C22 Conflict!
C22 Conflict!
"I thought you would improve by a lot. During this half a month... I only broke through to the first realm! ... In a month's time, he had broken through from the first level of the Martial Path to the fifth level of the Martial Path. Looks like it's just a joke! You've been hiding your strength, am I right?"
Xu Lei's words were taught to him by Xu Tianci.
Not only did he have to defeat Xu Feng, he also had to eliminate Xu Feng's reputation as a genius.
As long as someone believed him, no one would care about the truth.
"So that's the case... If it wasn't for young master Xu Lei mentioning it, we would have been fooled by this kid! I'm the clan's Finance Supervisor, and the spirit materials and herbs in the medicinal garden from a few years ago never met the bill. Now that I think about it, it was Xu Feng who secretly ate it, greedily increasing the strength of the Mo Family's resources. He even hid it so deeply..."
After being taught a lesson by Xu Feng, Xu Weikong had kept a low profile in the family for the past few days. But recently, his family's financial affairs director's identity had been restored.
He spared no effort in slandering Xu Feng, agreeing with Xu Lei's words.
"This kid is arrogant and despotic. We were merely having verbal conflicts, yet he used his power to bully me, seriously injuring me, and even crippling my martial arts! In the family, no one can control him... "
Xu Jing was crippled by Xu Feng, and it was his own fault. This cripple had also come to the Xu family Martial Arts Practice Field today to splash water on Xu Feng.
"The so-called genius is just a show of power! If he really is a genius, with the help of the patriarch and Master Yun, how can he not be as good as young master Xu Lei?" One of the higher ups of the Xu family said to the people around him.
Standing on the martial stage, Xu Feng looked down at his surroundings. When he heard the doubts of the people around him, his expression became solemn and cold, and he remained unmoved.
"A group of dogs who are trying to gain power, a bunch of vermin from the family!"
Xu Feng's sharp words immediately caused a huge uproar. The discussions were even louder, some of them even pointing at Xu Feng on the stage and scolding him.
"Xu Feng, you have offended the public. You are a despicable person. Even if someone is supporting you, it is only natural that you won't be recognized by the people of your family."
Xu Lei pressed his hands down and made a gesture of silence. The martial arts field immediately quieted down.
Patriarch Hong's eyes flickered and he praised, "We haven't fought yet, but the victor has already been decided. Nephew Xu Lei's prestige in the Xu family is very high. I'm afraid Young Patriarch's status must belong to him. "
As one of the major families in Celestial Wind City, the Hong family and the Xu family had been competing against each other for decades.
This time, Patriarch Hong had come here intentionally or unintentionally, and his attitude was biased towards Xu Lei.
Xu Yonghui looked at his eldest son, Xu Tianci, and his heart was filled with doubt.
If the Hong family interfered in the matters of the Xu family, then the family would be in danger!
"Xu Feng, are you mute?" Xu Lei was dissatisfied to see Xu Feng remain silent, because the feeling of revenge was not strong enough.
"No matter how many schemes and tricks you use to invert right and wrong, it is all in vain." Xu Feng walked towards the center of the martial arts stage and said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean by that?" Xu Lei frowned because Xu Feng was too calm. Xu Feng didn't feel any pressure at all from his means and the pressure from the public.
"The winner takes all, and the winner takes all. Survival of the fittest! As long as I defeat you today, these little tricks of yours will have no practical meaning!"
Xu Feng's words were firm and direct.
There was no need to explain in the face of doubt. As long as he defeated Xu Lei, it would be the best proof!
Xu Lei was infuriated by Xu Feng's attitude. He unleashed his Qi and locked onto Xu Feng with his killing intent. He didn't want to waste any more time talking nonsense.
Xu Lei moved. The sound of the wind breaking could be heard. Under the full force of his peak Martial Arts Seventh Layer cultivation base, his body flashed like a fierce tiger emerging from its cage, creating a gust of wild wind.
