Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled!

"Ahh.. my heart.." Cheng Mao felt that his heart was filled with pain and grief from Duan Li's accusations.

Besides, what do you mean drink horse milk? Did you think that my uncle was so pauper that he could not even afford to drink some proper cow milk?

You think that my uncle is a colt?

Bastard!

"Uncle, are you okay?" Cheng Mao asked worriedly.

"This... I'm fine! I was just caught off guard!" Cheng Chi harrumphed as he stood on his feet hurriedly after recovering from his shock, clutching at his mangled right hand and trying his best to suppress the pain.

For a Golden Core realm expert like him, any sorts of physical injuries could be recovered and healed over time, even if they were in the midst of a battle as long as one's spiritual Qi was continuously pumped to heal them. Normally, this wouldn't be practical though, as spiritual Qi reserves were practically the life line of a cultivator, so one had to be prudent in using them.

Therefore, although the bones in his right hand was shattered into pieces, since he immediately pumped his spiritual Qi relentlessly into it right now, it would only take him a few days to make a full recovery without any permanent damage if he also consumed some medicinal pills.

This was what differentiated those that cultivate and those that don't. Injuries that would make one a cripple their entire life was but a temporary damage to a cultivator!

However, to think that the other party would say something like his bones being brittle due to old age and he didn't drink sufficient horse milk...

I'm a Golden Core realm expert damn it! This is so Infuriating!

"No wonder you dare to be so arrogant, it seems that you do have some capabilities after all." Cheng Chi said, his expression indifferent despite the pain that he had to endure. No matter what, he must appear unfazed before the crowd around him!

Otherwise, he wouldn't know where to put his face into when facing the public!

In addition, he had already declared his association with the Blue Swallow Trading Company. If this were to affect the prestige of the company as a whole, his entire career would be at stake!

"Elder, you need not put on such a front. I think that its better we just leave things as it is now and pursue this matter no more." Duan Li chuckled as he replied to Cheng Chi calmly, his hands still clasped behind his back.

"Reckless young man, after things had already come to this point, do you think that I would just agree to you and end this matter just like that?" Cheng Chi snarled at Duan Li with hatred in his eyes.

Wengg!!

A sword that was emerald in colour appeared in his left hand.

Never before had he been so humiliated in front of the public before! He had come with the demeanor of an untouchable and powerful person, but now all that he had left was his fluent mouth to salvage whatever face he has left.

"Uncle! You must not!" Cheng Mao's expression changed when he saw his uncle whipping out a sword.

One must know that his uncle was a renown expert in swordplay among his peers. Just in the Doulou Empire alone, perhaps there was only some who hadn't heard of his title before...

Emerald Sword King!

"Enough! This is no longer a simple grudge, he had humiliated this uncle of yours before the public!" Cheng Chi replied with a cold voice.

Pointing the tip of his sword at Duan Li, he raised his voice, "You have proven yourself worthy of facing me, so I, the Emerald Sword King, challenge you to a duel! You can use any weapon you want!"

When the crowd heard this, they immediately broke into a commotion!

"A duel? Oh no... the masked man might be in trouble this time!"

"Aren't they going overboard? They are the ones who started this mess, yet they still did not want to leave? How shameless can one be? Bastard!"

"He has equipped himself with a sword! No matter how tough one's body are, the sharpness of a sword could not be underestimated!"

"Relax, it seems that the masked man has a plan! See his friends over there? They still look calm despite seeing that old man with a sword in hand!"

As the crowd were bustling in discussion, the father and son that also heard this were surprised.

"Father, what is an Emerald Sword King?" the son asked, intrigued by the seemingly domineering name.

"Hmph! It's just a title that he probably made up in his dreams! What Emerald Sword King? To dare call himself a 'King' is a huge blasphemy!" the father answered with a snort.

"You want a duel?" Duan Li was taken aback that the elder in front of him was being way too pushy!

It seems that he will not back down until I thoroughly defeat him!

Shaking his head helplessly, Duan Li replied, "Very well. I have given you the opportunity to leave intact before, so don't say that I'm bullying you later on!"

With his right hand still on his back, he raised his left hand forward, extending his index finger outward.

Seeing this, Cheng Chi's face darkened.

So he intent to use his fingers to fight against my sword?

Arrogant!

"But this is fine as well. I'll show him how mistaken he is to play around with me!" he gnashed his teeth and cursed Duan Li inwardly.

"First up, is your tendons!" Cheng Chi bellowed as he lunged forward with the swiftness of a panther.

Shaa!!

Cutting down at an angle that seemed to harness the power to severe even metal in half, Cheng Chi aimed at Duan Li's left shoulder!

Watch how I cripple your arm!

Pengg!!

"What?!" Cheng Chi was flabbergasted beyond belief.

He stopped my sword attack with the tip of his finger?!

The scene right now caused everyone to gasp in astonishment!

"He.. He was able to stop that heavy slash with his fingers?"

"Guys, just who is that masked man? How can he be so formidable?!"

The crowd began to grow excited seeing Duan Li's domineering move!

"One Finger To Rule All, this is the name of my martial art technique!" Duan Li suddenly declared!

Silence..

"One finger.." a person from the crowd uttered with widened eyes.

"To rule all..!!" another continued as he swallowed his saliva.

BOOMM!!

The crowd found their minds to be blown apart by the revelation of this name?

"What an overbearing name! Of all the name of techniques that I know, this name is probably the most powerful!"

"Damn it! My body hair is rising by itself!"

"Ahh masked man! Marry me!"

Cheng Mao and Cheng Chi was dumbstruck by the crowd's reaction, each becoming exaggerated overtime.

Ptuui!

Spatting to the side, Cheng Chi shouted in anger, "What an arrogant name! You are just lucky! I'll cut down that damned finger of yours!"

Crossing his legs at the opposite side of each other, Cheng Chi then deployed his movement technique!

Panther Shadow Dash!

Whosshh!!

His figure appeared to become blurry in an instant, before clashing sounds of metal echoed in the surrounding!

Peng! Peng! Peng!

Each of Cheng Chi's attacks was vicious and aimed for Duan Li's tendons on his four limbs, but as if his movements was decrypted before he even attacked, each of his slash and thrust was either dodged or defended with Duan Li's index finger as if they were nothing!

Peng! Peng! Peng!

After about 30 exchanges that happened in the span of a few breaths, Cheng Chi's face was finally devoid of his previous calmness. With it, was replaced by panic, anxiety, nervousness and fear!

Break! Break! Break!!

In fact, Duan Li was even slowly counter-attacking him, and his passive position was turning to become defensive!

"Hmph. It's over!" Duan Li suddenly said as he tapped at a certain point of the sword in a certain angle.

CRACK!

The emerald sword in Cheng Chi's hand cracked into many cobwebs before splintering into bits and pieces like a shattered wood plank!

"No.. No!! This is impossible! Impossible!!!" Cheng Chi finally could no longer suppress himself and screamed in horror!

SLASH!

With a vertical slash of Duan Li's finger, the robes of Cheng Chi and his clothing underneath it was sliced into two before dropping to the ground, revealing the naked figure of a wrinkled old man.
