While Qin Chu sat on the ground feeling depressed, Qian Lingwu came out. She poured out the water from the basin and put it away. It was an exquisite basin; she lived meticulously and had some daily necessities in her Storage Ring, the basin being just one of them.
“Feeling depressed, but you lack strength. Who can you blame for that?” Qian Lingwu wiped a wooden stool and sat down, her beautiful eyes looking at Qin Chu with disdain.
Suddenly, Qin Chu felt relieved. The world was just like this; there was no point in him being depressed. If he Cultivated diligently and didn't die, he would eventually rise.
After fetching water again and washing up, Qin Chu began to Cultivate his sword techniques.
As Qin Chu Cultivated, Qian Lingwu watched from the side. After observing for a while, it was her turn to feel depressed. Qin Chu was Cultivating, but he was practicing basic sword techniques, which were completely useless to her because they had no relation to the Sword Spirit Realm.
“Qin Chu, let’s talk! This Princess wants to understand the situation of the Sword Spirit Realm. Can you be a bit more generous?” After thinking for a while, Qian Lingwu spoke.
“When you bullied me, did you ever consider being generous to me? Now you want me to be generous, you’re asking for too much,” Qin Chu said.
“How about this, this Princess owes you a favor. In the future, if you need anything from this Princess, this Princess will certainly not be stingy.” Qian Lingwu made a promise. She had understood that without giving Qin Chu benefits, it would be impossible to make him comply.
“A favor is too vague and ethereal. Besides, can your words be trusted?” Qin Chu shook his head. He was very suspicious of Qian Lingwu’s character.
“This Princess keeps her word and does not go back on it!” Being questioned by Qin Chu, Qian Lingwu wanted to erupt, but she still held back.
Qin Chu thought for a moment, “I also need another promise from you. That is, if I tell you about the Sword Spirit Realm, you must promise never to attack the Azure Cloud Sect, no matter how high you reach in your own Cultivation.”
Qian Lingwu stood up, “That’s impossible. I won’t hide some things from you. The Qian Dynasty wants to achieve absolute rule over this region, and the four major Sects are in the way. If this Princess doesn’t act, how can that be achieved?”
“The Azure Cloud Sect has no ambition; it just wants to do its own thing. Why must you target the Azure Cloud Sect? As for the other three major Sects, they have nothing to do with me. In my heart, you can be strong, but you cannot threaten the Azure Cloud Sect. This is my bottom line!” Qin Chu also stood up.
“Only the Azure Cloud Sect?” Qian Lingwu narrowed her eyes, looking at Qin Chu.
“Yes, the fate of the other three major Sects has nothing to do with me,” Qin Chu nodded. He didn’t care about the Blood Blade Sect, Wolf King Palace, and Star Pavilion. He himself even wanted to deal with those three Sects.
After looking at Qin Chu again, Qian Lingwu nodded, “Deal!”
“I will only tell you my feelings about the Sword Spirit Realm. Whether you can comprehend it is your business. If you agree, we will seal it with a handclasp vow!” Qin Chu said.
Qian Lingwu nodded. As long as she knew the mysteries of the Sword Spirit Realm, everything else was secondary.
Subsequently, Qin Chu and Qian Lingwu clasped hands and made a vow. Qian Lingwu said she owed Qin Chu a favor and would not attack the Azure Cloud Sect.
With the vow established, Qin Chu told Qian Lingwu about the Sword Spirit Realm and that feeling.
“Just a feeling?” Qian Lingwu’s beautiful eyes widened. She had paid a great price, and Qin Chu only told her two words: ‘a feeling.’ Wasn’t he just teasing her?
“Yes, it’s a feeling. A person is a sword, and a sword is a person. With inspiration, one can discover the opponent’s weaknesses,” Qin Chu nodded.
“You demonstrate the Sword Spirit Realm, let’s spar!” Qian Lingwu said.
Qin Chu chuckled, “Can we not joke around? You are a sixth-stage King Realm expert, and I am a third-stage True Qi Realm expert. Forget the Sword Spirit Realm, even if I had a War God possessing me, it would be useless, so I’m not interested.”
“This Princess will use the same Cultivation as you. Do not refuse. If you refuse, it means you’re insincere, and our agreement will be void.” Qian Lingwu spoke, directly cutting off what Qin Chu was about to say, because if Qin Chu refused, she wouldn’t have to abide by the agreement.
In this situation, Qin Chu could only agree. He felt that as long as Qian Lingwu honored her agreement, there would be no harm to the Azure Cloud Sect. Moreover, it would mean the Azure Cloud Sect avoided a powerful opponent; without a sixth-stage Cultivator’s assistance, it would be almost impossible for the Qian Dynasty to move against the Azure Cloud Sect. Furthermore, from a personal perspective, being able to stop Qian Lingwu from targeting him and owing him a great favor was also quite a good deal.
After fighting with Qin Chu using the same Cultivation, Qian Lingwu’s expression became extremely serious, because she was at a disadvantage. Every attack from Qin Chu’s Azure Spirit Sword made her struggle to defend, and her strength was not as great as Qin Chu’s. Every time their weapons clashed, she was forced back.
After fighting for a while, Qin Chu seized an opportunity. When Qian Lingwu’s body was knocked off balance, he used his Spirit Shadow Steps to get to her side, then kicked, landing a foot on Qian Lingwu’s backside.
It was very soft… This was Qin Chu’s feeling, but the subsequent feeling was not good. His body was suppressed by energy, unable to move. Then Qian Lingwu kicked Qin Chu down with a flying kick, then plunged her spear into the ground beside her, and then launched a flurry of punches at Qin Chu, making him grimace in pain.
“You damned bastard!” Qian Lingwu punched Qin Chu’s nose before stopping.
Without the energy suppression, Qin Chu flipped over, lay on the ground, and covered his nose. Although Qian Lingwu’s last hit wasn’t heavy, it still made his nose ache, and tears were almost coming out.
After his nose’s soreness subsided for a while, Qin Chu found a wooden stool and sat down, “Don’t expect me to spar with you again.”
“You played dirty, and you think you’re in the right?” Qian Lingwu roared in anger. She felt she had suffered a great loss. Being kicked in the backside by a man was simply unacceptable to her.
“When we spar, I naturally have to attack. Am I wrong? Anyway, I’m not sparring anymore!” Qin Chu turned his head away from Qian Lingwu. He felt wronged, but to be honest, he felt that kick was quite satisfying.
Qian Lingwu didn’t say anything. Qin Chu initially thought it was over, but after he poured two cups of water, Qian Lingwu swung her long spear and attacked him, though she used a Cultivation level of third-stage True Qi Realm, level eight, the same as him.
What to do? If he didn’t fight back, he would get beaten. Helpless, Qin Chu could only fight back.
After fighting back, Qin Chu was on the defensive. Qian Lingwu could be unreasonable, but he could play dirty.
After fighting for a while, Qin Chu was hit by Qian Lingwu with the shaft of her spear. This made him realize that without using the Sword Spirit Realm and without actively attacking, he couldn’t withstand Qian Lingwu at the same Cultivation level.
Having no choice, Qin Chu could only use the Sword Spirit Realm and start attacking, otherwise, he really couldn’t hold on.
After fighting for a while again, Qin Chu’s sword deflected Qian Lingwu’s long spear, and then he charged forward.
When he reached Qian Lingwu’s side, Qin Chu extended his left hand and grabbed Qian Lingwu’s left arm. At the same time, he extended his left leg forward, blocking Qian Lingwu’s retreat, then pulled Qian Lingwu to the ground, and then mounted her!
