Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms Novel - Chapter 661-670

Chapter 661: Penetrate The Skull With The Dagger

The lid was uncovered. It was as if Chen Xiaobei knew that there was a sharp dagger lying on the plate. Immediately, he threw the lid on the floor and picked up the dagger to slash the female assassin’s neck. The female assassin did not react fast enough to Chen Xiaobei’s smooth and unexpected attack.

*Phissh!*

The throat of the female assassin was slit open – the moment her blood gushed out from her neck, she was thinking about what Chen Xiaobei trying to tell her. Now, she finally understood it.

“You… How did you know that I have… a dagger with me?”

With both hands pressed on her throat, she collapsed to the ground with a look of shock and disbelief. She then died shortly after that.

*Bop!*

Chen Xiaobei then stabbed the dagger into the table and stared at the vase with decorative flowers that was placed in the corner of the room.

“So, this is the evil plan that the Zhuang Family came up to try to kill me? Using Ms. Lan to lure me here. I gotta admit that you got me on that part! But, don’t expect me to surrender easily! Just bring on whatever you have! I shall spend some time to fool around with you guys! Jianghu matters should be solved within Jianghu itself!”

After that, Chen Xiaobei went back to his seat but his stare never left the vase. In the other room, Lan Mengchen could finally let out a sigh of relief. Clearly, she was glad that Chen Xiaobei was safe. On the other hand, everyone else in the room was frustrated. None of them expected Chen Xiaobei to kill a trained assassin in cold blood within seconds!

“How did that kid knows that there was something odd about the waitress?! Not even I could tell that the waitress was an assassin in disguise!”

Puzzled, Zhuang Jiuxiao frowned.

“Not only did he discover there was something odd about the waitress, he also found the hidden camera in the room! This hidden camera that I installed in the room is the most advanced spy tool! I am certain that there is a flaw in the installation! Unless…”

“Unless what?”

With his eyes wide open, Zhuang Jiuxiao wanted to know the answer badly.

“Unless that kid has a pair of x-ray eyes!” said Zhuang Hao.

“What? X-ray eyes? How is that even possible?”

“I’m serious! Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D’s database in the US, all the information about mutants can be found there! X-ray eyes is one of the mutant abilities! According to statistics, there would be one mutant among three billion people!”

“Oh my god! So, this is real?! That kid is a mutant? In that case, does that mean Spiderman, Hulk, and X-Men exist on this earth that we live in?”

Upon hearing that, Lan Mengchen was equally astonished as well. She always knew that Chen Xiaobei was someone extraordinary but she could never guess the number of secrets that Chen Xiaobei had with him! He was like a mystery – one could never figure him out completely.

“The mutants that you mentioned do exist! However, they are not like the one in the movie! In America, they formed an army of mutants! They are powerful enough to compare with our Thunder Kirin Special Forces!”

“Shut up! What a load of bullcrap! I don’t care whether that kid possesses a pair of x-ray eyes! I just want to know his true strength! No matter what, I want him to be killed today! If not, I’m going to be humiliated by this failure! So would our family!”

She was infamous for her extensive thoughtful evil plans – like a fox. Hence, she saw her past failure as a huge embarrassment! This time, if she failed again, her face was going to be slapped till her jaw drops! A few seconds ago, she did not have to worry about this problem at all. Now, she finally witnessed Chen Xiaobei’s calmness and witty mind with her eyes. Not only he found out that the waitress was an assassin but also did not make the mistake most men would make! When facing a beauty, he did not even hesitate to kill her! With all that being put into consideration, it was no wonder that she worried that her plan would fail once again!

“Grandma, don’t worry! I have fifty people from Long Blade Faction waiting on my command to kill that bastard! I think it is more than enough to put him six-feet under!”

Immediately, Zhuang Hao responded to Zhuang Lao Taijun’s worries.

“What are you waiting for? Tell them to kill him now!”

“Yes!”

Soon, they could see that a group of muscular young men with a long blade in their hands rushing to the room where Chen Xiaobei stayed from the TV screen.

“Isn’t that the faction leader of Long Blade Faction, Jia Pinding? Faction Leader Jia’s combat power is estimated at around 15,000! Asking him and forty-nine long blade elites to kill that kid seems kind of overkill to me!”

To Zhuang Jiuhao, Chen Xiaobei was not powerful at all. Killing that female assassin within seconds was just luck! When it comes to real swords and blades, Chen Xiaobei would definitely be chopped into pieces!

“So many of them!”

After hearing Zhuang Jiuxiao’s comment and looking at the TV screen, Lan Mengchen was really worried about Chen Xiaobei. Though the enemies were not as powerful, they still outnumbered him. Many might consider Chen Xiaobei as an extraordinary human being but it was just impossible for him to defeat all of them in one goal.

Lan Mengchen felt regretful agreeing to Chen Xiaobei’s demand. At that moment, all she could do was to pray for him – hoping that a miracle would occur somehow.

At the same time, in the room where Chen Xiaobei was.

He took the dagger from the table and tossed it at the door. Actually, Zhuang Hao guessed it right. Chen Xiaobei did possess a pair of x-ray eyes but Chen Xiaobei was no mutant. Golden Gaze Fiery Eye was the item that allowed Chen Xiaobei to defeat his enemies.

*Swoosh*

The door was opened when Chen Xiaobei tossed the knife at the door.

*Phissh*

With his arm strength, the dagger managed to hit the right eye of the person that opened the door, which went through the back of his head. The goon fell on the ground and his blood splattered on the goons around him. All of them were stunned as they could not figure out what just happened to their comrade. Meanwhile, the group of people that were watching Chen Xiaobei from the TV screen was left in a state of bewilderment as well.

“U-Uncle… Did you see what he just did?”

Startled by it, Zhuang Jiuxiao could not help but frown.

Chapter 662: One Versus Fifty

“I-I did not see what he just did… It was all so sudden… The dagger was tossed towards the enemy before I realize it!”

“Elder Su! What do you think?”

Seeing that Zhuang Hao and Zhuang Jiuhao were acting more and more ridiculous, Zhuang Lao Taijun had to resort to asking the eunuch’s opinion. Slowly, the eunuch opened his eyes. A cold aura emanated from him as he said in a low voice, “Hmm… Let me take a look at it…”

In the private room where Chen Xiaobei at…

A man with a head full of white hair charged at Chen Xiaobei with a long blade in his hand. With a furious tone, the man shouted, “Why are you guys standing there? Go and kill him! Kill that son of a bitch!”

This man was none other than the faction leader of Long Blade Faction, Jia Pinding! Earlier, the fatty that Zhuang Lao Taijun sent to assassinate Chen Xiaobei was Jia Pinding’s only son. In the end, his body was forced into a B shape. Not even the best Orthopaedic specialist could cure him. Needless to say, the hatred that Jia Pinding had towards Chen Xiaobei was unimaginable!

“Brothers! Go! Chop that son of a bitch into pieces!”

The disciples of Long Blade Faction started to snarl like a group of bloodthirsty beasts. With a strong murderous intent, all of them ran to Chen Xiaobei with blades in their hands. Clearly, this group of people had done a lot of killing business for the Zhuang Family. God knows how many people that offended the Zhuangs were killed by this group of people.

*Swoosh*

The first person that approached Chen Xiaobei exuded a manic aura. Without a doubt, those who managed to kill Chen Xiaobei first would receive an abundant reward. However, he never thought that the price that he had to pay for wanting to kill Chen Xiaobei was going to cost permanent harm to him for the rest of his life.

“Want to kill me? Be prepared to throw your life away!”

Chen Xiaobei roared dominantly and lifted his right leg at lightning speed. A Nutbuster Kick was landed on the person’s crotch. Upon returning from the hunting ground, Chen Xiaobei’s combat power had increased to 15,000! Without the help of Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training, Chen Xiaobei was powerful enough to defeat all of them.

