"Do you submit?"

Chen Xiao asked calmly after Hu Liefu's head grew back.

Just like Hu Liefu had asked Duan Shikuo before.

Hu Liefu clenched his back molars. It was no use surrendering now, because as soon as he said the word "submit," the other's sword would come over and cut off his head.

And the referee, because of his strangulation of Duan Shikuo in the previous match, obviously didn't want to interfere.

Everyone watched him with excitement, obviously looking forward to what would happen next.

"I submit to your mom..."

Hu Liefu gritted his teeth, word by word.

And he naturally had no chance to say the words after that.

Glug glug...

His head grew back again, and Hu Liefu had only two lives left.

At this moment, the whole place was shocked!

Because even the dumbest person understood.

That was that Hu Liefu, who possessed five dharma forms, had no power to fight back when facing the Holy Son of the Earth Sect.

They couldn't figure out why the Holy Son of the Earth Sect was so strong, but they had to accept this reality.

And, they accepted it happily!

After all, it was a very satisfying thing to watch a master from a non-own faction suffer.

"You have two more chances. I ask you, do you submit?"

Chen Xiao asked with a playful look.

"What if I submit, and what if I don't... you're still going to kill me!"

Hu Liefu was extremely angry, but also helpless and powerless.

"If you don't submit, I will kill you. If you submit, I want you to do something for me."

Chen Xiao said calmly.

"What? You want me to do something for you? What is it?"

Hu Liefu immediately widened his eyes and asked.

Whoosh—

What greeted him was a sword light that was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

Hu Liefu's head rolled to the ground with a thud.

Seven of them, lined up in a row, like a string of candied haws.

Glug glug... Hu Liefu stretched out his head and asked angrily, "I just asked you what you wanted me to do. Are you going to kill me for this too?"

Chen Xiao shrugged and apologized, "Sorry, I'm used to killing."

"..."

Hu Liefu was speechless for a while, his teeth itching with anger, but in the end, he still asked, "What exactly do you want me to do?"

"So you mean, you submit?"

Chen Xiao asked.

"I submit!"

Hu Liefu rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Very good, you can surrender. As for what I want you to do, I'll tell you later. If you don't do it, it won't be too late for me to kill you then."

Chen Xiao said casually, as if killing a person or two was as simple as eating and drinking for him.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

"I surrender!"

Hu Liefu raised his hand to surrender, finally leaving the arena with his last life.

On the high platform, Duan Yanzhuo stroked his bald head and muttered, "Junior Sister Ziwei, your disciple is indeed powerful, but he's still too kind. In this situation, with the atmosphere built up like this, how can you let that kid leave!"

Watching Hu Liefu walk further and further away, Duan Yanzhuo was very unhappy.

He was still brooding over his disciple's death.

The Ziwei Dao Lord simply ignored him, while below the high platform, the crowd had already begun to cheer.

Because the final champion of the Genius Battle, which occurred once every fifty years, had been decided!

That was the Holy Son of the Earth Sect, Li Shouzhen!

The award ceremony would be held in half an hour. Amidst the enthusiastic cheers, Chen Xiao had quietly slipped away. He was going to find Hu Liefu.

...

The award ceremony was just a formality. The top thirty-two all had rewards to take.

Chen Xiao didn't care about these rewards. His only goal was to open the Holy Treasure Platform and get the special reward!

And that special reward was likely to be the God-Slaying Sword!

After the rewards for the top thirty-two contestants were distributed, Chen Xiao, as the champion of the Genius Battle, had the opportunity to enter the Immortal Sect's Treasure Pavilion and choose any treasure.

The Immortal Sect's Treasure Pavilion stood behind the Immortal Sect's main hall, nine stories high, and was the tallest building in the Immortal Sect City.

The gate of the Treasure Pavilion was usually closed, and it had to be opened by the joint spellcasting of the three Sect Dao Lords. Moreover, only one person could enter alone after it was opened, and that was the champion of the Genius Battle.

After Yun Lan, Duan Yanzhuo, and Ziwei, the three Dao Lords, jointly cast their spells, the gate of the Treasure Pavilion slowly opened.

Chen Xiao stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, and then he heard a creaking sound as the gate slowly closed behind him.

According to Ziwei, the Holy Treasure Platform was on the ninth floor of the Treasure Pavilion, so Chen Xiao directly stepped onto the stairs.

Any one of the treasures in this Treasure Pavilion could cause people to fight to the death to obtain it.

It was said that these were all treasures collected from beyond the heavens by the Eternal Great Emperor.

However, Chen Xiao didn't even glance at these dazzling treasures. He glared and went straight to the ninth floor.

On the ninth floor of the Treasure Pavilion, there was only a square stone platform in the very center, which must be the legendary Holy Treasure Platform.

Apart from that, there were no other items in the entire space.

When he suddenly walked up, Chen Xiao felt it was a bit empty.

Chen Xiao came to the stone platform. On the platform were three books, with the words "Book of Heaven," "Book of Earth," and "Book of Man" written on the covers, respectively.

