Chapter 003 Command

What Xia Feitan used is the "pounding method"

Impressive

Seeing Chen Qian's demeanor, Xia Feitan felt that his provocation had become somewhat meaningless. He turned his head to glance at his second brother not far away and gave a slight nod.

Kill

Hmph

Whenever a son of the Xia family needs to stand on his own, they will select an industry from among the surrounding families for him to manage, thereby monopolizing a city. Xia Fei Tan intends to run a security agency business! Thus, my Chen family's security agency has obstructed his financial path, becoming a thorn in his side, destined to become the next targets like the Luo family and the Xiao family. The Xia family's rampant behavior has reached this point! Thinking of this, Chen Qian felt cold sweat pouring down his forehead, as if a chill had run from his head to his feet.

At this moment, Chen Qian recalled, a cold sweat began to bead on his forehead. His earlier actions of repeatedly striking Xia Feitan were not only a response to the enemy but also a means to vent the terror within him. The force contained in that kick just now was enough to snap his neck into several pieces, killing him instantly

Where the legs passed, the airflow swirled, unexpectedly giving Chen Qian a feeling of a strong wind blowing towards him

Amidst the shouts, a leg swept towards Chen Qian's neck like a long whip

Indeed! Although the power of the energy layer is immense and the strength is well-trained, before the legs are fully trained, the force exerted on the ground and the breath-holding layer are not significantly different. Therefore, my mobility and agility are not much different from Xia Fei Tan's!

At this moment, Chen Qian finally let out a long breath, clearly seeing the face of the person who had kicked him. As he had expected, it was indeed Xia Fei Tan's second brother, Xia Fei Jian

He could not help but scream in agony once again

"Chen Qian, do not be too overbearing!" Xia Feijian said as he walked over to help the third brother up from the ground. At this moment, it was clear that the outcome of the battle had been decided, and although the duel had ended, he felt it was inappropriate to take direct action again. "Your methods are so vicious. Our Kaiyang Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect, engaging only in gentlemanly conduct. How can we possibly accept someone as ruthless and merciless as you!"

Upon hearing the names of these two books, Chen Qian's expression changed dramatically

His bare arms, exposed outside the sleeves, exhibited a wave-like fluctuation of the skin, transmitting in rings from the shoulder to the fist. This was a manifestation of surging strength, achievable only upon reaching the level of channeling energy.

In a competition, there are naturally winners and losers; does that mean the winner is malicious while the loser is magnanimous

In an instant, Chen Qian felt a moment of daze, his heart suddenly feeling somewhat empty. Although he had already mentally prepared himself, when the reality arrived, he still felt a complex mix of emotions. It was a sense of relief, but more so, it was a subtle disappointment and a guilt for letting his mother's expectations go unfulfilled

After waiting for a moment, Xia Feitan was already somewhat dazed. Only then did Chen Qian let go, turning to face the furious Xia Feijian without fear: "Xia Feijian, what was that kick just now? Are you trying to interfere with the competition?"

Ah ah ah

Faced with such a blow, Chen Qian stood firm like a pillar, his eyes fixed intently on the fist that was thrusting directly towards him

Chen Qian, upon hearing this, was enraged to the point of laughter: "Am I being too overbearing? You act as a gentleman? That sneak attack of yours was intended to take my life right here! Is this what you call being a gentleman?"

It is indeed true that in a duel between two individuals, each will showcase their own skills

With a misstep of the feet, the body spun like a top, evading Xia Feitan's strike, and then taking advantage of the opponent's momentum from the charge, a leg swept out in response

The fist struck like a meteor, directly piercing towards Chen Qian's face

At this thought, Chen Qian exerted force once more beneath his feet, propelling himself forward like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, he actually caught up with the soaring Xia Fei Tan

In an instant, the positions of the two individuals were exchanged, with Chen Qian hiding behind Xia Feitan, while that leg was about to kick Xia Feitan in the chest

This person's cultivation is evidently quite low, yet they surprisingly hold the upper hand

Xia Feijian smiled and nodded, saying: "Since both of you are ready, let the sparring begin. He - Tu - Shu" Before his words had finished, Xia Feitan in the arena pushed off the ground with both feet and charged forward

Chen Qian has been trapped in the lock-in layer for three years, naturally leading to much contemplation. His current judgment is not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather the result of years of deduction and verification

This battle must not be lost, but...

