Chapter 1700: Long Lasting Power; Gambling!

Long Lasting Power; Gambling! . . .

The strange flower sword looked weak and soft because it was made from petals. However, Cha-Eun Xiao felt the extreme pressure, which threatened his life!

Cha-Eun Xiao used to face many powerful cultivators before. Some of them were much more powerful than Cha-Eun Xiao. However, it was his first time to feel threatened like this. Only the Flower King did that.

The purple qi from the Extreme Purple Sword brightened up the mountains. The light was like the first ray of sunlight when the sun was rising.

It brought warmth to everything. It was powerful and fierce like sunlight piercing through the cold fog!

In fact, the Flower King's sword slash was over ten times stronger than Cha-Eun Xiao's sword attack. However, the weaker one won! The powerful flower sword was cut into halves by the purple sword.

It was like a burning steel knife cutting into the cold butter.

It was sharp and fierce!

The Flower King made a weird exclamation. He suddenly made a dash and jumped away. Billions of petals flew up and rolled around in the sky along with him.

The weird flower sword scattered away right after the clash.

The Flower King's sword was broken, but he didn't lose yet!

"What was that?" The Flower King looked at Cha-Eun Xiao. He seemed frightened.

He had made a powerful attack with an incredible power wave, but when the power wave touched Cha-Eun Xiao, it was cut off by Cha-Eun Xiao's fierce purple sword qi. The power wave went over Cha-Eun Xiao from both sides and didn't even scratch Cha-Eun Xiao a bit.

The Flower King was quite surprised. He had fought millions of people in his life, and even those who were at much higher levels couldn't cleavage his energy wave with one move like that.

Cha-Eun Xiao was way weaker, and that only made it harder to believe!

The Flower King had reached the late phase of the Immortality Stage, which meant he was one of the most powerful people in the world. Cha-Eun Xiao could be no stronger than level eight of the Saint Origin Stage. It should be a huge gap…

Normally, the Flower King should have won the fight easily. Cha-Eun Xiao did not have any power to fight back. However, what happened didn't make sense.

Cha-Eun Xiao was surprised too!

This was the first time he used the Extreme Purple Sword. He had never used it before. First of all, he only got to learn the techniques when the East-rising Purple Qi reached the third level. Second, the techniques were designed for people at a really high level in cultivation. Cha-Eun Xiao had fought many enemies before, but he could never make use of these techniques.

Luckily, he had improved greatly, so he was good enough to use the Extreme Purple Sword. He only used it casually, but it turned out to be much more powerful than he expected. It truly surprised him!

(Off-screen Voice: Erhuo speaking, "What is so surprising? The East-rising Purple Qi is the primordial martial art in history! The techniques should surely be at least this powerful. You are too weak, and that is why you can't make full use of the magnificent technique. If you are a little stronger, the Flower King could never get away from the lethal attack. Don't you feel ashamed? The great technique didn't make its first kill because of you!")

Cha-Eun Xiao heard the Flower King, and it drew him back to the reality. He coldly said with a smile, "What was it? Did my sword technique impress you?"

The Flower King humphed and said, "The technique is magnificent. However, you are too weak for it! What a waste! Watch this!"

He waved one hand again, and the petals started to roll and gathered up fast. A saber appeared this time.

It was a saber made from many petals!

The saber was colorful like the flower sword. There were different kinds of colors on the saber, but it looked harmonious like an artistic masterpiece.

When the flower sword appeared, it was about a hundred feet long. When the saber appeared, it was only thirty feet.

It didn't need to shrink this time, which saved quite some time, but what did that mean?

The Flower King held the flower saber and raised up his head. He stared at Cha-Eun Xiao and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Monarch, you are a monarch, while I am a king. Now, use your sword to fight my saber!"

After that, he made a stride ahead.

He was several hundred feet away from Cha-Eun Xiao. With that stride, he immediately reached Cha-Eun Xiao.

The millions of petals actually all withered behind him.

The flower saber started to shine in different colors, brightening up like a scorching sun in the sky.

The saber slashed down!

The flowers withered.

The Flower King looked sad about it. He shouted, "Xiao Monarch!"

The saber started to shine white lights.

The fierce power had locked on Cha-Eun Xiao. Cha-Eun Xiao felt like falling into an ice pit!

The Flower King's attack was so horrible, but Cha-Eun Xiao was actually lost. He forgot to resist!

Luckily, the East-rising Purple Qi was running. It kept Cha-Eun Xiao sober when he was about to completely lose his mind. The extreme pressure from the Flower King cracked because of the East-rising Purple Qi.

The pressure kept pushing over to Cha-Eun Xiao!

However, there was one moment, in which Cha-Eun Xiao could make his move freely!

The purple qi was unleashed in the sword!

The bright purple light shined up and it went up to the Flower King's flower saber.

They were like two weird bolts of lightning clashing in the sky!

The Flower King's saber attack was incredibly strong.

Cha-Eun Xiao's sword operated the great power of the Extreme Purple Sword, but it only cut ahead about ten meters.

The power of the saber attack was oppressing like a huge mountain!

Cha-Eun Xiao didn't hesitate. He couldn't move forward, so he backed off. He moved backward incredibly fast.

As he kept moving backward, he kept making the sword moves.

The saber attack was like a storm with lightning coming after him. Cha-Eun Xiao kept waving his sword like crazy. Purple sword lights kept coming up. He was weakening the saber attack of the Flower King bit by bit…

It was like a flock of wasps attacking a powerful hawk.

The wasps were beaten up so hard, and they kept falling off. The hawk was still chasing, and it was still fast and fierce. However, every inch it moved ahead, it had to deal with the strong resistance of the wasps.

Was the Flower King's saber attack going to fall first, or was Cha-Eun Xiao going to be exhausted? That was the only two possible results!

