450 Dominate Three Cities (1/2)
*Thud!*
*Thud!*
*Thud!*
Feng Qingyang was still knocking his head on the stage – each knock seemingly triggering a nuclear explosion in the mind of everyone watching.
”Fine. I'll forgive you for not recognizing me so stop knocking your head on the stage, you're soiling the floor!” Chen Xiaobei waved him off. It helped that Elder Feng appeared starkly different from when they last met – Chen Xiaobei genuinely could not feel a hint of arrogance from the geezer.
”Thank you, My Lord! Thank you, My Lord!”
Feng Qincgyang stopped knocking his head on the stage, but he still would not stand up – not until his Lord asked him to do so.
Chen Xiaobei then remembered something. ”You are actually quite bold!” he exclaimed. ”I vanquished your Three Faces Evil Spirit and destroyed your cultivation the last time, how do you still have the guts to walk on this stage and pick a fight? Aren't you afraid of dying?”
”My Lord, I managed to groom a few evil spirits to fight for me after I left Green Vine City. I thought that you were just another nobody, which was why I dared to come. If I had known it'd be you… I wouldn't have!”
Yanhong and Elder Fa Ming were extremely shocked after hearing what Elder Feng said. ”Sifu… Am I hearing it wrong?”
His eyes almost bulging, Yanhong asked: ”Mr. Chen… Destroyed Demonic Icy Elder's Three Faces Evil Spirit? And his cultivation as well?”
”I would like to know whether I heard it correctly myself!” Elder Fa Ming could – the most tranquil monk in Golden Dragon Temple – was no longer calm. He recalled his own battle with Feng Qingyang and his Three Faces Evil Spirit which eventually ended in a draw. How could Chen Xiaobei destroy that old man's minion as well as cultivation?
It was inconceivable!
'This young man is a monster!' Elder Fa Ming thought with a gulp.
The deathly silence still lingered over the arena. The crowd could not be more surprised, while those who kept picking on Chen Xiaobei's arrogance earlier were now terrified that he would make them pay.
Eventually, Xuda calmed himself. ”Elder Gong!” He called out to the defending champion. ”I believe the victor of this martial art competition is now clear, shouldn't you announce it?”
Barely recovering from the list of shocks he had today, Elder Gong asked gingerly: ”May I know the name of this young man?”
”He is Bro Bei from Green Vine City, he who destroyed the powerful Black Gang and claimed the throne of Green Vine City!” Xuda shouted.
For the umpteenth time on this day, the crowd was astonished. Most of the Jianghu people have heard tales of Bro Bei. However, none of them expected the legend to be such a young man!
It was unbelievable!
”Everyone! Silence, please!” Elder Gong inhaled deeply, stood up and clasped Chen Xiaobei's hand.
”Mr. Chen, your combat power is extraordinary!” he praised. ”I don't think that anyone within three cities can defeat you – and yet, you did us the huge favor of eliminating the cult leader Ye Linlong and restore peace to our cities! Now, as the previous leader of the alliance, I officially announce that Crimson Cloud City, Baihe City, and Zijiang City would all serve the new alliance leader; Mr. Chen. None shall disobey him!”
”Bro Bei! Bro Bei! Bro Bei!”
Xuda and the rest of his allies started to chant his name right after Elder Gong finished, and so did the entire arena in a show of loyalty!
And thus the martial arts competition ended. After taking absolute control over Green Vine City, Chen Xiaobei now grabbed power over another three cities without so much as a scratch.
