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!*
*Swoosh!*
*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!*
*Slap!*
*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!"
