Chapter 894: Chapter 894

Being stared at by several people , after a brief discomfort, Li Xuanfeng quickly responded.

"I will not partake in dividing the spoils of war!"

"My Supreme Sword Curse technique indeed possesses quite the power, but thinking it could kill the Chaotic Giant Snake, it seems still somewhat lacking in skill!"

"I was just wondering, why was this giant snake so vulnerable?"

"It turns out, Taoist Friend Chen, that you were attacking from inside the snake’s belly. The snake could successfully be killed; you definitely deserve the primary credit!"

Li Xuanfeng, who had always kept his head down, now lifted it up again.

While speaking, he laughed awkwardly a few times to cover up his embarrassment.

Through the crack from where Chen Hai came out, the scene inside the snake’s belly was clearly visible.

Whether it was Zi Feng or Deng Chong, both almost certainly believed that the death of the Chaotic Giant Snake was due to Chen Hai launching an attack from within, which made the snake’s insides a complete mess.

At this moment, the words of Li Xuanfeng were purely a case of a stubborn duck insisting, just trying to save some face.

However, as clear as they were about it, the few people didn’t bother to expose Li Xuanfeng’s recent lie.

After all, Li Xuanfeng was seriously injured, and he had indeed exerted considerable effort in being the main force in attacking the giant snake.

His attacks, though not causing the snake much harm, were nevertheless earnest.

The Supreme Sword Curse or whatever might have been an excuse or Li Xuanfeng’s exaggeration, but the merit of his work couldn’t be denied.

Deng Chong and Zi Feng did not hold onto the matter further, and they moved to the snake’s corpse to start harvesting the victory spoils.

With the heaviest injuries, Li Xuanfeng sat cross-legged on the ground, breathing heavily while retrieving a few healing pills and swallowing them.

"Taoist Friend Chen, I’ve known your defense was astonishingly strong since our time in the Emperor Pan Palace."

"If I’m not mistaken, the tower above your head just now must have been none other than the legendary top-grade defensive spiritual treasure, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower."

"With such a treasure for protection, no wonder you could enter and exit the snake’s belly as you wished after being swallowed whole."

"With such fortuitousness, I needn’t have worried about you at all!"

After his breathing calmed slightly, Li Xuanfeng gazed at Chen Hai, who stood not far away, with a complex expression, and sighed lightly.

Always prideful, he felt that even though he had fallen short in the matter of slaying the Chaotic Giant Snake, he did not consider Chen Hai to be stronger than himself.

After all, as a pure sword cultivator, he believed in his own eyes that the best defense should be offense.

No matter how strong the defense of the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower was, with such a treasure for protection, Chen Hai would be completely passive if facing him.

If one sword couldn’t break through the Exquisite Tower’s defense, then what about hundreds of swords? Thousands? Tens of thousands?

As long as his attack was strong enough and lasted long enough, no matter how strong the defense, it would eventually be breached.

If he had the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower for protection and was swallowed into the snake’s belly, he figured it would only take a few swords to kill the beast, unlike Chen Hai, who wasted so much time!

Comparing the two, Li Xuanfeng felt that when it came to real combat strength, Chen Hai was not just a little bit inferior.

"I’m just lucky to have a treasure for protection that barely withstood the corrosion of the stomach acid."

"If I were outside battling the beast head-on, with my strength, I probably wouldn’t even harm a single hair on it."

"You, Taoist Friend Li, are still impressive, breaking quite a few scales on the snake and striking out several wounds, which, if I’m not mistaken, must be your doing!"

"Such sharp attacks, I, Chen, am far from matching."

"Perhaps, because you were outside fighting the beast, drawing its attention and pinning most of its power, I was able to kill it so readily!"

Nodding slightly, Chen Hai smiled and responded casually.

He was a person who was naturally low-profile and not the type to seek the spotlight.

With the snake dead, and the Mirror Moon Divine Stone, a middle-grade Chaos spiritual treasure, in his possession, he had already obtained the greatest benefit.

Even if he didn’t claim any credit for killing the giant snake and gave it all to Li Xuanfeng and the others, he would not mind.

"What you say makes sense. But being lucky enough to control the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, a supreme treasure, is indeed your ability."

"How does the saying go? Lacking in strength, fortune comes to help!"

"Our War God Palace could use talents like you, blessed with great fortune."

"The last time I mentioned it, about you joining my sect, have you considered it? When will you give me a response?"

Compliments are pleasing to everyone, especially to someone like Li Xuanfeng.

Previously feeling humiliated out to the limits of Chaos, because of Chen Hai’s words, he felt comforted and started smiling again.

Taking the opportunity of a few words of idle chat with Chen Hai, he once more brought up the topic of wanting Chen Hai to join the War God Palace.

"Taoist Friend Li, how do you think the War God Palace compares to the Emperor Pan Palace? And how does your power compare to that of the Emperor Pan Ancestor?" Chen Hai smirked and rolled his eyes, casually responding.

Li Xuanfeng could easily grasp the intention behind these words.

He grinned and said, "Emperor Pan Palace has the Primordial Chaos Great Power of Emperor Pan Ancestor, our War God Palace falls far short."

"But our War God Palace does not lack foundation; it has existed in the Northern Continent for tens of thousands of years."

"The Emperor Pan Ancestor preaches and takes disciples lavishly; he clearly has another agenda. Your refusal to join his sect is understandable."

"But I am not like him. If you become my disciple, you would be my only one, inheriting my legacy, and I will impart the Supreme Sword Path to you!"

With a slight chuckle, Li Xuanfeng slowly spoke. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel※fire.net

He could talk endlessly about the myriad benefits one could gain as his disciple.

This kind of remarkably proud person didn’t even look down at the sky in his usual demeanor.

Having Chen Hai join his sect was genuinely because he valued Chen Hai, with no ulterior motives.

"Taoist Friend Li, as for your Supreme Sword Path, I am truly not very interested."

"Right now, I’m calling you a friend; we’re interacting as equals."

"I regard you as a friend, yet you want me to call you master? You might not find it awkward, but I feel uncomfortable!"

"Let’s not bring this up again, or beware, I might fall out with you!"

Giving Li Xuanfeng another roll of the eyes, Chen Hai, with a displeased face, snorted softly.
