"I don't want your sword. I'll fight your immortal slave!"
With life and death as the stakes, Mu Bai could not let someone else fight in his place, so he would simply fight to the end himself. Suddenly, Chen Shichong sprang into action. Just as Mu Bai shouted, he transformed into a broad sword and slashed straight at a nearby Golden Immortal. He had already exchanged blows with Hai Chen's Immortal Slave Jin Yi before. With the bearing of a Heavenly Pride, how could Chen Shichong lose his nerve now?
"I'll fight! Don't go back on your word!"
Chen Shichong had said he would retrieve the White Dragon Water Sword for Mu Bai. Now that the sword was right before him, how could he possibly retreat?
Only this time, he did not merely want to survive his opponent. He had to win!
The Golden Immortal grinned derisively and extended a finger to touch the edge of the sword Chen Shichong had become. Terrifying pressure roared forth. Not only did Chen Shichong feel as though he had struck a mountain of gold, but fierce metallic winds also scraped and sliced his sword body, hissing against it as dazzling gold-white sparks showered out.
By then, it was already too late for Mu Bai to intervene. Given Chen Shichong's temperament, once he had committed to a fight, he would never want Mu Bai's help, for he had his own dignity and fighting spirit as a Heavenly Pride.
"Ah..."
Gritting his teeth, Chen Shichong exerted every ounce of strength through his sword body, gathering all his sword intent into a single point on the blade. Yet he still could not advance a fraction beneath that finger, much less pierce it and draw blood.
The Supremes of the Origin Realm present also held their breath
