"Excellent, excellent, very exciting, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it." Jiang Chen smiled slightly, quite satisfied, clapping his hands in delight as he praised the performance.

"Boss, we have done as you instructed. May we leave now?" one of the chubby men in black asked very respectfully.

“You can’t leave yet. You did what I said, but you only did half of it. You two still have to have a competition. If you win, I will let you go.” Jiang Chen said with a faint smile, very seriously.

"Boss, please stop torturing us like this! We really can't take this kind of test anymore. Please, have mercy on us! We haven't done anything wrong, have we?" another fat man pleaded helplessly.

"Whether you did it or not is unimportant, but you had such thoughts. You didn't do it because you didn't have the strength. If you had the strength, I believe you would have already made your move. Blame it on your own for having thoughts you shouldn't have had, trying to steal my things. Now this is your retribution. Who told you not to do good deeds, only thinking about getting something for nothing? Besides, before robbing someone, you should have checked who it was and whether they had the strength. Aren't you just asking for trouble and walking into a trap? You can't blame me for this. Who told you to be so blind and bully us!" Jiang Chen smiled coldly and glanced at them, speaking irritably.

"I'm already being incredibly lenient by giving you a choice now. If you don't comply, don't blame me for ruthlessly eliminating you both!" Jiang Chen continued, speaking eloquently before they could even reply.

Jiang Chen's words left them speechless, and they dared not say anything more, for fear that if they said another word, they would anger Jiang Chen and he would kill them on the spot, which would be a loss for them.

Immediately afterwards, the two fat men went from being companions to enemies.

"Brother, we have to make a choice today. It's either you or me. There's no other way. I will do everything in my power to protect myself. Who lives and who dies depends on who is more capable," one of the fat men said with a pained expression and helplessness.

“I understand that this is not what we wanted to see, but we were forced by circumstances. I don’t blame you, come on!” Another fat man in black said helplessly.

After he finished speaking, a long sword appeared in the hand of one of the fat men. It was a silver sword, and although it was unknown what material it was made of, just a wisp of aura emanating from it made people feel that it was extremely sharp, and it was clear at a glance that it was not an ordinary item.

To be honest, he himself didn't know how powerful this sword was; he only knew it was extremely powerful. This was because the sword wasn't his own; he had stolen it and treasured it. He had won many battles with this sword, and he sensed that it was something special, a truly extraordinary sword.

He drew his divine sword, and a burst of air erupted as all his cultivation power exploded forth. The terrifying shockwave, like a category 12 typhoon, converged and created a dreadful storm that crashed down on his companions.

Seeing this, his companion sneered and drew his precious sword without hesitation. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, the weather changed abruptly, lightning flashed and thunder roared, which was very terrifying and its power was very strong and should not be underestimated.

Similarly, his treasured sword also came from an illegitimate source. It was a burial object discovered during a tomb raiding. He took a liking to the sword at first sight. The sword was gleaming and exceptionally sharp, and it should have been the treasured sword used by the tomb owner during his lifetime. Although it had been hidden from the light of day for countless years, it was still radiant and was definitely not an ordinary sword. One can imagine that the tomb owner must have been a very powerful figure to be worthy of such a powerful sword.

Without saying a word, his eyes sharpened, and he rushed over like lightning.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the two sides clashed violently, instantly creating a dazzling display of sword light and shadow, the earth slashed with terrifying force, leaving a trail of sword marks.

Gu Changqing, Jiang Chen, and Jiang Qingcheng stood by and watched the two engage in a fierce fight.

"Who do you think will win between the two of them?" Jiang Qingcheng asked with a slight smile, somewhat uncertain.

"It's hard to say. Their cultivation levels are about the same, you could say they're neck and neck. It's really hard to tell who has a better chance of winning." Gu Changqing rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought, finding it difficult to make a decision.

After all, the two are evenly matched, so it's really hard to guess. If their strengths were vastly different, then it would be much easier to guess.

"It's quite interesting to watch other people fight. Look at those two, don't they look like vicious dogs fighting over food? They're fierce and ruthless, neither of them willing to let the other go," Jiang Chen said excitedly, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

"puff!"

The fat man in black, wielding a sword, suddenly coughed up blood. He stared in utter shock as his companion's broadsword pierced his body, striking him squarely in the heart. His body slowly fell to the ground, lying there barely breathing.

His companions, seeing this, laughed gleefully, thinking they had won. They were completely unaware that his neck had been slashed open by a sword, blood splattering everywhere like a fountain, unstoppable. Soon after, he collapsed in a pool of blood, barely breathing.

At this moment, both fat men were filled with regret. They had thought that one of them would survive, but they never expected that the final result would be like this. They both ended up with the same fate, neither of them had a chance to live. Instead, they became a laughing stock for others. They felt like a joke, being treated as they pleased. Knowing that this would be the outcome, they would rather have ended their own lives than hurt their brotherhood.

"Brilliant, truly brilliant! I never expected it to end like this, with both sides suffering heavy losses. I was thinking of letting one of you go, but you both went too far, leaving the other no way out, and this is how it ended!" Jiang Chen couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer.
