Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 587

Chapter 587 Sword Will Clash

Wang Wei flew to his seat while ignoring the weird gaze of everybody else. However, as soon as he sat down, Tong Ruobing asked him: "You didn't really take his scale, blood, muscle, and heart, did you?"

She remembered the conversation on the first day. And based on what she knew about Wang Wei, it would not be below him to do so.

"You sly wench, don't accuse me of doing such horrible things," replied Wang Wei with righteousness. "He's only like that because I placed on some powerful illusion."

Tong Ruobing sneered; she watched the fight he had with Ji Song and how he essentially cooked the latter in a fit of rage. As such, he would never underestimate this man's cruelty.

'His behavior of hiding his fight is weird,' she thought. 'Could it be he did not want others to know what he did to the dragon or is there another reason he wants to hide?'

Tong Ruobing decided to wait and observe. Although she wanted to test her strength in comparison to these upper seeded-players and acquire some Destiny and Luck in the process, she also did not want to drag her faction into some conflict beyond their means.

And since she had already detected the loophole in the Dao Oath, Tong Ruobing wanted to be more careful. Maybe, this trial's inheritance was not worth all the effort. Anyways, during this trial, she has benefited greatly.

Her soul mutated, allowing her to use the power of the Origin Talisman better.

Immortal Child Shi Qian was fidgeting inside despite her calm exterior; she did not have the guts to fight any of these geniuses–even with the oath. Her parents were only two loose cultivators lucky enough to be blessed by a Great Emperor and achieve immortality.

Although she appeared noble due to her birth, her background was the worst among all the people present. With her dad's death, her background was further reduced.

'Maybe, I should finally join a sect.'

Her parents have always been proud of the idea of cultivating a mighty Loose Cultivator Emperor. So, she never joined any factions despite always being hunted.

Shi Qian had her pride as a loose cultivator. However, after seeing the participants, she understood the benefit of a powerful faction. It was not just about resources but protection and guidance. If she were from a renowned Emperor Lineage, her mother would not always have to hide and run.

'No, there is no need for a faction. My father and mother are proud of being loose cultivators, and I will make them happy by proving the Dao as one,' she thought with determination. However, she also realized she had little chance of winning this inheritance–unless something extraordinary happened in the last mysterious trial section.

And without the inheritance, she had no chance of proving the Dao in her World Community. The only option left for her was to go to a weaker World Community and prove the Dao. But she did not want to do it.

'Maybe I can ask the final winner to owe them some Karma.'

Light Race Great Emperors had a higher threshold for the number of people they could wash away for. So, she was precious. And if that did not work, she could promise the final winner with her position for Immortal Venerables and Dao Ancestors, thus increasing their factions.

'It's decided. Let's do that.'

Jingwu Hua remained composed, her thoughts only known to her. Although she also wanted to take a bite of Ao Tianyi and get her hands on her bloodline, she did not dare.

Her father was on the upper dimension, and she did not know how he was doing. She did not want to take any actions that could affect or place him in danger. So, she decided just to watch how things unfolded.

Ao Tianyi took his seat with a dazed look; he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at the opposite side or Wang Wei. Then, Lord Spirit spoke: "Who is the next challenger?"

'Are you going to challenge Zhang Yucheng?' asked Wang Wei through Divine Sense.

'Eh, how do you know?'

'You're a swordsman. So, of course, you would challenge him.' _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

'I guess that makes sense. But what do you want?'

'I want to warn you that you are not his opponent. If you want to challenge him, I recommend doing a pure swordsmanship test.'

Wang Wei estimated Ji Lanfang's strength at the peak of 1-Leaf Immortal Venerable. And this was not his limit. The latter was only Tier 8 like him, and by the time he reached a realm similar to Quasi Emperor, his power should reach 3-Leaf. But even then, he would not be Zhang Yucheng's opponent.

The swordsman frowned for a moment, pondering. He took a big gulp from his gourd before saying: "I want to challenge the Taoist Priest."

"Young master Ji, are you sure?" asked Zhang Yucheng.

"I know I may not be your opponent. So, let's do a battle in the Way of the Sword."

"That's fine by me," replied the young Taoist priest as he flew to the sky, and the drunk swordsman followed him.

"My Myriad Sword Soul Physique allows me to learn and use many different Sword Wills," Zhang Yucheng said as he took out a black and white sword. "I've fought and defeated many swordsmen: I've learned from them until I surpassed them."
