Chapter 754: Chapter 765 He is Here

The white light descended with a loud roar, which caused a huge crack to appear on the stage.

Shing! There was a clear sound of a sword being put into its sheath.

A man with shoulder-length hair had appeared on the stage out of nowhere, carrying a long katana on his waist.

The man who looked like a middle-aged man was also wearing samurai clothes.

At this moment, he was staring at Xiao Cangsheng with an emotionless expression on his face.

“So it's you, Gui Shiliu?!”

Xiao Cangsheng laughed; it was plain that he knew this Japanese ninja.

“Master Gui, save me!”

Meanwhile, Li Shaozong stared at Xiao Cangsheng as he retreated behind Gui Shiliu like he had found his life-saver.

“Hahaha, how interesting! Who would have expected the famous Upper Ninja of the Guihai Sect, Gui Shiliu to take refuge at the small Li Family? Am I understanding this correctly?”

Xiao Cangsheng’s eyelids twitched slightly but after that, he tilted his head backward and burst into laughter.

“Xiao Cangsheng, you are a distinguished cultivator. Why do you have to make things difficult for the young generation? If you’re looking for an opponent, you can fight me. As for Young Master Li, you are not going to lay a finger on him today—not in my presence!” answered Gui Shiliu respectfully with his poor Mandarin.

The two of them were obviously the experts among experts.

The conversation between the two of them had created a tense atmosphere, resulting in the silence of the whole crowd; they were all holding their breaths, waiting for the big match between the two experts that was about to begin.

However, the outcome left everyone dumbstruck.

“Hahaha, it’ll cause me a lot of trouble if I fight a ninja from the Guihai Sect and I, Xiao Cangsheng, am scared of nothing in this world, except for trouble. Gui Shiliu, you know I’m not afraid of you. I’m only worried that your Guihai Sect will cause me unnecessary trouble. So, I will give you some face today!”

Xiao Cangsheng waved his hand, gesturing that he would not make things difficult for Li Shaozong anymore.

Only then did Li Shaozong, who was on stage, breathe a sigh of relief.

“Why are you here? Are you helping the Li Family to seize this year’s right to rule?” asked Xiao Cangsheng.

“Yes, I am. If you have any intention of competing for it, I won't mind fighting you for it!”

Gui Shiliu was holding the warrior sword in his hand.

“Hmph, I’ll pass. I've suffered some serious injuries, so I don’t have the strength to fight you today! If I was in my prime, it’d be uncertain who’s the strong and weak one here. I can return Li Shaozong to you, but you're not intervening with these two girls right? I need to absorb the lifeblood and spiritual energy from these two girls to heal my injuries!”

Xiao Cangsheng pointed to Wan Xue and Shen Piaopiao.

“All I care about is the safety of Young Master Li!” replied Gui Shiliu casually.

“What? Master Gui, I beg of you to save those girls!”

After hearing Gui Shiliu’s remark, Wan Yaozong swiftly gave a bow, pleading with him for help.

Wan Xue and Shen Piaopiao also started to get more and more anxious.

However, Gui Shiliu did not even know who Wan Yaozong was.

“Li Feilong, please say the word to save my daughter. The Wan Family will be the first to agree that this year’s right to rule belongs to the Li Family!” added Wan Yaozong.

“This…”

Li Feilong had now gotten calmer after knowing that his son would be saved, but he put on a hesitation on his face when he heard Wan Yaozong’s request.

Meanwhile, Wan Xue’s friend, Xiuxiu and the rest of the people were worried to death below the stage.

Who would have expected an evil person like Xiao Cangsheng to appear?

It was obvious that the Wan Family and Li Family had no chances of defeating Xiao Cangsheng.

That Li Shaozong! I am really speechless. Ever since he went on stage, he has been shutting his eyes.

Anyone who doesn’t know him would have thought that he’s some remarkable expert, but every time he stumbles across people that are stronger than him, he would behave this way! thought Li Xiuxiu, who was at a loss for words.

“Chen Hao, isn’t Shen Piaopiao your friend? Why are you not worried for her?”

Li Xiuxiu was distraught when she looked over to her side and saw that Chen Hao was having a snooze with his eyes closed.

Damn it! Li Xiuxiu was on the verge of losing her mind.