*POW!*

His Nutbuster Kick managed to destroy the man’s crotch for good. Like a cannon, the person was delivered to the group of people that stood behind him – causing them to fall to the ground like bowling pins.

“What the actual f*ck?! This kid is so powerful!”

“Don’t be afraid! Think of the things that the Zhuangs promised us! Those who kill this son of a bitch would receive three million cash!”

“Brothers! Let’s do this! For the money! For a more comfortable life!”

Though most of the disciples from Long Blade Factions were terrified by Chen Xiaobei’s strength, they were all given a boost of adrenaline when the thought about the amount of money that they were going to receive. With the temptation of money, all of them started to run towards Chen Xiaobei with the intention to kill him.

“A bunch morons! Risking your life for a mere three million? What about I pay you guys three million for every Zhuang family member that you kill?”

Chen Xiaobei stared at them icily. At the same time, he grabbed on the person’s arm that was closest to him and broke it. He then removed the long blade from him and tossed it at the crowd that was running towards him. 15,000 combat power was fully activated! The long blade managed to land on three disciples of Long Blade Faction. Blood started to splash all around them when their arms were being cut off. The other person’s chest was slashed open with his internal organs displayed clearly for all to see.

Within seconds, four of Long Blade Faction disciples were crippled. All of four of them were rolling on the ground in excruciating pain.

“Anyone else wants to lose an arm or leg? Come at me. I’m more than happy to grant your wish!”

With the blade in hand, Chen Xiaobei’s face did not display much emotion. He was just calm and steady. It was as if he was confident enough to defeat all fifty of them.

“Motherf*cker! Do you really think Long Blade Faction is just another weak ass faction to you? In Dragon City, there are not many people dare to mess with us! Brothers! Kill him!”

Seemingly, Chen Xiaobei’s threat was not working on them. Their only wish right now was to kill Chen Xiaobei. At the same time, Jia Pinding was circling around his disciples with both of his hands holding on to a long blade. Like a leopard hiding waiting for its prey, Jia Pinding was staring at Chen Xiaobei – waiting for a good opportunity to strike at him.

*Swoosh*

A few of them aimed at Chen Xiaobei’s vulnerable spot with their long blades. As the saying goes, a pair of fists could never fight with four fists. At most, the ordinary powerful elite could dodge two to three hits. Then, the rest of the attack was enough to put the person six-feet under. Undeniable, it was a good strategy to kill a person that was stronger than them. Unfortunately, the enemies that they faced this time was Chen Xiaobei.

*Shinnng*

To their surprise, Chen Xiaobei charged towards them instead of taking a step back. He then swung the long blade in his hand at them.

*Shinnng*

Sparks flew all over the place when the blades collided. Chen Xiaobei deflected all the attacks instantly, with absolute strength. Meanwhile, all those attackers were so taken aback when they were forced to drop their blades to the ground because of Chen Xiaobei’s powerful attack.

“This… This kid is too damn powerful… He is still so young but his cultivation can definitely be compared to our faction leader’s… We are so dead this time…”

In despair, those few that surrounded Chen Xiaobei were ready to welcome death into their lives.

“Die!”

Like a tiger running into a herd of sheep, Chen Xiaobei roared. Without any mercy, Chen Xiaobei cut off the arms and legs of the enemies that surrounded him. Rendered defenseless, they dropped like flies.

‘Since my threat is not working, I should just cripple all of them!”

Chen Xiaobei started to harvest their arms and legs dispassionately.

One versus fifty!

Fighting the impossible!

*Shinnng*

Suddenly, Jia Pinding launched a surprise attack on Chen Xiaobei. Seeing that Chen Xiaobei was not paying attention to him, Jia Pinding channeled all his 15,000 combat power on his long blade. Like a dragon swimming in the sea, the long blade was ready to stab his back at lightning speed.

‘Xiaobei!!!’

Seeing that Chen Xiaobei was about to be stabbed by Jia Pinding, Lan Mengchen was extremely worried. She was close to shouting it aloud but forcefully bit her lips to stop herself.

“Jia Pinding is really vicious! That bastard will surely die if he manages to stab him with his blade!”

Zhuang Jiuxiao smiled grimly, as if he could predict the ending.

“That bastard is just another weakling. Grandma, you don’t have to worry anymore,” said Zhuang Hao.

Finally, Zhuang Lao Taijun’s face relaxed and was pretty sure that Chen Xiaobei would be killed right now!

“Shit!”

Suddenly, the quiet Elder Su let out a scream.

“Jia Pinding… is crippled!”

“What?!”

The crowd was taken aback.

Chapter 663: Sit and Wait for the Big Boss

*Shinnng*

Jia Pinding’s attack speed was really fast. This sneak attack was aimed to kill Chen Xiaobei with only a single stab. Seemingly, Chen Xiaobei had already noticed that someone was going to attack him. However, he had no intention to dodge the attack at all. Instead, he turned around and wanted to use his blade to slash at Jia Pinding’s head.

“It seems like you have a death wish!”

Startled, Jia Pinding did not expect that Chen Xiaobei had no intention of dodging his attack. It was important to know that Jia Pinding’s attack was quick and hard. After all, he estimated that Chen Xiaobei’s combat power was similar to his. With him gaining the advantage, he was certain that his attack would never miss Chen Xiaobei. No matter how fast Chen Xiaobei’s response was, it was unavoidable for him to suffer injuries to some extent. Also, if he chose not to dodge the attack, he would be killed seconds later.

“Wind!”

What Jia Pinding did not expect was Chen Xiaobei turning around to retaliate.

“What… What kind of speed is this… It is at least three times faster than my attack speed… How is this even possible?”

With him screaming his lungs out, Jia Pinding’s pupils shrank, heart rate increased, and he felt that he was about to be suffocated. Without any mercy, the blade came crashing at him.

“Wind!”

*Phisssh*

Suddenly, Jia Pinding could feel a cold breeze brushing against his neck. Seconds later, he had lost all his senses. His head fell on the ground and blood spurted like a fountain. The faction leader of Long Blade Faction was officially dead!

“Oh my god… Our faction leader is dead! This bastard over here just killed him!”

“Too powerful… This kid’s true strength is just unbelievable… Look at how young he is… I can’t believe he just killed our faction leader with only a single hit…”

“We can never defeat him… Run… Run now…”

……

Seeing that Chen Xiaobei decapitated Jia Pinding, the remaining disciples of Long Blade Faction were deeply terrified. None of them carried the intention of attempting to kill him anymore. Set aside continuing the scuffle, being in the same room as Chen Xiaobei was enough to make their balls shrink. Immediately, they tossed their long blades on the ground and started running for their lives. Seconds later, everyone was gone.

“What a bunch of trash. How daring of the Zhuang Family to assign them this task. This is truly embarrassing for them!”

After that, Chen Xiaobei tossed the long blade in his hand to the ground and looked at the hidden camera with a smirk.

“Just bring out your trump card! Don’t waste my time!”

…….

At the private room above Chen Xiaobei…

Though Lan Mengchen was prepared to watch some really bloody scenes, her pale face indicated that she was deeply disturbed by what she saw on the TV. She had never seen such brutal and gory scenes in her life before. The thing that did not expect the most was how Chen Xiaobei killed someone without any hesitation. As compared to slitting the female assassin’s throat, decapitating Jia Pinding was far more shocking.

Of course, Lan Mengchen did not care too much about the ways Chen Xiaobei killed his enemies. Right now, the only wish in her mind was that Chen Xiaobei could leave this place safely. Meanwhile, the Zhuang family members were left in a frustration. A few seconds ago, they were certain that Chen Xiaobei would definitely be killed by Jia Pinding. With Chen Xiaobei defeating all his enemies easily, they could feel continuous slaps on their faces.

