Volume 7 Chapter 116: Jin Qinghan vs Half Shura Feng Qingtian

When Xu Qingfan and the other human masters arrived at the place where they had trained before, they all stopped.

Xu Qingfan took out the "Heaven and Earth Chess," and suddenly, a transparent barrier spread out from Xu Qingfan, covering an area of hundreds of miles.

As the power of the "Heaven and Earth Chess" was revealed, Xu Qingfan entered a "Demonic Transformation" state, his mind extremely calm, his reactions sharp. At this moment, without hesitation, he quickly moved different pieces with his fingers, placing them on the chessboard one after another.

"Quick!"

"Defend!"

"Identify!"

"Spirit!"

…

As Xu Qingfan placed down more than ten pieces, a bright light flashed around the grand masters, greatly increasing their power. From a distance, they looked like heavenly beings.

After Xu Qingfan finished everything, Grand Tantian and the others finally caught up.

However, within the power range of "Heaven and Earth Chess," all the rules were under Xu Qingfan’s control. In a way, within the "Heaven and Earth Chess," Xu Qingfan was like a god, like the heavens. Holding "Heaven and Earth Chess," an impressive power naturally radiated from him, making him seem very commanding.

Moreover, in front of Xu Qingfan, over twenty grand masters sparkled with bright light, their power significantly greater than before.

As a result, Grand Tantian and the others did not charge forward to attack as they had done before; instead, they hesitated and stopped to confront the nearby human grand masters.

Suddenly, Grand Tantian and Asura felt that this battle might not be as easy as they had imagined. Confronting Xu Qingfan and the others felt like facing the Heavenly Way.

Although Grand Tantian and the others had stopped, Xu Qingfan, in his "Demonic Transformation" state, did not hesitate at all.

Xu Qingfan began to pick up the black pieces.

"Press!"

As the black chess piece fell, Grand Tantian and the others felt as if their bodies weighed a hundred times more, and even lifting their hands and feet became very difficult.

"Stop!"

It seemed like there were heavy walls all around Grand Tantian and the others, and moving was harder than climbing a mountain, their speed greatly reduced.

"Cut!"

The energy inside the Shura Clan members began to flow away quickly.

With all of Xu Qingfan’s boosts, whether it was Grand Tantian, Asura, or other Shura Clan experts, their faces changed drastically, as they finally understood why they felt so oppressed when meeting Xu Qingfan.

Xu Qingfan could actually control everything in this space.

"Kill that human with the chessboard!"

Grand Tantian no longer hesitated and rushed towards Xu Qingfan, with Asura following closely behind.

Everyone knows what it means to have a battle controller and supporter in a fight.

Although Xu Qingfan has greatly weakened the Shura Clan members with his "Heaven and Earth Chess," these Shura Clan masters seem unaffected, moving like lightning and rushing quickly towards Xu Qingfan, especially Grand Tantian, whose speed is simply unbelievable, reaching the group of masters in the blink of an eye!

If Xu Qingfan represents a god within the control range of "Heaven and Earth Chess," then Grand Tantian is fully capable of slaying gods!

However, Grand Tantian is still weakened by Xu Qingfan’s "Heaven and Earth Chess." At least, compared to before, the human masters can finally see his movements somewhat clearly.

"Follow the original plan."

After entering the "Demonic Transformation" state, Xu Qingfan remained extremely calm and showed no surprise at Grand Tantian’s power, coldly giving commands.

As Xu Qingfan’s words fell, the group of masters began to act according to the previous plan.

The five strongest masters, Zhang Xusheng, Chou, Mr. Liu, Immortal Zizhen, and Liu Ziqing, moved toward Grand Tantian and Asura.

Among them, the fastest, Liu Ziqing, took on the role of distraction. Liu Ziqing is already known for his speed, and with Xu Qingfan’s boost, combined with Grand Tantian’s weakening, his speed is only slightly slower than Grand Tantian’s. Although his attack power is nowhere near as strong, the God Weapon he forged should not be underestimated.

