Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1553: Chapter 355: The Kunlun Elders’ Trump Cards and the Escaping Ugly Girl (Part 2)

Elder Qi’s face turned grim.

Chen Jie said, ”Therefore, Elder Qi, consider my position too. Don’t make things difficult for me. We’re all just trying to make a living here. There’s no need for us to be at each other’s throats. It would be better for us to both take a step back. I’ll take the person with me, and we can part on good terms. Next time we meet in the Jianghu, at least there’s some goodwill between us, right?”

Upon hearing Chen Jie’s words, Elder Qin shouted angrily, ”Chen Jiusi, after all is said and done, you’re still not willing to let it go, right? In that case, there’s no need for me to be polite with you...”

”Senior Brother!”

Seeing that Elder Qin was ready to fight, Elder Qi said to him, ”Senior Brother, calm down for a moment.”

Then he looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Brother Chen, is there really no room for negotiation in this matter?”

Chen Jie heard this and glanced at Elder Qi, saying, ”Please forgive me, Elder Qi.”

Elder Qi sighed, looked at Elder Qin, and Elder Qin said, ”I told you long ago, don’t waste words with him, don’t waste words with him. If you can fight, why bother saying all those useless things. Fight, just start the fight!”

”Take him down first, then we’ll talk.”

Elder Qin felt humiliated for being swept by the Divine Dragon Tail earlier, so without further words, he directly attacked, swinging his longsword straight at Chen Jie.

Although he was only in the Molten Furnace Lower Realm, Elder Qin had the strongest desire to fight in Kunlun, so he was often called Madman Wu in Kunlun.

Seeing that Elder Qi’s babbling couldn’t persuade Chen Jiusi, Elder Qin was excited, thinking, ”Haha, finally, it’s my turn.”

He actually didn’t like listening to Elder Qi, believing that Elder Qi was too soft. Elder Qi’s usual approach was to navigate the Jianghu first and avoid fighting if possible. He often advised Elder Qin, ”This Jianghu isn’t about fighting; it’s about human interactions.”

Elder Qin dismissed this notion, believing that the Jianghu was about the law of the jungle, where only the biggest fists held logic. In his eyes, the truth lay beneath his sword’s edge.

He disliked navigating through Jianghu diplomacy.

It was only after seeing Elder Qi’s failed negotiation that he unsheathed his sword and engaged Chen Jie in battle due to a disagreement.

At this moment, Elder Qin swung his sword, and it sliced through the air, leaving a stunning sword beam. The next moment, Elder Qin was already closing in on Chen Jiusi.

The first strike, Sky-cutting Sword.

Seeing this, Chen Jie knew there was no way to avoid a fight today, so he attacked directly.

Seeing this, Elder Qi frowned, then quietly reached for a messenger pigeon at his waist. He always carried this pigeon for communication. Taking out a charcoal pencil, he quickly wrote something on a piece of paper and then released the pigeon immediately.

Chen Jie was battling Elder Qin and suddenly noticed Elder Qi releasing a messenger pigeon. Startled, he waved a hand, sending a palm technique towards the pigeon, trying to bring it down to avoid trouble.

But at this time, Elder Qin sliced through Chen Jie’s palm power with his sword, looking at Chen Jie with mockery, and said, ”Chen Jiusi, how dare you get distracted during our fight. You really don’t take me seriously, do you?”

In response, Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said, ”Elder Qin, you’re not so honorable yourself. While we’re fighting, your companion is sending messages. Are you afraid you can’t defeat me and need reinforcements?”

Elder Qin squinted his eyes and said, ”Hmph, do you think I need help to deal with you?”

Chen Jie retorted, ”Then why else would you stop me from striking down that pigeon?”

Elder Qin replied, ”Do you really think I’m a fool? Although our duel shouldn’t involve external forces, why shouldn’t I use my great advantage?”

At this, Chen Jie struck back, pushing Elder Qin away, and said, ”It seems you’re not as naive as I thought.”

Elder Qin chuckled coldly, ”Naive people wouldn’t have survived this long.”

With that, he launched seven consecutive sword strikes, each aimed at Chen Jie’s vital points. Unfazed, Chen Jie responded with the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, but Chen Jiusi was a bit anxious now and lacked the composure he initially had.

Elder Qi had released the pigeon, and he couldn’t stop it. Who knew where the pigeon would fly to or whether it would cause irrevocable harm to Chen Jie? Thus, Chen Jie’s mind was racing, filled with tension, because although he was confident against these two elders, he couldn’t handle a few more experts joining.

Chen Jie attacked directly, seeing Elder Qin swing a sword at him. Chen Jie shouted in anger, ”Summer God’s anger!”

With a booming roar, a terrifying flame power erupted from Chen Jiusi’s body. The powerful flames surged, instantly sending Elder Qin flying.

After being hit by this attack, Elder Qin was immediately blasted backward.

Step, step, step...

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

The longsword embedded in the ground, Elder Qin steadied himself with its power, then looked at Chen Jie, only to see a colossal deity statue suddenly appear behind him—Zhu Rong’s statue, no less.

The Fire God Zhu Rong, bare-chested, head touching the sky, feet stamping the earth, wielded two snakes.

Two fire snakes coiled around Zhu Rong’s hands, their might comparable to fire dragons.

At this moment, Zhu Rong’s illusion stood firm behind Chen Jie. Chen Jie composed himself, raising his hand for one of the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms: [Sudden Appearance]

A fiery dragon roared towards Elder Qin the next moment.

Seeing this, Elder Qin immediately held his sword in front and pierced forward, the sword’s point aiming into the void. The next moment, a sword strike shot directly at the fire dragon.

Roar, roar...

The fire dragon roared as it came, and Elder Qin’s sword light met it, resulting in a deafening explosion as their techniques clashed in midair.
