Chapter Thirty-Nine: Good Sword

  The fourth update is done, great job!!!

  At the last moment of the trial, if Fang Hongjin's subordinates had not shown mercy but instead pressed step by step, Zhang Chong would have fallen out of the trial arena and lost his qualification for promotion.

  Moreover, looking at Zhang Chong's performance in the competition, apart from his decent footwork, his attacking methods were almost non-existent except for using paper talismans. As a result, many people have directly labeled him as a rich man.

  It's just like taking dan medicine to upgrade, relying on paper symbols to win against others, it's not only a waste of money, but also an unglorious thing.

  However, Zhang Chong didn't care about these at all. At this moment, he was still working hard to refine the [Golden Armor Symbol].

  The next match is two days later, so everyone also has enough time to prepare.

  Zhang Chong soon found out that his next opponent was actually Li Weili, who had competed with Liu Sheng in the same arena.

  Li Weili in that war, relying on his unique attack means, in the number of people defeated, far exceeded Liu Sheng, and also satisfied the eyes.

  He and Zhang Chong's contest, everyone was overwhelmingly in support of Li Weiyi.

  In the demon realm, an underground casino was secretly set up, and even the odds of winning or losing couldn't be opened. In the end, the only bet that could be made was how long Zhang Chong could last.

  The vast majority of people bet within thirty seconds.

  On the martial arts arena, Li Wei's slender figure stood upright against the wind. His narrow eyes gazed at Zhang Chong and said faintly,

  "You're at the Refining Body level, so let's have you pull out your Magic Guard first."

  Zhang Chong didn't mind, being able to take the initiative was a good thing, but to be honest, the advantage he gained this time wasn't as great as it was in the first round.

  Because his trump card was hidden in the paper symbols on his body, and [Heart-Devouring Stick], hadn't been used at all during the first match.

  But at this moment, he couldn't take out a handful of paper talismans either. So he took out the Devouring Heart Stick instead.

  As soon as Li Weiyi saw Zhang Chong's Magic Guard, his eyes narrowed and he smiled slightly.

  "It turns out that the route is still similar ～～" His demonic body was called Xiāo Hún, and he walked a yin-yang route, unlike Liu Sheng or Fang Hongjin's power supremacy, but rather had a knack for controlling people's minds. The "Xiāo Xīn Bàng" also mainly targeted spiritual attacks on humans, with physical attacks not being the primary focus.

  If the paths of cultivation are similar, then there is no such thing as mutual generation and restraint, but rather who has stronger strength will gain the upper hand.

  Everyone has seen Li Weili's strength, and in the last trial, Zhang Chong threw out the [Golden Armor Symbol] in such a dangerous situation, but did not use this [Heart-Devouring Cudgel]. It can be inferred that he does not have too much confidence in his own attainments on this path.

  As soon as the weapon was drawn, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the outcome had already been decided.

  "You and I were strangers from the start, originally I just wanted to win." Li Weiwei said softly, her long sword slowly being drawn out.

  "It's just that you had previously offended one of my friends, Liu Qingxue, so I'll have to take revenge for her here, which means I've also offended you."

  After saying this, his long sword also came out of its scabbard, emitting a soft hum, and the sword body flashed with silver light, reflecting his dazed eyes into Zhang Chong's eyes.

  Zhang Chongshun looked into Li Weiyi's eyes, and saw that his eyes were shining with a color like mist and illusion, different from the black and white colors before. It gave people a strange feeling, as if there was a labyrinth hidden in his eyes.

  Li Weili's long sword was lightly changing directions in front of her chest, her figure fluttering, treading on several directions, and slowly walking towards Zhang Chong.

  Zhang looked at his gait, walking with a swaying body shape, completely unlike the way a man walks, how strange is that.

  Just then, Li Weili spoke up again.

  "This sword has been with me for many years, it's an invaluable sharp weapon. If you like it, come closer to it. Put away that thing in your hand."