Indeed, under Liu Ziqing’s struggle with Grand Tantian, Grand Tantian could not escape from Liu Ziqing for a moment. Not only did his attack power greatly decrease because he couldn’t move freely, but his speed also dropped to a level similar to other masters.

Zhang Xusheng was responsible for disrupting the attack. With a wave of his hand, the "Four Spirit Sky Map" unfolded, and the Blue Dragon, Red Bird, White Tiger, and Black Turtle appeared around Grand Tantian and Asura, roaring and continuously attacking from all directions. Meanwhile, he transformed into an endless sea of blood, with waves crashing towards Grand Tantian and Asura, diverting some of their attention and energy.

Mr. Liu was in charge of support and secondary attacks. His "Heaven and Earth Fan" and "Heaven and Earth Sword" had incredible sealing and controlling power, second only to Xu Qingfan’s "Heaven and Earth Chess," and the attacking power was immensely strong.

Mr. Liu clearly did not make the mistake Wen Ru made years ago. After receiving the "Heaven and Earth Fan," he sealed countless charms within it. Although it had no attack power, its control was taken to the extreme.

Mr. Liu waved the folding fan in his hand, and countless wild strokes flew out, expanding many times. Taking advantage of Grand Tantian and Asura being distracted, these strokes entered their bodies. Suddenly, Grand Tantian and Asura felt a great binding force, making it extremely difficult to act.

Mr. Liu’s "Heaven and Earth Sword" was even more powerful. When it was unleashed, the sword energy rolled across the area, and even Grand Tantian, who was very strong, dared not confront it head-on.

The main attacker was Chou. His devouring ability was among the few that could effectively harm the Shura Clan, who possessed the Immortal Body, and his mutated death energy was one of the most destructive forces in the world.

Chou was surrounded by thick black mist, constantly pursuing Grand Tantian. Although Grand Tantian could repel Chou, he dared not allow himself to be engulfed by the black mist around Chou.

Immortal Zizhen was in charge of defense. Whenever there was a crisis, the most powerful Immortal Zizhen would step in to block it. Especially for Xu Qingfan, even though he was surrounded by four top human masters, Grand Tantian and Asura still charged recklessly. If it weren’t for Immortal Zizhen firmly blocking the way, Xu Qingfan would not have been able to control the situation so freely.

And it is because of the presence of Immortal Zizhen that Chou, Zhang Xusheng, Mr. Liu, Liu Ziqing can focus entirely on unleashing their full strength in battle.

This is the technique and teamwork trained by the human masters; although five people are working together, the power they display far exceeds the sum of their strengths.

Originally, with the strength of Grand Tantian and Asura, even facing five top human masters, their chances of winning were still great; however, under Xu Qingfan’s strong control and the clever teamwork of Zhang Xusheng, Immortal Zizhen, Mr. Liu, Chou, and Liu Ziqing, the battle ended up being evenly matched, with the human masters subtly gaining the upper hand!

Faced with this situation, Grand Tantian roared repeatedly, but it still had no effect.

All around Grand Tantian, Liu Ziqing kept darting about, like a bothersome fly that wouldn’t go away, making it difficult for him to use his strength. Before long, Zhang Xusheng’s Four Spirits and blood waves struck him when he wasn’t paying attention, causing him great pain, while Mr. Liu’s "Heaven and Earth Sword" and Chou’s mutated death energy made him very cautious. Just when he finally found an opportunity to strike someone, a burst of purple energy suddenly appeared in front of him—it was Immortal Zizhen intervening.

What made Grand Tantian even more furious was that, under the control of Xu Qingfan and Mr. Liu, he could only exert sixty to seventy percent of his power; otherwise, these so-called top human masters would hardly be his match!

At the same time, more than ten other masters were advancing toward the remaining five members of the Shura Clan, teaming up in groups of three or four based on their strengths, working together skillfully and clearly defining their roles in battle. Only Jin Qinghan, insisting strongly, was fighting alone against a Half Shura wearing a dark red mask!

Thus, the chaotic battle among all the top powerhouses in the world began.

