Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 86 This is what you owe me (Third Update)

"The method of restoring vital energy after a break in the pulse..."

Su Cheng sighed and instantly recognized the technique the other party was using.

"Surprised?" Qian Renxue's smile returned.

"Brother Su Cheng, it seems you have no choice but to come back to the Spirit Hall with me."

"Who exactly are you?"

Su Cheng gazed at Qian Renxue's familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, and voiced the question that had troubled him for a long time.

He wasn't really surprised.

Instead, there was a sense of relief, like "I knew it."

However, my mind is still somewhat confused.

It would be better if the real-world Qian Renxue also acquired those memories.

Given her past actions, it's understandable that she might target him in the real world.

The problem is, he is certain that the person in front of him is definitely not the one he knows.

He knows Qian Renxue too well.

Regardless of their style of conduct, interpersonal relationships, or even their cultivation level, the person before him was vastly different from the Qian Renxue he remembered.

"Who am I? I am Qian Renxue, don't you know that?"

Upon hearing Su Cheng's question, Qian Renxue couldn't help but chuckle, a strange emotion flickering in her eyes that was hard to decipher.

"You know what I mean."

"Once we return to the Spirit Hall, you'll have plenty of time to understand."

Qian Renxue didn't pay attention to his attitude and wording, and casually replied.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

"What, you've already lost, and you still want to—"

Before she could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed, and she turned to look around.

The scattered sword energy that she had shattered seemed to come alive, circulating and growing on its own, its power increasing at an extraordinary speed.

"Fear is an instinct of living beings, but it is not a weakness. Especially for humans, who are the most emotional beings, in desperate situations, they can always unleash unimaginable power, which we call hope," Su Cheng said calmly.

He reached out and summoned countless sword energies from the ground, the jungle, and the leaves, densely surrounding the two of them.

Even a tiny ember can ignite a prairie fire.

Sword XIV, Ember!

This sword technique combines his "Sentimental Sword" with sword skills based on the fire and wood elements.

When used, it's not actually that strong; at least in terms of instantaneous burst power, it's far inferior to the first two sword techniques.

However, given enough time, this sword technique can evolve into an even more terrifying state.

Su Cheng's first three soul rings did not contain fire or wood attributes, but the Longevity Sword itself contained the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, and was further enhanced by the Five Elements Domain. In addition, with the residual power of Sword Thirteen earlier, the power of this sword technique was not to be underestimated.

In contrast, Qian Renxue is clearly too late to react.

Her fifth soul skill just now did interrupt Su Cheng's sword move.

However, her soul skill was completely destroyed in that clash.

Qian Renxue's method of severing meridians and replenishing qi was not very proficient; she could only use some of her soul skills, the strongest of which was the Angelic Holy Sword she had just used.

Different soul skills correspond to different soul power circulation paths.

The meridians and acupoints in the human body are incredibly complex. Even Su Cheng couldn't fully understand them, so Qian Renxue was naturally far behind.

In the past, in the simulated world, all of her soul skills were designed and guided by Su Cheng.

In reality, her soul skills are different from what she remembers, so it's obviously impossible for her to figure out how to use other soul skills on her own in just a few years.

Moreover, within the Heaven Dou Empire, she was burdened with miscellaneous duties, and even using all her remaining energy for cultivation was not enough, so where would she find the time to further refine her soul skills?

Even this Angelic Holy Sword technique was something she mastered over several years thanks to her natural talent, because she had similar moves in her past memories.

Moreover, even if the Qi-restoring technique is used, it still takes time, and even the most powerful soul skills cannot be cast instantly.

If she were to recklessly launch an attack at this moment, Su Cheng's reaction speed would allow him to immediately unleash these sword energies and injure her.

"Looking for hope in despair...?"

Looking at the sword energies poised to strike all around, Qian Renxue murmured and repeated.

Then he looked at Su Cheng standing in front of him and said, "You really always manage to do something unexpected."

"call……"

Seeing that Qian Renxue did not continue to forcefully attack, Su Cheng let out a long breath.

"So, what do you say now? I won this bet, didn't I?"

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow. "What kind of bet?"

Su Cheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "The young master of the Spirit Hall, are you going to break your promise?"

"The young master of the Spirit Hall broke his promise? Who said that?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue looked surprised and turned to look at the Porcupine Douluo, "Uncle Porcupine Blood, did you say that?"

"I neither said nor heard of nor saw any gambling."

"Porcupine Douluo said calmly."

Immediately, the oppressive aura of a titled Douluo swept out.

Those sword energies, which were not particularly powerful to begin with, instantly vanished under this oppressive force.

Su Cheng fell silent.

Indeed, given the other party's strength, the so-called agreement is nothing but a joke.

Such promises are nothing more than an excuse for the weak to seek comfort and for the strong to offer charity.

Seeing that he remained silent, Qian Renxue waved her hand and laughed, "Alright, come back to the Spirit Hall with me. It's far better than staying in this tiny Heaven Dou Empire. You should know better than anyone how much the Spirit Hall has accumulated. When it comes to cultivation resources and all kinds of knowledge, where in the world can compare?"

She remained silent for a moment after saying that.

Then, fixing his gaze on Su Cheng, he said, "Besides, this is what you owe me."

Su Cheng's eyes twitched slightly, and he was momentarily speechless.

At this moment, he was completely suppressed by the aura of the Porcupine Douluo and could not move. His own soul power was also almost gone, and it seemed that he had no chance to resist.

Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with pleasure, and a subtle sense of excitement welled up in her heart.

"You're right, this is what I owe you. But I'm sorry, I really can't go back to the Spirit Hall with you right now."

After a long silence, Su Cheng finally spoke again.

Then he raised his head and shouted, "Dugu Bo, stop hiding! Why don't you come out here right now!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression changed, and she turned to look.

There was silence all around, and no one responded to Su Cheng's shouts.

Seeing this, she turned back and looked at Su Cheng with a strange expression.

At this moment, the Porcupine Douluo's expression suddenly changed slightly, sensing something amiss.

Seeing no movement, Su Cheng's face grew even darker, and he said in a deep voice, "If you don't come out now, you'll never have to come out again. Just hide back in your Yin-Yang Well and wait to die."

"How boring, how did you know I was here?"

As a slightly aged voice rang out, a figure emerged from the woods.

I thought the next chapter had already been published, but it's still under review and hasn't been released yet. I'll have to ask the editor tomorrow. I'm really sorry!
