Chapter 2607: Chapter 2627: If I Become Fearless of Death, Why Fear a Battle?

Zhen Liuxue opened her eyes and looked at the man in the green shirt, letting out a gentle breath.

"Sidao Wang!"

The man in the green shirt appeared to be about thirty years old, handsome with a gentle smile, exuding an inexplicable sense of closeness. Yet, his eyes were cold, with an aloofness like Divine Spirits condescending to the human world. The two contradictory feelings manifest in one person, leaving an eerie yet compelling impression.

The man in the green shirt was none other than the ruler of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, the Myriad Immortals Hall Master, the Quasi-Saint Sidao Wang!

Sidao Wang stared at Zhen Liuxue’s face, his voice leisurely, "Zhen Liuxue, you proved to be mightier than your master, you have actually entered the Quasi-Saint Realm."

Zhen Liuxue sneered, "Had I known earlier, do you regret not killing me, not eradicating me from the root?"

Sidao Wang frowned and shook his head slowly, "You slew my disciples at all costs, forcing me to show myself. It seems you have learned the truth of the past, haven’t you?"

Zhen Liuxue asked in a stern voice, "Are you trying to deny it?"

Sidao Wang smiled casually, "Why would I deny what I’ve done myself? Let alone now, even back then, I never intended to hide it. The one who truly wanted to hide the truth was your master..."

Zhen Liuxue sneered, "The only reason my master chose to hide the truth was for fear of your crazed actions against us, it was for our safety that she concealed the truth!"

Sidao Wang readily admitted, "Yes, she was overthinking it. I killed her because I needed to sever my heart’s desires; this was a step I had to take to reach Quasi-Saintliness. You and I have no grudges; there was no need for me to kill you."

"And as for you seeking vengeance, that is only natural. I killed your master, so naturally, I should give you a chance for revenge, provided you are willing to risk your lives for it."

Sidao Wang spoke eloquently, remaining calm and gentle, "I have long been aware of your secret investigations. Truth be told, I never took them seriously. Frankly, having killed her, I already owe her. If not for matters escalating to this realm, I would prefer not to kill you as well since you were the people she valued most."

"However, I underestimated you, not expecting that you would’ve reached the Quasi-Saint Realm, taken control of the Dao of Time. Since you have made an attempt on my Myriad Immortal Hall, I naturally cannot let you live. Today I came to usher you on your way."

Zhen Liuxue’s voice was filled with icy harshness, "You let her down? Your skin sure is thick. She may not have liked you, but she always saw you as a friend. Yet, you turned around and killed her. Do you still consider yourself human?"

Sidao Wang spoke calmly, "The me from the past might have been human, but do you think I still am now?"

Zhen Liuxue was momentarily speechless. How can you argue when someone claims they are not human?

"Good, the path of Immortal Cultivation defies the heavens, survival of the fittest. Today I shall battle you and settle this debt of gratitude and grievance!"

Sidao Wang calmly stared at Zhen Liuxue, "Although you’ve entered the Quasi-Saint Realm, it was merely by a narrow margin, wasn’t it? I heard that you appear withered in everyday life and only regain your exceptional beauty when you fight with all your might. Forcing yourself to ascend to the Quasi-Saint must have come at a great cost; the side effects of fighting with that power must be substantial, right?"

Sidao Wang laid out the truth with a glance, but Zhen Liuxue was not surprised, merely responding coldly, "The side effects are indeed severe, but if I’m willing to risk my life, what does it matter if I fight with all my strength?"

Sidao Wang shook his head slightly, sighing gently, "The gap between a Quasi-Saint and a peak Daluo Initial Immortal is just a step, yet it’s heavens apart. There are untold trillions of cultivators in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, but very few can enter the Quasi-Saint Realm. Though you barely made it, dying in such a state would be a pity indeed."

Zhen Liuxue mocked, "What now, at this stage, you still intend to recruit me?"

Sidao Wang smiled faintly, "If you are willing to submit to me, I can spare your life, not hold the past against you, and even give you a chance for revenge. Every one thousand years, I will grant you an opportunity to challenge me fairly, a chance to kill me. How about that?"

Zhen Liuxue’s eyes widened; even though she wanted to kill Sidao Wang, she couldn’t help but acknowledge his magnanimity and confidence.

This was a testament to his absolute confidence in his own strength, keeping Zhen Liuxue close as a whetstone, a stimulus to keep pushing himself forward.

Was Sidao Wang aspiring to ascend to the Saint Realm?

Despite the grand promise, which was actually quite advantageous for Zhen Liuxue, she wasn’t willing to accept it.

Submit to her enemy?

Impossible!

She would rather die!

Zhen Liuxue coldly refused, "Thank you for your kindness. I know you are powerful, I know I’m no match for you; I never really thought I could kill you..."

Sidao Wang’s expression darkened slightly; he had anticipated Zhen Liuxue’s intentions.

Zhen Liuxue’s gaze burned as she stared at Sidao Wang, "I know you are wholly devoted to becoming a Saint, willing to pay any price for your cultivation. But what if I severely injure you and cut short your journey to sainthood?"