As the fight continued, the advantage of the human masters became increasingly clear, while Grand Tantian and the other Shura Clan experts quickly became severely injured.

The reason why humans become more and more advantageous in battle is due to two aspects.

The first is Xu Qingfan’s command.

As the battle continued, under the "Demonic Transformation" state, Xu Qingfan’s calmness, reaction time, and calculation ability reached the ultimate level of humanity.

"Step back to the right!"

"Attack from the left!"

"Team up with Mr. Liu!"

…

Xu Qingfan stood far behind the battlefield, calmly observing the changes in the situation. With his sharp observation and strong calculation skills, he could always quickly find the weaknesses of Grand Tantian and then issued orders to Mr. Liu and others using a mystical method of communication. If Xu Qingfan’s support in battle was a headache for Grand Tantian before, now his command ability was even more alarming to them.

Most importantly, Xu Qingfan was simultaneously commanding all the battles, managing many tasks effortlessly. The incredible calculation and observation skills in his "Demonic" state were nothing short of remarkable.

The second reason is because of Asura.

Zhang Xusheng had previously made it clear to all the masters that during this great battle, while fully attacking Grand Tantian, they should only keep a certain pressure on Asura, neither allowing him to play any role nor striking him too hard, so he would have the ability to leave the battlefield at any time.

Zhang Xusheng explained this request in this way.

"After the ‘Shura Statue’ returned to the Shura Clan and Asura held one hundred thousand Half Shura, his relationship with Grand Tantian was completely different than before. Because he now had the power to stand against Grand Tantian, he was no longer the original Asura after experiencing the taste of power he had long been suppressed from."

"Grand Tantian wants to destroy humanity, but Asura does not necessarily want that. As long as humanity exists, he can create countless Half Shura through the ‘Shura Statue’ to strengthen his own power. Grand Tantian cannot allow this decisive battle to fail, but Asura can; as long as he has the ‘Shura Statue,’ he can always make a comeback. Grand Tantian does not permit the Shura Clan to be destroyed, yet Asura knows that even if the Shura Clan is gone, the Half Shura race will never disappear, as long as he still possesses the ‘Shura Statue.’ If the Shura Clan is completely wiped out, he will no longer be under anyone’s control."

"Although Asura was transformed into a Half Shura tens of thousands of years ago and was the most perfect and powerful Half Shura, he still possesses a human soul. Deep within the human soul, ambition is something that is never lacking. Moreover, this Asura is a smart person, a clever one with ambition. When we display overwhelming strength against Grand Tantian while only maintaining a certain pressure on him, under such pressure, he can escape at any moment. It is obvious what he would do."

It must be said that Zhang Xusheng’s understanding and control over human nature has reached an extraordinary and even terrifying level. Under Zhang Xusheng’s design, aside from the initial full effort of Asura, he seemed to sense something later on, gradually moving to the outskirts of the battlefield, beginning to work less and less, engaging in a silent battle with Zhang Xusheng and the others, each understanding the other without words.

Thus, despite Grand Tantian’s incredible strength, he began to fall into madness.

…

However, even so, Grand Tantian remained Grand Tantian, the strongest being in the world. Just when all the human masters thought they had control over the situation, a sudden change occurred.

After a long battle, Grand Tantian felt even more anger in his heart, but he could not let it out under the attack of the crowd. Finally, he exploded.

Suddenly, an incredibly strong force erupted from Grand Tantian, causing the five Grandmasters who were attacking him to pause.

At the same time, Grand Tantian charged hard toward Liu Ziqing, forcing him back. With a punch and a kick, he violently collided with Mr. Liu’s "Heaven and Earth Sword" and Chou’s sword tip, pushing them away. He endured Zhang Xusheng’s Four Spirits and Blood Wave attacks with his body, then dashed toward Xu Qingfan like lightning.

At a crucial moment, Immortal Zizhen conjured a purple fog to block Grand Tantian but was forcefully swept away by him.

Meanwhile, Mr. Liu’s face changed. He noticed that the various restraints he used to invade Grand Tantian’s body with "Heaven and Earth Fan" were all shattered under an immense force.