“Elder Su… What the hell is going on? That bastard is supposed to be dead by now. How did he counter Jia Pinding’s attack and kill him in the process? This is truly unbelievable!” asked the witch of the Zhuang Family.

Zhuang Hao and Zhuang Jiuxiao pricked up their ears to listen to Elder Su’s explanation.

“It seems like that kid used some special method to conceal the extra thirty percent combat power! Jia Pinding was no match when he channeled all his combat power to his attack! That’s how he countered Jia Pinding’s attack!”

“Concealing his true strength? It looks like I have underestimated this bastard! I shall grant his wish of asking us to present our trump card! Elder Su, who do you think I should send to deal with that bastard?”

“Judging from his speed and strength, I would say his combat power should be around 20,000. Master Jiuxiao is definitely powerful enough to defeat him!”

“Jiuxiao, go and take his life! Consider it as a warm-up for your upcoming Heroes of War martial arts competition!”

“Yes! Don’t worry, great grandma! I can guarantee that I can make him yield within three minutes!”

Zhuang Jiuxiao tapped on his chest to show off his confidence. Considering that Elder Su mentioned that Chen Xiaobei’s combat power was only around 20,000, Zhuang Jiuxiao should be able to defeat Chen Xiaobei with ease. After that, Zhuang Jiuxiao went downstairs to look for Chen Xiaobei.

“Master Zhuang, you should assign four of your bodyguards to protect him to make sure nothing bad will happen to him!” said Elder Su.

“Four of you! Go and protect Master Jiuxiao!”

Without any hesitation, he gave an order to all four of his bodyguards to protect Zhuang Jiuxiao. All four of them were top-notch bodyguards that were trained in the national special facility. With that being said, their combat power was actually more powerful than Zhuang Jiuxiao. Considering that Zhuang Jiuxiao was already stronger than Chen Xiaobei, these four additional bodyguards would serve to make sure Chen Xiaobei would not defeat Zhuang Jiuxiao.

“Elder Su, do you think there will be any surprise elements?” asked Zhuang Lao Taijun.

Normally, assigning those four bodyguards to protect Zhuang Jiuxiao was completely unnecessary. There must be a reason behind Elder Su’s idea.

“I still can’t gauge his true strength. It seems like he is not going to conceal any of his combat power anymore but I’m afraid that he possesses other hidden skills! Without any hidden skills, he would definitely not sit there and wait for us to kill him!”

“Is he going to be a threat to us if he does possess some hidden skills?”

“Don’t you worry! Normally, all of us here should be powerful enough to kill that bastard! I still have a trump card with me if we fail to defeat him!”

“What kind of trump card?”

“There is someone more powerful than me on his way here! He is my old friend. If we can’t solve this matter, he promised me that he would help us with it!”

“More powerful than you? Great! In that case, I will stop worrying!”

Even Zhuang Hao was bemused. Amongst them, Elder Su was the most powerful individual. The person that he claimed that was more powerful than me should be someone from the God of War Leaderboard!

‘Shit!”

Taking a deep breath, Lan Mengchen started to feel anxious again.

Chapter 664: Call Me Your Great Ancestor

“Kid! You hid it pretty well!”

There was a hint of amusement and arrogance in Zhuang Jiuxiao’s tone when he approached Chen Xiaobei downstairs. Like a cat that captured a mouse, he had no intention of killing Chen Xiaobei immediately. Instead, he wanted to slowly torture him. To him, Chen Xiaobei was the pathetic mouse. As for the bodyguards, all four of them chose to stay outside the room for now. There was no reason for them to go into the room to help Zhuang Jiuxiao if he was able to defeat Chen Xiaobei on his own. Besides that, he had to gain more combat experience before joining the martial arts competition.

“Who are you?”

Taken aback, Chen Xiaobei was surprised that the Zhuang Family would send a young man to capture him.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Halfstep True Nirvana Stage. Health: 20,000. Combat power: 20,000 (+1000)!]

After checking him with the Netherspirit Battlescouter, Chen Xiaobei was shocked by what he saw. Taking half a step forward from the pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage might sound simple but it was actually extremely difficult. Amongst one thousand individuals with pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage, only one could achieve True Nirvana Stage! Only ten would achieve Halfstep True Nirvana Stage!

Considering that Zhuang Jiuxiao was still really young, it was rare for people at his age to achieve Halfstep True Nirvana Stage. Taking a look at Japan’s prodigy Cangjin Gu, before he received the help of the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill, he was at Halfstep True Nirvana Stage but he was older than Zhuang Jiuxiao. From here, one could see that Zhuang Jiuxiao was extremely talented. Not even prodigy like Cangjin Gu could be compared to him.

“Hmph! You are so uncultured! How can you not know me? I’m the famous Zhuang Jiuxiao! You have no right step into Jianghu!” Zhuang Jiuxiao said haughtily while glaring at Chen Xiaobei.

“Are you really famous? How come I’ve never heard of you before?”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. Though his opponent was more powerful than him, that did not mean Chen Xiaobei should be afraid of him.

“Cut the act! I’m the new superstar that’s ranked eighth on the Heroes of War Leaderboard! How bold of you to say that you’ve never heard of me!”

Almost everyone in Jianghu knew about the people on the Heroes of War Leaderboard. Normally, people from the good and bad side would definitely show him a certain level of respect when they heard of his name. Not only was Chen Xiaobei not bothered about his status in Jianghu, but also told him that he had never heard of his name before.

“People like you is worth to be listed on the Heroes of War Leaderboard? It seems like the leaderboard is actually pretty meaningless!”

“What the f*ck?! Bastard! There should be a limit to your arrogance! Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you say that Heroes of War Leaderboard is meaningless? Anyone that is on the leaderboard could destroy you with ease!”

Zhuang Jiuxiao was offended by what Chen Xiaobei just said. Being on the Heroes of War Leaderboard was always his pride and glory. His anger got the best of him after Chen Xiaobei insulted him.

“Destroy me? Hehe… Please come and try! I will let you have a taste of being destroyed by someone!”

“What?! You want to destroy me?! Tell me! Where did you acquire this level of confidence?”

Upon hearing Chen Xiaobei’s threat, Zhuang Jiuxiao could not help but roll his eyes.

“It’s a secret! I’m not going to tell you! Call me your great ancestor and maybe I will consider telling you!”

“Eat shit! Let me grant your death wish since you want to be killed so badly!”

Following by his furious roar, Zhuang Jiuxiao channeled True Qi to his body and dashed at Chen Xiaobei with full force.

*Swoosh!*

Like raindrops, Zhuang Jiuxiao landed countless punches on Chen Xiaobei at lightning speed. His fists were moving so fast that afterimages were created. Every single punch contained 20,000 combat power. That was equivalent to 8000 pounds of force! It was definitely more than enough to demolish an entire building!

Devoid of fear, Chen Xiaobei swung his fists to face the incoming attacks. From the looks of it, Chen Xiaobei’s fists had no strength. There was nothing out of ordinary about it.

“Hmph! It seems like you want death himself to knock at your door! You are not as powerful as me! How dare you counter my attack with your fists? I’m going to destroy you! I’m going to let you realize that you are nothing but an ignorant idiot!”

In another private room.

Upon seeing the combat scene, Zhuang Hao put on a grim smile on his face.

“Jiuxiao is the most talented prodigy in the Zhuang Family! His Meteor Shower Punch is almost as powerful as mine! I believe that he will definitely do something great in the future!”

“Elder Su. What are your thoughts?” asked Zhuang Lao Taijun.

Immediately, Lan Mengchen was all ears to listen to the conversation. She was so nervous that she held her breath unconsciously. Clearly, she knew that Elder Su was always good at judging situations. Whether Chen Xiaobei could win in this battle was all up to Elder Su’s words.

“No problem! Master Jiuxiao’s combat power has the upper hand! And, the martial arts skill that he uses is extremely powerful as well! I believe that kid is on the losing end.”

