Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3615: Reaching an Agreement

Wasting two high grade God Tier pills one after another left Immortal Exalt Wei Qi bleeding inside. He was in pain, as he really did not have too many pills like that. He always tried to use them when he most needed them so that they would not go to waste.

As a result, using high grade God Tier pills on a challenge of absolutely no importance was an utter waste to Immortal Exalt Wei Qi.

However, if he did not use the high grade God Tier pills to heal himself, it would be extremely likely for him to be defeated once his injuries had compounded.

If a mighty Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt lost to a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor junior, anyone would find it to be a smear of shame to their name.

As a result, to preserve his dignity, Immortal Exalt Wei Qi was forced to grit his teeth and use the God Tier pills to sustain himself, albeit reluctantly.

“Under my secret technique, your life energy is being depleted constantly, and it is being depleted at an alarming rate. I’d like to see just how much life energy you have left in you to heal you.”

“Hmph, Chang Yang, I refuse to stop until you run out of life energy.”

“You’re a mere Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, yet you dare to challenge me? Of course, you have to pay a heavy price.”

Immortal Exalt Wei Qi had a vicious light to his gaze. The wastage of the two high grade God Tier pills made him develop a hint of resentment towards Jian Chen.

After all, not every Immortal Exalt was as wealthy or extravagant as the Immortal Feather sect.

Just like that, Jian Chen used the Source of Life to heal his injuries and used the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike from time to time, engaging Immortal Exalt Wei Qi in a battle of endurance.

Days passed one by one. Not only had Immortal Exalt Wei Qi consumed three healing pills already, but he had even consumed a pill for recovering energy.

After all, maintaining such a powerful secret technique over such a long time would deplete the energy of even Immortal Exalts.

“Dammit, just how much life energy does Chang Yang have left in him. How has he still not run out yet?” After ingesting the third healing pill, Immortal Exalt Wei Qi finally began to waver slightly.

He only had around ten high grade God Tier pills on him in total. With that, he had almost used up half of them.

He could not help but begin to doubt himself. Was it really worth it to do this?

Time gradually trickled by. Very soon, several more days had passed. When Immortal Exalt Wei Qi ingested his fourth healing pill, he finally could not help but ground his teeth. “Chang Yang, don’t tell me the life energy in your body is truly endless?”

“Of course, it’s not endless. There’ll be a day when it runs out, but according to the current rate, I can last another three months at the very least.” Jian Chen sneered. Given the strength of the Source of Life, he could obviously last far more than just three months. After all, the life energy he had exhausted so far to recover was insignificant to the sovereign god artifact.

In the past, the Source of Life could even endure the Heartless Child’s attacks in the chaotic sea, let alone Immortal Exalt Wei Qi who was merely at the Second Heavenly Layer.

“Another three months? Doesn’t that mean that I’ll have to exhaust another several dozen high grade God Tier pills? I don’t even have that many high grade God Tier pills in my Space Ring.” However, when he heard Jian Chen’s words, Immortal Exalt Wei Qi’s heart sank. His expression became extremely ugly.

He did not know whether Jian Chen could actually last that long, but he did know that he could not continue this gamble any longer. After all, the more time he spent here, the greater his losses would be.

It was not like he could last three months anyway!

After all, this was not a simple battle. If it were only a battle, then he could fight against an equal opponent for several tens of thousand years without necessarily becoming exhausted as an Immortal Exalt.

However, Immortal Exalt Wei Qi was constantly enduring the attacks of the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike. Faced with this wondrous secret technique that could not be blocked, Immortal Exalt Wei Qi’s injuries would worsen every once in a while.

His regeneration was not as great as Jian Chen. He would not be able to endure all that as time went on.

Uncertainty flashed across Immortal Exalt Wei Qi’s eyes. He hesitated for a very long time before finally working up the courage. “Chang Yang, there’s no point in us fighting like this any longer. Why don’t we stop here?”

Jian Chen smiled gently in response. “If that’s the case, you’re more than welcome to forfeit, senior Wei Qi.”