Xu Qingfan remained extremely calm, but the more than ten black pieces on his "Heaven and Earth Chess" board were suddenly destroyed in an instant!

At that moment, Grand Tantian managed to break free from all restraints using his own power!

As all the black pieces representing weakening on Xu Qingfan’s board were shattered by Grand Tantian’s terrifying strength, the Shura Clan members all felt their power surge and restored to their original state, and the battle turned instantly!

For a moment, humanity was in a dangerous situation.

In such circumstances, only two people remained calm: one was Zhang Xusheng and the other was Xu Qingfan in his "Demonic Transformation" state!

Zhang Xusheng poured all of his Spirit Qi into the "Four Spirit Sky Map," and instantly the four great Mythical Beasts grew stronger, standing firmly in front of Xu Qingfan at a critical moment.

"Die!"

Facing the full attack of the four great Mythical Beasts, Grand Tantian’s expression became increasingly furious, filled with great power and force as he swung his fist at the four Mythical Beasts in front of him.

Four punches!

Just four punches were enough to push back the legendary four great Mythical Beasts.

Although the "Four Spirit Sky Map" only created illusions of the four great Mythical Beasts, with its true strength being only half of theirs, Grand Tantian’s power was still impressive.

However, Grand Tantian was also momentarily halted by the blockade of the "Four Spirit Sky Map."

In that moment, Xu Qingfan suddenly shot out ten game pieces.

Unlike the previous black and white pieces, these game pieces were a mix of black and white, like the yin-yang symbol.

Of these ten pieces, five were aimed at five Shura Clan experts, and five were aimed at Grand Tantian, while Xu Qingfan chose to spare Asura.

These pieces were made of "Imperishable Jade," which naturally possessed powerful binding force, and when Xu Qingfan created them, he infused his ultimate skill—"Rebirth of Life and Death," which has strong sealing power—into them!

After combining both powers, although they could only be used once, the precious "Imperishable Jade" pieces would turn to dust afterward, but their binding and sealing power was rare in the world.

As the pieces reached the Shura Clan experts, they exploded, transforming into swirling yin-yang patterns that wrapped around them at lightning speed.

Especially for Grand Tantian, the yin-yang pattern in front of him was made up of five pieces, making it exceptionally powerful.

With these yin-yang patterns suddenly appearing and transforming into black and white spheres, sealing all six Shura Clan experts, the once noisy battlefield fell silent as all the human masters lost their opponents.

Only the unsealed Asura voluntarily ceased fighting, a mysterious smile appearing on his face, and he even had the leisure to nod at Zhang Xusheng, who wore a similarly amused expression, sharing an unspoken understanding.

"The cycle of life and death" is indeed powerful under the blessing of "Imperishable Jade," but everyone knows that it can only seal the Shura Clan experts for a short time.

But that was enough for Xu Qingfan.

"Press!"

"Block!"

"Cut!"

…

"Press!"

"Block!"

"Cut!"

…

Xu Qingfan pointed like a swift wind, and the black pieces kept falling onto the chessboard.

Unlike before, this time, Xu Qingfan played all the black pieces that weakened power twice.

One time was to weaken Asura and the other six powerful Shura Clan masters, and the other time was to weaken Grand Tantian alone.

Grand Tantian’s power was too strong; Xu Qingfan could no longer dare to weaken it with just one piece, so he concentrated his strength, or else he would end up having his pieces shattered again.

"Grand Tantian used up his life force to break the seal, but we must finish this quickly!"

After doing all this, Xu Qingfan said softly.

The masters all nodded to show they understood. Since Grand Tantian had used up his life force, they should have carried out a strategy to drag him out slowly, but with every piece Xu Qingfan placed on the "Heaven and Earth Chess" board, the consumption of his Spirit Qi would greatly increase. This time, to weaken Grand Tantian, Xu Qingfan placed more than ten extra black pieces, putting a lot of pressure on himself, and he couldn’t hold out much longer.

