"I still seem to be underestimating you, do you have any other powers you're still hiding?" The girl tilted her head, she was now no longer surprised in case Jian Chen used any other techniques.
"Do you want to take this on a killing path, I told you all this was a misunderstanding." Jian Chen narrowed his eyes.
"What makes you think I'm gonna let you get away with it?"
"I don't want to kill you, which is why I'm trying to communicate."
"So you mean you can kill me anytime, you're really arrogant!"
The girl looked offended by Jian Chen's words, without waiting any longer for him to come forward and attack with both of his swords.
The two again exchanged attacks with Jian Chen who still dominated the fight.
The girl clucked in annoyance, should she admit Jian Chen's sword comprehension was above her. The girl took a deep breath before taking it out of her mouth, she used another breathing sword technique.
"Flower Sword Technique — Evening Orchid Spoons!"
Jian Chen frowned as the girl's body split into five, Jian Chen did not know if all the shadows of the girl's body were real or just an illusion.
Jian Chen inhaled his breath and then poured a deep force into his mouth before being transformed into energy, immediately Jian Chen spouted a large amount of water in his mouth.
"Elemental Water — Breath Blowing Water!"
The girl was shocked by Jian Chen's sudden attack, her five bodies were pushed away as the water pressure hit her body, even the fire sword that the girl was holding became extinguished for a moment.
Jian Chen managed to leave a wide distance between the two, although it did not hurt but the impact of the water made the girl's dress drenched.
The girl snorted in annoyance, no matter the condition and her wet hair she instantly exerted even more profound power on her sword before releasing waves of fire and ice from a distance.
In response to this Jian Chen was still calm, he fended off all of his opponent's attacks with sword rules, the energy wave was immediately absorbed on Jian Chen's sword.
Surprised from the girl, she had previously been hunted by emotion but this time she saw it clearly that Jian Chen's sword was absorbing the energy or moves he was using.
The same reason made him understand why his inner energy was unnaturally reduced.
"You, don't tell me that heirloom..."
"Oh, you realized it sooner..." Jian Chen snorted coldly.
The girl's face stiffened, she had never heard of an heirloom being able to do such a thing.
Jian Chen suddenly narrowed the distance between the two, he used the eclipse sword technique and appeared behind the girl.
Jian Chen's quick movements were almost hard to follow with the girl's eyes but fortunately he quickly noticed it through his sharp instincts.
Jian Chen's sword swing immediately swung at the girl who was immediately quickly restrained by his two swords. The girl suddenly felt her hand ache after enduring Jian Chen's attack.
Not yet the girl prepared Jian Chen had already swung another sword, this time Jian Chen took the initiative to attack first.
Jian Chen's sword speed and comprehension made the girl not wince so much that she was in a defensive position, not to mention that she felt her profound strength decrease every time the swords of the two clashed.
One of Jian Chen's swings was directed towards his opponent's neck but when it was a moment apart Jian Chen stopped the swing of the sword.
The action of Jian Chen stopping the attack made the girl have the opportunity to take some distance with him while taking a breath.
"Why didn't you kill me?" The girl was still adjusting her irregular breathing.
"I told you, this is a misunderstanding." Jian Chen let out a long breath. "How many times have I said that so that you can trust me-!"
"You've seen my body, deliberately or not covered you've seen it." The girl still insisted Jian Chen was the one at fault here.
Jian Chen smiled faintly, he did not dodge or refute it as he slightly looked at the curves of the girl's body. "So what do you want instead so that I can break through all my mistakes?"
The girl narrowed her eyes, watching Jian Chen from top to bottom of her body.
"Hm, for a man you have a decent level even though it's not my taste, but it doesn't matter if you have high ability..." The gaze of the girl looked back at Jian Chen's eyes, she opened her hairband until the girl's hair was unraveled to waist length.
"Married to me!" Say the girl afterwards.
Jian Chen choked on his own breath, Lily from within also coughed at hearing him, Both of them had not expected the girl to speak so.
