Chapter 129: Defeat Deng Qiu!

"We won!"

"Our captain won!"

Xiaao Zhan and the others had truly witnessed the extent of Qin Chen’s strength this time.

A chorus of gasps of surprise rose up.

They, as members of Qin Chen’s team, naturally felt incredibly proud of their captain’s powerful abilities.

"My apologies."

Qin Chen looked at Hou Yan with a smile.

"Hou Yan actually lost!"

"I can’t believe it!"

Seeing Hou Yan defeated by Qin Chen, many of the Blood State Guards wore expressions of astonishment.

Hou Yan’s face was grim, evidently not having expected to lose this betting match.

With so many onlookers, Hou Yan couldn’t well renege on the bet, so he had no choice but to hand over two thousand points to Qin Chen.

Seeing the additional two thousand points on his points card, Qin Chen was overjoyed.

Pain was clear on Hou Yan’s face.

He didn’t know how many sea beasts he would have to slay to earn those two thousand points.

And now, just like that, they were gone.

"Anyone else want to bet points with me?"

Qin Chen asked with a smile, looking at the Blood State Guards who were spectating.

He was in need of points, and there was no quicker way to accumulate them than through a points betting match.

However, no one responded to his words.

Clearly, they had all previously regarded Qin Chen as a fat sheep, but they hadn’t expected him to be so strong.

Among them, Hou Yan’s strength was considered average, and they had seen very clearly how he was defeated.

Thus, at this moment, they were not daring to hastily agree to the challenge.

"I’ll wage a points bet with you. Do you dare accept?"

Right then, a thin and tall man suddenly stepped forward.

"It’s Deng Qiu!"

"Deng Qiu? Isn’t he at the Yuan Condensation Second Layer?"

"Yes, Deng Qiu is only second to Zhang Xin in terms of strength among our Third Thousand-Man Team’s centurions!"

As Deng Qiu stepped forward, the Blood State Guards immediately felt a stir.

Clearly,

Deng Qiu had a great reputation within the Third Thousand-Man Team.

"Captain Deng, aren’t you at the Yuan Condensation Second Layer? Our captain is only at the Body Refining Eighth Layer!"

Unable to hold back, Xiaao Zhan spoke up.

Wasn’t this bullying?

To step forward for a points betting match at Yuan Condensation Second Layer?

There was a full four-realms difference between them!

And, moreover,

there was the vast chasm between the Body Refinement Realm and the Yuan Condensation Realm.

Hearing this, Deng Qiu’s expression shifted slightly, but it quickly returned to normal. "He asked if anyone else wanted to wage a points bet with him. He didn’t say there had to be any particular cultivation level."

"It’s fine."

Qin Chen smiled and shook his head at Xiaao Zhan.

Then he turned his gaze towards Deng Qiu.

His eyes narrowed. Although Deng Qiu’s cultivation was at Yuan Condensation Second Layer, the same as Luu Zhen Nan’s, Qin Chen’s killing of Luu Zhen Nan had been under unusual circumstances.

Moreover, even though Luu Zhen Nan’s cultivation was the same as Deng Qiu’s, Deng Qiu was undoubtedly far stronger.

Meaning, dealing with Deng Qiu wasn’t going to be easy.

After all, there was a difference between them.

However,

even so, Qin Chen was still somewhat confident.

He had many trump cards at his disposal. Others might not manage, but perhaps he really could.

"How much do you want to bet?" Qin Chen asked with a smile.

"You’re agreeing?"

As Qin Chen consented, the Blood State Guards were all momentarily stunned.

Even Deng Qiu himself was somewhat taken aback, but soon, a smile appeared on his face.

"I saw that you just won two thousand points from Hou Yan. How about a bet of two thousand points?"

Deng Qiu smiled lightly.

"Alright."

Qin Chen nodded.

Deng Qiu felt elated.

"Be careful!"

Deng Qiu bellowed.

Immediately, he activated the elemental power within his body, transforming it into a massive Primordial Power Fist Mark, and slammed it towards Qin Chen.