As if he had just been triggered, veins popped from Immortal Exalt Wei Qi’s forehead. He immediately roared furiously, “Forfeit? You want me, a mighty Immortal Exalt, to forfeit against a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor junior like you? That’s completely impossible.”

“Since you refuse to forfeit, then we’ll have to keep fighting like this until the final victor is determined.” Jian Chen sneered, showing him no respect at all.

“Chang Yang, offending me to death will bring you no benefit at all. You better consider things carefully,” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi said sternly. It was also at this moment that he stopped shining, proactively stopping the secret technique and stopping his attacks towards Jian Chen.

After a slight pause, Immortal Exalt Wei Qi said after a deep inhale, “Even if you win against me, I’ll just be humiliated, but I can tell you very clearly that once that happens, I will do everything I can. I will make use of every connection within my reach to make your time in the Observance Heaven City hellish for the next few millennia. You can forget about spending even a single day in comfort here.”

Jian Chen’s face immediately sank. He understood that Immortal Exalt Wei Qi had that kind of authority, as there were far too many methods for a superior to go after their subordinates within the permissible range of the rules of the Observance Heaven City.

The artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City would never care about these actions, as it was the artifact spirit of a sovereign god artifact. It dwelled high above, so why would it care about these trifles?

As long as the rules of the Observance Heaven City were not broken, the artifact spirit basically would not become involved in anything.

Seeing how his threat had some effect, Immortal Exalt Wei Qi smiled gently. His tone also became more mild. “Of course, if you forfeit, I can promise you that for the next few millennia, I’ll let you spend your time in the Observance Heaven City in comfort. I definitely won’t make things difficult for you, nor will I interfere with anything you do. Apart from that, if the other four commanders want to oppress you or go after you, I can stave them off for you too.”

“Chang Yang, what do you think about my conditions?” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi stared at Jian Chen in interest.

“What if the Immortal Feather sect comes after me?” Jian Chen blinked his eyes and asked.

“The Immortal Feather sect played a role in the reason why I summoned you to the commander’s estate in the first place. However, I have shown the Immortal Feather sect the respect that is due. The Immortal Feather sect won’t interfere with anything that I do next. I don’t have the courage to offend the Immortal Feather sect, but that doesn’t mean the Immortal Feather sect can order me around,” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi said seriously. In order to preserve his dignity, he had no other choice.

Jian Chen stood where he was and hesitated slightly before smiling faintly. He looked at the sky and said slowly, “I forfeit!”

In the next moment, Jian Chen and Immortal Exalt Wei Qi both vanished from the ancient battlefield at the same time, returning to the commander’s estate.

Jian Chen changed into a clean set of clothes. Apart from having all his hair off, he seemed no different from before.

Meanwhile, there was a hint of fatigue on Immortal Exalt Wei Qi’s face. He had yet to recover from the injuries in his body.

“I’ll have to trouble you with taking good care of me next, senior Wei Qi.” Jian Chen smiled and clasped his fist towards Immortal Exalt Wei Qi politely.

Reaching an agreement like this with Immortal Exalt Wei Qi was already the best outcome he could get.

Right from the beginning, Jian Chen never had any plans of defeating Immortal Exalt Wei Qi. While defeating Immortal Exalt Wei Qi would bring him momentary glory, what came next would be Immortal Exalt Wei Qi’s hysterical vengeance.

That kind of vengeance would not be enough to threaten his life, but it would definitely turn his days in the Observance Heaven City into absolute torture.

......

…

After leaving the commander’s estate, Jian Chen directly returned to his general’s estate.

Jian Chen immediately saw the two disciples from the Immortal Feather sect at the entrance of the estate. They stood to the two sides in low spirits.

The two disciples of the Immortal Feather sect seemed to have received some kind of news beforehand. As soon as they saw Jian Chen return, they beamed with emotion. They held back their smiles and clasped their fists like they were striking a pose. “Senior Chang Yang, you’ve finally returned. Can we return and cultivate now?”

Jian Chen frowned slightly. He was displeased. “Didn’t I say? For the next few thousand years, the two of you will be responsible for guarding the entrance.”