As the masters nodded, suddenly, a loud rumbling sound erupted as Grand Tantian and the others almost simultaneously broke through their "cycle of life and death" seal.

A great battle has begun again, but this time, they found that the various restraints on them had reappeared.

The situation turned once more, and the human masters slowly gained the upper hand.

Meanwhile, Xu Qingfan continued to appear as the commander and controller, pulling away from Grand Tantian, who found himself again surrounded by the five Grandmasters and was getting more and more injured.

Previously, Grand Tantian’s outburst was due to him exhausting a part of his life force. Now, with the battle restarting, the bad consequences showed, and his attacks began to grow weaker than before.

Although his wounds were healing quickly, this recovery came at a cost; each time he healed, Grand Tantian would use up some of his stamina, and as the battle continued, his exhaustion increased.

Everything was going according to Zhang Xusheng’s plan, and victory seemed to be within reach.

However, the smile on Zhang Xusheng’s face became more mysterious, and his eyes flickered, hinting at unknown intentions.

…

On the other side, the other five Shura Clan masters were fighting against more than ten human masters. Although the advantage was not as clear as the one between the five Grandmasters and Grand Tantian, under Xu Qingfan’s control and command, they were indeed starting to gain the upper hand.

And the first battle to end was right here.

At that time, Jin Qinghan was fighting the Half Shura who wore a dark red mask.

This Half Shura, with his dark red mask, had an attack power and destruction ability equal to a master at the Soul Splitting Stage, but he was really just as powerful as a human in the late stage of the Astral Projection Stage. With a body strength of equal power, he was indeed much stronger than Jin Qinghan, who was in the early stage of the Astral Projection Stage. Yet, with Xu Qingfan’s weakening and strengthening tactics, their strengths were balanced.

Moreover, with Xu Qingfan’s calm and precise commands, Jin Qinghan quickly gained the upper hand.

Most importantly, this Half Shura seemed unwilling to fight Jin Qinghan; he was focused solely on charging at Xu Qingfan, seemingly filled with deep hatred.

All these factors combined allowed Jin Qinghan to be the first to end the battle.

When this Half Shura fell heavily to the ground from Jin Qinghan’s strike, his eyes behind the mask flashed with disbelief, as if he never expected to lose to Jin Qinghan.

Jin Qinghan controlled this strike very well, leaving some strength behind. Although he knocked the Half Shura to the ground, he did not injure him; he simply brought him down.

Because of this, the Half Shura found it even harder to accept.

If at the beginning of the battle, the eyes of the Half Shura were filled with intense zeal and deep hatred, then at the moment he was defeated by Jin Qinghan, his eyes became dull and lifeless, as if his soul had left his body. What lay on the ground was just a shell.

Beneath the dull eyes lay deep pain and a trace of self-destruction.

Although Jin Qinghan’s strike was very skillful and didn’t hurt him, he still had strength left, but he showed no desire to fight back. He just lay there quietly, as if he had lost his thoughts.

Jin Qinghan coldly watched the Half Shura in front of him, not taking advantage of his victory, his gaze was very complex as he floated quietly in front of the Half Shura.

The two stared at each other silently, one lost in thought, the other with a complicated expression.

"I know you have never regarded me highly. To you, I will always be a loser, so you only seek your true opponent and never took me seriously in battle. That’s why you lost, and you lost quickly and completely. I understand that."

After a long time, Jin Qinghan spoke.

"But I find it strange. Shouldn’t your enemy be Zhang Xusheng? So why did you recklessly attack Martial Brother Xu Qingfan just now? You didn’t even care about my attack?"

Silence.

Jin Qinghan frowned and suddenly shouted, "Feng Qingtian! Answer my question!"

With that soft shout, Jin Qinghan flicked his fingers, and a flash of golden light appeared. The dark red mask on Half Shura shattered, revealing an incredibly handsome face with no body at all, right in front of Jin Qinghan.

Feng Qingtian!

This Half Shura was actually Feng Qingtian!

