Chapter 407: Fight All At Once or By Turns?

Qian Wanguan felt really aggrieved today. It wasn’t just him, but even Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei felt embarrassed, too. Many people at the banquet singled them out for a simple reason—they were friends of Jiang Yi’s.

Jiang Yi’s names were spreading too quickly. He was around the same age as the young masters and young mistresses present, but his reputation and strength were comparable to their fathers—it even exceeded many of their fathers.

In other words… nobody at the banquet was qualified to be compared to Jiang Yi—not even the most distinguished Prince Ling Fei, Princess Ling Yue, or Shui Qianrou.

Jiang Yi used to be known because of his father. Many would say that he was Jiang Bieli’s bastard. Now, Jiang Yi could represent himself and didn’t have to rely on someone else’s reputations.

He was the Regent of the Uncrowned King of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Supreme Marshal of the Empire of Heaven Mystics Kingdom, and the successor of the Witch God. He was the tough guy who could let Yun Qingtian and Grandma Silver Flower bow to him!

Many of the people present envied, resented, and discredited Jiang Yi. They said he was just in luck, and he depended on the Demon Empress, Shui Youlan, Zhuge Qingyun, and many others. However, all of them knew that they were not as good as Jiang Yi at the bottom of their hearts—which only made them feel more jealous and bitterer towards Jiang Yi!

To Ling Fei and Ling Yue, Jiang Yi used to be a dog of their Ling Clan; and now, this dog turned against them. Xia Feiyu used to be friendly to Jiang Yi, but that had changed into utter hatred when Jiang Yi committed treason. Jiang Yi had become Xia Clan’s sworn enemy after he killed Xia Wuhui.

There was nothing much to be said about the grudge between Shui Qianrou and Jiang Yi. Months ago, Dugu Yan was humiliated by Jiang Yi. Some of the most esteemed beauties present at the banquet all had unpleasant histories with Jiang Yi. Many young masters and young mistresses of the Saint Spirit Kingdom, the Divine Martial Kingdom, the Northern Liang Kingdom, and the Northern Mang Kingdom had ill feelings for Jiang Yi because of their nations.

So…

When Jiang Yi’s friends came to the banquet, inevitably—they would be sneered at. In the end, in order to please a few mistresses, some young masters blatantly sent their men to challenge them. As a result, Qian Gang was severely wounded.

“Brother Wushuang, don’t be reckless…”

In the cabin of the insanely big ship where Shui Qianrou was in, Qian Wanguan pulled the furious Zhan Wushuang and persuaded him quietly. Qian Gang was carried out just now. However, there was no sign of anger on his face, he was smiling instead. In contrast, Zhan Wushuang’s handsome face was distorted from rage.

“Hahaha!”

A young master in purple, who sat opposite them, looked at Zhan Wushuang in contempt and said, “What? Young Master Zhan got mad? Our men are just fooling around for fun! It’s not worth your anger. If you feel uncomfortable, why not ask some of your men to have some fun, too?”

“Brother Wushuang, don’t be reckless!”

Yun Fei, who sat beside him, stopped Zhan Wushuang. Everyone aimed at them three. If anything went wrong, all of their subordinates might be carried out—like Qian Gang. In addition, it would be bad for the Zhan Clan’s future progress if they offended these many people.

“Hmph!”

Zhan Wushuang rose proudly; his face had regained calmness. Looking at Xiao Clan’s first young master Xiao Tianhu, he sneered, “What’s the fun of asking the subordinates to fight? Why don’t you and I have some fun? Xiao Tianhu, it is said that you are the most powerful prodigy of your clan’s current generation. The Supreme Marshal of the Empire, Xiao Longwang, likes you very much. Wushuang would like to witness the matchless power of Northern Mang Kingdom’s first young master!”

“Uh…”

Silence. It seemed like the situation had escalated? It was common for young masters and young mistresses to ask their men to fight on their behalf at these kinds of banquets. However, masters normally wouldn’t compete personally. After all, they had esteemed status. If anyone was hurt, it wouldn’t end up well; and the two clans involved might turn against each other.

