Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Abandoning the Sword to Save One’s Life

Xiang Junyi did not know that the Sword Control Technique was a mere trifle to Qin Yi.

The Flood Dragon Spear could attack on its own, so why would he need a clone to control it?

Qin Yi strolled casually forward, leisurely as if in a garden, stopping five meters from Xiang Junyi, looking at him with a teasing smile.

Xiang Junyi showed a look of panic; if Qin Yi attacked now, he would surely lose.

Xiang Junyi changed his sword technique, trying to recall the longsword.

However, the Flood Dragon Spear was like an insurmountable chasm, knocking Xiang Junyi’s sword out of the air again and again.

Clang, clang...!

In the air, Qin Yi’s Big Halberd, as if alive, continually knocked away the longsword trying to return to Xiang Junyi.

Qin Yi’s face bore a wicked smile, full of mockery.

"Xiang Junyi, if I attacked now, could you fend it off?"

Even though Xiang Junyi was panicked, he still smirked and said, "Can you focus on attacking me while using the Qi Manipulation Technique?"

Qin Yi laughed, full of disdain: "Just because you can’t multitask doesn’t mean others can’t. What you can’t do doesn’t mean others can’t either. Just like how you think what I’m about to do is impossible, but to me, it’s not difficult at all."

Xiang Junyi kept a straight face, Qin Yi’s casual control of the Big Halberd while leisurely chatting with him clearly demonstrated the other’s superior Sword Control Technique.

"Xiang Junyi, are you ready? I’m going to attack."

As he finished speaking, Qin Yi clenched his fist and punched out, the Fist Light rolling like thunder.

Xiang Junyi’s hair stood on end, not expecting Qin Yi could attack while controlling the Big Halberd.

The violent Fist Light tore through the air, scraping painfully against his cheeks.

Xiang Junyi could no longer focus on the sword; he abandoned it, frantically channeling his cultivation to block Qin Yi’s punch.

Boom!

Unfortunately, the force he gathered was directly destroyed by the Fist Light; the storm swept him away, crashing dozens of meters away.

Xiang Junyi wasn’t injured because he clearly felt Qin Yi retract his power at the last moment.

But he had a severe cleanliness habit; when he hit the ground, rolling a few times, he was covered with grass and dirt, making his hair stand on end.

The uncontrolled longsword was knocked away by the Flood Dragon Spear, shooting out and nailing into the villa’s outer wall, penetrating three inches, the sword body quivering incessantly.

Xiang Dongliu was full of panic and rushed over quickly: "Junyi, are you alright?"

Liu Yiren looked unmoved; Xiang Junyi’s loss was expected, nothing surprising.

Xiang Junyi pushed away his father’s outstretched hand; his cleanliness was such that even his father couldn’t touch him. He got up from the ground: "I’m fine! Thanks to Qin Yi’s mercy."

Xiang Dongliu looked at Qin Yi, slightly bowing, expressing his gratitude.

Xiang Junyi looked at Qin Yi, his expression still proud: "I lost. I am willing to follow you."

Qin Yi appeared indifferent: "Actually, I suddenly feel you’re not suitable to follow me. You’re really unworthy of being ranked eighty."

Xiang Junyi’s face flushed with anger: "Qin Yi, I’ve lost, but that doesn’t mean you can humiliate me!"

"You’re mistaken! Someone who abandons their sword to save their life, not cherishing their weapon, is not worth humiliating. Weapons are the Qi Refiner’s closest companions; how can I trust someone who abandons their closest companion not to abandon me in danger?"

"Xiang Junyi, I need a comrade to fight shoulder to shoulder, to share life and death. Clearly, you are not."

Qin Yi’s gaze at that moment was colder than Xiang Junyi’s, his expression even more composed. However, in his heart, he felt utterly contemptuous of himself; the words he spoke made even him want to retch.

No matter how precious a sword was, no human life was worth less. What nonsense is sacrificing oneself for a sword? If he could save himself by destroying a sword, Qin Yi would do it without hesitation or regret.

Of course, he said this to crush Xiang Junyi’s proud and pitiful self-esteem.

Qin Yi’s words had an effect, causing Xiang Junyi’s face to flush red and white, unable to bear the shame.

To him, Qin Yi’s words rang true, akin to a soldier dropping their gun on the battlefield, an act of cowardice.

Noticing the disdain and scorn in Qin Yi’s eyes, Xiang Junyi couldn’t even lift his head in shame.

"Yiren, let’s go!"

Qin Yi sneered, recalling the Flood Dragon Spear, and started walking out with Liu Yiren.

Xiang Junyi opened his mouth, but left his words unsaid.

"Qin Yi?" Finally, he gathered enough courage to shout: "I want to follow you, to fight by your side, through life and death."

Qin Yi didn’t pause, as if he hadn’t heard.

Xiang Junyi dropped his head in disappointment.

"Xiang Junyi, you have a few months to think about it, don’t let Qin Yi decide. If, when I need you, you’re willing to follow me, I’d welcome you warmly," Qin Yi’s distant voice echoed as he disappeared from the estate.

Xiang Junyi suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with joy.

"Junyi, do you really want to follow Qin Yi?" Xiang Dongliu frowned.

Xiang Junyi nodded slightly: "I’ve made up my mind. I have a long road ahead, and as a genius, I must do what geniuses do."

"Most importantly, I want to defeat Qin Yi."

...

...

"Are we just leaving like this?" Liu Yiren looked at Qin Yi suspiciously.

"Why? Want to stay for a meal?"

"No. Xiang Junyi clearly agreed to follow you, why not seize the chance to win him over?"

Qin Yi chuckled: "He’s already won over."

"What do you mean?"

"Xiang Junyi is aloof, cold, and holds himself in high regard. Losing to me today, he’ll surely set the goal of defeating me."

Liu Yiren nodded, semi-understanding.

"My brain is dull; if you say he’s won over, then he’s won over."

Qin Yi smiled wryly: "Even the smartest people face a time when they have no solution."

"What do you mean?"

"Like right now, we have to walk down the mountain. Misjudged; we should’ve asked for a car earlier."

Liu Yiren: "..."

"Idiots, building an estate halfway up a mountain!"

Qin Yi said: "To flaunt status."

"Then why not build it at the top?"

"Afraid of getting struck by lightning."

Liu Yiren rolled her eyes: "Though I don’t understand, you must be talking nonsense."

Qin Yi smiled: "Let’s hurry down the mountain, or we won’t reach the hotel before nightfall."

"Who knows, maybe we’ll run into a car soon."

Qin Yi chuckled: "Dream on. This godforsaken place is Xiang Family’s territory, likely no one dares to come here."

Just as Qin Yi’s voice faded, he suddenly focused ahead and let out a light ’huh.’

Liu Yiren, looking at the fiery red supercar coming up from below, said smugly: "See? My luck is always good."

"Lucky my foot! That car only seats two, but there are three of us."

"No problem! You can walk; I’ll ride."

Qin Yi: "..."

This kid’s gotten naughty.
