Therefore, the higher-ups think that we can pretend to cooperate for now.

Once our Flag Leader has successfully advanced, the situation will be much easier to handle.

Even those big shots in the state city will no longer dare to point fingers at us.

This incense hall gathering was organized exactly to arrange this matter.”

“So that’s it.”

Chu Xisheng’s expression cleared, but he felt discontented inside.

At this moment, the boats from both sides had approached to less than one li apart.

Chu Xisheng’s mind stirred slightly, and then, with his hand on his long sword and a smile that was not quite a smile, he said, “Isn’t this Young Master Long Heng of the Long Family?

What a coincidence!

Recently, I have always wanted to settle some old scores with you.

Lucky for me, I happened upon you today.”

The full-moon-like face of Long Heng twitched slightly.

Unless he were deaf, he could not miss the provocative tone in Chu Xisheng’s voice.

“Indeed, a coincidence!”

Long Heng’s already cold and cutting gaze met Chu Xisheng’s like a clash of gun and sword, though he spoke in a calm tone: “Speaking of old scores, my second brother also died because of you, and I have always remembered that.

However, our families’ agreement was witnessed by two Lords Governor and the Inspector.

What do you intend to do about it?”

Chu Xisheng responded with a derisive laugh: “This is a personal grudge between us.

What does it have to do with the Iron Banner Gang?

When you were negotiating peace, my Uncle Kuang didn’t overstep his bounds by agreeing to turn our enmity into friendship on my behalf, did he?

“Back in the Ancient Market, you tried everything to take my life.

How domineering you were then!

Why are you acting all cautious and scared now that we are face to face, fearing the rules?

Could it be that you are frightened?”

The complexion of Long Heng turned a steely blue, and his grip on his sword showed bulging veins.

He really did not want to clash with Chu Xisheng at this time.

The business of the Long Family had been interrupted for half a year, and they urgently needed to sell their stockpiled goods to alleviate the financial strain at home.

More so —

As Long Heng glanced at the indifferent Ye Zhiqiu behind Chu Xisheng, he felt a tingling in his left arm.

However, it was clear that Chu Xisheng was abusing his power, getting too big for his boots.

Even with Long Heng’s astuteness, he couldn’t suppress the flames of anger in his heart.

“In the past, you forced me into the Fire Bone Cave and trapped me there for several days.

I have always kept this grudge in my heart,” Chu Xisheng said, his eyes flashing with a sharp ferocity: “I cultivate the Vengeful Blade Intent, which emphasizes ‘repaying kindness and revenging wrongs.’ Our scores need to be settled today.”

As his words fell, he had already leapt from the deck.

By now, the distance between the two boats had closed to less than fifty zhang.

With the Seventh Level Light Cloud Jump and the Sixth Rank Time Instant Shadow Body, Chu Xisheng could easily cross this distance.

Chu Xisheng’s figure was light, but as he soared above the massive ship of eight thousand materials [measure of ship size], his Gentle Wind Thunder Blade in hand was sharp enough to sever all.

“Scum!”

Long Heng laughed in anger, his robe fluttering without any wind: “Since you seek death, I shall grant it.”

The Iron Madman is invincible in Xiushui, which Long Heng cannot help but fear.

That instructor Ye Zhiqiu from Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, whose combat power has reached Fifth Grade Upper, was also on the opposing ship, making him extra cautious.

But what was Chu Xisheng?

Daring to provoke him openly, simply because he had the backing of Iron Madman and Ye Zhiqiu!

This man, listed among Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers, indeed made a name for himself worldwide.

Yet, he was after all just a mere Seventh Rank.

Defeating a few teenagers of the same age and being flattered by others, he couldn’t see what he really was!

Without waiting for Chu Xisheng to land on the ship, Long Heng suddenly drew his sword.

The sword, like a cold star, burst forth, perfectly striking the weakest point ahead of Chu Xisheng’s blade.

With a ‘Clank’, a fierce spark erupted between them.

The collision of their power caused Long Heng’s large ship to slide downstream.

Many powerful fighters were on the Long Family’s ship, all of whom now ran toward Chu Xisheng.

But in that instant, two Seventh Rank Martial Cultivators were hit in the face by arrows, pinned directly to the deck by two Heavy Arrows.

The rest were shocked and looked over to the other side, where they saw a dusky-skinned, charming woman steadying her bow and aiming at them.

Though the woman wore a slight smile showing her neat, silver-white teeth, which looked exceptionally beautiful under the sunlight, the men of the Long Family were filled only with a chilling fear, daring not to make any movements.

They felt that any slight movement at this moment would surely lead to their deaths beneath this woman’s arrows.

Between Chu Xisheng and Long Heng, continuous clashes of sword and blade erupted, exploding with countless lights and sparks, with ringing sounds assaulting the eardrums, instantly recording over twenty exchanges.

Surprise gradually appeared in Long Heng’s eyes.

The sword speed of this man in front of him was only slightly inferior to his by half a notch, and he could keep up with his swordsmanship.

The power difference was also not as crushing as he had imagined.

This man’s cultivation was clearly a grade and a rank lower than his, yet he could face him head-on for twenty moves without showing signs of defeat.

Indeed, if a snake is not killed, it will cause harm.

This man’s bloodline talent had already reached this level!

If he waited another year or two, this man would surely become a serious threat to him.

Chu Xisheng, however, inwardly sighed.

He really was not yet a match for this venomous snake.

During their ‘full-power’ confrontation, Chu Xisheng estimated he could only last fifty rounds.
