Volume 2 Chapter 111
111. Convinced
A request that could cost me my life?
Xia Yi was somewhat curious.
What could it be?
“Speak, Chen Tie.”
Chen Tie’s expression was solemn. “Fight me in the way of dragons.”
“A battle?”
“Yes. No matter what method you try to persuade me with, deep down, I can’t fully accept it. However, to gain my trust, it’s also very simple. Just show sufficient strength.”
Chen Tie glanced at Sera.
“Without the help of others, just you and me, a true battle. Prove that you have the qualifications to change everything, otherwise, I will only think you’re all talk!”
“Oh, that’s fine too.”
Xia Yi agreed.
Actually, this was quite in line with the dragons’ way of thinking, the supremacy of strength.
“Don’t agree so easily. This isn’t a game. Our battle won’t allow anyone else to interfere. Anything can happen, including losing your life!” Chen Tie warned.
“Of course I’m serious, Chen Tie. I appreciate your straightforwardness, that’s why I agreed so readily,” Xia Yi retorted. “Or are you going to let me down?”
“As long as you’re aware, that’s good. What should I call you?”
“Mu Guang.”
“Understood, Mu Guang, follow me.”
Chen Tie took the lead and walked outside, signaling Xia Yi and Sera to follow.
Leaving the room, the Cangqing Gang members all saw their leader leading two enemies towards the training ground downstairs, greatly surprised.
After arriving at the training ground, Chen Tie and Xia Yi faced off, while Sera voluntarily stepped to the side, standing outside the red line… acting as a spectator like the other Cangqing Gang members to watch the battle.
“What are the boss and that silver-haired dragon going to do?”
“This is a duel, right?”
“Are they serious?”
The Cangqing Gang members discussed spiritedly, many feeling confused, not understanding why the situation had turned out like this.
In fact, Chen Tie felt the same.
When he made this request earlier, his mind was in turmoil. He wanted more to intimidate Xia Yi and scare her away so he could calmly think things over.
But she agreed?
Without a shred of hesitation at that.
Most crucially, Sera didn’t do anything on the side, not even showing the slightest intention to interfere.
This made Chen Tie very dissatisfied.
Yes, he couldn’t beat Sera. She was the sister of Yujin, the big sis he admired most. He had always been the loser from the past until now.
But that doesn’t mean you, a loli dragon, can also look down on me!!
Although he had heard from his subordinates that this Mu Guang indeed had some skills, Chen Tie didn’t believe she could also bully him.
“Won’t you explain to your subordinates?” Xia Yi asked.
“No need. They will see with their own eyes. We just need to prove it to them!” Chen Tie directly refused. “What weapon will you use?”
“Last time it was magic. This time… let’s use swordsmanship!” Xia Yi said.
Chen Tie, who already had a bit of a temper, was even more enraged by Xia Yi’s casual tone, as if she were choosing between vanilla or chocolate ice cream. It made him angrier.
This was a battle of life and death, not a game!!
Chen Tie couldn’t sense a shred of seriousness from the other party’s attitude.
One moment it’s magic, the next it’s swordsmanship. Do you really think you are some kind of dual-cultivation genius??
“Where’s your weapon?” Chen Tie asked.
“I don’t carry weapons when I go out. I usually just pick up whatever is handy and use it… Oh, that one’s not bad. I can use it as a sword!”
Xia Yi pointed to a corner as if she had found a treasure.
Chen Tie followed her gaze and nearly exploded with anger at the first glance.
It was actually a broom!!
Are you kidding me? Can that be used as a weapon? Is there no common sense anymore?
He began to doubt why he had taken the other party seriously, even wavering. Now thinking about it, it was utterly ridiculous!
But the Cangqing Gang’s leader still suppressed his anger and shouted at his subordinates, “Bring a sword!!”
“Yes, boss!”
The Cangqing Gang members went to find an iron sword and brought it to the training ground.
“How about this one?”
“Mm, I think they’re all about the same. But the broom seems more fun…”
“Since they’re all the same, then choose this one!!” Chen Tie forcefully decided for Xia Yi.
“Fine then.”
Xia Yi took the iron sword.
Chen Tie was about to go crazy with anger. He didn’t care anymore. He was determined to smash this nonsense-spouting white-haired loli flat later.
“Any rule requirements?” Xia Yi asked.
“There are only two points. Make me convinced and no one else is allowed to interfere. During the battle, you can go all-out. If you have the ability, you can even directly kill me,” Chen Tie threatened. “I’ll warn you one last time. It’s not too late to back out now, I won’t hold back during the fight.”
“Got it.”
Xia Yi raised her sword.
“Let’s begin, Chen Tie, boss of the Cangqing Gang.”
“Hah!”
Chen Tie released all his pent-up anger. His hair even stood on end from the rage. His body expanded and grew larger. He swung the chains on his body, smashing them into the floor, shaking the entire training ground. His aura was astonishing, scaring the Cangqing Gang members.
The chains flew up, wrapping around his arms like a meat grinder, smashing towards Xia Yi.
“Earth-Shattering!” Chen Tie shouted the ultimate move of his fighting technique.
Not just this young dragon, but even the cadres of the Cangqing Gang would be crushed into mincemeat.
But the petite Xia Yi didn’t retreat, instead, she took the initiative to meet the attack, swinging the iron sword in her hand, striking directly at the chains on Chen Tie’s arms, metal clashing violently against metal.
Xia Yi blocked the strike, her sword releasing a force that’s pressing Chen Tie back.
“What’s going on?!” Chen Tie couldn’t believe it.
At this moment, his perception of Xia Yi changed.
This was a terrifying opponent!!
Boom!
The sword qi released by Xia Yi broke Chen Tie’s chains, the silver sword light flashed like a shooting star, heading straight for his heart.
Chen Tie hurriedly blocked, crossing his arms in front of him.
With a crisp sound, he successfully blocked the sword slash.
“I almost lost—”
Before Chen Tie could finish, three sword qi attacked from different directions simultaneously.
He was unable to defend.
“Four Instantaneous Slashes.”
Xia Yi’s three consecutive fierce sword qi almost simultaneously struck Chen Tie, shattering the chains on his arms, breaking through his dragon scales, and leaving bloody gashes as he was sent flying.
“Ugh!”
Chen Tie endured the pain. When he wanted to get up, he found that the tip of Xia Yi’s sword was already suspended in front of him.
“It’s over.” Xia Yi said.
Chen Tie looked at Xia Yi in disbelief.
In the fight just now, she had shown mercy, if she really wanted to take his life, the places she struck would have been fatal, at least half a life gone…
He didn’t even see her full strength.
His resentment vanished.
“Princess, your performance was truly perfect.”
Sera, who was watching from the side, was happy for Xia Yi in her heart. But when she looked around, she discovered that the situation was starting to take a wrong turn.
