What have I done?
Qin Chen rubbed his nose. The other party clearly blamed the disappearance of the sword techniques on the Sword Path Stone Tablet on him. Although this was indeed the case, it was also the consideration of the Sword Path Stone Tablet itself. As long as someone learned the sword techniques, they would disappear autonomously.
Otherwise, if the sword techniques remained on it, anyone could learn them. What would be the point of carrying out so-called assessments?
What does that have to do with him?
Even if he didn’t know, even if he did, he wouldn’t stop to let those people learn the extreme sword killing techniques before taking the final step. If others could never learn it, would he have to stay forever?
That would be a joke.
"I'm not looking down on you; you garbage simply can't learn this sword technique. Learning it is just a waste of time," Qin Chen said seriously.
This was not Qin Chen discriminating against them. It was the fact that these people had not even managed to grasp the killing sword intent up to this point. Even if they were given another ten days to half a month, they probably wouldn’t be able to learn the first layer. It would just be a waste of time.
"You..."
The martial artist was furious. This kid not only extinguished the Sword Path Stone Tablet, preventing them from practicing the supreme sword technique but also insulted them as garbage!
He immediately clasped his hands toward Shui Leqing and the others, saying, "Esteemed ones, this brat is too arrogant. This is the Demon Sword Sect's demonic sword inheritance, yet he took the liberty to extinguish the sword techniques on the Sword Path Stone Tablet at a time when everyone is furious. In doing so, wouldn't that mean even you esteemed ones could not learn that sword technique? This is intolerable; I implore you esteemed ones to seek justice for us."
"Yes, seek justice."
"This kid came early; perhaps he obtained a complete sword technique. Why not capture him and make him hand over the sword technique?"
"Yes, capture him and make him hand over the sword technique."
Everyone roared in anger.
What a joke! They hadn’t been practicing for long, and this kid actually extinguished the sword techniques on the Sword Path Stone Tablet. If they didn’t capture Qin Chen and ask for the content of the sword techniques, how could they be satisfied?
Shui Leqing and the others had faces as pale as paper, their eyes coldly staring at Qin Chen.
They had only entered the second layer and hadn’t even fully mastered it yet. The sword techniques disappeared just like that. If they said they weren’t angry, that was simply impossible.
However, if they were to deal with Qin Chen now, it was also impossible.
They knew how terrifying Ji Ruoyue was. If they clashed again, not only would they not be able to capture Qin Chen, but they might even get injured by him.
Earlier, they had only fought in front of a small group of people. Even if they hadn’t managed to capture him, it wasn’t a big deal.
But now, thousands of geniuses from the Northern Heaven Domain were in the square. If their large seed disciples failed to capture Qin Chen together, returning empty-handed would likely ruin their reputations completely.
What frustrated Shui Leqing and the others even more was that they initially thought that Leng Xingfeng would conflict with Qin Chen, but upon arrival, they found that the two sides not only hadn’t clashed but seemed even rather harmonious.
Thus, if they lost, and Leng Xingfeng didn’t take action, when this reached their sect, it would probably leave a bad impression.
So, their faces were pale, but no one spoke.
That martial artist thought Shui Leqing and the others were being condescending, not wanting to bully others and leave a bad reputation. So, he took a step forward and arrogantly said, "Kid, do you see? Even the esteemed ones are very dissatisfied with you. However, the esteemed ones are not the kind to bully the weak; you should kneel and hand over the sword techniques you obtained. Perhaps the esteemed ones will show mercy and spare your life."
