39. This is truly outrageous!
Chu Xuan originally thought that the martial arts in this world were like the martial arts movies he watched in his previous life, at most capable of flying over rooftops and cracking rocks with their fists.
It was only at this moment that he realized that his understanding of this world was probably not even the tip of the iceberg.
"stop!"
"Gentlemen, if you keep fighting, you'll destroy the entire south of the city..."
Two authoritative voices rang out.
As the sound came, two figures quickly rushed towards the south of the city.
In just a few breaths, they were already in front of everyone.
One of them was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes with a dignified face.
The other person was an elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in martial arts training clothes!
"Brother Lu, Brother Cao, how about we give you some face and stop here?" the dignified middle-aged man said.
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lu Tong and Cao Zhengxiong, who were engaged in battle, instantly retreated and landed on the eaves of the houses on both sides of the street, facing each other.
Lu Tong stood there, his aura calm and collected, as if he hadn't made a move at all.
On the other side, Cao Zhengxiong was somewhat out of breath, his breathing was slightly rapid, and his eyes were glaring angrily at Lu Tong.
The white-haired old man also spoke up, "Both of you are top figures in Green Mountain City, why ruin your harmony over such a trivial matter?"
Lu Tong coldly said, "Stop, but pay one thousand taels in compensation!"
"Those who were killed were members of my White Ape Martial Arts School!" Cao Zhengxiong shouted angrily.
"Two thousand taels!"
"Lu Tong, don't go too far!"
"Three thousand taels!"
"This is outrageous!"
Whoosh!
Lu Tong suddenly sprang up, his body seemingly merging into the phantom of a fierce tiger, charging towards Cao Zhengxiong.
Cao Zhengxiong's expression changed drastically, and the white ape phantom behind him also appeared.
"Roar~!"
A tiger's roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
With a single claw strike, it shattered the white ape phantom.
Cao Zhengxiong's body flew backward like a cannonball, piercing through countless house walls like a string of candied hawthorns amidst loud bangs.
Lu Tong stood where Cao Zhengxiong had been standing and spoke coldly:
"This is truly outrageous!"
Bang!
After a loud bang, Cao Zhengxiong leaped out of an abandoned house, covered in dust, his hair in a messy bun, the dusty hair flying in the wind.
This time, he didn't fly into a rage, but looked at Lu Tong in disbelief: "You...you broke through?"
The two who arrived also stared at Lu Tong in disbelief.
Not yet!
Lu Tong said coldly, "That's enough to deal with you!"
Remember, it's three thousand taels!
"If you're short even a penny, you 'Long-Armed White Ape' can be renamed 'One-Armed White Ape'!"
"Alright, you two!"
The elegantly dressed middle-aged man who spoke first seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and once again acted as a peacemaker, saying, "Brother Cao, you were in the wrong in this matter! Since it's a life-or-death duel, let fate decide who lives and who dies! Yet you bullied the weak and attacked Brother Lu's son first. Compensating him three thousand taels is not excessive!"
The white-haired old man nodded: "That's right! Rules are rules! If no one follows them, you can kill my disciple today, and I can kill your disciple tomorrow! What's the point of rules then?"
"snort!"
Cao Zhengxiong's face turned ugly, and he let out a cold snort.
In the end, he took out three silver notes from his pocket and threw them at Lu Tong before turning around and disappearing from the rooftop.
"Goodbye!"
The two bowed to Lu Tong and then quickly disappeared.
Lu Tong tossed a silver note to Wei Hong and then turned and disappeared from the rooftop.
What was originally a duel between Ming Jin martial artists ended with a battle between two Hua Jin masters, and was only resolved with the intervention of two Hua Jin martial artists.
This result was truly unexpected.
Seeing their master leave, the White Ape Martial Arts School staff also carried Meng Qing's body and silently departed.
On the other side, at the Lu Family Martial Arts School, cheers erupted.
Everyone was shocked by the domineering and powerful attitude that Lu Tong displayed today!
Both being martial artists at the Transformation Realm, they actually managed to overpower the master of the White Ape Martial Arts School.
"Fellow disciples, let's go to Jin Yu Lou to celebrate Junior Brother Chu's resounding victory today! It's on me!" Dongfang Lin shouted, raising his arm. "All expenses today are on Young Master Chu's tab!"
"Hahaha……"
Surrounded by the crowd, Chu Xuan walked towards the Golden Jade Pavilion in the inner city amidst loud laughter!
……
White House.
When Bai Kexin returned dejected, Bai Dongxu was discussing this batch of sponsored teenagers with Bai Dongchu.
Seeing Bai Kexin looking as if she had lost her soul, Bai Dongxu frowned slightly and said, "Xin'er, what's wrong? Were you frightened by the bloodshed in the arena? I told you not to go!"
Bai Kexin remained silent, her face still deathly pale.
Bai Dongchu sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Did something happen? Did Chu Xuan win?"
"How is that possible?!"
Bai Dongxu chuckled, "I know Meng Qing! Although he stayed at the Ming Jin level for three years, he has a second-grade physique and has now achieved the Great Perfection of Ming Jin. He has a chance to break through to An Jin! As for Chu Xuan... hehe..."
"father!"
Bai Kexin suddenly looked up, interrupting Bai Dongxu, "Chu Xuan won! He even killed Meng Qing on the spot!"
"What?"
The Bai brothers, Dongxu and Dongxu, were both so shocked that they stood up, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Tell me what happened!" Bai Dongxu said with a gloomy face.
Bai Kexin dared not hide anything and quickly recounted everything she had seen.
After a long while, the room fell silent.
Bai Dongxu plopped down in a chair, looking somewhat bewildered.
If it weren't for his daughter saying these words, he would have suspected that someone was telling him a story.
Chu Xuan had actually reached the Great Perfection of Ming Jin, and even forcefully killed Meng Qing!
Is this something someone with only a third-rate aptitude could do?
Lu Tong did not give up on Chu Xuan. In fact, he even fought a battle with the master of the White Ape Martial Arts School for him!
How is that possible?
It should be noted that when Xu Yuan and the Bai family fell out, Lu Tong only asked Wei Hong to negotiate with the Bai family.
This is hardly an act of giving up.
Even if he were Lu Tong's own son, he probably wouldn't get this kind of treatment!
Bai Dongchu also stood there, stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
After a long while, he sighed dejectedly, his face full of complex emotions.
The Bai family missed their last chance to reconcile with Chu Xuan!
"Seventh Brother, you're right!" Bai Dongxu suddenly looked up and said, "It seems I was too narrow-minded before! A martial artist's potential can't be judged solely by their innate talent! Here's what I'll say: immediately take two hundred taels of silver to Chu Xuan..."
"Big brother!"
Bai Dongchu interrupted Bai Dongxu, his voice devoid of emotion, "Too late!"
Bai Dongxu opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything.
Yes, it's too late!
When he sent Bai Kexin to cause a scene at the martial arts school and ruin Chu Xuan's reputation, there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.
No, there was one more time.
This was when Bai Dongchu offered to help Chu Xuan resolve his grudges with Meng Qing.
Unfortunately, he rejected it without hesitation!
Chu Xuan's rise to fame in this battle has already proven his strength!
Lu Tong's willingness to step forward further proved that Chu Xuan had no need to curry favor with the Bai family.
It probably won't be long before the rumors spread by Bai Kexin will fall apart on their own!
By then, they will not only have lost Chu Xuan, a retainer who could have been a powerful ally to the Bai family, but they will also become a laughingstock in Qingshan City once again, following the Xu Yuan incident.
