50. Chapter 50: Risking Your Life
Chapter 50: Risking one's life
"Afraid? You misunderstood. What I want to say is that I am only a five-star martial artist, while you have already reached the level of a one-star general. This battle is a little unfair to me!" Chen Xiao said lightly.
"Unfair? Hahaha, isn't this battlefield a challenge to me? Saying it's unfair now? Don't you think it's too late? Do you think you can challenge the dignity of the Qingling Sect whenever you want? Today, you have to fight or not!" Murong Xinghua showed a cruel smile.
And those people below also thought that Chen Xiao was afraid after hearing these words, but, after just saying that he was afraid, is it useful?
"I mean, I want to add some stakes to this battle!" Chen Xiao's voice still seemed calm, and he didn't seem to be worried or nervous because of the other party's words.
"Bet?" Murong Xinghua was stunned, but still said: "What do you bet?"
"Bet 100,000 gold coins, plus my life! If I lose, I will compensate you with 100,000 gold coins, and I will let you punish me, but if you lose, no matter what happens later, your Qingling Sect will not come to trouble the Chen family. If you have the guts, take it!" When he said the last word, Chen Xiao's eyes were cold.
"Hmph, your life doesn't belong to you in the first place! But I still promise you!" Murong Xinghua's face flashed a cold look, but there are 100,000 gold coins to take, why not? He agreed without thinking.
As for failure? Murong Xinghua didn't think about it at all. In his opinion, he was a martial general, and he also mastered many martial arts. How could he lose to a five-star martial artist?
"Empty words are not enough, I need you to make a statement!"
After the voice fell, a wooden box suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xiao. The wooden box was opened, and it was full of golden coins, and there were also a lot of silver bills on it. It looked like at least 100,000!
Next to the wooden box, there is also a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which is obviously used for writing.
"Haha, the preparations are quite complete. The insulter is just you, Chen Xiao. My Qingling Sect will naturally not be so stingy as to pursue the troubles of your Chen family. Even if I agree to you, what's the harm?"
Murong Xinghua's face was bright with a smile, and these words were also very beautiful. At least many people below have begun to praise Qingling Sect for being righteous and so on.
The Chen family's faces were pale. They didn't know what Chen Xiao was thinking, but they knew how big the gap between the realm of military generals and martial artists was. Chen Xiao went up and was clearly going to die!
In addition to the current bet, many members of the Chen family have already determined that Chen Xiao is using his life to exchange for a glimmer of hope for the Chen family. After all, if they offended Qingling Sect and could not resolve it, the Chen family might only have one way to perish.
But if there is this bet by Chen Xiao, no matter whether Chen Xiao wins or loses this battle, Qingling Sect will be embarrassed to pull down its face to deal with the Chen family again.
However, in this way, Chen Xiao is standing at the forefront!
Chen Ning, Chen Han, Qing Xuan and others, at this moment, clenched their fists tightly, especially Qing Xuan, whose facial expressions kept changing, and no one knew what he was thinking.
However, Chen Xiao had no time to care about those people below, because Murong Xinghua on the other side had already written the bet and signed it personally, and Chen Xiao smiled and put the paper away.
"Now, can we start?" Murong Xinghua's eyes were a little angry, how could he not know what Chen Xiao was thinking?
But there was nothing wrong with what Chen Xiao said, he couldn't refuse at all, could he say I refused? Then Qingling Sect really lowered its status to retaliate against a small and insignificant family? Can it afford to lose face?
Even if it really wanted to retaliate, it would be done secretly, and it would never be said openly, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Of course, it's OK. It's already been signed, and there are more than 100,000 witnesses. I believe that you Qingling Sect won't do such shameless things openly!" Chen Xiao nodded slightly, but he put away the weapon in his hand again.
"Your weapon?"
Murong Xinghua didn't want to take advantage of Chen Xiao. Seeing that Chen Xiao actually put away his weapon, he was naturally a little unhappy. In this way, even if he beat Chen Xiao, in the eyes of others, it might be that he won unfairly.
"I don't plan to use weapons in this battle!" Chen Xiao's voice was crisp!
"You!"
Murong Xinghua's face changed. Chen Xiao's words seemed ordinary, but they were a slap in his face. Obviously, his cultivation was lower than his, but he was still pretending, and dared not to use weapons!
"Okay, then I will make you admit your defeat!"
I don't know what Murong Xinghua thought of, but he actually put the weapon in his hand directly into the storage ring.
"Uh... are you sure?"
Chen Xiao was a little confused. The reason why he didn't use weapons was not because he was arrogant, but because he wanted to test his own ideas. However, the guy on the opposite side didn't use weapons either. This must be said to be a big surprise!
"Too much nonsense, let's do it!"
Murong Xinghua growled, clenched his fist suddenly, and punched Chen Xiao in the face.
Seeing the eldest brother take action, the two inner disciples of Qingling Sect who had returned to their original positions flashed a sneer on their faces, as if they had seen Chen Xiao's tragic end.
After all, this senior brother is much stronger than them. Even if he kills them instantly, there is no problem. More importantly, in the Qingling Sect, there is a set of exercises specifically for practicing body skills and strengthening physical strength. They know that this senior brother has practiced it, and both speed and strength are a little better than those of the same level!
If Chen Xiao relied on his previous superb swordsmanship, he might still have a chance of survival.
But now Chen Xiao actually abandoned his superb swordsmanship and chose physical close combat. In their opinion, this is simply courting death.
On the ring, Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, especially after seeing Murong Xinghua's fist, the expression on his face finally became solemn.
With his eyesight, how could he not see the power contained in this punch? If it were an ordinary martial artist, he would really be killed by this punch.
Unfortunately, Chen Xiao had practiced many higher-level body movements, and he could see the flaw in this fist attack instantly. The arm, which was not very strong, suddenly stretched forward at this moment, and it seemed that he was going to grab the punch by force.
This also made Murong Xinghua's face flash with a cruel smile.
Although he focused on practicing swordsmanship, he actually did not neglect body movements and the method of tempering the body. Now his physical strength has already exceeded ten thousand pounds. No matter how you look at it, Chen Xiao only has six or seven thousand pounds of strength. If the two collided with each other, it is almost possible to predict Chen Xiao's fate.
