Eternal Sword

Chapter 357: Scared, Scared
“I never thought that this would happen.”

"Yes, there have been deaths in previous genius competitions, but I didn't expect that Tsukiyomaru would die in this one, and he committed suicide."

"It is said that the Moonlight Sword is an ominous sword. Anyone who tries to wield it without sufficient cultivation will die suddenly. It seems that this sword is indeed ominous."

"Just now this sword fell into Murong Haitang's hands. Next, won't he also..."

The crowd around the venue was talking and whispering.

Some people felt sorry for Tsukiyotaro, and quite a few people were discussing ominous things, which became more and more mysterious.

Not only Yue Yecang, but the other three military leaders also knew the truth about this matter.

The so-called ominous rumors were nothing more than news deliberately released by the Yue Ye clan.

First of all, it adds a bit of mystery to this artifact.

Secondly, it can also discourage others who want to get their hands on this artifact.

In the attic, Amaterasu Chizuru stood up silently, walked through the passage and headed downwards.

The officiating officer seemed to realize something.

At the same time, Cong Yunjing also stood out from the crowd.

The two of them are as famous as Tsukiyotaro and are known as the three geniuses that appear once in a hundred years in Tianhuzhou.

Tsukiyomaru is dead. Even if it does not conform to the rules of the genius competition, they must stand up and restore the reputation of Tianhuzhou's martial arts!

"Look, Jing is on stage!"

"Look over there, Chizuru is coming down too!"

"Cong Yunjing, Qianhe, they are the last resort for our Tianhu Martial Arts!"

"Don't worry, Jing and Chizuru will never lose!"

Everyone in the spectator seats placed all their hopes on Cong Yunjing and Amaterasu Chizuru.

"My name is Cong Yunjing."

After Cong Yunjing stepped onto the stage, he bowed and said, "You just fought with many people, take a rest first."

"That's not necessary."

Chen Tang asked tentatively: "Do you want to use the Congyun Sword?"

"Ok?"

Cong Yunjing frowned and shook his head, saying, "The Cong Yun Sword is a divine weapon passed down by the Sea God. Even the Grandmaster cannot pull it out and cannot control it. How can I use it?"

"Forget it, I won't fight anymore."

Chen Tang waved his hand.

Even if Cong Yunjing could control the Cong Yun Sword, he would still have to be cautious.

Having just absorbed the power from the Moonlight Sword, the three forces in Dantian were in a delicate state of balance.

If the power of the Congyun Sword is really absorbed, the balance will definitely be broken, and no one knows what will happen.

There's no need to take that risk right now.

"What do you mean!"

Cong Yunjing looked annoyed and said, "Don't you think I am your opponent if I don't use the Cong Yun Sword? Murong Haitang, you really look down on me!"

"you misunderstood."

Chen Tang pretended to be sad, sighed, and said: "I originally planned to learn the major martial arts of Tianhuzhou, learn from the descendants, and verify each other's martial arts, but I didn't expect that Yue Ye Taro died unexpectedly. This was definitely not my intention. Alas."

After saying that, Chen Tang lost interest and left in anger.

Cong Yunjing was stunned.

The spectators in the stands were also stunned.

Hearing Chen Tang's words, everyone seemed to be able to feel Chen Tang's regret for Yue Ye Taro's death.

It seems that the death of Tsukiyotaro had a significant impact on him.

This is completely different from the arrogant attitude that Chen Tang just displayed.

For a moment, everyone was confused as to which one was the real Murong Haitang.

"and many more……"

Cong Yunjing was the first to react. He quickly stopped Chen Tang and asked, "Didn't you want to compete for first place in the genius competition just now?"

"They are all empty names, so it's better not to fight for them."

Chen Tang put his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.

Cong Yunjing: “…” You’re not going to fight anymore?
In fact, Chen Tang didn’t really care much about the title of No. 1 in the genius battle.

The only things he was thinking about were the two artifacts.

Now that we have gotten one, we might as well stop while we are ahead.

Continuing to fight would only lead to more complications and intensify the conflict with various forces in Tianhu Continent, which would not be worth the cost.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, his attacks were extremely measured, just to hurt and defeat the opponent, and he stopped when the time was right, without causing any harm to anyone's life.

This is Tianhuzhou after all.

Even with Shen Che's protection, he couldn't act recklessly and kill indiscriminately.

Tsukiyotaro's death was indeed an accident.

When Amaterasu Chizuru saw Chen Tang's reaction, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to her mind.

She thought of the scene in Amaterasu Palace where this person picked up the Amaterasu Treasure Mirror.

This man behaved in an arrogant and ignorant manner, forcing the Yue Ye clan to sacrifice the Yue Ye Sword, which was then taken by him.

Just now, he seemed to be interested in the Congyun Sword...

Amaterasu Chizuru came up with a terrible guess!

"Shut up!"

Seeing Chen Tang avoiding fighting, the people in the spectator seats couldn't help but boo.

"Murong Haitang, you are scared!"

"That's right, what excuses are you looking for? It's just an empty reputation, and you're still being stubborn!"

"Murong Haitang is scared, haha!"

"Scream, scream again! Weren't you very arrogant and tough just now?!"

Chen Tang just ridiculed Tianhuzhou martial arts, and everyone was feeling angry.

Now that he finally got the chance, he started to attack Chen Tang.

Some of the words sounded extremely harsh, and even Cong Yunjing frowned slightly when he heard them.

Chen Tang, however, showed no anxiety or annoyance. He bowed slightly to the people around him, smiled faintly, and said, "You just spoke without restraint and nonsense. The martial arts of Tianhuzhou are indeed powerful. I am afraid of you."

Chen Tang believed that there must be spies from Hermit Continent in this venue.

So far, he has always restrained himself and has not used martial arts that are easy to be exposed, such as Lion's Roar.

It's getting dark outside, so it's best to get out as soon as possible.

There's no need to keep wasting time here just for a false reputation.

Chen Tang's reaction made Amaterasu Chizuru feel a little confused.

This person was just so arrogant, looked down on everyone and was extremely presumptuous.

He had clearly won battle after battle and was invincible, but now he acted modest and prudent...

Amaterasu Chizuru would never believe that this person would be afraid.

Does this person really think that Cong Yunjing is not worth his effort?
"We can't let him go!"

Someone from the Yue Ye clan shouted.

Since Yue Ye Taro was dead, they naturally didn't want Chen Tang to just leave like that.

"Ajing, he just looked down on our Tianhuzhou martial arts. We must teach him a lesson!"

"We must beat him into submission!"

"That's right! Let him see the true martial arts of our Tianhu Continent!"

"This person clearly won, but he said that our Tianhu Continent's martial arts are powerful and that he was afraid. He was clearly just trying to be polite!"

Chen Tang's reaction, on the contrary, aroused everyone's emotions.

The deputy ceremonial officer also straightened his back and said loudly, "That's right! This man was so arrogant just now and insulted our Tianhuzhou martial arts. We can't let him step down so easily!"

"Ajing, leave him alone!"

Cong Yun Chaichuan also spoke.

Cong Yunjing nodded, and with a flash of his body, he stopped Chen Tang before he was about to step down from the stage.

Chen Tang sighed softly, stretched his neck, and murmured, "If you guys are like this, then don't blame me..."
