Xiaoxue VS Qi Xin

That person's punch had the power to cover the sky and earth, with a roar like thunder. A terrifying Aura radiated outwards, making people feel stifled. Clearly, this person was an expert.

Long Chen let out a cold snort. Just as he was about to make a move, a roar suddenly came from behind him. A giant claw reached out, blocking in front of Long Chen.

"Little Snow!"

Long Chen was startled. He and Little Snow were connected by Soul, and Little Snow could feel his anger, so it attacked indignantly.

"Boom!"

Little Snow swiped its claw out, striking the man's fist directly. A loud explosion erupted, and with a burst of terrifying power, the man let out a muffled groan and flew backward.

One must know that Little Snow was a Rank 3 Demonic Beast, and an outstanding one at that. Although it did not specialize in brute force, it was still not something that man could withstand.

After swatting the man away with one claw, Little Snow let out a heaven-shaking roar. Its terrifying Aura covered all directions, causing the surrounding Demonic Beasts to tremble in fear. That was the Aura belonging to a king.

Little Snow opened its big mouth, and a wind blade shot out, slicing through space and heading straight for the horrified man.

"Little Snow, no!"

Long Chen was shocked. It was too late to stop it; Little Snow had already launched the attack.

Little Snow could feel Long Chen's anger, but it lacked Long Chen's intellect and did not know how to exercise restraint, so it had unleashed the wind blade directly.

The giant wind blade, like a scythe of the Grim Reaper, sliced through space, emitting a piercing sonic boom that made the world tremble. Everyone was stunned with fear.

No one expected Long Chen's Demonic Beast to attack, and even less did they expect that it was a Rank 3 Demonic Beast—and an extremely terrifying one at that.

Unlike others, whose Demonic Beasts all had a Soul mark planted within them and dared not disobey their master's orders, Little Snow was different.

Long Chen had established a friendship with it, not a contract, so Little Snow had its own thoughts.

Precisely because its Soul was not imprisoned, Little Snow was able to grow so quickly and possess such powerful attack strength.

Because after a Demonic Beast is constrained by a Soul mark, its own combat power is greatly affected, being weakened by at least half. But there was no help for it; incidents of Demonic Beasts devouring their masters happened from time to time, so no one dared to do as Long Chen did.

Therefore, the strike Little Snow launched was not an attack from an ordinary mount, but an attack fully unleashed by a Rank 3 Demonic Beast.

The man's face turned green with fear, for he discovered with horror that he seemed to be submerged in mud, making it difficult to even move a step, let alone dodge.

The entire crowd let out an exclamation. If this continued, the man would surely die. One had to know that killing between Disciples was forbidden within the branch courtyard.

In the dense forest in the distance, Tang Waner, who had originally just been watching the fun, was also startled. She had only been thinking about how to get revenge on Long Chen and hadn't noticed that a Rank 3 Demonic Beast was lurking by his side.

"Oh no."

Although she was very dissatisfied with Long Chen's rudeness and even held a little resentment, Tang Waner did not want Long Chen to be expelled just like that.

"Water Spirit Shield!"

Suddenly, a cold shout came. A figure appeared in front of the wind blade, extended a large hand, and a huge, dark blue shield immediately manifested in front of him.

The shield was three zhang in diameter and was actually formed from water, looking like a giant, semi-circular water droplet.

"Bang!"

The wind blade collided with the water shield, producing a loud explosion. Water splashed everywhere, and within a hundred zhang radius, water droplets scattered like falling flowers.

After the water droplets landed, people finally saw a figure appear there.

"Qi Xin!"

The crowd let out an exclamation. The person who had blocked the wind blade was actually Qi Xin.

Seeing that Qi Xin had blocked Little Snow's strike, Long Chen let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was deeply shocked.

He was truly worthy of being called a Prodigy-level figure; he had actually managed to block that strike from Little Snow.

"Hmph, you are merely relying on the advantage of a pet. It is not worth a laugh," Qi Xin glanced at Long Chen and said indifferently.

This statement was very pretentious. Especially after he had blocked Little Snow's terrifying strike, accompanying it with such words made Long Chen feel that he was just being an arrogant show-off.

"A powerful pet is also a form of strength. If two people are fighting, and one cannot break through the other's armor, should one demand that the other take off their pants to fight?

Even an idiot should have a limit, right? With that IQ of yours, you dare to have designs on Tang Waner?

You are clearly a Martial Artist, yet you insist on dressing like a scholar. Why don't you go take the imperial examinations? Why are you running around here showing off?

Do you know what a sissy means? Do you know how to explain being affected and pretentious? Oh! Looking at your expression, it seems you know a little bit about it."

Long Chen unleashed a barrage of sarcasm without hesitation. The entire scene fell into a dead silence. No one expected that Long Chen would have the guts to point his finger at a monster-level Genius and curse him.

"Pfft."

In the distant dense forest, Tang Waner, who was secretly watching, suddenly laughed out loud and hurriedly covered her mouth with her jade hand.

"Although this Long Chen is extremely detestable, that Qi Xin is not a good thing either; he is a hypocrite. This is what you call one villain deserves another."

Tang Waner muttered to herself. The two women accompanying her looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Tang Waner was laughing, but Guo Ran, who was behind Long Chen, was on the verge of tears. He even felt some regret for recognizing Long Chen as his boss. He had the urge to smash his head against a wall.

