Elder Qin’s blade lunged once more at Chen Jie.
A fierce cut sliced across, and Chen Jie’s arm suffered immediate injury from the sword, leaving yet another mark on his flesh.
Gazing upon the injury, Chen Jie’s eyes narrowed a bit while fixing on Elder Qin. Right then, Elder Qin appeared to sense Chen Jie’s inner workings and remarked, “Are you afraid now?”
Chen Jie’s chest constricted, with hints of bewilderment flashing in his gaze. What sort of force was at play here, restraining him and hampering his speed?
Chen Jie mulled it over, yet remained quiet.
Elder Qin bellowed next, “The fight continues—behold the sword!”
Following his words, yet another straightforward sword strike came. It lacked speed, but Chen Jie experienced that restraining feeling anew.
Deeply baffled, Chen Jie glanced upward abruptly, and there it was. Within Elder Qi’s Martial Arts Void Heart, the elderly chess player lifted his hand, dropping a piece on the board, unleashing a mighty Gang Qi that pinned Chen Jie in place.
The feeling, much like sinking into a quagmire, led Chen Jie to grasp right away that Elder Qi was behind it.
He had jumped to conclusions too soon upon spotting Elder Qi with a sword, assuming him to be a blade master. In truth, that wasn’t the case; Elder Qi served as a supporter wielding helpful arts.
Together, Elder Qin and Elder Qi formed a deadly pair, where Elder Qin handled the strikes to end foes, while Elder Qi used his remarkable Martial Arts Illusion to hold enemies down.
Had Chen Jie faltered just a touch before, Elder Qin could have finished him off.
Thus, in the duo of Elder Qin and Elder Qi, the true powerhouse wasn’t Elder Qin—it was Elder Qi.
Chen Jie grasped this principle, similar to gameplay where the bowman claims victories, not always from personal might, but thanks to a solid supporter.
Elder Qi truly shone as that powerful ally.
Now, Elder Qi bound Chen Jie’s actions once again. As Chen Jie’s eyes sharpened upon seeing Elder Qin’s incoming sword, thoughts raced through his head, quickly arriving at a decision: To overcome the pair, take out Elder Qi first, then dispatch Elder Qin.
That path alone would secure triumph.
Target the supporter initially.
With his strategy locked in, Chen Jie’s gaze brimmed with unrelenting murderous resolve.
In this instant, facing Elder Qin’s advance, Chen Jie chose not to fall back but to strike back fiercely.
Elder Qin froze in surprise, a hint of scorn crossing his features. This fool who misread the battlefield still dared to rush ahead—fine by him.
Right then, Elder Qin called out, “Junior brother!”
Elder Qi caught on, releasing every bit of his Gang Qi in that moment; instantly, the celestial chess figure hoisted his hand to lay down a piece.
Elder Qin grabbed the chance, planning for Elder Qi to lock Chen Jie down precisely when Sun Jian stepped in, allowing him to drive his sword across Chen Jie’s neck and seal the deed.
Yet Chen Jie detected Elder Qin’s Sword Force and discerned the scheme. Still, he held his counterplan, employing the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms straightaway to challenge Elder Qin.
All the while, the clash between Chen Jie and Elders Qin and Qi intensified to a boiling point, set for clashing weapons and flowing blood.
From her hidden spot nearby, the plain-looking girl’s eyes wavered, before she slipped away silently, merging slowly with the onlookers until she disappeared entirely.
Oh, Chen Jiusi, handle it on your own. When I see grandfather, I’ll put in a good word for you.
Goodbye~
The plain-looking girl slipped off into the distance unnoticed.
At the same time, Chen Jie and Elder Qin caught her subtle escape, but with their showdown on the brink of settling fates, they couldn’t spare her a thought.
Now, Chen Jie and Elder Qin collided in the sky, with Chen Jie launching a palm strike at Elder Qin.
Elder Qin’s sword quivered faintly, his stare brimming with lethal intent as he yelled, “Now! Halt him!”
Upon saying so, Elder Qin drove his blade straight for Chen Jie’s throat.
