In Taoyuan Village Square, thousands of villagers gathered, craning their necks to look at the two people in the middle of the square.
The village chief, a burly man over six feet tall, suddenly charged towards Xia Tianqiong with a crescent-shaped blade held upside down in his right hand.
The two were several meters apart, yet they rushed in front of each other in the blink of an eye.
The crescent blade glowed with a faint green light as it swept out from behind, slashing upwards at an angle.
The movements were simple, yet extremely swift.
From the moment he set off until he unleashed that strike, the entire process took only a second or two.
The speed is astonishing!
Many viewers couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, as it was the first time they had seen the village chief make a move, and they hadn't expected him to be so fast.
Xia Tianqiong felt it more acutely; even though she was mentally prepared, she was still slightly surprised.
He leaned back quickly, reached out with his right hand, and a jade sword appeared from his ring.
He gripped the hilt of the sword and swung it fiercely.
"bite!"
A crisp clanging sound was heard as the crescent blade was blocked by the longsword.
Xia Tianqiong felt a tremendous force coming from her, her arm went numb, and she had to take three steps back to steady herself.
The village chief merely paused and took a half-step back.
Xia Tianqiong frowned. If he hadn't advanced to the level of a mighty villager, he might not have been able to withstand even this one strike. The village chief was indeed not easy to deal with.
Another thing that puzzled him was that his jade sword could cut through space, yet it hadn't damaged the village chief's broadsword at all.
The crescent-shaped blade glowed with a green light, clearly filled with the power of the underworld, and may even possess some special effects.
The village chief suddenly laughed, "Not bad, take another one of my cuts."
He charged again, this time even faster.
Xia Tianqiong was not afraid at all and went to meet him with his sword.
The two exchanged blows, one wielding a sword and the other a blade, their fighting evenly matched. However, the village chief was clearly stronger and his techniques were more refined, while Xia Tianqiong was slightly faster and more agile.
The two fought fiercely and ended up in a stalemate.
The surrounding villagers were dazzled by the sight, feeling that their eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of the two fighters' exchange.
"Reaching the Mighty level so quickly! If this person were to participate in the Olympics, he would absolutely crush all the world champions."
"I didn't expect the village chief to be so powerful. With his strength and speed that far exceed those of ordinary people, most ghost hunters would probably be killed by him before they could even use their magic."
"How did this guy reach the Mighty level? I kill monsters non-stop from morning till night, and I've only barely reached the Mighty level. How did he reach it so quickly?"
"So what if he's at the Mighty level? Can't you see he's been at a disadvantage the whole time? In my opinion, he'll be defeated by the village chief very soon."
"Holy crap, is the village chief unleashing some kind of ultimate move?"
While the villagers were discussing the incident, the village chief suddenly launched a long-range attack.
He slashed out with his sword from four or five meters away from Xia Tianqiong, and a green light shot out from the blade!
The blade light was arc-shaped, like a rhythmic wave of light, moving so fast that it was impossible to see clearly.
Xia Tianqiong's pupils contracted sharply. He only had time to turn slightly to the side before the blade struck his left shoulder.
The reflect effect of the counter-damage pendant was triggered, and the blade light instantly bounced back along its original path, striking the village chief squarely on the shoulder.
Instantly, the skin was torn open, and blood was everywhere.
The village chief paused for a moment, looked at the wound on his shoulder, and then suddenly grinned and said, "Not bad, it seems I need to take this seriously."
As he spoke, his body suddenly began to swell.
He became like the Hulk, his muscles bulging and his skin turning light green.
It was obvious that his body was covered with a layer of ghostly power, and the wound on his shoulder was healing rapidly.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, realizing that the village chief had even more powerful methods up his sleeve.
Some people started to worry about Xia Tianqiong. They were evenly matched to begin with, and now he might not be able to defeat the village chief.
However, many others gloated, hoping the village chief would kill Xia Tianqiong with a single blow. It was all because his level was higher than everyone else's; being high-level was one thing, but showing off like that was infuriating.
Xia Tianqiong stood opposite the village chief, her expression remaining calm. "Since that's the case, it's time to end this."
He suddenly sheathed his longsword, then took out the Golden Horn Spear and pointed the tip at the village chief.
The reason we didn't use this mysterious artifact from the beginning was that we didn't want the story to end too quickly.
He wanted to demonstrate his strength to the other villagers, which would make it easier to recruit them later.
The village chief's smiling face suddenly froze, his eyes fixed on the golden horn spear.
“Brave warrior, that’s not fair of you. Why didn’t you bring out this strange artifact sooner? If you had brought it out earlier, I would have handed over the position of village chief to you.”
As he spoke, he quickly moved his body to avoid the direction of the spear tip, while shrinking his body back to its original form.
Xia Tianqiong was slightly taken aback. "Are you planning to admit defeat?"
"Of course, I concede. From now on, you are the village chief of Peach Blossom Village."
These words left the thousands of people present completely bewildered.
How come the village chief surrendered just because a gun was pulled out?
What kind of magical artifact is this? Is it incredibly powerful?
It was at this time that people noticed the writing on the dome of summer had changed.
It has become "Peach Blossom Village - Mighty Village Chief".
The former village chief walked up to Xia Tianqiong with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and then addressed the crowd.
"Fellow villagers, anyone who disagrees may challenge the new village chief. He cannot refuse. Whoever defeats him will succeed as village chief, who will then have the authority to issue tasks."
Also, please note that only public challenges are valid; a sneak attack, even if it kills the new village chief, will not count.
The crowd looked at each other, many were tempted, but none dared to step forward.
