Venerable Martial Emperor

"Feng, tomorrow will be the day of your duel with Xu Feng. Are you confident that you can defeat him?"    

    

In Xu Tianci's study, Xu Lei stood there. His Qi was more than a little stronger than half a month ago.    

    

His peak Martial Arts Seventh Layer cultivation base was full of pressure.    

    

Half a month ago, Xu Feng was just an ordinary Martial Arts Seventh Layer warrior. Xu Tianci didn't mind spending a lot of resources from the Xu family to raise his cultivation base to this level.    

    

Compared to Xu Feng, Xu Lei was only one level weaker than Xu Feng in terms of Medicine Pill. However, he had received much more support in other aspects than Xu Feng.    

    

The precious medicinal liquid and beast blood were used to bathe and temper one's muscles and bones. With Xu Tianci's personal guidance and guidance, all the fake cultivation techniques were open to Xu Lei.    

    

The eighth level of the Martial Arts Seventh Layer was a threshold that not even brute force could break through. If not for this, Xu Lei would have broken through to the Martial Arts Eighth Layer in half a month's time!    

    

Xu Lei was full of confidence. He held his head high with his hands behind his back. "Father, you really think too highly of that Xu Feng! Not to mention that my cultivation base has improved tremendously in the past half a month. Even if I still have the same strength as before, crushing him will be as effortless as blowing off dust. "    

    

Xu Tianci nodded his head in satisfaction. His eyes flickered as he said, "With the support of Master Yun's Medicine Pill and your grandfather's favoritism, there's no guarantee that this kid will cause some trouble. Be careful, you can sail for ten thousand years. Don't be careless. "    

    

"I will not give him the slightest chance! If I had known earlier that he could jump around so much, I would have decisively dealt with him a few years ago!" A ruthless look flashed across Xu Lei's eyes.    

    

Xu Tianci took a sip of tea and revealed a strange smile. "This is also a good thing."    

    

Xu Lei did not understand. What did this mean?    

    

Xu Tianci asked Xu Lei, "This kid was a useless person in the past. He was not even comparable to a servant. In just a month's time, his improvement was so fast. Haven't you thought about the reason?"    

    

Xu Lei gritted his teeth, "It must be grandfather who was biased and secretly gave him many benefits..."    

    

Xu Tianci shook his head, "This old man has been in seclusion for a long time. He only came out after Xu Feng advanced to the fifth rank of the Martial Path. I am paying close attention to him... There is no doubt about it."    

    

"Could it be that this kid has already taken Master Yun as his master? With Master Yun secretly supporting him, could he improve so quickly?" Xu Lei made another guess.    

    

Xu Tianci's expression was strange, as if his evil plan had succeeded.    

    

"I've been holding back for the past ten years, not wanting to be lenient with him. On the one hand, I was afraid of the old man, but the most important reason... Xu Feng had a lot of secrets on him, and the legacy his parents left him. As I expected, this kid must have gotten what his parents left behind. Lei'er, do you understand what I mean?"    

    

" Something that can make father pay so much attention to must be very precious, right? " Xu Lei was also in high spirits.    

    

Although he hated Xu Feng very much, he had to admit that Xu Feng's progress and performance these days had also made him feel shocked and envious.    

    

If he could get a powerful 'opportunity' from Xu Feng...    

    

Xu Tianci and Xu Lei looked at each other and understood what he meant. Both of them revealed a cruel smile.    

    

"Let him live in the competition tomorrow. As long as we chase him out of the Xu family, he will be a soft persimmon that we can knead however we want. At that time, hehe..."    

    

After Xu Tianci instructed Xu Lei, he gave him a few more orders and told him what to do.    

    

When the second day arrived, the atmosphere in the Xu family was heavy, and it could even be said that they were nervous.    

    

The competition between Xu Feng and Xu Lei not only affected the ownership of Young Patriarch Xu's position, it also affected a lot of things.    

    

In the martial arena of the Xu family, many disciples of the Xu family had arrived early, waiting for the competition to arrive.    

