Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

135. Chapter 135 Sword Competition? I May Not Lose

Chapter 135: Sword Fight? I Might Not Lose

The people who arrived were Chu Ming and Xiao Yuying.

After hearing Li Haimeng call Chu Ming "husband" just now, everyone couldn't help but look at him.

They wanted to see what kind of man this enchanting sword cultivator had married.

They saw that this person was tall and strong, with a handsome face, dressed in white and elegant, and his appearance was not bad.

However, his cultivation level was average, only at the early stage of Foundation Building.

And the person behind him should be his wife, only at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Everyone secretly sighed.

Li Haimeng, such a stunning beauty, actually married such a man.

Especially since she had to share a husband with other women.

They couldn't understand why Li Haimeng, who was so proud, would marry such a man.

Yang Peng was even more puzzled. In terms of appearance, strength, and status, he far surpassed this person.

He was even waiting for Li Haimeng before they got married.

The two of them had known each other for sixteen years, and he was also deeply attracted to Li Haimeng at first sight.

On that day, he was led by his master to go out and gain experience, and he happened to encounter Li Haimeng and Elder Jinguang by the small river just now.

The two of them had a brief fight, and he was defeated by Li Haimeng with just one move.

Since then, he had been focusing on sword cultivation.

Because Li Haimeng had said that she wasn't interested in men whose sword skills were inferior to hers.

But even though he had worked so hard, Li Haimeng married someone else, which made him feel depressed for the past few months, and he would occasionally go back to the place by the river where they met.

When Li Haimeng saw the two of them coming, she felt a little worried and flew to them on a colorful gem, protecting them.

Chu Ming then said, "We saw the letter you left behind and were worried, so we came to find you."

Xiao Yuying asked worriedly, "Sister, are you okay?"

"Did you just have a tough battle?"

Li Haimeng smiled and waved her hand, "It's nothing. Although the opponent was strong, I still won and didn't get injured."

"Unfortunately... that person is not a cultivator with six spiritual roots, but only has a thunder attribute Gu worm, so he can use thunder techniques."

She took out the unfinished manual with a lonely expression.

Chu Ming took the manual with a smile and said, "Since it's a technique that my wife risked her life to snatch for me, even if I can't use it, I still want it."

"This sentiment is more important than anything else, and I will treasure this manual."

Li Haimeng smiled and grabbed Chu Ming and Xiao Yuying's hands, looking very sweet.

Chu Ming said with a smile, "If there's nothing else, let's go back first."

Li Haimeng also nodded in agreement.

However, when Yang Peng saw the sweet and happy look of the two, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

He called out to stop the three of them, "Wait, don't leave yet."

Li Haimeng frowned and looked at him, "Fellow Daoist Yang, borrowing a sword was just a last resort."

"The Law Weapon and Law Treasure of the Demonic Cultivators on the ground can also be left to you as compensation."

"In that case, how do you feel about it?"

Yang Peng said with a dark face, "Fellow Daoist Li, you once said that you were not interested in men whose sword skills were inferior to yours."

"That's why I worked hard to cultivate my sword skills, hoping to win your heart."

"I have no complaints about you getting married, and I know that I'm not worthy of you."

"But I can't help feeling dissatisfied when you choose a man who is inferior to me."

Li Haimeng said impatiently, "What kind of person I marry, do you need to interfere?"

"Moreover, I couldn't use a sword before, so naturally anyone's swordsmanship would be stronger than mine."

"I can marry anyone I want. Do you really need to meddle in my affairs?"

Yang Peng shook his head and said, "Although Fellow Daoist Li can't use a sword, his swordsmanship hasn't been lost. Naturally, he is much stronger than your husband."

"Does that mean you were lying back then?"

Li Haimeng sneered, "So what if I was lying? I just said it casually."

"My husband and I are destined to be together. Would I miss this marriage because of a casual remark I made to you?"

"What a joke!"

"What do you mean? Are you looking for trouble with us?"

"If you want to fight, I'll accompany you."

Yang Peng shook his head, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to regain some face."

"Many friends and relatives in Heavenly Origin City knew about my hard work in swordsmanship to pursue you."

"Now that you're married, others may not say anything on the surface, but they still consider me a joke behind my back."

"If they knew that you married a man with mediocre swordsmanship, all my previous efforts would be in vain, and I would be even more ashamed to face people."

"My request is simple. I just want to compare swordsmanship with your husband."

"If he can defeat me, then I will admit defeat and say no more."

A tall and thin sword cultivator nearby couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang, aren't you bullying others?"

"This fellow cultivator has just reached the Foundation Building stage, while you are at the Foundation Building Late Stage. How can he compare swordsmanship with you?"

Yang Peng calmly said, "I can take a Qi Dispersion Pill to suppress my cultivation to the same level as him."

He looked at Chu Ming and asked, "What do you say, Fellow Daoist? Are you willing to compete?"

Chu Ming waved his hand and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Yang, there's no need for that."

"My swordsmanship is mediocre, naturally I won't be your match. Let's forget about it and hurry back."

Yang Peng sneered, "If that's the case, are you afraid?"

"Fine, then admit defeat in front of all the fellow sword cultivators."

"When this matter spreads to Heavenly Origin City, I will have my face back."

"If you don't admit defeat, it's fine too. Everyone here can be witnesses."

"In the future, everyone will know that Li Haimeng married a weak and incompetent man. Since I wasn't chosen by her, it's not embarrassing at all."

"You..." Li Haimeng angrily said, "You have been practicing swordsmanship for many years. Winning against my husband, who has only practiced swordsmanship for a short time, would that give you face?"

Yang Peng said with a serious face, "I have already lost in the aspect of women. I must regain some face, right?"

Chu Ming patted Li Haimeng's shoulder and smiled, "Since Fellow Daoist Yang insists, then I agree."

"After all, he is willing to suppress his cultivation and have a fair duel with me. It's really unreasonable if I refuse."

"I have recently achieved Small Completion in my swordsmanship as well."

Li Haimeng looked hesitant. She knew that her husband's Disordered Sword Art was just a low-level sword technique.

Even if he practiced it to perfection, he still wouldn't be able to compare to Yang Peng's advanced swordsmanship.

She was about to say something, but Chu Ming waved his hand and smiled, "My wife has been guiding me in swordsmanship recently, and I have made great progress."

"It's just right to have a spar with Fellow Daoist Yang and show my improvement to my wife."

After thinking about it, since the other party was provoking like this and was willing to suppress their cultivation to compete, there was no need to refuse.

In a sword fight, he might not necessarily lose.

And his senior sister, a genius sword cultivator, had been guiding him in his swordsmanship for a long time.

Even if his swordsmanship became strong, it wouldn't be surprising. Winning would not expose his true strength, at most it would show his talent.

Since he couldn't find a suitable Foundation Building technique, his cultivation couldn't continue to improve, and others wouldn't care how good his talent was.

So he could confidently participate in the competition.
