16 Decisive Battle With Xiao Jian (1/2)

Xiao Jian was dressed in a blue gi, making him look elegant and confident. However, he had a gloomy look on his face that made him seem extremely menacing. ”It's best if he shows up, if he does not, then there will be no longer be a place for him in the Xiao Clan.”

”Indeed, what great guts this fellow has, to think that he actually dared to hit the Eldest Young Master's face, he is simply just asking for trouble.”

Hitting his face!

When Xiao Jian heard this, his gloomy face turned even more terrifying. In regards to his status, he was the person with the highest talent in cultivation amongst the younger generation of the Xiao Clan. Before he was eighteen, he was already a peak Martial Disciple, a single step from becoming the youngest Martial Master in Mohe City. Xiao Chen was just a piece of trash, yet he actually dared to challenge him. Furthermore, he hit him in the face in front of everyone. What in the world was going on? Xiao Jian had already decided that if Xiao Chen dared to come, he would immediately cripple him, letting him truly taste regret.

Time slowly went by, and the appointed time had already passed by four hours and Xiao Chen still had yet to make his appearance. The chatters of the crowd got louder and louder. Xiao Jian looked at the entrance, but there was no Xiao Chen in sight. He could not help but feel some frustration.

Xiao Jian murmured to himself and proceeded towards the First Elder of the Xiao Clan, who presided over this duel, ”Martial uncle, Xiao Chen is still not here yet, should we send someone to find him?”

The Xiao Clan's clan head, Xiao Xiong, had already entered a closed-door seclusion cultivation in order to break through and become a Martial Saint. He had left the management of the Xiao Clan's affairs to the First Elder, Xiao Qiang. For events such as this duel, Xiao Qiang would preside over them as well.

Xiao Qiang coldly stated: ”You think that I have not tried to find him in the past few days? The guards of Seven Horn Mountain told me that he went inside and has not left yet.”

When the surrounding people heard this, they found it incomparably strange. There was Rank 2 Spirit Beasts even on the outskirts of Seven Horn Mountain, so if a 9th Grade Spirit Refinement realm cultivator went inside, wouldn't they just be courting death?

”Haha, Young Master Xiao, that fellow might have already died at the paws of a Spirit Beast. It looks like you don't have to personally take action anymore.”

”Even after seven days, he still hasn't come out. He is definitely dead. No wonder he had not shown up yet.”

Suddenly, a commotion broke out amongst the crowd alongside cries of surprise—Xiao Chen had arrived!

”Xiao Chen is here, he really is here.”

”Who is the girl beside him? Do you guys know?”

”'I've never seen her. It is almost time for the duel, why did he bring a girl along? However, this girl is quite pretty.”

Xiao Chen just ignored their blabber and calmly walked towards the arena in the middle of the martial hall. Xiao Yulan followed by his side with a frown. She was not used to so many people paying attention to her.

At first, Xiao Jian was shocked when he heard the news of Xiao Chen's arrival. After Xiao Chen arrived at the stage, however, Xiao Jian simply laughed coldly, ”Brother Chen, I thought that the Spirit Beasts had already eaten you at Seven Horn Mountain. I never expected that you would be able to make your way out.”

Xiao Chen smiled gently: ”Many thanks to elder brother for your concerns, but before we settle this, how could I allow myself to die?”
