Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 413 - 238: The Might of the Celestial Spirit Armor, One Punch to Kill!

"Impossible." Upon hearing the words of the black-clothed elder, Qi Chuan shook his head, "I’m sorry, now that the Wood Thunder Pine is in my possession, it’s impossible to take it out again, you should give up."

The black-clothed elder’s expression turned gloomy upon hearing this.

However, considering that Qi Chuan hails from the Nascent Soul Major Sect, Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect of Beihua State, he considered giving up for a moment.

After all, those Core Formation True Masters from a Nascent Soul Major Sect are not simple, and their strength is generally not weak.

Battling them in magical combat is quite dangerous.

Yet, the Wood Thunder Pine was right before him, making it hard for him to let go.

Moreover, he sensed that the aura Qi Chuan revealed didn’t seem very strong, appearing to be merely of the Core Formation Middle Stage.

While he himself did not come from a Nascent Soul Major Sect, he had reached the pinnacle of the Core Formation Middle Stage years ago, possessing numerous techniques and had repeatedly slain Core Formation True Masters, including some of the Middle Stage.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but harbor adventurous thoughts.

However, even with adventurous thoughts, he still preserved some respect on his face, cupped his hands towards Qi Chuan and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have always held Nascent Soul Major Sects like the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect in reverence. Since you hail from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, I should have the sense not to overestimate myself and compete with you for the Wood Thunder Pine."

"Yet, this Wood Thunder Pine is extremely important to me, and hard to abandon. I wish to have a contest with you, and if I’m not your equal, I will concede and immediately withdraw. I also hope you will show mercy."

Hearing this, Qi Chuan smiled: "Want to have a match with me? It’s possible."

"But let me say this first, if you don’t win, I will definitely kill you! You know very well, in such a desolate place, with no one watching, if I’m defeated, what my fate would be."

"Of course, if you regret now, you can still leave, and I won’t harm you."

The black-clothed elder’s heart sank upon hearing this.

His thoughts were unexpectedly seen through by the opponent.

Indeed, that was what he was thinking.

If the opponent’s strength was inferior and defeated by him, he would certainly kill the opponent, not only taking the Wood Thunder Pine but also all the opponent’s resources without leaving anything, and as for the potential threat from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, he could simply never step foot into Thunderfall Canyon or even Beihua State again.

And if he were defeated, and the opponent believed his words and let him go, then he would have gained a chance to probe without loss.

Since his thoughts were exposed, the situation had changed.

If he gave up, there would be peace, but the Wood Thunder Pine would fall into the opponent’s hands.

And if he chose to go through with it, one of them would surely die.

At this moment, he fell into a bit of hesitation.

Looking at Qi Chuan, who seemed fearless, it was as if the opponent had him figured out completely.

"He must be pretending, if he was truly fearless and far stronger than me, why didn’t he just slay me directly? Why show such magnanimity, acting as though he doesn’t mind?"

"If one didn’t know, one might think he’s at the Core Formation Late Stage?"

After hesitating for a moment, perhaps Qi Chuan, though being Core Formation Middle Stage, was acting too composed, making it seem peculiar. The black-clothed elder suddenly steeled his heart, letting his wicked courage surge, and decided to gamble this time!

"In that case, I have to see whether it’s you who dies, or me!"

The black-clothed elder said, spitting out a magical treasure.

The treasure was a black, handleless dagger-shaped object that flew out of his mouth. It didn’t swell with the wind, but instead, quivered slightly before transforming into a black profound light, carrying a cutting edge’s sharpness, darting towards Qi Chuan at extreme speed.

Before it could even arrive, Qi Chuan felt the opponent’s magical treasure locking onto him, with a feeling akin to a thorn in his throat.

Yet Qi Chuan sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "I originally intended to spare your life. Celestial Cold State is also a neighboring state to the Demon Insect Nest, a Core Formation Middle Stage True Master would be somewhat useful, but it seems, given a path to life, you choose not to take it and instead step onto the path of death."

"Given that, I have no choice but to slay another."

Celestial Spirit Armor!

Qi Chuan opened his mouth, and a platinum-colored ray shot out. Within the glow, one could vaguely see a miniaturized platinum and ornate armor.

Once out, the platinum ornate armor rapidly enlarged, transforming into human height, and descended onto Qi Chuan, instantly equipping itself on him.

In the air, there remained only a silhouette adorned with a platinum and ornate armor, emanating dominance and dignity.

"An armor-type magical treasure?"

Seeing this, the black-clothed elder was slightly startled.

Armor-type magical treasures are indeed expensive to produce.

Truly befitting someone from a Nascent Soul Major Sect to be so wealthy.

But armor-type magical treasures are still a type of magical treasure and not invincible.

Moreover, once I slay Qi Chuan, this armor-type magical treasure will be mine.

"Break it for me!"

The black-clothed elder’s Dantian operated his Golden Core vigorously, wrapping the black profound light with the concealed dagger image. In a flash, it appeared above the platinum armor warrior in the void, striking fiercely down, unleashing the Tier Three Middle Grade Attack Treasure’s full might.

However, as it was about to strike, the platinum armored warrior’s palm suddenly appeared in front of the dagger, palm open, grasping slowly.

Clink!

The dagger treasure struck the white palm with force, its power bursting forth.

Unexpectedly for the black-clothed elder, the dagger treasure not only failed to split open the palm of the platinum armor warrior but instead sparked a series of sparks, leaving merely a white mark on the palm’s plate.
