"Don't worry, young mistress. Master Cheng's swordsmanship is every bit as good as Long Yuze's. Not to mention that he possesses much more experience. The outcome will be clearly soon enough."
"I certainly hope so!" It would be lying to say that Cheng Xiao Xiao was not worried at all, but she also knew that with the giant python there, her father will be safe no matter what.
BANG!
Just as little Yuteng had predicted, a silhouette flashed from the air and Cheng Biyuan landed on the ground.
On the other side, unexpected by everyone, Long Yuze, whom everyone thought of as the most powerful in the Long's, fell from the air like a broken kite. Long Yuze had to stumble a few steps backward before he could steady himself, but his face was beet red.
Even though he didn't spit out any blood but everyone could tell that Long Yuze has been injuried.
"Master Cheng was certainly as good as reputed. I concede!" It took Long Yuze a while to calm the his roiling blood before he could cupped his hands at Cheng Biyuan and spoke.
Cheng Biyuan's look gained a bit of heat and he nodded back at him. Then, turning toward Xue Xingchen, his meaning was clear. Long Yuze took this opportunity to take a medicinal pill and stood to one side.
Everybody knew that Cheng Biyuan wouldn't let Xue Xingchen off easily. How would they match up to each other?
Xue Xingchen understood innately that he didn't stand a chance against Cheng Biyuan. He saw Cheng Biyuan's skills clearly when he was fighting Long Yuze. He wouldn't say that he was worse than Long Yuze, but he wouldn't say he could for sure beat Cheng Biyuan either.
He believed that it wouldn't take long before the news that the Cheng's had beaten School of Divine Condor, the Long's, the Xue's, and the Xu's would spread all over Dafeng.
Under everyone's look, Xue Xingchen came in front of Cheng Biyan and with cupped hands said, "Master Cheng, I don't think I have a chance to win so I concede. We, too, will compensate you for your loss!"
"Oh!" Cheng Biyuan stared at him coldly.
Just then, Su Yiyang walked toward the two of them, with a bitter smile on his face, he said to Cheng Biyuan, "Master Cheng, I share the same opinion as Mr. Xue. I am willing to concede and compensate for your loss!"
"Naturally you will compensate us." said Cheng Xiao Xiao nonchalantly. With her cold eyes, her gaze swept over everyone, "Since you are willing to compensate us, we are willing to accept as well. As such, leave behind everything you've brought, we will take that as our compensation."
"That's impossible!"
"Everything?"
"That, that is ridiculous!"
Several people cried out. They don't just look upset, they were downright angry. This was more of an insult than being slapped in the face. How come someone who had always been looking down on everyone be subjected something that was almost the equivalent of being skinned?
Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn't surprised by their reaction at all. With a quick lift of her eyebrows, she said, "Oh, you don't agree? Then bring your best. Live or die, you can speak after you've won."
Her intention was clear. They want to bargain? They have to beat the Cheng's first. Otherwise, they better do as they were told.
Su Yiyang looked angry and he couldn't help but looked at Xue Xingchen next to him. Naturally Xue Xingchen looked equally angry. It was obvious it he was having a hard time accepting this as well.
The Cheng's couldn't care less how they felt. They let Cheng Xiao Xiao call the shots. They were happy to see her slapping everyone.
"I guess we must have a match with Master Cheng then!" Xue Xingchen wasn't exceptionally loud, but you could see he has a quick temperament.
Xue Yiyang remained silent except for a bizarre smile on his face. Almost simultaneously, both of his arms reached toward Cheng Biyuan's chest like two agile snakes.
Soon as he took his move, Xue Xingchen dealt out a blow with his open palm. The two attacked Cheng Biyuan with lightning speed, giving him no chance to react.
"What a dirty move!" Shouted Cheng Biyan, a swift move to his side and he dodged both attacks.
While dodging, Cheng Biyuan did not reach for his sword. Reaching out with both his palms open like to metal hooks, they smacked the two men solidly on their chest thunderously.
CRACKLE CRACKLE—
An unknown number of ribs were fractured. Two shouts and both of them spilt out a mouthful of blood. With their chest flattened, the flew backward like kites detached from their string and hit solidly against the wall.
The two weren't able to react at all. Definitely instakill!
The crowd was shocked all over again. Even two martial spiritualists were no match of Cheng Biyuan, not to mention the mythical beasts waiting nearby. The outcome was definitely a total wipe out. Almost everyone who came this time had sustained injury.
"Leave your properties and we will let you live, or else…."
The cold voice made everyone angry and ashamed. They came with the intention to take advantage of the Cheng's. Nobody had expected it to end this way.
Nobody uttered a word. Long Yuze gazed intensely at the fair-looking maiden, who possessed unmistaken grandeur, in front of him. After a while, he stopped his stare and started fishing out everything he had on him.
Even the most powerful had submitted. Nobody else dare to hesitate any further but to start fishing out everything that they have carried with them and placing them on the ground!
"Smart move!"
Cheng Xiao Xiao coldly glanced at all the odd-looking items on the ground and gently ordered, "Yuteng, throw everyone three feet outside of Willow Village, live or dead!"
"Yes, young mistress!"
As soon as the conversation ended and before anyone could react, vines appeared out of nowhere. Like lightnings in a dark sky, they wrapped around each and every single person and, before they could even make a noise, sent them flying though the air.
A hundred something people disappeared in no time.
With the exception of Cheng Biyuan, the Cheng's brothers was stunned wordless. They couldn't believe their eyes. They had no idea when their sister had became so powerful.
"Big sister, who is Yuteng?" asked Cheng Zheng Bin curiously with his big, round eyes.
Cheng Zheng Yuan was equally curious.
"Alright, you will find out some other time who Yuteng is. Now go and collect all our loots!"
Under Cheng Xiao Xiao's command, the two young ones happily ran over to collect all the items on the ground, letting out an occasional happy shriek. Needless to say there were a lot of treasures among them.
Cheng Biyuan wasn't as happy. Frowning, he seemed to be pondering about something.
"Dad, are you worried that they will come for revenge?" smile Cheng Xiao Xiao as she asked gently.
Cheng Biyuan was a bit surprised at her reaction. He couldn't help but to ask, "Xiao Xiao, are you not worried?"
