Chapter 53: Battle with Li Hexuan

"Ha ha! It seems you can slack off and embezzle from now on." Xu Feng laughed heartily.

"Xu Feng! You're corrupting others again. Humph! If he dares to slack off and embezzle, I'll come after you." As Xu Feng and Jiang Yuan were chatting, Xiao Yilin's sweet and charming voice rang out. Xu Feng looked over and saw Xiao Yilin in a green dress, with smooth and tender skin, a slender figure, and slightly protruding breasts, her figure already graceful and well-proportioned. Her skin was tender and smooth, almost like porcelain. Her clear and beautiful face had a charm that most young girls lacked. Every time Xu Feng saw Xiao Yilin, he was always drawn to her clear, long, and alluring eyes, finding it hard to imagine why a young girl could naturally possess a charm that even a mature woman couldn't.

Jiang Yuan was somewhat intimidated by Xiao Yilin. Seeing her appear, he quickly bowed to her and left in a somewhat flustered manner.

"Hmph! Am I that scary?" Xiao Yilin was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yuan's reaction. She huffed and looked at Xu Feng, her eyes twinkling, making Xu Feng's heart flutter.

"Maybe it's because Miss Second is too beautiful." Xu Feng blurted out.

"Why would I be scary if I'm beautiful? I should be liked instead." Xiao Yilin looked at Xu Feng strangely.

Xu Feng felt embarrassed, thinking how he could come up with such a lame excuse, but he could only continue to bluff: "Miss Second is too beautiful. What if he falls in love with you? A servant who seduces a young lady will be thrown into a pig cage."

Xiao Yilin nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly looked at Xu Feng and said, "Then are you afraid of being thrown into a pig cage?"

"Ah!" Xu Feng hadn't expected such a question and laughed at Xiao Yilin, "I'm not afraid! It's just a matter of whether Miss Second will give me the chance."

"Rascal!" Xiao Yilin understood the meaning behind Xu Feng's words, gave him a glare, and her tender and smooth face flushed with a beautiful red, looking incredibly alluring!

"I won't give you, this rascal servant, any chance." Seeing Xu Feng's disheartened look, Xiao Yilin giggled, "If you dare to have designs on me, I'll tell Uncle Second, and he'll throw you into a pig cage."

"Is Miss Second being too harsh? Can we negotiate?" Xu Feng asked seriously.

"How can we negotiate?" Xiao Yilin looked at Xu Feng in confusion.

"For example, if I occasionally have designs on you, you can occasionally throw me into a pig cage. If I have designs on you for a quarter of an hour, you can throw me in for half a quarter of an hour." Xu Feng said offhandedly.

Xiao Yilin stared at Xu Feng with wide eyes after hearing his words, unable to believe he could come up with such a shameless idea. "Half a quarter of an hour? Do you think it's like swimming or bathing? It doesn't work that way."

"No way!" Xiao Yilin glared at Xu Feng, then counted on her fingers, "At least ten quarters of an hour!"

Xu Feng looked up to the sky, thinking that women could indeed be ruthless when they wanted to.

"Ah!" Just as Xu Feng and Xiao Yilin were bantering, Xiao Yilin suddenly exclaimed, "Xu Feng! I forgot! That rascal Li Hexuan actually set up a challenge and specifically named you to duel him. Humph, how shameless!"

"Li Hexuan set up a challenge?!" Xu Feng frowned slightly, not expecting Li Hexuan to make such a move at this moment.

Xu Feng thought for a moment and said to Xiao Yilin, "Let's go take a look."

Hearing Xu Feng's words, Xiao Yilin nodded vigorously. She now had great faith in Xu Feng.

The reason Li Hexuan set up the challenge was that he was shocked by the news of Xu Feng severely injuring Ling Yong. The servant he once looked down upon had now become a threat to him. The more Li Hexuan thought about it, the more he couldn't bear to let it go. He decided to destroy this servant before he surpassed him.

At least, he still had the confidence to suppress Xu Feng. Although he might get injured like Ling Yong, the dazed Xu Feng after using that move would surely be defeated by him. Moreover, Li Hexuan didn't believe that Xu Feng could fully recover so quickly after being dazed yesterday.

