Chapter 164 - Childs Play
Chapter 164 – Child’s Play
The two villages competed for Village Head s and finally chose to fight for the right to be handsome.
On the side, Shi Jiutong, Shi Nansheng and the two other cultivators from the Earth Stone Village immediately walked out. Other than Shi Jiutong, who had just stepped into the third level of martial arts realm, the other three people all had second level martial arts realm.
On the Tuqiu Village’s side, when the news that Xu Sanniang was injured and unable to participate in the battle was released, the thousands of villagers who came out of the village immediately became silent. Even though the number of people fighting had been reduced to four, looking at the two unfamiliar cultivators with the second stage of martial arts realm that had just appeared on the side of the village, then looking at their own side, how could they compare to Han Xiumei?
“That’s not fair. Who are those two people? I’ve never seen them before!” Yang Zhenbiao shouted from the crowd.
“Right, this is not fair. Since when has there been two second stage martial arts realm cultivators in the Earth Stone Village? You are cheating! The county magistrate’s envoys ask for justice!” The people of Tuqiu Village quickly followed and shouted loudly.
“So noisy!”
Xiong Qinzhong suddenly bellowed, and a ball of clear Qi suddenly appeared above his head before dissipating. The villagers were immediately stunned by the loud shout, and even Song Wei, who was at the side, was shocked to the point that his eyelids twitched.
“Since it’s a competition for power, these four people from Stone Village have their own records, and you don’t know who the enemy is, who will be the one to blame? Could it be that you are not among those who just shouted ‘Fighting for Commander’? ”
Xiong Zizhong’s words, along with the sudden burst of might he displayed before, actually silenced the villagers. After that, Xiong Zizhong suddenly revealed a smile and spoke to Song Wei beside him: “Mr. Song, do you think that what this old man said is true?”
Song Wei’s eyes flashed with an undetectable sternness, but his expression revealed a slight smile: “Butler Xiong, you’re right.”
While things were turning around, Yang Tiangang, who was supposed to have some expectations for him, suddenly fell into a disadvantageous position. The entire Tuqiu Village was unavoidably somewhat dejected, and other than a small portion of the people who supported Shi Jiutong, the rest of the villagers’ faces were uncertain, as if they were thinking about something.
Xu Sanniang let out a cold breath, and just as she was about to bring her injuries into the battle, she saw that Xu Erchen had already flashed in front of him, “Hehe, a smile, with a strange expression on her face, and said:” Third sister, let me do it! ”
Xu Sanniang was a little doubtful: “Second Brother, you can … You have just advanced into the martial arts realm not too long ago … ”
Xu Erchen pretended to be angry and said: “What, are you looking down on your second brother? Even if I have just leveled up in martial arts realm, it’s still better than having your wounds injured while you fight. What if your injuries get worse during a magic battle? Taking a step back, even if this battle were to be lost, as long as you are still alive, and even if Shi Jiutong is the Village Head, our Xu family would not be harmed, right? ”
Xu Sanniang hesitated for a moment, then said: “Then, fine, Second Brother be careful.”
Xu Erchen laughed again and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t be that foolish. I’ll be Yang Tiangang’s cannon fodder!”
Xu Sanniang’s expression changed, she wanted to say something, but Xu Erchen had already turned and left, looking at his back. Her lips moved as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not.
Seeing Xu Erchen who was walking over, Yang Tiangang faintly frowned. Blacksmith Zhang who was by the side had already opened his mouth: “How come it’s you, could it be that the Patriarch of the Xu Family does not even have the strength to fight?”
Xu Erchen snorted and said: “Third sister is severely injured, the Xu family being able to send me is already the utmost of kindness.
“You …”
Blacksmith Zhang’s pair of eyes was about to flare up, but was stopped by Yang Tiangang, and said: “Brother Zhang, don’t be impatient.”
With that, he turned to Xu Erchen and said: “Since you volunteered, how about we leave the first battle to you?”
Xu Erchen was startled, he had originally wanted to fight in the second or third round, as the results would be even greater. Unexpectedly, Yang Tiangang had already sent him out in the first round, but this was something he did not expect.
“Then, alright!” Xu Erchen was somewhat reluctant this time.
“Earth Stone Village’s Number Two asks for advice from Tuqiu Village!”
When he saw that the Tuqiu Village had finally gathered all four Martial Realm Cultivator s, he took a look and saw that there were two of them who were merely at the first level of martial arts realm. Then, he impatiently went forward to challenge them.
Unlike Xiong Er who was full of aggressiveness, Xu Erchen was a little unsettled when he entered the stage. Even though he had advanced into the martial arts realm, in just a short span of two months, even Xu Sanniang himself wanted to take a first glance at him, but that was because she knew that Xu Sanniang did not dare to do anything to him. Right now, he was really going against a Martial Realm Cultivator, and moreover, a second stage higher than him, so even though Xu Erchen was already prepared, it was difficult to hide the nervousness in his heart.
