Chapter 309 – Fiasco
After saying that, the old crone no longer looked at the four people, turned around and walked towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
Xu Chuniang’s mood did not relax with it, but instead became more and more somber.
This feeling of not being able to do what she wanted was very unpleasant.
But having come, it was naturally impossible to beat a retreat, and the four of them followed the old crone in silence.
Not long after, in front of a huge ring, the four finally saw Zhuge Yun and Shangguan Xue, as well as a handsome-looking man dressed in a purple robe.
Between the flow of his brows and eyes, he vaguely revealed a few hints of evil glances.
The old crone walked quickly to the purple-robed man and whispered a few words in his ear.
The man then turned back and carelessly swept a glance at the four, before his gaze landed on Zhuge Yun, revealing a sneer.
“Zhuge Yun, today, I will let the people of my City Lord’s Mansion, and your several senior brothers and sisters be witnesses, you and I will have a match, and the one who loses will swear by the Dao Heart to voluntarily give up Sister Xue’er. Do you dare to accept?”
Zhuge Yun had yet to open his mouth, but Shangguan Xue was frowning slightly with a disapproving look.
“Brother Xie, why is that so.”
The corners of Xie Changyuan’s mouth smiled more deeply, his gaze lingering on Shangguan Xue’s stunningly beautiful face.
“Xue’er sister if you want to protect you this senior brother, it is not impossible, only need to agree to my marriage proposal is.”
Shangguan Xue’s face slightly stiffened, was about to say something, Zhuge Yun was openly raised his head, angrily staring at Xie Changyuan.
“Yes, I will agree to this match. The one who loses must swear by the Dao Heart.”
“That’s more like it.”
Xie Changyuan let out a light laugh and took the lead as he flew onto the ring.
“Senior brother …… why are you doing this.”
Shangguan Xue sighed lightly, but in her heart, she understood that at this point, a fight between the two could no longer be avoided.
“Senior sister don’t worry, I will definitely go all out.”
Zhuge Yun finished cautiously and walked towards the ring.
When he was halfway there, he seemed to have thought of something and turned back to look at Xu Chuniang’s several people.
“You wait here, just wait a little.”
Watching Zhuge Yun get into the ring, Huo Chunyan really couldn’t hold back and transmitted her voice to spit at Xu Chunniang.
“Tsk tsk, I’ve heard in the past that Senior Brother Zhuge is an infatuated man, and today, I’ve seen that the rumors really don’t deceive me.
Since that purple-robed man is a disciple of the Mixed Yuan Realist, and his cultivation is less than Jindan, he should be Xie Changyuan, who is undoubtedly in the great circle of Foundation Establishment.”
Xu Chuniang’s gaze followed the ring and landed on that Xie Changyuan, vaguely having a guess.
That day in the auction, there had been a voice coming out of the No.1 elegant room, which had a slight resemblance to this Xie Changyuan’s voice.
Perhaps, he was the person who was in the elegant room that day.
Right at this moment, the two men in the ring faced each other, and the battle was imminent.
Xie Changyuan seemed to smile, “Zhuge Yun, you’re only at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, while I’ve already completed Foundation Establishment. Are you sure you want to fight me?”
Zhuge Yun’s face was like frost, only taking out his turquoise longsword without a word.
“Good, since that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being unforgiving.”
As soon as Xie Changyuan’s words fell, he saw four huge black chains appear from in front of him, rapidly stretching and attacking towards Zhuge Yun.
The four chains were seen crisscrossing across, instantly forming a large network of chains.
Zhuge Yun saw Xie Changyuan’s intention to encircle himself, and continuously swung out his sword to chop at the chains, avoiding falling into the encirclement.
However, the chains were made of an unknown material, and the sword’s mane only left a shallow mark when it landed on them.
In front of the four huge chains, the turquoise longsword looked small and powerless. It didn’t take long for Zhuge Yun’s forehead to develop fine beads of sweat, while the large network of chains tightened more and more.
