To be honest, the swordsman himself found Qin Ziling's suggestion very strange. Was there something wrong with this man from the Dragon Kingdom? Why would he want to make him his subordinate?

Does the other party believe that he is stronger than himself?

"Further words are unnecessary. I've come here today for only one purpose," the swordsman said slowly.

"The Philosopher's Stone?" Qin Ziling raised an eyebrow.

The swordsman shook his head: "No, I've come here seeking defeat!"

Seeking defeat!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned rather strange.

How much confidence does one need to say something so pretentious?

"Seeking defeat? You mean you've never been defeated?" Qin Ziling smiled faintly.

"Currently, there aren't any. There are very few people who can even make me draw my sword! I've heard that someone in the Dragon Kingdom is provoking the underworld. I'm very interested in you and would like to come and see for myself." The swordsman shook his head.

Qin Ziling found it somewhat amusing. This was the first time he had ever seen someone so arrogant. He had a high level of prestige, but, to be frank, the swordsman's strength might be decent, but to say he was invincible was an exaggeration. Not to mention him, among the hidden masters present, there were also masters that the swordsman could not defeat!

But as amusing as it was, he had an idea and said, "So you want to spar with me?"

The swordsman nodded: "Yes."

“Sure, but how about we take a gamble?” Qin Ziling said with a smile.

The swordsman asked in confusion, "What are we betting on?"

"If I beat you, you'll be my subordinate; if I lose, the Philosopher's Stone is yours. How about that?" Qin Ziling said leisurely.

Upon hearing this, the swordsman frowned and stared at him strangely for a while.

"Really? The Philosopher's Stone, that's a divine artifact that everyone in the dark world wants to obtain!"

Qin Ziling said indifferently, "To me, it's just an ordinary stone, completely useless!"

If the entity inside Chu Xinyue heard him say that, it would probably jump out and fight him to the death!

“It’s good to be confident, but I think your bet is a bit unfair. Forget about beating me, just let me draw my sword!” The swordsman nodded and said.

"That wouldn't be interesting," Qin Ziling said with a smile.

The swordsman looked at him and then nodded: "Alright, then be careful!"

After saying that, he pointed at Qin Ziling in a virtual direction!

Buzz!

A buzzing sound rang out, and the next second, a beam of light gathered at the swordsman's finger, which then transformed into a lightsaber that shot towards Qin Ziling!

That's pretty good!

Qin Ziling smiled, then took a step forward and suddenly punched the sword light!

boom!

The moment the fist touched the sword light, the latter shattered instantly, turning into specks of light!

"Hmm?" The swordsman was somewhat surprised, then a glint appeared in his eyes, and his figure vanished instantly!

Qin Ziling narrowed his eyes slightly and then disappeared!

The only sound in the arena was the howling wind, and the two fighters' exchange was dazzling!

The swordsman was indeed a master, far surpassing the black bear in strength. The aura emanating from him alone was enough to overwhelm his opponent!

The fact that a swordsman who doesn't use a sword can be so powerful is a pleasant surprise to Qin Ziling.

Judging from his strength, if he were to use a sword, even the top three assassins on the assassin list would likely not fare well against him!

Whoosh!

The swordsman moved like the wind, incredibly fast. He used the energy within his body to form sword energy, unleashing countless killing moves around Qin Ziling, creating a strangling effect! At the same time, he himself was the greatest weapon, closely following Qin Ziling's movements.

However, to the swordsman's surprise, no matter how he attacked, his opponent seemed to anticipate his attacks and was always able to dodge in time!

This is a master!

The swordsman's eyes gleamed brighter and brighter. He realized that even the fourth-ranked assassin he had killed before was no match for Qin Ziling!

This made him take it a little more seriously!

Qin Ziling was testing the swordsman's strength, so during the fight, he did not take the initiative to attack, but simply dodged the opponent's attacks while exposing his weaknesses!

Suddenly, an opportunity arose, and Qin Ziling swiftly reached out and grabbed the swordsman's face.

The latter's expression changed, and he quickly stomped his foot, sliding back slightly, while pointing his finger at Qin Ziling!

Qin Ziling didn't change his move after his first attack failed; instead, he followed closely, grabbing the swordsman's hand directly!

bump!

Qin Ziling grasped the swordsman's fingertips, and in an instant, a terrifying sword intent enveloped Qin Ziling. The powerful sword intent burst forth from his fingertips and spread along Qin Ziling's arm!

Qin Ziling narrowed his eyes slightly, then a golden light flashed in his eyes, and instantly, a terrifying power dispelled the swordsman's sword intent!

"you…"

Before the swordsman could speak, Qin Ziling suddenly swept over with a whip kick!

The swordsman had no choice but to raise his arm to block, and with a muffled thud, he staggered backward!

"You've done quite well to achieve this level; it's quite impressive!" Qin Ziling commented.

The two exchanged blows for less than two seconds, so ordinary people had no idea what was going on; they could only see the swordsman take a few steps back.

This speaks volumes!

Qin Ziling is extremely powerful!

"Who exactly is the master?" Shadow Spider looked at Blood Spider curiously, hoping she could answer his question.

Blood Spider said calmly, "If you want to know, go ask him yourself. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it if I tell you."

Upon hearing this, Shadow Spider became even more puzzled.

"He is indeed very strong!" Purple Spider's eyes lit up as she stared excitedly at the arena.

She hadn't made the wrong choice after all; Qin Ziling's strength far surpassed hers! When Shadow Spider sparred with him, he probably didn't even unleash half of his full power!

No wonder the Blood Spider submitted so readily!

However, the stronger Qin Ziling became, the more excited Zi Zhu became, which meant that she could also become stronger in the future!

"Interesting. I can't see that person's face, but his strength is extraordinary, much stronger than those people from the Dragon Palace! His identity must also be extraordinary!" In the shadows, Jue watched this scene, a rare hint of curiosity on his face.

Bereel was also watching the battle intently. The swordsman was very strong. Even as a knight, he couldn't say he could beat the swordsman easily. Moreover, the swordsman still had some trump cards he hadn't used yet!

Secretly, many people watched this scene, their thoughts racing.

"You are indeed very powerful!" The swordsman looked at Qin Ziling with a little excitement.

Qin Ziling laughed and said, "It's not too late to admit defeat now, otherwise it won't be good if it hurts you later."

Upon hearing this, the swordsman smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've felt this way about meeting a worthy opponent. You're much more interesting than that fourth-ranked assassin from before!"

"So what? Still want to fight?" Qin Ziling raised an eyebrow.

"Of course!" The swordsman nodded seriously, and then slowly took the sword wrapped in black cloth from behind his back.

"I believe you are worthy of me wielding this sword! Out of respect for you, let's settle this with a single blow!"