Upon hearing that, Lan Mengchen almost buckled over knowing all hope was lost.

However!

Everyone in the room was startled before Elder Su could finish his sentence. Things took a different turn when Zhuang Jiuxiao’s Meteor Shower Punch was about beat Chen Xiaobei to a pulp.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you guys!”

With his eyebrows raised, Chen Xiaobei opened up his fists all of a sudden. He then uttered two simple words.

“Divine Net!”

A sky full of white silk landed on Zhuang Jiuxiao’s fists – putting his Meteor Shower Punch to a stop.

“What the hell is that? Do you really think you can stop me with this stupid skill? Dream on!”

Zhuang Jiuxiao was astonished but he was not afraid at all. Immediately, he channeled strength to both of his arms to try to break the white silk. Undeniably, Zhuang Jiuxiao was really strong but he still failed to break free from the spider silk.

“You might be able to break one single thread of spider silk. But, do you think you can break a rope of it?”

Smiling, it was as if Chen Xiaobei had everything under his control. With him consuming more Spiritual Qi, more and more spider silk started to appear around Zhuang Jiuxiao. Soon, he was wrapped inside the spider silk like a cocoon! It was simply not possible for him to break free from it.

“What… What the hell is going on? Bastard! What kind of sorcery is this? Let me go! Let me go…”

Only Zhuang Jiuxiao’s head was exposed – glaring at Chen Xiaobei like a carnivorous beast.

“Let you go? Hehe… Your demand is truly funny!”

Chen Xiaobei then strode towards him, grabbed his hair and started to slap him with another hand.

*Slap!*

The sound of slapping echoed in the room. While slapping him, Chen Xiaobei chided him.

“I thought you are supposed to be an arrogant son of a bitch? You are ranked eighth on the Heroes of War Leaderboard, isn’t it? You mentioned that you want to destroy me, right? What happened to all your promises? Killing you is as easy as squashing an ant! I dare you to act haughtily in front of me again! Come on!”

Chapter 665: Kowtow till You Die

“Why?! How did this happen? Someone, please explain it to me!”

In the private room, Zhuang Lao Taijun was roaring furiously with a darkened face. She and Zhuang Jiuxiao could feel slap after slap on their faces – which was infuriating.

Rank 8 on the Heroes of War Leaderboard!

The most talented prodigy in the Zhuang Family!

It was so close for him to bring victory to the Zhuang Family. Unfortunately, victory was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he was being slapped around by Chen Xiaobei.

“There is something unusual about those white silk threads… Jiuxiao has fallen into that bastard’s trap…”

Feeling embarrassed, Zhuang Hao did not dare to lift his head to look at others. Earlier on he was just praising Zhuang Jiuxiao that he would definitely do something great in the future. To his surprise, the trophy of the Zhuang Family was just a piece of junk to Chen Xiaobei.

“Master Zhuang! This is not the time to study the white silk! Ask your bodyguards to do something about it quickly! If not, Master Jiuxiao’s life will be in danger!”

The calm and collected Elder Su finally reacted. He was forced to urge Zhuang Hao to save Zhuang Jiuxiao. His face was flushed as he knew that he just embarrassed himself greatly. Not too long ago, he was the one that said Zhuang Jiuxiao could defeat Chen Xiaobei easily. Nobody would have thought that his words would turn into a hard slap which landed on his face. As such, his reputation was ruined.

At that moment, Lan Mengchen was the only person in the room that had a different thought in mind. Her initial despair was replaced by a pleasant surprise. She could not believe that not only Chen Xiaobei did not lose in the fight; instead, Zhuang Jiuxiao was the one that was beaten up. She found it hard to believe; it felt like a dream.

Considering that she had known Chen Xiaobei for a good amount of time, she found it hard to believe that the arrogant and dominating young man on the TV was the poor farmer boy that she once knew. This transformation of his was simply astonishing. She had a feeling that this was not Chen Xiaobei’s limit. As long as he could overcome the problem here, he was practically unstoppable.

“Idiots! What the hell are you guys doing? Move it!”

Immediately, Zhuang Hao made a call to yell at his bodyguards.

….

In the private room where Chen Xiaobei was at.

The four top-notch bodyguards were left in shock when they saw Chen Xiaobei slapping Zhuang Jiuxiao around.

“Kid! Let Master Jiuxiao goes right now!”

The leader of the bodyguards was a short man. Judging from his steady tone, one could tell that he was a man that could not be easily shaken. Normally, he was the one that gave orders and no one would dare to disobey him. Right after that, the rest of the three bodyguards stood in a triangular position and locked on to Chen Xiaobei. At the same time, they were secretly channeling True Qi to their body – getting ready to attack Chen Xiaobei whenever they saw a golden opportunity. It seemed that the four of them always worked together as the teamwork among them was flawless.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Halfstep True Nirvana Stage. Health: 20,000. Combat power: 20,000 (+5000)!]

The short man’s true strength was revealed to Chen Xiaobei with the help of the Netherspirit Battlescouter.

[Cultivation: Halfstep True Nirvana Stage. Health: 20,000. Combat power: 20,000 (+3000)!]

The rest of the three bodyguards were not weaklings as well. Without a doubt, the Thousand Webs Bracelet could never trap them if all four of them decided to attack Chen Xiaobei at the same time. He would certainly be killed within seconds. However, fear did not get the best of Chen Xiaobei.

*SLAP!*

He slapped Zhuang Jiuxiao’s face again.

“So, you guys are asking me to let him go? Who do you think you are?” asked Chen Xiaobei scornfully.

“You will die in vain if you don’t let him go now!”

“Hehe… You make it sound like you guys are going to let me leave this place in one piece if I let him go! Since this is a standoff, I think I should kill him first! Then I shall spend some time to have fun with you guys!”

“Ugh… No… Please don’t kill me… I beg you… Please…”

With his body shaking uncontrollably due to fear, Zhuang Jiuxiao almost wet his pants. Judging from what Chen Xiaobei just said, he knew that Chen Xiaobei had no intention to use him as a hostage. It seemed like Chen Xiaobei had what it took to fight with the Zhuang Family until the end.

“No! Please don’t kill Master Jiuxiao! Please don’t do anything impulsive! Let’s talk about it properly.”

Seeing that Chen Xiaobei was not afraid of his threat, the short man was forced to take a step back.

“Talk about it? You are not worthy! You have three minutes to ask your master to come here! One second later than that, you can prepare to collect his corpse!”

“No… Please don’t do it… I beg you…”

“Alright! Hold on! I’m going to talk to my master now!”

The short man could not fathom what Chen Xiaobei had in mind. Meanwhile, the remaining three bodyguards were instructed to keep an eye on Chen Xiaobei. However, they did not dare to do anything that would incite taunting. Chen Xiaobei might kill Zhuang Jiuxiao if they made him angry.

After that, Chen Xiaobei sat on the chair with his legs crossed and Zhuang Jiuxiao was kneeling beside him like a dog.

….

In the other private room.

“Master Zhuang, what should we do about it?” asked the short man.

Everyone in the room had seen what just happened in the room. No doubt, they were having a hard time solving this matter.

“This is strange! If it was any other person, they would use Jiuxiao as a hostage in exchange for walking out unscathed! Where does he find the courage to sit there and demand to meet us?! Could it be that he is not afraid of us at all?” said Zhuang Hao.

Upon hearing that, Lan Mengchen was baffled by Chen Xiaobei’s action as well.

“I think there is someone powerful behind him! Without a powerful support, there is no way that he would dare to act in such an arrogant manner!” said Elder Su.

“Support? What kind of support gives him the right to disrespect us?”

Zhuang Lao Taijun was so furious that she gritted her teeth.

“If he is from one of those ancient factions, he definitely has all the right in the world to disrespect us!” said Elder Su.

“Ancient faction? Like those individuals that disconnect from the world and train in their own world?”

