Chapter 884 - 884: Meridian Expansion Level 6

The power of this sword actually exceeded what the Meridian Expansion Fourth Layer could exert, almost reaching the strength of the Meridian Expansion Fifth Layer!

Perhaps it was because he had just broken through!

Although Sun Qi was furious, she had held back a lot of strength.

After all, she just wanted to teach him a lesson, not take his life!

But seeing Su Chen's formidable strength, she turned serious, though it also excited her battle spirit!

Evading Su Chen's sword, she thrust her sword forward. This time, her attack was different!

Sword blossoms flashed radiantly after she thrust her sword, blooming brilliantly under the moonlight!

The sword blossoms then converged and transformed into an illusory sword shadow, with sword qi bursting forth!

Wherever the sword shadow passed, the void quaked, and a vacuum formed around the sword blade!

"Damn, so strong?!"

Su Chen was startled by this sword and didn't dare hide his strength anymore, hastily swinging his sword horizontally!

Equally brilliant sword aura burst out, with powerful sword qi rushing towards her sword qi!

"Boom!"

The two sword qis clashed, causing an earth-shattering explosion!

Thankfully, there were no residents nearby, or they would have been startled awake!

Su Chen was forced back a few steps by the sword qi, feeling a tumult in his chest and abdomen!

Sun Qi fared slightly better but had to take a step back to steady herself!

"Meridian Expansion Sixth Layer?!"

Sun Qi gaped at Su Chen in shock, her mouth wide open in disbelief!

Su Chen's displayed strength of the Meridian Expansion Fifth Layer had already surprised her, but she hadn't expected him to hide his strength more!

One should know that the strength gap between each layer of the Meridian Expansion Realm was significant, not just seemingly close on the surface!

She felt that his strength was even beyond the Meridian Expansion Sixth Layer, nearing the Meridian Expansion Seventh Layer!

How could this be? It was simply too incredible!

After all, as the steward of Lingyue Palace, she was only at that realm!

Her slight advantage earlier was because he seemed to have just reached this realm, with unstable strength!

Given more time, it would probably be a fifty-fifty match!

Su Chen was equally shocked; although he had known from the start that this woman was no ordinary person, he hadn't expected her to be so strong!

Who was this powerful woman?

She didn't seem like someone from the Judgment Department or Shengyi Gate, yet she appeared to hold a grudge against him!

But her initial attacks had shown restraint, clearly intending to teach rather than kill!

Su Chen was totally bewildered by this woman, feeling inexplicable!

"Who the hell are you? Even if you want to fight or kill me, at least let me know why!"

Su Chen asked, feeling vexed.

"Fine, I'll let you know!"

Although Su Chen's strength far exceeded her expectations, Sun Qi had yet to vent her anger. She looked coldly at Su Chen and said:

"Tell me, since you have a wife, why did you still try to seduce our lady?"

"Seduce your lady? Where did that come from?"

Su Chen was even more bewildered:

"I don't even know who your lady is, how could I have seduced her?"

"You ungrateful wretch! Our lady just gave you two treasures, the Mysterious Ice Flower and Ghost Beard Grass, and you forgot so quickly?!"

Sun Qi said coldly.

"You're from Lingyue Palace?"

Su Chen widened his eyes in disbelief upon hearing her words!

"Indeed, I am the steward of Lingyue Palace, Sun Qi!"

Sun Qi said, staring at Su Chen.

Realizing this, Su Chen finally understood why she was so strong; she was the steward of Lingyue Palace!

"Now you understand!"

Sun Qi still looked at Su Chen coldly.

"I still don't understand."

Su Chen shook his head:

"You said I seduced your lady, when did I ever do that?"

"Still won't admit it! Have you seen our lady bathing?!"

Sun Qi, hearing him deny it, became furious again!

Raising her sword, she was about to attack again!

"Wait, wait! Sister, listen to me!"

Seeing her stance, Su Chen hurriedly stopped her.

This time he didn't dare address her as 'miss' or 'big sis,' choosing 'sister' directly!

If it were anyone else, he'd fight, but against a Lingyue Palace member, how could he fight?

They had given him the precious Mysterious Ice Flower and Ghost Beard Grass, especially the Mysterious Ice Flower, which had saved Hanbing's life!

"What else do you have to say?"

Sun Qi's eyes narrowed, but she had no issue with his term of address!

"Sister, I did see your lady, but it was a misunderstanding!"

Seeing no opposition to 'sister,' Su Chen continued:

"Here and now, I sincerely apologize to Lingyue Palace and your lady, but as for seducing, it never happened!"

"This is a total insult to our integrity. While my reputation doesn't matter, your lady's innocence must not be tarnished!"

Su Chen said earnestly.

"Sharp-tongued!"

Sun Qi immediately asked:

"If you didn't seduce our lady, why can't she forget you?"

"Can't forget me? Are you joking?"

Su Chen was further baffled by Sun Qi's words.

That girl couldn't forget him? What a joke!

He found it hard to believe this woman in the purple dress.

"Do you think I'd joke about such things?"

Sun Qi's tone remained harsh, though she also began to question if outside the misunderstanding, everything was her lady's one-sided feelings.

If that was the case, it would complicate matters!

"Sister, I swear, I really didn't seduce your lady!"

Su Chen raised a hand solemnly.

He now felt a bit helpless, realizing this powerhouse had caused him so much trouble over this!

What was going on?

"Is that really true?"

Sun Qi asked coldly again, but Su Chen could tell her attitude had softened!

"Absolutely, true as gold!"

Su Chen replied firmly, his face resolute!

Sun Qi sighed, realizing it was just her lady's unrequited love!

She'd have to talk to her lady back home...

"You'd better be telling the truth. If I find you're lying, hmm!"

Saying so, Sun Qi sheathed her sword and turned to leave.

"I wouldn't dare!"

Su Chen quickly said. Watching her leave, he heaved a sigh of relief...

Shaking his head, he walked back, thinking: What was all that about?

Remembering Sun Qi's claim that Ling Yao couldn't forget him, he felt inexplicably pleased.

This was a common flaw of men; who wouldn't be happy to hear a beauty liked them?

Of course, it stopped there, not meaning he intended to pursue her...
