551 Wind and Lightning, Come to My Aid!
*Blarrgghh*
Li Xiang spat out a mouthful of blood. He was tossed backward by the force and landed in front of Chen Xiaobei. An ending like this was expected by everyone. Dongtiao Wugui might not be able to defeat Li Xiang if it was a one-versus-one battle. However, with the help of the Octadic Spectral Squad, he managed to defeat Li Xiang with a crushing blow!
"Are you okay?"
Chen Xiaobei bent down and asked. Actually, he already knew the answer before asking this question. With his medicinal skill and Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes, he could see that Li Xiang was hurt badly. The nerves on his right arm were damaged, multiple bones were cracked, and the crushing impact damaged his right lung as well. He would definitely be killed if he were to face off Dongtiao Wugui one more time.
"I'm okay! Blame my bad luck if I die from this battle!"
Li Xiang gritted his teeth. Using all his strength to stand up, he wanted to charge at Dongtiao Wugui again.
"Don't go. Drink this and I'm willing to listen to the thing that you want to tell me after this matter is settled!"
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei took out a bottle of the Hundred Herbs Potion and handed it to Li Xiang. Needless to say, Li Xiang's 'willingness to die' kind of sincerity had already touched Chen Xiaobei's heart. Though Chen Xiaobei might not trust him fully, it was at least a successful attempt.
"Alright… I will drink it. Then, I will fight again!"
Taking the Hundred Herbs Potion, Li Xiang finished it without taking a second look at it.
"You don't have to fight anymore. Just leave Dongtiao Turtle to me!"
Chen Xiaobei tapped on Li Xiang's shoulder and strode towards Dongtiao Wugui alone.
"Are you crazy?!"
Bewildered, Li Xiang could not figure out what was going on in Chen Xiaobei's mind. To him, Chen Xaiobei might not even be able to defeat a single member of the Octadic Spectral Squad. Let alone the combined strength from the squad and Dongtiao Wugui! Actually, everyone from the crowd shared the same thought as well.
"Son of a b*tch! Even the vampire that you hired is afraid of me! Where the hell did you find the guts to act tough in front of me? Have you not heard of the saying, stop pretending and you shall live! Hahaha…"
Dongtiao Wugui and the Octadic Spectral Squad laughed aloud. Having the confidence to defeat anyone here, they did not rush to make a move on Chen Xiaobei. All they did was watch him as though he was the clown of the day.
"My lady, that dummy is going on a suicide mission!"
Qiao'er pouted and gave Chen Xiaobei an exasperated look.
"The combined strength of that group is just too powerful for me to handle… At most, I can only influence the battle to end in a draw… If the battle drags on, I will definitely lose due to my current state…"
The masked lady did not bother to listen to her servant. Her pair of beautiful eyes were filled with worry. Initially, she thought that she could at least keep the battle under control with her strength. Somehow, the whole situation went out of control and was now a dead end! No one in the crowd possessed the strength to defeat them; leaving Dongtiao Wugui and the Octadic Spectral Squad the power to play god!
"That kid really is crazy! I have not seen someone walking towards an enemy that is impossible to be defeated!"
"On the other hand, the kid is pretty damn bold! He chose not to bow down to the stupid Japanese! With that, he deserves my compliments!"
"That's true! I wouldn't have the courage to deny them if I'm in his place!"
"I will no longer disagree with him setting up his own faction if he can survive this challenge!"
"I really hope that he can come up with something to defeat them! If not, it will not end well for us too!"
...….
The crowd was smart enough to realize the fatality of this event. After all, their opponents were ninjas that came from Japan. Plus, faction leaders Tan and Mu had offended Dongtiao Wugui. China would be on the losing end if an all-out war broke out. With that being said, Chen Xiaobei became their only hope. Things would turn really ugly if he could not defeat those ninjas.
"Bunch of idiots! Just shut the hell up! Mr. Dongtiao and the Octadic Spectral Squad are extremely powerful! Even an idiot will not believe that that kid can defeat them! Apologizing to Mr. Dongtiao is the only way out!"
The crowd was rendered speechless after hearing Elder Qiu's speech. Hoping that Chen Xiaobei would somehow defeat them was definitely a good wish but reality was always cruel. The power gap between Chen Xiaobei and Dongtiao Wugui was just too huge. Saying that he could defeat Dongtiao Wugui was like hoping a baby could defeat an adult! It was simply not possible! However, the crowd was still holding up; none of them yielded. To them, Chen Xiaobei was the only hope. Though that hope was small, the crowd would not give up until the hope was extinguished.
'Chen Xiaobei! All hope is on you now!"
As they stared, focusing on Chen Xiaobei, the crowd held their breaths and waited for a miracle to happen.
"Kid, are you tired of your life?"
Dongtiao Wugui did not say a single word. Acting like a dog, Elder Qiu started to bark at Chen Xiaobei for no reason. This was one true traitor of the country!
"I think you have lived too long in this world!"
Chen Xiaobei said in an ice-cold manner while glaring at Elder Qiu. People like him was actually worse than those Japanese!
"F*ck! I dislike you from the very beginning! How dare you make me angry?"
Elder Qiu scolded. Immediately, he put on a disgusting smile and said, "Master Dongtiao, I think you should let me teach this bastard a good lesson!"
"Great. It's good that he can learn a lesson from this incident! Remember! I want him alive!"
"Yes!"
Putting on a grim smile, Elder Qiu immediately channeled all his True Qi to his body.
"Mr. Chen! Step back! You are going to die! Leave this old bastard to me!" Li Xiang shouted.
"Hehe… It's not like you can defeat him in this battle. Don't come here. You will die." said Chen Xiaobei with a smile. As usual, he acted really calm.
"Gramps, you can't fight anymore! The Japanese will target and kill you if you take on this old bastard!"
Li Yunlin ran to Li Xiang secretly and tried to talk him out of it.
Standing there like a statue, Li Xiang could not deny the fact that he would lose the battle. All he could do was stare at Chen Xiaobei's back and mumble, "Alright! I will trust you! I know I'm not wrong in doing so!"
"Bastard! Are you planning to beg for your life?" Elder Qiu shouted haughtily, using his silver True Qi to form ten swords, then pointing them at Chen Xiaobei.
"This is it… I have to do something about it…"
The masked lady was really nervous. She thought Chen Xiaobei would surely be crippled if she did not go and rescue him.
"This is my territory! Only people will beg at me not the other way round!"
He then did something with his mind. Calmly, he said, "Wind, rise! Here comes the lightning!"
