Chapter 381
“Wow!”
Xiao Chen’s strong and confident words caused a few thousand onlookers to exclaim in surprise. They did not expect Xiao Chen to agree so readily and even added a huge bet.
Although the bet was about the Ji Family or the Ji Family’s assets, no one laughed at Xiao Chen. Because the Ji Family’s survival was indeed in the hands of Xiao Chen.
What surprised the crowd was how Xiao Chen was able to fight against a first-level Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant. Although this Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant was an old man who was on the verge of death, he was still a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant after all. Let alone a first-level Blood Bear cultivator, even a Purple Elephant cultivator wouldn’t dare to fight against him head-on.
Even if Xiao Chen was a high-grade God’s Bestow expert, and after releasing the God’s Bestow, his strength would surge to the peak of the second stage of the Purple Elephant Realm, but he was still not a match for a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert. The difference in strength between different realms was huge, and it was not something that could be made up with brute force and courage.
What’s more, Xiao Chen said it would be decided in one move?
Could it be that Xiao Chen possessed a high-grade desolate skill that allowed him to fight across realms?
However, other than the legendary ninth-grade desolate skill, the eighth-grade desolate skill might not be able to do it. Everyone knew that Xiao Chen possessed a high-grade divine sound desolate skill, but they did not think that the Chaos Divine Sound could allow him to fight across realms.
There was no problem with these speculations and thoughts, and it was common sense. Everyone thought that Xiao Chen was trying to look impressive. Even Liu Ruhu was surprised. After the shock, he became worried. He thought that Xiao Chen was trying to show off and wanted to save face.
Although Liu Ruhu was very satisfied with Xiao Chen’s promise to hand over all the Ji Family’s assets to the Liu Family if he won, he could not take Xiao Chen’s life as a joke. Hence, he persuaded, “Xiao Chen, leave this old man to me.
After killing him, we will split the Ji Family’s assets 50-50. How about that? ”
“Brother Liu, I know you are worried that I cannot defeat that old man, but would I do something that I am not confident of?
Since this old man wants to play big, I’ll play with him! ”
Xiao Chen waved his hand and rejected Liu Ruhu’s good intentions. He gave Liu Ruhu a reassuring look and continued to speak coldly to the gloomy Ji Dahai, “Old man, have you decided?
Choose one of the two, scram or gamble?
I gave you the time of three breaths. One! ”
“You … I choose the duel!
Hmph! ”
Ji Dahai was forced by a junior like this, he was so angry that his nose was crooked. He had no other choice but to accept the bet, otherwise, Ji Clan would definitely perish today. Right now, he was regretting it to death, it wasn’t good to stay in the secret room and cultivate, but now he had fallen into such a tragic situation.
What’s more, if Ji Dahai didn’t dare to accept the challenge, he would lose all his face. In the future, he and the rest of the Ji Clan wouldn’t be able to establish a foothold in Sha Di City. Therefore, he had to accept this duel. If he didn’t accept the duel, his Ji Clan would be exterminated by the five beast kings in an hour’s time. There was no doubt about it.
In addition, Ji Dahai believed that with his strength, even if he could only display 70% of his combat strength due to his weak body, he would still be able to defeat Xiao Chen easily. He had also guessed that Xiao Chen was definitely a god bestowed expert, but so what?
Even if he released a high-grade god bestowment, Xiao Chen’s strength would only reach the second level of the Purple Elephant Realm temporarily, and that was already the limit.
“Xiao Chen, be careful. If I see that you are in danger, I will immediately make a move.”
When Liu Ruhu saw that he was unable to persuade Xiao Chen, he had no choice but to remind Xiao Chen to be careful. Moreover, with the Lion King around, Xiao Chen wouldn’t be in any danger. In addition, he was very curious why Xiao Chen was able to fight against Ji Dahai. Could it be that Xiao Chen was hiding a terrifying secret?
“Big Brother Liu, don’t worry.”
Xiao Chen nodded to Liu Ruhu. His reliance was naturally the terrifying Nine Extreme Slashes. He was very confident in the Nine Extreme Slashes. Back then in the bamboo forest valley, he had used the Nine Extreme Slashes to fight against Xue Bi Sha and the Black Magic Pavilion’s protectors. It was still effective. Naturally, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to deal with an old man at the end of his rope.
