C14 Real genius

Amongst poverty and evil, the most common thing was to make things difficult for the people. People in poor areas relied on the mountains to eat the water. If there was nothing in the water, they could only eat people.

Eating people was just a metaphor. When there was nothing to do, they would ride their sabers out to fight. If they were lucky, they would get a huge reward. If they were unlucky, they would just die.

A barefoot man with a cheap life could live a happy life. Even if he died, he would die a happy death.

"The king and the generals are more suited to each other!"

A phrase rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people that made so many heroes bend their backs for the sake of their attractive rights, money and status.

Wherever there were people, there would always be people who wanted to step on them.

Li Chen was invited to the Gong family village's ancestral hall to discuss something. Li Ke was listening in from the side of the ancestral hall. All the village elders were present. Gong Hu and a few other juniors were forced to attend as well.

If there wasn't a hunter Gong, Li Chen wouldn't want to get involved with the Gong family.

The Old Village Chief first smiled and said many words of thanks. During the two years Li Chen stayed at the Gong Family's Hunter Residence, the Gong Family used the tiger skin as a banner, giving many benefits for free.

Seeing that he was on good terms with Hunter Gong's side, Li Chen tacitly agreed.

The Old Village Chief's words were really hard to move. Li Chen directly asked, "You're too polite." I wonder why the Village Chief has called me here? "

The Old Village Chief took out a red letter and personally delivered it to Li Chen. He said, "Please take a look at this first."

Li Chen received the letter and didn't frown.

This was a letter of challenge. The grandson of the Song Family's chief had returned from learning and was going to challenge Li Chen's grandson, Li Ke.

The Song Family was located 30 miles north of the Gong Family's mountain stronghold. They similarly chose to build a mountain stronghold at the col area. In order to compete for land and hunting grounds with the Gong Family stronghold, there had been several fights between them.

Before Li Chen arrived at the Gong Family's village, there would be several gang fights every year. It was normal for him to injure dozens of people.

While Li Chen was killing off the bandits, he helped the Gong Family Village out of respect for Hunter Gong. He was considered to be a level 9 martial artist that the Gong Family sent to pay tribute to. From then on, none of the surrounding village chiefs or bandits dared to oppose the Gong family's mountain village. Only White Horse Kou, who had five thousand brothers, dared to accept the rules and money from the Gong family's mountain village.

The Song Family was forced to endure and lost many fields and hunting grounds.

Not long ago, the grandson of the Song Family's stronghold master, Song Shuanghua, had just finished learning and returned. He already had the strength of a sixth level martial artist, and the Song Family wanted to recover some face, so they came up with the idea of challenging Li Ke.

If one wanted to ask why he didn't challenge Gong Hu, it was because Gong Hu was too good at fighting and his chances of winning were higher in challenging Li Ke.

It was also Li Chen's fault for having too few disciples. The other party couldn't find a third candidate.

"Nonsense!"

Li Chen slammed the letter of challenge onto the table.

The old Village Chief smiled apologetically and said, "Mister Li, the challenge letter was sent seven days ago. We have been suppressing it. The Song Family's people are coming this afternoon, and it looks like the time is almost here. A few days ago, Brother Li wasn't home, so we wanted to replace him with Hu Zi. Who knew that Brother Li would come back today? This matter cannot be replaced by Hu Zi. What should we do? We will definitely follow his suggestion. "

Although it was a question, he actually wanted to pull Li Chen and Li Ke into the water and ask them to come out.

After confirming the relationship between Li Chen and the Gong family's village, the Gong family village could get more benefits and extend the living space further.

It was even possible for them to establish a small clan and become a new power.

Li Chen's face darkened. Hunter Gong's head was lowered and his expression was extremely ugly.

The Gong family were a bit shameless. They already planned for this. It was fine if they came hiddenly, but they did it so blatantly. Did they think that everyone else was idiots?

Noticing Li Chen's displeasure, the Old Village Chief apologized repeatedly and promised many benefits that he believed to be very generous.

The village elders also came out to persuade them, thinking that they had a lot of face.

Li Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip without saying a word. He knew that the Old Village Chief was stalling for time, waiting for the Song Family's people to arrive.

Although Li Ke was young, he could still understand these matters. He stood up and walked behind his grandfather, Li Chen, and picked up the letter of challenge from the table. He asked, "Village Head Grandpa, where is this Song Shuanghui from?"

The Old Village Chief replied with a smile, "When Song Shuanghua was young, he was selected by the Taoists of the Nine Flower Immortal Palace to bring along the Nine Flower Mountain for martial arts training. His group consisted of more than 100 children, and I heard that they all had mediocre aptitudes. If we were to leave this place and travel down the mountain, we might not be able to stay at home for long. "

Li Ke asked again, "What level is he now?"

The old Village Chief replied, "Yes, there is."

Li Ke thanked him. He lowered his head and whispered into Li Chen's ears, "Grandfather, it shouldn't be a problem for a sixth level martial practitioner to kill him, right? When we leave, what else can the Gong family plan? "

Li Chen shook his head and replied, "Peace is still the most important thing."

Li Ke stood up. The old Village Head didn't know what Li Ke had said to Li Chen, but he agreed with Li Chen's statement that peace was the most important thing. He said, "The Gong Family and the Song Family live side by side. It is true that peace should be the most important thing, it is not good to fight and kill."

"Exactly!" There was a group of Soundworms in the surrounding area.

At this moment, another person came in to deliver a message that someone from the Song Family had come.