Feeling the overwhelming aura rushing towards him, Qin Chen’s expression grew solemn.

"Lightning Blade Technique—Lightning Slash!"

Qin Chen didn’t hesitate, nor did he choose to go fist to fist with Deng Qiu, but directly used his saber technique instead.

With one slash, Qin Chen instantly felt an overwhelming force sending his body flying out.

Thump, thump, thump!

Qin Chen’s footsteps scraped across the ground for quite some time before he finally came to a stop.

Deng Qiu’s punch had made Qin Chen retreat more than a hundred meters.

"So strong!"

Only then did Qin Chen realize the true strength of Deng Qiu.

Far stronger than Hou Yan, that was clear.

Obviously.

Once a martial artist’s cultivation reached the Yuan Condensation Realm, the gap between each realm was substantial, not as easily bridged as in the lower Body Refinement Realm.

"Ha ha! He’s going to lose!"

Seeing this, many Blood Continent Guards showed no surprise and laughed out loud.

After all.

The strength of Deng Qiu spoke for itself.

The gap between Qin Chen and Deng Qiu was too wide.

A hint of joyous smile appeared on Deng Qiu’s face, as if he had already seen the two thousand points in his grasp.

"Bring it on!"

In Qin Chen’s eyes, there was now War Intent.

"This kid, he’s actually a combat maniac!"

Seeing Qin Chen filled with War Intent, many of the Blood Continent Guards were taken aback.

Swoosh!

Deng Qiu didn’t hesitate, and punched out again, releasing his Second Layer Yuan Condensation cultivation to the extreme.

"Divine Vein Awakening!"

At that moment, Qin Chen didn’t hesitate and directly unleashed his Divine Vein Awakening.

However, he didn’t use the full power of Divine Vein Awakening, but only half of it.

A twenty-fold increase in combat power!

Under the brilliant enhancement of the Lightning Blade Intent, another slash followed.

It was indeed the Third Move of the Lightning Blade Technique, Lightning Void Breaking!

This slash was utterly terrifying.

"Crackle!"

Deng Qiu was clearly shocked by the sudden surge in Qin Chen’s power.

Alarmed, he hurriedly dodged, but Qin Chen’s slash still cut open his garment.

Had his response been a bit slower, Qin Chen’s slash might have left him with a gaping wound.

"What a terrifying slash!"

Qin Chen’s slash was so impressive, the Blood Continent Guards exclaimed in amazement.

"I didn’t expect you to be this strong. It looks like I can’t hold back anymore; otherwise, I might actually lose to you!"

Qin Chen’s slash made Deng Qiu wary.

Saying this.

He took out a spear from his Qiankun Bag.

Clearly, he was a Spear Cultivator!

The spear was his strong suit.

"Long Dragon Attack!"

Deng Qiu’s spear, a Mid-grade Primordial Artifact, struck out like a Jiao Dragon soaring from the sea, utterly fearsome.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Instantly.

Deng Qiu and Qin Chen engaged in battle, exchanging blows furiously and intensely.

"My gosh, he’s only at Body Refining Eighth Layer; if he were in the Yuan Condensation Realm, just how strong would he be?"

Witnessing Qin Chen fighting Deng Qiu to such an extent, they were all incredibly shocked.

"Small Movement Step!"

Suddenly.

Qin Chen’s body shifted, and he appeared right beside Deng Qiu.

"What?"

With the Super Perfect Realm Small Movement Step executed, Deng Qiu couldn’t react in time.

"Lightning Blade Technique—Lightning Void Breaking!"

Swoosh!

Qin Chen harshly chopped down, cutting a huge gash across Deng Qiu’s right arm.

Through the flesh, one could see Deng Qiu’s bones.

Clang!

The spear in Deng Qiu’s hand immediately fell to the ground.

He clutched his right arm, blood flowing unstoppably.

"This—"

Seeing this.

The crowd around the area was in an uproar.