He retracted his sword stance and lightly tapped his foot on a section of the chains, his body flew backwards out of the gap in the chains, and in the process, he broke away from the siege.
However, Xie Changyuan seemed to be unconcerned, only calmly driving the chains towards Zhuge Yun.
And those four huge chains with his mind, instantly shrinking countless times, the speed steeply increased, immediately bound Zhuge Yun’s right hand.
“Oh no, Senior Brother Zhuge has been tricked, this Xie Changyuan was merely faking a siege previously!”
Seeing this scene, a look of anxiety surfaced on Zhang Yu’s face and he couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.
The rest of the few people similarly frowned slightly, Zhuge Yun as a sword cultivator, the right hand that made the sword was bound, which was equivalent to being half wasted.
“With a clang, as the chain tightened, the turquoise long sword in Zhuge Yun’s hand fell to the ground.
He was unwilling to admit defeat and took out the Iron Seal Fan in his left hand, launching an attack towards Xie Changyuan.
“Sculptor’s little skill.”
Xie Changyuan laughed coldly, calmly avoiding several harsh fan feathers with tricky angles, “You’re a sword cultivator who has lost to me with a sword, using a broken fan is nothing but a self-disgrace.”
With a flash of severity in his eyes, a tiny chain separated from Zhuge Yun’s right hand and wrapped around the Iron Seal Fan in a deadly fashion, then he exerted his strength to churn it into several pieces.
The Iron Seal Fan was destroyed, Zhuge Yun’s divine sense was damaged, and his face showed a pained expression.
Xie Changyuan, however, took the opportunity to strike a deadly blow, and the spiritual power in the chain soared, piercing towards his heart!
Seeing this scene, Shangguan Xue’s pupils shrunk slightly, “Brother Xie, please be merciful!”
Xie Changyuan’s movements slightly paused, but without mercy, he urged the chains and pierced through Zhuge Yun’s heart.
Zhuge Yun screamed miserably, losing consciousness in pain and fainting on the ground.
“Brother Xie!”
Shangguan Xue’s face changed slightly, and she chided in a snappy voice as she hurriedly flew onto the ring, taking out several pills for Zhuge Yun to take.
“Don’t worry, I have a sense of proportion in my hand, he can’t die. Just want to leave him with a deep lesson, after all, I’m still waiting for him to swear with his Dao Heart.”
The corner of Xie Changyuan’s mouth hooked up into a smile as he put the chains away and playfully wiped away the beads of blood that were still hot on them.
“Besides, Zhuge Yun is still your senior brother no matter how bad he is, how can I bear to watch sister Xue’er grieve for your senior brother on.”
Shangguan Xue took out the elixir and gave it to Zhuge Yun before she had time to check his condition.
Zhuge Yun was extremely injured, but indeed, as Xie Changyuan said, there was no danger to his life.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but her face still did not look too good.
Zhuge Yun, however, coughed lightly at this time and woke up.
His gaze, instantly locked on Shangguan Xue who was close at hand, his eyes complex and lost, “Senior sister ……”
Xie Changyuan’s eyes swept over and landed on Zhuge Yun’s body, moodily interrupting him.
“Since you’ve woken up, let’s take the oath of the Dao Heart first.”
Zhuge Yun’s originally pale face suddenly lost a bit of blood color, he opened his mouth but failed to make a sound, only looking at Shangguan Xue in a daze.
“Senior Brother Zhuge has not been a little too miserable.”
Huo Chunyan lets out a soft “tsk”, “Although I feel that he was asking for it, but looking at him like this, there is always something in my heart that doesn’t feel right.”
Xu Chunyang’s gaze fell on the three people in the ring, and she spoke slowly.
“An oath made with the Dao heart is extremely binding. If it is violated, not only will it be difficult to advance in cultivation by an inch, but you will also have to suffer the pain of having your Dao heart shaken.”
