illicit relationship

Xu behaved normally even though Xiao Tian and his underlings outnumbered them because he was their teacher.

As their teacher, he could not show any weakness because it could be the beginning of their destruction.

"Leader, what are we waiting for? My daggers are thirsting for their blood now."

"Yes. My sword is also thirsting for their blood."

"My spear too."

"My tonfa too."

Xiao Tian's underlings could not wait to beat them because Xu and his disciples were annoying in their eyes.

"I will ask you one last time." Xiao Tian spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "Are you sure you want to protect them?"

Yongcheng and his ten senior brothers put on pleading faces because their lives would be over if their teacher did not protect them.

Xu looked at his disciples before returning his attention to Xiao Tian's underlings.

'We are at a disadvantage now.'

He began to think of a way to get out of the difficult situation.

'Wait!'

He suddenly had a good idea.

And his idea was to challenge Xiao Tian to fight against him!

Xiao Tian was their leader, so he was sure everything would be under his control if he could defeat Xiao Tian.

"Xiao Tian, how about we duel here? If you win against me, I will let you take them. However, I want you to leave my place if you lose. How is it? Do you dare to accept my challenge?" Xu was sure he could defeat Xiao Tian because he was a martial artist at the low-level grandmaster stage.

Sure, he was only an ordinary martial artist, but he believed Xiao Tian was only at the master stage because he was still young.

"Old man, I will fight you!" Mu Hou knew Xu's intention because it was a well-known tactic in a war.

"You are not their leader, so I don't want to fight you." Of course, Xu refused because he only wanted to fight against Xiao Tian. "You are not afraid, right?"

Xiao Tian's lips curled up into a smirk.

'What a fool!'

He had checked Xu's strength using the energy of heaven and earth.

Xu was not a candidate to be the Ruler, so he believed he could defeat Xu. Mu Hou even had a stronger aura than Xu.

"Old man, do you want to duel with me or spar with me?" Xiao Tian threw a question.

Xu did not get his words. "What's the difference? Isn't it the same?"

"Of course not! If you choose spar, I will only use the flat part of my sword/ricasso. At most, you will only get injured or faint. But…" Xiao Tian's eyes gleamed with terrifying sharpness as his body emitted a deadly aura. "I will kill you if you choose duel. So, do you want to spar with me or duel with me?"

[A/N: ricasso/false edge/ flat part of the sword is the dull edge of the sword. I spent twenty minutes looking for this, and I still don't know if it's right or not.]

"As expected of our leader, he is so cool!" one of the Blue Ice Lotus gang members praised him.

"Of course. After all, he is our leader." Another member of the Blue Ice Lotus gang added.

Xu was unhappy because Xiao Tian's words sounded like he was underestimating him.

Sure, Xiao Tian was the leader of the strongest gang, but that did not mean he was weaker than Xiao Tian.

'Damn it!'

He was unhappy when Xiao Tian put him in a difficult situation again.

His disciples would think he was afraid of Xiao Tian if he picked spar, but he suddenly had an uneasy feeling when he was about to choose a duel.

Xiao Tian was the leader of the strongest gang in Shanghai, so he could not underestimate him.

There was no way the leader of the strongest gang was an ordinary martial artist. He believed there was something special about Xiao Tian.

Luckily, some of his disciples answered Xiao Tian's question for him, so he did not lose face.

Xiao Tian's underlings and Xu's disciples instantly made a space for them. They also began shouting, cheering them.

At this moment, Yongcheng and his ten senior brothers folded their hands together, praying to God so that their teacher could defeat Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian unsheathed his black katana and focused on Xu.

*Inhale…exhale…

He wanted to finish the fight quickly, so he decided to use his secret technique and battle instinct.

He felt his body become stronger and lighter as the energy of heaven and earth entered his martial arts points.

Xu did not know what Xiao Tian was doing. He thought Xiao Tian was waiting for him to attack him.

'Then I will attack you now!'

With that idea in mind, Xu rushed toward Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian's eyes gleamed with a terrifying light after opening his eyes.

'Moon style sword of drawing techniques- fifth form: one hundred deadly slashes.'

He moved in a lunar spiral pattern before changing it into a triskele pattern and finishing it with a spirituality symbol.

His movements were faster, and his attacks were deadlier because he was in battle instinct mode.

*Slash…Slash…Slash…

Head, arms, chest, neck, and legs; every part of Xu's body was hit by Xiao Tian's deadly attacks.

Xu was unable to block or avoid Xiao Tian's attacks because his attacks were too fast for him.

'Impossible.'

He fell to the ground.

Even though he was still conscious, but he could not stand up anymore because Xiao Tian had also attacked his legs earlier.

Xu's disciples widened their eyes in disbelief.

'What?!'

They found it hard to believe what they were seeing.

Previously, they thought their teacher would defeat Xiao Tian, but they were wrong.

They were utterly wrong because it was their teacher who got defeated by Xiao Tian. He was even defeated in a short amount of time.

"As expected of our leader!"

"Our leader is amazing!"

"Our leader is the best martial artist in the world."

"Hey, look at your teacher! He is so pitiful! Haha."

"Old man, I have told you before. You should stay at home and play with your grandchildren."

"Old man, why are you lying on the ground? Do you like the ground so much? Haha."

"Haha."

One by one, Xiao Tian's underlings praised Xiao Tian and humiliated Xu.

Xu was the one who challenged their leader, but he was defeated in less than ten seconds.

It was funny!

It was too funny to the point they did not know how to humiliate Xu with the right words!

Xiao Tian instantly stopped using battle instinct after defeating Xu.

He only needed seven seconds to perform a secret move, and he could maintain his battle instinct mode for ten seconds, so he still had the stamina to act normally.

'You are lucky, old man!'

Xu would have died if he had used the sharp edge of his sword.

At this moment, Xu's disciples were still in a state of shock. Sure, they knew Xiao Tian was strong, but he was much stronger than they thought.

He even could defeat their teacher in less than ten seconds.

'Are my eyes playing tricks on me?'

They rubbed their eyes because they found it hard to believe what they were seeing.

However, what they saw was the same.

Xiao Tian had beaten up their teacher!

'How could something like this happen?"

That was the question that appeared in their minds.

Xiao Tian looked at them and inquired, "Do you still want to fight me?"
