"So what?" Xiao Chen raised his eyes and said, "We both have the same head and shoulders. It's just that he's a little older than me."
"Besides..." Xiao Chen looked at Hong Qing: "Old Hong is old, and this world has become a world for young people."
"Okay, okay, good boy, very arrogant." Hong Qing laughed angrily.
He stared at Xiao Chen and shouted in a deep voice: "I'll give you three moves, let's start."
"No, you old man, don't give way to me, I'm young." Xiao Chen smiled at Tao Meng: "You go out first, I didn't tell you not to come in."
"But..." Tao Meng wanted to say something, but Xiao Chen interrupted her.
"You don't believe me?"
Under Xiao Chen's gaze, Tao Meng opened her mouth, but finally nodded slightly and walked out.
"I'm old, and if I still attack a youngster like you, I will be ridiculed by people in the underworld if I tell others about it." Hong Qing smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Since you are the junior, I will let you make the first move today."
"Senior Hong is indeed a senior in the martial arts world, very magnanimous." Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up, not hiding the sarcasm in his tone.
"Go ahead." Hong Qing's brows were slightly furrowed, and his tone was already somewhat displeased.
"Senior Hong is already old, yet he still comes out to fight with others. If he hadn't abandoned his wife and children earlier, he should have many children and grandchildren now at his age, right?" Xiao Chen did not take action, he just said with a smile.
These words made Hong Qing's expression change suddenly. He looked at Xiao Chen coldly, with a chill in his eyes.
Yes, when he was young, Hong Qing married and had children like most people.
But after experiencing a life-and-death situation, his character underwent a tremendous change.
He left without saying goodbye and traveled the world in search of higher realms in martial arts.
After searching for him for three years in vain, his wife committed suicide by burning herself with her four-year-old son.
Although he has never stopped exploring martial arts over the years, he still feels a dull pain in his heart whenever he thinks of this incident.
Yes, if I hadn’t been so stubborn back then, I would have a large family now, right?
Even though his current strength can be called that of a master, what happened in the past is an indelible pain in his heart.
These things are destined to become his inner demons and stumbling blocks that hinder his progress.
He originally thought that he would forget these things with time, but he didn't expect Xiao Chen to bring it up suddenly.
"Senior Hong, do you think I'm right? Whether it's martial arts, endless wealth, or supreme power."
"But when people live in this world, they always have to leave something behind."
"You are destined to never break through the Ninth Realm in this lifetime. Ninety is already the limit. After you die, I'm afraid there won't even be anyone to pay tribute to you on Qingming Festival. So, what is the purpose of pursuing the ultimate limit of martial arts?"
"Shut up, you idiot." Hong Qing was furious. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Chen: "Today I just wanted to cut off your hands and feet and make you a cripple."
"But since you have insulted me like this, no one can save your life today."
"Old man, please don't get excited. I'm not saying that you will have no descendants." Xiao Chen looked innocent.
We were chatting happily, why did his expression suddenly change?
"You..." Hong Qing stared at Xiao Chen hatefully. Without saying a word, he flicked his sleeves, slightly shifted his feet, and attacked Xiao Chen with a throat-locking move.
He couldn't bear it anymore, and Xiao Chen's few words broke his mood.
Wife and children dead? No descendants? This really hit him sore spot.
So he was vicious and every move he made was a killing move.
Xiao Chen spread his hands apart, took a step aside, and swung his hand to grab Hong Qing's throat.
Bang... The opponent's hidden power attacked, and Xiao Chen retreated several steps.
Wow, he is worthy of being someone who has reached the fourth realm. His hidden energy is strong and powerful. You can’t confront him head-on.
Hong Qing was a little surprised to see Xiao Chen easily take his chokehold.
Then his hands were as fast as lightning, and his attack came towards Xiao Chen like a storm.
However, Xiao Chen, who had mastered the Wind and Thunder Breaking technique taught by his master, handled it with ease.
Fengleipo, as the name suggests, moves as fast as the wind and sounds like thunder.
It was originally a Taoist Heart Sutra that could subdue demons.
Therefore, Xiao Chen's body movements were extremely fast. Although he did not confront Hong Qing head-on, his body movements seemed somewhat strange to the other party.
"Do you really think you can get away with this strange body movement?"
Hong Qing snorted coldly. Suddenly, he raised his arms, his sleeves fluttered, and a fierce aura locked onto Xiao Chen.
Once his body was locked, Xiao Chen would have nowhere to escape.
Then he shouted softly and punched Xiao Chen in the chest.
After all, he was at the fourth level of Dark Energy. This attack left Xiao Chen with no way to retreat. He had to muster all his strength and punch him.
Bang...fists collide.
Xiao Chen's Wind and Thunder Break took effect at this moment.
With a buzzing sound, a powerful energy spread out in all directions with the two people's fists as the center.
The two men each retreated three steps, the difference was that Xiao Chen's body swayed a few more times than Hong Qing.
The level of dark energy of both sides is immediately clear.
"Your hidden energy is not the internal energy of any sect. It is a bit like the breathing method of Tianshi Mansion." Hong Qing's expression changed slightly.
"What is your relationship with the Tianshi Mansion?"
"It is indeed somewhat related, but I won't elaborate on what it is." Xiao Chen waved his hand: "Senior's punch was incredibly powerful."
"But you wield a sword yourself, Senior. Why don't you show me your Yuqing Sword?"
"Good boy, there are not many people who can take my palm. It seems that I underestimated your strength." Hong Qing put away the shocked look on his face.
He stretched out his right hand and broke off a lucky bamboo.
"You are much more difficult to deal with than your senior brother. If you keep holding back, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble today."
"Is it possible that you've already failed?" Xiao Chen said with a hint of meaning.
Hong Qing slowly raised his right hand, his expression changed slightly, and his right hand, which had been used to fight Xiao Chen, had become bruised without him noticing.
"You are plotting against me?" Hong Qing lost his composure.
"All's fair in war." Xiao Chen took off a ring from the middle finger of his right hand.
Then he threw the ring aside and said to himself, "Just a little bit of Lin Fang's poison can bring down an elephant."
"I've increased the dosage now, so it should be effective against internal martial arts masters, right?"
"Despicable..." Hong Qing's eyes turned red instantly. When they were fighting just now, he felt something piercing his right middle finger.
But he didn't care. Who knew that the barbs on the ring that Xiao Chen wore on his hand were poisoned by him.
Although it is still unknown what kind of poison Xiao Chen has taken, Hong Qing now feels that he can no longer muster any strength.
Even the hidden energy in the body was slowly dissipating.