“This guy is a coward, he’s simply disgracing himself!”
When Blacksmith Zhang saw Xu Erchen’s cowardly look, he immediately said fiercely below: “Let me fight in the second round, I don’t know how far I can go, but at least this guy in front of me is not my opponent.”
Yang Tiangang looked at the two who were about to make a move, and said: “If that’s the case, then I’ll be troubling Brother Zhang.”
The Blacksmith Zhang snorted and said: “I don’t care, it will be hard for my sister-in-law to take on this. At that time, I’m afraid you will have to facevolving battle between two people!”
When Blacksmith Zhang just finished speaking, he heard everyone who was watching the battle exclaim in shock, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Erchen dodging around the stage like a stray dog, but he did not even manage to receive a simple technique from Xiong Er, and was even more afraid to connect the two of them together, directly dodging around the stage, looking extremely pathetic.
“He basically thinks of himself as a cultivator of Mortal Realm, without even the courage to face the Martial Realm Cultivator face-to-face.” Blacksmith Zhang sneered.
However, Yang Tiangang said, “That might not be the case!”
Blacksmith Zhang was startled, he did not know what Yang Tiangang’s words meant, but he heard Xu Erchen shouting: “Admit defeat, I admit defeat, don’t fight anymore!”
The entire Tuqiu Village was in an uproar, the people from the Stone Village also looked at each other, only to see that Xiong Er had stopped, and said complacently: “Quickly scram, who’s next?”
Xu Erchen returned to the Xu family with his hair in a mess, but when he saw the people of the Xu family, he could not help but look away. It was as if they did not want to see him at all, as if they did not want to be with him.
“Second Brother, you, what did you do up there?” Xu Sanniang regretted that she had failed.
Unexpectedly, Xu Erchen actually called out first, “Third sister, I’m doing this all for your own good, you can’t help but appreciate the kindness!”
Xu Sanniang fiercely turned her face away and said: “I would rather be seriously injured by someone!”
That Xiong Er was still triumphantly standing on the field. He did not expect such a coward to appear on the mound and give him a free victory. Furthermore, the previous battle did not cause much damage to him, so he could take on another hard battle.
Thinking about the promise Shi Jiutong had made for the two brothers in front of Master Xiong San, once he helped him obtain the position of Village Head, the last thirty percent of the Ling Tian in the village would be given to the two of them. This was no longer like how they were the tenants of Xiong Family in the past, but their own properties.
The had already walked into the arena, and the aura around his body started to increase with each step he took. Xiong Er, who was originally showing a look of contempt on his face, was immediately shocked, the person in front of him was obviously not someone that the cowardly weaklings like before could compare to, and the spirit energy in his body was circulating rapidly, making him look like a ferocious bear that was about to attack.
However, Blacksmith Zhang did not care about the opponent in front of him, the Spirit Qi around his body became even more berserk, and at the moment it reached its peak, an iron hammer suddenly appeared in his hand. After that, he threw it at Xiong Er, who was already flying in the air, gathering his Spirit Qi and turning it intuge hammer shadow and smashing towards Xiong Er.
“Middle tier magic tool!”
The two brothers were originally rogue cultivators, and because of some fortuitous encounters and aptitudes, they were luckily promoted to martial arts realm and then accepted into the Xiong Family as disciples. After all these years of hard work, with the help of the two brothers and the help of the power of the Xiong Family, they finally advanced to the second level of martial arts realm. It was not easy to obtain a low-grade magic tool, but the magic tool was on his big brother.
Seeing the hammer coming at him, how could Xiong Er still resist? He quickly circulated the spirit energy in his body. The turbid Qi in his dantian roiled and condensed into a black wind under his feet, dodging the attack of the magical equipment in the blink of an eye.
“Boom!” A three meter deep crater was created where Liu Ming had been standing. The crater was ten feet in radius and it had been affected by the explosion, causing huge cracks to appear on its surface.
With one move, Blacksmith Zhang gained the upper hand. That Xiong Er tried his best to attack, trying to offset the huge advantage his opponent’s magic tool brought, however, Blacksmith Zhang’s strength had already far surpassed his. Even if he did not use his magic tool, Xiong Er still would not be his match.
Unfortunately, his brothers were both born rogue cultivators and had not learned any spirit techniques before, otherwise, they wouldn’t need to be so fearful of their opponents’s magic tools. However, thinking about how the two villages would have to have dozens of acres of Ling Tian, and how 30% of the Ling Tian would have to have at least a dozen or twenty acres of it, when that time came, even if his brother built his own family, it would not be difficult for him to fight for it.
He had to delay it as long as possible!
However, Xiong Er was not someone that Xu Erchen could compare to, even though he was at a disadvantage, he did not forget to look for every possible opportunity to strike back. Even if he could not find an opportunity, he would do his best to delay the consumption of the Blacksmith Zhang’s spirit essence and create an advantage for his big brother.
