Chapter 82: Ten Years' Covenant
When Xiao Chen woke up, the sun was already above his head and it was noon.
"It's still too hard. I guess I have to rest for three days before I can fully recover. The essence and blood are consumed too much." Xiao Chen got up, rubbed his temples, and walked towards the gate of Xiao Mansion.
The two guards in front of the gate immediately ran towards Xiao Chen when they saw Xiao Chen's appearance and said happily: "Second Young Master, you are finally back. The head of the family has been looking for you for a morning. You can go to the hall quickly."
Xiao Chen was shocked and looked for himself for a whole morning. There must be something important. After thanking him, he quickly walked towards the hall.
At this time, the people in the hall had dispersed, and only Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong were left. Xiao Chen rushed over and said immediately: "Sorry, I'm late."
Xiao Xiong looked at Xiao Chen, with a little puzzled look in his eyes: "Why are you so bad? What did you do last night? I heard that you were in Yulan's room and came out very late."
Xiao Qiang next to him was also looking at him with a surprised look, obviously asking him to give an answer. His current appearance is so much like his expression after doing something, coupled with Xiao Chen's previous reputation, so it is inevitable that people will not remind them of each other.
Xiao Chen was ashamed and hurriedly explained: "Great Elder, don't misunderstand it. After chatting with Yulan last night, I went out. My face was so bad because I had a problem with my practice."
"Forget it, don't talk about this. I'm asking you to come today. I mainly want to discuss the ten-year battle with Literature." Xiao Xiong saw that Xiao Chen was going to explain and interrupted him.
Looking at the expression of the elder, Xiao Chen wanted to tell him carefully about what happened yesterday, but since Xiao Xiong had spoken, he didn't dare to continue talking.
Xiao Xiong continued: "You should know the rules of the ten-year agreement. Now the candidates cannot be changed. Xiao Jian and Xiao Yulan cannot play, you can only rely on you alone. If there is pressure, I won't force you."
"I'm not saying anything. If a Qijiao Mountain is lost, it can be taken back in the future. I hope you will think clearly before answering. After all, you are my biological son." Xiao Xiong's words were sincere and there was no hypocrisy.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "I won't give up, I have to fight for it no matter what."
He had his own decision in his heart. No matter what the result of the ten-year agreement was, he would leave the Xiao family. If he did nothing and left the Xiao family like this, he would feel uneasy for the rest of his life.
Xiao Xiong looked at Xiao Chen deeply and said slowly: "Come with me, elder, come together, the Xiao family's accumulation over hundreds of years is also time to use it."
Xiao Qiang felt a stern in his heart. He knew where Xiao Xiong was going, and his expression became solemn.
Xiao Chen followed the two of them and turned a long way away. There was a secret exit behind many obstacles.
Xiao Chen even came to some places many times but never saw them. It turned out to be a different world behind him. In the end, the two people in front stopped in front of the door of a basement.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong each took out a key, then put it together, opened the basement door, and Xiao Chen followed him in.
In the basement, there is actually a treasure collection room. The Xiao family has collected all kinds of collections from Qijiao Mountain for hundreds of years, all of which are here, including soul soldiers, secret treasures, armor, elixirs, and martial arts.
Xiao Chen was secretly surprised. He never thought that there was such a large treasure room underground in the Xiao family. Those soul soldiers were all from the Xuan level, the highest ones were from the Xuan level, many of them were from the Xuan level, and many of them were from the Xuan level, as well as many fourth- and fifth-grade elixirs.
But Xiao Chen has a moon shadow knife that can become a heavenly soldier, a wood carving that can be compared with high-level secret treasures, and the martial arts inheritance of the Thunder Emperor. For the rest of the Xiao family, each piece of the thing here will make people ecstatic, but Xiao Chen is not very interested.
Xiao Xiong picked up a piece of armor and said, "You should have no other things, martial arts and soul soldiers. This Xuan-level armor is made of soft skin on the abdomen of the Demon King Beast. If necessary, it can save your life."
Xiao Chen took the armor and looked at it. The armor was very thin, only a little thicker than ordinary clothes, and it did not affect the movement when worn on it.
It was a good thing, Xiao Chen said with some joy in his heart. This kind of defensive armor is difficult to buy on the market, and it is also something Xiao Chen needs very much.
"Okay, you probably won't like other things." Xiao Xiong looked at Xiao Chen and paused and said, "I'll choose a few of them and treat them as your compensation."
Xiao Chen was not willing to refuse, so he took a few things, put the armor directly on his body, and then left here.
Six days passed in a blink of an eye, and the ten-year armed struggle conference finally officially began.
For the past six days, Xiao Chen has been studying the Thunder Sword Technique. Most of his current martial arts have been learned by using the Change of Words from the Source of the Dou Sheng, and it is difficult to understand the essence of it.
Only this Thunder Sword Technique has a complete handwritten copy, of course, you have to learn it in the last time, especially the last three-step Thunder Slash, which is already close to the Earth-level martial arts.
