Chapter 97

Nanbeichao, this rising star of Qizhou, did not consider rules to be of much importance. Not only did he not take the rules of the Qizhou competition seriously, he could disregard any rules of Qizhou altogether.

Trying to bind Nanbeichao with rules was impossible. Jiang Chen had never thought of it that way. Nanbeichao was a dragon among men, born with great fortune, with an aura of imperial dominance above his head. Such a genius, whose future achievements were limitless, was like the super genius on the Divine Continent, who did not even care about the heavens.

Nanbeichao considered himself to be high and mighty, and no one could infringe upon him. Therefore, he wanted to kill Jiang Chen, and make him die on his knees.

"It's over, it's all over now."

"Nanbeichao is too arrogant, he doesn't allow anyone to desecrate his dignity. Now even Guan Yiyun can't protect Jiang Chen."

"The key is that Nanbeichao is too strong. Guan Yiyun is already very strong, but he is not a match for Nanbeichao. I guess Nanbeichao can even contend with experts at the Divine Pill Realm."

"Such a person only appears once in a thousand years. Qizhou has never produced one. He is the greatest pride of the Burning Heaven Pavilion, completely ignoring any rules."

...

Countless people sighed, Nanbeichao was too domineering, and there was no way to resist him. Jiang Chen was finished; he would not survive today, no matter what. Nanbeichao wanted to kill him, and no one could save him. Even Bloodwing's escape would be useless; no one could escape from Nanbeichao.

"Get lost!"

Nanbeichao's demeanor was strong, and he coldly said one word to Guan Yiyun.

"Nanbeichao, don't think you can act without any restraint."

Guan Yiyun was furious. Even a clay figure would have some temper. As the leader of the Xuan Yi Sect this time, even if he was not a match for Nanbeichao, he could not stand by and watch the Xuan Yi Sect members be slaughtered by Nanbeichao.

Liang Xiao stood to the side with a cold smile, completely adopting a spectator's attitude. He wanted to see how Guan Yiyun would block Nanbeichao.

At this moment, a large hand pressed on Guan Yiyun's shoulder from behind. It was Jiang Chen's hand. Jiang Chen walked out from behind Guan Yiyun and stood in front of Nanbeichao.

Jiang Chen was dressed in white, with a faint smile on his face. His robe and hair fluttered in the wind caused by Nanbeichao's aura, but the smile on his face did not change. His eyes were sharp, and he stared at Nanbeichao. Just in terms of demeanor, he was not at all inferior to Nanbeichao.

"Great demeanor, just this courage alone makes Jiang Chen remarkable."

"This person's character is truly formidable, completely out of proportion to his age. He doesn't seem to be afraid that Nanbeichao will kill him with one slap."

Everyone was moved. Even Guan Yiyun did not expect Jiang Chen to have such courage, facing Nanbeichao so calmly without any fear.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Nanbeichao's eyes were like cold knives, cutting into Jiang Chen's face. He did not move to kill Jiang Chen. His arrogance made him want to know why Jiang Chen could stand so calmly in front of him, and why he did not kneel to him.

"Why should I be afraid of you? It's you who should be afraid of me."

Jiang Chen sneered.

"Me afraid of you? Ha, what a joke, a huge joke. Do you believe that I can crush you like an ant with just one finger?"

Nanbeichao laughed loudly. This was absolutely the funniest joke he had ever heard.

"Because you know that my potential is not inferior to yours, and might even surpass yours. That's why you are eager to kill me, afraid that I will grow up and come back to kill you."

Jiang Chen said each word clearly. These words reached the ears of everyone present, making them admire Jiang Chen's courage. At the same time, many people thought that Jiang Chen's words had some truth to them.

"Jiang Chen is right. Based on his potential today, he is not inferior to Nanbeichao, and might even surpass him. It's not impossible for him to surpass Nanbeichao in the future. Is it possible that Nanbeichao is really afraid of Jiang Chen growing up and is eager to kill him?"

"Ha, what a joke. Does Nanbeichao need a reason to kill someone? But Jiang Chen's existence does pose a certain threat to him."

The murmurs of the crowd reached Nanbeichao's ears, undoubtedly stimulating his proud heart. If he really killed Jiang Chen today, wouldn't he be branded as being afraid of Jiang Chen?

"Jiang Chen, you must understand that in front of me, you are just an ant. With my noble identity, talking to you here is already an honor for you. I don't need a reason to kill you."

Nanbeichao always maintained a high and mighty attitude, exuding nobility from head to toe, as if he were the only noble in the world.

"Nanbeichao, put away your nobility. In front of me, don't show off your nobility. Don't think you are the greatest genius in the world. Give me a year, and we'll see who wins."