Zhuang Lao Taijun and Zhuang Hao were taken aback. Considering that Zhuang Family had almost unlimited access to different resources and were extremely powerful, only those ancient factions could put fear in them.

“Both of you, don’t worry for now. My friend is an elder from an ancient faction. Everything will be under control when he is here later! Let’s go down and stall for some time. We will deal with him properly when my friend is here!” said Elder Su.

Chapter 666: Kneel Down and Apologize

“Here they come!”

All the time, Chen Xiaobei was using Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes to observe what was happening outside. He saw that the short man was bringing Zhuang Lao Taijun, Zhuang Hao, and Elder Su to come and meet him. On the other hand, Lan Mengchen had decided to stay in the private room instead.

“Everything is under my control!”

Chen Xiaobei was gleeful upon seeing that scene. The main reason Chen Xiaobei chose to have a standoff with the Zhuang Family was to make sure that no one in the Zhuang Family could gauge how powerful he was. The Zhuang Family would definitely go after him if he used Zhuang Jiuxiao to escape from this place. With that being put into consideration, acting like a coward when facing a powerful group of people like the Zhuang Family would only make the situation worse.

Needless to say, Chen Xioabei’s strength was weaker than the Zhuang Family’s – psychological warfare was the only way to defeat them.

“Mr. Chen! Your name precedes your reputation! I can finally meet you in person!”

With a smile on her face, Chen Xiaobei could see that Zhuang Lao Taijun was just another hypocrite. It was as if nothing had happened before she came into this room and talked to Chen Xiaobei.

“Stop acting like that! Hypocrites like you are the ones that I hate most!”

“Bastard! What kind of attitude is that?”

Immediately, Zhuang Hao was angered from the way he talked to Zhuang Lao Taijun. Gritting his teeth, he could not wait to chop Chen Xiaobei into pieces. Zhuang Lai Taijun was after all Zhuang Hao’s grandmother – the one that managed the whole family. No one in their right minds in this country would dare to talk to her in such a rude manner.

“Zhuang Hao! Step back!”

Waving a hand at Zhuang Hao, she took a step forwards. Elder Su then picked up a chair and delivered it to her.

“Mr. Chen. I think it’s time for us to talk about this matter peacefully since it has taken a turn for the worse.”

Just when Zhuang Lao Taijun wanted to take a seat, Chen Xiaobei bellowed at her.

“Did I give you permission to sit down?”

Upon hearing that, everyone including Lan Mengchen was extremely shocked.

‘Is that kid crazy?’

‘Zhuang Lao Taijun does not even need his permission to sit on the chair!’

‘I think he is treating himself like a god! No ordinary human being would dare to speak to Zhuang Lao Taijun in such a rude manner!’

The four top-notch bodyguards were taken aback as well. They had seen a lot of crazy people throughout their time in Jianghu. This was their very first time seeing such a crazy and arrogant person like Chen Xiaobei.

In the other private room, Lan Mengchen was so worried about Chen Xiaobei that she started to sweat.

“What the hell is Xiaobei thinking? Zhuang Lao Taijun had just lowered her status in Jianghu to go and talk to him. Why did he have to say such a ridiculous thing to anger her even further? This is a completely suicidal move!”

To Lan Mengchen, the best way to overcome a problem like this was to talk to Zhuang Lao Taijun in a peaceful manner and looked for an opportunity to get out of this place. However, Chen Xiaobei did not do what ordinary human being would do. Instead, he was trying to anger the whole Zhuang Family from the moment they entered the room.

“Son of a bitch! IIt seems like you are asking to be killed on the spot!”

Glaring at Chen Xiaobei angrily, Zhuang Hao started to channel True Qi to his body and get ready to strike him.

“Uncle! Please don’t do it… He will not hesitate to kill me… No…”

Zhuang Jiuxiao was kneeling beside Chen Xiaobei and begging in a hysterical manner. However, anger had already gotten better of Zhuang Hao. He would not mind sacrificing his own nephew just to kill Chen Xioabei.

“Master Zhuang!”

At that critical moment, Elder Su stopped him immediately and shook his head. Clearly, this old man still did not have a clear view of Chen Xiaobei’s capabilities. Feeling worried, he was afraid that Zhuang Hao might lose to Chen Xiaobei if he attacked him without thinking it through. All those powerful individuals might look cool and arrogant from the outside; they were actually more afraid to die than ordinary people.

Without a 100% win rate, they would definitely not attack their opponents. And, this was exactly what Chen Xiaobei wanted from them! Things were going to be smooth sailing from now on since the enemies were afraid of Chen Xiaobei right now.

“Zhuang Hao! Watch your manners! I don’t mind standing at all! No big deal!”

“But! Grandma…”

The powerful head of the Zhuang Family was asked to stand up!

The most talented genius in the Zhuang Family was kneeling!

Chen Xiaobei was sitting on the chair with his legs crossed!

This was not a face slapping moment anymore – Chen Xiaobei was practically stepping on their faces!

“No buts! Are you going to disobey me?!”

“I wouldn’t dare…”

Immediately, Zhuang Hao suppressed his anger and moved to the back of the room. His fire-spitting eyes were glaring at Chen Xiaobei. It was as if the fire from his anger was going to burn Chen Xiaobei alive.

“Mr. Chen. Can we talk now?”

“Okay… Seeing that you are pretty sincere, talk!”

Acting like a boss, Chen Xioabei gave an order.

After seeing Chen Xiaobei’s attitude, Zhuang Hao was so angry that he almost crushed his own teeth. Luckily, Zhuang Lao Taijun had around ten years of Qi cultivating experience. If not, her anger would have taken control of her. On the other hand, Elder Su was calm as usual. Knowing that his powerful friend was coming soon, he would know whether Chen Xiaobei was the real deal or just trying to fool them.

“Mr. Chen. I think things would not end well for the both of us if we let this matter escalate. I suggest that…”

Zhuang Lao Taijun regained her composure and prepared to make a proposal.

“Hold on right there! Things would not end well for your family! This matter would not affect me at all!”

“This…”

Stunned, Zhuang Lao Taijun almost lost it.

“Mr. Chen. I’m here to have a discussion with you! You are no gentleman if you continue to act like this!”

“Acting like this? Gentleman? These things coming out of your mouth are like jokes to me! Our first conflict began with Zhuang Bufan! The video clip shows that he is the bad guy! However, you chose to send someone to hurt me when you knew that you are at fault! Is this what a human being with a good conscience would do? Don’t you feel embarrassed for what you did to me?”

Again, Zhuang Lao Taijun was rendered speechless. It was true that they had wronged Chen Xiaobei. Arguing with Chen Xiaobei would only make the situation became worse.

“Alright! Let’s put a stop to all of this nonsense! Mr. Chen. Tell me! What do you want us to do for you to let Jiuxiao live? Name it and we will do it!”

“Fine! Finally, a human being with a conscience is talking!”

“I want all of you to kneel down and apologize to me! Then, I will forget about all thing that you guys have done to me!”

“This…”

Startled, they could not believe what Chen Xiaobei just said.

Chapter 667: A Great Big Lie

Asking everyone to kneel and apologize to him? This simple statement was akin to dropping a nuclear bomb in everyone’s heart. A shocking blast destroyed all their senses. They were not just asked to kneel before Chen Xiaobei but also kowtow to him. Set aside the country, the whole world would be left in bewilderment if they hear of it!

“Son of a bitch! Time to die!”

Once again, Zhuang Hao was furious. Immediately, he formed a battle suit around his body with his True Kang. It seemed like his patience had reached its limit. He was about to dash towards Chen Xiaobei and kill him. On the other hand, the four bodyguards had True Qi channeled around their bodies as well. Standing around Zhuang Hao and glaring at Chen Xiaobei, they did not hesitate to attack Chen Xiaobei once Zhuang Hao initiated the attack.