Finally…

Cha-Eun Xiao made an exclamation. The fierce saber attack eventually went through the sword lights and hit him. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood erupted to the sky.

He was hit so hard that he flew out like a kite with a broken string.

The Flower King's full-power attack was way beyond Cha-Eun Xiao's resistance.

Cha-Eun Xiao flew out thousands of feet and finally stopped by a huge rock. He hit the rock, and the rock was broken into pieces.

Cha-Eun Xiao shakily stood on the floor. His face turned pale, and he kept spitting blood!

The Monarch's Sword was in his hand with the glittering purple lights, making an impassioned sound. It was like a raging king, ready to make a thundering strike.

It was like an angry king preparing for a massacre!

Cha-Eun Xiao knew it wasn't real. He couldn't make that splendid sword move again.

That beautiful sword attack had used up his spiritual energy.

The East-rising Purple Qi had reached the top of the third level. Cha-Eun Xiao was almost there to reach the fourth level. If he could reach level four, his cultivation level could reach the Immortality Stage, and he could stay undefeated in this fight. However, he was losing now!

Cha-Eun Xiao clearly knew the situation.

There were a few things that caused his failure!

First, the Extreme Purple Sword consumed too much energy. The Extreme Purple Sword was extremely powerful, and it shocked the Flower King with the first move, but it had used more than sixty percent of Cha-Eun Xiao's purple qi. In another word, Cha-Eun Xiao couldn't even make the same attack twice. This was the main reason why he was defeated. He didn't have enough energy to master the splendid sword technique!

Second, Cha-Eun Xiao underestimated the Flower King. The Flower King didn't show a strong power when Cha-Eun Xiao saw him. When Cha-Eun Xiao made the first sword move, it successfully broke the Flower King's powerful attack! Therefore, Cha-Eun Xiao underestimated the Flower King! Unexpectedly, the flower saber was even most powerful. Cha-Eun Xiao couldn't resist it. He was meant to fail!

Cha-Eun Xiao didn't have the right judgment about the Extreme Purple Sword. The East-rising Purple Qi was the peerless martial art in history, so the Extreme Purple Sword must be extraordinary too, and it obviously consumed a lot of energy. The Flower King couldn't resist a great sword technique like that, and Cha-Eun Xiao thought that the Flower King was just weak. When the Flower King made the second attack with the flower saber, Cha-Eun Xiao had the tendency to take the enemy lightly!

Cha-Eun Xiao didn't accept the result. If he knew the Extreme Purple Sword would consume too much energy, he wouldn't use it. He must learn something else to replace the Extreme Purple Sword. The Xiao Monarch's Nine Laughters had become too weak as the enemies were too powerful now. The Extreme Purple Sword was powerful enough, but he didn't have enough energy for it. In fact, he still had the confidence to survive this situation, but he couldn't stop worrying about the fights ahead of him! He needed a new sword technique!

Cha-Eun Xiao took a deep breath and tried to stay sober. He stared at the Flower King. Blood ran off his lips. In a bland and indifferent voice, he said, "Is that all? Not as good as I expected."

The Flower King walked out from the ocean of flowers.

The gentle breeze waved over the flowers.

The flower saber had become petals and flew away after hitting Cha-Eun Xiao. The petals were flying around the Flower King. The Flower King could always make it back with simply a thought in his mind. The powerful flower saber was with him all the time.

The Flower King had made a full attack. After all, he was a little frightened by the Extreme Purple Sword. If Cha-Eun Xiao made that attack again, the Flower King might not be able to get away from the blast. That was why the Flower King made a full-power attack. No matter how powerful Cha-Eun Xiao's sword technique was, he couldn't resist that domineering saber attack. Unexpectedly, Cha-Eun Xiao didn't make the same move again. He made a change, and started to move backward while making continual sword lights to deal with the saber attack.

Every wave of sword lights from Cha-Eun Xiao became three thousand sword cuts. The sword cuts kept weakening the saber attack. They had decreased eighty percent of the power of the saber attack.

Cha-Eun Xiao still got severely injured, but at least he survived.

The Flower King wasn't expecting his survival.

The Flower King had been winning since the saber attack began. However, he didn't feel good like a winner.

"Cha-Eun Xiao, I have to admit, that your sword technique and martial art, even your battle experience, are some of the best. However, you are too weak." The Flower King breathed a sigh and said, "If you have more time to grow, you will become one of the peerless cultivators in the world. What a shame! You are going to die here today…

"You came to my place, yet you decided to break my rules… That decision took away your future!"

The Flower King shook his head and said, "What a pity!"

Cha-Eun Xiao staggered and stabbed the sword on the floor to support himself. He blandly said, "Master Flower King, you are the first Immortality Stage enemy of mine. That was shocking! However, it was not as good as I expected…"

He showed a peaceful smile and said, "I lost this. However, I will come back again. You can defeat me, but you can't kill me."

"Do you think I would break the rules in the Matchless Soul Valley while having no plan to survive this?" Cha-Eun Xiao laughed.

He kept staring at the Flower King.

When he said, "However, it was not as good as I expected…" the Flower King clearly looked upset. Cha-Eun Xiao saw the pain in the man's heart.

Cha-Eun Xiao sensitively captured the slight emotion change of the Flower King.

The sadness made Cha-Eun Xiao think, 'Does the Flower King have a secret that he can't tell me?'

'Does it mean… the Immortality Stage cultivator must be more powerful than this?'

'After all, he has been hiding in the Matchless Soul Valley. He never showed himself outside.'

Cha-Eun Xiao made a guess in his heart.

It was only a guess, but it gave Cha-Eun Xiao quite an inspiration. The inspiration might bring him a great danger, but he decided to take the risk!
