Chapter 23
“Shut up!”
Fan Tu didn’t intend to be friendly either. He shouted at Su Qun, “If you dare speak rudely again, I’ll throw you out right away!”
Su Qun glanced at him and spat, “That’s how the Jiang Mansion treats a guest? Even a servant dares yell like this? I would like to hear what Senior Lord Jiang has to say about this.”
“Of course we have the proper manners to treat guests. But, we also have manners to deal with unreasonable people,” Gao Yue said calmly.
Su Qun kept his temper under control on hearing this, but he was a smooth talker. Otherwise he wouldn’t have been sent here to negotiate the disengagement agreement with the Jiangs.
He pointed at Jin Jie and said, “Isn’t this girl unreasonable enough? Why don’t you take her down? Jiang Chen is about to lose!”
“Not necessarily,” Fan Tu answered without a second thought.
When the scimitar hit against the blade, the sword stayed still. It was Jiang Feng whose blade bounced off.
“How?” No one understood what was going on.
Except Jiang Chen. His genuine qi had been converted to genuine yuan, but it could spiral as well.
This time Jiang Chen didn’t intend to compete with him on the skill of their sword methods. Instead, with the help of his sword, he managed to enhance his strength. Then he manipulated this strength to confront Jiang Feng.
He wanted to bring this arrogant guy down completely. Besides, Jiang Feng had such a great advantage over him. Only in this way could he amaze the crowd.
“Aren’t you in the beginning of the preliminary stage?”
To Jiang Feng’s great surprise, he did even worse than Jin Jie. He couldn’t swallow the defeat, so he started to use more and more strength.
The scimitar and the sword were hitting against each other like two drunkards.
Bang!
Jiang Feng’s scimitar was shattered to pieces in the end. He retreated to the edge of the ring, gasping for breath.
“Your sword method is even worse than Jin Jie’s. No wonder she dares challenge you,” Jiang Chen made fun of him.
“Sh*t!” Jiang Feng wasn’t willing to throw in the towel and intended to continue the fight.
Jiang Chen shook his head and sneered at him, “You’d better leave the ring. If you insist on fighting, I’m afraid your defeat will be more disastrous than Jin Jie’s.”
Jiang Feng recalled Jin Jie’s face after the fight, which made her look like a fool. He got scared in a second and hasted to jump out of the ring.
Jiang Chen had won two victories in a row. Along with his great performance with the Bow of Lost Souls and the Skyquest Sword, the people of the east courtyard were more than excited.
“Su, can your young lady achieve this?” Fan Tu sneered.
Su Qun looked calm, but he was silently cursing Jin Jie and Jiang Feng.
Pretending that he didn’t care, he smiled and said, “How can you make a man compete with a woman? I always say that Su Qian could have a better husband.
“Look.”
Su Qun pointed at the ring and showed a mysterious smile.
Gao Yue and Fan Tu looked over and saw Meng Fei finally jumping into the ring.
“He is also in the peak of the preliminary stage. How great is that?”
“For your information, Meng Fei is a genius who mastered the sword point.”
“What?!”
Meng Fei drew his sword out of its sheath in the ring. The chime given out by his sword was lingering in everyone’s ears. The whole world was shocked by the resonance the sound had.
“Mastering sword point at this age isn’t so easy. This Meng Fei is really something,” Li Lie said.
As disciples of the Swordquest School, of course they knew what sword point was. They had mastered sword point as well, though they had been much older than Meng Fei.
“Jiang Chen, you can choose to give up the fight. You are in a lower state than him and have had two victories. It’s good enough,” Jiang Lu said.
“You wanna give up without a try?”
Meng Fei sneered at him, “That’s fine. But you have to promise me one thing—to sign the disengagement agreement.”