Frowning, Zhuang Lao Taijun had no intention of stopping him anymore. Considering that the Zhuang Family had never received such scorn before, Zhuang Lao Taijun could no longer suppress her anger. In the other private room, Lan Mengchen took in a huge breath. Her body shook uncontrollably due to fear and worry. She could never understand why Chen Xiaobei would make such a suicidal move. To her understanding, offending the entire Zhuang Family would bring him harm and had no benefits whatsoever.

“Mr. Chen! The Zhuang Family is after all one of the four biggest families in China! Asking us to kneel before you is just absurd! The descendant of the Zhuang Family would be happy to put on a fight with you!” said Zhuang Lao Taijun.

Upon hearing that, Zhuang Hao and his bodyguards were ready to strike Chen Xiaobei. Meanwhile, Lan Mengchen was holding her breath and paying attention to the TV, while praying that Chen Xiaobei would not do something stupid. Zhuang Lao Taijun and Elder Su just stared at him in silence.

At that moment, everyone in the room was waiting for Chen Xiaobei to reply! His reply was going to determine his fate in the room.

Fight?

Truce?

It would all depend on how Chen Xiaobei answers them!

“Fine! Let’s fight then! I have never gone through a real combat with anyone right after I stepped out from the mountain! I don’t mind destroying the entire the Zhuang Family since all of you insist on putting up a fight with me! You guys are going serve as a warning to the rest of the people in this world! Those that go against me, Chen Zhufeng will die horribly!”

“Chen… Chen Zhufeng? I thought your name is Chen Xiaobei?”

Everyone was taken aback after they heard Chen Xiaobei revealed his true name.

Just got out of the mountain?

Destroy the entire the Zhuang Family?

Serve as a warning?

Chen Zhufeng?

Immediately, everyone felt baffled after they remembered how haughty Chen Xiaobei was when he talked to them.

‘Maybe he really is a super elite from some ancient faction!’

‘Maybe he does possess the power to destroy the entire Zhuang Family!’

‘The name, Chen Zhufeng sounds really powerful and dominating!”

‘Maybe his Tao name is Zhufeng Zhenren!’

Suddenly, numerous questions formed in their mins. They felt like something was not right. Trying to imagine that a kid in his twenties without a powerful support at his back would dare to go against the Zhuang Family? That was just suicidal! If he did have someone powerful behind his back, Zhuang Family would most certainly be destroyed if they went against him.

“Zhuang Hao! Stop acting so impulsive! Let’s talk about it first!” shouted Zhuang Lao Taijun.

Truthfully, Zhuang Hao and four of his bodyguards were already scared to death before Zhuang Lao Taijun shouted at them. Especially Zhuang Hao; considered that he had a high position in Jianghu and fortune that he could never use up, he would definitely not risk his precious life.

Seeing that Zhuang Hao had stopped his attack, Zhuang Lao Taijun and Elder Su were relieved. Clearly, they were scared to death by Chen Xiaobei as well. They were worried that a grave mistake like that would cause unrepairable damage to the Zhuang Family.

However!

They never thought everything that Chen Xiaobei told them was made-up.

There was no coming out from the mountain.

He certainly was not powerful enough to destroy the entire Zhuang Family.

His name was not Chen Zhufeng.

Those were his lies!

This was all psychological warfare!

Without a doubt, Chen Xiaobei had won in this battle. From the beginning till the end, everything happened according to his plan. In the end, the entire Zhuang Family was terrified by the things that Chen Xiaobei told them. Though they were stronger than Chen Xiaobei, none of them dared to do anything to him.

Such irony!

Even Lan Mengchen was taken aback when she saw what just happened to the Zhuang Family from the TV. It was hard for the smart Lan Mengchen to believe that the all-powerful Zhuang Family was just pinned down by Chen Xiaobei completely. This was truly unbelievable! Actually, the lies that he told them was not the main reason why he won in this psychological warfare! His state of mind was the reason that he won in this battle!

Though he was lying to them, his powerful state of mind allowed him to act as arrogant as possible in front of them – making them believe everything that he told them. Of course, his steadiness contributed to his victory as well. That was why the winner of this battle had already set in stone before the battle even began! The last step was to make the Zhuang Family apologize to him. They would definitely not mess with him after this incident.

Solving the problem once and for all! This was the result that Chen Xiaobei wanted. Suddenly, a slow and steady footstep could be heard outside the room. A man in his fifties entered the room. His hair was all white. With a wooden hairpin holding his hair up and in a crimson Tao robe, he looked like he just traveled from ancient times to this modern world. Immediately, everyone could not wait to show their respect to him when they sense his deity-like temperament.

“Hengfeng Zhenren! You are finally here! Lao Taijun! Master Zhuang! This is my old friend from Mount Shu Faction, Hengfeng Zhenren! With him being here, everything can be solved with ease!”

“Pleasure to meet you Hengfeng Zhenren! Your name precedes your reputation! You are really out of this world when we finally get to meet you in person!”

Immediately, Zhuang Lao Taijun and Zhuang Hao went and greeted him in a polite manner. Needless to say, they were joyful when they saw him. At the side, the four bodyguards treated him with a good amount of respect by bowing to him. To them, Chen Xiaobei would surely be defeated with this super elite on their side.

However!

All them were baffled when they witnessed their elite acting in an extremely polite manner towards Chen Xiaobei. Putting both hands together and bowing to Chen Xiaobei, he said, “My living god, please accept my utmost respects!”

“What now? Did you just come here to be killed by me?” said Chen Xiaobei scornfully with an icy glare.

Chapter 668: Here Comes the Living God

‘My living god?’

Upon hearing that, everyone in the room was startled. They witnessed the elder from Mount Shu Faction greeting Chen Xiaobei with extreme respect – like how a grandson greets his grandad. This was truly unbelievable. Judging from Chen Xiaobei’s demeanor towards the elder, it seemed that Chen Xiaobei could not care less about him, despite everyone else’s respect towards him.

At this moment, other than Chen Xiaobei, Lan Mengchen was the second person that knew what was going on. After all, this old friend of Elder Su was Situ Hengfeng! The one that Chen Xiaobei dealt with during the fog incident at the airport. To him, Chen Xiaobei was a demigod. Due to fear, he kneeled on the ground and slapped his own face after the fog incident was solved by Chen Xiaobei flawlessly.

He would not dare to disrespect Chen Xiaobei when meeting him again.

“God Chen! What do you mean by that? Did I do something wrong again? Please show me my mistake… Tell me and I will definitely stop doing it and learn from my mistake!”

Terrified, Situ Hengfeng’s body shook uncontrollably while he bowed and nodded repeatedly at Chen Xiaobei. Upon seeing that, the Zhuang Family was on the verge of breaking down. Judging from how he acted towards Chen Xiaobei, Situ Hengfeng definitely did not look like some kind of super elite to them. If Elder Su was not the one who recommend Situ Hengfeng to them, they would suspect that Situ Hengfeng was actually siding with Chen Xiaobei.

Clearly, Elder Su would never mistake someone else for Situ Hengfeng. The deity-like temperament that exuded from Situ Hengfeng was definitely not fake. He was really the elder from Mount Shu Faction! Unfortunately, to Chen Xiaobei, he was just a nobody. On the other hand, Zhuang Hao and his bodyguards were completely terrified by Chen Xiaobei. Moments ago, they were preparing to kill Chen Xiaobei but now they were like a group of mice –not daring to even breathe out loud.

Zhuang Lao Taijun found it hard to believe. She then glared at Elder Su. Elder Su who started to look uncomfortable then asked boldly, “Brother Shitu, I think you have the wrong guy here. This young man right here could not possibly be a living god!”

Immediately, everyone in the room pricked up their ears to listen to Situ Hengfeng’s reply.

“What the hell are you talking about? There is no way that I don’t recognize my living god! All of you here better watch your mouth! Don’t drag me down if you want to be killed!”

