Jian Jinsheng died. Though there had been a few twists along the way, and Jian Jinsheng had even struck back from the brink of despair, he had ultimately been no match for Tong Zhongqiu and Qin Haisan joining forces.
In terms of talent, Jian Jinsheng did not lose out to the geniuses of those top powers. In terms of fortune, discovering a Joint Aperture Realm cave dwelling that had lain hidden for centuries was even more a one-in-ten-thousand chance.
No matter how one looked at it, Jian Jinsheng seemed destined to be one of heaven's favored sons.
But in the end, he had only seemed that way.
First, he had fallen to demonhood. Then Chen Fei had gravely wounded him with a single sword strike. Finally, even his Magic Treasure and Universe Bag had been taken away.
The moment Jian Jinsheng fled, he had actually already reached the end of the road, with mountains exhausted and rivers spent. Without any other powerful backing, Jian Jinsheng's fate had been sealed.
Jian Jinsheng himself had known this, but he had still wanted to gamble—to gamble on that possible path to survival. In the end, however, he had failed to gamble his way out.
Before absolute strength, many things became not worth mentioning.
Chen Fei understood this, which was why he had constantly strengthened himself. He did not know when he might encounter such a situation as well.
When that day truly came, only his own strength could provide him with a real foundation. Everything else was ultimately void.
"Congratulations!" Chen Fei looked at Tong Zhongqiu and said with a smile.
"If it hadn't been for you and Brother Qin, I alone could never have dealt with Jian Jinsheng." Tong Zhongqiu cupped his hands in salute toward Chen Fei and Qin Haisan.
