Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 404: Chapter 403 Start of the War

Xiao Hei’s appearance caused a roar of laughter from the crowd.

This was the Dragon Head Meeting of two provinces, and yet a teenager had popped up, challenging a master from the Ren Family; it was simply a joke!

”Whose kid is this, someone come take him away!” Someone in the crowd yelled.

”Oh, Su Yang doesn’t dare to show up himself, so he sends a little disciple instead. What’s this about? Are you hoping for us to show respect for the young and go easy on him?”

”Hahaha, this is too funny, is this some kind of farce? Sending a kid to stop the Hou Family from being disqualified, how amusing. At this rate, the Hou Family might as well invite a kindergarten over; they would last even longer!”

”If you have no skill, you should at least have some shame. Resorting to such despicable tactics, pah!”

The crowd jeered with various insults, but Hou Shilin could no longer bother with these taunts. He said anxiously, ”Xiao Hei, come down for now. Don’t fight with him, the people from the Ren Family are very ruthless, it’s very dangerous for you to fight him!”

Xiao Hei still didn’t listen to Hou Shilin’s words, just looked coldly at the man from the Ren Family opposite him, ”Are you too scared to fight me? If you are, just admit defeat. If you dare to fight, then stop talking nonsense!”

The man from the Ren Family immediately became furious, pointing at Xiao Hei and cursing, ”Fuck, you’re not even fully grown and you dare speak so arrogantly. You think I’m scared to fight? I’m afraid that with one strike I’ll kill you right here, and then your family will come crying and wailing—wouldn’t that turn the May Dragon Head Meeting into a farce!”

Xiao Hei said softly, ”There are no rules on the stage of the May Dragon Head Meeting. Since I’ve stepped onto this stage, my life is in the hands of fate. You don’t need to worry about what happens if I die here, just be prepared to die here if you fight me!”

”You motherfucker, you really talk big!” The man from the Ren Family turned to Lian Qianjun angrily, ”What kind of situation is this? Does this fight count or not?”

”Of course it doesn’t count!” Ye Zhenying immediately said.

”What do you mean it doesn’t count!” Lian Qianjun said slowly, ”Elder Ye, we had agreed beforehand. Once someone steps onto the stage, all bets are off. Since the kid has stepped up, there’s no rule about stepping down again. Wouldn’t that be a farce? The Dragon Head Meeting of two provinces, if even this small rule isn’t upheld, how could it command respect?”

”But he’s just a child!” Ye Zhenying said urgently.

”So what if he’s a child!” Lian Qianjun scoffed, ”Heroes have always emerged from the young. Your Sword Saint Ye, at fifteen, defeated Gwu Jihan, the top master of Pingnan Province. This kid’s age is not much younger than the Sword Saint was then. How can you underestimate him?”

”You...” Ye Zhenying was at a loss for words, with the glory of Sword Saint Ye before him, he truly had no way to speak for Xiao Hei.

”So, we’re including this fight, then!” The man from the Ren Family chuckled coldly, ”Kid, do you know what ’bring disaster through your words’ means? Initially, I would have held back against a kid like you, but you’re really too arrogant, so let me teach you a lesson. Don’t worry, at most I’ll cripple you but still spare your life!”

”I’ll kill you!” Xiao Hei said word by word.

”Seeking death!” The man from the Ren Family shouted in rage, about to make a move, when suddenly Nan Wudi stood up, ”Xiao Hei, come down. I’ll fight this round on your behalf!”

The man from the Ren Family was taken aback, ”Can you even substitute in this? If you’re subbing for him, then I can find someone to sub for me too!”

On the other side, Wang Wanli had already stood up. From his posture, it was clear—if Nan Wudi entered the ring, he would personally take the stage. The Wang Family had come specifically to target the Nan Family this time.

Xiao Hei said softly, ”Thank you, Elder Nan. I will fight this round myself!”

”You...” Nan Wudi was speechless. Xiao Hei was just too stubborn.

”Fine, if you’re seeking death, then I’ll grant it!” the man from the Ren Family said gleefully, ”Come on, I’ll give you three moves, so no one can say I bullied you!”

Xiao Hei didn’t speak; he opened the box he was carrying, and took out the kitchen knife.

”What’s this thing?” a Ren Family man’s eyes widened as he said, ”What are you doing with a kitchen knife?”

”In a platform fight, aren’t we allowed to use weapons?” Xiao Hei hit back with a question.

”There are no rules in platform competitions!” Lian Qianjun called from a distance, ”As long as you don’t use firearms, any other weapon is fine!”

The Ren Family man scratched his head and said, ”But what kind of weapon is this kitchen knife considered?”

”If it can fight, why do you care what it is?” someone from the Pingbei Province side called out boldly, ”What, are you scared?”

”Nonsense!” the Ren Family man shouted back, ”You think you can intimidate someone with a kitchen knife? I’ll have you kneeling and calling me grandpa in a moment!”

With those words, the Ren Family man charged with urgency, heading straight for Xiao Hei.

Su Yang watched from below and saw that Xiao Hei’s aura of killing intent surged violently. He gripped the kitchen knife tightly and charged head-on toward the Ren Family man.

In head-to-head combat, Xiao Hei was kicked in the chest by the Ren Family man and stumbled back several steps.

A gasp went up from the surrounding crowd; even Wang Jing Lei couldn’t withstand the man’s attack — was Xiao Hei about to die from this hit?

Qi and blood churned within Xiao Hei’s body, but he managed to steady himself. The killing aura within him climbed again, and his eyes started to turn red, like a wild beast provoked.

”Damn, he can still stand?”

”This kid has some skills!”

”So what? No matter how skilled he is, he’s no match for the Ren Family!”

Amidst the commotion of the crowd, the two clashed directly again, and once more Xiao Hei was pushed back.

But with every retreat, Xiao Hei’s aura of killing intent rose higher. He suffered no injuries; external attacks couldn’t extinguish his killing intent entirely, so as long as it remained, he wouldn’t die. Such was the terrifying nature of the activated Destiny’s Killer Body!

After five consecutive collisions, each time Xiao Hei was struck. But each time, the distance he was pushed back shortened. On the last hit, he received a blow from the Ren Family man and didn’t budge at all, standing his ground firmly.

The people below were dumbfounded; such a turn of events was entirely beyond their expectations. They couldn’t understand how Xiao Hei could possess such strength. In just a short period, he was matching the Ren Family man?

The Ren Family man also felt that something was amiss. He took a deep breath and prepared to use the same finishing move he had used against Wang Jing Lei, readying to strike Xiao Hei down with all his might.

Xiao Hei also picked up his kitchen knife and surged into the range of the Ren Family man’s hands, taking the hits head-on as he launched his attack.

After several clashes, the Ren Family man suddenly screamed in agony. He had been cleaved by Xiao Hei’s knife on his left arm, blood spurted out, and the pain made the Ren Family man stagger back repeatedly.

Shocked gasps filled the air, while the people from the Hou Family cheered. A question pondered in everyone’s hearts: Could Xiao Hei possibly win this?
