Chapter 914 - 914 914 Give Him Some Face Don’t Kill Him

914: Chapter 914: Give Him Some Face, Don’t Kill Him 914: Chapter 914: Give Him Some Face, Don’t Kill Him If both sides send out one participant, Zhang Quan worries that an unexpected defeat might occur here again.

Li San appears to be at the late Nascent Soul stage, while Xiao Mei is at the mid Nascent Soul stage.

But Ding Qiu did truly die!

So, staying a little cautious is always wise.

Even if among the two, one of them concealed their strength, making it impossible to discern.

But it would only be one person at most!

Two out of three victories, though, would make all the difference!

“Three people?

Sure, let’s go with us three!”

Hearing Zhang Quan’s suggestion, Xiao Mei pretended to be indifferent and nodded lightly, then gracefully pointed at Li San, herself, and Bai Xiaofan.

Whether it’s three people, one person, or five people against her, Xiao Mei had no fear whatsoever.

She trusted Bai Xiaofan—he could handle all five of them.

Just five peak Nascent Soul experts, right?

As long as Bai Xiaofan could take out one enemy with lightning-fast moves, the rest would inevitably grow afraid.

That’s just human nature!

“Then I’ll be the first to fight!”

Li San abruptly stepped forward after hearing Xiao Mei’s words, boldly gesturing toward one of the men next to Zhang Quan and shouting out.

“Zhang Hu, you’re up.

Among your five, your cultivation isn’t the weakest, so this won’t count as me bullying you!”

Li San’s tone was domineering and brash in the extreme.

He dared to claim, with his late Nascent Soul cultivation, that challenging a peak Nascent Soul opponent wouldn’t be bullying!

Zhang Quan and the others—all masters of high cultivation—had their pride too!

“Alright, Li San.

Since you’re so eager to die, then I, Zhang Hu, will grant your wish.

Let me show you the gap between peak Nascent Soul and late Nascent Soul!”

Zhang Hu took a confident step forward, glaring at Li San with intensity.

With a sweeping motion of his hand, he summoned a massive two-meter-long broadsword.

“I surrender.”

Looking at Zhang Hu in front of him, Li San shrugged, casually uttered this sentence, and then took a step back to indicate his defeat.

Huh?

Complete silence descended upon the great hall!

Zhang Quan and the others stood in stunned disbelief, as though they were ducks caught outside in a thunderstorm.

What in the world?

This guy had been bluffing just a second ago, and now he surrendered in the blink of an eye!

Is there really someone who does this?

Even Zhang Hu’s hand, holding the broadsword, almost dropped from the shock.

“What did you say?

Surrender?”

Hearing Zhang Hu’s question, Li San earnestly nodded.

“Yes, I feel like I probably can’t beat you.

To save energy, I decided not to fight you.

So, you’ve won.

Does that make you happy?”

Happy?

Hell no!

Zhang Hu was on the verge of bursting into curses!

Who the hell feels happy about this?

Li San’s casual, matter-of-fact admission that he can’t win meant Zhang Hu didn’t have to expend energy fighting, sure—but it left him with a feeling of wasted power, like punching into cotton!

Even the smirk on Li San’s face right now felt like mockery, like he had become a joke.

“That marks your loss in this round!”

Zhang Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and cast a meaningful glance toward Xiao Mei, seated at the head.

Then, he spoke firmly.

“Naturally.

Now it’s one-zero in your favor.

For the second match, I will challenge the old man who recently reached peak Nascent Soul!”

Xiao Mei nodded with a composed expression, showing no intention of playing dirty!

She then stood up from her seat and directly pointed at the elderly figure behind Zhang Quan.

“You’re personally coming up for this round?”

Zhang Quan’s gaze flickered with confusion upon hearing Xiao Mei’s words.

What exactly was this little girl plotting?

Li San stepped up first, only to surrender without fighting.

And now she wanted to personally participate!

Even if she managed to barely defeat the old man, what about the next round?

Would they rely on that smirking young man?

A cultivator at half-step Nascent Soul… what could he possibly do?

“Alright, old man.

Be cautious and avoid being careless!”

Zhang Quan contemplated briefly before turning to the elder behind him, issuing a warning.

“No worries, big brother.

A little girl like her, I’ll crush her in mere moments!”

The old man casually nodded as he stepped toward Xiao Mei, simultaneously boasting with great confidence.

While his words felt a bit arrogant, Zhang Quan, Zhang Hu, and the others saw no issue with them!

This elderly master, though a recent peak Nascent Soul breakthrough, was nevertheless formidable; how could a mid-stage Nascent Soul Xiao Mei compare to him?

Swish!

As the two exchanged words, a flash of sword light streaked through the air.

Before Zhang Quan and the others could react, a deep sword wound appeared on the old man’s chest, its gash exposing bone!

Drip, drip, drip!

Bright drops of blood leaked from the wound, falling to the ground and splattering into messy puddles!

The sudden sight left everyone dumbfounded.

Even Li San stood frozen in shock at Xiao Mei’s swift strike.

“You’ve lost.”

Xiao Mei glanced nonchalantly at the severely injured old man, murmured a low remark, then returned to her seat as though nothing had happened.

“Shameless!

You ambushed me!”

The old man staggered, staring at the sword injury on his chest.

If Zhang Quan and Zhang Hu hadn’t supported him in time, he’d have crashed to the floor by now.

“Ambushed?

I wouldn’t quite call it that.

I informed you beforehand of my challenge, yet you failed to prepare yourself.

That being said, I’m reasonable—if you’d like to continue the fight, I’d gladly oblige!”

Xiao Mei chuckled softly, her lips tilting into a mischievous smirk.

She exuded an air of arrogance as she stared down at the furious old man, practically embodying the phrase “infuriating yet unrepentant.”

Good grief!

I’m already heavily wounded, and you still have the audacity to ask me to keep fighting!

That wouldn’t be dueling anymore—it’d be plain abuse!

“Fine.

You win this round.

It’s now one-to-one.

I’ll step up personally for the final match!”

Zhang Quan noticed the old man’s anger flaring and gave his shoulder a reassuring pat, signaling for him to tend to his injuries.

Then Zhang Quan himself stepped forward, staring at Xiao Mei with an even expression as he spoke.

“Xiaofan, your turn now.

Give him some slack; don’t finish him off!”

Xiao Mei cast a glance at Zhang Quan and softly spoke to Bai Xiaofan beside her.

Though her voice was quiet, it was crystal clear to every ear present.

Hearing Xiao Mei’s words, Zhang Hu and the wounded old man nearly erupted into shouts of protest.

Good heavens!

What is wrong with you, girl?

Why would you pick up such a bad habit of acting cocky?

It’s driving us mad!

The young man by your side—what’s his level?

Half-step Nascent Soul!

And Zhang Quan?

He’s a peak Nascent Soul expert—the real deal!

And yet here you are, arrogantly instructing a mere half-step Nascent Soul junior to refrain from accidentally killing a peak Nascent Soul master.

What’s going on in that head of yours?

Have you entirely lost your mind?
