Peerless War God

0Faced with Chen Xiao's terrifying pressure, both Li Xuan and Li Haoran were shaking left and right, like duckweed in the wind. They were extremely weak.    

    

Li Xuan's face flushed red. He used all his strength to resist Chen Xiao's might.    

    

Zuo Zhao watched from the side, revealing a gloating expression.    

    

Are these two idiots? They actually dared to speak rudely to their captain. If Li Zhan was here, it would be fine, but Li Xuan and Li Haoran were not qualified at all.    

    

Moreover, he could tell that this matter was not simple at all.    

    

The dark shadow that was found by the captain with a secret technique was the source of all the chaos.    

    

Was it the Dark Shrine? If Li Hongzhong really had something to do with the Dark Shrine, then Li Xuan, who was just a mere Li Xuan, wanted to save someone. It was no different from a fool's talk.    

    

"Hmph."    

    

At this moment, Chen Xiao's expression turned cold. He silently withdrew his pressure and looked at the two of them as if nothing had happened.    

    

Li Haoran smiled bitterly and cupped his fists. He said, "City Lord Chen Xiao is really capable. As expected of a young genius. You broke through to the Immortal Realm at such a young age. I admire you."    

    

Li Xuan's expression was bitter, but he did not admit defeat at all.    

    

He stuck his neck out and stared at Chen Xiao. He said in a deep voice, "Chen Xiao, you are indeed very strong. I am inferior to you, but Li Hongzhong is my uncle. He is the person my father wants to save. Isn't it a bit too reckless of you to do this?"    

    

Apparently, Li Xuan wanted to use his power to bully Chen Xiao.    

    

Although Li Zhan was also an Immortal Realm expert, his strength was far above Chen Xiao's. Li Xuan did not believe that Chen Xiao would be afraid of him at all.    

    

If that was the case, what was the difference between him and a hothead?    

    

This was Li Xuan's greatest confidence.    

    

Seeing this, Li Haoran did not stop him. He just lowered his head with an extremely ugly expression.    

    

Not long ago, they had received news that the Valley City had been destroyed by two Immortal Plundering Immortals and a great battle had broken out between Li Hongzhong and them. They had captured him and learned that something bad had happened.    

    

Almost at the same time, Li Xuan also received the order from Li Zhan to go and settle this matter to save Li Hongzhong.    

    

He had thought that it would be a simple matter, but it seemed that the matter was even more complicated than he had imagined. What was the reason?    

    

For a moment, he could not figure it out, but he vaguely thought of some rumors.    

    

After hearing this, Chen Xiao cupped his fists and said to the sky, "I respect the Battle King, but there are some things that cannot be tolerated."    

    

His eyes turned cold and he did not back down.    

    

One had to know that the mysterious black shadowman who had sneak attacked him almost succeeded. If he did not have a powerful clone or a backup plan, he would have been killed by the black shadowman.    

    

This made Chen Xiao hold a grudge in his heart. His killing intent soared to the sky. How could Li Xuan resolve it with a few words?    

    

"You..." Li Xuan's eyes turned red from anger and he was about to explode.    

    

He felt extremely humiliated. He had been completely disdained and looked down upon.    

    

Since he was young, he had never been humiliated like this. For a moment, he found it hard to control himself.    

    

When Li Haoran saw this, he immediately stopped him and tried to smooth things over. "City Lord Chen Xiao, the Young Master and I came here in the name of His Highness. Can you please show us some mercy and let Li Hongzhong go? He has angered you, so I apologize on his behalf."    

    

Under Li Haoran's comforting words, Li Xuan calmed down and clenched his fists in silence.    

    

He had come here to see Chen Xiao. He wanted to see how high Chen Xiao's cultivation had risen since the day he had met him.    

    

Secondly, and most importantly, he had come here to represent the Battle Palace.    

    

He believed that even if Chen Xiao had broken through to the Immortal Realm and his strength was extraordinary, he would still give face to the Battle Palace and let Li Hongzhong go.    

    

However, the current situation made him feel embarrassed and confused.    

    

Chen Xiao chuckled and did not give an affirmative or negative answer.    

    

"Li Hongzhong's mouth isn't very clean. He said some unpleasant words."    

    

Chen Xiao said calmly as he looked at Li Xuan.    

    

"..." Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and his face darkened. He glared at Li Hongzhong fiercely and cursed in his heart.    

    

Humph, he was really a failure. He had been caught for committing a crime, but he still dared to scold someone. It was fine if he scolded someone, but he had actually escaped and ended up in the hands of the other party. No wonder he had been beaten into a pig's head.    

    

For a moment, he sighed in his heart and somewhat understood Chen Xiao.    

    

After all, for powerful experts like them, who could move mountains and fill seas with a wave of their hands, their dignity was extremely important.    

    

"Is there such a thing?" Li Haoran glared at him angrily, almost spitting fire, glaring at Li Hongzhong.    

    

You old thing, you're just looking for trouble.    

    

The principle of being able to correct one's mistake and being able to stand up straight after being beaten up, don't you understand?    

    

Li Haoran sighed in his heart. He hoped that Chen Xiao would be forgiving today. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would really have to ask the prince to take action.    

    

"Heh, you can ask him yourself." Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.    

    

The two of them looked at Li Hongzhong at the same time. The latter had a pig head like expression, and his face was covered in blood. He was in a sorry state, but he did not dare to refute at this time.    

    

He was arrogant, but it did not mean that he was stupid. In fact, deep fear had even appeared in his heart.    

    

He felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, and he could not remember it no matter how hard he tried. Moreover, that matter was very important to him.    

    

At this moment, Li Xuan and Li Haoran had personally come to ask for him, but they had all met with failure in front of Chen Xiao.    

    

He knew that his life was in Chen Xiao's hands. Although he also knew that Chen Xiao did not dare to take his life, if a cultivator wanted to torture someone, there were countless ways.    

    

"I, I..." Li Hongzhong muttered and did not speak anymore.    

    

"You, you are a failure." Li Haoran was a little angry when he saw this.    

    

After that, he bowed to Chen Xiao and apologized, "City Lord Chen Xiao, I'm sorry. This is the fault of the Battle Palace. When I return, I will definitely punish him severely."    

    

Chen Xiao smiled and pointed at Zuo Zhao.    

    

"I'm not apologizing to him, I'm apologizing to him."    

    

Li Haoran lowered his head and became stiff. He was embarrassed and could not speak. He knew that Chen Xiao was making things difficult for him.    

    

With his identity and status, as a famous sword immortal in the Battle Duke Palace, it was fine if he apologized to an immortal-level expert who was much younger than him.    

    

However, if he apologized to Chen Xiao's subordinates, it would be a bit embarrassing.    

    

"Chen Xiao, don't go too far." Li Haoyao could not bear to watch anymore and scolded him.    

    

Chen Xiao's eyes were cold as he glared at him. "Hmph, I don't have any other good points, but I love to protect the weak."    

    

"And her. That old bastard cursed her a lot. What do you think, the two of you?"    

    

Zuo Zhao's face was full of confidence as he pointed at Fu Xue, who was at the side, and gloated.    

    

With Chen Xiao supporting him, he suddenly felt very confident.    

    

"Captain." Fu Xue saw all of this and felt honored. She felt warm in her heart.    

    

Sometimes, a small action was enough to be remembered for the rest of her life.
