"After all, you just want to fight? Sure. I just happen to like something from your sect..."
Chu Tianxiao looked at Lei Bai and continued, "I heard that Liuyue Sword Sect has a top-grade human-level Moon Essence Spirit, so why don't we... take this as a bet and have a duel! How do you think?"
After hearing this, Lei Bai was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted angrily: "Don't even think about it!"
The so-called Moon Essence is actually similar to the Thunder Spirit, and is also a foreign object in the world. However, compared to Thunder Fire, this thing cannot be integrated into the body and then summoned to fight the enemy. It can only be swallowed and absorbed, dissipated in the body, and turned into drops of moonlight to enhance the power of the practitioner's Moon-related Taoism, swordsmanship, and knife skills. The higher the grade of the Moon Essence, the greater the degree of power it can enhance. Of course, there is a saturation limit. In addition, you can also carry it with you to help you comprehend.
It is said that the top-grade Moon Essence has all kinds of magical effects, but that is just a legend. No one in the vast land of China has seen a heavenly-grade Moon Essence for many years... A human-grade top-quality Moon Essence is already a rare existence. For example, if Chu Tianxiao obtains it, the power of his Queyue Jitian Sword can be increased by at least 20%!
This kind of thing is useless to those who are not cultivators of the Moon Element. Moreover, it can only be preserved after nightfall in places with abundant moonlight. The Liuyue Sword Sect is located in a good place, so it is a large concentration of Moon Essence. However, with the full efforts of the fourth-grade sect, the highest grade of Moon Essence it has so far is only the middle grade of the Earth Grade, which is owned by the current sect master... And even for them, it would be very painful to take out a human-grade Moon Essence, so Lei Bai subconsciously chose to refuse: "Wishful thinking!"
"Your Queyue Jitian Sword Manual originally belongs to my Liuyue Sword Sect. How can you be qualified to challenge me to a duel with it?"
Chu Tianxiao smiled coldly: "Is that so? This is the Chu family, and the things are in my hands. I have proposed a duel with you, which is already giving your Liuyue Sword Sect some face. Don't you want to give me face?"
Hearing this, Lei Bai clenched his fists loudly. Wang Qian behind him was more stable. Seeing this, he slowly shook his head, indicating that at this moment, it would be no good to make a big fuss. It would be better to win the fight and be done with it...
After all, if it was the complete Queyue Jitian Sword Manual, its value would be comparable to the Earth-grade Moon Yuan Essence, so it would not be a loss in this battle.
"Mr. Chu, what you said makes sense. Since both sides are arguing endlessly, let's use martial arts to decide, each relying on their own abilities! However... Liuyue Sword Sect is determined to obtain this item. If Mr. Chu insists on fighting, then we have no choice but to fight in a round-robin battle... Hehe, speaking of this, Mr. Chu fought a hundred rounds in a row in Xionghuang Mountains. He should be the one who is least afraid of a round-robin battle, right?"
Chu Tianxiao's record had already been reported to Kyoto, but this group of top talents were not ordinary people. They were well-informed and quickly analyzed the details and concluded that Chu Tianxiao could fight a hundred games. He either used some secret method or was in a special state. In short, it was not something that could be done twice or three times... Therefore, their focus was only on defeating Luo Bingqing...
At that moment, Lei Bai was a young master with great talent, and his level was on par with the top talents in Kyoto. Wang Qian was able to follow him, so he was obviously not a small figure either. Naturally, he knew about this matter and immediately provoked him with words.
Chu Tianxiao smiled faintly: "Okay, but in this case, you won't have enough bargaining chips."
"...Mr. Chu means..."
Chu Tianxiao said: "In the duel, if any one of you three beats me, I lose, and I will offer you the Queyue Sword and Queyue Jitian Sword Manual. But if all three of you lose to me, then..."
Chu Tianxiao paused, and continued: "In addition to a human-grade upper-grade Moon Essence that I will give you immediately, I also want a piece of information, and I want to ask it with the Heart-Searching Crane."
After saying this, Wang Qian frowned slightly: "What news?"
"Hehe... This is information that your noble clan can answer, and it is not too confidential. I also promise that I will never spread it to anyone."
Hearing this, Wang Qian still didn't understand, but Yun Qihe couldn't hold back any longer: "Brother! Agree to it. We can't lose anyway!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he impatiently transmitted his true energy, his expression full of excitement.
“Brother! You also know that the ‘Battle and Breaking Heaven Map’ and the ‘Bone of Lord Jie’ have been stolen by the thief Yan for so long, and they might have been buried with him in the mountains and forests. The elders of the sect now have less and less hope of recovering the secret treasures... And now, by chance, we have been informed by Brother Chuhe. With his support, we only need a proper reason to take away the Queyue Jitian Sword Manual without offending the Chu family! This is a godsend! If we accomplish this, we will become great contributors to our sect! In the future, when the sect succeeds in breaking through to the fifth rank, how glorious will we be? Not to mention, Brother Chuhe has already told us the details of this prodigal son, so there is no way we can lose!”
"Even if you and I might lose, the Young Master is still here! Yes, Chu Tianxiao defeated Luo Bingqing, but she is definitely not the Young Master's opponent! Not to mention that the Young Master has had a series of adventures recently, his skills have greatly increased, and Brother Chu He gave him..."
Yun Qihe became more and more excited as he spoke. Wang Qian shook his head secretly, thinking that he was not afraid of fighting, but Chu Tianxiao's additional condition was a little... strange, and it always gave him a bad feeling...
He couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at Lei Bai, and saw him hesitate for a moment, then hummed, "Okay! Let's do it!"