The broken mask seemed to bring Feng Qingtian back to his senses a little, his eyes finally focused on Jin Qinghan, and he suddenly smiled.

The smile was incredibly chilling.

"Jin Qinghan… finally, I can’t even defeat you anymore…"

"Not long ago, Zhang Xusheng told me that I always focus on distant goals and never consider the problems at my feet. My life’s failures are all because of this. Others call me a genius, and I think I’m a genius too, so I aim too high and feel that I don’t need to think about what’s below me. The distant goals seem easy to reach, yet I keep tripping over things at my feet. Each failure is because of this…"

"This time it’s the same. I only focused on Xu Qingfan, wanting to battle him and prove myself to Zhang Xusheng. My hatred is controlled by Zhang Xusheng; I understand, but I just can’t control myself. In the end, I didn’t encounter Xu Qingfan, but I tripped over you."

"A genius? Ha ha, I am the most unsuccessful genius in history. Every time I think I have grown stronger, I always face a defeat. I gained the incredible power of the Phoenix using the ‘Divine Plate of Inheritance,’ mastered the evil supreme cultivation method ‘Guardian Deity Technique,’ yet was defeated by Xu Qingfan. I joined the Shura Clan and transformed myself into a Half Shura, not only increasing my strength to the late stage of the Astral Projection Stage but also gaining an incredibly powerful body, but I was defeated by you. I went to extreme lengths to gain power, yet I kept being defeated by my former subordinates. And as for Zhang Xusheng, I have never won against him…"

"You say I am useless? A lifetime of arrogance, a lifetime of being used, and a lifetime of failure…"

In that noisy battlefield, Jin Qinghan and Feng Qingtian seemed to be in a world of their own. Feng Qingtian mocked himself with a bitter smile, while Jin Qinghan’s gaze was filled with complex emotions.

Defeating Feng Qingtian was his goal for many years.

Feng Qingtian had long become his greatest obstacle.

Jin Qinghan had imagined the day he would defeat Feng Qingtian countless times, but when that day finally arrived, he found himself more disappointed than happy.

Because the one he defeated was not the real Feng Qingtian, not the proud and confident Feng Qingtian he remembered. The experiences of the past years had already caused Feng Qingtian to lose his way. He was no longer confident; he feared failure. So, in his quest for power, he took extreme measures, but after gaining strength, he became even more afraid of failing…

The Feng Qingtian of those days, in some ways, had already become a coward!

This version of Feng Qingtian could not display his true power and was certainly not the Feng Qingtian he wanted to defeat!

"Kill me, and prove your victory with my death. Isn’t this what you have always wanted?"

Feng Qingtian said with a smile, a smile that was cold and full of mockery.

But it was unclear whether this mockery was aimed at Jin Qinghan or at himself.

Yes, a goal pursued for many years was suddenly achieved in that moment; it was so easy, easier than imagined.

But after hearing Feng Qingtian’s words, for some reason, all Jin Qinghan felt was anger, overwhelming anger!

Whether Jin Qinghan admits it or not, Feng Qingtian is the person most similar to him!

Whether Jin Qinghan admits it or not, the reason he has worked so hard over the years was to defeat Feng Qingtian; defeating Feng Qingtian was his goal!

Whether Jin Qinghan admits it or not, when he was an enemy of Feng Qingtian, he felt not only hatred but also a deep respect that matched his hatred!

So, seeing Feng Qingtian in his fallen state, seeing this self-destructive Feng Qingtian, Jin Qinghan was enraged; he had never been so angry.

Jin Qinghan grabbed Feng Qingtian by the collar and pulled him up from the ground to face him.

"Smack!"

Jin Qinghan slapped Feng Qingtian on the face.

Feng Qingtian’s smile remained, filled with deep sadness, sharp sarcasm, and a hint of decline and self-destruction. To him, it seemed Jin Qinghan was humiliating him before a victory.

And for this, once-proud Feng Qingtian did not care at all. The loser, being humiliated, was only natural.

"Smack!"