There was another reason. Xiao Chen determined that Ji Dahai wasn’t a god bestowed expert or a high-grade god bestowed expert. If Ji Dahai was a high-grade god bestowed expert, his cultivation wouldn’t just be at the first level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm after cultivating to the age of 100. Even if he couldn’t reach the Dragon Elephant Realm, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to reach the third level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. After all, he had the Ji Clan behind him. The Ji Clan didn’t lack money, and naturally, they wouldn’t lack cultivation resources.
“Roar!”
The Lion King roared at the four beast kings surrounding Ji Dahai and ordered them to retreat 60 feet away. He stood 30 feet away from Xiao Chen and transmitted a message to Xiao Chen: “Big Brother, go ahead and play. If that old man is hiding his strength, I will instantly kill him. Haha!”
“En.”
Xiao Chen nodded to the Lion King. He took two steps forward and slowly pulled out the wooden sword. He immediately released the Demonification God’s Bestow and began to inject the Power of Desolation into the wooden sword in preparation for the long-range Nine Extreme Slashes. He didn’t plan on using the Nine Extreme Slashes at close range. It was better to be safe than sorry.
“En?
Your cultivation has actually increased by four levels. You are indeed a high-grade god bestowed warrior. The younger generation will surpass us in time!
Xiao Chen, it seems like you do have the capital to be arrogant. However, your strength isn’t a match for me. Watch how I defeat you!
Hmph! ”
As Ji Dahai was too old and his lifespan was insufficient, he had been hiding in the Ji family’s underground chamber to focus on cultivation. He hadn’t come out for many years. A few months ago, he broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. His strength had indeed increased, but his lifespan hadn’t been extended. Only by breaking through to the Dragon Elephant Realm would he be able to extend his lifespan by about 20 years. Hence, he continued to cultivate, hoping to break through to the Dragon Elephant Realm in his lifetime.
Xiao Chen and Ji Dahai faced each other from a distance of 30 feet. Xiao Chen’s weapon was a wooden sword, while Ji Dahai’s weapon seemed to be his dragon-headed walking stick. Both of them were silently injecting Power of Desolation into their weapons.
Ji Dahai didn’t use the Power of Desolation armor to protect himself. He believed that if he couldn’t defeat Xiao Chen with force, he would be defeated. If he was defeated, there would be no meaning in him living. Because if he was defeated, everything that the Ji family owned would belong to the Liu family. The Ji family would also be truly finished. What meaning would there be for him to continue living?
Heaven Breaker had been coldly observing Xiao Chen and Ji Dahai. Seeing that the two of them were finally about to duel, he began to sneer in his heart, “Xiao Chen, since you are so arrogant, just wait to be killed. Do you really think that a Celestial Phenomenon expert is so easy to deal with?
A fellow who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, can’t blame others for his death. Hehe … ”
When thousands of people saw that Xiao Chen and Ji Dahai were about to unleash their strongest attack, they were extremely excited. They stared at the two people in the middle of the arena.
“Ah?
Xiao Chen’s sword contains such a powerful energy!
Is this something a Purple Image Realm expert can do?
No wonder Xiao Chen dared to accept the Ji family’s patriarch’s challenge. Xiao Chen is really abnormal!
Heavens!
Could it be that he is using the legendary ninth-grade Desolate Skill? ”
When the crowd saw the wooden sword that Xiao Chen was holding with both of his hands, which looked like a dazzling divine sword that could destroy the world, they felt a power so strong that it made their hearts palpitate. This kind of power was definitely not something that a Purple Image Realm could produce. They finally realized why Xiao Chen had accepted the challenge from the Ji Clan’s Grand Elder.
“Although Xiao Chen is very strong, the Ji family’s patriarch isn’t weak either. The Ji family’s patriarch’s dragon-head crutch also contains terrifying energy. It seems that although the Ji family’s patriarch is about to die of old age, he is still much stronger than a peak Purple Image Realm expert!”
When everyone shifted their gaze from Xiao Chen to the Ji family’s patriarch, they could feel the terrifying aura of a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert from the Ji family’s patriarch’s dragon-head crutch. Everyone no longer mocked Ji Dahai as a deep fear appeared in their eyes.
