After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 44

Silence enveloped the surroundings as if death itself had descended!

Seeing the mountain now reduced to half its size, everyone wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost!

“…”

Zhou Jian swallowed hard, thinking to himself.

If Zhang Lingfeng hadn’t intervened, would he now be like that mountain, dead and dismembered?

Li Fadu’s expression was extremely grave.

The spectacle he had just witnessed was too exaggerated!

Although a sword strike capable of splitting a mountain could be achieved by him, a peak Heavenly Origin realm swordsman, he certainly couldn’t have caused such a grand scene nor could he have invoked a vision of the heavens and earth!

Such a powerful sword technique was unheard of. It couldn’t even be classified within the known levels of sword techniques!

His ancient sword had now completely quieted down, showing no further anomalies.

After placing it back into the sword case, he looked incredulously towards Jiang Chen and asked,

“Where did you learn this ancient Way of the Sword?”

Before Jiang Chen could respond, Zhou Jian instinctively inquired.

“What does the ancient Way of the Sword mean?”

“Literally, it’s the Way of the Sword from ancient times.”

Zhang Lingfeng elaborated, “As for how far back the ancient times are, I do not know.”

“The only thing I know is that before the Ten Great Emperors came into being, this world was in constant turmoil among various races, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood everywhere.”

“The ancient Way of the Sword, secret manuals, and techniques were created by the humans, demons, ghosts, and devils of that era. Their power far exceeds anyone’s imagination, but for some reason, most have been lost to time.”

“To give you a better idea, let me provide an example…”

“Among the Ten Great Emperors, there was an ancient emperor who, it is said, obbtained an ancient cultivation technique, thereby attaining his imperial status!”

Hiss—!

Upon hearing these last words, everyone in the audience gasped!

Could something from ancient times actually help one ascend to the throne so smoothly?

Could it be comparable to imperial essence?!

It was terrifying!

After their astonishment, the crowd’s faces turned bitter.

Before, they didn’t know how strong Jiang Chen, their Eldest Senior Brother, was, but they had no choice but to submit to his imposing presence.

Now, knowing his strength, wouldn’t their future days be even more difficult?

“What are you talking about? What ancient Way of the Sword? I’ve never heard of it.”

Jiang Chen suddenly spoke up, “This sword technique came to me in a dream, and there’s only one move. Peak Master Zhang, isn’t it a bit beneath your dignity to interrupt a spar like this?”

The corner of Zhang Lingfeng’s mouth twitched.

Could he not have interrupted the spar?

Under the circumstances just now, Zhou Jian would have been done for if he hadn’t stepped in!

“I… I concede.”

Zhou Jian responded immediately while cupping his fist in salute.

“Hmm, good.”

Jiang Chen smiled contentedly, then his tone shifted.

“You don’t need to be discouraged. After all, the gap between us is just a little too big! If it weren’t for my fondness of bullying the weak, you wouldn’t even qualify to fight me.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jian felt a surge of annoyance in his heart.

But quickly, that annoyance turned into helplessness, into disappointment.

Although Jiang Chen’s words were infuriating, they were an undeniable truth.

Everyone had seen the fight, and compared to Jiang Chen, he was indeed too weak.

“Did you just say that you learned that ancient sword technique in a dream?”

Zhang Lingfeng’s questioning voice rang out.

“Did I say that?”

Jiang Chen feigned confusion.

“You did!”

“Oh, then you might have heard wrong. Actually, I figured it out myself.”

“What, you figured it out yourself?!”

“Yeah, but it was during a dream.”

“Is it really that amazing?”

“Just a trivial thing for me.”

“Would you die if you didn’t show off?”

“Would you die if you didn’t ask so much?”

“…”

Zhang Lingfeng’s expression darkened

Jiang Chen was spouting nonsense, leaving him completely unsure which statement was true!

Seeing this, Xiao Hongyi floated over and asked, “Disciple, tell your master honestly. How can you cultivate such a superior grade secret technique and also understand the ancient Way of the Sword?”

“Replying to Master.”

