38: By what right do you have the authority to govern me?

Although Chen Xian was arrogant, he was certainly not an idiot.

Wang Li was currently gritting his teeth.

He wished he could tear Chen Xian into eight pieces!

But Chen Xian currently possessed a death-exemption medallion. If he were to make a move, he would be challenging the Imperial Family.

Even as the Young Master of Tianqi Sect, he didn't dare to do that.

But if he did nothing and watched Chen Xian and his Fiancée go out together as a couple...

Even if Li Yu married him later.

The humiliation of today would still be remembered by others.

Just when he didn't know what to do about Chen Xian.

Chen Xian suddenly saw the sword at Wang Li's waist. In truth, just by looking, he couldn't discern anything special about the sword.

However, he felt his sword casket reacting!

A Heaven Rank treasured sword.

Could the sword at Wang Li's waist also be one?

Thinking of this, Chen Xian immediately felt his heart itch with desire.

"Ahem, but if you want to duel, it's not entirely impossible!"

"I have two conditions!"

"What conditions? Speak quickly!"

Chen Xian smiled and said, "First, we need a stake. Since I want to be a Sword Cultivator, the item should preferably be a sword!"

"Second, I will only accept a match limited to three moves!"

As soon as he said this.

Wang Li's eyes lit up.

"Good!"

He unhesitatingly drew the long sword from his waist.

"This is the supreme treasure of our Tianqi Sect, the Tianqi Sword!"

"Today, if I fail to defeat you within three moves, you may take it. Furthermore, I will stop interfering in your affairs with the Seventh Princess!"

"But if I win!"

A sinister smile appeared on Wang Li's face.

"You must kowtow to me three times in public, and then commit suicide by slitting your own throat!"

Hiss!

When he spoke these words, everyone present looked sideways at him.

"I thought this Young Master of Tianqi Sect was modest and gentle, but I didn't expect his methods to be so ruthless!"

"Sigh, among all the Prodigies who reach the position of Sect Young Lord, how many are truly soft-hearted?"

"That's true!"

At this moment, Chen Buyu was the first to step forward.

"Great Nephew, don't go! Let me handle this matter!"

Although his Great Nephew had a sharp tongue, in terms of cultivation, Wang Li could probably defeat ten men like him.

Therefore, he absolutely could not agree to this.

It wasn't just him; Li Yu felt the same way.

"Are you crazy? Wang Li's cultivation has reached Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. Ten of you couldn't defeat him!"

"I asked you to be a shield, not to throw your life away!"

Before, Li Yu might not have valued Chen Xian highly, seeing him only as a tool for her own use. But now, Chen Buyu's strong support for Chen Xian...

...made her realize Chen Xian's value.

One must know that Chen Buyu had the backing of many military generals from the Da Gan Dynasty.

Chen Xian, it seemed, wasn't entirely useless.

Thus, she didn't want him to throw his life away like this.

However, Chen Xian spoke righteously at this moment: "Yu'er, I have wasted the past twenty years of my life. Today, for the sake of our love, I want to take control of my own destiny, alright!"

Li Yu looked at Chen Xian's dignified and earnest appearance!

She almost believed him herself!

But the next second.

Two voices rang out from the crowd.

"Absolutely not!"

"Absolutely not!"

The two spoke in unison and walked out together.

The ones who stepped out were none other than...

...Liu Ruyan and Zi Yun.

"My goodness, just who is this Chen Xian? He actually managed to hook up with two more beauties capable of toppling kingdoms."

"Does the Heir of the Marquis of Jubei usually enjoy such good fortune?"

In fact, Liu Ruyan had been feeling restless for a while now.

Chen Xian was clearly her Fiancé, yet he was currently getting involved with someone else?

Especially fighting the Young Master of Tianqi Sect head-on for another woman.

When did this man acquire such courage?

And when did he decide that the previous twenty years were a waste of time? Didn't that imply that pursuing her was meaningless?

Carrying a belly full of questions and jealousy, Liu Ruyan decisively stepped forward.

As for Zi Yun, her reason for stepping out was much simpler.

If this fellow Chen Xian died, she would surely die within two days!

She certainly didn't want her entire body to burn up and explode.

"Chen Xian, come back with me!"

Liu Ruyan said coldly.

In the current situation, only by protecting Chen Xian herself, combined with Chen Buyu's maneuvering, could Wang Li's anger perhaps be quelled.

However, just as Liu Ruyan prepared to grab Chen Xian, he immediately dodged her.

"What are you doing? Liu Ruyan, by what right do you command me?"

"I am your Fiancée, so naturally, I command you!"

Chen Xian sneered at Liu Ruyan's words.

"Oh? Didn't we cancel our engagement long ago?"

"Now, by what status do you command me?"

That one sentence from Chen Xian.

Immediately made Liu Ruyan's face turn pale.

What status?

That's right. The status of Fiancée was something she had tried every possible means to shake off.

Why was she insisting on coming over to command him now?

She was silent for a few seconds, then spoke coldly: "The Chen family has shown kindness to me. I cannot stand idly by and watch Uncle Chen's son jump into a fire pit!"

Chen Xian gave her a roll of the eyes.

"Oh, spare me the nonsense!"

Chen Xian's attitude toward Liu Ruyan was vastly different from the original body's!

A woman who leads you on, drains all your resources, and finally wants to kick you away—what kind of good person could she be?

Therefore, Chen Xian wasn't interested in her advice or her attempts to cling to him.

At this moment, Zi Yun walked over and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Chen Xian, you really give me a lot of surprises. Stop playing the hero here. If you want to die, I certainly don't!"

Hearing Zi Yun's words, Chen Xian knew that this woman probably hadn't found a way to resolve the hehuan pill in her body.

He chose not to tell Zi Yun that he had already found a solution.

Instead, he said wildly, "Since we're going to die anyway, why be so reserved!"

He shouted loudly toward Wang Li: "Wang Li, you agreed to my two conditions, right? We can start now!"

Wang Li laughed sinisterly and said, "Alright!"

When he saw Liu Ruyan and Zi Yun trying to persuade Chen Xian, the most nervous person was Wang Li. He was terrified that Chen Xian would be convinced to back out. Of course, he was also filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred for Chen Xian!

Why could he, a lowly Heir of the Marquis of Jubei, enjoy the concern of so many beauties?

He had chosen Li Yu for his future, yet this guy had stolen her away.

This solidified Wang Li's determination to kill Chen Xian!

"Very well. Since that's the case, how about we swear an oath upon the Heavenly Dao?"

Chen Xian's words caused everyone present to be stunned.

"No way, is this Chen Xian crazy?"

"Swearing an oath on the heart of the Heavenly Dao means if you fail to uphold it, you will certainly be struck by five thunderbolts from heaven! You will suffer the backlash of Heavenly Dao Karma!"

"Holy cow, is this guy love-struck or just brainless?"

"I think he can be called Jubei City's First Reckless Man!"

Everyone discussed Chen Xian's actions animatedly.

As for Wang Li, he was the first to swear the oath upon the heart of the Heavenly Dao, terrified that this fool Chen Xian might regret it, which would cause him to become the laughingstock of the Demon Extermination Assembly!
