Chapter 465 Competition!

Lin Pingzhi laughed and said, "Just do it. Even if I die, I won't let a shameless person like you get away with it."

Jiang Shiying's face darkened, and he looked at Lin Pingzhi uncertainly, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter whether I can get the Exorcism Sword Technique or not. You are going to lose your life. Is this Exorcism Sword Technique more important than your life?

Moreover, you just hand over the Sword of Exorcism. You still know how to use it, and there is no way I can pass it on, so you don't lose anything at all.

If you don't hand over the Sword of Exorcism and get killed, will the Sword of Exorcism still be useful to you? Everything is empty when a person dies. If you want to pay with your life for a sword manual, aren't you the stupidest person in the world?"

Lin Pingzhi sneered: "I can give it to others if they want it, but not to you, Jiang Shiying."

Jiang Shiying was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "I remember that I don't seem to have any grudge against you, why do you hate me so much?"

Lin Pingzhi laughed and said, "I hate despicable and shameless people the most in my life, and you are one of them. Even if I, Lin Pingzhi, die, even if I give the Sword Manual of Exorcism to a dog on the side of the road, I will never let a shameless person like you get away with it!"

Jiang Shiying's face turned purple, his whole body was shaking with anger, his lips trembled, and he pointed at Lin Pingzhi, unable to speak.

Xin Zhen looked up at the powerful people searching in the sky, fearing that Jiang Shiying would risk his life and start a fight, thus attracting the rest of the people. He quickly asked, "Can you two listen to me?"

Lin Pingzhi and Jiang Shiying were originally staring at each other, but when they heard this, they looked towards Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen and the two nodded and said, "Senior Lin is in imminent danger. If he is discovered by others, he will surely die without a burial place. Senior Lin may not be afraid of death, but he must die with value. Senior Lin, don't you think so?"

Lin Pingzhi laughed and said, "In the current situation, there is no chance for me to survive. If I hand over the Sword of Exorcism, Jiang Shiying will definitely kill me. A dead person will not reveal the secret.

If I don't hand it over, he will be afraid to use it. If he alerts the others, he may not be able to use the Sword of Exorcism. This is my only way to survive."

Xin Zhen nodded and looked at Jiang Shiying, saying, "Senior Jiang, I believe you understand Senior Lin's concerns. What do you think?"

Jiang Shiying smiled and said, "That's easy, as long as Lin Pingzhi and I each swear a solemn oath, we can solve it.

I can swear that after getting the sword manual, I will not kill Lin Pingzhi, nor will I tell anyone else to kill Lin Pingzhi through someone else. If I break my oath, I will bear the consequences of my own death and the extinction of my clan.

But Lin Pingzhi also had to swear not to spread the news that I had obtained the Sword Manual of Exorcism, even if it meant death. If he broke his oath, he would surely fall into the Avici Hell and never be reborn.

This way, she saved her life, I got the sword manual I wanted, and there was no risk of it being leaked, so it was the best of both worlds."

Xin Zhen looked at Lin Pingzhi, but Lin Pingzhi sneered and said, "Why would I give you the Sword Manual of Exorcism like this? I don't accept it!"

Jiang Shiying was surprised and said, "What's there to accept or not accept? You saved your life, and that's the most important thing."

Lin Pingzhi sneered, "A real man should die if he wants to. I have a bad temper. If I am not convinced, I will feel uncomfortable if I am asked to live. It is better not to live."

Jiang Shiying gnashed his teeth and said angrily, "Just tell me, what do you want in exchange for handing over the Sword Manual of Exorcism?"

Lin Pingzhi laughed and said, "You have to convince me. I heard that your nickname is Jiangdong's No. 1 Punch. I don't accept this nickname. If you can prove it, I will give you the Sword Manual of Exorcism."

Jiang Shiying heard this and laughed, "You want to fight me? With your current body, if you don't fight me, I think it's possible that you will die in the next moment."

Lin Pingzhi's complexion was indeed extremely bad. Although Xin Zhen had cured him of the Jinhua Yinqi poison, he still had at least thirty-seven kinds of poisons in his body. He had not yet started healing, and his complexion was not much different from that of a dead person. He was indeed dying.

Lin Pingzhi pointed at Xin Zhen and said, "This little brother is competing with you. If you defeat him, you can take the Sword Manual of Exorcism. You and I swear a solemn oath to each other. Anyone who dares to break it will be condemned by gods and ghosts!"

"Ah? Me?" Xin Zhen felt speechless.

Jiang Shiying glanced at Xin Zhen and immediately agreed, "It's a deal, no objection!"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "I have an opinion."

