Singing with a Sword

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! This terrifying feathered arrow, formed from condensed flames, exuded a powerful aura! It surprised, and even terrified, everyone present! Fatty Xu Chu looked tremblingly at the stage and murmured, "Senior Brother, Huangfu... Huangfu won't be alright, will he?"

Jian Yun interjected, "Senior Brother, quickly make Huangfu surrender! The power of that arrow is too great, I... I'm afraid he can't withstand it!"

"Yes, Senior Brother, please speak up!"

But Yi Ranxiao still looked at Huangfu Cheng with unwavering confidence and said, "Don't worry, Huangfu will be fine. Hehe, don't forget, he hasn't even used his full power yet!" As she said this, she recalled the scene at Debao Money Exchange that day...

Wu Changfeng on the high platform was quite surprised today, but he had no time to be surprised now. He was tense and focused on the arena. As long as Huangfu Cheng was unable to resist Han Shuo's rocket, he would make his move immediately!

Han Shuo had drawn his iron bow to its fullest extent! This was a full-force attack! "Come on, Huangfu Cheng, I'll show you what true fear is!"

The rocket on the bowstring emitted a "zzzz" sound, its entire body spitting out flames, and the surrounding air began to become blurry, even melting away!

"Huangfu Cheng, you can die!" Han Shuo shouted, preparing to fire his arrow! But just then, a monkey's cry suddenly came from behind Han Shuo.

"Huh?" Han Shuo's heart tightened. There seemed to be something behind him. He glanced over out of the corner of his eye and saw two huge fists smashing down on his head!

boom!

Han Shuo had no time to defend himself and was directly hit by the two suddenly appearing giant fists! Moreover, his body was actually shoved into the arena! The incredibly powerful "rocket" disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was stunned. A monkey had appeared behind Han Shuo? Was this monkey Huangfu Cheng's spirit beast? But when did it appear? Even Wu Changfeng was dumbfounded. That's right, everyone was focused on Han Shuo's "rocket" just now, and their attention was completely diverted! Huangfu Cheng must have taken advantage of this gap to let the monkey get behind Han Shuo!

The giant ape smashed Han Shuo's head repeatedly, but it didn't smash Han Shuo's head open. It just "buried" him alive in the arena, leaving only his head sticking out.

"Gaga~" the ape cried cheerfully. Then it hopped and skipped to Huangfu Cheng's side. This ape was his spirit beast, the giant ape warrior! He had appeared before at the Debao Money Exchange.

Wu Changfeng was startled. A giant ape warrior? Could it be... could this kid from the Divine Wind Hall be Huangfu Cheng, the former prodigy of the Beast Taming Hall and the most promising heir to the Huangfu family? No wonder he looked so familiar; it was this kid. But wasn't he supposed to be living in seclusion in the mountains? Didn't he give up cultivation? Why is he so radiant and imposing today?

Han Shuo was slammed into the arena and unable to get out, clearly defeated. However, he was unwilling to accept defeat and roared at Huangfu Cheng, "You cheated! You cheated!"

Huangfu Cheng chuckled and said, "Brother Han Shuo, the main technique I, Huangfu Cheng, practice is beast taming. How can using my spirit beast in battle be considered cheating?"

Han Shuo opened his mouth, but said nothing. He felt increasingly ashamed and annoyed: This guy even deliberately emphasized that beast taming was his main technique! The implication was that he hadn't been serious from the beginning, and had only used some techniques that he wasn't very good at, yet he had already forced Han Shuo to use his final ultimate move!

What a disgrace! What a disgrace! Han Shuo really wanted that wretched ape to come over and punch him a few more times, burying him completely under the ring.

"First match, Shenfeng Hall wins!" Wu Changfeng announced loudly, still surprised. Although he was an elder of the Vanguard Hall and desperately wanted to help Han Shuo, even secretly sabotaging his victory, Han Shuo's defeat was too crushing and too blatant! How could he help him?

"What?!" Xu An was also stunned. The trash from Shenfeng Hall actually won against Senior Brother Han?! It's alright, it's alright. Senior Brother Han must have been careless. When my cousin Xu Chen goes on stage later, as long as he's careful, he can definitely easily win back a game!

