Why Didn't You Kill Me?

Chu Feng, Xiao Chen, and their group slowly walked towards the Life and Death Arena.

The group of five walked slowly, but everyone present instinctively stepped aside like a tide, making way for them.

Wang Baole had never seen such a scene before. Looking at the huge crowd, he felt both nervous and excited.

He followed Cao Youqian and asked in a low voice, "Second Senior Brother, when will I be able to fight someone in front of so many people?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Youqian instinctively patted Wang Baole on the shoulder.

He wasn't very strong, but Wang Baole almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Don't rush, once you break into the top 100 in the next Outer Sect Grand Competition, you'll be able to experience that feeling."

Upon hearing this, Wang Baole's eyes gleamed with anticipation. He thought to himself, "I must cultivate diligently so that I can enjoy the cheers of the audience at the next Outer Sect Grand Competition."

Chu Feng and the others quickly made their way through the surging crowd to the foot of the Life and Death Arena.

He had just stopped when he felt a cold gaze upon him.

Chu Feng subconsciously looked in the direction from which the gaze came.

He saw Elder Bing staring coldly at him from the opposite side, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

He ignored Elder Bing and patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder instead.

"Go, Little Chen. It's time to sever ties with the past yourself."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly. "Yes, Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew onto the Life and Death Arena.

On the opposite side of the arena, Qin Rou saw Xiao Chen appear and, without hesitation, lightly leaped onto the Life and Death Arena.

When former lovers meet, there is no tenderness on either of their faces, only indifference.

"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to actually dare to fight me."

Qin Rou spoke in a condescending tone.

She saw through Xiao Chen's cultivation level at a glance; he was merely at the Eighth Level of True Fate Realm.

Xiao Chen remained calm. "Why wouldn't I dare? This battle isn't about proving anything to anyone, but simply about perfecting my Sword Intent, and you are my whetstone!"

hiss...

Upon hearing this, the onlookers present couldn't help but gasp.

They had found out about the feud between the two before they arrived.

I never expected these two to be so ruthless.

Below the arena, Cao Youqian laughed and said, "Master, I've never seen Senior Brother so serious before. That Senior Sister Qin is in for a world of hurt this time."

Chu Feng murmured, "It's a pity they didn't get married, otherwise Little Chen could have stacked the buff of killing his wife to prove his Dao."

Cao Youqian:???

Qin Qin:???

On the stage, Qin Rou's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and she coldly said, "Xiao Chen, you dare to challenge me? Today I'll show you what true difference in skill is!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her aura surged, and a pressure from the Heavenly Origin Realm instantly enveloped the entire Life and Death Arena.

Wherever Qin Rou's aura reached, a thin layer of frost covered the ground, and the air was filled with frost and snow.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen slowly drew his sword. "Give it your all, and let me see how much you've improved over the past three years. Don't disappoint me."

As he spoke, a terrifying aura burst forth from Xiao Chen and shot straight into the sky.

This aura was mixed with a terrifying Sword Qi.

At this moment, he gave Human and Sword Unity.

"As expected of Senior Brother Xiao, he remained completely unfazed in the face of the pressure from the Heavenly Origin Realm expert."

"When Senior Brother Xiao first entered the True Fate Realm, he was able to defeat Heavenly Origin, who was of a higher level. Let alone now that he's even stronger."

"Can the Heavenly Origin Realm cultivators outside compare to the Heavenly Origin Realm in our Dao-Seeking Academy? Especially since this is Heavenly Origin Realm from the Heavenly Spirit Institute!"

"..."

Clang!

Qin Rou drew her long sword and slashed at Xiao Chen.

"Flying Snow Fills the Sky!"

With Dao Sword, every snowflake in the air was imbued with the sword's radiance, transforming into countless Sword Qi that fell to the ground.

Xiao Chen casually waved his hand, unleashing a torrent of Sword Qi.

Boom!

The two Sword Qi collided and exploded on the Life and Death Arena.

The snow stopped Life and Death Arena the instant the aftershocks subsided.

The dazzling sword light also disappeared.

But the next second, the two figures on the stage moved simultaneously.

Clang clang clang...

A sword rang out.

Swords flashed and figures clashed on the arena.

The two exchanged blows, evenly matched.

Bang!

After dozens of moves, Qin Rou blocked Xiao Chen's sword and took several steps back.

"Xiao Chen, you're nothing special after all. It's time for us to settle this."

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, "It's indeed time to settle this."

Qin Rou twirled her sword and thrust it forward with a fierce cry, "Ice Seals Ten Thousand Li!"

That sword strike contained a terrifying chill; wherever the Sword Qi reached, everything in the world froze into ice.

Xiao Chen leaped up suddenly, slashing with his sword. "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!"

Dao Sword appeared first, followed by countless Sword Qi falling like raindrops.

Rumble!

The deafening sound echoed endlessly across the Life and Death Arena.

The explosion caused by the collision of Sword Qi made it impossible to see what was happening on the Life and Death Arena for a moment.

After a long while.

The explosion ended.

The mist and sword light on the Life and Death Arena dissipated.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the Life and Death Arena.

Qin Rou knelt on one knee, the sword in her hand falling to the ground.

A long sword was pointed at her throat, rendering her unable to move, and blood gushed from Qin Rou's throat along the tip of the sword.

Xiao Chen, sitting opposite her, had one hand behind his back and the other gripping a sword, his eyes coldly fixed on the woman before him.

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt only calmness; he did not choose to kill the other party.

Because the moment his sword pierced Qin Rou's skin, he severed the past between the two of them. The Sword Intent Greater Accomplishment of Sword Intent realized.

You lost.

Why don't you kill me?

Qin Rou asked a question instinctively.

"I came here not to kill, but to sever ties with the past."

Xiao Chen's voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet environment, everyone present could hear it clearly.

"I lost."

Qin Rou slowly closed her eyes, looking resigned to her fate.

The moment Xiao Chen's sword pierced her throat, she felt an unprecedented fear, and she no longer had any thought of resisting.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen casually sheathed his longsword.

Then, without looking back, he walked off the stage. Qin Rou listened to the footsteps, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Xiao Chen's departing figure, feeling a strange sense of loss.

The area beneath the arena was unusually quiet.

After witnessing such a fierce battle, everyone present felt not only shock but also a sense of lingering excitement.

"Qin Rou, let's go."

A cold, icy voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing her master's voice, Qin Rou instinctively picked up the sword from the ground and prepared to leave.

Just then, a voice with a hint of amusement rang out.

"Elder Bing, have you and your disciple forgotten something?"
