47: Battle White Robe

Seeing the Two People’s attire, Shen Xi confirmed their identities.

As everyone knew, no one knew the real names of Kong Wen’s five major retainers; they could only be referred to by the clothes they usually wore.

The one wearing White Robe was naturally White Robe, and the one wearing Purple Robe was naturally Purple Robe.

“My name is Shen Xi. Do you dare to fight me to the death?”

Shen Xi directly stated his identity and purpose.

As soon as he said this, the entire venue immediately erupted, and everyone’s emotions were far more excited than when Chu He violently beat the middle-aged man.

Shen Xi actually wanted to fight a life-and-death battle!

And his opponents were two of Kong Wen’s five major retainers.

This was clearly slapping Kong Wen’s Face in broad daylight!

If Shen Xi lost, he would naturally die.

But if he won, Kong Wen’s strength would be damaged, his Face would be lost, and he would definitely not let him off!

What’s more, it was currently a sensitive period during which Kong Wen and Chen Fang were competing for the Cadre position.

All these circumstances indicated that this life-and-death battle was not simple.

It was very likely another form of rivalry between Kong Wen and Chen Fang.

Thinking of this, everyone’s gazes all fell on White Robe and the Two People.

Would the opponent accept the challenge?

If he didn’t, Kong Wen would also lose Face.

As expected.

White Robe looked at Shen Xi with a sinister gaze: “So it’s you. You didn’t take the road to Heaven, but you came to Hell when there was no gate. Since you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep, I might as well send you on your way.”

White Robe naturally knew Shen Xi’s identity.

He also knew that Hei Pao (Black Robe) had very likely died at the opponent’s hands. (Kong Wen didn’t know whether Hei Pao (Black Robe) was killed by Shen Xi or by Chen Fang’s men.)

The relationship between the two had long been irreconcilable.

Now that Shen Xi had just appeared and dared to provoke him, White Robe naturally wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.

What’s more, he couldn’t refuse; otherwise, others would think he was afraid of Shen Xi, which would damage Kong Wen’s Face.

“Very good!” Shen Xi nodded in satisfaction.

He naturally knew that in broad daylight, White Robe couldn’t refuse him; this was a conspiracy.

Then, he looked at Purple Robe: “What about you? Do you dare to fight me to the death?”

Purple Robe curled his lips in disdain: “Talk about that after you survive White Robe’s hands!”

Shen Xi nodded again: “That makes sense!”

Saying that, he walked onto the Martial Arts stage and then beckoned to White Robe with his finger.

At the same time, the wealthy and powerful people present became excited.

“The battle between Shen Xi and White Robe is very likely a microcosm of the conflict between Kong Wen and Chen Fang. Tonight, there will be a good show to watch.”

“I thought I would only see battles between slaves, but I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise.”

“Place your bets, place your bets. Who will win or lose between Shen Xi and White Robe?”

“I’m betting on White Robe. He’s one of Kong Wen’s five major retainers, a master of the Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi Realm.”

“That’s right, Shen Xi is just a young punk after all. I’ve never heard of him. It’s almost impossible for him to win against White Robe.”

“Even if Shen Xi started Cultivating in the womb, he would at most be at the Initial Stage of Yuanqi now. How could he be White Robe’s opponent?”

Almost no one was optimistic about Shen Xi.

A person’s name, a tree’s shadow; White Robe had long been famous in Zhu Feng City, but Shen Xi was just an unknown young Acquired martial artist.

Only Xiao Mei and Chu He’s eyes were filled with trust.

Chu He naturally felt that Shen Xi was extraordinary, and besides, the other party had just saved him. He believed that Shen Xi was not the kind of fool who didn’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth.

As for Xiao Mei, it was because before Shen Xi came to the fourth floor, he had secretly slipped her a diamond coin, telling her to remember to bet on him.

Xiao Mei hadn't understood what that meant at first, but now she finally realized that Shen Xi had guessed from the beginning that once he declared war on White Robe and the Two People, a huge betting market would emerge.

This was confidence to the point where he not only wanted to kill White Robe and the Two People, but also to make a huge profit from it… First-floor lobby.

Several guests who had just entered the hotel had not yet had time to understand the auction situation when they heard many waiters discussing.

“Have you heard? A life-and-death battle has appeared on the fourth floor. A young punk named Shen Xi is going to challenge Kong Wen’s White Robe.”

“Oh my goodness, is this guy tired of living?”

“This is a good opportunity to make money. Betting on Kong Wen will definitely win.”

Upon hearing this, several guests immediately rushed to the fourth floor without stopping… At the same time.

The second and third floors were similar situations.

After hearing about the situation on the fourth floor, those guests all put down what they were doing and went to join in the fun.

In a short while.

Almost all the guests gathered on the fourth floor… On the Martial Arts stage.

White Robe looked at the increasing number of guests gathering and greatly enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

He beckoned to Shen Xi with his finger, mocking: “Youngster, you are merely at the Minor Completion of Vital Energy Realm, yet you dare to challenge me. Don’t you know that on the Martial Dao, every step is a chasm, and even a small Realm difference is like heaven and earth?”

“Today, I will kill you here under everyone’s gaze. Don’t you dare beg for mercy then.”

Shen Xi frowned: “If you want to fight, just come directly. Why so much nonsense? Do you usually kill enemies with your mouth?”

Hearing this, White Robe was enraged and humiliated: “You damn guy, I graciously let you live a few more seconds, yet you still dare to boast shamelessly. Next year today will be your death anniversary!”

After speaking, White Robe took the initiative to attack, tapping his single foot on the ground, using the force to rush in front of Shen Xi.

He swung his fists, unleashing a thunderous offensive, and bursts of sonic booms followed. His fists smashed towards Shen Xi’s head like a violent storm.

“Benlei Eight Styles!”

Shen Xi met force with force, also throwing punches.

Their fists collided again and again, making clanging sounds like hammering iron.

In just a few breaths, Shen Xi and White Robe had exchanged more than a dozen punches.

White Robe was secretly alarmed. Shen Xi’s punches were powerful and heavy, subtly carrying electric sparks, which caused a tingling numbness in his fists.

However, when he saw Shen Xi’s expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the opponent was trying to endure, his expression was still vaguely twitching uncontrollably. Clearly, Shen Xi was not faring well against his attacks either, and the pressure he was bearing was only greater than his own.

Realizing this, White Robe attacked with even more vigor. His fists suddenly turned golden, and he roared: “Vajra Fist!”

This was the Acquired Martial Arts that White Robe Cultivated—Vajra Fist.

When Cultivated to the extreme, the fists would become as indestructible as if made of diamond.

Relying on this Martial Arts, White Robe was an outstanding figure even among the five major retainers. Dealing with a Shen Xi was naturally a piece of cake.

Boom!

The next second.

The fist landed, and the person flew!
