Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Shangguan Zhenxiong's gaze was provocative, looking down from above, that disdainful and dismissive look carried a deep sense of mockery.

Qin Tian stared at him, understanding the meaning behind Shangguan Zhenxiong's words.

This guy is merely relying on his unbeatable skills, trying to provoke Qin Tian into a one-on-one duel!

"Hmph, Shangguan Old Thief, my apprentice, Zhang Runhao, is in your hands, isn't he? Now that I'm here today, do you dare to do it but not admit it?" Qin Tian started to worry about Zhang Runhao.

"Hahaha, what do I have to deny? That kid is indeed here with me. But, do you want to take him back? On what grounds?"

Shangguan Zhenxiong laughed contemptuously, "We have a grudge, you want to take your apprentice back, you have to leave something behind at least, right?"

Qin Tian naturally knew that Shangguan Zhenxiong wouldn't let go of Zhang Runhao easily. Now, being here and stalling was merely to buy time for Lin Yu and the others, hoping they could find Zhang Runhao and take him away before things turned ugly between him and Shangguan Zhenxiong.

"Hmph, what do you want to leave behind?"

Qin Tian retorted.

"Leave your life!"

Shangguan Zhenxiong smirked, "Exchange your life for your apprentice's. As long as you hand over your life, I won't make it difficult for your apprentice."

"Boss, this guy, is he a lunatic or something?"

Right after Shangguan Zhenxiong finished speaking, Zhou Yang next to Qin Tian immediately laughed, with a similarly mocking tone, "Is he senile, haha, asking for lives..."

Qin Tian squinted his eyes slightly, stared at Shangguan Zhenxiong, without speaking.

Shangguan Zhenxiong also stared at Qin Tian: "I am offering you the chance to hand over your life willingly, as a chance for redemption. Hmph, now in my Shangguan Family, Qin Tian, you have a choice, won't you give up your life? Now that you're here, you still want to get out alive today?"

"I really do want to get out alive. Otherwise, do you think we're here to die?"

Qin Tian stood in front of Shangguan Zhenxiong, both men exchanged sinister killing intent in their eyes.

The atmosphere in the living room instantly froze.

"Very well, you got guts!"

Shangguan Zhenxiong's cheek twitched, and said: "I heard you have reached a certain level in Qigong cultivation. Hehe, last time we fought, I didn't manage to wound you, what a pity. Today, kid, here, I give you a chance, fight with me."

"Oh? Give me a chance?"

"Of course, it's a chance for you. If you don't fight me, you and your brothers, and your apprentice, today, will all have to die here. But if you fight me, and there's a chance that you beat me, I may consider just taking your life but letting all the others go. Hmph, isn't it a chance?"

Shangguan Zhenxiong's tone revealed immense confidence, his head swayed left and right as he finished speaking, his neck emitted a creaking sound.

"Well, what are you going to do?"

Shangguan Zhenxiong raised his voice, provocatively staring at Qin Tian.

"Shangguan Old Thief, do you think your schemes..."

Zhou Yang was about to step forward to shield Qin Tian, but Qin Tian gestured him to stop talking.

Zhou Yang was stunned, seeming to see Qin Tian about to make an unexpected decision, feeling a thud in his heart, thinking, is the boss really going to duel with Shangguan Old Thief? He knows he can't beat him, this duel at Shangguan Family's place would be falling right into Shangguan Zhenxiong's trap…

"Old Thief, I know you've always schemed to get me to duel with you, thinking I'm a pushover, right? Good, good! Today, I agree to your duel!"

Qin Tian stepped forward and said: "If I defeat you, the Shangguan Family must hand over my apprentice unharmed today!"

"Alright, deal. If you can beat me, hahaha, name your terms!"

Shangguan Zhenxiong, achieving his aim, chuckled and sniffed.

The people in the living room headed directly to the Shangguan Family garden plaza outside.

On the way, Zhou Yang tugged Qin Tian's clothes: "Boss, are you really going to duel Shangguan Zhenxiong? Not to mention who's stronger, now we're at Shangguan Zhenxiong's manor, no matter the outcome, we're unlikely to emerge as winners…"

Qin Tian nodded solemnly: "I know."

After speaking, he lowered his voice: "When I start fighting Shangguan Zhenxiong later, you must keep an eye on the surroundings, especially watch for Lin Yu and their situation connecting with us. Today's primary task is to rescue Zhang Runhao, so be keen."

"Mm." Zhou Yang nodded quietly.

"Come on, kid, let me see what you're made of."

At this moment, everyone arrived at the empty space of the garden plaza, Shangguan Zhenxiong had one hand behind his back and beckoned Qin Tian with the other, contemptuously indicating Qin Tian to show whatever skills he had.

"Third Brother, you're a senior, you should go easy on him."

At this moment, Shangguan Zhenbang who loves the spectacle chimed in.

"To discipline a young brat who doesn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, who's unreasonable, not killing him would be the greatest grace."

Shangguan Zhenxiong said disdainfully.

After speaking, his right hand stretched toward Qin Tian again, unexpectedly showing his middle finger, contemptuously provoking Qin Tian aggressively!

"Old codger, so full of himself!"

Qin Tian had long known Shangguan Zhenxiong's aim was to infuriate Qin Tian for a duel, then crush him with force and humiliate him after.

To achieve this, that old fellow even pointed his middle finger and used the deceased Murong Bei as leverage, too despicable!

In response, Qin Tian frowned, which he could tolerate but couldn't let pass!

He suddenly leaned his body forward, then darted at Shangguan Zhenxiong like lightning, his right fist carried a fierce gale, smashing toward Shangguan Zhenxiong furiously!

Qin Tian was already at flash-like speed, making Zhou Yang and Shangguan Zhenbang stunned.

However, facing this lightning-fast attack that seemed almost a sneak, Shangguan Zhenxiong remained motionless, only when Qin Tian rushed close did Shangguan Zhenxiong suddenly extend his hands, striking back against Qin Tian's fist with a furious series of palms!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

As fist met palm, both released a wave of True Qi Storm, instantly emitting an inexplicable energy fluctuation in the air!

This was just a probing exchange; Qin Tian didn't know how much strength Shangguan Zhenxiong exerted but he used seventy percent of his power.

Even so, Qin Tian felt a wave of pressure—

Despite Shangguan Zhenxiong's late move, he retaliated with force, giving Qin Tian a sense of being overpowered!

"This old guy is indeed strong!"

After landing, Qin Tian coldly stared at the still unmoving Shangguan Zhenxiong, shocked in his heart, "Shangguan Zhenxiong comes from the Spiritual Cloud Sect, what exactly is the origin of this Spiritual Cloud Sect!?"