Previously, he had adamantly refused to join Ye Zhiqiu's faction. Later, whether his brain finally cleared up or he was moved by beauty, he finally acted normally, which made Guo Ran ecstatic.

But having just joined Tang Waner's faction, he immediately turned his spearhead to clash with another monster. What on earth is this Boss Long Chen trying to do?

Qi Xin was so angry that his face turned black. For so many years, even his elders in the Family had never spoken a harsh word to him. Outside, he was even worshipped like an idol. When had he ever been mocked like this?

"You are provoking me. Do you know that you will pay a painful price?" Qi Xin said coldly.

"Provoking? No, I never do such boring things. Fighting over jealousy, brawling, and acting arrogant—these are things only idiots like you love to do. Even if I wanted to do them, I couldn't," Long Chen shook his head and said very modestly.

Everyone was startled. What kind of background does this kid have to be so sarcastic towards Qi Xin? Does he not want to stay in the Xuantian Branch Courtyard and is prepared to give up, or does he really have the confidence?

"Arrogant. Let me see if you have the capital for it."

No matter how good Qi Xin's cultivation was, he could not endure such mockery. Especially in front of so many people, if he did not teach Long Chen a lesson, his reputation would be ruined.

With a cold snort, Qi Xin slowly walked towards Long Chen. As he took his steps, his Aura slowly rose, becoming stronger and stronger, to the point that even the ground trembled.

People knew that Qi Xin was truly angry. His current Aura was actually even more terrifying than when he was fiercely fighting Lei Qianshang earlier.

Seeing Qi Xin get angry, Lei Qianshang and Yue Zifeng both narrowed their eyes. They also wanted to see what kind of trump card Long Chen had to dare to provoke Qi Xin like this.

Tang Waner, who was peeking from the dense forest, hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not come out. She muttered to herself, "They say good people don't live long, while scourges last for a thousand years. That guy is not a good egg either, he won't be taken down so easily. Let's watch a bit more."

Originally, Tang Waner had just wanted to tease Long Chen a little to see if Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin would send their subordinates to cause trouble for him. Who told him to curse her so harshly?

But later, the matter grew bigger and bigger, gradually becoming uncontrollable. If Long Chen were to be severely injured because of her, she would feel bad about it.

However, she vaguely felt that Long Chen didn't seem like someone to be trifled with, so she decided to wait and watch for a while.

Seeing this scene, the crowd retreated into the distance one after another. No one wanted to get splattered with blood; after all, that was a monster-level expert.

"Guo Ran, you should also step back further. Don't just stand there as if you're doing something important." Seeing that Guo Ran was still behind him and hadn't retreated, Long Chen urged him away, though he felt a little touched inside. Not everyone dared to face a monster-level expert.

"Boss, I want to leave too, but my legs are shaking from fear, and I can't move," Guo Ran said, on the verge of tears.

"Damn it!"

Long Chen kicked Guo Ran in the butt. Guo Ran immediately traced an arc and flew a hundred zhang away.

After kicking Guo Ran away, Long Chen jumped onto Little Snow's back and said to Qi Xin with an arrogant face, "Kid, bring it on!"

Damn it, you love to act arrogant, don't you? Today, I'll let you know that if your skills aren't enough, acting arrogant will only make you look like a fool.

Qi Xin let out a cold snort and exerted force with his feet. He lunged straight towards Long Chen like a sharp sword.

"Hum!"

But just as his figure moved, a wind blade flew straight at him. It was spat out by Little Snow. Although the power was not as great as before, Qi Xin did not want to take it head-on. He didn't need to struggle with a Demonic Beast; he only needed to subdue Long Chen.

Qi Xin hurriedly dodged to the side, but just as he avoided that attack, another wind blade struck. He could only dodge again and was unable to advance.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…"

To Qi Xin's shock, Long Chen was sitting on Little Snow's back, constantly making it spit out wind blades. Although the intensity was not high, they were extremely dense, causing him to become flustered.

Watching Qi Xin dodging left and right, Long Chen suddenly called out loudly, "Fellow elders and neighbors, ladies and gentlemen, I am passing through this precious land and have run out of travel funds. Now, I am putting on a monkey show. I hope those with money will support with money, and those without will support with their presence.

Whether it's three thousand or five thousand gold coins, I won't mind more, and I won't mind one or two either. As the saying goes, talk without action is a fake trick, and action without talk is a foolish trick. Let's get started.

Everyone watch closely, this high jump, this somersault. I tell you, without ten or eight years of professional training, you definitely couldn't do it so cleanly and neatly."

Long Chen sat on Little Snow's back, controlling its attacks while providing professional commentary on Qi Xin's movements. The entire crowd's eyes were almost popping out; he was really treating Qi Xin like a monkey.

"Kid, you are courting death."

Qi Xin was finally enraged. His whole body erupted with a sky full of water vapor, like a transparent shield covering him. He braced himself against Little Snow's wind blades and rushed straight towards Long Chen.

"Little Snow, give him a hard one!"

Long Chen let out a cold snort. Before, he had reduced the attack force to master the frequency, but now seeing Qi Xin rushing over, he directly had Little Snow reveal its ultimate move.

Little Snow let out an angry roar, its fur standing on end. A terrifying Aura erupted, and as it opened its big mouth, a round sphere flew out, heading straight for Qi Xin.
