Chapter 111 - Its a Trick!
Chapter 111 It’s a Trick!
Swish!
A wooden sword suddenly appeared.
Chu Xun held the wooden sword and pointed it at the elder. His fighting intent soared rapidly.
Buzz!
The wooden sword whistled and gave off bright light, with its Sword Qi surging.
The elder’s aura became strong instantly, and as he turned over his hand, an octagonal bronze mirror appeared in his palm and emitted bright light. The mirror gave out chanting sounds of a dragon, and met the fierce aura of the wooden sword as equals.
Chu Xun looked at the ring on the elder’s index finger. His eyes flickered and realized it was a storage ring, which seemed to come from the cultivator behind the elder.
“Kid, are you trying to destroy my yard?” The elder held the bronze mirror in his hand and raised his eyebrows in anger. Chu Xun came to blows with him as soon as the disagreement occurred, which was really rude.
“You have two choices. Take me to see him or take several blows from me. But if you choose the latter, then don’t blame me for damaging your yard.”
Chu Xun’s battle intent had reached its peak. It seemed that he would launch a thundering attack once the elder dared to say no.
Azure Dragon was also a Grandmaster, but overwhelmed by the auras of Chu Xun and the elder, he felt his Qi and blood in chaos, which made him feel very sick.
The elder was disdainful of Chu Xun’s words. Chu Xun was weaker than him, yet he boasted to threaten him. The elder, thus, felt very angry and decided to teach Chu Xun a lesson whatever happened.
“Kid, I’ll show you that there are mountains beyond mountains and no matter how strong you are, there is always someone stronger...” the elder roared angrily.
“Cut the crap.” Chu Xun’s voice was indifferent, and the wooden sword in his hand made a light sound.
The elder fumed with anger, and the bronze mirror in his hand started to shine brightly.
Chu Xun swung his sword lightly, bringing up a light curtain, and the sword was humming.
“Come on!”
Chu Xun swung his wooden sword horizontally, and the sword radiance surged rapidly. He was in a posture to attack.
Roar...!
The octagonal bronze mirror was activated and the sounds of dragon roaring shivered everyone’s heart.
The octagonal bronze mirror shone brightly and flew into the mid-air with the sounds of dragon roaring. Chu Xun, thus, was faced with the purple and bronze mirror side.
Chu Xun could see himself in the mirror, but he found it so strange that he was turned upside down in the mirror, which looked very awkward.
“Old guy, are you doing this deliberately?” Chu Xun was displeased for he thought that the elder was deliberately teasing him.
The octagonal bronze mirror was floating in the mid-air and shone brilliantly like a small sun.
Chu Xun frowned slightly and felt himself in danger.
All of a sudden, a beam of light shot out from the bronze mirror and rushed toward him.
Chu Xun’s expression changed suddenly. The beam was so fast and soundless. However, he could feel the huge energy carried by the beam and thought it terrifying.
“This old man is playing tricks.” Chu Xun thought. He remembered that when he fought with the elder that night, it was eight golden dragons in the mirror. How could it become beam attacks now?
The next second, Chu Xun withdrew backward at a speed higher than that of sound, like a flowing light. At the same time, he infused much True Energy into the wooden sword, and there were ear-piercing sounds of sword ringing in the place.
As Chu Xun slashed down, the Sword Qi rushed away violently while shining brightly in the air, looking like the inverted Milky Way.
When the Sword Qi and the golden beam met, they made no sound.
The next moment, Chu Xun and the elder turned pale at the same time.
“Step back quickly!”
The elder roared with anxiety.
Chu Xun flew away carrying the amiable old man in his arms, like a flowing light. They crossed more than a dozen meters at a speed higher than that of sound
Azure Dragon was a powerful Grandmaster with sharp sense, so he sensed the danger long ago and ran away quickly.
The elder was retreating backward as well, at a lightning speed, while shouting, “You annoying kid, you destroyed my courtyard.”
At this moment, there were sounds of air melting in the center of the yard. After that, a ball of light appeared in the air and became bigger and bigger. Suddenly, the ball exploded.
The terrifying explosion blast spread in all directions like ripples.
Boom!
The rosewood pavilion was exploded in an instant, as well as the stone table. The old man’s favorite white-jade tea set was shattered into powders instantly.