Angered, Situ Hengfeng turned around and glared at the Zhuang Family. A powerful and dominant aura emanated from him.

*Siii…*

Every single member of Zhuang Family took in a deep breath. Considering that Situ Hengfeng’s Qi field was extremely terrifying, his fear towards Chen Xiaobei could not be fake. Upon knowing that, Zhuang Lao Taijun lost all hope. Immediately, she had to re-plan everything to please Chen Xiaobei.

Suddenly, Zhuang Jiuxiao shouted, “Great grandma! You have been fooled by this bastard! This kid over here is no living god! It was just some dirty tricks! Uncle! Just attack him and you will know that he is just a conman!”

Undeniably, Zhuang Jiuxiao was actually right. The truth would be unveiled when someone powerful in the room attacks Chen Xiaobei. Unfortunately, no one dared to believe what he claimed. One had to know that Zhuang Lao Taijun and Zhuang Hao cherished their lives a lot. Situ Hengfeng would definitely not risk his decade’s worth of cultivation to go against Chen Xiaobei.

*Pow!*

Without saying a word, Situ Hengfeng landed a kick on Zhuang Jiuxiao’s stomach. The force was so powerful that he was sent to the wall and cracked it. Following by that, Zhuang Jiuxiao coughed out a mouthful of warm blood.

“What an idiot! Are you trying to kill all of us here? I have witnessed God Chen controlling the weather with his sheer mind! How can he be fake?”

“What?! Controlling weather with only his sheer mind? Could Mr… Mr. Chen be an elite with celestial cultivation?”

Finally, Zhuang Lao Taijun lost her composure.

“Of course! Borrowing the power of nature to control the weather is an ability belongs to elites with celestial cultivation! With his sheer mind, he summoned the wind to clear the fog! I believe he is even more powerful than my master! So, take a guess. What is Mr. Chen’s cultivation?”

“More powerful than his master?! De… Demigod?!”

Immediately, everyone from the Zhuang Family started to shake uncontrollably. Their foreheads and backs were drenched in sweat as well. The grandmaster of Mount Shu Faction could split a river with only his finger. That was one of the most glorious incidents that Mount Shu Faction was proud of. The moment Situ Hengfeng told everyone that Chen Xiaobei’s ability to summon wind was more powerful than his grandmaster; everyone caught the message that he tried to deliver.

“Mr. Chen… God Chen! We know that we have wronged you! This is all our fault! Please forgive us! We, the Zhuang Family is willing to use money or other resources to redeem ourselves! All we wish that is for you to cease your anger.”

Upon hearing that, Zhuang Hao and Elder Su nodded their heads repeatedly. They would not dare to mess with a living god that was at the top of the food chain even if they had ten thousand guts with them. Again, Lan Mengchen was bemused when she saw how things had turned out for Chen Xiaobei. A few minutes ago, she thought it was suicidal for Chen Xiaobei to anger his opponent – causing her to lose all hope. Now, the tide had changed completely and Chen Xiaobei still acted like a boss in front of the Zhuang Family. The only difference was that Chen Xiaobei completely terrified the Zhuang Family.

Using money and resources to redeem themselves meant that the Zhuang Family had surrendered in this battle. Finally, Lan Mengchen could let out a sigh of relief.

However, Chen Xiaobei’s reply to Zhuang Lao Taijun was unexpected.

“Money and resources? You want to use those earthly things to redeem yourself? Are you really that stupid? Or, do you think that my dignity is so cheap that it can be bought with your money and resources?”

“This…”

Terrified, Zhuang Lao Taijun did not know what to do anymore. Only a living god would not care about money and resources!

“Brother Situ. Considering that we are friends for a long time. Do you think you can entreat a favor for us by asking God Chen to forgive us?” asked Elder Su pitifully.

“What a load of bullshit! I have no right to ask God Chen to do anything! Just kneel down in front of him and apologize! He then might forgive you! This is all I can do to help!”

As they were out of options, Zhuang Lao Taijun kneeled down immediately. Like being struck by lightning, Zhuang Hao and Elder Su had not seen her kneel down in front of anyone before. Immediately, the two of them kneeled down as well. Same went to the four bodyguards.

“God Chen! We know that this is all our fault… Please forgive us… We beg you…”

Chapter 669: Important Scene

*Bop!*

Every single Zhuang family member got on their knees and kowtowed repeatedly. They knocked their heads so hard on the ground that blood almost gushed out from their heads. Clearly, they were deeply terrified. Chen Xiaobei’s purpose was finally achieved. From today onwards, he did not need to worry about the Zhuang Family going against him anymore.

“Alright. Seeing that all of you here apologize to me sincerely. I’m willing to grant one more chance to your family! Remember, mess with me again and the Zhuang Family will perish!”

Chen Xiaobei then stood up and left the private room slowly. Even after Chen Xiaobei left the room for quite some time, the Zhuangs still did not dare to get up – like a statue fixed on the ground. The fear on their faces remained as well.

“Everyone, stand up! All of you here are lucky that God Chen did not kill any one of you here! Remember! Don’t make the same mistake again!”

Relieved, Situ Hengfeng went back to his deity-like temperament and helped them to stand up from the ground. He took out a black pill when he walked to Zhuang Jiuxiao.

“I was forced to land a heavy hit on you. This is a secret pill of Mount Shu Faction. It can help with your recovery. I hope you can recover from your injuries as soon as possible!”

“Great grandma! Hengfeng Zhenren! Uncle!”

“That kid really is a scammer! He does not possess any great power! All he did just now was to make up some stories to fool you guys!”

“Young man! That is a rather dangerous thought right there! I hope you can get over it as soon as possible! If not, great disaster would land upon the Zhuang Family!”

“No! I’m serious! Think about it! Why a demigod would take part in a movie production? And, he even owns a company! There must be something wrong with him!”

“Ignorant! This is normal for those who stay hidden and train in the mountains! I have left the mountains to help the Yap Family! Is there something wrong with me as well?”

“No… That’s not what I meant…”

Immediately, Zhuang Jiuxiao shook his head. Situ Hengfeng’s cultivation and combat power was, after all, stronger than Elder Su’s. That was why he did not dare to say whatever he wanted to say.

“A demigod like Mr. Chen sees all these ordinary human being’s life as a game. He is just trying experience what it is like to live like a human! A hundred years later, you will return to a speck of dust. And, Mr. Chen, the demigod still can go back to the mountains to continue improving himself through further training. To Master Chen, being a part of movie production and owning a company is just like a game to him! If he is after money and fame, why wouldn’t he take any money and resources from your family?”

“That’s right! Hengfeng Zhenren is right!”

Everyone from the Zhuang Family nodded their heads at the same time. It seemed all of them were certain that Chen Xiaobei was a demigod that came to the city to experience life.

“You guys have to believe in what I say… He really is a scammer! He could just kill me with his finger if he really is a demigod! There’s no need for him to use white silk to trap me! Don’t be afraid of him! He is just a crook!”

“Idiot! I have told you that God Chen is here to enjoy life! You are nothing but a puppet to him! He doesn’t even need to lift his finger to kill you! All he needs to do is blow his breath at you which would kill you hundreds of times!”

“This… But…”

Zhuang Jiuxiao still wanted to convince his family because he was sure that Chen Xiaobei was just putting on an act in front of them.

“Jiuxiao! Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense! If you bring unnecessary troubles to the Zhuang Family, you will be condemned as a great sinner for ages!”

“That’s right. Master Jiuxiao. I think you should stop talking for now. Hengfeng Zhenren is getting agitated!”

Even Elder Su began to advise Zhuang Jiuxiao. In this incident, Situ Hengfeng was forced to become the middleman. If he was angered, the friendship between him and Elder Su would be gone forever.

“Uncle! Do you believe me?”

Zhuang Jiuxiao turned around and looked at Zhuang Hao nervously.

