Chapter 644: Dare?
Yuan Cheng died.
In a one-on-one fight, he died under Bai Wei’s sword.
With so many people watching, Bai Wei’s victory was an undeniable fact. He couldn’t match his opponent’s skills, and the duel was a matter of life and death.
The young Martial Saint defeating the legendary Dragon King at its peak was hard to believe, yet it was the truth.
Even with Xia Longque’s Heroic Spirit Principle assisting him, he still won quite easily. If Xia Longque had fought personally, it would have been hard to guarantee a win without showing real skills.
Not all heroic spirit disciples can be as powerful.
The strongest of Martial Saint level experts are reluctant to become disciples, reaching such a level is unprecedented, perhaps unparalleled.
The Dragon clans didn’t show much joy upon seeing Yuan Cheng’s death, rather a sense of grief. Despite the battle to the death being fair and honorable, they mourned the loss of another Dragon King. Yuan Cheng, being a poor leader but not inherently evil, was betrayed by his son.
Lords Qiantang and Dongting each had several children, staring at Yuan Cheng’s body in contemplation, thinking of their own offspring… Perhaps they had been neglecting their training lately and needed to try out their newly bought belts for practice.
Yuan Cheng’s death should serve as a lesson; the Dragon clans have not lost a Dragon King in many years.
Lu Yunchuan felt a tinge of jealousy, thinking Major General Xia was very lucky to have such a talented child.
Xia Longque knew things weren’t like that, but she still said confidently, "It must be done."
Lu Yunchuan joked and asked, "When are you planning to have the wedding banquet?"
Xia Longque replied calmly, "…I will definitely invite you when the time comes."
Lu Zhongjiang raised his eyebrows, cleared his throat and said. Alright, this battle is over. Let’s each go back home now, everyone… If interested, maybe we can go to a nearby restaurant. I’ll treat.
It was certain that the Ming Country would handle the aftermath, Bai Wei was qualified for this task now. By using Xia Longque’s Heroic Spirit Principle, he had accepted the role of apostle. He must be quickly removed from this place to prevent any further complications.
Unfortunately, this was Hongze.
Another black dragon emerged from the water and roared proudly, "Since you’re here, don’t be in a hurry to leave!"
Its gaze locked onto the young man in white with a hint of blood, "You must stay in Hongze today and explain yourself!"
Lu Yunchuan exclaimed, "The life and death contract has already been signed, Lord Hongze’s words don’t make sense."
Lord Hongze coldly laughed, "The life and death situation has nothing to do with it. Elder brother died in battle, I have nothing much to say. Being less skilled, I will not insult elder brother’s death. However, he killed Water Lord Shao Bo and kidnapped my daughter-in-law. This is a definite fact, it’s also unreasonable. Shouldn’t I be given an explanation for this?"
At this moment, Lord Qiantang and Lord Dongting both heard this for the first time.
Lord Chaohu was speechless, "Indeed, there is no way around it."
When Bai Wei chose to engage in battle at Hongze, he should have expected this result. Even if he won, Lord Hongze would not let him leave.
… Yet he specifically chose the battlefield, so what exactly was his intention?
Lu Yunchuan was most puzzled by this.
"As for this matter…" he tried to divert the conversation.
"It was me," Bai Wei calmly faced Lord Hongze and said. What’s the matter?
He admitted it, because it was indeed his doing, and a real man should be able to admit it.
The young man spoke calmly, "Water Lord Shao Bo deserved to die. It was doing business with the evil practitioners of the Animal Transformation Art. I caught it red-handed and when it tried to resist, I decisively struck it down with my blade. We, who wield the sword, uphold peace in the world. What is there to object to? Doesn’t Dragon Lord know this?"
Dragon Lord Hongze sneered coldly, "Words alone are not proof."
"The evil practitioner of the Animal Transformation Art didn’t die, it is now in the hands of the Nineteenth Bureau, going through procedures. If you need, I can check the relevant documents." Xia Longque had learned about this from Bai Wei earlier. Her seemingly light words carried great weight, "If this matter is true, the Water Lord actually did such a thing, Dragon Lord Hongze, aren’t you being too negligent in managing your subordinates? Shouldn’t you provide an explanation to us?"
Lord Hongze’s face turned serious as water. Of course, it knew, but… bringing the truth to light would not be favorable to it.
However, it was not afraid of the so-called explanation from the Ming Country. As long as Hongze was there, the Ming Country couldn’t touch it.
