Chapter 65 - The Fight of Face
ch 65.1 – The Fight of Face
“What? Three beast tamers…?”The girl’s trembling voice reminded everyone of this fact once again. Mixed emotions flashed passed their faces. The statuses that they were so proud of were worthless in front of the Cheng’s father and son.This moment, Cheng Biyuan felt that he had finally redeemed himself.The Cheng’s has three beast tamers, they were destined to rise within Dafeng.
Once they have thought of this, the four there gasped. They looked not only alarmingly at the Cheng’s, but deep respect and fear. They knew full well that nobody could stop them from rising. Not even the top most sect, temple, palace, and valley wouldn’t dare to lift their fingers against three beast tamers.
“Well, is it you three’s turn now?” Cheng Xiao Xiao looked directly at the deacons of the Long’s, the Xue’s, and the Xu’s. Her tone was not stern, but still made the three felt disturbed.How were they so looked down on by others? They have always enjoyed special status everywhere they go, now being treated like this made them angry, but they dare not show it.But, being from powerful families from Dafeng, they still have their pride and self-esteem. More importantly, the pride of their clans. If they retreat without fighting, it would reflect poorly on their families, and they couldn’t let that happen.Xue Xingchen and Xu Yiyang subconsciously looked toward Long Yuze. Afterall, the Long’s were the head of all the families, so they were looking to him to take the lead on the situation.Naturally Long Yuze understood what they were thinking, but he also wouldn’t be able to take down mythical beasts. Afterall, he was only a martial spiritualist. He had seen what happened to Mu Qingtong, who was also a martial spiritualist. It was obvious that he wouldn’t flare any better.But a fight was inevitable. Long Yuze took a step and cupped his hands at Cheng Biyuan. Respectfully he said, “Master Cheng, I asked for a match with you. Regardless of outcome, we will still compensate any loss that the Cheng’s had suffered.”Everybody understood what he meant. He only wish to fight Cheng Biyuan, not the mythical beast.Cheng Biyuan glanced at him then looked over at this oldest daughter and asked for her opinion with his look.Cheng Xiao Xiao lifted the corners of her mouth slightly. It’d work to their advantage to ask for compensation after he had defeated all of them. Smiling she said, “Dad, we wouldn’t want to disappoint Mr. Long.”As though he’d understood what she meant, Cheng Biyuan nodded and accepted Long Yuze’s challenge, “I have long heard of the Long’s specialty ‘Eighteen Transformation of the Proud Dragon’. I do hope Mr. Long can give us a demonstration.”“Please, Mr. Cheng!” Long Yuze turned a little pale, but maintained his politeness.The clueless Ning Xunzong was ecstatic. Without thinking he shouted out, “Mr. Long, teach him a lesson for us!”SMACK!A huge slap to his face and the earth rocked. Ning Xunzong was sent flying like a piece of garbage and landed some ten feet out.Quick and ruthless! Thought everyone.And everybody’s gaze landed on the 14-year-old eldest boy of the Cheng’s.The pupil of a martial master couldn’t even put up a fight at all and was smacked right into the air!
ch 65.2 – The Fight of Face
Everbody was stunned!When Cheng Zheng Yuan appeared, he didn’t exude a strong presence. Everybody only noticed the azure wolf king. But everybody realized their mistake when they saw the slap.Perhaps he was not yet well versed as a beginning martial scholar, but the skill was certainly there! His play made other re-evaluate the skills of Cheng Biyuan.Cheng Zheng Yuan was not intimidated by the looks. With a bit ferocity, he looked at the crowd, “Anyone else not convinced, do stand out. I will gladly have a match with you!”“…..”
The crowd was silent. Even though they know that he was but a beginner martial scholar, but nobody was able to met his vicious gaze and they all turned away when he looked at them.
“Hrm…” said Cheng Zheng Yuan. He didn’t shout out anymore, but if someone were to come up front, he wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to take the person on either.Cheng Biyuan casted him an approval look. But he knew full well that nobody stood up not because they were necessarily afraid of his son, but that other than those injured, the rest of the students of School of Divine Condor were intimidated by their mythical beast. And as for Xue Xingchen and Xu Yiyang, they were martial spiritualists after all. They would never stand up and fight his beginner martial scholar son.Cheng Xiao Xiao, standing to one side, had also figured this out. She cared even less about these people.Long Yuze didn’t look too happy. His casted a sharp look at all the students of School of Divine Condor, warning them to stop being so arrogant.Then, turning back to Cheng Biyuan with a serious look, said, “Mr. Cheng, please!”“Okay!” replied Cheng Biyuan, exuding a powerful presence.The three Cheng’s sibling who were standing nearby back away to over three feet away and everybody looked intently at them.Cheng Biyuan and Long Yuze’s gaze met in midair and immediate ignited a spark. Long Yuze, surround by chi, shouted, “Pride dragon descending from the sky!”SHOO!Under everybody’s watch, Long Yuze leaped out like a thunder, his chi palpable. The sword in his hand drew a blinding, shivering cold light and, like a giant dragon, aimed straight at Cheng Biyuan.“Good one!”Cheng Biyuan was not surprised by that. A loud cry from him and the earth shook. The scary ambiance returned. When Cheng Biyuan leaped into the air, the entire atmosphere was twisted.BOOM!Without any frilliness, Cheng Biyuan swung his sword straight at his opponent. The two swords met in midair.CLANK. CLANK. CLANK.When the two swords collided, their glaring lights from them looked as though it was going to tear the sky and earth in halves. A horrific chi exploded outward with the two of them as the center.“Oh no!”Loud cries could be heard from the crowd and everybody backed away quickly. This was Cheng Xiao Xiao’s first time watching such an exciting fight in person. This was much better than any movies she had watched before.Silence. Immense silence!Everybody stared intently at the two in the air. The incredible fight made everyone forgot everything else except the fight.Everybody was rooting for someone and hoping for the desirable outcome.CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK—All everyone could hear was the metallic clanging noises made by the two swords. Suddently a voice rang next to Cheng Xiao Xiao’s ear, “Young mistress, master Cheng was a pretty skillful swordsman!”“Yuteng, do you think dad will win?”