Lin Pingzhi and Jiang Shiying looked at Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen looked at Lin Pingzhi and said, "I saved you out of kindness, just to make a good relationship, but you want to use me as a tool. I am not someone who can tolerate such an insult. Senior Lin, goodbye."

As he said this, Xin Zhen was about to turn into a rainbow and leave. He did want to recruit Lin Pingzhi, but he did not want Lin Pingzhi to be so selfish.

The Exorcist Sword Technique might be very powerful, but compared with one's life, no matter how powerful the sword technique is, it only matters if one gives it to him.

The oaths in this world are real and effective. As long as the content of the oath is clearly defined, no matter how despicable and shameless Jiang Shiying is, he will not dare to violate the oath. In this way, although he has to hand over the sword manual, he has saved his life, which is worth it.

It is said that if you keep the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost, while if you keep the people but lose the land, both the people and the land will be kept. Xin Zhen understood this principle very well.

And Lin Pingzhi didn't look like she was reluctant to give up the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism. She was just impulsive and wanted to fight Jiang Shiying to the death. Who did she think she was?

Xin Zhen is not a fool and would not be fooled by Lin Pingzhi's beauty. Lin Pingzhi is overthinking if he wants to take advantage of him.

Just when Xin Zhen was about to turn into a rainbow and leave, Lin Pingzhi and Jiang Shiying both said, "Wait a minute."

Xin Zhen looked at the two of them and knew that they both had concerns and were afraid that once he left, they would lose the room for easing the situation.

Lin Pingzhi said, "If you defeat Jiang Shiying, I will give you the Sword Manual of Exorcism. Jiang Shiying, you want my Sword Manual of Exorcism, you can't be unwilling to give anything, right?"

Jiang Shiying immediately became alert and said, "What can I have? You should know that the bet between you and me is your life and your Sword Manual of Exorcism."

Lin Pingzhi laughed and said, "My life and sword manual are both mine, but you didn't contribute anything. This is not fair.

Besides, we asked young people for help, but there was no chance of success. Do you think they are stupid?"

Jiang Shiying gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if I lose, I will give this little brother the Broken Silver Fist that made me the best punch in Jiangdong. What do you think?" Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi said contemptuously, "Others flatter you and you think you are the best punch in Jiangdong. You are too shameless. If this little brother wants to get your Broken Silver Fist, he must defeat you first. Since he can break your Broken Silver Fist, why would he care about your broken fist manual?"

Jiang Shiying's face darkened when he heard this. Lin Pingzhi's logic was indeed correct.

Jiang Shiying said, "I don't have anything good either. I only have this boxing technique. If I lose, not only will I not get the Sword Manual of Exorcism, but I will also lose my boxing technique. Isn't that enough? This little brother didn't get nothing. At least he got the Sword Manual of Exorcism."

Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "Who said you don't have good things? Isn't your red lotus dress pretty good?"

Jiang Shiying's expression changed and he said, "No, this won't do. This is the treasure my master gave me to protect myself. How can I give it to outsiders?"

Lin Pingzhi said, "Oh," and said to Xin Zhen, "Since we can't come to an agreement, you can leave now."

Jiang Shiying said loudly: "Okay, let's do this, I will swear first, God is above, all the gods and Buddhas are above, I, Jiang Shiying, swear here that if I fail in the competition, I will give up the Red Lotus Robe.

If I win the competition and obtain Lin Pingzhi's Sword Manual of Exorcism, I will never harm Lin Pingzhi again, whether by killing her directly or indirectly. If I violate this oath, I will be condemned by both humans and gods!"

As soon as this oath was made, Xin Zhen felt as if there was a majestic gaze from the sky looking down upon him. Then the heaven and earth tightened. Jiang Shiying said, "You all felt it, right? The Heaven has accepted this oath."

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "I, Lin Pingzhi, swear here that if I lose the competition, I will give the Sword Manual of Exorcism to Jiang Shiying and will not reveal this secret. If I break this oath, I will be abandoned by both gods and humans!"

The three of them felt the majesty again.

Jiang Shiying looked at Xin Zhen and said, "Ms. Lin will not reveal the secret, but I don't trust you."

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "I have no interest in the Sword Manual of Exorcism or the Red Lotus Robe. You guys can have fun by yourselves. Bye!"

"and many more!"

Jiang Shiying stopped Xin Zhen and said, "Do you think you can still run away? If you don't agree to this, then I will have no choice but to kill you."

Xin Zhen sneered and said, "Just you? If I wasn't afraid of other people coming down, you wouldn't be my opponent."

