Chapter 1475 - 1474: Changing Sides

Chapter 1475: Chapter 1474: Changing Sides

On San Chuan Island, one by one, gazes were all fixed on the figure that fell from mid-air, and the entire atmosphere of the world was plunged into a deathly silence.

Bang!

After floating in the air for a while, Shang Quan Yi Xin’s body finally fell heavily to the ground, making a very dull sound.

At this moment, everyone finally reacted.

Shang Quan Yi Xin, lost!

This family head of the Shangquan Family, a famous big swordsman of Yingzhou, actually lost to Ling Chen!

No one dared to believe this was true, but Shang Quan Yi Xin had already fallen. The bloody reality in front of them forced them to believe!

"Ling Chen won this duel?"

On the Wugong Family’s side, all the strong members of the Wugong Family had a look of disbelief in their eyes. In this duel that seemed so lopsided, Ling Chen actually claimed victory?

Does this mean their Wugong Family was pulled back from the brink of death?

"He actually did it."

Wugong Qian Dai was stunned. She already thought highly of Ling Chen but didn’t expect him to be even more powerful than she imagined. The opponent truly lived up to her idol, achieving something they dared not even think of.

"The family head lost in a one-on-one duel?"

The swordsmen of the Shangquan Family remained in a daze. In their hearts, Shang Quan Yi Xin was an invincible existence. Except for big swordsmen like Liu Sheng Qianbingwei and Beichuan Xiongjie, no one was his match. Yet today, Shang Quan Yi Xin lost to Ling Chen, a junior from the younger generation!

Everyone witnessed this battle clearly, with no tricks involved. Ling Chen didn’t use any deceitful moves. Shang Quan Yi Xin simply lost, and he lost honestly to Ling Chen.

The strong members of the Fengmo Family, including Fengmo Tianchuan, also watched the scene before them in disbelief. They never dreamed Shang Quan Yi Xin would lose to Ling Chen!

Shang Quan Yi Xin himself, struggling to get up from the ground, propped himself with the Long Knife and looked at Ling Chen in shock. Everyone else couldn’t believe he lost, but he was merely shocked — not by his defeat but by the power of Ling Chen’s last sword!

Such power was too strong for him to withstand head-on, which is why he was defeated!

Why did such terrifying power erupt from a mere Second Realm Saint Path guy? Although most of the reason was probably because of the strange Demon Sword in Ling Chen’s hand, the final result was that he lost!

"Did I win?"

Looking at Shang Quan Yi Xin, who had basically lost his combat power ahead, Ling Chen suddenly raised a slight arc at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the killing move executed with the Soul Destroying Sword in the end had the anticipated effect. Even with Shang Quan Yi Xin’s strength, he couldn’t stop the Thunder Swallow: One Flash unleashed by the Soul Destroying Sword!

Puff!

After a breath of relief, Ling Chen suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood. The backlash from the Soul Destroying Sword was no joke. Fortunately, after executing the killing move, his body couldn’t withstand this backlash, and the Soul Destroying Sword flew out uncontrollably. If such a mistake had occurred while brewing the killing move, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

This time, when Ling Chen used the Soul Destroying Sword, he wasn’t entirely sure, not even 50% sure. He was taking a gamble in his heart. Since things had come to this point, he figured he might as well gamble and give it a shot!

The final result was that he won the bet.

But rather than saying Ling Chen was gambling on luck, it’s more accurate to say he was gambling with his own body. He bet he could exceed his limits and successfully execute the killing move, because for a genius, the potential of the body has no limits. Ling Chen believed that when he exploded with full force, all impossible things would become possible, even if there was only a 30% chance. That would turn into seventy or eighty percent, or even a hundred percent, infallible!

"Family Head of the Shangquan, you lost. According to the duel’s stipulation, members of the Shangquan Family and the Fengmo Clan must unconditionally withdraw from San Chuan Island and must not invade the Wugong Family again!"

Ling Chen’s gaze was fixed on Shang Quan Yi Xin, and his calm voice echoed in this world.

"Damn it, family head, don’t agree to him!"

A strong member of the Shangquan Family couldn’t swallow this bitterness and shouted from the crowd.

"Shut up!"

Shang Quan Yi Xin glared at that person, then turned back to Ling Chen, with his eyes slightly sinking, and said, "Rest assured, our Shangquan Family stands on the foundation of trust and righteousness. Since I lost, I will naturally fulfill my promise."

Hearing this, Ling Chen looked at Shang Quan Yi Xin with newfound respect. He didn’t expect this person to be quite trustworthy. If it were the Fengmo Clan, they probably wouldn’t do the same.

"Everyone, evacuate San Chuan Island!"

Shang Quan Yi Xin commanded the troops of the two families, and his vigorous voice spread through the air.

Under Shang Quan Yi Xin’s orders, the strong members of the Shangquan Family, although looking somewhat reluctant, still obeyed the command and began working on withdrawing from the Wugong Family’s territory. However, it was only the powerful members of the Shangquan Family who retreated. The Fengmo Clan’s people stood motionless, showing no intention of retreating.

"Fengmo Clan Leader, didn’t you hear what I said?"

Seeing the unmoving members of the Fengmo Clan, Shang Quan Yi Xin couldn’t help but frown.

"This is a duel between the Shangquan Family and the Wugong Family, it has nothing to do with our Fengmo Clan."

Fengmo Tianchuan’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, then he said, "Since the Shangquan Family Head lost in the duel, just take your Shangquan Family people and leave quickly. Leave the next matters to our Fengmo Clan."

"What did you say?"

Shang Quan Yi Xin’s eyes sank; from the tone of the opposing side, they had no intention of retreating. Not only that, they wanted to reap the benefits without doing any work, to monopolize the inheritance of the Cloud Monarch and the Gilded Iron Ore veins from Ling Chen?

"This shameless old thief, you agreed to the duel, how can you renege, this is breaking the rules!"

On the Wugong Family’s side, initially exuberant Wugong Shou He and others, one by one, turned bleak. No one expected Fengmo Tianchuan to be so treacherous and shameless.

"Rules?"

Fengmo Tianchuan sneered, his face full of sneer, "Only the weak believe in rules. In the eyes of the strong, the so-called rules are worthless. Even if the rules are broken, who can do anything to me?"

"Fengmo Tianchuan, you accepted the duel earlier. You agreed. I don’t just represent the Shangquan Family but also your Fengmo Clan. Now you’re going back on your word, placing me in a difficult position?"

Shang Quan Yi Xin said coldly.

The reputation of the Fengmo Clan was already bad, so doing more despicable things wouldn’t matter, but their Shangquan Family was a martial arts sect that had been passed down for a thousand years. Such despicable acts could not be endorsed by Shang Quan Yi Xin. Moreover, he fought a fierce battle with Ling Chen and ended up seriously injured, while the Fengmo Clan wanted to reap the rewards and monopolize all benefits. How could such a good thing exist in this world?
