Chapter 421: Grandfather Accepts! (2/2)
Both of them were the elites of the elites of Still water sword school, the master of masters. Even among the entire West Wind they were rare opponents.
Therefore, in the face of Lu Xingkong's tyrannical force they still had the strength to fight back.
The muscles on Elder Chengfeng's face twitched, there was no way he could pull his sword at the slightest disagreement——After all, the Still water sword school was the imperial Sword School. They rarely bullied others.
However, they were now facing Lu Xingkong, the leader nominally in charge of the military of the entire West Wind Kingdom, and the West Wind Lu clan that had been standing for thousands of years——
More importantly, the other side had occupied the word 'reason' today.
Although they usually do not need to reason with people who were weaker than them, but 'reason' was particularly important in the face of an equally powerful opponent.
The Cui family's direct descendant Cui Zhaoren had been killed, but they still could do nothing to the Lu family?
Was it not because the Lu family occupied the word reason?
Stone gentleman s.h.i.+ Tao's cultivation and martial arts were, after all, not as good as Elder Chengfeng. Being reprimand by Lu Xingkong, he flushed and turned pale alternately, and finally went purple, fist clenching tight and loosening. There were several times when he wanted to a pull out his sword and slash across, but the expression on Elder Chengfeng's face in the end made him let go of this absurd idea.
If he killed Lu Xingkong right outside the Lu family's house, he would become detested by all, wouldn't he?
Elder Chenfeng let out a soft sigh, “Defence minister, why do you have to make things difficult for us who just came to send a letter? You also know that there is n.o.body who dares to disobey the Old immortal?”
“So, because he wants to kill a child of my Lu family, I have to tie the child up and send him over to be killed?” Lu Xingkong sneered.
“You can also choose to avoid the battle——” whispered Elder Chengfeng.
“Avoid the battle?” Lu Xingkong burst into loud laughter, pointing to Elder Chengfeng. “Your Still water sword school really knows how to do calculations. If we avoid fighting the battle, the prestige of your Still water sword school will rise again, and the trust that you lost will be reestablished. Moreover, no one will dare to laugh at your Still water sword school being a group of embroidered pillows, right?”
“And what about my Lu family? Afraid to fight, afraid to die? Your still water sword school is cautious and careful about your reputation, do you think my Lu family wants to be belittled and looked down on? You want to step on the spine of my Lu family to stand back up, I'm afraid you got the wrong idea——I'll take the written challenge. Go back and tell your old fool that Li Muyang has no time for him. Since this started because of my Lu family, then I'll go to face that old fool's 'Still water sword technique'.”
Elder Chenfeng looked somewhat embarra.s.sed, the person Old immortal asked to see was Li Muyang, and the person he wanted to test was Li Muyang.
Now Lu Xingkong was forcibly intercepting, would that be what the old man wants?
Therefore, Elder Chengfeng earnestly and patiently advised, “Lord Lu, why take the risk? That Li Muyang is only the son of a servant of the Lu family, why won't Lord Lu let him have a try? It's harmless even if he loses. No one thinks he could beat Old immortal anyway. If he won, he would create a stir in the Divine continent, it is beneficial to his popularity. At the end of this battle, if Li Muyang is still alive, wouldn't he be one of the strongest in the starry sky?”
“But, presumably and surely——I'm not going to survive, right? Isn't that right?” Li Muyang stood beside Lu Xingkong, interrupting with a mocking face.
Lu Xingkong turned around, firmly clapping his hand upon Li Muyang's shoulder, saying fondly: “Good child, go wait inside, let Grandfather help you deal with this matter. That old fool of the Still water sword school is so old, but doesn't act his age, and used his strength to bully the weak. In order to avenge his son he actually issued a written challenge to a child——Is he not afraid of being laughed at by the world?”
“Lu Xingkong, you dare insult our Old immortal——” Elder Chengfeng snapped. What Lu Xingkong said was too damaging and too harsh. Even him, who was known for his good temper, could not take it anymore.
Lu Xingkong narrowed his eyes, and then looked at Li Muyang to say, “Don't you think it's strange? They are unafraid of letting the public know about such shameless matters. However, they want to block the mouth of everyone and not let people speak out. They get angry when they speak and said they will draw their swords and chop people into minced flesh——Ultimately, that's what the world is all about. The one with the strongest fist is right.”
“Muyang understand.” Li Muyang stated. “Back in Jiangnan I have a friend called Yan Xiangma who all day long says, 'I am the most famous hedonistic young master in Jiangnan city, there is nothing that I can't do'. He only did some petty crimes such as stealing a dog, kicking a chicken and flirting with girls. The most serious thing he done was that he got someone pregnant and she had to have an abortion.”
Li Muyang swept a glance over Elder Chengfeng, “It was only when I got to Tiandu that my views were broadened. Some people speak of righteousness and morality, and are swordsmen, but they do any disgusting things. What was that saying? The barking dogs don't bite, the dogs that don't bark will——sneak around and bite people to death.”
“Li Muyang, how dare you humiliate my Still water sword school, do you not want to live?” Elder Chengfeng snapped, the veins on his hand popping.
Stone gentleman s.h.i.+ Tao held his long sword in a tight grip with an impulse to sever Li Muyang into two.
They couldn't do anything to Lu Xingkong, but they had no scruples about killing Li Muyang.
He had no prestige and no power.
Li Muyang was greatly amused, coldly snorted: “What a joke. When I don't even know where the door of your Still water sword school is, your Master came to ambush and kill me on the street. When I don't even know who your Old immortal is, he sent you to deliver a letter of challenge to me——I am going to die anyway, so what if I scold you?”
