Peerless War God

0Even if your cultivation is heaven defying, you will need at least a few years to break through to the Martial King Stage. The injuries on my body, can only be sustained for a year at most, and by the time you reach the Martial King Stage, I would be dead already. Are you sure you're not joking? The more he spoke, the stronger the killing intent of the old man became. Fortunately, there were more people on the side, so the old man didn't dare to show too much. He was afraid that he would attract the attention of others.    

    

"Mn, you're right, I am now in the 5-Star Martial General Realm!" Chen Xiao slightly nodded, and did not deny this.    

    

"Then …" The old man opened his mouth and was about to scold him.    

    

However, Chen Xiao spoke first: "When you heard about me two days ago, what cultivation did I have?"    

    

"The 9-Star Martial Master!" The old man looked at Chen Xiao as if he was looking at a fool.    

    

But the moment he said that, his expression changed, and looked at Chen Xiao in extreme shock, exclaiming: "In two days, you broke through from the Martial Master realm to the 5-Star Martial General? "No, that's not right. That's impossible. You must have been concealing your cultivation level earlier. No wonder you were able to defeat the Fang family's people in Luo City!" The old man frowned slightly.    

    

"No, two days ago, I was indeed just using Martial Master Realm!" Chen Xiao said indifferently.    

    

Looking at the old man's gaping mouth, Chen Xiao continued: "I have the confidence of advancing to the Martial King Stage Realm within three months, but why should I treat you?"    

    

After he finished speaking, the corner of Chen Xiao's mouth revealed a faint smile, as he looked at the flushed old man in front of him.    

    

Indeed, what right did the other party have to treat his injuries?    

    

However, when he saw the items on the vendor's booth, the old man's eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly said, "You can pick any of these medicinal herbs. Even if they're insufficient, I still have them. As long as you can treat my injuries!"    

    

"Not enough! If we were to exchange for your life, these are still far from enough. " Chen Xiao shook his head slightly.    

    

The old man's face stiffened, but he opened his mouth, not saying anything. He knew that this was indeed not enough, and the price he had to pay to hire an arcane master that could cure his injuries could be said to be very expensive.    

    

He had spent a lot of money in these past few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to this border to sell what he had on him and earn a living.    

    

Seeing the stiff smile on the old man's face, Chen Xiao sighed in his heart. He immediately raised his head and said to the old man: "I can save you, but the condition is that you need to be my subordinate for three years!"    

    

"This is impossible!" The old man refused without a second thought.    

    

After all, with his previous cultivation level and pride, how could he bend the waist and be a servant to an ant that had no martial general realm?    

    

"Oh, forget it!" With that, Chen Xiao turned and walked out without hesitation.    

    

The old man was immediately dazed in place, he never thought that Chen Xiao would actually be so straightforward. He did not hesitate at all, and even did not leave any room for discussion.    

    

Although he had rejected, but he was already prepared to raise other conditions with Chen Xiao.    

    

Seeing Chen Xiao walking further and further away, the old man was truly anxious. He had finally found someone who could treat his own injuries, how could he miss it like this?    

    

Hurriedly packing up the things on the vendor's stall, the old man immediately chased after Chen Xiao.    

    

Seeing that the old man had indeed caught up, Chen Xiao's mouth revealed a smile, but his footsteps did not stop, and in the blink of an eye, he left Wuxian, directly heading back to the Chen family.    

    

Not long after he left the Wuxian, he caught up to Chen Xiao and hurriedly stopped him from speaking. "Little friend, you can still discuss the conditions, but to be a servant for three years, this is truly a bit too unreasonable!"    

    

"I didn't force you? Three years later, you will still regain your freedom, and I can guarantee that after three years, your cultivation will at least be above Martial King. Of course, whether you are willing to or not, it will depend on yourself, I do not have any intentions of forcing you to do so, and honestly speaking, if my cultivation is not too low right now, I would not even open my mouth to say that, because your cultivation is not that high. If I'm not wrong, you will at most be below seven stars in terms of Martial King, right? " Chen Xiao stopped and looked at the old man.    

    

When Chen Xiao said this, the old man's face changed once again, because Chen Xiao's guess was correct, his peak cultivation was only at six star Martial King, but to trick him into being his guard with just a few words, was simply too naive.    

    

Just that, he did not want to miss this chance. What if Chen Xiao really had a chance?    

    

Thus, the old man was at a loss once again.    

    

Right now, what was in front of him could only be described as a single thought — a single thought — a single thought — a single thought — a hell.    

    

"Have you considered it? If you don't want to, then say it yourself! " With that said, Chen Xiao walked around the old man and continued walking.    

    

The old man's expression changed again. He squinted his eyes at Chen Xiao's body for a few times, then gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, I promise you, but I have a condition!"    

    

"What?"    

    

"Within three years, I can be your subordinate and protect your safety. However, in the case of a life-threatening situation, I can't do everything I can to protect you!" As he said till here, the old man looked at Chen Xiao nervously, as if he wanted to see Chen Xiao's reaction.    

    

However, Chen Xiao did not comment, he only nodded his head, and continued to walk forward.    

    

The old man was startled, he did not expect Chen Xiao to actually agree to his request, which also weakened the old man's anger towards Chen Xiao by a lot.    

    

The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly returned to the Chen family. On the way, Chen Xiao had a thorough understanding of the old man's identity.    

    

As for his injuries, according to Jiang Wen's own explanation, they were caused by an enemy's sneak attack. Moreover, it was a chronic poison that gradually ate away at one's true essence, and he had been using his true essence to suppress it for the past half year. Now that he could not suppress it anymore, he had no choice but to sell those things in exchange for medicinal ingredients to suppress his injuries.    

    

As for whether what Jiang Wen said was true or not, Chen Xiao did not care, he was confident that there was sufficient methods to control this man, furthermore, even if Jiang Wen was extremely dangerous, so what? As long as he could use it, that was fine.    

    

Chen Xiao was not a good person, he could even be said to be righteous and evil, as long as it was beneficial to him, Chen Xiao would not reject.    

    

"You can rest in this courtyard. I've already said that no one will disturb you, so I'll be staying in the courtyard next door. If you have any questions, you can come find me. I have something to attend to, so you should rest well first!" Chen Xiao pointed to an empty house, and after he finished speaking, he turned and returned to his own house.    

    

Outside the house, Qing Xuan curiously looked at the old man outside, then quickly followed Chen Xiao back.    

    

As for Jiang Wen, he looked around his surroundings and nodded his head in satisfaction. With a light smile, he walked into the house and closed the door.