  The war is imminent, how can you talk about such boring nonsense? Zhang Chong's heart was full of doubts, but letting him put away the Devouring Heart Stick, he was also extremely willing.

  "Devouring Heart Stick", same route. Looking at Li Weiwu's strange posture, and thinking of what he said before, Zhang Chong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, he thought to himself...

  "Could it be that the move Li Weiyi is using right now is actually controlling his mind? If so, why wouldn't he have any reaction at all?"

  However, this battle was indeed strange. Zhang Chong's mind quickly turned around and decided to probe, so he pretended to be calm and lightly said "Hmm", the Devouring Heart Rod in his hand suddenly withdrew into his body.

  And he himself also slowly stepped forward towards Li Weili.

  "Finally arrived~~~" Li Weiyi's heart was secretly delighted, but his face remained expressionless, and he said calmly.

  "Is this a good sword? You can come closer and try it with your palm." Li Weili's words fully utilized the rules. Around the trial field, many powerful night demon-level guards were standing by. Once they discovered someone was in danger of losing their life during the trial, they would immediately stop the trial and rescue that person. This was also why, despite the intensity of the Heavenly Genius Trials, the mortality rate was still very low.

  If there is no danger to their lives, these people will not take action lightly.

  At this moment, Li Weili's situation in the trial field has already controlled Zhang Chong's mind. If he slashes his sword at Zhang Chong or lets Zhang Chong lean his head against it, it would be an extremely dangerous situation, and the match would immediately stop, declaring Li Weili the winner.

  However, in Li Weili's heart, he wanted to avenge Liu Qingshuang, so he didn't want to simply win and let Zhang Chong off. Therefore, he thought of waiting for an opportunity to severely injure him.

  "So venomous, yet you dare to tell me it's a good sword. I see your current attitude, which is truly despicable." Zhang Zhong's mouth still uttered a calm "hmm", as he walked forward. However, in his heart, he was secretly cursing.

  "Sly people will only fall in love with sly people, no wonder this Li Weili and Liu Qingshuo are good friends. Looking at their methods, they're all equally sly. But fortunately, my specialty is dealing with you sly people."

  He muttered to himself, slowly walking up to Li Weiyi's front, his eyes fixed on the gleaming long sword, his right hand raised high and heavily slashing down.

  The crowd outside witnessed such a bizarre scene, although it was not an intense fight, but it was more shocking and thrilling than a fight. No one expected that this insidious force could produce such a terrifying effect, causing people to completely lose themselves and perform some abnormal actions.

  Just as Zhang was about to strike down with his sword, someone couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

  Just as Zhang Chong's right hand was about to chop down with his long sword, his left hand quickly stretched out and rapidly charged towards Li Weiyi's chest. At the same time, his right hand changed from a palm to a finger, rubbing against the blade of the sword and extending towards Li Weiyi's eyes.

  One Designates Heaven and Earth

  In an instant, the momentum was like lightning, and with the two of them being too close, Li Weiyi was caught off guard and couldn't change his move in time. Suddenly, a severe pain spread from his chest.

  However, what made him unable to catch his breath was that Zhang Chong's body, like a gecko, had completely attached itself to his front, with both hands not leaving his body, continuously striking out.

  "Bang, bang, bang~~~" In a string of attacks, Li Weiyi was knocked flying like a sack.

  Zhang Chong didn't stop in his tracks either, but instead closely followed up.

  "In dealing with an enemy, one must be all-out and relentless."

  He knew the ferocity of Levi, and having obtained this opportunity to launch a sneak attack, he would not easily let it go. He continued to attack fiercely, and then, a dazzling fireball exploded in front of Levi's chest.

  "Bang~~~" Li Weili was knocked out of the arena.

  "Zhang wins again."

  Everyone was shocked.

  Zhang Chong, however, seemed nonchalant and picked up Li Weiyi's long sword from the ground, laughing loudly as he said:

  "What a great sword!"

  At this moment, he laughed with great relish.
