can’t compare with him on that.”

“Indeed. My master is greater than you,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Sword Saint Jiuyou said, “That only means he’s luckier than me. Unfortunately, I’m better at sword way than him.”

“I don’t think so,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Sword Saint Jiuyou belonged to Black Market while Sword Saint Xuanji belonged to Martial Market Bank. They’d been mortal enemies against each other, and neither of them actually had prevailed, until the Sword Technique Conference.

However, Sword Saint Xuanji was poisoned by Blood Poison of Pluto, so that battle shouldn’t count, yet Sword Saint Jiuyou didn’t know about that and still thought he was stronger than Sword Saint Xuanji.

Sword Saint Jiuyou said, “You’re a proud disciple of Sword Saint Xuanji. I know you don’t want to admit it, but I indeed defeated Xuanji during the conference. You can’t possibly argue against that.”

“You didn’t defeat my master. He defeated himself,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“What do you mean?” Sword Saint Jiuyou asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “My master was a soft guy in the past. He saved a child from the immortal vampire and cultivated him. Unfortunately, he was poisoned by his disciple right before the battle against you, otherwise, you couldn’t have defeated my master that easily.”

Sword Saint Jiuyou stayed silent for a while, then he laughed. “You just made the story up and blamed someone else for his defeat to defend your master’s honor. It’s such a cheap shot. I’ve been alive for more than five hundred years, so I’ve seen things like this many times. It doesn’t matter what you say, because nothing’s going to change the fact that I’m better at sword way than Xuanji.”

Zhang Ruochen suddenly looked cold and said, “Do you dare accept my challenge since you’re so confident?”

“What do you mean? You want to restore your master’s name?”

Sword Saint Jiuyou loved to flaunt his power, but he was also a deep one. He said that because he wanted to anger Zhang Ruochen.

When someone’s mind was messed up, his power would also decline.

“You’re just a kid who’s not qualified to challenge me.” Sword Saint Jiuyou smiled and raise up his chin.

“I’ll give you the Merits Record Wall if you can defeat me.” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes gleamed fiercely as if he had to fight.

Sword Saint Jiuyou’s eyes blinked, and he said, “Really?”

Zhang Ruochen said, “I swear it, in the name of my master.”

“Okay. I’ll give you a chance to defend your master’s honor.” Sword Saint Jiuyou smiled.

Sword Saint Jiuyou thought that he had angered Zhang Ruochen and made him panic as Zhang Ruochen was willing to offer the Merits Record Wall.

However, the player saw less clearly than the bystander.

Saint Lady kept shaking her head and frowned. She said, “Zhang Ruochen is completely different now.”

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t actually infuriated by Sword Saint Jiuyou. Instead, he had to resort to challenging Sword Saint Jiuyou using the Merits Record Wall as leverage.

Chu Siyuan, Sword Saint Jiuyou and Nine Heavenly Maiden were all powerful beings.

Sword Saint Jiuyou was almost undefeatable in close combat, and Chu Siyuan was extraordinary at distant battle and defense. As for the Nine Heavenly Maidens, they had lots of real treasures like Saint Book Ruzu, the Kitchen Knife of G.o.d of Food and the G.o.dly Palace.