After giving Chen Hao a shake, only then did he open his eyes.

The instant Chen Hao opened his eyes, Li Xiuxiu could clearly see two beams of light shooting out from Chen Hao’s eyes, which startled her.

“Huh?” After coming back to his senses, Chen Hao then turned his gaze to Li Xiuxiu.

The five disc-like objects in his body had emerged once again just now.

He had to compose himself before taking a closer look at those people on the stage.

Of course, Chen Hao still had everything that was happening at the scene under control; he was simply too immersed in the whole situation just now.

“What are you doing? Look, your friend is about to die!” Li Xiuxiu sounded exasperated.

“Nah, she won’t die. Also, she is not my friend. She is my disciple!”

Chen Hao could not help chuckling after looking at her concerned demeanor.

“What disciple? Are you dreaming?” Li Xiuxiu was getting irritated.

The few girls beside Li Xiuxiu also stared at Chen Hao with a confused look.

“Never mind about that. My disciple is in some trouble now. I’ll go over and settle the issue first. By the way, Miss Xiuxiu, thank you for your kindness!”

Chen Hao had been watching from the sidelines for quite a while; now that Piaopiao was in deep trouble and if he was still not going to do something about it, things would not look good if something happened to her.

Thus, Chen Hao swiftly got up from his seat.

“Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing, Chen Hao? Be careful, they will kill you!”

Li Xiuxiu quickly yanked at Chen Hao’s sleeve when she saw him standing up.

“I’ll be fine. Don’t worry!”

Chen Hao put on an indifferent smile before walking toward the front of the stage from the audience section.

Meanwhile, the moment Xiao Cangsheng, who was on the stage, was about to make his move by exerting his strength to grab Shen Piaopiao and Wan Xue, he heard a familiar voice saying, “Cultivator Xiao, how have you been?” The voice made his body tremble all over, as if he had been struck by lightning.

“Huh?”

Xiao Cangsheng turned his head abruptly to see Chen Hao who was slowly making his way to the stage.

“It's him!”

Watching Chen Hao slowly walk past him, Wan Yaozong was astounded.

Isn’t this the brat who kept pestering my daughter? He’s acquainted with Xiao Cangsheng? Wan Yaozong found the situation hard to believe.

Wan Xue also turned her head, feeling surprised.

“Chen Hao?” She was taken aback to see him.

Looking at Chen Hao, who seemed unconcerned as he walked up the stage with both hands tucked in his pockets, Li Xiuxiu and the few other girls were caught by surprise.

“It's you! What are you doing here?”

Xiao Cangsheng’s pupils narrowed and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva before taking a few steps back.

Gui Shiliu squinted his eyes as he took notice of the changes in Xiao Cangsheng’s behavior.

While fixing his gaze on Chen Hao, Gui Shiliu asked Xiao Cangsheng coldly, “Who is this, Xiao Cangsheng? Why are you so terrified of him? Is he the one who injured you?”

“Yes, it was him!” Xiao Cangsheng could barely talk properly.

“How interesting! This is my first time meeting such a young expert. Cangsheng, since he is as formidable as how you have described, and has even injured you, I, Gui Shiliu, don't mind helping you to kill him today! I believe with our forces combined, we can dominate at least half of the world of Cultivation, don’t you agree?” Gui Shiliu let out a sneer.

“No!” Xiao Cangsheng shook his head profusely.

“What do you mean? Are you so scared of him that you don’t dare to attack him?” Gui Shiliu was shocked.

“No, I’m not scared, nor am I afraid of attacking him. Gui Shiliu, don’t you know that, I, Xiao Cangsheng, dominate the world of Cultivation? The word ‘fear’ does not exist in my dictionary, so I am not afraid of attacking him. Even if I’m facing a formidable opponent, I will fight him as long as I have the strength to do so, even if that means losing my life! The reason that I absorb other cultivators’ vital energy or fight with another expert is solely to enhance my strength and improve my reputation. These are my end goals!” said Xiao Cangsheng in a shaky voice.

“What do you mean?” Gui Shiliu furrowed his brows.

“I have made my intentions clear. I do not wish to die in this manner. I do not want to die in such a meaningless way!”

Thud!

As soon as he finished talking, his knees went weak and he kneeled before Chen Hao. “Oh God, please spare my life!”