The old Village Chief signaled for everyone to go greet them, but Li Chen did not follow them out immediately. Li Chen and Li Ke were the only ones left in the ancestral hall. The Gong family thought that the two of them needed to discuss for a while before they tactfully left. Even hunter Gong did not stay behind.

Li Ke asked in a low voice, "Why can't we kill him?"

Li Chen said, "Although the Gong family members are not kind, but old man Gong and Xiaoxiao are truly good to us. Don't tell me that you want them to be implicated as well? After killing Song Shuhang, not only did he have to become the enemy of the Song Clan, he could also offend the people from the Nine Flower Immortal Palace. Their sect is being guarded by king level experts, so we must consider it. "

"This …"

At this time, Li Ke felt that he was not considerate enough. He didn't care about how many people were killed, but he didn't want Hunter Gong and Gong Ling Ruo to be harmed.

Li Chen sighed: "After this matter is over, we will return to Huai Nan."

"En!" Li Ke asked, "Grandfather, how will I fight this battle?"

"Give him six points of face."

"I'll try."

When Li Chen and Li Ke came out of the ancestral hall, there were already many people gathered in the Village Head Plaza. Among them, a group of neatly dressed foreigners were surrounded in the middle, led by an old man and a young man.

The people of Gong Village split into two and let Li Chen and Li Ke and his grandsons walk into the arena.

The old village chief introduced them, "This is the Song Family stronghold's team leader Song Jingjing, and this is Song Shuanghua. This is Mr Li and Li-ge Li Ke."

They met.

Song Jingjin cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Mister Li."

Song Jin did not dare to show any disrespect to a warrior of the ninth level. If Li Chen wanted to, he could kill everyone in the Song Family Village overnight. This challenge to Li Ke was not the Song Family's idea, but rather the Song Shuang master's idea. He wanted to use Li Ke and Gong Hu to give Song Shuanghua a hand as a stepping stone for him to advance.

Even though the Song Family was against it, they could not afford to offend Nine Flower Mountain.

"Regiment Commander Song is too polite."

Li Chen replied indifferently. Song Kong could only smile wryly in his heart. Li Chen had already restrained himself from killing him. Song Shuanghua's master said that he would return to suppress the enemy, so why hadn't he arrived yet? Don't tell me you want them to die in the Gong Family's village? The bull-nose of Nine Flower Mountain was really unreliable.

Just as Song Kong was conflicted, he exclaimed, "Infinity!" With a cry of the Dao sign, a snow-white Daoist Priest descended from the sky, landing beside Song Jin.

"Boundless Sky Sovereign!" This Penniless Priest greets Mister Li. "

"You are too kind, Adept Wu Chen."

Li Chen and Daoist Priest Jue Chen sized up each other as they calculated their chances of winning if they were to fight. Their eyes met, and they both felt their hearts tighten as their vital energy and blood surged unceasingly.

With just a glance, he could tell that the other was also a ninth level practitioner.

Daoist Priest Juechen was perhaps a bit higher than Li Chen, but the difference wasn't too great. If the two were to fight, both of them would inevitably suffer.

Daoist Priest Juechen's smile became much friendlier. He originally thought that the Gong Family's village consecrate was just an old man with a false reputation and was at most at the peak of the eighth level or near the ninth level. He never thought that he would be at the peak of the ninth level. Recognizing Li Chen's strength, Daoist Priest Juechen was suspicious of his rebirth. Why would a peak rank 9 martial artist willingly cower in such a country bumpkin?

Could it be that there was some treasure in the vicinity?

When they left the mountains, did they hear that those two perverted spirit beasts had other treasures?

As he thought about it, he said, "This disciple will compete with Mr. Li's grandson. The exchange will be as important as it needs to be. Don't hurt our relationship." The Song and Gong Families lived side by side, supporting each other, helping each other was the right thing to do. "I'll use this opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding. In the future, we'll get along with each other and make peace."

Everyone responded in unison.

Song Shuhang thought to himself, "Master sure changes his mind fast. He even said not to show mercy when he came here, why did he change his mind now?" Although his master had reminded him, he was not willing to let the matter go. In his heart, he had secretly decided to teach Li Ke a lesson.

The crowd feigned courtesies and then made way for the stage in the center.

Song Shuang walked into the arena first and drew out the three foot long Light Wind Sword behind him. The sword aura was as cold as a thousand-year cold pool of water. It was a rare high grade Light Wind Sword.

"Brother Li, please!"

Song Shuanghua clasped his hands in accordance with the rules of the martial arts world.

Li Ke tidied up his clothes and walked into the field, causing an uproar from the crowd. Song Shuhang frowned and asked, "Brother Li, where are your weapons?"

Li Ke spread out his palm and said, "I practice archery. Since I can't use it here, I can only use my hands."

Song Shuhang was extremely furious. He originally wanted to cripple Li Ke, but he didn't expect Li Ke to look down on him so much. In his heart, he already had the urge to kill.

"I advise Brother Li to go with that weapon."

"Alright then!"

As Li Ke spoke, he suddenly rushed to Song Shuhang's side. Song Shuhang held his sword horizontally in defense, only to discover that the sword in his hand had disappeared. Turning his head to look, the Green Edge Sword had already reached Li Ke's hands.

Li Ke bounced on the Sword God and the Green Edge was broken.

"Ah!" "So weak?" Li Ke showed a regretful expression and said to Song Shuhang, "I'm sorry! Sorry! I didn't expect this sword to be so weak. It broke with just a flick. "

Song Shuanghua's face was ashen as he looked at the short sword in Li Ke's hand. His originally slow confidence had been mercilessly shattered.

Geniuses were called geniuses because they hadn't met a true genius yet.