Boom!
The pond was blown up, and the lotuses were pulled out of the mud and cut into pieces by the blast. The paradise fishes in the pond met the same fate.
The blast destroyed everything where it passed.
The tranquil and beautiful courtyard now lay in ruins.
Azure Dragon rushed away dozens of meters non-stop before he stopped. He looked at the courtyard in a mess with a dull look.
The amiable old man was dumbfounded and was in a daze. It seemed he would not come to himself within a short period.
“Kid, pay for my yard!” Looking at the ruins in front of him, the elder fulminated with anger, and the bronze mirror buzzed in his hand.
Chu Xun was startled and on the alert. The elder was so powerful that Chu Xun had to admit that he was no match for him. The just strike had consumed most of his True Energy, and he felt he would pass out if he were to launch another attack.
“Kid, do you really think no one can overpower you?” the elder seemed to be really enraged. His voice carried sound blast, and a terrifying aura rose up from his body as he glared at Chu Xun.
“You should take most of the responsibility for the damaged yard,” Chu Xun retorted and ran his Internal Breath in secret, trying to recover his strength as soon as possible.
Chu Xun admitted that he had underestimated the elder. He observed the elder, who was still in full spirit and vigor and seemed in his peak state, yet Chu Xun had consumed most of his True Energy. Chu Xun realized he was much weaker than the elder.
The elder squinted at Chu Xun and said coldly, “Are you saying that I’m to blame for the damaged yard?”
“If you had agreed to take me to see him, all this wouldn’t have happened,” said Chu Xun.
“Cut the crap, kid. I’ll teach you how to respect someone elder than you.” The elder held the octagonal bronze mirror in his hand, and his Internal Breath surged. The sounds of dragon roaring came from the mirror again.
“Since you want to fight, let’s get on with it!”
Chu Xun was not willing to show his weakness at the moment. He raised his wooden sword and infused his True Energy into it. The blade emitted golden light, looking like a gold sword. Sharp Sword Qi burst out, and the sword started to ring.
Chu Xun’s expression was indifferent and his eyes were clear.
He did not deny that the elder’s cultivation was unfathomable, but it was just the elder’s wishful thinking of teaching him a lesson.
Chu Xun might not be as powerful as the elder, but even ten elders were not his match in terms of skills. With his current cultivation, he could set up a second-level superior magic formation easily.
Once the fight began, he would set up a Killing Formation, which was tough for the elder to handle.
Chu Xun was eager to have a try. He really wanted to see if he could trap the elder with his formation.
The elder looked at Chu Xun suspiciously and sensed that Chu Xun’s aura had changed. He could tell that Chu Xun was very confident at the moment. “This kid has so many weird skills. Is he thinking about playing tricks again?”
The elder hesitated, and his powerful momentum gradually became weaker.
“Let’s fight!”
Chu Xun’s tone was indifferent, and he was ready to slash down.
“Elder Long, my little friend Chu Xun, please stop fighting, please.” The amiable old man finally came to himself, and seeing that they were about to come to blows again, he hurriedly stopped them.
The amiable old man felt dizzy when he saw the yard in ruins and the wall collapsed as if a cannonball had exploded there. He wondered if the power of human beings really could cause such destruction and realized that Chu Xun and the elder were even more powerful than some large-scale thermal weapons.
The fact appeared so terrifying to him. He knew Elder Long and some secret history, yet he was still shocked by the destructive power.
Azure Dragon also felt dizzy and frightened. It seemed that Chu Xun was even stronger than he had imagined.
“Elder Long, my little friend Chu Xun, both the two of you are capable men, so don’t act so recklessly. Isn’t it good for the two of you to sit down and talk?” the amiable old man tried to persuade them. He felt very upset that he was the top official of the country, yet he was more like a peacemaker.
Both Chu Xun and the elder knew that they could not continue fighting at the point.
The elder gave a cold snort and walked aside to sit down, but he found that the whole yard was in ruins and he could find no place to sit down. Thus, he became even angrier.
Chu Xun looked indifferent and squinted at the elder while he walked to sit down on the ground.
The elder looked surprised and then followed suit. He tossed his sleeves, blowing away the dust on the ground, and then sat down.
