Chen Xiaoyun and Chen Qiushui were defeated miserably, which shocked the entire audience, but this did not mean that this duel was over.
Because there is another Chen Daoyuan!
On the arena.
The battle came to an abrupt end and there was a brief confrontation phase.
Chen Xi stood there covered in blood. It was almost impossible to find an inch of intact skin on his body. In some places, white bones could even be seen.
These injuries were all suffered when attacking Chen Xiaoyun and Chen Qiushui just now. They are not serious, but they are not light either. For ordinary cultivators, they are already considered serious injuries, and they will definitely have a negative impact on the subsequent battle.
□▽,♀.△⌒.∽ influence.
But to Chen Xi, it was as if he was completely unaware, his pair of Ruoyuan's black eyes filled with calmness, indifference, and a chilling air.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a statue made of blood and fire, which has a shocking power.
…
On the other side, Chen Daoyuan looked calm, and there was no trace of emotion on his handsome and peaceful face. He turned around and came to the other side of the ring, carefully picked up the unconscious Chen Qiushui, and then moved him out of the ring.
Chen Xi knew that the other party was worried that the next battle would affect Chen Qiushui, so he did not stop it, let alone take advantage of others' danger.
In other words, Chen Xi could be considered as reciprocating love.
Even though this duel was destined to be unfair from the beginning, Chen Daoyuan and the other three were still able to maintain their grace and did not attack all at once, which Chen Xi did not expect.
He knew very well that if the three of them had been dispatched together from the beginning of the war, it would be really difficult for him to turn things around this time.
Of course, this is just Chen Xi's point of view. He doesn't care whether the other party does this out of blind self-confidence or disdains to join forces to deal with him.
None of this is important. What is important is that Chen Xi thinks this is important to him, and this is enough.
Unfair rules are bound to bring about unfairness, but Chen Xi never intends to let himself become as despicable and shameless as Chen Lingkong.
This is also the reason why there was a brief pause in this duel.
…
"start."
After seeing Chen Daoyuan finish everything, Chen Xi spoke calmly.
"Thank you."
Chen Daoyuan took a deep breath and said seriously.
"We owe each other nothing."
Chen Xi said casually.
This made Chen Daoyuan startled, but he soon understood and sighed, "If I had known that your fighting power was so amazing, the three of us would have taken action together from the beginning of the battle, so you don't have to thank me for anything."
Chen Xi said: "But after all, I was given some buffer time. You should also know that if you all attacked together from the beginning, I am afraid that I would not be able to stand in the ring."
This sentence made Chen Daoyuan's expression suddenly become a little complicated, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Yes, if he hadn't been so arrogant at that time, how could the battle situation have developed to this point?
When Chen Lingkong in the distance heard these conversations, his face became increasingly livid and gloomy, and there was an uncontrollable evil fire in his heart.
If I had followed my own arrangements, why would this have happened?
These idiots!
At this moment, Chen Lingkong could hardly help but scold Chen Daoyuan and the others.
Buzz~
Next, Chen Xi didn't talk nonsense. He chanted the sword in his palm and pointed it at Chen Daoyuan in the distance. Murderous intent surged through his body like a tide.
But to everyone's surprise, Chen Daoyuan didn't make any move at this moment, but stood there in silence.
This made everyone in the audience confused and a little at a loss. What happened to Chen Daoyuan?
"Dogen, the battle is not over yet!"
Seeing this, Chen Lingkong was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. He reminded him coldly. How could he have thought that at such a critical moment, Chen Daoyuan would not make any movement at all?
It’s a big no-no to lose focus at this time!
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xi couldn't help but frown, and the sword in his palm chanted louder and louder.
"I surrender."
Chen Daoyuan suddenly sighed, put away the wooden sword in his hand, turned around and walked out of the ring.
Just three words, shocking!
The whole audience was in an uproar. They almost couldn't believe their ears and gave in. The battle hadn't even reached the end yet. Why did Chen Daoyuan give in?
He is the majestic Nine-Star Territory Lord, and the first among the Chen Clan Territory Lord Realm experts. How could he admit defeat at this moment?
How can you admit defeat to an outsider?
Then Chen Xi is now covered in blood and scarred. Faced with such an excellent opportunity, why should Chen Daoyuan admit defeat?
For a moment, the hearts of everyone present were agitated and countless doubts arose, which could not be calmed down for a long time.
Even Chen Xi couldn't help but feel surprised.
Chen Lingkong was stunned in the audience, his expression changing, and finally he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Bastard! This duel is nothing but child's play, you, you, you... are simply ridiculous and unforgivable!"
The sound was like thunder, shaking the heaven and earth, and filled with overwhelming pressure.
Under the ring, Chen Daoyuan stood silently, but his expression was calm, and he said calmly: "Sir, please calm down, I am willing to be punished."
Hearing this, Chen Lingkong's veins burst out on his forehead, and his eyes were about to burst, and he said: "Asshole! If you insist on doing this, are you going to completely lose the face and dignity of our Chen family? Are you doing this to be worthy of our ancestors?"