Jiang Chen snorted, his demeanor equally arrogant. His performance made many people tremble with fear. He was probably the first person to be so arrogant in front of Nanbeichao, and he did it so naturally, without any fear. Just this courage alone was enough to make people marvel and admire.

"Ha ha ha..."

Nanbeichao suddenly burst into laughter. He took a step forward, almost touching Jiang Chen, and said coldly, "Jiang Chen, you are very smart, trying to save your life with this trick. Congratulations, you have succeeded. I will give you a year. After a year, we will have a decisive battle. I want to see how much you can grow in a year."

After saying this, Nanbeichao turned and soared into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye. At the same time, his voice came down again, "Jiang Chen, a year's life, cherish it well."

Jiang Chen's expression did not change, but he felt relieved inside. In today's situation, no one could save him except for this method.

Jiang Chen's keen eyesight allowed him to see what kind of person Nanbeichao was. Such a person was arrogant from head to toe, with a nobility that came from the depths of his bones, and would not look up to anyone.

Therefore, he used a year to bet on Nanbeichao's arrogance. He was sure that Nanbeichao would yield. There were too many people here, and the Qizhou competition almost represented the entire Qizhou. If Nanbeichao still killed him after he said such words, it would mean that he was afraid of him.

The proud Nanbeichao would not be afraid of anyone, so he left, leaving a one-year agreement.

"Wow, Nanbeichao just left like that. Jiang Chen is really amazing, daring to make a one-year agreement. In a year, even if he is a genius, he can't possibly be a match for Nanbeichao."

"Exactly, this Jiang Chen is too arrogant, only giving himself a year. He is only at the early stage of the Human Pill Realm. Even if Nanbeichao's cultivation does not advance in a year, Jiang Chen can't reach that level."

"Ah, just living for another year, he will still be killed by Nanbeichao in the end."

"I am actually interested in this one-year agreement. Jiang Chen doesn't seem like a rash person. Let's wait and see. In a year, there will be a good show."

"Yes, the battle between Jiang Chen and Nanbeichao will be the biggest highlight of Qizhou. In a year, it will still be lively. Jiang Chen joining the Xuan Yi Sect will definitely get better resources and be cultivated as a priority."

Everyone was sighing. Today's Qizhou competition had many twists and turns, and it ended in this way.

Clearly, Jiang Chen was the biggest winner of this competition. An unknown wandering cultivator emerged as a dark horse, sweeping through the outer disciples of the four major sects, and won first place, making a name for himself.

The name Jiang Chen would soon spread throughout Qizhou, known by everyone.

There were too many unexpected things in this Qizhou competition. Who would have thought that the champion everyone thought would be, ended up being brutally killed, split in two. Who would have thought that the prodigy Ling Ao would be decapitated.

For the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Burning Heaven Pavilion, the deaths of Li Wushuang and Ling Ao were a huge loss.

As for the Bliss Valley, they played the role of a spectator in this competition. In fact, the Bliss Valley was only strong in overall strength, but their cultivation of dual cultivation techniques was considered a heretical path, making it difficult to produce very strong geniuses. In the history of the Qizhou competition, the Bliss Valley had never won first place.

From Qingzi's surrender, it could be seen that once their seduction techniques were ineffective, they lost their greatest advantage.

"Hmph! One-year agreement, we'll see if you can live for a year."

Liang Xiao snorted and turned to leave. At this moment, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect stepped forward, "Senior Brother Liang, this Jiang Chen is with that big yellow dog. Make him hand over the dog."

"Huh? The dog that released the demon beasts from the Demon Suppressing Tower?"

Liang Xiao was taken aback. He had heard about the Demon Suppressing Tower incident. Indeed, a vicious dog had caused chaos in the outer sect recently.

"Yes, that dead dog."

The disciple said through gritted teeth.

"Jiang Chen, hand over that dog."

Liang Xiao turned to look at Jiang Chen.

"Liang Xiao, what dog? Don't make trouble without reason."

Guan Yiyun said unhappily.

"Guan Yiyun, you can protect Jiang Chen, but do you want to protect a dog as well? If you don't hand over the dog today, don't blame me for taking action."

Liang Xiao was already full of anger. He couldn't kill Jiang Chen, and if he couldn't even get a dog, he would be frustrated to death.

The crowd, which was about to disperse, turned their attention back to the center of the square. It seemed that the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Xuan Yi Sect were going to fight over a dog.

"That dog is here."

Someone in the crowd shouted, the same person who had lost the bet with the big yellow dog.

Brush!

As soon as this person spoke, several disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect rushed over.
