Pick the hyacinth.
"Stop right there!" The old man said as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Xia Fei stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at him with a smile. What? Did I say something wrong?
Everyone was rendered speechless, looking at the elder with questioning gazes. In truth, he was Hyacinth's father, Otter, and this show had been orchestrated by him.
The atmosphere was a little tense. Seth rolled up his sleeves and stood beside Xia Fei. He did not really understand what was going on, but he instinctively felt that something was not right.
Old Otter could not take this lying down, which was why he had called out to Xia Fei earlier. He had completely lost his mind from anger, and if Xia Fei had really done something wrong, he really could not tell what it was.
After all, he was the one who had set this up, and he was the one who had gotten someone else to kill the Undead Beast King, Nine-armored Land Drake. Unfortunately, an undead exotic beast was no match for the Blood Crystal, and Xia Fei had effortlessly killed it. He had also gotten his hands on the valuable undead materials so that he could make more explosive points in the future.
Xia Fei raised his eyebrows, turning from guest to host as he walked over with a murderous look on his face.
When the mercenaries saw that the situation was not right, they all stood in front of Otter. At this point, even a fool would know that these people were actually in cahoots.
The so-called impersonator was just an elegant term. To be honest, impersonators should be called liars. Imitating others was just a part of the job of impersonators. Most of the time, they were doing layers upon layers of schemes to deceive others.
"How interesting. I'm here today to ask Hyacinth to do something for me, so I can be considered a guest. It's fine if you're not willing to take over, but you're actually trying to set me up. Just what kind of logic is this?" Xia Fei coldly said as he walked.
Seth knew that this group of people was formidable, so he had no intention of clashing with Hyacinth, but he had already sold his life to Xia Fei, so all he could do was puff out his chest and glare.
Elder Otter's expression changed again and again. He gritted his teeth and said, "You hurt my granddaughter first!"
"Bullshit!"
Xia Fei unceremoniously cursed. If not for that precious granddaughter of yours lying to me first, would I have retaliated? Besides, it's as easy as lifting a finger for me to hurt someone. Not to mention a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, even if all of you were tied together, you still wouldn't be enough! "
"Arrogant! We, Hyacinth, are not to be trifled with! "The curly-haired middle-aged man was also enraged, shouting loudly.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei's figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood, and the next moment, Xia Fei's fist had already landed on the curly-haired man's chin.
Crack ~
His lower jaw shattered on the spot, and a few teeth flew out along with purple blood foam!
As it was an uppercut, the man, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, was sent flying in an arc and fell into the river like a kite with a broken string.
Thump!
"What does it have to do with me whether you eat meat or vegetables? Calling me arrogant? I'm really going to be arrogant today. What can you do? In this world, fists speak. If you think your fists are strong enough, then bring it on! If one of us makes it back alive, I'll change my surname to yours! "
Xia Fei was truly enraged, not bothering to hide the rage in his chest at all. His powerful aura instantly enveloped the bridge and the bamboo forest!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the bamboo forest, the members of Hyacinth who had been watching from the sidelines all came to the bridge, forming a group of more than a hundred people. Aside from Hyacinth and his wife Poria, the other top-notch impersonators who had not tasted defeat in twenty-five years were all mobilized!
The warriors stood at the very front, and even the logisticians who were not too proficient in martial arts glared at Xia Fei.
Xia Fei's punch earlier was a signal; he was going to make an enemy out of all of Hyacinth!
On one side was the elite combat team of Exiled Grounds, and on the other side was Xia Fei and Seth.
Though there were only the two of them, Xia Fei had no intention of backing down. His eyes were dark, as if he did not care about these hundred or so people of all ages.
Gritting his teeth, Seth quickly calculated what the outcome would be if he were to really fight with Hyacinth. As a level 2 Law Emperor, it was not difficult for him to take down thirty of them. As for Xia Fei, who had an unfathomable cultivation, Seth was even more impressed. Even the Crag Defense could not stop Xia Fei, so Seth believed that these impersonators would not be able to either.
With a little more calculation, Seth realized that his side had a great chance of winning, so he stood in front of Xia Fei and pointed at the other party as he cursed, "You bunch of liars! How dare you provoke my master! You must be tired of living! If you don't kneel and apologize, I'll tear you apart and feed you to the dogs! "
Old Otter's face was as cold as ice. Seth's words were no different from adding fuel to the fire. At this point, there was no way out of this fight.
* Thump! *
Seth was secretly pleased with himself for showing his loyalty, but he did not expect Xia Fei to pick him up and throw him over a dozen meters away. His huge body landed on the wooden bridge, and it was fortunate that he did not shatter it.
"Scram! I don't need your help! "Xia Fei was not polite at all.
These people did not recognize Xia Fei, but there were many who recognized Seth, knowing that he was a Law Emperor and a rare Defense type at that.
It was already shocking enough that a Law Emperor had acknowledged Xia Fei as his master, but Xia Fei was still so rude and unreasonable to Seth, throwing him to the ground without giving him any face. Was there any justice left in this world?
Otter groaned inwardly. He had loved studying exotic beasts since he was young, and he knew that the little ball beside Xia Fei was the Holy Beast Shatterstar. Xia Fei could casually beat up a Holy Beast, so of course he did not care about the Law Emperor Seth at all. There were plenty of Law Emperors in the circle, but the Holy Beast Shatterstar was one of a kind!
When Otter saw Xia Fei beating up Furball, he immediately gave up on the idea of making an enemy out of him. It was just that the Undead Beast King Nine-armored Land Drake had been by his side for many years, and he could not stand it, which was why he had yelled at Xia Fei. He did not think that his disciples and grand-disciples would actually think that this old man had decided to start a fight, so they all came out from the shadows.
