refers to the Ascension Altar as a oath .

Despite facing two formidable Soul Masters, Gu Lie showed no signs of tension or fear.

If it weren't for his own past life experiences and Leng Yaozhu's earnest teachings, he probably would have laughed out loud on the spot.

Sima Jie might have some brains, but Cheng Ji was an absolute idiot, the kind of idiot who could be put in a museum.

And fools are ultimately better at dealing with things than smart people.

"Bro, that fat guy is disgusting!"

Na'er glanced at Cheng Ji with a look of disgust, then turned to remind Gu Lie.

"Then you hold off the other guy for now. I'll come help you after I've seen that fat guy off!"

Gu Lie nodded. He had already guessed Na'er's thoughts, as well as the outrageous remarks that the fat man, Cheng Ji, might make next.

As a brainless villain, it's obvious what he would say when he sees a cute woman.

However, Sima Jie seemed to be arguing with Cheng Ji about something, which prevented Cheng Ji from ignoring his outburst.

After reaching a consensus, Gu Lie and Na'er suddenly disappeared and appeared next to Sima Jie and Cheng Ji in the next moment.

Before they could react, Gu Lie's dragon claw and Na'er's silver dragon spear struck simultaneously, displaying two completely different fighting styles.

Gu Lie's style was extremely domineering. His dragon claws pierced straight into Cheng Ji's chest with overwhelming force, aiming to pierce through Cheng Ji.

In reality, doing this could have certain risks, such as the opponent taking the damage and then using their body to lock the dragon's claws in a counterattack.

However, inside the Ascension Platform, being pierced in the chest or abdomen would immediately mean being forced to leave the platform. Moreover, it's uncertain whether someone like Cheng Ji, who is merely a figurehead, would have the courage to fight to the very end.

Na'er's spear thrust was different from the ancient hunter's dragon claw; the angle was extremely tricky.

Compared to Na'er now, Ye Xinglan's swordplay, when she was in perfect harmony with her sword, was simply naive and unrestrained.

Although he had already drawn his spear, Sima Jie was not prepared for battle because Cheng Ji's idiocy was so outrageous that even he could not accept it. Instead, he casually held the spear in his right hand and focused on arguing with Cheng Ji.

He really couldn't understand why Qian Gu Zhangting would target Gu Lie and Na'er, nor could he understand why he would send Cheng Ji, this incurable idiot, to act with him.

If the Sima family hadn't been forced to pledge eternal allegiance to the ancient Qian Gu family in order to preserve their lineage, he would have wanted to run away long ago.

Therefore, he was caught off guard by Na'er's sudden attack and could only sacrifice his left arm to forcibly change Na'er's attack trajectory.

On the other hand, Cheng Ji's fate was not as good as Sima Jie's.

Although his innate superhuman strength allowed him to unleash terrifying power once he entered battle mode, he disengaged from his battle preparations because of his verbal sparring with Sima Jie.

Therefore, although he relied on the combat instincts he had developed under the guidance of the ancient family and immediately used his martial spirit to defend himself, this only turned his fatal wound into a serious one when facing the dragon claws of the ancient hunter. Several wounds were cut into his chest and abdomen by the dragon claws of the ancient hunter, and blood kept flowing out.

"You wretched brat!"

Cheng Ji cried out in pain and suddenly exerted force with both hands, trying to sweep Gu Lie away.

But to his horror, he discovered that even after adjusting his posture to better utilize his strength, he still couldn't defeat the six-year-old child in front of him.

He considered himself to be born with superhuman strength and never thought that among people of the same cultivation level, there was anyone whose physical strength could surpass his.

Even ancient families do not rely on physical strength.

"You're not the only one born with superhuman strength... Dragon's Wrath!"

Using its dragon claws to wrestle with Cheng Ji, Gu Lie suddenly opened its mouth, and a purple shockwave accurately struck the wound on Cheng Ji's chest.

While Garchomp excels in physical attacks, even without its Mega Z form, many have developed dual-wielding techniques.

As a martial spirit, the Ancient Hunter is not limited to physical combat. As long as it can defeat the enemy, it should be included in the combat system.

The immense power of Dragon's Wrath almost instantly drained a large portion of Cheng Ji's soul power.

Having suddenly lost a large amount of soul power, Cheng Ji's strength also suddenly decreased significantly.

Gu Lie once again unleashed both claws, but this time he changed his thrust into a slash. Although Cheng Ji's martial spirit blocked the attack, it didn't kill him on the spot, but it still inflicted several gruesome wounds on his chest and abdomen.

"Damn it, how dare you hurt me, who works for Brother Zhangting! I will definitely..."

The intense pain and the completely unacceptable situation caused Cheng Ji to immediately enter a state of incoherent rage and rambling.

However, before he could continue speaking, his mouth was covered with mud, and his incoherent ramblings turned into unintelligible sobs.

"Save your words. Na'er and the teacher don't like to hear them, and neither do the readers."

"Since you don't intend to commit suicide, then let me help you."

After shoving a lump of mud at Cheng Ji, Gu Lie disdainfully approached Cheng Ji, grabbed his martial spirit halberd, and forcefully pointed the tip of the halberd at Cheng Ji's throat.

Severely injured, Cheng Ji was completely unable to resist Gu Lie's power at this moment. He could only stare wide-eyed and let out unintelligible whimpers with a look of fear on his face.

Gu Lie completely ignored this, and even showed a hint of excitement.

"Let me repeat Qian Gu Zhangting's order:"

"Cheng Ji, listen to my command! Fight to the death! Fight to the last moment, then commit suicide!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the tip of the halberd pierced Cheng Ji's throat, and then his figure disappeared from the Ascension Platform.

"He even forgot to retract his martial spirit. Qian Gu Zhang Ting has really found a good helper."

……

"Hey, is it possible to reconcile?"

Barely managing to parry Na'er's attacks with one hand while holding the gun, Sima Jie hurriedly begged for mercy upon witnessing Cheng Ji's suicide.

"Reconcile? Are you kidding me at this point?"

Na'er's silver dragon spear never stopped, and her gaze towards Sima Jie now carried a hint of disdain for someone with intellectual disabilities.

You've already attacked me, and you still want to reconcile?

Eat shit with your master!

Seeing that reconciliation was hopeless and completing the mission at Qian Gu Zhang Ting was even more impossible, and witnessing Cheng Ji's suicide, Sima Jie steeled his heart and made an incomprehensible decision.

Suddenly, he withdrew his martial spirit, immediately knelt on the ground, and performed the most standard earth kneeling in front of Na'er and the approaching Gu Lie.

"I swear by the Ascension Altar that I, Sima Jie, will never again harm you!"

Upon hearing this oath, Gu Lie's expression changed drastically. He once again gathered the power of the dragon in his hands to form dragon claws, and stabbed them fiercely towards Sima Jie.

"Ancient Hunter, I swear it was from the bottom of my heart, why...?"

Before escaping, Sima Jie stared in disbelief at Gu Lie, whose face looked fierce.

Gu Lie remained silent, but his blows became even more forceful.

"I dare not believe the oaths of the Sima family, especially since you dare to tarnish the reputation of the Ascension Platform. You are already courting death!"