"Hm, what did you say? I didn't hear it?"
Jian Chen coughed softly, "You've gone crazy?!"
"Dare to call me crazy!" The girl snorted in annoyance. "Don't get me wrong, I said it wasn't really meant to be married to you, like I said, I want you to marry me but just pretend."
"I don't want to," Jian Chen threw a leather pouch at the girl before starting to turn around and was about to leave. "I don't have time to talk nonsense, in that leather pouch is a spirit stone, you can have it as my guilt-redeemer."
The girl was about to speak again and even more emotionally but suddenly a familiar power appeared.
Jian Chen who was about to fly suddenly stared at the spot, he turned at the girl before turning his head over her, there seemed to be two that floated above the sky while looking at her sharply.
Jian Chen's instincts suddenly gave a danger signal seeing the two people, before he reacted suddenly his shoulders felt heavy like there was a huge stone being laid down, he said, Jian Chen even fell into a kneeling position and his consciousness almost faded.
"It... What's going on..." Jian Chen turned to the two people, realizing that it was the two who made him so in such a position.
The two people then descended from the sky and landed near the girl, Jian Chen could now clearly see the two people who were with the girl were a middle-aged man who was already long-bearded.
The two men then bowed respectfully to the girl, "Master princess, what should I do to her, kill her?"
"Uncle, what did you do to him, quickly release the young man!"
"Daughter, she has been presumptuous to peek at you while taking a bath, she has also injured your shoulder and previously, she has treated you in a disrespectful manner. I can't let him live here."
The girl hastily denied it. "Uncle, this is my business with him, uncle doesn't need to interfere."
Jian Chen heard the girl's chat from afar, a little surprised, but that was not the center of his attention right now but the power that the old man exuded actually rendered him helpless.
It had been a long time since he had met his teacher that someone had made him small and helpless.
"His strength is completely out of your reach, even with my current strength I can't necessarily defeat it." Lily said from the inside, her tone looked alarmed.
"Is he in the God Realm?" Jian Chen clenched his teeth, he had not expected to be put in this position.
Lily shook her head slowly. "No, his strength is stronger than that. Against him is a foolish act, be prepared, I will borrow your body if the situation gets more complicated..."
When Jian Chen communicated with Lily, the girl was still talking to the two old men.
"Sir, this is the rule, he has exceeded his guilt for you, he deserves the death penalty."
"Uncle, I told you this is my personal business..." The girl was a little upset.
"Elder Riu, let this be the matter of the Princess, if the Princess wishes it then it is an absolute order for us." The old man beside him rebuked the old man who refused the orders of the girl.
The old man who refused finally relented, he sighed before drawing his strength so the pressure on Jian Chen's shoulders disappeared.
The girl glanced at Jian Chen last time. "We continue this fight next time, when I meet you, I will kill you with my own hands..."
After speaking so the girl began to float away while the two old men followed her from behind without caring for Jian Chen anymore.
"Mr princess, are we going back to the central mainland continent?"
"What makes uncle think I'm going there, we have to find the heirloom first."
"But princess, we've been three months on this continent, Your Majesty must be worried about you..."
"Dad won't think of me, he's just busy at his job." The girl snorted in annoyance.
The old man scratched his head in frustration, he did not argue and continued to follow him flying.
After the girl and her two men disappeared, Jian Chen's body instantly collapsed and lay on the ground.
"I thought I was gonna die just now..." Jian Chen adjusted his breathing which now felt normal again, in addition to his shoulders feeling heavy, he also had difficulty breathing.
Jian Chen turned his position to his back and looked up at the cloudless clear sky, appearing above there were so many stars twinkling beautifully.
The strength that the man displayed made Jian Chen realize so little of his strength before those who were stronger, he said, whereas all this time he is quite confident with the ability he has because it has surpassed his strength in the past.
"The world is so vast..." Jian Chen sighed softly, his tone slightly trembling for a moment.
Jian Chen did not know whether the girl was his enemy or not but for sure he had to become even stronger to protect everything he cared about.