"Then please come to the martial arts arena." Chu Tianxiao waved his hand and showed them his back. He then spread his wings and disappeared without a trace.
"Hmm? The martial arts arena?" An elder of the Chu family was puzzled. "What does this prodigal want to do? Does he think he can win? So he went to the martial arts arena and didn't miss any chance to make a name for himself in the Chu family?"
"Humph... It's a good plan, but no matter how good the plan is, it must be matched with strength! Otherwise, it will be a joke!"
"This person took back the Young Master's Building as soon as he came back. Is he so proud that he got carried away?"
"Since he wants to make a fool of himself, then call the family members to watch together! It will be a good opportunity to let these young people see how this prodigal son is nothing compared to the young master!"
"Yes! It's time to remind them of the young master's heroic spirit of being undefeated in a hundred battles. The uncertainty in people's morale caused by yesterday's battle can be compensated by this battle."
The elders thought so and began to prepare. The three people from Liuyue Sword Sect also came to the martial arts arena under their leadership. It is worth mentioning that this group of elders were very polite to these people who were obviously here to "challenge" them, but they showed a cold attitude towards Chu Tianxiao, a real member of the Chu family, as if they were afraid that he would lose miserably later... From this point of view, Chu He still controls most of the power of the Chu family, and the disparity between the two still exists...
Soon, the young disciples of the Chu family, as well as some managers and elders, came to the martial arts arena. They saw green bamboos planted everywhere, jasper-colored, each as thick as a bowl. Among these green bamboos, there was a lake with rippling green water. In the center of the lake was an "island", which was smooth and round, like a natural arena. Several elders jumped up and stepped on the long-pole stone pillars exposed near the center of the lake, urging their true essence to cooperate with the formation to form a true essence shield with excellent defense and no loopholes.
At this time, Chu Tianxiao and Yun Qihe had already arrived at the "ring". Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience nodded slightly. Yun Qihe was obviously the weakest among the three, and he obviously came out to test Chu Tianxiao.
It seems that although this group of people from the Liuyue Sword Sect came with great force, they still kept a cool head...
Hearing the discussion from the audience, Yun Qihe sneered disdainfully: "A bunch of ignorant guys, do you think I'm just here to test you?"
"You will soon realize how stupid this idea is!"
He did not hide these two sentences, but said them out loud. Fortunately, his voice was not loud, and only Chu Tianxiao heard it...
"Come on! Let me show you my strength!"
With a thought, the Sumeru Ring in Yun Qihe's hand flashed with light, and a huge black sword was drawn into his palm. There was not a single carving on the sword, it was completely black and extremely heavy!
A treasure that can reach the lower realm of Tongxuan!
A powerful aura suddenly rushed out, deep and gloomy. Although the true essence shield would protect the outsiders, the aura was not included. It was not that these elders could not stop it, but they also wanted the younger generation to feel it more. Otherwise, just watching like this, feeling nothing, would not help much for progress.
Therefore, upon seeing this knife and this momentum, those who had just claimed that Yun Qihe was just testing them shut up. They then remembered that none of the three people who came to the door were weak, not to mention that Yun Qihe had reached the Tongxuan realm at the age of 23, which was also a good talent...
Chu Tianxiao was indifferent to this. The Sumeru Ring flashed with a sharp light, and the Queyue Sword was held in his palm, and he confronted him.
"Hah!" Yun Qihe shouted loudly, and then rushed over quickly. At the same time, a ray of black light appeared on the blade of the black knife in his hand, and then it turned into a black full moon in an instant. Under the shining of the black moon, the sword energy fell like black rain, and pierced Chu Tianxiao's face!
"Oh?" Upon seeing this "black moon" that looked like a lunar eclipse, Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, unfolded his feather escape technique, and with many phantoms, he easily avoided the black rain all over the sky.
"Hmph! Do you think you can block it like this?" Yun Qihe's sword didn't slow down, and he actually jumped up, quickly turning the blade in the air, dancing out a denser black 'moonlight' than before...
"It is rumored that Liuyue Sword Sect has collected many moon-related sword techniques... It seems that this is true. This Lunar Eclipse Sword is quite interesting..." Chu Tianxiao sighed, "What a pity, I am in a hurry, so..."
Before he could say this, Chu Tianxiao's figure suddenly disappeared. With a flash of shadow, he swept forward, and the moonlight sword energy slashed down like a streak of silk. Countless moon pillars fell from the sky!
“Huh! Queyue Heavenly Sword? It’s indeed Queyue Extreme Heavenly Sword Technique!” Yun Qihe was not in a hurry when he saw this. He had already learned about Chu Tianxiao’s background from Chu He. He immediately threw the black knife into the air and embedded it into the black moon. Then, the black moon shattered with a bang and turned into a black cloud that blocked the layers of moon pillars...
"Hmph! If the Moon Pillar cannot fall, the power of your Queyue Tiandao Sword will be greatly reduced. Now, it's my turn to fight back... eh?" Yun Qihe hadn't finished his words when he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing towards him. It was Chu Tianxiao who had approached him at some point, and his fist was so fierce and fast that Yun Qihe could hardly react!
But he... wasn't panicking at all.
“Haha, Chu Tianxiao, do you think I’m one of those pitiful Tongxuan realm masters who have never even undergone marrow cleansing? My physical body is… ah!—”
He didn't finish this thought, because the next moment, Chu Tianxiao's fist hit him hard in the chest, and the "strong **" that he was proud of was like paper in front of this punch, and it was directly dented, and a trace of blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth!
With a loud bang!
The clouds rose and the crane fell heavily to the ground, defeated! (To be continued.)
