Chapter 268: A Malicious Saber and a Fierce Cudgel, a Battle between Two Experts
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
Junior Leopard challenged Wang Yuebai, the most powerful man of the Wang Family. It caused a stir in Jianghu and embarrassed the Wang Family.
Using the Four Seas Trading Company to suppress Anyuan Store was an important means of competition among well-known families. This world, like ancient China, did not value business. Business was nothing but a tool. The competition between tools was usually a game of means and ability. No one would be like Junior Leopard and respond to the suppression of a trading company with a challenge against their most powerful man.
It didn't make sense!
”He is really from a humble family! He knows nothing about the rules!”
Those aristocratic families silently cursed, but also watched how the Wang Family would respond, with great interest.
Zhou Bao was a famous young expert in the world. Although his cultivation only reached Level Seven, his combat gains were remarkable, no worse than a Level Eight expert or even better. In terms of strength, he really had the ability to challenge Wang Yuebai.
As the most powerful man of the Wang Family, Wang Yuebai represented the face of the Wang Family. If he refused the challenge, the family's reputation would suffer. But there were other ways. Since the challenge was posed by Junior Leopard, Wang Yuebai could send his men to battle. You knew, in addition to Wang Yuebai, there were also many other experts who could battle. However, except Wang Yuebai, the rest of the men seemed unable to beat Junior Leopard.
Zhou Bao was the man who killed Buyan Gerel on the prairie in a one-to-one battle.
Moreover, at that time, his cultivation had not reached Level Seven!
Now that he had become a Level Seven expert, what level exactly has his combat capability reached?
No one really knew, but one thing was clear, Zhou Bao had never been beaten since his debut.
After enumerating the experts of the Wang Family, they found that only Wang Yuebai had a decent chance to win. Hence, on this matter, Wang Yuebai had no choice at all.
It was because of this that the Wang Family was quite straightforward. The day after Junior Leopard put the news out, the Wang Family accepted the challenge.
Accept!
10 days later, in Blackdragon Temple!
The Blackdragon Temple was not far from the World Hero Competition field. It was a very small martial arts school. If a few Taoist priests who knew martial arts could form a school, then the Blackdragon Temple was also a school.
In Jianghu, the Blackdragon Temple was not well-known. However, within a radius of hundreds-of-kilometers, it was very famous because it was very prosperous. On auspicious days, the believers around would bring their families here to offer incense and pray for safety.
The Wang Family chose the Blackdragon Temple as the venue, mainly because it was actually their estate. On their turf, they did not have to worry that Junior Leopard would cheat. Additionally, if they wanted, they could cheat. There was a large vacant lot behind the Blackdragon Temple which was a natural arms drill field. Both Wang Yuebai and Zhou Bao were experts, so their competition could not be tranquil. Besides, many busybodies were sure to flock here. To choose such a spacious place was safer.
To Junior Leopard, it was nothing. Because he was not going to cheat, nor was he afraid of the Wang's cheating, and he wasn't afraid others seeing his match with Wang Yuebai either.
The challenged had the right to decide where and when to fight. However, Wang Yuebai did not have much thought about the time of 10 days, so the time was still 10 days later since the challenge was put out.
When the time was fixed, something unexpected happened. The organizer of the World Hero Competition, the Great Jin Royalty, announced that the Hero Competition would stop on the day Zhou Bao challenged Wang Yuebai.
The decision was well received. As soon as it came out, it was praised.
In this way, neither side would be delayed.
”Damn it, the Jin Emperor really desires to stir up trouble!” After learning the news, Junior Leopard could only shake his head with a wry smile.

10 days later, in Blackdragon Temple!
From the wee hours, there were people in Jianghu on the road to Blackdragon Temple. By the time the sun rose, the hill where the Blackdragon Temple was situated and even the roof of the Blackdragon Temple had been already full of people. They jostled each other. Every now and then, there were several screams and arguments from the crowd. The Taoist priests had already lost their minds in an attempt to maintain order. The clever man had found a good place, while the clumsy one had been already crowded out of the temple.
In the hill where the Blackdragon Temple was situated, the only spacious place was the vacant lot behind the temple.
