576: Chapter 574: I want to duel with you!

“Are you Lin Xuan?” asked the dark figure at the doorway.

Lin Xuan frowned, looking up; today had been particularly irritating, with one interruption after another.

Even his meal had been disrupted.

The figure in front wore a voluminous black robe and short hair, and had delicate features, though currently marred by a scowl.

Lin Xuan was puzzled; he had never seen this person before and didn’t know why they were angry.

Seeing Lin Xuan not replying, the figure in front grew even more annoyed, “I heard from my cousin that you were arrogant, but I didn’t believe it.

Now it seems true; you really are an arrogant fellow.”

Lin Xuan was stunned.

Arrogant?

Was he talking about him?

He was absolutely not being arrogant!

The other continued, “To think you dared reject our invitation.

I want to see what gives you the audacity.”

With that, the person pulled out a dark-red soft whip from their waist and coiled it in hand.

“I don’t know who you are, but in a fight amongst our peers, even if I kill you, I doubt your sect or family would say anything.”

“Draw your weapon and fight!”

Lin Xuan’s brow furrowed, understanding from the other’s words that the older generation wasn’t supposed to interfere casually, but the younger ones could act without restraint.

If that was the case, he was not afraid; among his peers, there was no one he feared.

Yet, at that moment, the dark-red divine dragon barked impatiently, “Hey kid, when did you start incurring romantic debts again?

Hurry up and settle this so as not to disturb my meal!”

The Snow White Monkey sat nearby, its big eyes slightly narrowed, an expression of watching a drama.

Lin Xuan grimaced, “What romantic debts?

That’s clearly a guy, okay!”

“I definitely don’t swing that way.”

At those words, the figure opposite him nearly vibrated with rage, finally shrieking, “You damn bastard, I challenge you to a duel!”

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The dark-red whip lashed out quickly, cleaving the air.

The table in front of Lin Xuan exploded into fragments, scattering everywhere.

Seeing the food destroyed, the dark-red divine dragon exclaimed in frustration, “Boy, what’s wrong with your eyes?

That’s clearly a pretty girl, okay?”

The Snow White Monkey sat by, its crescent-moon-like big eyes nodding in agreement.

Lin Xuan helplessly touched his nose, “Really?

The people here look so strange, men look like women and women like men; I really can’t tell them apart.”

Hearing this, the girl in front trembled with anger.

She just had short hair and a bit of a temper, but how did that make her resemble a man?

“Are you blind?

Clarify this for me, where exactly do I look like a man!”

The commotion had already drawn the attention of those nearby, with many peeping out to watch.

The tavern owner came over, furious.

Someone dared to start a fight in his establishment; they must wish to die.

But when he saw the black-robed girl, he froze.

His angry expression faded, replaced by a mix of fear and sycophancy.

The gathering martial artists were stirred, whispering amongst themselves.

“Isn’t that Black Pearl?

What brought this troublemaker here?”

“I don’t know, but who is that boy in the private room?

He’s likely in trouble.”

“Yes, with Black Pearl upset, no one in Quicksand City can save him.”

“Ah, it can’t be helped, seeing as she’s the daughter of Blackwood Castle, and she has an incredibly tough brother too.”

Hearing the crowd’s conversation, Lin Xuan had an idea; this person was a disciple of Blackwood Castle.

It seemed Blackwood Castle was also the one previously trying to poach him.

Lin Xuan hadn’t expected to run into them again so soon.

Earlier on the road, he had killed a disciple of Blackwood Castle; probably, they weren’t aware of it yet, or the situation wouldn’t be as it was now.

“Fighting and killing isn’t ladylike, you might have trouble getting married,” Lin Xuan said with a chuckle.

“Let’s forget today’s incident.

You should leave now.”

“Walking away?

You are dreaming, today I must duel with you!”

“I’m going to tie you up, this incredibly arrogant, haughty jerk, and hang you on the walls of Quicksand City for three days and nights to let everyone see your true ugly face!”

Lin Xuan was helpless.

Who exactly was being arrogant and overbearing here?

It seemed that this young girl had really been spoiled rotten.

“Are you sure you want to duel with me?” Lin Xuan asked, a hint of a smile on his lips.

“Scared?

I’m going to beat you so badly you’ll be searching for your teeth all over the ground!” Black Pearl said fiercely.

“Aren’t you afraid of losing?” Lin Xuan asked.

“Lose?

How could I possibly lose?

No one can defeat me except for my elder brother!”

Black Pearl proudly puffed out her chest like a victorious little phoenix.

Hearing this, the corners of the nearby martial artists’ mouths twitched.

Of course, they knew the reason Black Pearl had never been defeated was that no one actually dared to fight her seriously; most were simply letting her win.

However, this little girl didn’t realize that, thinking herself invincible in Quicksand City, causing trouble everywhere.

“Since you insist, then as you wish,” Lin Xuan shrugged, showing an indifferent expression.

Seeing Lin Xuan’s nonchalant demeanor, Black Pearl huffed angrily.

She turned around and yelled, “Boss, lend me your battle arena for a moment!”

Dueling was popular in Quicksand City, so some taverns had their own battle arenas.

Moreover, Sandstorm Tavern used dueling competitions to attract customers.

Many people enjoyed their meal while watching the competition on the stage, finding great enjoyment in it.

At this moment, the competition on the battle arena was abruptly stopped, and the two contestants were hurried off the stage.

The surrounding watchers, unclear about the reason, roared in anger.

However, when two figures stepped onto the stage, they were stunned.

“Fellow martial artists, today I, Black Pearl, will be borrowing the battle arena to teach this detestable young man a lesson.”

Black Pearl said in a delicate voice, her voice carrying in all directions.

Instantly, the crowd around them boiled over.

It was the little princess of Blackwood Castle in action, surely more exciting than any other martial artist’s fight.

It was just unclear who the unfortunate young man was who had caught the attention of this capricious little princess.

“Ugh, you detestable jerk, soon I will have you kneeling and begging for mercy!”

“I look forward to it,” Lin Xuan grinned, showing his teeth.

“But just fighting like this is boring.

What stakes do you want to add?”

A duel was not just a fight between martial artists; they always placed wagers before the contest.

The winner would gain both fame and fortune, which was the most enticing aspect.

Black Pearl snorted lightly, surprised that you knew so much.

“Alright then.

I have a top-grade Spirit Rank treasure sword here.

If you win, the sword is yours!”

Black Pearl waved her small hand, and a longsword emitting dazzling light appeared in the void.

As soon as the treasure sword emerged, the crowd below burst into murmurs of admiration, their gazes hungrily fixed on it above.

A top-grade Spirit Rank treasure was not something trivial; it was a weapon countless martial artists dreamt of owning.

Feeling the envious gazes of the crowd, Black Pearl snorted lightly and arrogantly raised her chin.

“What about you?

What stakes are you adding?

Don’t tell me you’re so poor you have nothing,” Black Pearl said disdainfully.

Internally, Lin Xuan marveled.

Truly a scion of a great family, casually offering a top-grade Spirit Rank treasure.

Then he smiled faintly.

He had plenty of good things on him, but obviously, he wasn’t about to offer them up.

His gaze scanning around, he grabbed the Dark Red Divine Dragon and tossed it forward.

“This will do!

This is an exotic beast, containing a trace of Flood Dragon bloodline.

If properly nurtured, it will surely be a formidable combat power!”

“What do you think?

This isn’t weaker than your top-grade Spirit Grade treasure, is it?”
