Chapter 180 Challenge (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
"What? He refused?"

Wenren Jiangbo suddenly sat up from the beauty's arms and said in disbelief, "He actually dared to reject me?"

"Su Mu said——"

The guard said hesitantly.

"what did he say?"

Wenren Jiangbo said with a gloomy face.

"He said, if he agreed to any challenge from anyone, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?"

The guard whispered.

"He said I was a nobody?"

Wenren Jiangbo laughed angrily and said coldly, "You didn't tell him who I am?"

"I said that."

The guard said with a bitter face, "But he asked me, sir, are you an official?"

"What does this have to do with official status? He is just a small sixth-rank lieutenant, but he really thinks he is an official?"

Wenren Jiangbo said.

He just didn't want to enter the officialdom, otherwise, with his family background, he would at least be a fourth-rank official by now.

A mere sixth rank was not taken seriously by him at all.

"Su Mu said that he is an official and the young master is a commoner. He has responsibilities, unlike the young master..."

The guard hesitated for a moment, but continued, "Unlike you who are idle, he doesn't have time to play with you."

"He said competing with me was just for fun? Is he looking down on me?"

Wenren Jiangbo said angrily, "He thinks that because he ranks one place higher than me on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, he has the right to look down on me?
This is simply unreasonable!

Where is the man surnamed Su? He has to accept my challenge whether he wants to or not!
If he dares to refuse me, I will make sure he can't even be a Taiping lieutenant!"

Click!

Wenren Jiangbo slapped the bed.

The bed was shattered to pieces, and the beauties fell into a pile of wood chips with screams.

"When I found him, he was outside the city guarding the outskirts of Daxing Mountain, but I heard that he was going back to the Taiping Division Yamen. He should be there now."

The guard said.

"Let's go to the Taiping Division Office!"

Wenren Jiangbo raised his foot and walked out.

…………

Wuling City, Taipingsi Yamen.

"Wenren Jiangbo wanted to challenge you, and you refused?"

Zhao Po Nu said with a look of shock.

"There is no law in Daxuan that states that if he challenges me, I must accept it, right?"

Su Mu shrugged and said, "We are so busy with the work of the Taiping Division, how can I have the time to play with him?
There would be no benefit to me if I won a duel with him, and it would be even worse if I lost.

What do you think I want?"

"That makes sense."

Zhao Po Nu pondered.

He was secretly glad.

Fortunately, he had broken through to the Zhenyuan realm before.

Otherwise, once the Dragon and Tiger List is released, he, as the pacification envoy, will be suppressed by his Taiping Captain. How can he carry out his work then?
He knew that there were several pacification envoys at the Transmigration Realm on the Transmigration List, and their rankings were far lower than those talented Taiping Captains.

In the Taiping Division, to be promoted to Zhenfushi, one must cultivate to the Zhenyuan Realm. Some places do not have the Zhenyuan Realm, so it is possible to accumulate merits and be promoted to Zhenfushi even if one has cultivated to the Tuotai Realm.

This was the situation with Zhao Po Nu before.

Therefore, not every pacification envoy is stronger than the Taiping Commandant.

Of course, Taiping captains like Su Mu, Mei Yingfeng, and Lin Qihuan are rare.

"That being said, I heard that Wenren Jiangbo is an extremely difficult character."

Zhao Po Nu pondered and said, "You may not have much contact with the children of such aristocratic families, but they will basically do whatever they want to do.

He wants to challenge you, and if you don't accept, he will pester you."

"This is Wuling, I am the Taiping Captain, and he is just a commoner."

Su Mu said calmly, "How can I be afraid of him?
If he persists, I don't mind putting him in the prison of the Taiping Division to sober him up."

Zhao Po Nu: “…”

He had heard before that when Su Mu was defending the city, he killed Xie Zuowen, the commander-in-chief of the Wuling City Defense Force, because of a disagreement.

In the past, Zhao Po Nu thought that Su Mu had a steady personality and was not as cruel as the rumors said.

Now it seems that I really know too little about Su Mu.

There are probably not many people in the entire Daxuan who dare to put Wenren Jiangbo in jail.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Just then, there was a sound of drums outside the door.

"Su Mu, come out!"

Then, a loud shout was heard.

"You coward, if you don't dare to accept my challenge, then give up the second place on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking and the Reborn Ranking. You don't deserve it!"

The voice rang out over Wuling City.

Soon, a group of people gathered on the road in front of the Taipingsi government office to watch the fun.

"Come on."