As soon as it dawned, Xiao Chen got up quickly. The members of the Xiao family had gathered at the door. After Xiao Xiong saw Xiao Chen coming, he immediately took everyone out to the Warrior Square.
The annual martial arts competition in Mohe City began three days ago, but everyone knows that the real highlight of this martial arts competition lies in the ten-year agreement, the battle between the three major families in Mohe City.
There are crowds of people above the square, and people from the three major families walked in one after another. On the high platform of the square, there was a loft specially built for the three major families, which could overlook the entire Warrior Square.
"The people from the Xiao family are here. Didn't they say that two of their competitors are injured and cannot participate in the competition? Why dare you come?"
"Look at how their faces looked like they were all black. It seems that the news of their injuries was true, but are you going to try your luck?"
"What do you know? Xiao Chen is not injured, and the Xiao family still has hope."
"Xiao Chen, no matter how powerful he is, he can't resist the wheel battle. I think the Xiao family will lose."
Various kinds of discussions in the crowd came into the ears of the Xiao family, making their originally ugly faces even more ugly.
"Brother Xiao, long time no see, you finally came out of seclusion!" As everyone was about to climb to the attic, the heads of the Zhang and Tang families came over.
Xiao Xiong smiled faintly and said, "Yes, long time no see. The cooperation between the Tang Tian and the Zhang family and the Leng family was as expected by me. I really didn't expect you to jump out."
Tang Tian sneered: "Qianjiao Mountain cannot be occupied by an alien family."
The head of the Zhang family said, "Xiao Xiong, we are not here to chat with you. I want to discuss something with you. I don't know if you will consider it."
"You Xiao family and our two families have better resentment than to resolve the grudges together today. As long as Xiao Chen can beat Tang Feng and Zhang He today, the remaining four of us will not come out. You Xiao family will win directly."
Xiao Xiong thought in his mind that the head of the Zhang family meant that he only sent two candidates to fight with Xiao Chen, but the condition was that the two battles must be completed together today.
This is very obvious. I just want to use wheel battles to drag Xiao Chen down and not give him a chance to rest, but he can fight four less games.
After hearing this suggestion, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, but he couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't have many martial arts skills. If there were too many battles, it would be easy for his opponent to see the truth. This suggestion was exactly what Xiao Chen said.
Seeing Xiao Chen nodding to himself secretly, Xiao Xiong said, "What a joke. Do you think I will agree? I will hurt my Xiao family contestants. Now let's take this condition again. Do I think I, Xiao Xiong, is a fool?"
Tang Tian smiled and said, "Xiao Xiong, do you think you have any choice? This is the best suggestion for you. You will reduce the number of six battles and two games. I don't think you need to refuse."
The head of the Zhang family said, "Brother Xiao, I have sent someone to call the city lord, please think about it."
A moment later, Dugu Feng came here and saw Xiao Xiong, and hurriedly said, "Congratulations to Brother Xiao for coming out of seclusion. Is this a matter of this?"
Before Xiao Xiong could answer, Tang Tian told Dugu Feng about his suggestions. After listening, Dugu Feng pondered: "The competition regulations cannot be changed. If Xiao Xiong really has two contestants who cannot participate, why not accept this suggestion?"
Finally, under Dugu Feng's suggestion, Xiao Xiong accepted the opinion "reluctantly" and Xiao Chen was really worried about it. Xiao Xiong's acting skills were too realistic, and he almost cheated him.
On the Warrior Square and on the highest and largest arena, Dugu Feng stood on the top and said to the crowd below: "Today is the last day of the martial arts meeting. I believe everyone is here for the ten-year military battle meeting. Now I will announce something."
"Because the two contestants of the Xiao family were injured and could not participate in this fight, the three families decided to temporarily change the rules after discussing. Xiao Chen, as long as he can defeat Zhang He, Tang Feng and the Xiao family can win this fight. On the contrary, if he loses one match, he will lose the ownership of Qijiao Mountain."
"The two contestants of the Xiao family really can't participate in the competition. I didn't expect this news to be true." Someone immediately said in surprise.
"Haha, this regulation seems to be beneficial to the Xiao family. In fact, it is to defeat Xiao Chen with a wheel battle. It seems that the Zhang Tang and the other two have indeed joined forces."
"Yes, I heard that the Xiao family was attacked by unknown masters some time ago. I suspect it was the two families who did it."
"You have no idea what kind of IQ you have, and you don't have to think about it. It's definitely the two companies that did it."
Countless quarrels and discussions poured into Xiao Chen's ears. He felt calm and slowly walked through the crowd toward the ring. The shadow of the sculpture of Emperor Tianwu behind the ring was cast on the ring, adding a solemnity and solemnity to the ring.
In today's battle, I will definitely win and will not become a stepping stone for others. After ten thousand years, I, Xiao Chen, will definitely stand like the Emperor of Tianwu, and Xiao Chen murmured in his heart.
With a firm gaze, when she was about to approach the ring, Xiao Chen lightly pointed his toes and steadily jumped onto the ring. In a corner of the ring, Zhang He's eyes were cold and he had been waiting for a long time.