The vacant lot was about 1,000 feet long and several hundred feet wide. Around it was also full of people, but the space left was enough for the challenge.
A few of Junior Leopard's subordinates such as Jiang Xiao, Zhu Ba, and Wang Cheng, were worried about the Wang's tricks, so they came early. The Wang's also had already arrived here and were ready. Several cool shelters had been set up and had been occupied. Junior Leopard and his subordinates occupied one, and so did the Wang Family. Most notably, Wang She himself occupied one alone, leisurely drinking tea under a huge cool shelter. As for others who also occupied cool shelters, Junior Leopard did not know them.
Junior Leopard was not surprised that Wang She appeared. But he was a little surprised to see him so early.
”Isn't this guy always late? Why is he so early this time?”
Junior Leopard glanced at Wang She and then looked away.
Wang She did not seem to notice Junior Leopard looking at him and just bent his head over his tea.
In the crowd, Junior Leopard saw several familiar figures, the Wu's Family Head, Wu Yansheng and the First Elder, Lyu Yiyue. What surprised Junior Leopard, was a young man in his twenties, standing by the side of Wu Yansheng and Lyu Yiyue.
”Wu Yutian, the Wu's First Young Master!” Junior Leopard's heart trembled as if he thought of something. Glancing at Lyu Yiyue, he found that Lyu Yiyue was looking at him in a very friendly way, so he nodded slightly and averted his eyes.
He also saw two acquaintances besides the Wu's. One was Li Xiu, standing on the roof of the main hall of the Blackdragon Temple. He exuded fierce Sword Qi so that there was no one within 30 feet of him. He was looking at Junior Leopard with a strange look. Junior Leopard nodded to him, smiled, and then turned to another acquaintance, Meng Qingrong.
He gave the tsundere girl a sharp look in her budding breasts and a malicious thought flashed through his mind. He raised his hand, waved at Meng Qingrong, and revealed a smile that he thought was very charming. The tsundere girl responded by slightly opening her small mouth with a bewildered expression on her face. Seeing her reaction, he was satisfied, but soon he frowned.
An uncomfortable feeling rose from his heart.
”Someone is peeping!” The powerful spiritual mind made him instantly understand what was going on. His eyes narrowed slightly, and following his vision, his spiritual mind was instantly fixed on the old pine that was before the hall of the Blackdragon Temple. Amid the thick foliage, a figure loomed.
”Damn it! It's a woman!” Though the person's face was completely obscured by the shadow of the tree, Junior Leopard could clearly distinguish her gender from the graceful figure. Moreover, from her long and deep spirit, Junior Leopard could also confirm that her strength was Level Seven.
At this time, in this place, among so many people, only one person had such strength.
It's the new young expert, Ji Yeyue.
”Why is she hiding in the pine tree and being furtive? She definitely harbors evil intentions!” Junior Leopard grinned and gave a middle finger to the pine tree.
It was getting hot. The Wang Family only sent out a few people to keep order in the cool shelters. Since there were too many people and it was hot, the surrounding people began to be noisy and the sound was growing. Zhu Ba had got tired of waiting.
”Your Excellency, why doesn't the damn Wang Yuebai come? Didn't we make an appointment for today?”
”Just wait, wait a little longer!” Junior Leopard waved.
”But we've been waiting for more than two hours!”
”Now that His Excellency told you to wait a little longer, just wait a little longer. What's the hurry?” Jiang Xiao, who was next to him, discontentedly said, pulling Zhu Ba's sleeve. Then Zhu Ba quieted down.
After a while, the noisy crowd suddenly became silent, and then a voice abruptly became louder. Sitting in the cool shelter, Junior Leopard could see a group slowly approaching the Blackdragon Temple. The first man was riding on a fine black horse with a smile on his face that gave off a quiet expression like pines.
”Here come the Wangs! Here come the Wangs!”
”Look, that's Wang Yuebai, the most powerful man of the Wang Family!”
”And that man, who is side by side with Wang Yuebai, is the present Family Head of the Wang Family in Cenzhou!”
”What? The Wang's Family Head also came here?”
”Of course! The Wang's Family Head certainly came! Wang Yuebai is not only the Wang's most powerful man, but also his uncle!”
”No wonder. I see!”
