Chapter 216: Chapter 216: The Wager Battle

As Zhou Shihao’s voice faded, Su Luo appeared and stepped forward, his gaze coldly fixed on Zhou Shihao, "No need to threaten me, you wouldn’t dare to press it."

Zhou Shihao seemed to be amused by anger, "You think I care about their lives and deaths?"

"You don’t care about their lives, but you care about your own future. You know very well that if you really killed them, you’d have no bargaining chip left. Aunt Shen would not return, and I wouldn’t hold back anymore!" Su Luo had already learned some truths from Shen Qingzhi.

Zhou Shihao fell silent, Su Luo was right, he indeed wouldn’t kill the Lin Family members unless absolutely necessary.

"You’re not wrong. But so what? Now, the power to decide is in my hands. I want to see whether you will choose this woman, Shen Qingzhi, or choose Lin Songbai and these Lin Family members."

Zhou Shihao sneered, forcing Su Luo to make a choice.

Su Luo’s eyes briefly swept over Zhou Shihao and then turned to Chen Lihua, "I would like to know, which of you two has more authority?"

Chen Lihua glanced at Zhou Shihao, suppressing the anger in her heart for the time being, and said, "What do you want?"

Su Luo said, "If you can make decisions, then I will have a fair fight with you. If I win, I want Zhou Shihao’s life, and we will erase all our past grudges and not disturb each other from then on. If I lose, I will submit to you and from then on, follow your orders unreservedly!"

"How about it, do you dare?"

Chen Lihua sneered, "Why wouldn’t I dare?"

She was eager for Su Luo to fight her, confident in taking down Su Luo in the duel. On the contrary, it would be more troublesome for her if Su Luo avoided the fight and focused on escaping.

"Not just a fight, but those conditions as well," Su Luo reminded.

Both his and Zhou Shihao’s gaze fell entirely on Chen Lihua.

Naturally, Su Luo wanted to know whether Chen Lihua agreed or not, while Zhou Shihao wanted to see Chen Lihua’s stance—it was, after all, a matter concerning his life and wealth.

Chen Lihua patted Zhou Shihao on the shoulder, "Shihao, don’t worry, I can’t possibly lose!"

Her words undoubtedly made her stance clear.

Zhou Shihao’s face changed instantly, his eyes darkening. He was very aware that Chen Lihua had already treated him as expendable.

The reason was probably not just because she wanted Su Luo to submit and hand over secrets, but also because Zhou Shihao’s power in Jiangbei had been severely damaged, his experts almost completely lost. Even Shen Qingzhi, his greatest reliance, was now messed up by Su Luo, diminishing his value in Chen Lihua’s eyes.

Zhou Shihao clenched his fists tightly, maintaining his silence.

Chen Lihua glanced at him, saying nothing more. To her, Zhou Shihao’s value was indeed not great anymore. On the other hand, if Su Luo could be made to submit... that would be a significant asset to them.

After all, Zhuo Qingfeng was dead, and if Su Luo could submit, he could take over Zhuo Qingfeng’s position, and moreover, he would be more formidable than Zhuo Qingfeng and more valuable.

"Once Su Luo is subdued, someone must immediately be ordered to bring the Three Corpse Brain Divine Elixir, that way, we can ensure Su Luo truly submits, without daring to harbor thoughts of betrayal."

Chen Lihua thought silently to herself.

She looked up at Su Luo, "Since you want a fight, let it be here, tonight!"

She was worried Su Luo would stall for time or play tricks.

"Fine."

Against Chen Lihua’s expectations, Su Luo agreed straightforwardly.

"But can you ensure that Zhou Shihao won’t play any tricks while we are fighting?" Su Luo said, after agreeing, his gaze then shifting to Zhou Shihao.

"I can guarantee it, before the outcome of our battle is decided, none of the Lin Family members will be in danger," Chen Lihua stated directly.

She demanded the bomb controller from Zhou Shihao.

Zhou Shihao’s expression was ugly.

Chen Lihua’s face darkened slightly, "Shihao, do you not believe in my strength, thinking that I can’t win against Su Luo?"

A moment later, Zhou Shihao suddenly smiled and handed the bomb remote control to Chen Lihua, "I certainly believe in Sister Chen."

"Rest assured!" After getting the controller, Chen Lihua smiled again and patted Zhou Shihao on the shoulder.

Then, she put the remote control into her pocket.

"Make your move."

As her words fell, Chen Lihua directly took action.

She also drew a soft sword from her waist. As she charged towards Su Luo, the soft sword swung open, directly bringing up several strands of sword qi in a fan shape, like a sword fan, slashing at Su Luo in midair.

From just this one move, it was clear that although Chen Lihua and Zhuo Qingfeng were both Fifth-Grade Grandmasters, Chen Lihua was evidently much stronger than Zhuo Qingfeng.

Perhaps Zhuo Qingfeng was only a beginner Fifth-Grade Grandmaster, while Chen Lihua had already reached the peak of the Fifth Grade.

The power that burst forth as she wielded her Inner Strength far surpassed Zhuo Qingfeng’s.

"Phantom Step!"

Though Su Luo was surprised, he was not afraid. He employed Phantom Step, leaving afterimages in the air, and instantly dodged the fan-shaped sword qi that Chen Lihua had slashed out, causing her strike to miss.

But Chen Lihua was like a shadow that follows its source. Seeing Su Luo flash away, the soft sword in her hand swung again, changing direction and once more slashing towards Su Luo.

The soft sword in her hand, when wielded, was even stronger than a hard sword.

This made Su Luo secretly wonder if the reason modern martial artists, lacking Storage Rings and finding it inconvenient to carry weapons with them, chose soft swords, pairing them with various leather scabbards, and wore them like a belt around the waist for easy carrying.

Although he had this doubt in his mind, Su Luo’s reaction was not slow. The Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo appeared in his hand, and he too slashed out with a sword.

And Su Luo welcomed the blade edge head-on; he wanted to use the advantage of the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo to directly cut through Chen Lihua’s soft sword.

However, Chen Lihua seemed to sense Su Luo’s intention and possibly recognized the extraordinariness of Su Luo’s Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo. As Su Luo delivered his strike, she suddenly withdrew her sword and retreated, only slashing out a swath of sword qi to sweep over Su Luo.

"This woman is quite clever!"

Thought Su Luo, she knew to use her advantage, employing her Fifth-Grade Grandmaster’s Inner Strength to deal with him instead of engaging in a weapon clash.

Chen Lihua’s cleverness undoubtedly brought danger to Su Luo. As he slashed out with the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo to deal with the sword qi, he was unable to fully defend against the sword qi Chen Lihua launched.

That almost led to his jeopardy.

Luckily, Su Luo’s response was quick enough, and his movements were swift, allowing him to evade the sword qi that could have injured him seriously. However, his waistcoat was slit open by the sword qi, tearing off a corner.

Clearly, in the first exchange, even though Su Luo possessed a divine weapon, he still found himself at a disadvantage.

This caused Lin Songbai to break out in a sweat for Su Luo.

Yet, Chen Lihua did not give Su Luo any time to catch his breath. After she withdrew to evade Su Luo’s Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo, her soft sword swung again.

This time, she directly launched a straightforward attack.

Inner Strength flowed along her arm and infused into the blade of the sword, bursting forth from the tip in the form of sword qi, aiming for Su Luo.

It was like a laser beam, focused into a line, emanating from the sword tip, aimed straight at Su Luo’s heart!
