“What kind of martial technique is this? How can it be so domineering?” Timothy Jiang was shocked to his core. The sword technique Terra Su was using was so powerful that it didn’t seem like a Normal Grade low-tier sword technique at all!
Could it be a Normal Grade mid-tier sword technique?
But Timothy Jiang had no time to ponder further.
Because Terra Su had already propelled himself forward with a tap of his toes, charging at him with his long sword raised high, intent on killing.
Timothy Jiang was terrified. It was clear that Terra Su intended to take advantage of this moment to defeat him once and for all.
He wanted to concede by saying “I admit defeat,” but faced with the chilling murderous intent in Terra Su’s eyes, Timothy Jiang opened his mouth, and the words “I admit defeat” got stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken in time.
All he could do was watch helplessly as Terra Su slashed down with his sword again!
“Little Terra!”
Sophia Xu couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice. If Terra Su’s sword strike were to land, Timothy Jiang would be severely injured if not dead.
Clang!
Just at this critical moment, a long sword appeared out of nowhere, blocking Terra Su’s sword firmly.
Terra Su glanced sideways and saw Stewart Jiang’s face, his expression dark and grim.
“Terra Su, he has already lost. Do you still intend to kill him?” Stewart Jiang’s face was ugly. Had it not been for his timely rescue, Timothy Jiang might have truly been slain by Terra Su’s sword!
This was the Jiang Family’s territory. If a direct descendant of the Jiang Family were to be killed by an outsider, the Jiang Family would become the laughingstock of the entire city!
Terra Su smiled faintly, his eyelids drooping slightly to conceal the bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes, and said indifferently, “In a martial contest, the sword has no eyes. An accidental death would not be my fault. Moreover, you say he has lost, but I haven’t heard him concede defeat!”
With that, Terra Su looked down condescendingly at Timothy Jiang, who was now paralyzed with fear on the ground, and said, “You called me trash before, but now you can’t even beat me. Doesn’t that make you less than trash?”
“You…” Timothy Jiang’s face burned with humiliation, as if Terra Su had just slapped him in the face, yet he was unable to retort.
“The contest isn’t over yet. Either concede defeat or stand up and continue fighting!” Terra Su said with a light and breezy tone.
Timothy Jiang was caught between a rock and a hard place. To continue fighting meant he had no chance of winning and risked being killed by Terra Su.
But to concede defeat would be to admit he was worse than trash.
Stewart Jiang, unable to hold back, sneered with contempt, “As expected of someone who was kicked out of his sect, you only know how to do useless things!”
“Oh?” Terra Su turned his head slowly to look at Stewart Jiang, “It sounds like you’re someone useful. Why don’t you replace him and continue the fight with me?”
“What?” Stewart Jiang almost thought he had misheard. “You want to fight me?”
Not just Stewart Jiang, but everyone present thought their ears were playing tricks on them. An eighth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm challenging a ninth layer?
Stewart Jiang was always proud. Being challenged by someone a whole cultivation level lower was an insult to him.
Without a second thought, Stewart Jiang was about to refuse.
But just then, he heard his father Otto Jiang’s faint voice in his ear.
“Stewart, fight him!”
Stewart Jiang glanced sideways and saw Otto Jiang standing not far away, looking at him.
Stewart Jiang knew that Otto Jiang was using a martial technique called “Sound Convergence” to speak to him. This way, no one else could hear, only Stewart Jiang.
In an instant, Stewart Jiang understood Otto Jiang’s intention.
This was an opportunity to turn the tables on the bet!
“Fine, I’ll continue the fight in Timothy’s place! But if you lose, those five hundred Minor Origin Elixirs won’t go to the second branch,” Stewart Jiang said.
Terra Su smiled, a sly glint in his eyes, “Alright, but if I win, those five hundred Minor Origin Elixirs will be doubled to one thousand.”
He knew Otto Jiang and Stewart Jiang would take the bait. Otto Jiang would definitely have Stewart Jiang fight him to win back those five hundred Minor Origin Elixirs.
Sure enough, without a second thought, Stewart Jiang agreed, “Fine.”
Both parties quickly entered the arena, and the contest began!
It was Timothy Jiang and Terra Su who had been fighting before, but now it was Stewart Jiang’s turn to face Terra Su.
Terra Su’s gaze was indifferent. He was quite satisfied with the power of his Waves Stacking Slash, a special secret technique that didn’t fall into any grade. Just by executing “One Sword, Three Waves,” he had easily defeated Timothy Jiang, who was at the same cultivation level.
Now, Terra Su wanted to know, what kind of power would “One Sword, Seven Waves” wield if he used it without holding back?
Stewart Jiang, right from the start, didn’t waste any words. He fully displayed the strength of the ninth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm and unleashed the Normal Grade mid-tier Greenwood Sword Technique.
His momentum was clearly aimed at killing Terra Su in one strike.
Otto Jiang stood at the edge of the arena, his gaze fixed on Stewart Jiang and Terra Su.
He knew that from any angle, the chances of Terra Su winning were almost zero.
Stewart Jiang was already at the ninth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm, while Terra Su was only at the eighth layer. The saying “one layer difference, a world apart” was not without reason. A difference of one cultivation level meant a vast disparity in strength.
But for some reason, Otto Jiang’s heart couldn’t settle down. He always had this unsettling feeling.
Otto Jiang shook his head, certain it was just an illusion. How could a fifteen-year-old boy make him feel this way?
In the arena, Stewart Jiang looked at Terra Su with disdain, “Terra Su, although you do have some skill, you are ultimately too arrogant.”
“An eighth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm cannot defeat a ninth layer.”
“Today, let me, Stewart Jiang, teach you a lesson.”
“Greenwood Sword Technique!”
Stewart Jiang directly executed his trump card, the Greenwood Sword Technique. The sword’s force was fierce, intent on slaying Terra Su with a single strike!
“Child’s play!”
Facing Stewart Jiang, who was a whole cultivation level higher, Terra Su no longer held back his strength. He raised his sword high and executed “One Sword, Seven Waves.”
With one slash, the sword carried the momentum of wind and thunder, the sound of the tides, and collided head-on with Stewart Jiang’s sword.
Clang!
A loud collision followed by seven muffled sounds of air explosions.
Everyone present was shocked, almost certain that the next moment would depict Terra Su’s tragic defeat.
But the next moment, something unexpected happened!
In the center of the arena, one person stood still as a statue, holding a long sword, motionless.
However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that the long sword in his hand had been cut down by more than half, leaving only a bare hilt!
And this person was not Terra Su, as everyone had imagined, but Stewart Jiang!
At that moment, the entire place fell silent!
Shock was evident in everyone’s eyes.
They simply couldn’t believe what they were seeing!
Stewart Jiang had lost!
