YM778.TV Chapter 429: 429: Battle of Wits, Best of Three!
“It’s him!!!!!!” Chen Zihuan screamed, his eyes wide, “It’s really him! It’s Huang Xiaolong!”
“Yes, it’s Huang Xiaolong.” The muscle at the corner of Chen Xiong’s eye twitched incessantly.
What followed was the scene of Huang Xiaolong instantly killing Wei Feiyang with a single punch, turning him into a meatloaf.
Bam~~!!!!!!
The sound of this punch shocked the minds of Chen Xiong, Chen Zihuan, Master Qiao, and others. It was as if the punch was landing directly on them.
“He’s very powerful.” Master Qiao nodded. “This young man’s skills are truly extraordinary.”
“Heh heh heh~~heh heh heh~~~” Chen Zihuan’s throat made a noise similar to an owl’s hoot. “Who would have thought that this little bastard would be this mighty…”
Chen Zihuan felt a bit scared as he recalled how he had insulted Huang Xiaolong several times at the Shu family villa in Binhai. Fortunately, Huang Xiaolong had not lost his temper; otherwise, a punch like that would have surely killed him before he could react.
“No wonder he was able to silently kill the three assassins we sent to Binhai.” Chen Xiong’s face muscles twitched.
“Dad, we can’t let this guy live! He’s a ticking time bomb! Once we get the ancient medicinal secret recipe, we have to find a way to kill him!” Chen Zihuan grinned maliciously. “He may be good at fighting, but bring in more gunmen, I don’t believe he can’t be killed.”
“Martial arts is just for fitness and performance. In today’s society, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, they are still no match for guns.” Master Qiao sneered disdainfully, evidently looking down upon traditional martial arts.
“Alright, the Wei Family Head is also in Jiangnan City now. Send this video to him.” A cunning look flashed in Chen Xiong’s eyes. “Let the Wei family test the waters with Huang Xiaolong first.”
Next, the projection screen started playing a part of the surveillance footage from the Carnival Hotel.
The footage of Huang Xiaolong outside the hotel and severely wounding the purple-robed ghost Fangfang were no longer available. However, based on the currently available surveillance footage, it was clear that the person who had broken the Nine Infant Wicked Array that night was indeed Huang Xiaolong!
“The same person? It’s actually the same person?” Master Qiao, Master Zhao, and Master Zuo all cried out in surprise in unison.
The person who killed Wei Feiyang, broke the Nine Infant Wicked Array, and severely wounded Fangfang was the same person!
Huang Xiaolong!!!!!!
“Damn it! This guy!” The expressions on Chen Xiong and Chen Zihuan’s faces were of shock.
“Dear Masters, it appears… this Huang Xiaolong is not ordinary at all!” even Chen Xiong was somewhat panicked now. With his strength, he might find it hard to rival Huang Xiaolong.
Moreover, Huang Xiaolong was now the master of Old Master Jin and had good relations with Miss Ying Aoshan of the Ying family.
With the right timing, location, and the backing of people, Huang Xiaolong had it all.
Even the Chen family, who were the top dogs in Jiangnan City, now seemed somewhat restrained.
Chen Xiong could only resort to playing one off against another.
With the help of the Wei family and Masters Qiao, Zhao, and Zuo, he would bring Huang Xiaolong down!
“Dear Masters, what do we do now?” Chen Xiong asked nervously.
Masters Qiao, Zuo, and Zhao exchanged a glance, and in each other’s eyes, they saw a strong sense of wariness.
“Left Junior Brother, you are always full of strategies, what do you think we should do about this little Daoist? If we resort to tricks, it won’t be easy to deal with him given his strong fighting abilities.” Master Qiao felt challenged.
The goatee-bearded Master Zuo narrowed his eyes, pondering a cunning plan. After nearly half a minute, he said, “Playing dirty is not reliable. Let’s deal with this openly!”
“Openly? How?” Master Zhao asked curiously.
Master Zuo bobbed his head, a smug expression on his face. “Challenge him to a magic duel. Send him a direct invitation to duel. The three of us brothers can each take turns to fight him. Since it’s a magic duel, we can’t use traditional martial arts or violence; it’s all about magic.”
“Oh? How do we carry out this magic duel?” Master Qiao was filled with doubt. “This guy’s magic is also very formidable. Not to be underestimated.”
“Hahaha~~~” Master Zuo roared with laughter. “We each have our own great tricks. Right, Big Brother Qiao, you’re very good with nurturing ghosts and invoking souls, right?”
“Er… yes, each of us three brothers has our strengths.” Master Qiao nodded.
“Senior Brother Zhao is excellent at slaying ghosts and exterminating evil.” Master Zuo’s expression became even more contented, evidently confident in his plan. “And I, though lacking in other areas, am good at identifying and consecrating magic artifacts.”
“So, let’s have three rounds of magic showdown with this little Daoist. The first round is consecration! The second round is ghost slaying! The third round is soul invocation! Best of three rounds! The three of us can each take turns to take on the little Daoist. Let’s see if he can win all three rounds!”
“Good! This ‘best of three rounds’ idea is excellent! We can play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses!” Master Qiao slapped the table. “But we have to be prepared for the eventuality that the little Daoist may not accept.”
“No worries, we’ll send him a challenge and provoke him. He is young and hot-headed, likely unable to resist a taunt.” Master Zuo’s eyes narrowed into a deceitful smile. “Since it’s a magic showdown, there should be some stakes. Once we win, we’ll have him surrender his treasures and acknowledge us as his masters. This way, we can control him and make him serve us!”
“Hahaha~~~” Both Master Zhao and Master Qiao broke into wild laughter.
“Ha ha~ Good! Good! I’ll handle issuing the challenge!” A bright smile appeared on Chen Xiong’s face. “And, once that little bastard Huang Xiaolong loses, he must hand over the recipe for the ancient medicine!”
“Boss Chen, time is of the essence. You need to get on this right away. It’s best to act immediately, we need to get the little Daoist to agree to the magic showdown before the Wei family makes their move. He must have treasures on him and we must get them! Plus, if we can make him our disciple and have him serve us, it will be greatly advantageous. We will gain an additional fighter, and this guy is quite good in a fight.” Master Qiao bobbed his head. “We should set the time for the showdown for tomorrow night. Also, invite the wealthy bosses and celebrities in Jiangnan City who believe in ghosts and spirits to watch the showdown. This can deter these wealthy people and make them willing to spend money to worship us three brothers, allowing us to gain both fame and fortune. This can be considered as killing two birds with one stone!”
“Great! Great! Dear Masters, I’ll take care of this right away! It will be easy to find out which hotel the people from the Sun family are staying at!” Chen Xiong stood up in a rush.
Suddenly, Master Qiao glanced at Chen Zihuan and furrowed his brows. “Young Master Chen, I see a green string tangled around your Palace of Illness star. It seems that you’ve recently encountered some health problems. You should go to the hospital for a check-up when you can.”