The smile on Xiao Tianhu’s lips froze; he gave a dreadful look in his dismal eyes. Without a doubt, the Zhan Clan was powerful. It might seem like Zhan Wushuang’s strength was below his, but Zhan Clan was of a special race. Zhan Wushuang’s combat power should be comparable to his. If two of them battled with each other, it was highly likely that there would be no winner.

The problem was… on such occasion—where all the distinguished young masters and young mistresses all over the world gathered around, how could he back off from a fight? Thus, he let out a conceited smile. “Young Master Zhan, are you sure you want to play? Don’t expect any mercy from me!”

Buzz!

After saying that, a ring in Xiao Tianhu’s hand shone; and a golden halberd appeared. The halberd glistened with golden light. It looked like a golden dragon which was swimming. Injecting some essence force into the halberd, the golden light immediately became brighter, giving out a terrifying aura.

“Saint artifact!”

Qian Wanguan’s face suddenly darkened, Yun Fei’s pupils contracted, and the subordinates of the three clans even showed horror in their eyes. They all knew that the combat power of Zhan Wushuang was similar to that of Xiao Tianhu. However, Xiao Tianhu had a saint artifact—which was even fully refined! This had completely reversed the situation. This time, it was very possible that Zhan Wushuang would have his four limbs disabled—let alone be killed!

“Hehe, is it such a big deal to have a saint artifact? The Zhan Clansmen never use weapons. We depend solely on our fists to make a name for ourselves. Xiao Tianhu…”

To Qian Wanguan and Yun Fei’s greatest fear, Zhan Wushuang accepted the challenge courageously as expected. His temper was as such. He was brave and never turned away a fight. When he had made up his mind, no one could stop him now.

“HA-HA-HA—!”

Before Zhan Wushuang finished his sentence, a burst of loud laughter came from the outside which completely covered Zhan Wushuang’s words. Four people filed in. The leader was a cold, young man who appeared to be at his thirties. His aura was comparable to the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm. The three people who followed him looked familiar—they were the Qian Clan’s subordinates.

The person who let out the laughter was the cold, young man who was also dressed in a Qian Clan robe. After he led the crowd in, he glanced over the cabin indifferently. His eyes were dark, like a poisonous snake, which frightened many young mistresses.

“Young Master Wushuang, how could we ask you to defend our Qian Clan’s dignity? Otherwise, won’t everyone laugh at our Qian Clan for having no talent? You just sit down. Four of us will fight for our dignity!”

“Uh…”

Zhan Wushuang glanced at the cold, young man suspiciously and found him very unfamiliar. He had never seen or heard of him.

Yun Fei also peeped at the cold, young man in suspicion. Qian Clansmen had always been businessmen. They put a great emphasis on harmony and rules. Clearly, Qian Wanguan gave in just now and wouldn’t send messages to ask for more people. This Qian Clan’s subordinate even dared to take the liberty of coming here and agreeing to fight!

“Hahaha!”

Qian Wanguan burst into laughter. His fat body was shaking while he laughed. His face was full of energy and bravery, and his eyes were glaring. He turned into a completely different person from the cowardly man just now.

Suddenly, he thumped the table and stood up. He said heroically, “That’s right. Brother Wushuang, please sit down! It should be up to Qian Clansmen to defend our dignity. Xiao Tianhu, I’m going to have some fun with you today. Our Clan sends four people, and we challenge all of your Xiao Clansmen. Coming all at once or by turns; whatever you prefer!”

“Wow!”

The audience burst into an uproar. What shocked them the most… was not the fact that the Qian Clan sent only four men to challenge more than a dozen of subordinates of Xiao Tianhu. It was the attitude Qian Wanguan displayed!

How did this chubby little man—who was always smiling, who never dared to confront anyone, and who didn’t even have the courage to answer back just now when Xiao Tianhu was just close to insulting him in person—became so tough all of a sudden? The Qian Clan always valued the principle of breeding wealth from harmony; were they not going to be harmonious this time?

Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei were stunned as well!

As if they had just met Qian Wanguan for the first time, they sized him up. When they saw the Qian Clan’s subordinates make a special gesture, their bodies shook; and their eyes were lit up.

They finally knew why Qian Wanguan became so tough. It was because… his backer had come. The cold, young man was Jiang Yi.
