Chapter 76

Seeing Mr. Fan get angry, A San hurriedly stepped forward: "Mr. Fan, the child doesn't know any better, don't take it to heart."

"It's just this once." Mr. Fan's imposing presence came and went quickly.

Xu Shaocong had already been intimidated by Mr. Fan's earlier display and didn't dare to say another word.

"Xu Shaocong, do you really want my life?" Xia Tian looked at Xu Shaocong and smiled slightly.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Shaocong was no longer as arrogant as before.

"Then how about we bet our lives?" Xia Tian looked at Xu Shaocong and said calmly, as if the life he was talking about wasn't his own.

"Are you even worthy to bet your life with me? My life is far more precious than yours." Xu Shaocong looked at Xia Tian with disdain.

"What are you, to be compared with my son?" Xu Qinghua's attitude was even more arrogant. If this weren't Green Forest Manor, he would have had A San take action long ago.

"I'm asking if you dare to bet your lives?" Xia Tian looked at the Xu family father and son with a cold tone.

"Ha, what do you have to bet with me? To bet, you need to have the capital. Why should I bet with you when the stakes are unequal?" Xu Qinghua looked at Xia Tian with contempt.

Xiao Fei, seeing his master being treated with such contempt, his wild nature immediately surfaced, and he walked directly towards Xu Qinghua.

"Xiao Fei, come back." Xia Tian frowned.

"But, Master..." Xiao Fei turned to look at Xia Tian.

"I told you to come back." Xia Tian said calmly, and Xiao Fei nodded, walking back behind Xia Tian.

"You should be grateful that you didn't do something foolish just now, otherwise you would already be a cripple." A San looked at Xiao Fei coldly.

"You can try." Xiao Fei's coldness came from deep within.

A San's coldness lay in his ruthless actions, which gave people an inexplicable pressure. However, Xiao Fei's coldness was no less, revealing a wild and icy nature.

Seeing that Xiao Fei wasn't intimidated, A San coldly snorted and turned away.

He was a renowned expert in Jianghai City. This competition was no challenge for him. If he couldn't even handle a child, he wouldn't be A San.

"Xu Dechuan, you've lived all these years in vain, entrusting your life to such a young and inexperienced boy." Xu Qinghua looked at the old man Xu with disdain: "The reason you're still alive isn't because of divine protection, but out of my mercy."

"I believe in Xia Tian." Xu Dechuan didn't say much more.

"Ha ha, believe in him? A young and inexperienced boy, it's really laughable. If it weren't for the protection of the Flowing Sand, I would have taken his life long ago." Xu Qinghua laughed coldly. It was precisely because of the Flowing Sand that he hadn't moved against Xia Tian, which was also the reason he came here.

As long as Green Forest Manor was in charge, even if he killed Xia Tian, the Flowing Sand wouldn't do anything to him.

"Flowing Sand?" Mr. Fan frowned when he heard this term.

"Mr. Fan, this boy has the backing of the Flowing Sand and doesn't take your Green Forest Manor seriously at all." A San knew that Mr. Fan disliked the Flowing Sand, so he deliberately mentioned Xia Tian's connection to the Flowing Sand.

"Are you a member of the Flowing Sand?" Mr. Fan looked at Xia Tian.

"No." Xia Tian said calmly, showing no emotion on his face.

"Do you have any connection with the Flowing Sand?" Mr. Fan asked again.

"No." Xia Tian said.

"Since that's the case, the competition can proceed. As for the final stakes of the competition, you can decide now, and I will ensure that the decision is upheld." Mr. Fan's words were simple, but everyone present understood the immense responsibility he was taking on.

If he didn't have the capability, he wouldn't have said such a thing.

"You want to bet your life, right? I'll bet with you." A San looked at Xia Tian coldly.

Since Mr. Fan had said he would uphold the stakes, even if he killed Xia Tian, the Flowing Sand wouldn't retaliate.

Although Xia Tian had said he had no connection with the Flowing Sand, A San absolutely didn't believe it. He had seen with his own eyes that the Flowing Sand had come to Xia Tian's aid that day.

"Alright." Xia Tian smiled slightly. Although the Xu family's business was large, they had also made many enemies over the years. The reason those enemies didn't dare to act against the Xu family was because of A San. If A San fell, the Xu family wouldn't last long, and only then would the old Xu truly be safe.

"Uncle San, don't just kill him, torture him properly." Xu Shaocong shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely help you get revenge." A San said confidently.

"Uncle San, be careful." Xu Qinghua reminded him, though he had confidence in A San, he still cared enough to give a reminder.

"Don't worry, sir." A San nodded.

He was the crippled A San, who had defeated countless experts with his crippled legs. He had never taken Xia Tian seriously.

The reason he hadn't moved against Xia Tian before was because of the Flowing Sand.

Now that Mr. Fan had said he would uphold the stakes, A San had nothing to fear.

"It's starting." As soon as A San finished speaking, he appeared in front of Xia Tian and kicked directly at his head, his foot moving at incredible speed.

A San's attack was purely instinctual, and he had honed his leg techniques to perfection.

Xia Tian showed no panic, grabbing A San's leg with his right hand, stopping the powerful kick. Then, with his left hand, he pushed A San away, throwing him.

"That's the old man's Tai Chi, interesting." Mr. Fan was slightly taken aback by Xia Tian's move.

Although A San was surprised by being thrown, he didn't become careless. He kicked his right foot from the spot, aiming directly at Xia Tian's back.

Just as A San's kick was about to land, Xia Tian suddenly rushed forward, dodging the kick.

This method, though somewhat awkward, was perfectly timed to make A San's kick miss.

"Hmm, you're at the early Yellow Level." A San was slightly surprised by Xia Tian's skills, not expecting him to be a high-level expert at such a young age.

"You're not bad either." Xia Tian used the Heavenly Awakening Technique to display his strength at the early Yellow Level.

"To have such strength at such a young age, it seems I can't let you live." A San's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness. He couldn't allow Xia Tian to continue growing, or he would become a major threat in the future.

"Then we'll see if you have the ability." Xia Tian didn't retreat but advanced, extending his right hand with two fingers, aiming at A San's body.

His movements were fluid and smooth.