"Well…" Lord Hongze said coldly, "What about Xue Hanlei?"
The Black Dragon growled, "She is the legitimate wife I married, escorted from Jinling City back to Hongze. You abducted her on the way. With such actions, do you have any moral high ground left? Do you have any reason to defend yourself?"
This topic was a bit provocative. Stealing someone’s wife?
Lord Qiantang asked in surprise, "Lord Chaohu, how can you tolerate this? Don’t you hate this kind of plot the most?"
Lord Chaohu calmly said. I choose not to give my opinion.
Lord Dongting said. I have a rough idea of your attitude now. However, even if there is a wedding in the horizon, kidnapping Red Whisker is not justified. This act is unreasonable. Let’s hear his explanation.
"Explanation?"
Bai Wei, with a sharp tone, said. I don’t need to explain anything. I will just take what I want!
Stepping forward, his confidence rose, dispersing the bloody mist and water vapor, asserting his dominance.
After slaying the Dragon King, his martial arts skills improved once again. The more he killed, the stronger he became, gaining valuable experience.
The young man sneered, exuding the aura of an emperor and the killing intent of a Martial Saint, his voice echoing across Lake Hongze.
"Do I need to explain myself to you?"
"Who do you think you are?"
"After hiding in Hongze Lake for so many years, has the person gone crazy?"
"Don’t just talk about one Xue Hanlei, even if there were ten or twenty, I could still snatch them all. She’s living a dull life here, waiting for her beauty to fade away. It’s better for me to take her back, especially since I don’t have a wife yet."
"The laws of Ming Country say you can’t steal someone’s wife, but unfortunately… you are not even a person of Ming Country. Sorry, you are not protected by the law."
"Even the law can’t criticize me, can’t judge me. You, a third-grade protected animal, are quite arrogant, aren’t you?"
Bai Wei’s words were half true, half mocking, half venting, and half serious.
Xue Hanlei suffered in Hongze Lake for so long, no one cared about her voice, no one spoke up for her.
So, it’s up to me to speak up.
Killing Water Lord Shao Bo is a high-profile mission, but snatching Xue Hanlei, it’s fine even if it’s low-profile. If we want to snatch her, let’s do it!
Bai Wei burst into laughter, talking nonsense, his sneer filled with a cold and fierce intent.
"Still questioning, still justifying, still don’t leave… If I want to leave, can you stop me?"
"You arrogant fool, don’t think I’ll play any more political games with you. Compromise, compromise, I’ll compromise my ass."
"I came here holding a sword, can you see it clearly? Your brother’s body is right under my feet!"
"Are you going to hit me? Come on, try it, I’ll stand still and let you make the first move, do you dare? With a flushed face and a thick neck, as if you were going to make a big scene, but ended up just shouting a bit, almost making me die of laughter on the streets of Shenyang. Why don’t you make a move, you have more than enough courage for life and death challenges."
He said coldly, "Enough of the nonsense, step aside… my sword is eager for action."
Silence, a heavy silence.
Arrogant, insolent, domineering… shedding the demeanor of a gentleman, tearing off the cloak of a Martial Saint, displaying a rude attitude as if a wild barbarian was entering.
Because elegance is for friends, savagery is for enemies.
Lord Qiantang, "Holy crap."
"Maybe…" Lord Dongting touched his nose, "These are young people, aren’t they?"
"Out of anger for love." Lu Yunchuan felt very pleased, his mouth involuntarily lifted, teasing his old friend, "He seems serious, your daughter seems to be losing a lot."
Lord Chaohu decisively changed the subject, "Lord Hongze’s face is all black now, hahahaha!"
Hongze Dragon Lord’s face was indeed all black, although he was originally a black dragon, but at this moment his face was as black as charcoal, growling low continuously.
The water of Hongze Lake started rising, gritting its teeth, "How dare you…!"
Bai Wei strummed the sword, a humming sound rang out, along with a strong chilling intent.
Hongze Dragon Lord held back all his words, feeling like he was facing a great enemy.
"You seem to have prioritized wrong."
"The one who can speak loudly now…is me!"
"I am also qualified to make conditions!"
"This is my final warning, if you don’t move aside, I will really force my way in."
Bai Wei’s expression was serious as he calmly gazed at Dragon Lord Hongze, throwing out a paper that glowed brightly under the moonlight.
"This is a life-or-death challenge. Do you dare to sign it?!"
