Chapter 630: Bai Qiuniang: I Covered His Cost, Zhang Zhen Defeats the Enemy
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Bai Qiuniang stared intently at Chen Changsheng.
After a long while, Bai Qiuniang spoke, “The conditions you offered are very tempting, but why should I believe he can accomplish these things?”
“You should believe, because he is someone I value.”
“Of course, you can also try. If he fails to meet your standards, you can k*ll him at any time.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhen cast a resentful glance at Chen Changsheng.
“Alright, then I’ll give it a try.”
“Whoosh!”
A long spear fell into Bai Qiuniang’s hands.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhen looked at Chen Changsheng for an interrogative gaze.
“What are you looking at me for? Go ahead!”
“Defeating this King of the Night scores ten thousand points.”
After receiving Chen Changsheng’s answer, Zhang Zhen took a deep breath and stepped forward two paces.
Looking at the King of the Night in front of him, Zhang Zhen said, “Before we start, may I ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
“Can he really save me?”
“This person lies constantly, but his fighting skills are undoubtedly exceptional.”
“I don’t know if he can save you, but if even he can’t save you, your chances of survival are slim.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhen nodded.
“I understand.”
“Clang!”
The slender dagger slowly unsheathed, and Zhang Zhen’s momentum underwent a tremendous change at that moment.
“You know my condition. I can’t sustain a full-on battle for long.”
“Limit of ten moves. If I can’t defeat you within ten moves, count it as my loss.”
Once these words were spoken, Bai Qiuniang laughed.
“Hahaha!”
“In so many years, no one has ever said such a thing to me.”
“No problem. If I retreat within ten moves, count it as my loss.”
“Buzz!”
Before her words fell, the long spear in Bai Qiuniang’s hand transformed into a black dragon, rushing toward Zhang Zhen’s face.
Facing such a fierce attack, Zhang Zhen showed no signs of panic as he gripped his kn*fe and charged at Bai Qiuniang.
“Clang clang clang!”
The sound of weapons clashing as fast as a gale echoed in the cave, while Chen Changsheng took out a fruit from somewhere and began to eat it with great interest.
“Bai Qiuniang, King of the Night from the Four Directions Continent.”
“She is someone who fought her way up from the bottom, and her combat experience is extremely seasoned.”
“Although you two are fighting at the same realm now, in terms of experience, you are far behind.”
Listening to Chen Changsheng’s explanation, the moves in their hands changed slightly.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng continued, “Zhang Zhen, a person from the Eight Desolates Nine Domains, comes from a rather ordinary background.”
“Due to special circumstances, his exact talent cannot be determined for the time being, but his kn*fe skills are rare in the world.”
“In a match, he once repelled Dragon Tiger Mountain’s direct disciple, Su Yao, with three strikes.”
“Later, during our duel, he managed to sever a kn*fe from my hand.”
“Although I’ve never seen him use a dagger before, this should be his trump card.”
As his words fell, Zhang Zhen’s momentum changed, and his youthful face instantly aged a few years.
“Buzz!”
The powerful kn*fe energy caused Bai Qiuniang’s long spear to momentarily stagnate.
Seeing this scene, Chen Changsheng’s eyes lit up.
“Wonderful! Truly wonderful!”
Before Chen Changsheng could continue explaining, Zhang Zhen swiftly unleashed eighteen strikes.
Bai Qiuniang, although employing tactics to counter, found that her weapon was deflected whenever it collided with Zhang Zhen’s dagger.
Using her powerful spiritual sense, Bai Qiuniang clearly saw the technique Zhang Zhen was using.
Beyond the apparent moves, at the moment their weapons clashed, the dagger would briefly pull back using the force of the collision, then strike again.
Each time they made contact, Zhang Zhen’s dagger would collide like this ten times.
Honestly speaking, without relying on cultivation advantage, she absolutely could not replicate this bizarre method of exerting force.
“Clang clang clang!”
“Crack!”
The long spear in Bai Qiuniang’s hand broke into two segments, and the slender dagger pressed against Bai Qiuniang’s neck.
“Pant pant pant!”
“You lost!”
At this point, Zhang Zhen was breathing heavily, sweat breaking out on his skin in a light reddish hue.
Looking at Zhang Zhen, who had exhausted all his strength, a hint of curvature appeared at the corner of Bai Qiuniang’s mouth.
“Rapid successive strikes, swift and fierce, the weapon follows the body’s movements.”
“You have indeed grasped the true essence of weapon mastery. Who taught you to use it this way?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhen replied, “Self-taught.”
“Gifted, but what a pity; you are a short-lived ghost.”
Saying this, Bai Qiuniang flicked her finger, causing Zhang Zhen’s dagger to fly out of his hand instantly.
The reason the dagger was pressed against Bai Qiuniang’s neck was not that Zhang Zhen held back, but because he couldn’t break through Bai Qiuniang’s defense.
Although the exchange was brief, both sides were fighting for their lives, and there was absolutely no room for holding back.
Seeing the battle’s conclusion, Chen Changsheng walked over with a pot in hand, smiling at Zhang Zhen.
“True prodigies are often envied by heaven.”
“Much like the White-Haired Sword God of the past. Had it not been for his poor innate talent, he might have gone even further.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng applied the white ointment from the pot onto Zhang Zhen’s arm.
The moment the ointment touched his skin, it was immediately absorbed.
Zhang Zhen’s aging and the loss of vitality were significantly alleviated.
Seeing such a miraculous effect, Zhang Zhen immediately excitedly asked, “What is this thing?”
Before Chen Changsheng could speak, Bai Qiuniang alongside them chimed in.
“The Undertaker’s unique secret medicine, Sky-Replenishing Ointment.”
“It’s said that this recipe was obtained by the Undertaker from the Ancient Forbidden Ground, and after many years of refinement, this Sky-Replenishing Ointment is even stronger than what comes from the Ancient Forbidden Ground.”
“It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s one of a kind in the world.”
“Using the Sky-Replenishing Ointment, regardless of the injury or situation, one can extend their life for seven days.”
“The fact that he can offer you this shows he genuinely wants to save you.”
“However, it’s a pity that the Sky-Replenishing Ointment can only extend your life; it cannot save you.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled, “No wonder you’re the King of the Night; your intelligence-gathering ability is impressive.”
“This Sky-Replenishing Ointment requires ten thousand points, and your current total is fifteen thousand. After deducting ten thousand, you’ll have five thousand left.”
“There’s still a significant gap to the hundred thousand points; keep striving.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng collected the pot from the ground, and Zhang Zhen’s condition was greatly alleviated.
“You’ve seen the situation, can we talk about cooperation now?”
“No.”
“I’m still not sure you can save him.”
“He has no choice but to follow you; I have a choice, so I won’t make an uncertain bet.”
“Then what will it take for you to trust me?”
“Tell me how you intend to save him; I am equally curious.”
“That won’t do. I have an agreement with him; once he reaches fifty thousand points, I’ll reveal the specifics.”
“I covered his cost, and I just want to hear it now.”
“It’s just that I don’t know if you can actually say it.”
As the words fell, Zhang Zhen and Bai Qiuniang gazed at Chen Changsheng.