Just as Chen Qian's fists were about to strike, a strong wind suddenly swept in from beside him

The fist shot forward with incredible speed, drawing ever closer! The power in the fist gathered more and more, and it was clear that it was about to strike!

Xia Feijian's words suddenly brought Chen Qian back to his senses. He fixed his gaze on the two brothers of the Xia family, feeling a flame of passion igniting within his heart

A kick struck directly at Xia Feitan's lower abdomen

"Say what you will, I act with integrity and have no regrets in my heart!" Xia Feijian declared with a face full of righteous spirit, "On the contrary, you, at such a young age, possess a malicious heart. Once you have mastered your skills, you will surely bring disaster to the region! You may leave now; our Kaiyang Sect will not harbor someone like you."

The Luo family ... ... the Xiao family ... ... banditry ... ... industries ... ... the eldest son and second son of the Xia family ... ... the newly opened escort agency of the Xia family ... ...

At that moment, Chen Qian's feet moved

At this critical moment, Chen Qian's fists suddenly moved, transforming from punches into claws, grabbing hold of Xia Feitan's collar, and then he swung with great force

With a cold snort, the leg that was just within reach suddenly kicked out, barely missing Xia Feitan's chest before retracting.

However, Chen Qian, seemingly oblivious, gripped him tightly, twisting his waist, turning his shoulders, and swinging his arms, pulling Xia Feitan's body down like a ragged sack, crashing it onto the ground

I had never truly fought with Xia Feitan before, but the gap in our cultivation levels was evident. Although I was only one layer behind him, in terms of skill and explosive power, I was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength, so I could not afford to confront him head-on

With a sudden thought, anger surged within him. Chen Qian clenched his fists and struck at Xia Fei, who wore an expression of pain and surprise.

Startled and still in shock, Xia Fei-Tan spoke in a trembling voice. Suddenly, he felt his body lighten, the scenery before his eyes began to swirl, and then a jolt hit his back, followed by a surge of intense pain

Bang

At this moment, listening to the tone of Xia Feitan, it seems that the extermination of these two families is somehow related to him

Xia Feijian raised an eyebrow, while the elderly man's squinting eyes beside him slightly trembled

These two families were originally prominent households in the arid region, possessing some industries. However, a year ago, they suffered from banditry, with fierce bandits storming into their homes, committing arson, murder, and plunder, leaving no survivors! Subsequently, the properties of these two families gradually fell into the hands of the eldest and second sons of the Xia family

Chen Qian's dual abilities do not exhibit the unique skin fluctuations characteristic of the Tongjin layer; however, when the heart fire surges, the intensity also increases significantly. After all, Xia Feitan's body cannot convert qi and blood, and being struck would undoubtedly result in considerable injury.

Near! Near! Near!

Command

At this moment, Chen Qian felt that whether he could enter the Kaiyang Sect was no longer important; without the skin, where could the hair attach?

As soon as he spoke, Chen Qian felt his heart leap violently, as if it were about to jump out.

The Luo family! The Xiao family!

Chen Qian remained silent upon hearing this, merely adjusting his posture and breathing in place, preparing himself

He had a face full of resentment and malice: "I originally planned to wait until I, the young master, broke through to the Qi and Blood Realm before taking action! But you have angered me! Angered me! I want you to face immediate ruin! Meet the same fate as the Luo family and the Xiao family!"

My family, the Chen family, has never provoked others, yet now your Xia family seeks to annihilate my entire clan! You actually claim it is my fate!

In the process of cultivating internal strength, martial artists must gradually refine their external energy into internal energy, progressively training their limbs and torso.

The ground trembles, and the sand grains leap

The third form of the Breaking Formation Fist, the troops split into two paths

Indeed, the defeated person had a strong cultivation and was already at an advantage. Now that they have lost, it is not the fault of the victor; this reasoning does not hold.

