Chapter 422: Chapter 407: Both Sides Suffer

"Why not? I think you can tell me, and then we can have our life-and-death duel. It won’t make a difference."

Long Chen smiled.

"We are enemies."

Chu Xuan said.

"We aren’t enemies, we just stand in different camps. As for you, you and I have no personal grievances; you’re just helping that old fart kill people. So, it doesn’t affect our ability to have a chat before the big battle, does it?"

Long Chen’s smile warmed.

"Let’s talk after we fight."

Chu Xuan didn’t waste words and drew her sword to strike.

"So violent for an old lady?"

Long Chen met her attack, parrying Chu Xuan’s incoming sword with his own.

"Who are you calling an old lady?"

Chu Xuan was furious.

"I’m talking about you. Since you’re that old geezer’s woman, you must be quite old too. If you’re not an old lady, are you still a young girl?"

Long Chen taunted.

"You’re courting death."

Chu Xuan seethed, unable to contain her rage, her attacks becoming increasingly ferocious.

Undeterred, Long Chen engaged Chu Xuan in a fierce battle.

They were both at the Cave Law Realm, equally matched in combat power.

Therefore, when they clashed, the scene was astonishingly impressive.

Boom boom boom.

The mountain beside them shook after sustaining a few blows, as if it was about to collapse.

Long Chen felt his hands go numb as the sword qi invaded his body.

On the other hand, Chu Xuan was shaken and staggered a few times.

"Listen, witch, our combat power seems about equal. By fighting like this, we’ll probably both end up injured without any benefit. What’s the point? Wouldn’t it be better if we just sat down and talked? Maybe we could avoid this battle altogether."

Long Chen chuckled.

"Don’t give me that facetiousness; you’re the witch, your whole family are witches. Tonight, either you die, or I perish."

Chu Xuan attacked with all her might, holding nothing back.

"Crazy woman."

After taking a hit, Long Chen was also genuinely enraged.

Boom boom boom.

Their figures weaved back and forth at lightning speed.

Sword qi collided constantly, exploding like fireworks, intensely bright.

Clang.

Sword clashed against sword, sending Spirit Light scattering in all directions.

Then, two figures retreated and lunged forward at the same time, a beautiful yet deadly dance where each move carried lethal intent.

Ten minutes passed, and over a hundred moves were exchanged, neither gaining the upper hand.

But both were wounded, their robes stained with blood.

"Again."

Chu Xuan’s anger had subsided somewhat, and she treated the duel seriously.

Long Chen could not afford to be careless because a single moment of underestimation could lead to his undoing.

The battle continued, growing more brutal by the minute.

After several hundred exchanges, both fighters’ breaths had become labored.

Long Chen, with his sword pointed at Chu Xuan, said earnestly, "Out of respect for you being a woman, I haven’t aimed for your chest or face when striking."

"Get lost."

Chu Xuan’s expression was cold as ice as she launched another onslaught.

Her attacks were tricky and ruthless.

"Damn, why do you always aim for my groin?"

Long Chen dodged, sweating bullets.

If she managed to chop it off with one strike, he couldn’t bear to think about the consequences.

"Cut off your lifeline, silence you, the bastard, from spewing nonsense."

Chu Xuan said coldly.

"Oh, I get it, it must be because that old coot is useless, right? Haha, you’re jealous of me for having a normal and powerful man’s function, aren’t you?"

Long Chen mocked her.

This joke struck a nerve with Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan’s face twisted in anger, but unlike before, she didn’t curse at Long Chen outright. Instead, she silently unleashed a terrifying onslaught.

Long Chen paused, then burst into laughter: "Haha, looks like I hit the mark. That old guy really is useless."

Hiss.

The moment Long Chen’s laughter faded, his arm was struck by a sword, blood spraying out.

And Long Chen’s sword had barely missed Chu Xuan’s neck, nearly severing it.

They crossed paths, each inflicting certain damage on the other.

"Again."