"Yay!" At the same time, the fat Xu Chu was the first to shout out! The Shenfeng Hall disciples who accompanied him were stunned for a moment before they also cheered and jumped for joy. They won! They actually won! And they won so brilliantly and smoothly! It can be said that Huangfu Cheng completely crushed the second best young master of the Vanguard Hall! This is a morale booster! In a daze, everyone felt that they had grown a few centimeters taller.

Yi Ranxiao smiled slightly, appearing very calm. He had witnessed the combat power of Huangfu Cheng's spirit beasts, so taking down Han Shuo wouldn't be a problem. Moreover, he understood that Huangfu Cheng's ability to control beasts was not limited to this; he must have even more powerful tricks up his sleeve!

The disciples of Xianfeng Hall were stunned. How could this be? Senior Brother Han Shuo actually lost? And lost so badly? Was this a dream? Several disciples immediately pinched their thighs, then let out a groan. Damn it, it's real! Second Senior Brother really lost!

Poor Han Shuo was still in the ground. Huangfu Cheng came over and tried to pull him out, but Han Shuo said fiercely, "Get out of my way! I don't need your help!" He looked at Elder Wu and said with a mournful face, "Elder Wu, please...please save your disciple!"

Wu Changfeng felt incredibly ashamed. After all, Han Shuo was a disciple of his Vanguard Hall, and this defeat was truly humiliating! As an elder, he felt utterly disgraced. He immediately flashed onto the arena, grabbed Han Shuo by the shoulder, and dragged him off. Han Shuo then fled off the arena in a disheveled state.

Xu Chen walked over and comforted him, "Senior brother, I know you were careless. I will definitely win the next match!" After saying that, he clenched his fist, expressing his strong fighting spirit, and then jumped up and onto the stage.

Immediately, Xu An shouted loudly from below, "Go, Big Brother! Go, Big Brother!" Then the disciples of Xianfeng Hall also cheered for Xu Chen.

In this match, Shenfeng Hall naturally sent Wei Wuzheng. Wei Wuzheng, leaning on his crutch, slowly and even somewhat laboriously walked onto the arena. The disciples of Xianfeng Hall were utterly astonished—how…how could he be a cripple?!

Xu Chen stared at Wei Wuzheng in astonishment; he was actually disabled! Was this a sign of contempt for him?

Wei Wuzheng was already used to strangers scrutinizing him with astonished looks, as long as they didn't call him a cripple. But some people just had to be slapped in the face—

"Hey, can't you guys at Shenfeng Hall show me some respect? You should at least send someone normal up here. After all this time, you sent a cripple to fight me! That's not fair!" Xu Chen said, clearly dissatisfied.

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuzheng's gaze suddenly turned sinister and terrifying. This kid actually called him a cripple! Unforgivable! Xu Chen felt a chill run down his spine when he saw him; this guy didn't seem weak at all!

The Shenfengtang members below watched Xu Chen with amusement, thinking to themselves, "You're finished. You've committed a grave offense. Last time, some shameless scoundrel dared to call Wei Wuzheng a cripple, and Wei Wuzheng nearly beat that man to death."

Wu Changfeng was a master, and he could naturally tell that this cripple was very powerful and also a master; so he looked at Xu Chen and told him with his eyes not to underestimate him. Xu Chen understood, looked at Wei Wuzheng, and said, "I am Xu Chen from the Vanguard Hall."

Wei Wuzheng said coldly, "I am Wei Wuzheng of the Divine Wind Hall!" As soon as they finished speaking, Wu Changfeng announced loudly, "The second round of the competition begins!"

Xu Chen immediately flipped his hand and took out a silver-white spear. With a flick of his wrist, he pointed it at Wei Wuzheng. Wei Wuzheng's right hand, gripping his iron crutch, tightened a few times, but that was all.

Xu Chen moved swiftly, spear in hand, charging straight at Wei Wuzheng. He thought to himself, "You're a cripple, your legs are weak, then I'll use my agile spearmanship to defeat you!"

Wei Wuzheng's disability was indeed a disadvantage—to be more precise, it was his disadvantage in the past. Now, he has already independently developed a set of moves—standing still on one leg, using his iron crutch as a weapon, he can use various moves and routines to entangle with his opponent.

Xu Chen thrust his spear forward, expecting Wei Wuzheng to be caught off guard. However, Wei Wuzheng swung his iron crutch, and with a clang, Xu Chen's spear was deflected!