    

At noon, the patriarch of Xu family arrived in person, followed by Xu Tianci and a group of elders.    

    

This battle was going to be the center of attention, and everyone was looking forward to it.    

    

"Xu Lei... Young master Xu Lei is here!"    

    

"My god! Young master Xu Lei's Qi is so strong! I can't help but cry when I look at him!"    

    

"Could it be that young master Xu Lei has broken through to the Martial Arts Eighth Layer? Even if he hasn't broken through, he shouldn't be too far away from breaking through, right?"    

    

"The number one genius of the Xu family, no... He's the number one genius of Celestial Wind City! I'm afraid Xu Feng won't stand a chance against young master Xu Lei!"    

    

Xu Lei stepped out from the crowd and stepped onto the martial arts stage in the center under everyone's gaze.    

    

"Xu Feng, I'm coming! Do you dare to fight me?" Xu Lei's body was like lightning, spreading throughout the entire martial arena.    

    

The entire arena instantly became silent. Everyone was waiting for the other main character to respond and then go on the stage.    

    

But to their disappointment, no one responded. Xu Feng had never appeared.    

    

"Could it be that you don't dare to fight anymore? Come out and admit defeat. Kneel down and beg me. Perhaps I can spare your life!" Xu Lei was arrogant. On the martial arts stage, he seemed to be giving some pointers.    

    

Master Yun frowned and said to Xu Yonghui, "This kid's temperament and character... If you let him go, it won't be good for the Xu family."    

    

Xu Yonghui sighed and smiled.    

    

"It's just after noon, let's wait a little longer." Xu Yonghui said.    

    

Xu Tianci was immediately dissatisfied and raised his doubts. If Xu Feng hadn't come, would so many people still have to wait?    

    

"Then let's set a time. If Xu Feng still doesn't appear before sunset, then this competition will be considered Xu Lei's victory." Xu Yonghui said helplessly.    

    

At the same time, Xu Yonghui sent out his trusted subordinates to find Xu Feng and remind him not to disturb him. If he hadn't come out before sunset, he would warn him.    

    

"Master Yun, has Feng made any breakthrough in the past half a month?"    

    

Xu Yonghui had yet to completely cure his hidden illness, and as the patriarch of the Xu family, he had some concerns. During the half a month that Xu Feng had been in seclusion, he hadn't helped him, and he didn't know about Xu Feng's current condition.    

    

Master Yun nodded, "Last night, Feng came out of seclusion, and has broken through to the sixth rank of the Martial Path. He has stabilized his realm, and is tempering his martial skills."    

    

The two of them did not speak very loudly, and Xu Yonghui, as a Martial Essence Stage Expert, blocked the people around him, so Xu Tianci and the others could not hear the conversation between him and Master Yun.    

    

Xu Yonghui first heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at the high-spirited Xu Lei on the stage, and began to worry again.    

    

"Sixth level of the Martial Path... the gap is still huge! Master Yun, if Feng loses this time..."    

    

"Rest assured, master of Xu family. A temporary victory or defeat is nothing. I like this disciple very much. I will definitely do my best to teach him." Master Yun said.    

    

After receiving Master Yun's promise, the rock in Xu Yonghui's heart was finally lifted.    

    

Xu Yonghui didn't have much confidence in Xu Feng. He had to consider the consequences of losing before the battle even started.    

    

The people of Xu family were looking forward to the battle and were waiting. Right at this moment, a few disciples of Xu family who were guarding the gate hurried into the martial arts field.    

    

The disciples of Xu family who were guarding the gate reported the situation to Xu Tianci first before someone informed Xu Yonghui.    

    

Master Yun sighed, "The Xu family has found the instability. It's a disaster for Feng to be here, not a blessing."    

    

There were guests from the Xu family who came to pay a visit, and they were all heavyweights.    

    

There were two big families in the Celestial Wind City, and they were competing with each other. Their strengths were similar. One was the Xu family, and the other was the Hong family.    

    

Patriarch Hong and Hong Annshi had come uninvited.    

