Chapter 19

"Master Chen has a remarkable talent and is sure to defeat the Murong family's arrogance."

Someone said.

"Right now, I can't figure out what the old fox Murong is up to, but if the Murong family really has a young member who has advanced to the Qi Sea realm, Chen, do you have the confidence?"

Jiang Zhenhai looked at Jiang Chen with concern. Not only him, but others felt the same way. After all, although Jiang Chen could defeat Murong Hao, the gap between the Ninth Stage Qi Realm and the Qi Sea realm was not just a little.

Moreover, this duel was not just about Jiang Chen's safety, but also the Jiang family's alchemy shop, which could not be taken lightly.

"Father, don't worry. I won't do anything without confidence. As I said before, if Murong Zhan wants to play, we'll play along to the end."

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, exuding confidence. With his abilities, not only the early Qi Sea realm, but even the mid Qi Sea realm was not a concern for him. He wasn't afraid of the Murong family wanting to play; he was afraid they wouldn't dare to play, which would make it completely meaningless.

"Good, I'll respond to the challenge immediately and accept it."

Jiang Zhenhai's demeanor changed, and he was very confident in Jiang Chen. Since his son changed, he had always been confident in whatever he did. He had seen with his own eyes how Jiang Chen killed the Ninth Stage Qi Realm Jiang Rulong with one move, and yesterday, he had crippled the Murong family's top genius at the alchemy shop, far surpassing ordinary young people.

Moreover, the Murong family's challenge was something the Jiang family had to accept. If they didn't, it would be like admitting that the Jiang family was afraid of the Murong family. As Jiang Chen said, the Jiang family would not be able to hold their heads high after that.

As Jiang Chen had predicted, when the Murong family's challenge reached the Jiang family, it also spread throughout the streets and alleys of Tianxiang City. At this moment, in every corner of Tianxiang City, people were discussing the content of the challenge.

"This time, there will be a good show. The Murong family has issued a challenge to the Jiang family, and they will select the young geniuses to duel in the central square of Tianxiang City in three days."

"Yes, I heard that the alchemy shop is the stake. The Murong family is really going all out."

"Obviously, the Murong family's target is Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's sudden rise has made the Murong family feel deeply threatened. They want to take this opportunity to eliminate Jiang Chen and bring down the Jiang family. However, what I don't understand is, even Murong Hao is no match for Jiang Chen. Who among the Murong family's young generation can match Jiang Chen? Is Murong Zhan crazy?"

"Impossible, Murong Zhan is not crazy. There must be a conspiracy. Let's wait and see."

...

Many people were discussing what Murong Zhan was up to. Logically, the Murong family's young generation had no one who could match Jiang Chen, but Murong Zhan's challenge must have some hidden cards.

"Do you think the Jiang family will accept the challenge?"

"Definitely. With Master Chen's temperament, he will definitely accept the challenge. Moreover, they have no choice. Everyone knows about it now. If the Jiang family doesn't accept the challenge, they will be laughed at, and the Jiang family can't afford to lose face."

"The Jiang family has also issued a challenge, and Jiang Chen has accepted it. This will be a good show."

"I guessed they would accept the challenge, but I wonder who the Murong family will send to face Jiang Chen in three days. Is there anyone in the Murong family more powerful than Murong Hao?"

...

As a resident of Tianxiang City, everyone would naturally be concerned about the conflict between the two tigers. Everyone knew that the situation in Tianxiang City would eventually change, and one of the two tigers would be injured. This battle in three days would be the biggest turning point in the conflict between the two families.

Three days passed quickly. Today would be the most bustling day in Tianxiang City. In the center of Tianxiang City, there was a square called the Central Square, which was about a hundred meters in diameter.

At this moment, the Central Square was crowded with people, all eagerly awaiting the conflict.

The Murong family arrived early. Under the leadership of Murong Zhan, nearly twenty people from the Murong family appeared beside the battle platform in the center of the square.

Murong Zhan looked refreshed and seemed very confident about the duel. Beside him stood a handsome young man in white, who was Li Changhong.

Many people focused their attention on Li Changhong, finding him very unfamiliar, as they had never seen him before.

"Who is that young man? I've never seen him before, yet he has the right to stand beside Murong Zhan."

"Unknown, he's definitely not from the Murong family."

Someone commented.

"Hmph! Why hasn't the Jiang family arrived yet? Are they scared and dare not come?"

Murong Ying sneered. He had been slapped by Jiang Chen at the Jiang family's gate and had to carry Jiang Rulong's coffin back, which was a great humiliation. Murong Zhan was furious and almost crippled him. He had harbored this grudge and gritted his teeth every time he thought of Jiang Chen.

"Look, the Jiang family has arrived."

"That man in black is Master Chen. He was once the top playboy in Tianxiang City, but it turns out he was just pretending."