"All of you, come at me together," Xia Fei said coldly as he stopped about a dozen meters away from them.
Everyone gritted their teeth and looked at Otter, waiting for him to give the order.
Otter did not dare to give the order. He knew that Xia Fei would not leave anyone alive once he made a move, and there might even be no more Hyacinth left in this world. Seeing how agitated the crowd was, Old Otter pondered how he could come up with a perfect ending that would not clash with Xia Fei or embarrass himself.
It was at this moment that the curly-haired, middle-aged man who had fallen into the river charged out, raising a mountain-splitting axe with both hands and cleaving right at Xia Fei!
Due to having his chin smashed by Xia Fei's fist, the man's mouth was a bloody mess, and he was shouting something indistinctly as if he wanted Xia Fei to pay the price.
"No!" Otter hurriedly shouted. He knew very well that there was still room for negotiation, but if the conflict were to escalate, it would be a fight to the death!
Alas, he was still one step too late. All he saw was Xia Fei's figure suddenly vanishing, grabbing that curly-haired, middle-aged man out of the air like he was catching a sparrow.
Using two fingers to clamp that man's throat, Xia Fei exerted a little force, and the curly-haired man began wailing like a ghost. The river water and purple blood all over him mixed together, dripping onto the bridge. Even his tears were streaming down his face, and he was just short of wetting his pants.
Seeing how forceful Xia Fei was, the old demon lord laughed. "It looks like you're not planning on recruiting Hyacinth. Aside from them, there's probably no stronger team in the Exiled Grounds. Why don't you let them go, as long as they're willing to cooperate?"
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. "I originally had no intention of making things difficult for these fellows who rely on disguises and deceit to survive, but they actually wanted to set up a trap for my weapon. You're my senior, so you should understand the severity of the situation."
The old demon lord did not say anything. A warrior's weapon was akin to their life, and its importance was incomparable. Fortunately, Xia Fei had seen through their trap, and not only did he not get tricked into taking away the Blood Crystal, he even managed to kill the Undead Beast King, Nine-armored Land Drake. However, their original intentions were sinister, and it was a taboo for a warrior!
Pursing his lips, Oro could not bring himself to advise Xia Fei. If he were in Xia Fei's shoes, Hyacinth and his gang would have long been wiped out.
Just as the situation was about to get out of hand, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Brother Ah Fei! Brother Seth! Have mercy! "
In the distance, Hyacinth and his wife, Poria, were running over in a panic, and right behind them were Sakura and the young Sambo.
Though Sakura was used to being spoiled, she was not a bad person by nature, and she was also far smarter than her peers.
She had been hiding in the forest to watch Xia Fei, but Xia Fei had seen through Otter's ploy, and the two of them had ended up clashing.
Sakura knew that impersonators were not warriors, and using disguises and deceit was her forte. As for fighting, how could she possibly be a match for a professional warrior like Xia Fei?
This matter had started because of her, and it was Sakura who had added fuel to the fire that had enraged Otter, determined to trick Xia Fei out of his weapon and teach him a lesson. Now that the plan had failed, Xia Fei was angry, and Sakura, the instigator, was also panicking. Ignoring the fact that she would be scolded by her parents, Sakura ran home to get Hyacinth and Poria.
"Brother Ah Fei, let's talk this out. We're all friends, so why do we have to end up like this?" Hyacinth hurriedly said.
Xia Fei coldly laughed. "I treat you guys as my friends, but what do you take me for? If a tiger doesn't show its might, you'll think it's a sick cat, and you actually tried to trick me out of my weapon. A warrior's weapon is their second life. How are you going to settle this score?! "
His words were unforgiving, but Xia Fei's hand had loosened a little, for he had suddenly thought of a plan, a plan that could possibly take down this tough nut that was Hyacinth!
What he feared was someone like Xia Fei who did not care about his life when he went crazy, but who had a heaven-defying analytical ability when he was rational. Be it in a civil or military manner, there was no one who could take advantage of him.
Hyacinth's expression turned cold, and he looked strangely at the partners he had worked with for many years. When he saw the bewilderment in his father's eyes, Hyacinth instantly understood everything.
"Brother Ah Fei, I'm the leader of the team, so I'm responsible for this matter. Can you let go of my brother first and we can slowly discuss this?"
Sakura gritted her teeth and pouted. "Actually, I'm to blame for this. It's me —"
Without waiting for Sakura to finish, Xia Fei rudely cut her off.
Xia Fei had long felt that there was something fishy going on here. He and Hyacinth did not buy it, but it was not to the point of scheming against each other. The moment Sakura spoke, Xia Fei immediately understood. It turned out that this lass was the one who had instigated this.
Xia Fei had finally managed to get ahold of Hyacinth's pigtail, and he was just about to take him down in one fell swoop. If Sakura took the initiative to take the blame, Xia Fei would not be able to be ruthless. After all, she was just a little girl, and Xia Fei could not possibly take things too seriously with a half-grown child.
"There's no need to say anything more. I don't care what reason you have. What's done is done. How can there be such a good thing in the world if you don't want to admit it?!" Xia Fei said with a dark expression. "You can choose between the two paths. Either we fight it out according to the rules of a warrior, with me facing all of you alone!
"Or we fight it out according to the rules of you impersonators, with me facing all of you alone! Since I'm going to do it, I'm going to go all out! I'm going to make all of you accept your defeat today! "
Everyone paled. Xia Fei actually wanted to fight Hyacinth alone?! Furthermore, it was a civil and military duel!
How arrogant!