    

At this time, Hong Annshi had come to the Xu family himself, and no one knew what was going on. Xu Yonghui had called an elder over, and it was inconvenient for him to speak on behalf of the elder, so as to prevent Hong Annshi from entering.    

    

"Hahaha, Master Yun, master of the Xu family! This old man greets you!"    

    

Right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of the martial arts field. A group of people walked in. They were wearing different clothes from the Xu family.    

    

This was the voice of the leader. Although he was an old man, his face was glowing red. As he walked, he gave off a scorching hot feeling.    

    

This was a strange phenomenon formed by the ultimate technique of the Hong family, the 'Sunset Palm'. Patriarch Hong, Hong Annshi, had brought his men here.    

    

"Tianci, what's going on? !” Xu Yonghui asked.    

    

"Father, please calm down. Patriarch Hong has already informed me beforehand that he has come to watch this competition. I suppose that they won't be able to stir up any waves in our Xu family. It's fine if they come." Xu Tianci replied in a casual manner.    

    

Xu Yonghui was annoyed by Xu Tianci's decision, but now wasn't the time to denounce him. He could only bear with it and greet Hong Annshi.    

    

Hong Annshi and Master Yun greeted him politely. After that, they talked to Xu Yonghui.    

    

Xu Yonghui had been in secluded cultivation for a long time. The last time they met was a few years ago.    

    

Hong Annshi had come with many intentions. First was to investigate Xu Yonghui's cultivation.    

    

Between their words, their auras clashed in secret. After a simple test, both parties split up and took their seats.    

    

Hong Annshi looked at the martial stage in the middle of the martial stage. After observing Xu Lei for a while, he congratulated Xu Yonghui.    

    

"There are many geniuses from the Xu family, this is really enviable. After Xu Potian's death, the young generation of the Xu family had a successor. Xu Lei's potential and physique are worthy of Young Patriarch Xu's burden. "    

    

Hong Annshi praised Xu Lei. It seemed like he was here to support Xu Lei.    

    

Xu Tianci smiled and praised him.    

    

"I should be the one to inherit the son's ambition and have a successor! Who is Young Patriarch? This is an internal matter of the Xu family. No outsider has the right to tell me what to do!"    

    

At this moment, someone suddenly refuted Hong Annshi's words loudly.    

    

Xu Tianci's face turned gloomy, "Xu Feng, how can I allow you to be so impudent in front of a distinguished guest?"    

    

The people from the Xu family opened up a path. Xu Feng, who was wearing a black suit, finally appeared!    

    

Patriarch Hong's face was also filled with anger, "This is Xu Potian's son? Hehe... The Xu family Master was really good at saving his son's life back then. The son might not have the ambition to succeed the father, but the father and son would have the same fate. It's quite possible."    

    

The dignified Patriarch Hong actually cursed Xu Feng, a junior, to die a violent death.    

    

At this time, Master Yun suddenly said," Master of Hong family, Feng is my disciple. "    

    

Hong Annshi looked at Xu Feng with a strange expression, then cupped his hands towards Master Yun as an apology.    

    

"The rumors are true... Since he is Master Yun's disciple, he will definitely become a dragon among men in the future. However, this was not a good thing for the Xu family. There must be a conflict between the two Qilin sons. Let's see who wins this match first."    

    

Hong Annshi's attitude was clear that he wanted to stir up trouble. He wouldn't mind if the matter was too big.    

    

Xu Yonghui's brows furrowed even more tightly. He thought to himself, "What is Patriarch Hong's intention in coming here?"    

    

Although Xu Feng had never seen Patriarch Hong before, he knew that Patriarch Hong was the same level as his grandfather and master in Celestial Wind City. Without asking, he knew the identity of the red-faced old man sitting on the stage.    

    

Patriarch Hong was also one of the people who knew about what happened in the past!    

    

"Xu Feng, you have delayed for long enough. Go on the stage and accept your death!" Xu Lei was already impatient and hooked his finger at Xu Feng.    

    

Xu Feng sneered and jumped onto the martial arts stage.    

    

The competition for Young Patriarch Xu had officially begun!
