Chapter 465: Playing Tricks
"As you wish!"
"I now formally challenge you! If I lose, I will voluntarily give up the qualification to join the Main Pulse and take everyone from the Dan State Branch away. If I win, there are two conditions."
Chu Feng truly complied with his wishes, taking the initiative to challenge Young Master Jia.
Seeing the fish take the bait, Young Master Jia secretly rejoiced in his heart.
"Not just two conditions—even if there were two hundred, I would agree to them! Speak up, what are the two conditions?"
The finer details can reveal a person's nature. Although Young Master Jia spoke boldly and decisively, he did not rashly agree to Chu Feng's terms. Instead, he wanted to clarify Chu Feng's two conditions before making a decision.
"Husband, do not act rashly! This Young Master Jia is incredibly powerful, and the chances of you losing to him are very high."
"Indeed, Mr. Chu is by no means a match for this person! Do not fall for his cunning plan!" Han Shuang also followed in trying to dissuade him with Han Xiaoying.
Followers like Han Dong and the Beixie National Master stood behind Chu Feng, their faces filled with worry.
Their earnest persuasion conveniently served as a shot of adrenaline for Young Master Jia, making him more confident in his victory.
"Boy, what are your conditions? Hurry up and say them!" he urged repeatedly.
Determined in his heart to defeat Chu Feng fair and square, trampling him underfoot, even if Chu Feng's conditions were excessive, he would agree to them all.
Later, on the arena, to defeat the lad surnamed Chu and trample him beneath his feet.
Holding this lad's life and death in his hands, Young Master Jia could completely force the beautiful woman named Han Xiaoying into submission, making her become his Sword Slave, and only then would he spare the lad surnamed Chu.
Thinking of his plan, a smug smile couldn't help but appear on Young Master Jia's lips.
"The first condition, if I win, you must not make things difficult and immediately handle their sect registration procedures! Enroll every single person's name into the clan's records!" Chu Feng raised one finger.
"Fine, no problem, I agree!"
This request was something Young Master Jia ought to do anyway; it hardly counted as a condition.
"The second condition, if I win, you must give me the Jade Pendant on your waist!" Chu Feng pointed at the Jade Pendant on Young Master Jia's waist.
As long as he obtained this Jade Pendant, the damaged talisman array within his Demon Slaying Sword could be immediately repaired.
Now that he had gained the qualifications to enter Wan Jian Sect's Main Lineage and reclaimed the Nine Yang Sword Veins, his cultivation was sure to skyrocket. Once he ascended to the Sword Saint Realm, he could activate the Demon Slaying Sword and initially display its might.
At the least, Sword Flight and slaying enemies would not be an issue.
The current Demon Slaying Sword, due to severe damage, although its sword body has been repaired by Chu Feng, its internal talisman array, and the Sword Spirit, were still unrepaired. Its might was greatly diminished.
Hearing Chu Feng demanded his waist Jade Pendant as the stake, Young Master Jia visibly hesitated.
This Jade Pendant was an ancestral treasure, said to have been obtained by his great-grandfather during an adventure in a Dangerous Domain on the Divine Martial Continent. Inside it housed an Eternal Jade Worm, and moreover, a Heavenly Silkworm, which was extraordinarily precious.
Such a treasure, if lost to Chu Feng, would surely result in Young Master Jia having his legs broken by his father.
"If you don't agree, then forget it!" Chu Feng was luring him into making a move.
In a battle of wits and cunning, Young Master Jia was nothing compared to him, an Alchemy Venerate who had lived for several thousand years, and was not even worthy to carry his shoes.
"Fine, I agree!" Young Master Jia gritted his teeth; for the chance to take care of Chu Feng and to smoothly obtain the peerless beauty Han Xiaoying, he was willing to go all out.
"That's the spirit! I can't trust your character, so the Jade Pendant must be given to someone I trust! Placing it in her hands, you shouldn't have an objection, right?" Chu Feng pointed to his fiancée, Han Xiaoying.
Young Master Jia saw Han Xiaoying's beautiful eyes fixed on his face, and he suddenly felt his bones lighten by a few ounces.
In front of a beauty, how could he lose his grace and face?
Without a second word, Young Master Jia took off the pendant from his waist, smugly smiling, wanting to personally hand it over to Han Xiaoying.
The result was that Lu'er, standing behind Han Xiaoying, darted forward first, caught the object, and blocked Young Master Jia from getting any closer. She would never allow someone to take advantage of her mistress.
Only the young master himself is entitled to her mistress's favor.
That's what Lu'er was thinking in her little head.
"Leave it to me!" Lu'er handed the object over to her mistress and stood with her arms akimbo, glaring fiercely at Young Master Jia.
She didn't even give Young Master Jia a chance to speak a word to her mistress up close.
"F*ck, you nosy little maid! Wait until I force your mistress to submit, then I'll deal with you too!" Young Master Jia was a beast through and through.
...
On the arena, Chu Feng and Young Master Jia ascended the stage one after the other. The stage was over three meters high, and Young Master Jia, playing the cool guy, flew up there with Sword Flight.
Chu Feng, with only the cultivation of a Great Sword Master and unable to use Sword Flight, had to jump up honestly.
Without a doubt, his manner of entrance was a notch weaker than Young Master Jia's.
This immediately provoked a torrent of laughter and jeers.
"Boy, prepare to die! Rest assured, I will not kill you. I will just trample you underfoot and then make your fiancée yield..."
"Ah!"
Before Young Master Jia could finish his pompous speech, he was swept off the arena by a strike from Chu Feng.
Sudden cries of shock erupted from the audience below.
The people from Dan State Branch were shouting themselves hoarse with loud cheers and whoops.
Chu Feng was really too cool, and many people hadn't even clearly seen how he had struck.
Young Master Jia was too busy showing off to even deploy his Sword Domain, so losing to Chu Feng's surprise attack was no wonder at all.
However, the fact that he only fell off the stage in a fluster without getting hurt clearly showed his strength.
Those who were jeering at Chu Feng just now looked as if they had tasted bitter herbs, one after another, they shut their mouths.
The turn of events was too sudden, many were not yet psychologically prepared.
"Boy, do you have any respect for the rules? This is a competitive duel; your sneak attack just now doesn't count as a win." Young Master Jia, fuming with anger and embarrassment, flew back onto the arena. This time he was much more cautious.
Having deployed his Sword Domain, he was on high alert against Chu Feng.
In fact, if he had any sense of shame, he would have already admitted defeat.
Now, returning to the arena and accusing Chu Feng of sneak attacking seemed quite like poor sportsmanship.
"Fine, I'll give you another chance!" Chu Feng had already tested the depth of Young Master Jia's ability and was absolutely certain he could defeat him.
Young Master Jia's understanding of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill could, at most, reach the Second Level.
As for the Third Level, he definitely hadn't grasped it yet.
But Young Master Jia had quite a deep understanding of the Fast Sword Technique and the Heavy Sword Technique. It's no wonder he managed to get through the second barrier of the Qiankun Sword Formation.
The Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, a place brimming with experts.
"Begin!"
This time, right after the temporary judge below the stage shouted to start, Chu Feng made his move.
