Chapter 708 Damaged Dao Heart
"Ning Zhichuan!!!"
Seeing that his palm strike aimed at the brat was blocked, Wang Renhai, the sect leader of the Heavenly Array Sect, had a gloomy face and shouted in a low voice, barely suppressing his anger!
What do you mean by this?! ...
"Can't you see my son being humiliated by this person?!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhichuan said calmly, "Could it be that Sect Leader Wang is unaware that a life-or-death battle is taking place?"
"If you don't want your son to be humiliated, then just make him admit defeat."
"To be honest, a life-or-death battle already means putting life and death aside."
"But the way this kid is doing right now shows that he doesn't want to kill your son at all; instead, he's giving him a way to live."
"Logically speaking, your son should be thanking him!"
"Otherwise, he could have killed your son with a single sword stroke long ago."
These words made countless people present suddenly realize the truth!
"It seems that Valley Master Ning is right!"
"According to the rules of the life-or-death arena battle, one is indeed responsible for their own life or death, but what this kid is doing now is clearly an attempt to spare Wang Teng's life!"
"It seems we were too shallow. We thought that kid was deliberately humiliating Wang Teng."
"Thinking about it this way, if we don't deliberately humiliate him like this, how could Wang Teng, with his arrogant personality, possibly admit defeat? We don't know how long the fight would go on."
"After all, the rules of the life-or-death arena battle are that it only ends when one side is killed or falls, or when one side voluntarily admits defeat."
"This kid is clearly stronger than Wang Teng, but we don't want to kill him, so this is the only way we can do it."
"..."
The comments from the onlookers completely reversed their previous negative impression of Lin Que, leaving Lin Que, the person involved, completely dumbfounded!
No, what's wrong with you guys?
I was really humiliating him!
It was intentional; I wasn't faking it!
And he really wanted to kill him with one sword. He didn't say he didn't want to kill him; he was just trying to catch a big fish!
At this moment, even Ning Yanxue, Liu Qingyi and the others looked at Lin Que with suspicion. Did this guy really have such a good conscience?
Seeing the gazes of those people, Lin Que felt embarrassed. Holding his sword, he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about what happened next.
As Wang Renhai listened to the murmurs around him, which sounded so eloquent and reasonable, his face turned pale and then purple, looking extremely unpleasant!
But the eyes that were fixed on Lin Que remained unchanged, filled with endless killing intent, and it even became more intense.
At this moment, the group of old monsters who had been with him below the platform were all looking at him anxiously, and they kept exchanging glances, as if they were hinting at something.
After a moment, Wang Renhai glanced at the crowd below the stage, then at Ning Zhichuan, who looked calm and collected, and finally could only shout at Wang Teng with great frustration!
"Teng'er!"
"Admit defeat immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Teng, who was still struggling on the ground, froze for a moment and said in disbelief, "Dad, what did you say?!"
"What am I supposed to do with this child...?"
"I told you to admit defeat immediately, didn't you hear me?!" Before Wang Teng could finish speaking, Wang Renhai shouted again, "Do you want to die?!"
This loud shout silenced everyone present!
All eyes were focused on Wang Teng, who was still lying on the ground struggling, wanting to see what choice he would make.
Seeing that Wang Teng had struggled for so long and still couldn't get up, it must be that the purple lightning bolts had seriously injured him. This made everyone turn their attention back to the nascent soul phantom sitting cross-legged in the void, with its eyes closed and surrounded by purple light.
A flicker of fear involuntarily flashed in his eyes!
After a while, Wang Teng clenched his teeth, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, as if he were about to grind his teeth to pieces.
He clenched his fists tightly, and the bulging veins on his arms seemed to tell of his unwillingness to accept defeat!
I! Give! My! Defeat!
A voice filled with utter humiliation was squeezed out from between Wang Teng's teeth, followed by a loud "boom" as he slammed his fist heavily onto the bluestone ground.
After that punch, it was as if he had exhausted all his strength. His hands were limply spread out, and his pupils were filled with a hollow emptiness.
Seeing this, everyone felt a pang of pity for Wang Teng at that moment!
From this moment on, a crack appeared in Wang Teng's Dao Heart, and as time goes by, this crack will continue to expand.
Unless he can overcome the cause and effect that caused the rift in his Dao heart, the rift can be repaired.
Unfortunately, it depends on whether Lin Que agrees or not.
Without a word, Ning Zhichuan released Wang Renhai's arm. Wang Renhai then walked slowly toward Wang Teng, but as he passed Lin Que, his gloomy eyes glanced at Lin Que.
It seemed to be indicating something.
However, Lin Que showed no concern or fear whatsoever, and instead shrugged with a smile.
"Humph!"
After letting out a cold snort, Wang Renhai walked up to Wang Teng, grabbed him, and then tried to leave the array platform.
Seeing this, Lin Que spoke up at this moment...
"Hey!"
"Brother Wang!"
"Now that you've admitted defeat, shouldn't you keep your promise?"
"I wonder if the young sect master of the Heavenly Array Sect is planning to renege on his debt?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Renhai's expression turned cold again, but Wang Teng didn't say anything more. He simply took out an ancient book from his storage ring and threw it at Lin Que.
However, when he threw the ancient book away, a clear look of anger and heartache flashed across his face!
But there was no way around it. If he went back on his word in front of everyone, he wouldn't be able to stay in Cloudview Valley anymore, since the bet they had agreed on had been witnessed by everyone in the valley.
Immediately afterward, without saying a word, Wang Renhai grabbed Wang Teng and disappeared from the spot, leaving the array platform.
Similarly, the several old monsters who had been with him also hurriedly left, not daring to stay here for another second.
At this moment, Lin Que, holding the ancient book that Wang Teng had thrown at him, said with a hint of regret, "Valley Master Ning, it seems the other party didn't act impulsively!"
"It's really a pity."
However, Ning Zhichuan smiled upon hearing this and said, "There's nothing to regret. I had already guessed that this would happen. At least my expected goal has been achieved."
"You'll need to be careful over the next few days."
"I need him to reveal more flaws so that his excuses will be more credible."
Upon hearing this, Lin Que was speechless!
"Valley Master Ning, you're completely disregarding my safety!"
"And..." Lin Que suddenly sighed as he said this, "I suppose Valley Master Ning's words in support of me were also intended to use me to damage Wang Teng's Dao heart?"
"That's truly remarkable!"
Ning Zhichuan simply smiled and remained silent, then reached out and patted Lin Que on the shoulder.
“Besides being the Valley Master, I am also Yan Xue’s father.”
"And another thing, do you think the art of talisman inscription in my Heavenly Talisman Sect is so easy to acquire?"
"Don't worry, I've got this covered!"
Having said that, Ning Zhichuan's figure also quickly disappeared from the array platform...
