Chapter 228
“Lord Clan Leader, don’t be rash …” Qian Dashou saw that his Clan Leader had lost his reason and jumped in fright. He hurriedly whispered to Qian Baiyi to calm down and not lose his composure. If he really started a war with Xiao Chen, things would get out of hand.
“Grand Elder!
You don’t have to say anymore!
Since you have already said it, it’s up to you if he wants to fight or make peace!
There’s no way a piece of trash like him can ask for a million taels of purple gold as compensation! ”
Qian Baiyi had almost completely fallen out with Xiao Chen, so he bit the bullet and persisted. If he were to change his mind now, it would mean that he had weakened his stance. He would end up in a completely passive situation. If Xiao Chen was an insatiable person, he would ask for an even more terrifying amount of compensation. If the Qian family were to reject it again, it would give them something to use against Xiao Chen to attack the Qian family. The Qian family would also be laughed at by the onlookers.
“This …” Seeing that he could not persuade his Clan Leader, Qian Dashou sighed in his heart. He quietly circulated the Power of Desolates and was prepared to start a war at any time.
The other Qian family elders and Qian family guards turned nervous. They stared intently at Xiao Chen in front of them. This was because Xiao Chen’s thoughts would determine whether the war would start or not.
“Clang!”
When Xiao Chen heard Qian Baiyi’s insults, his eyes turned cold. He pulled out the wooden sword behind him with a murderous aura. Clearly, he could not help but want to kill.
He was an unruly person, but he was also a person with a backbone. He was unknowingly protected by the Sha family patriarch. This was a great irony to him. This was because his brother, The Lion King, had been killed by the Sha family patriarch, Sha Potian. Now, Qian Baiyi was using this matter to belittle and even insult him. How could Xiao Chen remain calm?
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
After Xiao Chen pulled out his sword, the 300 poor martial artists behind him also pulled out their own weapons. They glared at the Qian Clan members like tigers watching their prey. They didn’t seem to be afraid at all. Instead, they looked forward to the battle. Even if they died, they would fight to the death!
The 300 poor warriors had such courage, not only because they were a group of fierce people themselves, but also because they were led by the famous Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen was their spiritual pillar. Even if Xiao Chen asked them to attack the City Lord’s Mansion of Long Yao City, they would not hesitate to rush over.
These 300 poor martial artists weren’t some heinous villains. They wouldn’t rob commoners. At most, they would rob other martial artists’ treasures, or they would go deep into the mountains and forests to search for treasures. Occasionally, they would target small families, or they would simply sell fake goods.
These were understandable. The poor warriors had too little cultivation resources. If they did not put in some effort, it would be difficult to get enough money to buy cultivation elixirs, desolate skills, weapons, etc. This was also one of the reasons why Xiao Chen was willing to stand up for the 300 sellers. Of course, Xiao Chen was only doing this because he was unhappy with the Qian Clan.
“Eh …”
When Qian Yiwan saw Xiao Chen pull out his weapon and the three hundred poor cultivators’ fighting spirit soar, he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He calmed down and said coldly, “Xiao Chen, are you sure you want to fight?
You and the 300 shrimp soldiers will not be able to withstand a single blow. The Qian Clan actually does not want to be enemies with you. I hope you will think this through! ”
“Since you look down on me, then let’s fight!
Kill! ”
Xiao Chen couldn’t be bothered to speak any more nonsense. He suddenly moved. As he was running, his eyes suddenly turned blood red. His body flickered with black light, and his aura surged and became extremely violent. He just wanted to have a great battle and kill to his heart’s content. He wanted to wash away the humiliation of being protected by his enemy’s father.
It was obvious that Xiao Chen didn’t dare to be careless in front of all the strong cultivators, especially when he found that the Qian family’s leader and the Qian family’s great elder were both Purple Image realm cultivators. He released the Demonic God’s Gift right away, planning to go all out. Otherwise, he would die today, and so would the three hundred poor cultivators behind him.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
When the 300 poor warriors saw that Xiao Chen had finally made his move, all of them roared. Almost at the same time, their bodies burst out and crushed towards the Qian Clan’s experts. Their aura was imposing and their killing intent was soaring.