Strike while the iron is hot! Li Hexuan also understood the essence of this saying. Therefore, despite the dissatisfaction of Xiao Lin and others, he set up the challenge to Xu Feng, determined to destroy him. Could he really let Li Wei lose the bet and call Xu Feng "Grandpa"?

"Xu Feng has arrived!" When Xu Feng and Xiao Yilin reached the challenge site, a group of servants who had been surrounding the area shouted excitedly. Clearly, Xu Feng was now a legend in their eyes, not just for severely injuring Ling Yong, but more importantly, for forcing Li Hexuan to set up a challenge to a servant, disregarding his status.

Xu Feng wanted to look cool and wave a paper fan, but after searching his body for a long time, he couldn't find one. This made him resolve to buy one, as he was now a servant idol and needed to maintain his perfect image.

"Xu Feng! You've really come." Li Hexuan looked at Xu Feng, still maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor, the paper fan in his hand showing his grace, making Xu Feng somewhat want to snatch it.

"If you set up such a grand challenge, I would be remiss if I didn't come." Xu Feng smiled at Li Hexuan and suddenly said, "Can you lend me your paper fan?"

Li Hexuan was taken aback, not understanding what this servant wanted. He huffed, put away the paper fan, and casually threw it to Li Wei, saying, "A mere servant doesn't deserve my paper fan."

"Damn! It's just a broken paper fan! When I have money in the future, I'll buy two, use one, and throw one away, making you envious to death." Xu Feng was indignant, thinking this guy was too condescending!

Xiao Lin, hearing Xu Feng's words, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, thinking that this servant, if he became wealthy, would definitely be a nouveau riche. However, despite his disdain, Xiao Lin didn't want to see the most promising servant of the Xiao family be destroyed by Li Hexuan. He said, "Xu Feng! Don't be too proud. In the Xiao family, if you don't want to accept his challenge, he can't do anything."

Xu Feng smiled at Xiao Lin but ignored his words, stepping towards the challenge platform.

Xiao Lin was greatly alarmed by this scene. Although Xu Feng had severely injured Ling Yong, he had fainted, and in terms of strength, he was far from Li Hexuan. Li Hexuan was no less than Ling Yong!

"I originally planned to deal with you later. But since you can't hold your ground, let's do it today." Xu Feng looked at Li Hexuan and smiled, "You're an Eighth Rank, and I'm a Seventh Rank. I wonder if you can defeat me!"

"Rest assured! I will definitely defeat you!" Li Hexuan narrowed his eyes, occasionally revealing a hint of darkness.

Xu Feng looked at Li Hexuan, feeling a bit emotional. This person had once been a huge stone pressing down on him, impossible to move. But now, he had the strength to challenge him. Indeed, life was unpredictable. Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if he could reach Eighth Rank in the future, the pressure from Li Hexuan would be even less. At the moment, facing him still carried great risk, as he was still far from Li Hexuan in strength.

"It seems I need to reach Eighth Rank as soon as possible! Whether it's to absorb the black lightning or to surpass Li Hexuan, it's all necessary." Xu Feng muttered to himself.

"Since you're so confident, let's go!" Xu Feng looked at Li Hexuan and said, knowing that if he fled today, Li Hexuan would definitely come after him for a duel. So Xu Feng didn't want to avoid Li Hexuan.

Li Hexuan looked at the calm and composed servant in front of him, despising Xu Feng's lowly status. But he had to admit that this servant's temperament and character were not those of a common servant. Li Hexuan thought that if he were a noble, he would be a shining star. Unfortunately, he was still a lowly servant!

Li Hexuan huffed, his eyes filled with viciousness, and punched towards Xu Feng. The punch carried a fierce momentum, creating a few whistling sounds as it moved through the air, making the surrounding servants hold their breath and stare at Xu Feng.

Xiao Lin also held his breath, knowing that a Seventh Rank Xuan practitioner was still far from an Eighth Rank. He didn't have high hopes for Xu Feng's battle with Li Hexuan.

"I'll take your punch." Xu Feng laughed and punched back with full force, wanting to see if the strength of an Eighth Rank was really beyond his match.