Looking at the somewhat dazed Chen Qian, Xia Feijian smiled and said, "Although my third brother talks a bit too much, he did speak a truth: one must learn to accept one's fate."

On the other side, Xia Fei Tan was still shouting: "Are you urging me to annihilate your entire family! Go join the Luo family and the Xiao family... this is your fate! Ugh..."

My life will not be entrusted to others

"To be reasonable is not to spare others! Xia Fei Tan has insulted me, and now that I have the opportunity to retaliate, I will do my utmost!"

Chongquan, the martial arts of the Xia family, is divided into five forms, each form being an offensive technique

A skilled warrior leverages their strengths to exploit the weaknesses of the enemy

How dare you, you insolent wretch

The onlookers surrounding the scene were all taken aback, their faces displaying a look of astonishment

This flash was perfectly timed; at the moment when the opponent's punch was fully exerted and could not be retracted, an opportunity to counterattack arose. What a skilled fighter!

The person charges forward, fists moving.

Faced with such a blow, there is almost no choice but to evade, and even with evasion, given the force of the opponent's kick, it remains questionable whether Chen Qian can truly avoid it.

Beneath the clothing on Chen Qian's chest, the red beads on the pendant began to emit a faint glow, yet Chen Qian remained completely unaware. At that moment, he felt as if the sights and sounds around him had faded away, leaving only the figures of the two brothers from the Xia family in his eyes, and in his heart, there remained only one word—

With a burst of strength, Xia Feitan let out a scream, and his entire body was unexpectedly kicked off the ground, flying back towards the direction he came from

The old man noticed the gazes of the crowd and slowly said: "What are you looking at? This matter has been entirely entrusted to my disciple Feijian. Since he has said he will not accept it, then let it be." A seemingly casual remark, yet it has the power to change a person's life.

He focused his gaze, only to see Xia Feitan struggling and shouting with all his might: "Chen Qian! You are doomed! You are doomed!"

Bang

In an instant, the image of Xia Feitan's face flashed through Chen Qian's mind, stirring his emotions and igniting his inner fire, causing a surge of energy within him, and his strength suddenly increased severalfold!

Wrong

At this moment, a piercing scream suddenly rang out, bringing Chen Qian's mind back to reality

He said ... ... does not accept ! ''

Swish

Not only Chen Qian, but also the others participating in the initiation ceremony were discussing among themselves, all glancing at the old man, for he was indeed the one who could make decisions here

Opposite Chen Qian, Xia Fei Tan, with a cold smile on his face, was slowly assuming a stance: "I didn't expect the first match to be between the two of us, Chen Erceng. I hope you can hold on for a few more punches. I advanced to the Tongjin level a year ago, and now the strength in my arms has been fully developed. If this punch lands on you, tsk tsk."

The Xia family wields significant power. If there is indeed such an intention, given the current situation of the Chen family escort agency, it would be absolutely difficult to withstand it

Chen Qian took a deep breath, his body and mind calm, focused yet relaxed, with his arms hanging loosely.

It was almost comparable to the momentum of his father's stride! Does this not mean that the strength of this leg is approaching the realm of vital energy and blood? It is absolutely beyond my ability to withstand! In the blink of an eye, Chen Qian immediately realized the magnitude of the threat he was facing

At the first strike, it was a full-force blow, clearly intended to subdue Chen Qian in one move, establishing authority in the training ground

A series of information flashed rapidly through Chen Qian's mind, like a bolt of lightning

The words that followed, due to Xia Feijian's obstruction, were ultimately left unspoken by Xia Feitan. The Xia family wields significant power, yet they cannot dominate the Northwest entirely. Some matters, even if known by all, should not be taken too far. Similarly, he does not believe that Chen Qian would be able to resist upon learning these things. The Chen family's escort agency has already become a discarded pawn due to provoking an extraordinary figure from the Daxi Dynasty.

Two ... ... two ... ... brother

I do not harm the enemy; the enemy harms me. As the two of us just engaged, I had a slight advantage, and you resorted to a sneak attack? Am I to stand still and do nothing? Moreover, it is the victor who enters the sect, while it should be the defeated who are not accepted!" As Chen Qian spoke, he turned to look at the old man who had been quietly observing.