Long Chen turned and charged towards Chu Xuan, his fighting spirit growing more fearsome.

Chu Xuan knitted her brows tightly, shocked by Long Chen’s power and resilience.

She had never seen such a powerful young man.

"Could it be that you are also a Reincarnator with memories?"

Chu Xuan couldn’t help but ask.

"Reincarnator?" Long Chen was astonished. "Are you a Reincarnator?"

"I’m asking you," Chu Xuan’s expression darkened.

"It seems you are."

"Heh, I am. Are you?"

"I’m not. I’m a handsome young man."

"Get lost."

After a brief spat, the bloody battle erupted once more.

Among the mountains, the duel became increasingly intense.

Both were using all their methods, yet neither could suppress the other.

After more than five hundred moves, during one particular exchange, they both fell from the sky at the same time.

After hitting the ground, neither of them could get up and they gasped for air.

Right then, in the void, the Dharma Body of Sword Master manifested once again.

"Xuan’er, you’ve worked hard,"

Sword Master spoke.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan said with some concern, "Using your Dharma Body within a month like this isn’t good for your breakthrough. Go back, lest you drain your Primordial Energy."

"It’s fine, I can still hold on. This time, I’ve come with a portion of my Mana to lend you a hand,"

said Sword Master.

Hearing this, Chu Xuan immediately said sternly, "My duel with Long Chen is fair and square. I hope you will not intervene."

"Xuan’er, he is the enemy. There’s no need for fairness or moral ethics with him."

With that, Sword Master struck down with his palm.

Boom.

The palm landed solidly on Long Chen.

Because Long Chen had no strength to dodge.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face paled.

After Sword Master struck with one palm, his figure faded slightly.

But the smile on his face was brilliant.

Chu Xuan looked at Long Chen and saw his pale, handsome face, feeling a strange sensation in her heart.

This young man truly had an extraordinary bearing; it would indeed be a pity if he died like this.

At the same time, Chu Xuan was very unhappy.

Because Sword Master had disrupted a fair duel.

"What you are doing is unjust."

Chu Xuan spoke gravely.

"Justice? The victor is king, the loser the thief. What need is there for talk of justice?"

Sword Master said calmly, "After this palm, he is bound to die. Even if he doesn’t, you will recover faster than him. Xuan’er, it’s up to you now."

"Heh, I won’t die that easily. You might be disappointed,"

Long Chen’s wounds were healing, and his Bloodline Power was boiling within him.

In just a few short minutes, Long Chen had recovered some strength.

But at this moment, Chu Xuan had yet to regain any ability to move.

"How can this be?"

Sword Master’s face turned pale.

Long Chen rolled over and sat up, coming beside Chu Xuan.

"What are you going to do?"

Sword Master demanded.

"Old man, I hear you’re not quite capable in certain respects. Since you’re impotent, how about I take care of your woman for you?"

Long Chen reached out, undoing Chu Xuan’s robe.

Chu Xuan’s expression changed, but at that moment, she had no fighting strength.

To prevent any accidents, Long Chen then sealed Chu Xuan’s acupoints, leaving her immobile.

In the sky, Sword Master’s Dharma Body was furious, "You have no martial ethics, young man. This isn’t good. Let her go immediately."

"Didn’t you just say it? No need to talk about justice. The victor is king, the loser the thief. So, just watch closely as I defile your woman."

Long Chen’s hand didn’t hesitate to grasp Chu Xuan’s fullness.

Chu Xuan bit her lip tightly, her beautiful eyes seeming like they could spew fire.

"You beast, I’ll never share the sky with you!"

Sword Master roared, helpless, for the Mana his Dharma Body brought was only enough for one strike.

"If you enjoy watching, then watch closely and see how I perform,"

Long Chen said coldly.

"Xuan’er, you’ve suffered. Rest assured, I will kill this person’s entire family to avenge and wash away your humiliation."

As he finished speaking, Sword Master’s Dharma Body disappeared from the sky.
