Princess Lan spoke, which surprised Qin Chuan, but he quickly understood. This woman was decisive,
or rather, she immediately saw the crux of the problem.
She had no other choice. Qin Chuan might be an opportunity, but only one. Without this, she would have no chance at all.
Those around watched from a distance, some even leaving.
Si Yang was a special figure in the Sun and Moon Sect, acting with impunity due to his family's influence. However, he was also well aware that some people were untouchable, and some mistakes were unacceptable.
Therefore, over the years, he had made many mistakes, but most were manageable—some he resolved himself, some his family handled them—and never escalated to an unmanageable level.
Gradually, his notoriety grew, and many subconsciously felt to avoid provoking him, or if provoked, to minimize the damage.
This was his philosophy. As for resistance or fighting to the death, those were nonexistent. Si Yang didn't provoke those who could resist or fight back.
He only provoked those who couldn't resist or fight back. He enjoyed the feeling of controlling others' destinies, their lives and deaths, and watching their helplessness and despair. This gave him satisfaction.
Princess Lan spoke, and Si Yang's lips unconsciously curled into a smile. This kind of smile usually appeared when he was extremely smug; others didn't like to see it, but he enjoyed it nonetheless.
Si Yang loved this feeling of being forced to agree despite others' helplessness.
"I didn't force you; you agreed to it yourself," Si Yang said, smiling at Princess Lan.
If Princess Lan had the ability to kill Si Yang right now, she probably would have done so without hesitation, but now she could only grit her teeth and nod: "With so many people around, I hope you'll keep your promise."
"I, Si Yang, can guarantee that I keep my promises. I will definitely do what I promise. However, it's both laughable and foolish for you to place your hopes on a mere immature brat at the eighth level of the Void Realm," Si Yang said disdainfully.
Princess Lan was actually quite uncertain. Even though Qin Chuan had defeated the eldest prince, even though Qin Chuan had given her a great surprise, and even her best friend Chang Ge spoke highly of him, none of this made her believe that Qin Chuan could defeat Si Yang.
However, she had no choice, so she was grateful to Qin Chuan, regardless of the outcome, as it couldn't possibly be worse.
Qin Chuan was also pondering what to do next. He couldn't ignore this situation, especially since the royal family had treated him well, and Princess Lan was Chang Ge's friend.
Qin Chuan and Chang Ge were friends, very good friends, so it was only right and proper for him to intervene if he had the ability.
This Si Yang gave Qin Chuan a very strong feeling, extremely strong. At least below the God of War realm, Qin Chuan hadn't encountered anyone stronger than him.
A spoiled brat with such talent—perhaps that's why he could act so recklessly within the Sun and Moon Sect despite his
status. Saying he was invincible below the God of War might be unrealistic, as there are always stronger people, but among those below the God of War realm, those who could surpass him were extremely rare.
However, Qin Chuan felt he was about to encounter him today. He wondered if this thought was shameless, comparing himself to that rare individual.
In truth, Qin Chuan had always believed himself to be invincible below the God of War realm. He felt he could defeat anyone below that level, no matter how strong they were.
"Kid, kneel down and kowtow three times, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, fists and feet have no eyes; if anything happens, I hope you won't regret it," Si Yang grinned, revealing a set of impressive white teeth. Qin Chuan
smiled but remained silent, indicating that they could begin.
The area was open and suitable for fighting, so it was best to finish the fight quickly.
"Make your move; don't say I didn't give you a chance," Si Yang said, narrowing his eyes at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan nodded, saying nothing more, and took a step towards Si Yang. His aura erupted, his violent momentum like a golden dragon charging towards Si Yang.
Although Si Yang appeared careless, he was still very cautious in battle. Even though he verbally disregarded Qin Chuan, he was now taking him very seriously.
Although Qin Chuan had no good feelings towards this person, his fighting attitude was truly commendable, which was perhaps why he had survived until now.
Caution was still necessary when needed.
Asura Blade!
Si Yang's aura was incredibly strong. With a single step, a huge crater appeared in the ground, and he transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Qin Chuan. Simultaneously, with a flick of his hand, a jet-black short blade appeared.
Sharp, cold, and even a wisp of frost-like mist clung to the black blade, freezing the air in its wake.
This attack seemed utterly ordinary, but Qin Chuan still saw the hidden secrets within. No wonder the opponent was so confident; this attack was indeed powerful.
This was an attack resulting from the fusion of Yuan Qi and spiritual power. With the fusion of Yuan Qi and spiritual power, coupled with the execution of this combat technique, this technique was certainly no ordinary object.
However, Qin Chuan remained calm and reached out to strike.
Cloud Hand!
This attack was empowered by the Yin-Yang Dao. Cloud Hand, soft yet firm, possessed immense power. As Cloud Hand was unleashed, a layer of Yin-Yang energy enveloped his palm, meeting the Asura Blade head-on.
"You're courting death!"
Si Yang watched as Qin Chuan met his attack bare-handed. Although his Asura Blade was merely a condensed aura, it wasn't something anyone could easily withstand with bare hands.
*Swoosh! Swoosh!
* There wasn't a deafening sound, but the teeth-grinding sound, the intertwined auras, and the mutual dissolving of power...
Hmm?
Si Yang was surprised to find that Qin Chuan could actually block his attack?
Si Yang's confidence stemmed from his special physique, allowing him to perfectly fuse his cultivated Yuan Power and spiritual power, achieving a synergy far greater than the sum of its parts.
Moreover, this attack not only increased in power several times over, but also combined with his powerful martial arts skills and his status as a half-step War God Realm expert, making him a unique existence at this stage, unafraid of anyone below the War God Realm. He
was confident; he hadn't encountered an opponent like him in years.
Even those who had blocked his attacks were often somewhat disheveled, quickly becoming unable to withstand the onslaught.
But today, Qin Chuan not only blocked his attack but was completely unharmed, not even at a disadvantage.
This person is only at the eighth level of the Void Realm, while he himself is already at the half-step War God Realm...
Although they have only exchanged blows once, he understands that his strength lies in his attack method. Few people can withstand this kind of attack, at least not so easily.