Jiang Shiying laughed and said, "Young man, you are quite arrogant, but you don't know that the Sword Manual of Exorcism is the sword technique left by the former Heavenly Venerable Exorcist, and it is the best sword technique in the world.

As for the Red Lotus Robe, it was made from the body of a thousand-year-old red lotus monster that our Qingyun Sect ancestor killed in the past. The Red Lotus Robe can conceal one's shape, aura, cultivation, and can even block the secrets of heaven. It is an extremely powerful protective treasure.

These two things are extremely rare treasures in the world, are you sure you don't want them?"

When Xin Zhen listened to Jiang Shiying talking about the Sword Manual of Exorcism, he was still calm, but when he heard about the magical features of the Red Lotus Robe, he was somewhat tempted. After all, it could conceal one's figure, aura, cultivation, and even block the secrets of heaven. It was a treasure that was extremely suitable for playing the pig and eating the tiger. If he could get it, it would indeed be of great use.

Xin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Make another oath. If you lose, you are not allowed to reveal any information about me, including the fact that you have obtained the Red Lotus Robe of the Sword Manual of Exorcism."

Jiang Shiying smiled and said, "Your oath does not stipulate whether I can kill you or not. Are you so confident?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "If you have the ability, just kill me."

Jiang Shiying suddenly became serious, then nodded and swore an oath as requested by Xin Zhen. Xin Zhen also followed suit and swore an oath.

At this point, the three of them reached a trust.

The three entered the ruined temple.

Lin Pingzhi said, "There are people everywhere searching for me. If I use my true qi, I will definitely attract them. Then I will die, and your plan, Jiang Shiying, will fail. Let's make a deal to only compete in moves, not true qi. No one can use true qi. Whoever uses true qi will lose the competition. Do you think this is okay?"

Xin Zhen and Jiang Shiying both nodded. Jiang Shiying looked at Xin Zhen and said, "Boy, if you deliberately leak your true energy to attract others, I will not hold back and will kill you immediately. Remember this!"

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "Remember this, if you leak your true energy, you will lose. I will take the Red Lotus Robe away immediately. Even if someone comes, they can't stop me. Your plan to get the Sword Manual of Exorcism will fail. Remember this."

Jiang Shiying smiled when he heard this, but he didn't believe that Xin Zhen could defeat him.

"Come on, let me see the strength of today's young people."

Jiang Shiying said loudly.

Xin Zhen slowly stepped forward on tiptoe, stretched out a hand, then jumped in front of Jiang Shiying and punched Jiang Shiying. Although he could not use his true energy, his punch made a sound of wind.

Jiang Shiying chuckled and also threw a punch. This punch was fast and heavy, and it reached Xin Zhen with a whoosh. He wanted to kill Xin Zhen with one punch.

This move is the relentless pursuit and attack from the Broken Silver Fist. Jiang Shiying has been immersed in the Broken Silver Fist for decades and has already mastered it to perfection. This move seems to be straightforward, but its speed and strength are both terrifying. Although it does not contain true energy, if it hits a large rock, the rock will shatter into small stones. It is much more powerful than the many boxing techniques in the martial arts world that Xin Zhen has experienced.

But this kind of ferocity is only fierce in terms of strength, what about its exquisiteness?
Xin Zhen chuckled and immediately changed his move, using a Tai Chi move of "sealing and closing" to meet the Broken Silver Fist. There was a sticky "puffing" sound, and it was like a big tree stump falling from the sky, and it was inserted into the mud with a "puffing" sound, but it only went in a little bit before being wrapped up by the sticky mud.

Jiang Shiying felt waves of force constantly draining his strength, and it really was like he was stuck in a quagmire. Jiang Shiying was shocked. If this continued, not only would this move completely lose its effectiveness, but he would also fall into Xin Zhen's rhythm.

Jiang Shiying snorted and shook his whole body to shake off the sticky force that seemed to be sealing him. Then he hammered down at Xin Zhen with both fists like a torrential rain. This was the Chaos Cloak Hammer among the Broken Silver Fists.

All of a sudden, fists rained down on Xin Zhen.

Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but nod slightly upon seeing this. Jiang Shiying was known as the best boxer in Jiangdong, and it was not an easy compliment. He did have some accomplishments in boxing.

Now he has such momentum without using his true energy. If he uses his true energy, wouldn't everything in the sky be like meteors falling and attacking Xin Zhen?
Xin Zhen felt like he was in a storm, with Jiang Shiying's fists everywhere. However, Xin Zhen was not in a hurry. When it came to boxing and palm techniques, he was not afraid of anyone!
