CHAPTER 870: CHAPTER 870: REWARD, LIFE HAS ONLY 1!

The people of the Northern Land clenched their fists tightly; they didn’t know why Gongyang Ying suddenly became so formidable, but it was exciting.

Next, the three great geniuses of the Northern Land truly have hope.

Moreover, it is quite evident that the final battle for the quota will probably arrive soon.

Now, Sikong Jing and Chou Zhan hold five Spirit Swords, while they still have four opponents...

Of course, the East Captain and Wang He may not be life-and-death enemies, but the main enemy is Ju Hua.

In the jungle on the other side, when Sikong Jing helped Chou Zhan return, Gongyang Ying was already holding the Green Wind Spirit Sword, standing in front of Nan Xiu. When she saw the two, she quickly went up to them.

Without saying a word, she immediately began healing Chou Zhan.

Sikong Jing then looked at Nan Xiu, who stared blankly back and then lowered his head to gaze at the fourth Sword Spirit in his hand, which was indeed the Blue Water Spirit Sword of West Land Captain Le.

What... it was really too fast, wasn’t it?

At this moment, Sikong Jing returned in front of Nan Xiu, gently untied the prohibition on him and said, "Now you can leave with the Spirit Sword, or you can choose to stay."

Upon hearing this, Nan Xiu was stunned and asked, confused, "Isn’t it just death or following you, the two choices?"

Sikong Jing shook his head and pointed to Chou Zhan.

"Your intel was accurate, so the Spirit Sword and releasing you is the reward; you indirectly saved Brother Chou’s life."

This statement left Nan Xiu completely stunned. He looked at Chou Zhan, who was being treated, and then at Sikong Jing, his heart surging with waves. Then he heavily clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to follow."

Sikong Jing couldn’t help but laugh at this, asking in slight surprise, "You don’t want to think it over?"

"Know that my enemy is Ju Hua of the West Land, and your Elder Yin probably won’t like me very much either..."

A deep expression flashed in Nan Xiu’s eyes.

Elder Yin certainly wouldn’t like him, for he had killed He Yan of the Southern Land.

However, Nan Xiu shook his head and said, "I choose to follow not only because of your strength, but also because of your trust and care for comrades."

Just because he indirectly saved Chou Zhan, he was willing to give away a Spirit Sword and even let him go.

Who could refuse such a person?

Sikong Jing quietly looked at him and nodded, saying, "Alright, then stay. But let me say this upfront, if you show the slightest fear or stab anything in the back while following me, don’t blame me for killing without hesitation."

With that, the terrifying killing intent pressed heavily on Nan Xiu, causing his whole body to tremble violently, though that was merely because Sikong Jing’s killing intent and True Qi were far too terrifying.

Nan Xiu’s eyes were extraordinarily steadfast!

Since he made his choice, he wouldn’t regret or retreat, the worst being death.

The next moment, Sikong Jing withdrew his gaze and killing intent, casually saying, "If there’s anything you don’t understand about Martial Arts, feel free to ask me directly. I might be able to provide some answers."

Having said that, Sikong Jing then approached Chou Zhan and Gongyang Ying.

In fact, he already trusted Nan Xiu; he, the Invincible God General, judged people’s character well. Someone like Nan Xiu wouldn’t easily submit to anyone, but once he did, he wouldn’t betray.

Nan Xiu watched Sikong Jing’s back, slightly pursing his lips.

He admired Sikong Jing’s character and Martial Arts.

But he wasn’t convinced by Sikong Jing’s understanding of Martial Arts, thinking... Our realms are similar; we are equally talented figures from the same land, what makes you capable of answering my Martial Arts questions?

Sikong Jing was powerful, but a bit arrogant.

Thinking this, Nan Xiu then walked towards Chou Zhan.

At this time, Sikong Jing happened to ask, "Brother Chou, can you tell me in detail what the attributes of your War Body are?"

Although he created a cultivation technique that can stimulate Chou Zhan, Sikong Jing still needed to first understand the attributes, especially since he’d only briefly investigated while detoxifying the Moon Swallowing Beast Poison from Chou Zhan.

While Chou Zhan was healing, Sikong Jing still needed to check whether there were parts to refine in the new cultivation method.

Chou Zhan, under treatment, maintained a blank expression, seemingly indifferent to the pain on his body.

Upon hearing the inquiry, he replied without hesitation, "I have the Golden Sword Battle Body. Specifically, even my master isn’t too clear because I’m an orphan; my type of Battle Body has never appeared here in the East Plain Northern Land."

"After consulting many records, my master and the elders of Beichou Sword Sect say the Golden Sword Battle Body is like this..."

Thus, Chou Zhan explained the Battle Body attributes he currently understood.

Sikong Jing nodded constantly, then after Chou Zhan finished speaking, took out the second Green Jade Tube, saying, "Based on the attributes you mentioned, this cultivation technique of mine is flawless, surely better able to stimulate your War Body attributes."

After a pause, Sikong Jing added, "You should look through the cultivation technique first, then decide whether to cultivate it."

Chou Zhan looked at the Green Jade Tube a bit unexpectedly, but then, without asking more, immediately accepted it and probed it with his consciousness.

In merely a few breaths, Chou Zhan’s entire body shook wildly, and his eyes flashed with intense brilliance.

He then closed his eyes and quickly made a decision; the surging True Qi emerged from his body, and as Sikong Jing’s new cultivation method was practiced, the Golden Sword Battle Body became increasingly stronger and fierce.

The golden sword flow streaming across his skin grew even thicker...

Bang...

In just a quarter of an hour, Chou Zhan broke through a Small Realm, completely consolidating in the Golden Body Second Realm.

Opening his eyes, Chou Zhan heavily clasped his fists towards Sikong Jing, still curtly saying, "Brother Sikong, thank you."

Previously, he had forcefully broken through to the Golden Body Second Realm to resist attacks from the West Land squad, leaving behind adverse effects.

Now, all due to the cultivation technique given by Sikong Jing, even a breakthrough occurred.

He didn’t speak eloquent words, but the word "thanks" was resounding and powerful.

Next, Chou Zhan hesitated and asked again, "But is it really okay for Brother Sikong to directly give me such a formidable cultivation technique?"

Not only did it resolve the hidden dangers left by the forced breakthrough, but it also enhanced the power of the Golden Sword Battle Body—it must be an incredibly precious existence. Chou Zhan always disliked taking advantage of others.

Benefiting means giving compensation.

Just like he directly sent the Moon Swallowing Beast when Sikong Jing detoxified him.

Such an impressive cultivation technique must have origins; he’s concerned whether it might unknowingly implicate Sikong Jing.

Chou Zhan felt he was undeserving.

In response, Sikong Jing couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Brother Chou, feel free to keep it."

Upon hearing this, Chou Zhan immediately felt reassured.

He also didn’t dawdle; since Sikong Jing said it was fine, then it was fine. As for returning the favor... there would be opportunities later.

Nothing else, but his life was a stake.

Then Chou Zhan again sensed the flow of True Qi and, furrowing his brow, asked, "If I’m not mistaken, this cultivation technique is still incomplete. It’d be better if there was a complete version... by the way, what’s the name of the cultivation technique?"

Blinking, Sikong Jing replied, "Brother Chou, you can call it whatever you like."

He hadn’t named the cultivation technique yet.

Thinking secretly, Sikong Jing responded to the first question, "Brother Chou is indeed impressive; it is indeed a temporary, imperfect work. If Brother Chou feels some parts are insufficient, we can closely discuss them."
