Chapter 703: Seven Kills VS Dragon Slayer_1
He Lian Xuan personally intervened by asking Su Chengyu to forfeit, but people didn’t feel that he was favoring Lee Longqing. Instead, they saw it as a way to save face for Su Chengyu and protect him. After all, the Seven Kills Sword Technique was renowned, with nine chances of death and one of survival under this sword technique.
At He Lian Xuan’s words, Su Chengyu remained indifferent. He didn’t care who became the champion, but the South Sea Mermaid Pearl was important to him. His determination to get it was unwavering and he couldn’t back down now.
"Since everyone speaks so highly of the Seven Kills Sword Technique, I’m indeed quite eager to experience it for myself. As a cultivator, why should I fear battling it out? If I admit defeat without a fight, I will lose my Dao Heart, which will not be beneficial to my future cultivation. I will not back down. If I am to die today under the Seven Kills Sword Technique, it will be my fate and will have nothing to do with others. Furthermore, I will not hold Lee Longqing accountable."
Su Chengyu took a step forward and declared emphatically and forcefully.
His voice echoed throughout the Martial Arts Field and everyone heard it loud and clear.
He Lian Xuan’s expression darkened and he felt far from pleased. If Su Chengyu admitted defeat and Lee Longqing was crowned the champion, it would be the ideal outcome, with the South Sea Mermaid Pearl falling into Lee Longqing’s hands smoothly.
However, Su Chengyu was stubborn and refused to back down. Now, there were only two possible outcomes. If Su Chengyu died in battle, it would also be a loss to the Eastern Dragon Soul Division.
He Lian Xuan placed great expectations on Su Chengyu and had plans to nurture and promote him. Su Chengyu’s development would be beneficial to him as well.
The second outcome would be Su Chengyu winning and Lee Longqing losing, which would result in the South Sea Mermaid Pearl falling into Su Chengyu’s hands. If this were to happen, He Lian Xuan would have a tough time explaining to the Lee family, as this was a deal that had been negotiated with the family long ago.