"Yes, look at his dragon-like eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, and his noble demeanor. He is clearly a talented person."

Recent events in Tianxiang City were all related to Master Chen, and Jiang Chen had become a prominent figure in Tianxiang City, drawing attention wherever he went.

The Jiang family stood opposite the Murong family.

"Jiang Zhenhai, who will represent your family in the duel?"

Murong Zhan sneered.

"Of course, it will be my son."

Jiang Zhenhai also sneered, while Jiang Chen's gaze fell on Li Changhong, seemingly understanding something.

As Jiang Chen looked at Li Changhong, Li Changhong was also sizing up Jiang Chen, his opponent for today, who had recently become a prominent figure in Tianxiang City.

"I wonder who the Murong family will send. I'm afraid there's no one left in the Murong family."

Jiang Zhenhai's tone was tinged with sarcasm.

Murong Zhan's face turned cold. The words "no one left in the Murong family" stabbed his heart like a knife, making him extremely uncomfortable and increasing his hatred for Jiang Chen to the extreme.

"Hmph! That's not your concern. The Murong family will naturally send someone."

Murong Zhan sneered. As he spoke, Li Changhong leaped onto the battle platform, exuding the aura of the Qi Sea realm. He looked at Jiang Chen and said disdainfully, "Jiang Chen, come up and die."

"Who is this person? He's not from the Murong family."

"The Murong family has invited a young expert who is already at the Qi Sea realm. No wonder they were so confident about the duel, but this seems to be against the rules."

The crowd began to murmur as the Murong family sent a stranger to the platform.

"Murong Zhan, he's not from your family, so he has no right to duel."

Jiang Zhenhai's face changed. He had thought that Murong Hao had a new genius who had advanced to the Qi Sea realm, which was why Murong Zhan made this decision. He didn't expect them to invite an outsider. This person was clearly at the early Qi Sea realm for some time, with a solid foundation, far surpassing someone who had just advanced to the Qi Sea realm, posing a significant threat to Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Zhenhai, read the challenge carefully. I only said that the Murong family and the Jiang family would each select a young genius to duel. I didn't say it had to be from my family. If you can find a Qi Sea realm genius, I have no objections."

Murong Zhan sneered.

"Shameless."

"Too shameless, this is unfair."

The Jiang family was furious. Murong Zhan was too cunning, using this trick.

"I accept the challenge."

Jiang Chen spoke, his lips curling slightly, his expression indifferent, making it hard to read his thoughts.

"Chen."

"Father, there's no need to say more. I accept the challenge. We can't let the Jiang family be looked down upon."

Jiang Chen smiled. Others didn't know Li Changhong's identity, but he did. He finally understood the situation, and the only thing he regretted was not killing Li Changhong when he had the chance.

Li Changhong wanted to kill him to control the Jiang family's alchemy shop and then control the alchemy masters, aiming to destroy the Jiang family. His intentions were extremely malicious.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. For any enemy who wanted to harm him and his family, regardless of their identity, he would show no mercy. Even if the person was a noble from Chicheng, offending him would lead to only one outcome.

Jiang Chen leaped onto the battle platform, standing opposite Li Changhong.

"I need to clarify that today's duel is a life-or-death battle. Once on the platform, the outcome must be decided. Moreover, the losing side must unconditionally hand over the alchemy shop to the winning side, as clearly stated in the challenge."

Murong Zhan stroked his beard and said loudly, his face full of satisfaction, as if everything was under his control. In fact, Murong Zhan was indeed confident. Others didn't know Li Changhong's abilities, but he did. As the young master of the Li family from Chicheng, Li Changhong must have many hidden cards, and eliminating a small figure like Jiang Chen would be easy.

"Murong Zhan, you are too shameless."

Jiang Zhenhai's face was grim, worried about Jiang Chen's safety, but he couldn't refute Murong Zhan's words, as they were clearly stated in the challenge. Since they had accepted the challenge, they had to follow the rules.

"Murong Zhan is indeed cunning. He has set a trap for the Jiang family."

"Yes, it's not very fair, but seeing Jiang Chen's calm face, he might be confident."

"It's hard to say. The opponent is a Qi Sea realm expert, far beyond ordinary Qi Realm practitioners."

...

Many people sighed, believing that everything was planned by Murong Zhan, putting the Jiang family in a difficult position.

"Master Murong is right. Since we are on the platform, it must be a life-or-death battle. Life and death are in the hands of fate, and I believe someone is ready to face death."

Jiang Chen said sarcastically.

"Haha, you are too arrogant, young man. I will kill you like squashing an ant."

Li Changhong laughed, not taking Jiang Chen seriously at all.

"Your arrogant face is truly disgusting."

Jiang Chen sneered, having no good feelings towards Li Changhong.
