Chapter 1079 - 1079: This Time, I Choose
Bian Xiu was completely overwhelmed in every aspect, be it Divine Soul, Rules, or Sword Heart.Even in terms of Immortal Power, he was far inferior to Captain Jiang.
Don't be deceived by the fact that Brother Cheng is only at Emperor Realm Eighth Layer Mid-stage, just one small realm above him.
But Brother Cheng's foundation is too deep.
Such difficult cultivation improvements mean his accumulation of Immortal Power far exceeds the normal level of the same tier.
Currently, he has actually surpassed Emperor Realm Ninth Layer relying solely on Immortal Power.
In this situation, Bian Xiu trying to counterattack was rightfully a guaranteed defeat.
Then a loud bang followed!
The explosive effect of the Five Elements Sword Heart was revealed.
Bian Xiu's remains completely exploded, with no sign of life left.
The entire venue fell silent again.
Blood rain splattered onto everyone, leaving them all dazed, staring at the scene, even forgetting to dodge.
On both sides, be it the Evil Immortals or Lai Ping and the teammates, they were all dumbfounded.
What did they just see?
Bian Xiu was actually killed in an instant by this person?
How is that possible?
Could it be a mistake?
That's Bian Xiu after all!
If his Celestial Heart Tier was sufficient and he hadn't become an Evil Immortal, with his talent, he would have qualified to enter the King-level Dojo.
Wasn't he supposed to be a world-class genius with great fortune?
Yet just like that, he was easily done away with?
It's simply absurd!
Unbelievable.
Eventually, it was Brother Cheng himself who broke the silence, bringing them back from daze.
He first opened the panel to check, and the surprise from these people actually provided him with some Reputation Value, not bad at all.
"Ahem, sorry about that!"
He even raised his hand with an apologetic look.
"I heard you all talking about him being such a remarkable genius, thought he was impressive."
"So I used a bit more force than necessary."
"Didn't expect him to be so fragile."
Actually, he had only used a Sword's Profound Pattern moments ago.
He didn't use other Sword Hearts, just a few Five Elements Sword Hearts.
But there was no helping it!
The power gap between Bian Xiu and him was just too vast.
He sighed with regret.
"I originally intended to pierce through his heart with just one sword, but ended up using too much force and blew him up completely."
"My apologies, all of this is due to my inadequate service."
"Next time I'll definitely pay more attention…"
Bian Xiu couldn't hear it anymore.
The others, though, listening to him didn't seem like he was joking at all.
For a moment, everyone's mind was filled with absurdity, unsure how to respond.
Lai Ping reacted first.
The originally despairing mindset instantly turned into joy!
He knew Captain Jiang should have some strength.
But he never dreamed he'd be this strong!
Not just him, Bian Xiu and Meng Shi, Zhong Man, and others were equally pleasantly surprised.
The few couldn't wait to telepathically communicate, expressing their joy.
"This is great!"
"Turns out our captain is this strong?"
"Whoa, instantly took down an Emperor Realm Eighth Layer Early-stage!"
"That was an Emperor Realm Eighth Layer expert, rumored to be some kind of peerless genius, yet gone with just one sword?"
"Our captain is incredibly powerful!"
Lai Ping, who previously had no confidence, was now shaking.
"Don't forget, our Captain Jiang is a genius from the Upper Court of the King-level Dojo!"
"What if Bian Xiu is a world-class genius? Can he compare with him?"
"I've always told you to show more respect and trust in the captain, but you wouldn't listen."
"Perspective, insight, you three have a long way to go."
The three nodded repeatedly, reflecting deeply on their previous mindset.
Though Captain Jiang might seem a bit clueless, often disorganized, his power was undeniable!
At this rate, there's still a good hope of winning two more matches.
And by then, there's hope for survival!
Meanwhile, the mood was entirely different for the Evil Immortals on the other side.
"He actually won one match? And that easily?"
"Did this person hide his strength?"
"Doesn't seem like it, he's indeed in the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer Mid-stage, I'm not mistaken!"
"Then how did he do it earlier?"
"Most likely, he used a Forbidden Technique to temporarily boost his strength!"
These Evil Immortals were not unfamiliar with such Forbidden Techniques.
These Forbidden Techniques are strong, but so are their side effects.
Often, it only grants power for one battle.
"He should be all show now, unable to continue."
"Exactly!"
"Bian Xiu that fool, was too careless and got ambushed."
Just moments ago, Bian Xiu was still a genius in their eyes, but the moment he died, he was immediately labeled a fool.
"The next round, we absolutely must win!"
"No matter what, we can't let this kid go!"
While they convened secretly, Brother Cheng stepped forward once more.
"Ahem, well then, according to your rules, we still have two more matches to fight, right?"
The Emperor Realm Ninth Layer leader nodded with a stern face.
"That's right, two more matches!"
"You can choose one among us 17."
He pointed at himself with a murderous aura.
"I welcome you to challenge me, just afraid you won't dare!"
A delighted smile appeared on Brother Cheng's lips.
"Since you're so eager, I'll be sure to comply."
His words almost made Lai Ping and the others, who were busy cheering in celebration, fall over on the spot.
"Captain!"
"Captain, don't be impulsive!"
"Weren't you going to let us choose?"
This person is Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, and judging from the respect other Evil Immortals show him, he's likely the strongest of them!
Highly likely to be Emperor Realm Ninth Layer Late-stage.
Why did you choose him of all people? Isn't this courting death?
Brother Cheng shrugged: "I forgot, but you guys did pick last time, so consider it a bit of engagement!"
"Be satisfied with that."
Seeing him still maintaining that nonchalant, carefree demeanor, other Evil Immortals started complaining again.
"Damn, he actually picked Venerable Rock Bone, does he have a death wish!"
"Why didn't the kid pick me?"
"Damn it, we won't even get a turn now."
"Venerable Rock Bone is Emperor Realm Ninth Layer Late-stage, once he comes on, it'll be over early."
"Absolutely oblivious!"
"Hahahahaha..."
The Emperor Realm Ninth Layer leader, Venerable Rock Bone, laughed heartily.
"Once chosen, there's no turning back!"
"Seems like only I can personally take this kid's head."
Brother Cheng even agreed with his first half of the statement.
"Right, right, once chosen, you can't regret it."
"Whoever it is, it is."
Seeing him still fearless, entirely unaware of what's coming, and not showing the fear he wanted to see, Venerable Rock Bone was quite dissatisfied.
"Kid, it seems you've gained extreme confidence from that last battle."
"Leading you to severely overestimate your own power."
"Do you really think I'm like that fool Bian Xiu?"
Brother Cheng nodded with a friendly smile.
"I hope you're not the same."
"So, how do you plan to die?"