“I will ask someone to sew your mouth together if you continue to spout nonsense like this! Your action is going to affect the survival of the family! From this seconds onwards, I ban you from saying something like that again!”

“I…”

Zhuang Jiuxiao could not figure out why no one was willing to believe what he had to say, which frustrated him. Unbeknownst to him, there was actually one person who believed him – Lan Mengchen! After regaining her composure, she was impressed by how Chen Xiaobei dealt with this matter. To Lan Mengchen, Chen Xiaobei was akin to Zhu Geliang who once sat the front door of an empty city and scared off Shima Yu’s eight hundred thousand armies with his witty mind.

……..

After that, Chen Xiaobei did not return to Bei Xuan Faction. Instead, he went back to his home and had a good rest. The second morning, Chen Xiaobei went to the film base to start playing his role in this movie production. After a few times of shooting, Chen Xiaobei was supposed to act in a costly explosive scene today which also happened to be the climax of this movie.

The lead actor wanted to avenge the lead actress. He then walked into the base of the villain alone. Unfortunately, the evil boss knew about it. A number of explosives were planted by the villains at the base to kill the actor and actress. However, none of them knew that there were explosives around them. Then, the explosion happened after the lead actor reached the deepest part of the base! In the end, the lead actor had to sacrifice himself to save the lead actress. From the fighting scenes to the explosive scene to sacrificing himself to save the lead actress, these were basically the most important parts of the entire movie.

In order to make sure every scene could be filmed in a perfect manner, most of the crew had to sacrifice their sleep to work on this masterpiece.

“You must remember where to escape! Don’t get too deep in the acting! Considering that this scene is extremely dangerous, no one would blame you if you make some mistakes!” Song Qincheng instructed.

“Alright, my sweet sister! You have told me this a dozen times now! Your voice is circling in my head! Director Feng said that this explosive scene will be separated into two different scenes. I don’t think there will be any danger. So quit nagging. How about we go to the car now for a quickie?”

“No quickie for you! Your quickie is not really a quickie! Don’t make the whole crew wait for you!”

“I can try to be fast… In one hour…”

Before he could finish his sentence, his grin was gone. His cell phone was ringing – it was Luo Puti calling him.

Chapter 670: Auction on Paradise Island

“Someone checking on you again? You can answer the call first. I’m going to check out other things!”

A kind smile could be seen on Song Qincheng’s face.

Following that, Chen Xiaobei had an odd feeling. It was as if he was caught red-handed cheating on his partner – feeling embarrassed and excited at the same time.

“Hello, honey? Finally, you make time to call me!”

“I have warned you a lot of times! Do not spout nonsense! I’m not your honey! Do you really think I will call you if my grandpa did not ask me to do so?”

“Grandpa? Is he looking for me?”

“Last time, you asked my grandpa to look for those extremely rare herb, right? He was informed that a thousand-year-old ginseng root will be auctioned off at Paradise Island. Counting from today, the auction will be held in five days’ time!”

“In five days’ time? Okay! That’s great! I’m almost done with my acting job. I’m pretty sure I can spare out some time to attend the auction!”

“Why do you need such an expensive herb? Do you know that the starting bid of the ginseng root is three hundred million U.S dollars?! That is equivalent to almost two billion RMB!”

“What the hell! That is so damn expensive!”

To his surprise, Chen Xiaobei never thought that a thousand-year-old ginseng root could cost so much! However, it was only logical that it cost so much due to its rarity. Those who could afford to spend on rare herbs like these were so rich that they could buy a country with the money that they had. With that being said, its price would eventually go higher and there would still be people who would purchase it.

“So, now you know that it’s expensive! That the starting bid of the ginseng is two billion! According to the practice of Paradise Island, the final price of that ginseng could easily become three times more expensive than the original price! It’s pointless to travel there if you don’t have six billion in your account!”

“What the hell! Six billion!”

Chen Xiaobei was rendered speechless.

“I don’t think you have enough cash with you, right? Listen to me, if it is not necessary, I think you should give up on buying the ginseng. People like us can never afford to purchase items like that!”

“Do you still remember the pill that you had last time for breaking through your cultivation? The name of that pill is called the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill. That ginseng is one of the essential ingredients to produce the pill! We would be filled with so much regret if we miss the opportunity to purchase it!”

“That is…”

Of course, Luo Puti remembered Skybreaking Cultivation Pill. This magical pill allowed her to achieve a new level of cultivation within a short period of time!

“The value of the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill can never be measured by money!”

“If that ginseng is one of the essential ingredients of the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill, we should purchase it no matter how much it costs! You have not achieved a new level of cultivation. With that pill, a lot of unnecessary troubles can be avoided in the future!”

Upon hearing Luo Puti’s reply, Chen Xiaobei was touched. Having a warm and kind heart beneath her ice-cold look was one of the reasons why Chen Xiaobei liked Luo Puti so much. Though she had already achieved True Nirvana Stage, she still remembered that Chen Xiaobei had not gone through a new breakthrough in cultivation.

“Let me take care of the money problem if you don’t have enough with you…”

Before Luo Puti could finish her sentence, Chen Xiaobei interrupted her.

“Do not worry about the money! I will figure that out!”

“Stop putting on a tough front! How are you going to earn so much money in such a short period of time? Are you thinking of robbing a bank?”

“Don’t you worry! As a man, no matter how poor I am, I will never ask for money from my woman!”

In order not to let Luo Puti advise him, Chen Xiaobei quickly said, “My scene is about to begin! Let’s talk later!”

After that, Chen Xiaobei hung up.

“I don’t believe that I will be troubled with this money issue!”

….

Every crew member, actor, and actress were ready to shoot the climactic scene after a short period of preparation. Like a general, Director Feng Yaolun was checking on his people. To him, this whole movie production was like a warfare.

“Everyone! The scene that we are about to film later is the core of the entire movie! It will be perfect if we manage to get this scene right!” Feng Yaolun shouted into a loudspeaker.

“A lot of money would be involved if we fail to get this scene right! The most important is a lot of time will be wasted as well! I want our production to be played in cinemas during Chinese New Year! People are not going to trust us anymore if we fail to deliver our promise! The so-called most anticipated movie would turn into a huge slap on our faces! Now! Here comes the real test! Are you guys ready?”

“We are ready!”

Everyone from the filming crew replied Feng Yaolun unanimously.

“Ready! Action!”

Following that, Chen Xiaobei and Tang Mengwan ran out from their designated spots in their traditional Chinese attire. At the same time, a group of villains with combat sabers surrounded them. However, they were just a bunch of extras so Chen Xiaobei and Tang Mengwan managed to defeat them easily. After that, the two of them continued to charge forward.

Few scenes later, they finally arrived at the base of the evil boss. At that moment, Zhang Zhongji brought a group of goons with him to stop Chen Xiaobei and Tang Mengwan from moving forward.

“Why are you here?!”

Tang Mengwan frowned. Her startled expression and the way she looked at Zhang Zhongji was well acted!

“Hmph! You should have known that I will come and seek revenge from the day you rejected me! And that son of a bitch! I will kill him!”

Zhang Zhongji gritted his teeth. His furious look stemmed from Tang Mengwan’s rejection. One had to say that his role as a villain with complex feelings was well acted. Of course, his hatred towards Chen Xiaobei was real! In the movie, his lover was taken away by Chen Xiaobei. In the reality, his face was slapped by Chen Xiaobei and the suppression caused him to lose all the pride that he once had!

Looking at Zhang Zhongji’s anger, Chen Xiaobei smirked and said, “Get lost if you don’t want to die!”

“Good acting! This is the pride that I want! You are doing very well for not giving a damn about Zhang Zhongji’s threat!”

*Swoosh*

Suddenly, Zhang Zhongji took out a combat saber and channeled True Qi to his body secretly!

Something was not right!
