As time passed, the end of the year soon arrived. This world also has a New Year, and the most popular event this year was the duel between the Food Fragrance Pavilion and the Monster Hunting Club.
"Tomorrow is the duel time. If Jiang Yun doesn't show up, then there is no need for the Food Fragrance Pavilion to exist."
Someone from the Monster Hunting Society came to deliver a message.
"Jiang Yun has been missing for several days and there's no guarantee he'll show up tomorrow. This time, Shixiang Pavilion is willing to admit defeat and increase the price of monster meat by 30% going forward."
Uncle Fu said bluntly, "This competition is becoming increasingly unsettling, and it seems to be targeting the Food Fragrance Pavilion."
"It's too late. This fight is known to everyone in the market. Jiang Yun's evil deeds must be repaid with blood. If Jiang Yun can't show up, find someone to replace him."
"you...."
Uncle Fu didn't expect that even if he admitted defeat, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
After the people from the Monster Hunting Club left, several people from the Food Fragrance Pavilion gathered together.
"Let's go, everyone. There aren't many spirit stones left, 10 per person. Don't stay in Ziyun Market."
Uncle Fu handed the spirit stones to Wu You and Lin Jie, who had just arrived. Uncle Fu looked at Wu You, who looked reluctant, and took out another 10 yuan and handed it to him.
"Uncle Fu, take care!"
Wu You took Lin Jie away anyway. If they stayed, it would only distract Uncle Fu.
"Xindao, you should also go out and hide. It seems that this matter is not just a problem of the Golden Tiger Gang."
Uncle Fu knew that the Golden Tiger Gang alone couldn't possibly possess such immense power. It was normal for the Monster Hunters to cooperate, but the attitude of the Ziyunfang City executives was somewhat strange.
"No, I was also saved by the young lady. This time I will consider it as repayment. I will go into battle tomorrow!" Zhang Xindao said, wiping the sword in the hand of the wiper.
"No, if I go on stage, I still have a chance of coming down alive, but it will be dangerous for you. I'll go tomorrow."
After Uncle Fu finished speaking, Zhang Xindao couldn't say anything more and turned around and went back to the back room.
Soon, the next day arrived, and most of the cultivators in Ziyun Market came to the duel arena in the market.
"Wu You! Lin Jie!"
Uncle Fu, who had just opened the door, discovered that Wu You and Lin Jie's heads had been placed at the main entrance. He stared at the lobby in horror.
"This is too much! This is too much!"
Uncle Fu didn't expect that the other party would not even let go of two mortals. Are they going to wipe out the entire Shixiang Pavilion?
He suddenly thought of something and hurried to the room next to the kitchen. He opened the door and found it was empty.
"New Dao, New Dao!" But then Uncle Fu looked around the Food Fragrance Pavilion and didn't find the other party.
"It's okay to leave, it's okay." Uncle Fu buried Wu You and the others' heads in the ground in the backyard with a depressed look. He sat at the table, and suddenly his mind recalled what the young lady had said.
"Uncle Fu, I know he won't give up. Just stay here and take care of him. No matter what, I am the one who is sorry for him."
"Miss, I didn't do my job well."
Uncle Fu took out the message talisman, wrote his final words on it, and left the Food Fragrance Pavilion.
Fighting is not allowed in Ziyun Market, but if there is a conflict between cultivators and a duel is necessary, as long as both parties agree, they can go to the duel arena to determine the winner, even to the death. This is also a standard feature of many markets.
The duel arena in Ziyun Market was particularly lively today. Most of the cultivators came here to watch the duel that had shocked the entire market.
"Since Jiang Yun didn't make it today, you will take his place. Then our Monster Hunting Association will also send a mid-stage cultivator to replace Han Ziwen."
"Okay, I'll be there anytime!"
"You're such a hero, you're willing to go this far for a friend you don't even know. It's a shame the person you're fighting for isn't a good one. Let me fight with you. Bring me the life and death contract."
After the two people on the ring signed a life and death contract, the duel began amid the shouts of the monks below the stage.
“Stop! Stop!”
Just as the two people on the stage were about to duel, they were suddenly interrupted by a voice.
The crowd quickly made way for a path. The person coming from the stage was none other than Uncle Fu who had just arrived.
"Xin Dao, why are you doing this? I should be the one fighting in Shixiang Pavilion. Let's sign a new contract."
Standing on the stage was Zhang Xindao who had arrived early.
"Hey! Jiang Fu, the life and death agreement has been signed, there is no reason to regret it at the last minute. If you also want to go on stage, wait until I deal with this battle, and then we will have another one." The speaker was He Kuan, the vice president of the Monster Hunting Association and the cultivator who was preparing for this battle.
"President He, Zhang Xindao is just a chef at the Food Fragrance Pavilion. How can he be qualified to represent the Food Fragrance Pavilion? Everyone in Ziyunfang knows that I am the owner of the Food Fragrance Pavilion. I will take on this battle!"
Before Uncle Fu could finish, Zhang Xindao on the stage looked at He Kuan and said:
"Whether to fight or not, you're just hesitating."
"Haha, Jiang Fu, you see your cook is also a man of temperament. I would be doing him a disservice if I didn't fight him. Sorry!"
After He Kuan finished speaking, the long sword in his hand suddenly slashed towards Zhang Xindao like a stream of light.
"Wooden shield!"
Zhang Xindao threw one hand to the ground, and suddenly a two-meter-high green wooden shield grew out of the ground.
"when!"
There was only a muffled sound, and the long sword came back upside down.
But the moment He Kuan swung his long sword, he jumped up instantly and smashed the wooden shield with his fists as big as casseroles.
"Physical cultivation!"
Uncle Fu's eyes narrowed in the audience, and his heart tightened suddenly. Everyone knows how difficult it is to practice physical cultivation, but they are often invincible among the same level.
"Vine winding talisman!"
Zhang Xindao saw this and quickly took out a green talisman and threw it onto the wooden shield in front of him. Immediately, vines tightly wrapped around the wooden shield, instantly greatly increasing the shield's defensive power.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
He Kuan's heavy hammer strike arrived.
Zhang Xindao silently chanted the incantation. He pinched his hands together, firmly supporting the wooden shield that was shaking under the blows. At this moment, everyone in the audience could feel the ground moving with the opponent's blows.
"careful!"
Zhang Xindao, who was struggling to hold on, suddenly heard Uncle Fu's shrill cry from the audience. Before he could figure out what was going on, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Looking down, he saw a long knife piercing his chest, with the tip of the knife sticking out a lot.
"New way! New way!"
Zhang Xindao felt that Uncle Fu's shouts were getting farther and farther away. It was as if the whole world had suddenly collapsed.
"Xindao!" Uncle Fu rushed onto the stage, tightly hugging the fallen Zhang Xindao, shouting miserably.
He actually thought he had escaped just now.
"I deserve to die! Damn it!"
"I deserve to die!"
Uncle Fu, weeping uncontrollably, wiped away his tears. He carefully carried Zhang Xindao's body to the side of the platform and gently closed his open eyes.
"Walk slowly and wait for me!"
After saying this, he solemnly took out a thin, black, narrow-bladed short sword from his storage bag.
Looking at He Kuan who was sitting cross-legged on the stage, he said word by word:
"Sign a life and death contract!"
"Well, you are worthy of being the Jiang Fu that everyone in Ziyun Market praises. I will fight you this time!"
At this time, a familiar voice came from the audience.
