Chapter 377: Shang Hongchen's mindset exploded

~7 min read 1,293 words

Shang Hongchen couldn't defeat Shang Hongxue, and she was very anxious.

Her mindset was about to explode; no matter what, the younger sister wouldn't fall, even if she used all her strength, this younger sister remained so, with firm willpower and tenacious character, no matter how many times she fell she would get up, and each time she got up it frayed Shang Hongchen's nerves once.

How long had it been, this battle had lasted two hours, Shang Hongxue's swordsmanship and combat experience improved quickly, whereas she was forced into a desperate situation, repeatedly falling into worry, unable to extricate herself.

"Shang Hongxue, fall down, don't get up again."

With one sword strike, Shang Hongxue was knocked away; likewise, Shang Hongchen was also shaken and flown away together.

This sword strike, she likewise suffered a recoil; that shaking force made her right hand tremble; in terms of strength, Shang Hongxue's power was above hers, relying solely on strength was enough to make her worry.

Their true qi was largely depleted, both relying on strong willpower to support themselves, neither wanted to fall or retreat, both wanting to force the other to fall; Shang Hongxue got up, holding her sword, staring at Shang Hongchen.

She had plenty of medicinal pills, but she didn't take them; taking pills would be cheating, Shang Hongxue looked down on doing that; she wanted to defeat her older sister openly and aboveboard, to let Shang Hongchen know her prowess, also to make her regret it, and at the same time to prove Shang Hongchen wrong.

Looking down on my Chuyang older brother is the worst decision you've made in your life; my Chuyang older brother is the strongest person under heaven and also the most talented; what gives you, Shang Hongchen, the right to look down on my Chuyang older brother?

"Shang Hongchen, I cannot possibly fall; before you fall, I cannot possibly fall."

Shang Hongxue pointed her sword at Shang Hongchen and said lightly: "No matter what, I will defeat you."

She had the notion of not falling, and also the reason of not losing.

For Chuyang older brother, for herself, for her future and her unwillingness in her heart, she could not fall.

Shang Hongxue knew that if she fell, that older sister would take her away, after which she would never see Chuyang older brother again; she did not want to go to the Heavenly Heart Sect; she wanted to prove all this, to prove Shang Hongchen wrong.

She, Shang Hongxue, is the correct person.

Only the victor has the right to say those words.

The loser only has the right to be dominated.

And she wants to be the victor, not the loser, nor…… the one who is dominated.

Shang Hongchen's mouth twitched as she looked at Shang Hongxue before her; the younger sister who used to follow behind her had grown up, having her own ideas and also her own persistence; this willpower moved Shang Hongchen, she never expected her sister's obsession to be so strong, so…… frightening.

Yes, Shang Hongchen was afraid, very afraid of this younger sister.

Before, she had never felt such fear; at this moment it appeared.

Staring at Shang Hongxue, Shang Hongchen gritted her teeth and launched an attack with her last strength.

"This sword strike will definitely defeat you."

"Shang Hongxue, I am your older sister; I cannot possibly lose, and I cannot possibly lose to you."

Shang Hongchen was the same; she could lose to others, but the only thing she could not do was lose to Shang Hongxue.

This is her younger sister; how could she lose to her?

No matter what, she cannot lose.

Their obsessions are alike; neither wants to yield, nor to bow their head and retreat.

This battle is destined to have one person fall; neither of them thinks it will be herself.

Zhang Nongqian down the mountain watched, gazing, not even bothering about the fire-attribute fruit.

A pair of eyes stared, waiting for the outcome to be decided.

Yet, still no decision was reached.

The sisters' battle was extremely intense, extremely frightening, and also extremely heated.

"Older sister Hongxue, you must defeat her."

"Cannot lose to her."

Clenching her fists, she inwardly cheered for Shang Hongxue.

She stood on Shang Hongxue's side, unwavering, determined to defeat that bad person.

Exactly, in her heart, Shang Hongchen is that bad person, a major bad person.

Liu Yuer glanced and shook her head.

"They won't decide the outcome that quickly."

She, who could see through the essence at a glance, had already seen through everything.

Those who did not want to fall, each had her own persistence and reason for not losing.

Hu Yueer was also moved by their persistence, staring at the two of them.

Regarding Shang Hongxue's change, she might not feel much, after all she is a latercomer and does not know Shang Hongxue's situation.

Chen Qinger felt it most deeply; she stopped practicing sword, watching Shang Hongxue's battle; their swordsmanship were both mysterious, Shang Hongxue's swordsmanship had improved greatly, each time making people…… feel surprised.

This improvement came quickly; compared to just now, it was as if they were two completely different people.

"Sister-in-law Hongxue, you must keep up the effort, don't lose to Shang Hongchen."

She indeed knows those things about Shang Hongchen, and also knows that Shang Hongchen looks down on her own cousin; this time coming up the mountain, she likely came to cause trouble.

Regarding that, she firmly stood on Shang Hongxue's side, her heart also anxious, wanting Shang Hongxue to take a medicinal pill; at such a time, taking one pill could change everything, but she didn't take it, possibly due to her own pride and persistence; regarding this, Chen Qinger said nothing, merely giving her unwavering support.

"You can lose to anyone, but the only one you cannot lose to is her."

The things Shang Hongchen did, along with her behavior, made Chen Qinger dislike that woman.

Her tone of speech and her appearance; in short, Chen Qinger disliked her.

She had never liked that woman; if it weren't for the fact that this woman was engaged to her own cousin, she wouldn't want to have anything to do with her at all.

In contrast, sister-in-law Hongxue is different—gentle, lovable, generous, handling affairs with propriety, excellent in all aspects; compared to Shang Hongchen they are completely different people, different personalities, giving a feeling like a spring breeze.

Shang Yingnian seeing this, his heart was moved greatly.

His gaze fell upon his little daughter, and he was thoroughly satisfied.

"This girl Hongxue is very good; her swordsmanship, cultivation, combat experience have all improved greatly."

"Compared to Hongchen, she is not lacking at all; being able to push Hongchen to this extent is beyond my expectation."

Shang Yingnian originally thought his little daughter lasting a hundred moves would be not bad; he did not think Shang Hongxue would win; judging from the current situation, who wins or loses is still unknown.

Hongxue has a chance to victory; it depends on who can endure to the end.

In response, Shang Yingnian thanked Chen Chuyang again; without him, there would be no Hongxue today.

Hongxue is truly excellent; this talent once again astonished Shang Yingnian.

"Son-in-law, Hongxue has done wonderfully; all of this is your achievement."

Chen Chuyang humbly replied: "Father-in-law, you overpraise me; these are all Hongxue's own achievements, I merely played a small part."

"It's all thanks to the father-in-law's fine bloodline, which produced such a fine daughter as Hongxue."

After hearing that, Shang Yingnian wore a satisfied smile.

"It's the son-in-law who did well."

"It's the father-in-law's good bloodline."

The two began mutually praising each other, engaging in business mutual flattery, and everyone was happy.