Xu Lei had the advantage in terms of cultivation base. If Xu Feng dodged, he would fall into a disadvantageous position. He would have to passively defend, and it would be very difficult for him to counterattack. If he took Xu Lei's attack head on, he would have to face it head on.
Looking at Xu Feng's speed, it was obvious that he had practiced a very powerful movement technique. Xu Feng simply didn't move. He circulated the Yuan Qi in his body and threw out both fists!
"Prison Suppressing Fist!"
Xu Feng's first hand was the martial skill he was most proficient in, using brute force.
Xu Lei lashed out with a whip leg and met Xu Feng's two fists. His fists and legs did not really come into contact with each other. Yuan Qi collided in midair, and the two of them separated as soon as they touched each other.
Xu Feng took three big steps back. Both of his fists were red, and the space between his thumb and forefinger split open. Blood flowed out.
Xu Lei only took one step back, and his left leg was trembling slightly.
In the first exchange, Xu Lei had the upper hand, but he had also suffered a small loss.
There was a realm difference between the two of them, so Xu Feng's performance was even more stunning.
"Prison Suppressing Fist!" Patriarch Hong's surprised voice rang out.
"But I haven't seen this martial skill for a long time. Master of Xu family, you are hiding your true strength. Such a genius has been hiding in the snow for many years. What a great plan!"
Xu Yonghui didn't respond. In Patriarch Hong's eyes, it was even more unfathomable.
"How much has this old ghost's strength recovered? He is still able to educate his descendants while he is in seclusion. It seems like we have to be more cautious."
Patriarch Hong thought to himself.
Xu Tianci and his son's slandering of Xu Feng, as well as Xu Feng's stunning performance, had caused Patriarch Hong, Hong Annshi, who had come to find out about the Xu family's background, to form a lot of connections.
Xu Yonghui was also shocked. He could see that Xu Feng's punch just now had exceeded the limit of the first level of the Prison Suppressing Fist, which was three times stronger than the first level of the Prison Suppressing Fist!
"So it's really possible!" Xu Yonghui didn't know why, but he was very excited. However, he regained his calm in an instant.
"What a good Xu Feng, this lousy martial skill, you really managed to learn it by accident!"
Xu Lei was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood!
This Prison Suppressing Fist was purposely chosen by him for the people guarding the Martial Skill Pavilion. Who would have thought that he would fall into his own trap and actually fulfill Xu Feng's wish?
"Again!" Xu Feng's combat intent surged. He crooked his finger at Xu Lei.
Xu Lei's eyes shot out a cold light. He jumped forward, both palms slapping towards Xu Feng!
A few overlapping shadows appeared on Xu Lei's palms. They covered Xu Feng from several directions.
No one could tell which direction his palms were hitting in.
Silk Twining Palm! It was a middle ranked martial art from the Xu family's Martial Skill Pavilion.
One needed to create eight phantoms in order to master the two palms. It was like a shadow following one's shadow, making it hard to guard against. The high ranked martial art, the Silk Wrapping Palm, was infinitely close to the high ranked martial art.
The most terrifying thing was that the phantom of the Twisted Silk Palm also had thirty percent of the true power of a palm.
Although this martial skill was middle-class, very few people chose to cultivate it. The cultivation of this martial skill required a large amount of resources. If one could not cultivate it to the Large Success Stage, the Secondary Palm Technique could only display the power of a Lower Tier martial art.
However, if one wanted to cultivate it to the large success stage, the amount of resources consumed was so great that practically no one could bear it.
Xu Lei's Silk Twining Palm had already reached major completion. This was one of his absolute arts, and it was rarely revealed.
When Xu Tianci saw his son use the Silk Twining Palm, a look of satisfaction and complacency appeared in his eyes.
It was not a waste to spend so many resources on his son. It was worth it for him to use it together!
Xu Feng used the Prison Suppressing Fist again to block Xu Lei's palms, but at the same time, his facial expression changed drastically. He was about to make a move, but it was too late for him to dodge.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A few muffled thuds rang out as the illusory palms struck Xu Feng. His Protective Dipper Energy was shattered in an instant.