Zhao Po Nu said helplessly.

He had seen a lot of aristocratic families who acted without scruples.

Su Mu is targeted by Wenren Jiangbo. Unless he can defeat Wenren Jiangbo and scare him, Wenren Jiangbo will definitely pester him and will not give up until he achieves his goal.

"I'd better go out and persuade him."

Zhao Po Nu said.

"Will he give you face?"

Su Mu asked back.

Zhao Po Nu looked a little embarrassed.

The fourth-rank pacification envoy of the Taiping Division is a very powerful position.

But someone like Wenren Jiangbo probably wouldn't take a fourth-rank pacification envoy seriously.

The Wen family in Jiangzuo had three prime ministers. Although it is no longer as prosperous as it was, there is still one second-rank, two third-rank, and countless fourth-rank people in the court.

Wenren Jiangbo is a direct descendant of the Wenren family, so he may not give him face.

If he was really rejected in person, Zhao Po Nu would be extremely embarrassed.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Su Mu smiled and said, "I'll solve it myself.

I gave him a chance, but he failed, so it's not my fault."

After saying that, Su Mu walked out.

"Captain Su, Wenren Jiangbo is a very special person, please stop here."

Zhao Po Nu was slightly startled, not understanding what Su Mu wanted to do, but he immediately reminded him, "Although our Taiping Division is not afraid of the Wen family, there is no need to tear our faces with them."

Su Mu waved his hand with his back to Zhao Po Nu, indicating that he understood.

…………

When Su Mu walked out of the Taiping Division Yamen, he was also shocked by Wenren Jiangbo's pomp and circumstance.

Outside the Taipingsi government office, a dozen people were carrying a huge sedan chair with a young man sitting on it.

Behind the young man, there were several beauties fanning him with paper fans.

There was actually a huge drum next to the sedan chair.

The drum sound just now came from it.

Su Mu had seen one with its own background music, but he had never seen one with its own drums. Su Mu really wanted to ask Wenren Jiangbo, do you have another nickname called Mr. Kongxu?
"Are you Su Mu?"

Seeing Su Mu coming out of the Taiping Division Yamen, Wenren Jiangbo sat up straight, his eyes fell on Su Mu, and he said coldly, "I thought you didn't dare to show up.

If you are a man, accept my challenge and let those ignorant people in Bai Xiao Tang see who is stronger between the two of us. "

"I don't need to prove to you whether I am a man or not."

Su Mu said calmly, "I am even less familiar with the people in Bai Xiao Tang, so I have no control over what happens to them.

You have gathered a crowd to disturb the Taiping Division. Do you believe that I can put you in jail right now?"

"Throw me into jail?"

Wenren Jiangbo laughed loudly, "Okay, come on, let me see, what skills do you have to take me down?"

His body swayed and he fell from the sedan chair to the ground. With a crack, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the bluestone floor.

The moment he landed, a guard immediately handed him a long sword, and the hilt just happened to appear under Wenren Jiangbo's hand.

He drew his sword effortlessly.

It's just this one move, and I don't know how many times the guard has practiced it.

Otherwise it would be impossible to hand the sword so accurately.

Wenren Jiangbo shook his wrist and made a beautiful sword flower, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Su Mu.

"Aren't you going to put me in jail? Come on, draw your Thunder Blade!"

Wenren Jiangbo said.

Su Mu stood on the steps, his expression calm.

He looked down at Wenren Jiangbo and asked, "Are you sure you want to challenge me?"

"If you don't dare to accept the challenge, that's fine. Kneel down and kowtow to me. Admit that you are not as strong as me, and I will not embarrass you."

Wenren Jiangbo said proudly.

"It's your own fault and you won't survive."

Su Mu said expressionlessly, "Wenren Jiangbo, you are ranked third on the Dragon and Tiger Rebirth List, and I am second.

I accept your challenge. If I beat you, I won't get any benefit. If I lose to you, I will move from second to third. Tell me, why should I accept your challenge?"

"It seems you know you are no match for me."

Wenren Jiangbo laughed.

"Whether he is your opponent or not is another matter."

Su Mu said calmly, "If you want me to accept your challenge, fine, but since it's a challenge, there must be a prize.

You win, and you take the second place on the Dragon and Tiger Rebirth List.

But if I win, shouldn't you also lose something to me?"

Wenren Jiangbo frowned, he felt something was wrong. If he won, the second place on the Dragon and Tiger Rebirth List would definitely be his. It wasn't Su Mu who lost to him.

But he couldn't think of how to refute Su Mu.

