"This question... you can ask her yourself and see if she is willing to tell you?" Xiao Chen looked at the old woman calmly.
"Ruiyuan, tell me!" When the patriarch turned to the old woman, his tone became stern and cold.
"I……"
The old woman's expression changed.
She really didn't expect that Xiao Chen actually knew the clan leader. The clan leader seemed to value Xiao Chen very much and expressed his intention to stand up for Xiao Chen.
At this time, there is no point in continuing to quibble.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward to apologize to Xiao Chen: "Young Master, I didn't know that you were an old friend of the clan leader. I have offended you many times before, so I still hope that you will be able to forgive me!"
This change was unexpected by everyone.
You thought it was going to be a life and death fight, but the old woman actually gave in?
But it makes sense when you think about it.
This incident showed that the old woman was wrong, and Xiao Chen was familiar with the clan leader. If he continued to pull the strings, the old woman would definitely not be able to escape.
Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to admit your mistake.
In this way, even if Xiao Chen wants to be held accountable, he can't go too far.
But contrary to everyone's expectations, Xiao Chen was indifferent when he heard the old woman's apology. Instead, he sarcastically said: "I know the clan leader, and you came to apologize to me. So if I don't know the clan leader, do I deserve it?"
Upon hearing this, the patriarch reprimanded: "Ruiyuan, don't be so nagging, tell me what exactly you did?"
The old woman didn't dare to say anything, so she could only ignore it and kept staring at Xiao Chen and said: "What do you want, your Excellency, you might as well say it freely!"
"I've said it before!" Xiao Chen said lightly, "I want your life!"
The old woman was startled and suddenly sneered: "Now, you still want to kill me?"
The clan leader frowned at this moment.
He realized that this matter was the old woman's fault, and was already planning to give the old woman a certain punishment.
But if Xiao Chen wants to kill the old woman, it is not something he can do easily.
Today's Ji people are already experiencing a decline in talents. Losing another holy elder will undoubtedly make things worse.
"Little friend, do you really want to be so extreme?" The clan leader tried to plead, "If she is really at fault, our Ji clan is willing to provide some compensation!"
"Xiao Chen, forget it!"
Pei Anqi is also persuading.
The patriarch of the Holy Clan has begged for mercy, and it would be inappropriate if he didn't let go.
After all, we are still on someone else's territory. If they are pressed hard and they swarm us, the consequences will be disastrous.
"I feel uneasy if this kind of person doesn't die!" Xiao Chen patted Pei Anqi's hand to reassure her, then turned to the clan leader and said, "Actually, I only met you once, and it's not really a friendship. So here we are.
In principle, I don’t want to give you face. I will definitely kill this old witch today!”
"Little friend, you..."
The clan leader felt helpless and embarrassed.
Xiao Chen's temper was so stubborn that it really put him in a dilemma.
The people around him were also in admiration for Xiao Chen's head.
What an honor it is to be able to establish a relationship with the leader of the Holy Clan?
It's good for him, he actually took the initiative to cut off the relationship, saying that he was not familiar with the family, and he insisted on killing the saint of the saint clan?
"Haha... Your Excellency, you are really kind!" The old woman was so happy at this moment, she looked at Xiao Chen with a smile on her face, "Your Excellency wants to kill me, but you can't just kill me with your hands, right?"
"I didn't say you can't resist!" Xiao Chen said.
"Okay!" the old woman said suddenly, "In that case, how about we fight alone? If you have the ability, kill me openly and honestly, and I believe no one will say anything!"
"Ruiyuan, what did you say?" the patriarch said angrily.
"I think this proposal is a good one!" Xiao Chen interrupted.
"Little friend, no!" the patriarch wanted to persuade.
But Xiao Chen waved his hand: "A fair fight, the loser will die, and the grudges will be cleared from now on!"
"Oh, then you can take care of yourself!" The clan leader knew it was inevitable and no longer wasted his words. He waved his hand and shouted to the people around him, "Everyone, get out!"
Ruiyuan and Xiao Chen had exchanged palms before, tearing apart several disciples of the saint clan.
Now the two of them are fighting to the death, is that okay?
"retreat!"
Everyone retreated, leaving the battlefield to Xiao Chen and the old woman.
"Xiao Chen, be careful!" Pei Anqi could only warn her at this time, and then retreated.
"Master Spirit Sacrifice, please take action and build a barrier!"
The clan leader bowed in the direction of the dojo.
In the entire holy clan, the only ones worthy of his worship are the extremely mysterious sacrificial spirits.
The sacrificial spirit did not respond, and perhaps could not make a sound.
But everyone could clearly see that a huge blue water barrier opened up, covering Xiao Chen and the old woman.
"Young man, now we can fight to our heart's content. I hope I can make your life worthwhile!"
The old woman just wanted to laugh happily and be as proud as she wanted.
Xiao Chen actually agreed to fight her alone. Did he really think he could defeat her?
"Fight as much as you want, you are not qualified yet. But I have refined a new weapon, and it is perfect for you to try it on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen jumped up and stretched his right hand into the void.
Suddenly, a ball of light floated out and condensed in his hand.
Click!
The light shattered, and the fragments reassembled, gradually condensing into a new form.
"That's... a bow?" someone exclaimed.
It was obvious that a huge bow had formed in Xiao Chen's hand, which was two meters long. The arms of the bow were blue and very exquisite.
But the only fly in the ointment is that this bow only has arms and no strings. It seems that it has just been made and is not complete.
The old woman was also frightened by Xiao Chen's momentum at first, but after seeing it clearly, she sneered: "You want to kill me with a bow without a string?"
"It's so unreasonable. How can you kill someone with only a bow arm?" The man with ten rays of holy light shook his head.
The old woman's strength is not inferior to him. Xiao Chen is just a junior no matter how you say it. The battle of life and death is such a trivial matter. It's really hard to shed tears without seeing the coffin.
"Patriarch, what do you see in him?" The man couldn't help but ask the patriarch, "I only met him once, does he deserve such attention from you?"
"Oh, you don't understand!" the clan leader sighed, "remember the holy elixir I brought back last time?"
"Of course I remember!"
"That holy elixir was not refined by me, but by Xiao Chen!"
"What?" The man was shocked, and the surrounding Saint Clan's senior officials also had expressions of disbelief.
That Xiao Chen is an alchemy saint?
No wonder the clan leader pays so much attention to it.
If you can win over an Alchemy Sage, there is hope for the revival of the Ji people, which is much better than making friends with the Leiyin Pavilion of the Qiankun Sect of the Xueyue Sect.
But now, Xiao Chen has decided to fight to the death with Saint Ruiyuan.
No matter who wins or loses in this battle, it will be a huge loss for the Ji people.
…
In the sky, facing the old woman's ridicule and everyone's disapproval, Xiao Chen remained indifferent.
"Who said you can't use a bow without a string?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen's divine power was concentrated on the bow arm.
In an instant, an invisible string made entirely of energy appeared. (To be continued)
