53: Do you dare to fight me?

“How could Kong Wen appear here?”

“He wasn’t on the list of participants for this auction!”

“It’s probably because of Bai Pao and Zi Pao, right?”

“Hiss! Then there’s going to be some excitement to watch!”

Everyone couldn’t help but start discussing.

Kong Wen’s appearance at the auction surprised them.

After all, according to internal sources, Kong Wen had no intention of participating in this auction.

Otherwise, when the organizers arranged seats, they wouldn’t have so blatantly placed Chen Fang in the number one seat; instead, they would have found another way.

After all, the organizers couldn’t afford to offend either Chen Fang or Kong Wen.

But now, Kong Wen had actually appeared.

And as soon as he spoke, he made an issue of the number one seat.

Anyone with eyes could see that he was deliberately making things difficult for Shen Xi, and the reason, of course, was because of the killing of the Two People, Bai Pao.

Then tonight, it was destined to be anything but peaceful!

“Bai Pao and Zi Pao?”

Chen Fang asked, somewhat doubtfully; he didn’t know about the life-and-death battle yet.

“Not long ago, I just killed the Two People.”

Shen Xi said casually.

He didn’t deliberately lower his voice; their conversation clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Hiss!

Everyone couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

They vaguely sensed that the situation was a bit off.

The smell of gunpowder was a bit strong!

Originally, Chen Fang and Kong Wen were at odds with each other, and recently, the news of their struggle for the Cadre position had spread.

Now, Shen Xi was Chen Fang’s man, and he had even killed two of Kong Wen’s retainers, so this conflict was definitely escalating.

And Shen Xi dared to say this in public; wasn’t he clearly slapping Kong Wen’s Face?

This matter could not end well; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was an endless feud.

“What?!”

Even Chen Fang couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Shen Xi was too ruthless, wasn’t he?

He had just killed Hei Pao yesterday, and today he killed Zi Pao and Bai Pao.

Half of Kong Wen’s five retainers had been killed.

This guy was simply a harbinger of death.

One must know that even if Chen Fang wanted to weaken Kong Wen’s strength, he wouldn’t be able to kill so blatantly; this was to provoke a war.

“I encountered the Two People in the martial arts hall not long ago, and they insisted on a life-and-death battle with me, so I killed them.”

Shen Xi recounted the events in detail.

Hearing this, Chen Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they were killed, the circumstances were different.

A life-and-death battle was a mutually agreed-upon matter; if the Two People, Bai Pao, died, it could only be said that their skill was inferior, and Kong Wen couldn’t say much.

“Hahaha! As expected of Brother Shen, he always gives me unexpected surprises.”

Chen Fang completely relaxed, smiling so widely he couldn’t close his mouth.

As he smiled, he provocatively glanced at Kong Wen.

He now wished Kong Wen would pick a fight.

If his subordinate wanted a life-and-death battle with Shen Xi, and ended up dying due to inferior skill, and Kong Wen still wanted to pick a fight, then it would only be Kong Wen’s Face that was lost.

Even if the higher-ups knew, their impression of Kong Wen would significantly decrease.

“Who allowed you Two People to sit in the number one seat? As the Captain of the Judgment Squad, do I not have the right to sit in this seat?”

Kong Wen was an old fox after all; he also knew that he was in the wrong regarding the Two People, Bai Pao, so he could only find other excuses to make trouble.

This number one seat was the perfect reason.

Was there a problem with him, the dignified Captain of the Judgment Squad, wanting to sit in the number one seat?

“Kong Wen, stop flaunting your authority. You are a Captain, am I not? I also have the right to sit in this number one seat! However, I believe that my Brother Shen is even more qualified to sit here. Is there a problem with that?”

Chen Fang spoke indifferently, not giving an inch.

This was not just a matter of a seat, but also another manifestation of who was stronger and who was weaker between the Two People.

With so many people watching, whoever backed down would have their prestige damaged.

“Hmph! How dare a mere clown sit in the number one seat? It’s simply a huge joke.”

Kong Wen took the opportunity to direct his spearhead at Shen Xi.

In fact, the reason he appeared at the auction was precisely for Shen Xi.

“But it was I, this clown, who beat your right-hand men to death. So, does that mean you are even worse than a clown?”

Shen Xi didn’t indulge Kong Wen at all and retorted directly.

As his words fell, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Shen Xi with shocked expressions.

They knew Shen Xi was bold, but they didn’t expect him to be so bold.

The other party was the Captain of the Judgment Squad!

“You!”

Kong Wen was momentarily choked with anger, staring intently at Shen Xi.

He hadn’t expected the other party to be so aggressive; he had truly eaten the guts of a bear and a leopard.

“What about me? If you’re not convinced, come, let’s fight! In the world of Martial Artists, the strong are respected. If you want to sit in the number one seat, then defeat me. Since so many people are witnessing this, how about you and I also agree to a life-and-death battle?”

Shen Xi sneered endlessly, actively issuing a challenge.

This time, not only the onlookers, but even Chen Fang’s pupils constricted.

Shen Xi wanted to have a life-and-death battle with Kong Wen?

Had he gone mad?

Even though Shen Xi had killed the Two People, Bai Pao, Chen Fang still didn’t believe he could kill Kong Wen.

The Yuan Qi Transformation Realm and the Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi were not on the same level.

Moreover, Kong Wen was not someone Bai Pao and the others could compare to.

As an old rival, Chen Fang knew Kong Wen too well.

He had Cultivated two Acquired Martial Arts, both reaching the Perfection Realm, and his weapon was also of the Acquired grade, with even richer combat experience.

It could be said that Shen Xi had no chance of winning against Kong Wen.

“You want to fight me?”

Kong Wen was stunned for a moment.

Although he also felt that Shen Xi was not his opponent.

But he knew that Shen Xi was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

This guy had many trump cards.

What if he unexpectedly failed? Thinking of this, a hint of retreat appeared in Kong Wen’s mind.

This was where Kong Wen differed from Shen Xi.

Shen Xi was a lone wolf, so he had nothing to fear.

But Kong Wen was different; he was a Captain, and there were many things he needed to consider, such as the issue of Face.

If he won against Shen Xi, it was only natural, but if he lost to Shen Xi, that would be a huge embarrassment.

Even if he didn’t win easily enough, it would still damage his prestige.

After all, a Yuan Qi Transformation Realm facing an Minor Completion of Vital Energy, yet unable to win easily, would also cause him to lose Face.

At this moment, Kong Wen felt some regret.

He regretted his momentary fit of anger, coming to trouble Shen Xi, and instead putting himself in a dilemma.

“Why aren’t you speaking? Could it be that you’re afraid?”

Shen Xi continued to provoke, a look of disdain on his Face.

“Heh heh, how could I be afraid of you? It’s just that today is an auction, after all, and seeing blood is ultimately not good. Three days from now, I will fight you to the death. Do you dare?”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Kong Wen naturally couldn’t back down and proactively set the time for the life-and-death battle.