Losing the second position is indeed a loss.

"Someone, bring me my Jade Water Sword!"

After thinking for a while, Wenren Jiangbo said loudly.

"Green Water Sword? Could it be the Green Water Sword that ranks tenth on the list of divine weapons?"

"As expected of the son of the Wen family, your moves are extraordinary!"

"The sword in Master Wenren's hand must be one of the ones on the Divine Weapons List, one of the top Divine Weapons List. He actually has two steps on it!"

There was a whisper among the crowd watching.

The sound of discussion reached Su Mu's ears, and he watched a guard hurriedly fetch a long sword with a scabbard.

"This sword will be used as a bet."

Wenren Jiangbo pointed at the long sword in the guard's hand and said, "It ranks tenth on the list of divine weapons. It should be enough to make up for your loss, right?"

"not enough."

Su Mu shook his head calmly and said, "My face is not that cheap.

You, Wenren Jiangbo, shouldn't be so stingy."

"Am I stingy?"

Wenren Jiangbo was so angry that he laughed, "Someone, bring me the book of Transformation Technique that I got not long ago!"

"Master——"

One of the guards he brought with him changed his expression and reminded, "Isn't the stakes a bit too high?"

"Why, do you think I will lose?"

Wenren Jiangbo looked back at him and said coldly.

"Of course not, Young Master is invincible—"

The guard said quickly.

"Since I won't lose, what does it matter if the stakes are high?"

Wenren Jiangbo sneered, "You only need to follow my orders, no need to question them!"

Although the guard was still a little worried, he could do nothing since Wenren Jiangbo had already said it to this extent.

He could only reluctantly ask his companion to bring the thing that Wenren Jiangbo mentioned.

After a while, a secret book was delivered to Wenren Jiangbo.

"Su Mu, this is the Xiaoxiang Rebirth Technique that I obtained when I killed a powerful enemy not long ago."

Wenren Jiangbo said proudly, “You come from a humble background, so you may not understand it.

I can tell you that Xiaoxiang Transformation Technique is one of the most powerful transmigration techniques in the world, and is not much inferior to my Wenren's Tianpeng Transformation Technique and your Taipingsi's Shenhuang Transformation Technique.

I'm now putting it and the Jade Water Sword as a bet. If you can beat me, they'll all be yours."

"If it's the True Essence Method, then it's enough, but what's the use of the Rebirth Method for me?"

Su Mu shook his head and said.

"You don't need them anymore, but you can donate them to the Peace Department."

Wenren Jiangbo didn't get carried away this time. As for the Zhenyuan Method, not to mention that he couldn't take it out, even if he could, he was not willing to use it as a bet.

"As far as I know, if you offer this Xiaoxiang Rebirth Art to the Taiping Division, you will definitely get a lot of benefits. Even exchanging it for a Zhenyuan method is not impossible."

Wenren Jiangbo sneered, "You are being so reluctant, isn't it because you don't dare to fight me?
The Jade Water Sword plus the Xiaoxiang Rebirth Technique are enough to buy your life!"

Seeing that Jiang Bo was getting a little anxious, Su Mu decided to stop while he was ahead.

If we force him any further, I'm afraid we'll end up with nothing.

"Okay, I'll just take a loss."

Su Mu sighed and said slowly, "Everyone, please be my witness. With these two things as the stakes, I accept Wenren Jiangbo's challenge."

The faces of the onlookers all showed excitement.

Such a wonderful scene is not usually seen in Wuling City.

Those two bets alone were enough to get everyone excited.

A magic sword that ranks high on the list of magic weapons, and the Xiaoxiang Rebirth Technique that is among the strongest rebirth methods in the world, any one of them is enough to become a family heirloom of a big family.

He really is worthy of being the eldest son of the Wen family. No one in Wuling City can match his talent.

"Draw the sword!"

Wenren Jiangbo pointed his sword at Su Mu and shouted, "If you want to use the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow, that's fine too. This young master is not afraid of your Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow."

"For a martial arts competition, there is no need to use the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow."

Su Mu smiled and said calmly, "I don't think you will accept the victory with the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow.

I won't take advantage of you, you should make the first move, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have the chance to make the first move."

"You look down on me?"

Wenren Jiangbo narrowed his eyes slightly, anger flashing in his pupils, "If that's the case, then you can die!"

He roared and thrust his sword out, accompanied by a sharp sword whistling sound. In front of everyone's eyes, it seemed as if a river of water fell from the sky and surged towards Su Mu.