Jiang Chen straightened his expression, speaking earnestly, “I’m not entirely sure myself, but one thing I can confirm is…”

“One thing you can confirm is?”

“That night, I slept with the personal belongings of the Third Junior Sister and the Fifth Junior Sister as my pillow, and then I comprehended this ancient sword technique!”

“…”

Xiao Hongyi was also stunned.

She felt that Jiang Chen was talking nonsense, but at the same time, she believed it was something Jiang Chen would do!

For a moment, she too found it hard to distinguish truth from falsehood.

“If Master doesn’t believe me, you could give me some of your personal belongings to sleep with for ten or eight years, and I should be able to comprehend the second move of the ancient sword technique!”

Jiang Chen said with a straight face.

Xiao Hongyi’s expression darkened.

If it weren’t for the fact that Jiang Chen had indeed made a name for Ninth Peak today, she would have shown him what ‘Master’s wrath’ was!

Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s figure swayed, and he clutched his head, “Master, I feel dizzy.”

Seeing him about to fall, Xiao Hongyi quickly went to support him and reminding him, “That ancient sword technique is too powerful, and using it with your cultivation level indeed give you a big burden. You should use it less in the future.”

“Mmm.”

Jiang Chen nodded, taking the opportunity to fall into his master’s arms.

He wasn’t faking his dizziness, but taking advantage of the situation was a basic operation!

【Host’s actions conform to the villain’s character setting, reward: one Xiao Hongyi’s silkworm white ice silk】

F*ck! Jiang Chen was instantly startled! This reward was too thrilling! Especially since he was still in Xiao Hongyi’s arms!

If he were to be discovered like last time…

With that thought, Jiang Chen couldn’t care less about his dizziness and prepared to make a quick escape!

But just then…

No sooner had he lifted his head than Xiao Hongyi pressed it back down!

“What are you fussing about? Your vital energy is depleted, and your blood is drained. You’ll cause lasting damage to your body if you force yourself to move!” Xiao Hongyi chided softly.

What a wonderful master!

Jiang Chen was deeply moved.

As her disciple, how could he let his master down?

With this thought in mind, he nuzzled his head a bit and then wore a face of enjoyment.

This gesture made Xiao Hongyi’s face turn red.

From a distance, Jiang Lianyue saw this and her brows furrowed tightly.

She approached with a frosty expression, grabbed Jiang Chen’s arm, and began to pull him away forcefully!

“Junior Sister, what are you doing? Senior Brother is dizzy! Go play with mud.”

Jiang Chen remained immovable.

“Lianyue, stop this nonsense!”

Xiao Hongyi’s face turned stern, “I know you have grievances against Jiang Chen, but today he fought for the Ninth Peak. Let him rest properly.”

Jiang Lianyue kept a cold face and did not reply.

Seeing that she couldn’t pull him away with strength alone, she summoned her vital energy, channeling it all into her fair arm! Then she pulled even harder! And then…

There was a “rip” sound.

Jiang Chen’s black sleeve was torn off by her!

“If you keep this up, I won’t be gentle with you anymore!”

Jiang Chen was furious and cursed.

Xiao Hongyi shook her head helplessly and began to tidy up his clothes: “You are the Eldest Senior Brother. You know her condition, so why bother with your Junior Sister? Today you indeed worked hard and made progress, I am very pleas…”

Before she could finish the word ‘pleased’, she pulled out a white silk from Jiang Chen’s clothes!

The white silk was very familiar. it was made from heavenly silkworm ice silk, and just a slight touch could make one feel a chill.

Looking at the white silk in her hand, Xiao Hongyi blinked in confusion.

Immediately after.

“Jiang Chen! You even stole your master’s personal item?!”

Xiao Hongyi was furious, her voice echoing around!

F*ck! Jiang Chen was speechless.

This dog system and this cursed villain aura always brought him these coincidences and these troubles!

Seeing Xiao Hongyi on the verge of rage, he quickly said.

“Master, listen to my excuses… no, I’m not making excuses… I mean, let me explain…”