Xu Feng flew backward, his face as pale as a sheet of paper as he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.
He had seen the Silk Wrapping Hand before, and he didn't know how powerful it was. For a moment, he had been caught off guard and had suffered severe injuries.
Xu Feng reached into his pocket and was about to take out the healing Medicine Pill to consume when Xu Tianci suddenly stood up and loudly said, "Since this is a fair competition, before the victor is decided, you are not allowed to use the healing Medicine Pill!"
This rule was targeted at Xu Feng. No one dared to ignore the Master Yun behind Xu Feng.
Xu Yonghui frowned, but he could not find any reason to do so.
In a situation where the strength of both parties was similar, the support of external objects would be the key to deciding the winner. But in this way, this competition would lose its meaning.
Not only did it have to depend on the result of the competition, but the performance of both of them during the competition was also an important reference to assess the overall potential of the school.
"Trash is trash after all. Do you only know this martial art? Xu Feng, I'll let you experience it. I have so many techniques, you trash can't compare with me!"
Xu Lei had succeeded in one move, and he felt that he would definitely win.
He pointed his fingers together, and astral energy flowed out. Yuan Qi floated at the tip of his fingers, and a glaring halo flickered with a flowing light. Xu Lei's chest suddenly contracted, and the Yuan Qi in his body shook. Another Yuan Qi of different attributes appeared.
Two streams of Yuan Qi gathered at the tip of his fingers and merged together.
Xu Feng's expression became serious. This move of Xu Lei gave him an extremely dangerous feeling!
The two streams of Yuan Qi were mixed together and could not be mixed together. At this moment, Xu Lei's hand slipped and a fist sized pale yellow stone appeared. A yellow light fused into the two streams of Yuan Qi, and the light at the tip of his finger expanded. It turned into a clump of earthen yellow 'Qi'.
"Green Mountain Finger! It's the finger technique of the Xu family's ultimate technique, the 'Green Mountain Mantra'!"
A wave of exclamations sounded. Anyone with some experience could recognize the martial art Xu Lei was using.
The Xu family had started from the 'Green Mountain Skill'. They had created a huge family and had become the prosperous family of the Xu family in the Celestial Wind City for dozens of years.
"This is the ultimate skill of the Xu family! Isn't this a skill that only the Patriarch and the heir of the Patriarch can cultivate? "
"Could it be that... the position of Young Patriarch has already been decided, and young master Xu Lei is just going through the motions?"
"The 'Green Mountain Mantra' can only be cultivated to the Minor Success Stage after breaking through to the Martial Arts Eighth Layer. How did young master Xu Lei use the 'Green Mountain Finger'? Tsk tsk... What a rare genius!" ......
At this moment, Xu Yonghui was so angry that his entire body was trembling. The way he looked at Xu Tianci was filled with anger!
Not only did he secretly pass down the ultimate technique of the family, he even gave the treasure of the family to Xu Lei. It was a huge crime to go against the teachings and rules of the Xu family's ancestors!
Xu Tianci's facial expression changed slightly. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to bear the fury of the patriarch, but after thinking about it, as long as his son defeated Xu Feng, he would become the legitimate Young Patriarch Xu.
That little bit of crime wouldn't be considered a big deal. It would only be a little earlier than that.
"Xu Lei's victory wasn't a martial one. Let's give up on this competition..."
Patriarch Hong interrupted Xu Yonghui's words, "The outcome has yet to be decided. Wouldn't it be a pity to end it in such a sloppy manner? Besides, since it concerns Young Patriarch Xu's position, how could he be so hasty?"
Hong Annshi couldn't wait for the Xu family to be thrown into chaos, causing all kinds of trouble and disruption.
Xu Tianci also quickly said, "Father, you have to act impartially! It was my fault to teach Lei'er the 'Pale Cloud Mantra'. You just have to come at me. Don't give up on the competition, no matter what the result is... "
While the audience was arguing, Xu Lei's' Pale Cloud Finger 'on the martial arts practice platform had already struck Xu Feng like a sudden clap of thunder!