“Qian Clan’s experts are resisting the enemy!
This battle was instigated by Xiao Chen. Everyone can see it for themselves. The Sha Clan Patriarch will find out the truth and uphold justice!
Xiao Chen has gone too far! ”
Qian Yiwan saw that Xiao Chen had released the God’s Bestow and was charging towards him. He did not show any fear, but he also released his Iron Armor God’s Bestow. His cultivation level increased by two levels, reaching the peak of the third level of the Purple Elephant realm. His strength was suddenly extremely powerful, and he was two levels higher than the demonized Xiao Chen.
He did not immediately charge towards Xiao Chen, but channeled the Power of Desolation into his voice and deliberately shouted, shifting the blame. He wanted all the warriors in Long Yao City to know that the Qian Clan was only defending themselves, and that they did not deliberately start a war with Xiao Chen. Everything was the result of Xiao Chen’s unreasonable bullying.
“Clan Head Qian, don’t play tricks with me. I, Xiao Chen, do not need the protection of the Sha Clan Patriarch. If you can kill me, then do it ruthlessly!
Hmph! ”
When Xiao Chen heard Qian Yiwan mention the Sha Clan Patriarch again, his face turned even more gloomy. He could not help but snort coldly and used all his strength to shorten the distance between them.
“That’s what I wanted to hear!
Xiao Chen, rumor has it that you are very powerful. Let me have a taste of it!
Eat my saber!
Ha! ”
When Qian Yiwan heard that Xiao Chen had distanced himself from the Sha Clan Patriarch, he sneered in his heart. He had been waiting for this sentence. With this sentence, even if he injured Xiao Chen, the Sha Clan Patriarch would not do anything to the Qian Clan. Hence, Qian Yiwan pulled out his short saber and attacked.
Qian Yiwan’s short saber was only three feet long and three inches wide. It was completely purple in color, and it must be a desolate weapon made of special materials. As for why it was not made longer, it could be because there were so many materials. Of course, it could not be ruled out that Qian Yiwan preferred a short and thick style.
Although the dagger was short, Qian Yiwan’s aura was extraordinary when wielded by the powerful Qian Yiwan. Purple light shone brightly around the dagger, and it was a terrifying sight. It was not far off from Xiao Chen’s powerful wooden sword. Obviously, the level of the dagger was not low either.
“Boom!”
Xiao Chen and Qian Yiwan’s speed was as fast as lightning. They covered the distance of several feet in a blink of an eye. Following that, the two powerful desolate weapons clashed together violently, resulting in a horrifying explosion. The huge recoil and explosive impact sent Xiao Chen and Qian Yiwan flying at the same time. However, the two of them didn’t fall and weren’t injured.
The two of them clashed for the first time and were evenly matched. Xiao Chen retreated slightly further, which was obviously due to the huge difference in cultivation. However, cultivation could be made up with desolate skills and combat power. In other words, Xiao Chen’s current strength was enough to contend with Qian Yiwan, who was a Purple Image Realm God Bestow Warrior.
As the Patriarch of a large clan in Long Yao City, Qian Yiwan’s strength was already very good. He was much stronger than Ji Chenggong and Situ Bei because he was an iron-armored God Bestow Warrior, while Ji Chenggong and Situ Bei weren’t. However, the Qian Clan’s overall strength was far inferior to the Ji Clan or Situ Clan.
“The famous Young Master Xiao Chen indeed lives up to his reputation. You are quite capable, but you are still not a match for me!
Again! ”
After exchanging blows with Xiao Chen, Qian Yiwan had a rough understanding of Xiao Chen’s strength. His confidence swelled up as he roared and slashed at the void in front of him with his powerful short saber. The space in front of him became slightly distorted. His legs were running wildly, and wherever the short saber went, the air would explode with a terrifying aura.
“Kill!”
Xiao Chen didn’t show any weakness and couldn’t be bothered to say more. With a cold shout, his figure flashed and turned into a series of afterimages as he rushed forward. The wooden sword danced wildly, and wherever the pitch-black sword beam went, the air would be turned into nothingness. It was extremely terrifying.
