Gai Xudong’s words were like showing his hand when he had nothing else to hide, and the Great Elder knew he absolutely couldn’t agree to Gai Xudong’s unreasonable demands. Leaving aside the matter of their freedom while being “invited” to the County Master Mansion by Gai Xudong, merely based on preserving their reputation, they couldn’t afford to yield. The Guardian National Master Mansion had always overshadowed the Imperial Master Mansion and if news of this got out, it would humiliate them seriously. How would they still hold their heads high? What would become of the dignity of the Imperial Master Mansion?

Besides, would Gai Xudong set up a trap to target them through deception at the County Master Mansion? Nothing could be said for certain. Previously, the Great Elder was certain Gai Xudong dare not harbor such intentions, but now that Wen Jian was part of their team, even a slim possibility was not a risk he was willing to take.

“Gai Xudong, don’t push people too far. You are from the Guardian National Master Mansion, and we are from the Imperial Master Mansion. You have no right to dictate our actions. Step aside, or else, don’t blame us for showing you no respect.” The Great Elder Chen Chen, for the first time since meeting Gai Xudong, began to show his displeasure earnestly.

Gai Xudong sneered, “It seems you’ve forgotten how I treated you last time. Just as well, I haven’t sparred with anyone in a long time. Now is a good time to see what progress you have made.”

“Very well,” the Great Elder said loudly. He took a step forward, ready to fight, when Wen Jian suddenly stopped him, “Great Elder, let me do it.”

“Wen Jian, you …”

“Great Elder, I’m not a delicate flower that has never weathered a storm. I’m also good at fighting. Don’t forget, even though I failed to break through to the Gold Core Stage, I’ve still taken a half-step forward. With the solid foundation I’ve laid in the Foundation Establishment Stage, who in the Half-step Golden Core could possibly stand against me?” said Wen Jian proudly.

The Great Elder pondered upon Wen Jian’s words and found no fault in his logic. In fact, Wen Jian had indeed built a sturdy foundation during his Foundation Establishment Stage, stronger than him for certain. With such a robust foundation, there was no way he wouldn’t be powerful after advancing to the Half-step Golden Core. Furthermore, the Great Elder knew Wen Jian was not satisfied with failing to break through to the Gold Core Stage and quite likely needed a vigorous battle to vent his negative emotions. Undoubtedly, Gai Xudong would prove to be a worthy adversary.

“Fine, but be careful. This Gai Xudong is an experienced Half-step Golden Core from the Guardian National Master Mansion, second only to Chen Wenbo. Watch out.” After giving a word of caution, the Great Elder stepped back a few paces.

Gai Xudong gestured and his followers also retreated, freeing up the arena for him and Wen Jian.

Though Gai Xudong was powerful, his men were not as strong as Luo Xia, Hao Wenxi, and Xiao Ge. If it came to a big battle, he would be alright, but his men would likely suffer. At the moment, forming a squad wasn’t easy; he didn’t want his men to die needlessly.

Gai Xudong and Wen Jian stood facing each other. With a gesture of casting a spell, a sword hummed and flew out from his sleeve, turning into hundreds of brilliant rays of light around him. Each ray was a small sword, zooming towards Wen Jian.

Wen Jian leapt to dodge, but the small swords were too fast. He could only evade some of them, while the rest flew towards him at great speed. Hastily, he formed a protective boundary to fend off the swords.

“Good. Worthy of being the Mansion Master of the Imperial Master Mansion, but let’s see how many times you can block?”

Gai Xudong controlled the flying swords, launching wave after wave of attacks on Wen Jian. His battle experience far surpassed Wen Jian’s, thus he had the upper hand right from the start, never once giving Wen Jian any opportunity.

Continuous defense would eventually lose. More importantly, Wen Jian was too proud. The worse his situation got, the more he wanted to prove himself; particularly in the presence of the Great Elder, Hao Wenxi, and others from the Imperial Master Mansion, the urge to prove himself was even stronger. This disposition would be a boon when the battle tide was in his favor but could easily lead to impatience when things were going awry.

Drawing on his wealth of experience, Gai Xudong, like a seasoned hunter, swiftly caught a small opening in Wen Jian’s defense. He split the attack of his flying sword into two, having the main force serve as a distraction while the secondary force made a sharp turn to strike directly at Wen Jian’s weakness. Wen Jian immediately panicked, causing Gai Xudong to become even more aggressive, giving no quarters, until he found an opening. His flying sword directly struck Wen Jian’s right shoulder blade, piercing through it and leaving a hole.

With a painful cry, Wen Jian was sent flying backwards,

The Great Elder, his eyes filled with rage, roared, “Save him!”

Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi rushed towards Wen Jian while the Great Elder and Xiao Ge together lunged at Gai Xudong.

Gai Xudong sneered repeatedly, and shouted, “Planning to gang up on me? Very well, let me deal with your young Mansion Master first.”