"Boom..."

The two punches collided without any flair. Xu Feng staggered back, his arm trembling. To the surprise of the surrounding servants, Li Hexuan also stepped back to dissipate the force.

Li Hexuan shook his slightly numb arm, his eyes filled with surprise. Xu Feng's strength, though still far from his, was not what a normal Seventh Rank could possess.

"What a strange servant! But, you must die!" Li Hexuan revealed a killing intent, his fists moving in cunning angles, then fiercely punched towards Xu Feng's throat.

Xu Feng sidestepped, avoiding Li Hexuan's punch. Just as he was about to counter-punch, he noticed Li Hexuan's left leg kicking towards his stomach, making him stop and quickly retreat several steps to avoid the kick.

"Nice reaction speed!" Li Hexuan narrowed his eyes and praised.

"Thank you for the compliment. But you haven't seen much yet!" Xu Feng sneered, his eyesight, enhanced by the Dao Xuan Jing, far surpassing that of a practitioner of the same rank. Li Hexuan's attacks, though fierce, couldn't threaten him.

"I hope your hands and feet are as sharp as your tongue." Li Hexuan's right hand turned into a palm and swept towards Xu Feng, while his feet launched a series of attacks, blocking all of Xu Feng's escape routes.

"Do you think this will work?" Xu Feng looked at Li Hexuan with disdain. In Xiao Lin's shocked eyes, Xu Feng moved freely, easily avoiding Li Hexuan's attacks. This terrifying reaction speed was something Xiao Lin couldn't achieve. He thought that perhaps reaching Ninth Rank or even higher would be necessary to match Xu Feng's reaction speed.

"Xu Feng! Well done!" Xiao Yilin, who had been worried about Xu Feng, now cheered excitedly, her waving arms making her youthful and vibrant body even more alluring, leaving the surrounding servants with dry mouths.

After throwing over a dozen punches, all of which were avoided by Xu Feng, Li Hexuan became frustrated. His attacks became even more fierce.

"Can you keep dodging forever?" Li Hexuan huffed.

"Who said I would keep dodging?" Xu Feng laughed, his fist suddenly changing direction and meeting Li Hexuan's punch head-on.

"Damn!" Seeing Xu Feng's punch, Li Hexuan was so angry that he forgot his gentlemanly demeanor. It was understandable, as Xu Feng had avoided all his previous powerful punches. But just as he was about to reduce the force of his punch, Xu Feng struck. This bastard was too despicable!

Li Hexuan was forced to retreat several steps by Xu Feng's full-force punch, his arm tingling. He glared at Xu Feng and huffed, "Despicable!"

"In front of you, how could I deserve such a title? Such a noble word has always been your exclusive right, hasn't it?" Xu Feng chuckled, feeling very satisfied at making Li Hexuan suffer a small loss.

Of course, Xiao Yilin outside was also excited, her beautiful face flushed. The stronger her servant, the more excited she became.

"Looking for death!" Li Hexuan, unable to bear Xu Feng's taunts, unleashed his Xuan techniques, using both his legs and hands to attack Xu Feng.

Seeing Li Hexuan go berserk, his attacks accompanied by whistling sounds, Xu Feng's expression became serious. Li Hexuan was undoubtedly a formidable opponent, despite his pretentiousness, he had a solid foundation in Xuan techniques.

At least, each punch he threw made Xu Feng feel the immense power behind it.

Such power was not something Xu Feng could easily withstand. He continuously dodged, avoiding Li Hexuan's attacks.

However, with the use of Xuan techniques, Li Hexuan's strength and speed increased significantly. This made it much harder for Xu Feng to dodge.

The onlookers watched as Li Hexuan's relentless punches surrounded Xu Feng, holding their breath. Such a powerful barrage of punches was terrifying to them. They all watched Xu Feng with bated breath.

Xu Feng, being a Seventh Rank Xuan practitioner, still had a gap compared to Li Hexuan. Additionally, in terms of Xuan technique cultivation, he was definitely not as strong as the noble Li Hexuan. This made the possibility of Xu Feng's defeat even greater.
