“Motherf*cker! You think you can beat me in one strike? I’ve had enough of your bullshit!”

　　Hu Bawan shouted angrily. This was a serious provocation.

　　He was the faction leader of the great Wrath Wave Faction! A 70,000 combat power elite! And here was an inexperienced fledgling claiming that he could beat him in one strike!

　　This was not just a slap to the face, unlike putting Hu Bawan’s face on the ground and trampling on it!

　　That was completely unacceptable!

　　“This guy’s insane! He thinks he can beat our faction leader with one strike! He’s delusional!”

　　“Yeah! I think he’s saying that to provoke our faction leader so that he can sneak up from behind and attack him!”

　　“Don’t you think you’re giving that bastard too much credit? I bet that his combat power is only 50,000! Just enough for him to beat Elder Ba! Against our faction leader, he’s nothing!”

　　“That’s true! At his age, the best he could be is the pinnacle phase of True Nirvana cultivation. I don’t think he could even touch the threshold of Celestial Cultivation!”

　　The core members from Wrath Wave Faction ridiculed Chen Xiaobei, shooting him with disapproving glares.

　　Outside the banquet hall, Elder Jiu asked his bodyguards, “Could you tell what was Mr. Chen’s cultivation from just now?”

　　“No.” The bodyguards shook their heads.

　　They had looked down on Chen Xiaobei and thought that he would be dropping Elder Jiu’s name to get out of the situation, so they did not pay attention.

　　They had never expected Chen Xiaobei to destroy Elder Ba’s face with just one slap!

　　It all happened so quickly.

　　“What about now?” Elder Jiu asked. “Do you think that Mr. Chen could win?”

　　“It’ll be difficult.” The bodyguards agree with each other. “Hu Bawan is an experienced Jianghu elite! His cultivation is high and he is very experienced in combat! Even if Mr. Chen had 70,000 combat power, Hu Bawan could use his rich battle knowledge to beat Mr. Chen!”

　　Elder Jiu frowned. “If that’s the case, the both of you should get ready to rescue Mr. Chen!”

　　“Yes!”

　　The bodyguards nodded and prepared themselves to join the fight.

　　But what happened next had everyone flummoxed.

　　Zing!

　　As Hu Bawan made his way to Chen Xiaobei, there was a sudden explosion of a strong wind!

　　Master Er and Elder Jiu’s two bodyguards missed what was happening.

　　A black light flashed at blinding speed.

　　Phissh!

　　In that split second, Hu Bawan’s head tumbled to the ground, leaving his still erect, twitching headless body spurting blood like a sprinkler on a sunny day.

　　Chen Xiaobei remained where he was, the expression on his face unchanged as if nothing had happened.

　　But the dagger, as black as night which was in his hand confirmed that he was the one who had killed Hu Bawan!

　　The people trembled.

　　“What the f*ck was that?”

　　Beads of cold sweat began to form on Master Er’s forehead.

　　He thought that Chen Xiaobei would not be able to survive 10 strikes from Hu Bawan.

　　But in a microsecond, Hu Bawan was decapitated. He did not even have the chance to scream.

　　Strictly speaking, Chen Xaiobei had merely swung the knife. He did not even employ any fancy skills!

　　He had no need for any saber skills. His strength and speed alone were enough to defeat Hu Bawan!

　　Master Er was shaken to the core. Fear coursed through his veins, preventing his feet from moving another inch.

　　“My god! Our faction leader is dead! This must be a dream! It’s just a dream!”

　　Everyone from Wrath Wave Faction cried out.

　　Hu Bawan was the faction leader they had worshipped and adored. He was the strongest man in the whole of Wrath Wave Faction.

　　But they had just witnessed Hu Bawan’s head separate from its neck! He was as dead as a doornail!

　　If even Hu Bawan could not survive that one strike, the rest of them, even if combined together, were still doomed!

　　They looked at Chen Xiaobei like he was the grim reaper, gripped by fear as they held their breaths like a peep of chicks standing before an eagle.

　　“Now, do you see it?” Elder Jiu’s sangfroid eyes widened in surprise.

　　“110,000 combat power! At least 100,000!” The bodyguards gulped.

　　“I was right!” Elder Jiu was so excited his body trembled. “Mr. Chen really is of a transcendent existence! I must draw him to our side! Then our family, the Rothschilds could have access to unprecedented opportunities! This is great! This is just great!”

　　“Yeah!” The bodyguards nodded profusely. Their faces hot with embarrassment.

　　One second ago, they were both ready to rescue Chen Xiaobei. But the fact was that Chen Xiaobei’s strength was above and beyond theirs by aeons!

　　“So? Is anyone else disgruntled?” Chen Xiaobei allowed his gaze to wander over the crowd.

　　But no one, not even Master Er, dared make a sound.

　　Even Hu Bawan was dead!

　　They would just be digging their own graves if they spoke up!

　　“Are you still leaving?” Chen Xiaobei looked at Master Er through narrowed eyes.

　　“I…” Master Er shook his head. “No. I’m not going. If there’s anything you want, please tell me. I will do all I can to make it happen!”

　　“Oh, you changed your tone so quickly!”

　　Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow.

　　“Er, when you live under someone’s roof, you have to do as they say.”

　　Master Er was burning red, like he had just been slapped in the face.

　　Before Hu Bawan died, Master Er declared that on these waters, he did not need anyone’s permission to do anything.

　　What a load of bullshit!

　　Right now, he was as terrified as a puppy. How ironic!

　　But he had no choice.

　　With about 80,000 combat power, Master Er was a stronger than Hu Bawan.

　　So, in front of a lower-middle ranked ancient faction leader like Hu Bawan, he could act as ostentatiously as he wanted.

　　But in front of Chen Xaiobei, he could only be an obedient child!

　　“At least you know your place!” Chen Xiaobei said. “Hu Bawan was the mastermind of the incident in Tidal Faction and you are his accomplice! But because of your good behaviour, I will spare your life! You, however, won’t be able to get away with what you’ve done so easily!”