Another slap, and Feng Qingtian still smiled.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

Jin Qinghan kept hitting Feng Qingtian, each slap harder than the last. Gradually, Feng Qingtian’s cheeks swelled, even though he was now part of the Shura Clan.

Slowly, the angry smile on Jin Qinghan’s face disappeared as Feng Qingtian felt pain. He finally felt humiliation!

Looking at Feng Qingtian’s eyes turning cold and filled with anger, Jin Qinghan finally smiled.

"What’s wrong? Have you finally learned to be angry? Have you finally understood humiliation? Have you remembered that you still have pride? Think about what you just said. Are you still Feng Qingtian? Are you still the one who wanted to restore the Feng family? You are not! You are just a coward, afraid of failure, too scared to face it! You are the biggest shame the Feng family has seen in thousands of years!"

"You say you often fail because you don’t pay attention to your steps, but why can’t you change this flaw? Because you’re always afraid to face your past failures. You don’t dare to learn from them, you unconsciously ignore your past failures. When facing failure, you only remind yourself that you are a genius! That’s why your failures and flaws will never change!"

As he shouted in anger, Jin Qinghan released his grip on Feng Qingtian’s collar, pushing him again, causing Feng Qingtian to fall to the ground once more.

"I’m not afraid to tell you that, indeed, in the past, I saw you as my target. Much of my success today is because of you! I even admired you, but now, seeing you like this, I feel ashamed as someone who once saw you as a rival!"

Then, Jin Qinghan pronounced slowly, "You do not deserve it!"

Suddenly, the fire Spirit Qi between heaven and earth surged wildly, even Xu Qingfan, the master, could not control it.

Feng Qingtian’s body floated up and then stood back on the ground, his eyes returning to their previous coldness.

Faintly, Jin Qinghan seemed to see the Feng Qingtian he once knew.

"Duel!"

An extremely cold voice burst from Feng Qingtian’s mouth; Jin Qinghan’s words completely awakened the pride that once belonged to him but had drifted away.

"Do you want to erase the shame I just put upon you with victory?"

Jin Qinghan’s face also turned icy, and he asked coldly.

Feng Qingtian did not answer; the fire Spirit Qi between heaven and earth became even more turbulent.

It is very clear that Feng Qingtian accepted it.

Jin Qinghan turned his head to look around, but saw that everything was going according to the original plan, and victory was gradually sliding towards humanity without needing Jin Qinghan to intervene.

Jin Qinghan slightly nodded, staring at Feng Qingtian, and said, "Alright, let’s duel! But not here!"

"What do you mean?"

"Defeating you is my goal, but I want to defeat the real you. I don’t want to take any advantage. Here, your strength is suppressed, and I have a huge boost. Once we fight, I will be guided by Junior Brother Xu, who can find all your weaknesses in an instant while in ‘Demonic Transformation’… So, if you want to duel with me, let’s leave this place!"

Upon hearing Jin Qinghan’s words, even Feng Qingtian couldn’t help but show admiration in his eyes. Besides that one time, he and Jin Qinghan had fought three times, and each time ended with his victory.

Each time, they were equally matched in strength.

This time, with the help of the "Shura Statue," Feng Qingtian’s strength reached the late stage of the Astral Projection Stage, with physical attack power that was not inferior to magical attacks, far surpassing Jin Qinghan’s early stage of the Astral Projection Stage.

It could be said that the gap in strength between Jin Qinghan and Feng Qingtian had never been so vast.

But in this situation, Jin Qinghan still decided to have a fair duel; this pride is truly unmatched.

"Good!"

Feng Qingtian said.

One gold and one red; two beams of light flew quickly out of the battlefield towards the area outside Xu Qingfan’s "Heaven and Earth Chess" control.

When the two left Xu Qingfan’s "Heaven and Earth Chess" control area, both Jin Qinghan’s empowered state and Feng Qingtian’s weakened state disappeared at the same time.

After flying a distance, Feng Qingtian and Jin Qinghan landed together in perfect harmony.

A great battle is about to begin.

This is a battle destined to happen.

Both of them have a feeling this might be their last encounter!