“Kid, you have to pay for my yard,” the elder muttered.
Chu Xun was slightly stunned. The elder’s words reminded him of something, so he immediately sent a text message of two lines of numbers to Chen Hanlong.
The numbers were the bank account number and password of Blood Wolf’s Swiss bank account, and Chu Xun got to know this when he used Soul-searching Technique on Blood Wolf.
“Don’t worry, Elder Long, leave it to me.”
Seeing that Chu Xun did not reply, the amiable old man felt helpless and said he would pay for the yard.
“No, this kid must take responsibility for it,” the elder said with a sullen face.
The amiable old man was confused by the elder’s attitude. In his opinion, everything would be ok as long as the yard was repaired. He thought the elder so different from the composed, calm, and wise man he used to know.
Yet, Chu Xun understood the reason for the elder’s anger. What broke the elder’s heart was the destruction of the small magic formation in the yard, not the yard itself. Moreover, only cultivators had the ability to set up a magic formation.
Shrewdness flashed within Chu Xun’s eyes. He guessed that the cultivator behind the elder had to be very powerful, so it should be easy for that man to set up another magic formation in the yard; then, why the elder insisted that Chu Xun pay for the damaged yard? Could it be that...
Chu Xun speculated the cultivator behind the elder to be in trouble.
“Take me to see him. Maybe I can help,” Chu Xun stared at the elder and suddenly said.
The elder was slightly amazed and his expression suddenly changed. He had not expected Chu Xun to utter those words.
Staring at Chu Xun, he wondered if Chu Xun really knew something or was just bluffing him.
“What can you do with your weak cultivation?” The elder asked in a scornful tone deliberately, trying to sound Chu Xun out.
However, the elder did not know that after hearing his words, Chu Xun confirmed that he guessed right.
Chu Xun looked at the elder with bright eyes and said, “You should know, except me, no one can help him.”
The elder trembled slightly, and one would not notice it if he did not pay close attention to the elder, but Chu Xun did not miss the elder’s reaction.
“You’re very meticulous and sensible, my little friend. That’s laudable.” The elder praised Chu Xun, and his aura changed. He looked dignified even without putting on a solemn face.
Azure Dragon lowered his head, and his face looked more respectful.
The amiable old man laughed and his aura changed as well. He gave out a stronger sense of dignity as a man in power.
Chu Xun looked calm and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. “These two men are really good schemers. Ever since I stepped into this yard, they have tried to test me at least three times. If I had shown any trace of weakness, I would have been tricked by them now.”
“This elder has unfathomable power, so how could he be a man who would show all his emotions on the face?”
“This amiable old man is a monarch with the military power of a country and has been in power for long. How could he be a feeble man?”
“My little friend, you are not only sensible but also has great courage and insight,” the amiable old man praised Chu Xun without reservation.
Chu Xun raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “Don’t flatter me. Come straight to the point.”
The two old men looked at each other and laughed.
“We want the Pulse Thunder Gun in your hand,” the amiable old man said directly.
Chu Xun said with his eyes smiling, “No problem.”
The two old men were surprised. According to what they had known about Chu Xun, Chu Xun was a man who would never give up until his goal was reached, so it was strange that Chu Xun consented to their request so quickly this time. They doubted that Chu Xun had his own request.
Just as they had thought, Chu Xun pursed his lips and said, “It looks like the two of you have nothing good to exchange with me for that gun, then how about you give me 10 billion yuan for it?”
Ten billion yuan?
The elder and the amiable old man widened their eyes greatly and thought Chu Xun had demanded a really sky-high price.
“People like you and I should have our minds settled as still water and looked upon money as dirt. How could you let these secular things influence your mind during cultivation?” The elder despised Chu Xun.
Chu Xun raised the corner of his mouth and said with a meaningful expression in his eyes, “I’m sorry, but I’m not as lofty as you who could regard money as dirt. After all, people all love money. So I admire you very much. Since in your eyes, money is like dirt, then ten million yuan must be nothing to you, right? If that’s the case, give me the money and I’ll give you the gun.”
The elder’s face turned blushed with embarrassment, and he was struck dumb. He had wanted to goad Chu Xun into giving up the ten billion yuan, yet it turned out that he shot himself in the foot.