He was a Dao Master Realm being, but at this moment he was so furious that everyone in the Chen clan trembled and became silent.
Chen Daoyuan chose silence this time and stood there alone. No one knew what he was thinking in his mind at this moment.
"This guy is quite good. He is strong-willed and powerful. His future achievements are destined to be above that of Chen Lingkong."
Wu Xuechan was thoughtful.
"It's really rare. At least he has won my appreciation."
Tang Xian nodded.
At this time, Chen Lingkong's face was extremely cold and livid. His aura spread all over his body, disturbing the world, and he seemed to be about to go berserk.
Chen Daoyuan's surrender was absolutely intolerable to him.
Not only because Chen Xi will rely on this victory to win the title of heir to the Chen family in one fell swoop, but more importantly, it will allow Chen Lingjun and his wife to get out of trouble completely!
Once something like this happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Tell me a reason. If you can't convince me, you must go to the ring and fight to the end. Otherwise...I will put you in prison in front of all the clan members here, and you will never be able to reappear in the world for the rest of your life!"
Chen Lingkong opened his mouth, word by word, and his voice was like thunder, which stirred up the heavens and the earth, causing the expressions of all the Chen clan members in the room to change.
The Supreme Elder was completely angry!
Everyone is aware of this.
But Chen Daoyuan still had no reaction. After a long silence, he said: "I am not as good as Chen Xi. If I win based on unfair rules, my Taoist heart will not be able to forgive myself."
"But why didn't you tell me this before the duel?"
Chen Ling was so angry that his hair and beard were bulging, and his eyes were filled with cold light, "This reason is so childish and ridiculous. If you don't return to the ring to fight, don't blame me for being rude!"
boom!
Along with the sound, the momentum around him soared into the sky, spreading to the whole place, making everything tremble, and it was terrifying to the extreme.
Everyone looked at Chen Daoyuan, waiting for him to make a decision.
At this moment, the atmosphere was surprisingly solemn and dead.
But Chen Daoyuan remained so calm, like a stubborn stone that never wavered. He opened his lips lightly and said in a tone without any emotion: "I am willing to be punished!"
Buzz~
Chen Lingkong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely furious and his eyes turned red. He did not expect that Chen Daoyuan would be so disrespectful to him.
"It seems that you are really planning to go against the will of the entire clan..."
He gritted his teeth and made a cold sound from his lips.
At this moment, even Chen Xi in the ring felt some unexplainable complex feelings in his heart. Is this Chen Daoyuan really going to fight to the end?
"Then... accept the punishment!"
Along with the extremely cold voice, Chen Lingkong released a terrifying power that shocked the universe and controlled objects.
He was about to take action and completely imprison Chen Daoyuan, making him the sinner of the entire Chen family!
The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
At this urgent moment, suddenly, a vast and hoarse sigh sounded.
"Lingkong, do you want to destroy the clan's future hopes?"
A few words made Chen Lingkong freeze up, his pupils shrank, his expression changed, and he seemed to be stunned.
This sudden change also shocked the whole place and everyone.
"This old guy Chen Taichong finally couldn't bear it anymore."
Wu Xuechan seemed to be secretly relieved. He had heard that the hoarse voice was none other than Chen Taichong, one of the living stone-level antiques from the Chen family!
There is an old monster who has been in the Chen clan for who knows how many years. Rumor has it that he was one of the first innate gods to emerge from the chaos of the Three Realms when it opened up. His cultivation is unfathomable.
"If he doesn't come forward, this situation will be irremediable."
Tang Xian said calmly.
…
"What this little guy Daoyuan did was not wrong. If you lose, you will lose. Could it be that after our Chen family has stood in the lineage of the God-protecting Clan for endless years, we can no longer afford to lose?"
Chen Taichong's voice has become a little cold, with a hint of sternness.
This caused Chen Lingkong's expression to change again, and he fell into silence, his expression extremely stiff.
"The release of Chen Lingjun and his wife and the reunion of their family...we, the Chen family, originally made a mistake. In this case, we cannot continue to make mistakes again and again."
I don't know when, but a chaotic golden light suddenly appeared on the horizon, gradually becoming brighter, outlining an illusory and majestic brilliant figure.
As soon as his figure appeared, an indescribable aura filled the world, causing all Chen clan members in the room to tremble in their hearts and become as silent as cicadas.
Obviously, that figure is Chen Taichong!
He walked up and down from the void, with chaotic energy overflowing from his body, and a golden glow that made it impossible to see his face clearly.
But at this moment, even Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian's expressions became solemn and serious, and they had to pay attention to Chen Taichong's arrival.
Because this is a powerful person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the three founders of Shenyan Mountain!
Before Chen Lingjun's reincarnation, without the support of Chen Taichong, it would be difficult for him to lead the entire Chen family to conquer such a large territory.
