The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Chapter 136 Battle Of Dignity

"You only have these two choices now."

"Make your choice."

The man with half of his face covered gave his conditions, asking Chu Qianqiu to make a choice.

Liu Jiangnan couldn't bear to listen anymore.

He felt quite embarrassed sitting here now.

Because he knew that the other party had no intention of finding him, they were just using him to involve Chu Qianqiu.

Now that Chu Qianqiu had come, his task was complete.

But Chu Qianqiu couldn't leave now, and he might face the disaster of losing money or even death.

Among these options, of course, it was most practical to pay money to avoid disaster.

But he felt that Chu Qianqiu probably wouldn't agree.

So he spoke up, hoping to help Chu Qianqiu, at least to share some of the burden.

"Brother Humo, how about I share this responsibility with Chu Qianqiu?"

"After all, I killed some people from the Xiao family."

"In this way, if Chu Qianqiu agrees to pay money, I can also help share a part of it, he doesn't need to hand over everything."

"Secondly, if he wants to go to the battlefield, I can accompany him. The two of us can kill ten generals of the Falling Star Empire together. How about that?"

Liu Jiangnan made this suggestion and stood up.

The man named Humo, with half of his face covered, glanced at him, indicating that he should mind his own business, otherwise he wouldn't be polite.

"You, Hujian Sect, are a force outside of the Rising Sun Empire, it has nothing to do with us."

"And if you replace us and kill the generals of the Falling Star Empire, when their strong ones wipe out your sect, we won't come to help you."

"You can go back, this is none of your business."

They quickly sent Liu Jiangnan away. At this time, the other elders who were also captured came out.

They were released because Chu Qianqiu had come, so they could leave now.

However, looking at the expression of their sect master, the elders didn't dare to move.

Liu Jiangnan naturally wouldn't leave. If he left now, wouldn't it be a stain on his lifelong integrity?

Liu Jiangnan had always been straightforward and sincere to his friends.

Moreover, Chu Qianqiu was now his daughter's beloved, he couldn't just abandon him.

"It doesn't matter, if the Falling Star Empire retaliates against me, we'll see then."

"Chu Qianqiu, you speak up and make a decision, I'll bear it with you!"

He turned his head and looked at Chu Qianqiu.

Liu Jiangnan had already made up his mind to stand by Chu Qianqiu's side.

Liu Ruoyan had been listening to her father and the others' conversation all along. She also looked at the young man beside her and tightly held his hand.

Chu Qianqiu looked around, glanced at the elders present, and finally turned to look at the man with half of his face covered. Disdainfully, he said something that no one in the room had expected.

"What are you, I won't choose either of them."

As soon as he spoke, everyone present was shocked, and they were all dumbfounded.

Liu Jiangnan almost had his eyes pop out. He thought he was prepared for everything, but Chu Qianqiu didn't follow the script and brought about an outcome he least wanted to face.

"You're asking for trouble!"

Humo stood up at this moment, overturning the chessboard on the stone table, his black single eye glaring angrily.

He was furious. He didn't expect the other party to dare to speak to him like this. It seemed that the other party wanted to die here today.

A powerful aura erupted. Humo was clearly a Nascent Soul stage early cultivator, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Although Liu Jiangnan, who was present, could completely suppress him, his identity was special and it was not easy to provoke him, so he could only let him vent his anger.

Feeling the opponent's formidable power, Chu Qianqiu was prepared to cover himself with Heavenly Fire at any moment and escape if he couldn't win.

He knew it was inappropriate to start a fight here; he had to wait for the army of demonic beasts to arrive.

"What's wrong? Are you sure you want to oppose me?"

Chu Qianqiu drew his Chilian Dragon Sword, appearing eager to try it out, but in reality, he was preparing to call for reinforcements.

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you? Kid, how do you want to die now?"

Humo laughed, surprised that the other party dared to say such things to him. His body was enveloped in black flames, ready to attack.

Seeing that the other party didn't waste any time, Chu Qianqiu quickly had Heavenly Fire cover his entire body.

In an instant, he disappeared from his original position, leaving no trace.

Humo was startled, wondering what kind of trick this was and how the kid suddenly vanished.

"Where did you go?"

"Come out, or your people will suffer!"

"Heh, I'm still here, don't worry."

With one sentence, Chu Qianqiu could tell that the other party couldn't find him.

Chu Qianqiu felt delighted, thinking that his daughter's technique was indeed amazing. Even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would be easily toyed with in front of him.

He also discovered that Humo practiced the same technique as him, a fire attribute cultivation method.

As long as he activated his technique, it seemed that flames would ignite all over his body.

And to Chu Qianqiu's surprise, he could absorb the black flames from the other party as his own nourishment, continuously strengthening himself.

This was one of the abilities of the Flameless Heavenly Fire Art.

As long as it was a fire attribute cultivation method one level lower than the Flameless Heavenly Fire Art, it would be suppressed by the Heavenly Fire Art.

The suppressed flames would be absorbed without any resistance, like a big fish eating a small fish.

As long as the opponent's strength wasn't too strong and the gap in their actual strength was too great, Chu Qianqiu could continuously absorb the power of the flames from the other party, weakening them and, to some extent, even immunizing himself against their fire attacks.

"Huh? A fire attribute cultivation method."

"Very well, you're finished, you know?"

Chu Qianqiu suddenly realized that he could manipulate Humo. He planned to tease him a bit and suppress his arrogance.

Honestly, if this guy could bow down and apologize, promising not to make unreasonable demands, Chu Qianqiu could refrain from summoning the great demons from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

After all, if those monsters were summoned, his enemies wouldn't just be the small Rising Sun Empire, but the entire human world.

This was something Chu Qianqiu still needed to consider.

"Damn it... Why is my Black Flame dissipating in all directions?"

"Did you do something?"

He angrily launched a punch of Black Flame into the sky for no reason.

Furious, Humo could only rely on the direction of his flowing Black Flame to sense Chu Qianqiu's approximate location and use his techniques.

He realized that this kid was not simple; it seemed like he could absorb his spiritual power.

If that was the case, then he had indeed underestimated this guy before.

"Tsk tsk, how dare you attack me?"

"With such a powerful attack in the Forge City, if you kill the people here, I wonder how the Rising Sun Empire will deal with you?"

"Will they kill you, exterminate your people, or perhaps send you to the battlefield to die?"

"You better think it through now."