Chen Xiao scratched his head. So these three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man were really three books!

He directly reached out to take the Book of Man in the middle, but his fingertip passed directly through the book and touched the stone platform.

This book simply couldn't be picked up.

It was like a projection, but no matter which angle you looked at it from, it was clearly real!

The key was to gain the recognition of the three books in order to open the Holy Treasure Platform.

Chen Xiao thought for a while, bit his fingertip, and dripped three drops of blood onto the three books.

The three books didn't react at all, and the blood dripped directly onto the stone platform.

Chen Xiao also used several other methods, but without exception, they all ended in failure.

Until the end, when Chen Xiao had no other choice, he took out the Chaotic Sky Bracelet and put it on his hand.

Then, he lowered his head and only felt a darkness in front of him before losing consciousness.

When he raised his head again, his pupils had turned white, and he laughed sinisterly, "Heh heh heh, my foolish son, in the end, you still have to rely on your old man, don't you?"

In the end, Chen Xiao chose to let his cheap old man, Chen Sihai, possess him!

And Chen Sihai did not disappoint. He held his hands above the three books, forming a seal as if lotus flowers were blooming.

A holy halo flowed from his fingertips and dripped onto the three books.

Then, the three books began to become solid, and the pages fluttered as if they were being blown by the wind.

The three books simultaneously flipped from the first page to the last page and closed at the same time. The whole process lasted only about half a minute.

After that, the three books suddenly flew up from the Holy Treasure Platform.

A golden light burst out from the very center of the Holy Treasure Platform!

Then, the golden light became more and more intense, and the crack in the middle of the Holy Treasure Platform slowly opened... a section of a golden sword hilt appeared in the crack.

Chen Sihai's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his eyes became more and more greedy.

Half of the sword blade was revealed, flashing with a cold light.

That cold light seemed to be able to cut open the heavens and the earth. At first glance, it was a peerless treasure sword!

"God-Slaying Sword, God-Slaying Sword, great, I finally see you!"

Chen Sihai's eyes were burning, and he seemed to be drooling with anticipation.

After the sword blade was fully exposed to the air, he couldn't bear it any longer and directly grabbed the God-Slaying Sword in his hand.

Without taking the time to admire it, he wanted to put away the God-Slaying Sword first and leave this place immediately.

However, after searching all over his body, he couldn't find any spatial magic treasures, and the Yin-Yang Jade was naturally not on him.

"This kid is quite vigilant, but what use is that? Your body is mine now, and I'm afraid I can't find the Yin-Yang Jade!"

Chen Sihai smiled disdainfully. He not only wanted to find the Yin-Yang Jade, but also the other three Holy Relics. That way, all five Holy Relics would be in his hands!

"I've been planning for so many years, and I'm finally about to succeed!"

Chen Sihai sighed for a long time, his tone full of anticipation of good things to come. He casually stuck the God-Slaying Sword in his waistband and was about to go downstairs.

However, in that inadvertent moment, the God-Slaying Sword suddenly flew out from his waistband... as if it had been pulled out by someone.

"Hmm?"

Chen Sihai frowned suddenly, realizing that something was wrong.

The God-Slaying Sword floated in mid-air, the posture as if someone was holding it.

Immediately afterward, in the next moment, Chen Xiao's figure slowly appeared in the air.

"You, how are you here?"

Chen Sihai's eyes widened suddenly, his white pupils filled with disbelief.

"Of course, I have to be here, otherwise, wouldn't you have taken the God-Slaying Sword?"

Chen Xiao held the God-Slaying Sword and made a sword flower in the air, then put it away in the Yin-Yang Jade.

There was no rush now, he would carefully examine it later.

"Thunderous God Crown!"

Chen Sihai said through gritted teeth, "You used the Thunderous God Crown to hide your aura, but what about this body?"

Chen Sihai felt that he was clearly occupying Chen Xiao's body now.

With his many years of experience possessing bodies, he could immediately tell whether it was a real body or not.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "The kid from the Five Gods Sect is really a bit capable. I just wanted to try whether I could deceive you, but I didn't expect it to actually work!"

"Five Gods Sect? So that's how it is... You wanted that kid to do something for you, which was to use his weasel avatar ability!"

Chen Sihai suddenly understood, but it seemed a little late to know.

Chen Xiao smiled coldly, "You know so clearly, it seems I wasn't wrong. You weren't anywhere ten thousand miles away at all. You were at the scene of the Genius Battle!"

Chen Sihai's eyelids twitched, then he gritted his teeth and said in a gloomy tone, "You kid is quite clever, but unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, your little tricks are useless!"

"Absolute strength?"

Chen Xiao laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Lin Batian of the Tyrant Heaven Sect, right?"

"Hehe, congratulations, you guessed right again!"

Chen Sihai's smile was sinister and smug, "So now you'd better hand over the Holy Relic to me, otherwise, as soon as you step out of the Treasure Pavilion, I will let you die without a burial place!"
