The person was still shouting Xiao Lingyu's name outside. One of the two guards hurriedly went upstairs to invite Xiao Lingyu out.
"Someone wants to challenge me?"
Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised, but he still went downstairs and walked to the entrance of the camp.
"Xiao Lingyu, do you have the guts …"
"Stop shouting. I'm here."
Xiao Lingyu waved at the person and squinted his eyes to size him up.
Based on the person's resemblance to Qi Hongxuan, he could guess that the person was also from the Qi Family. He might even be Qi Hongxuan's brother.
Xiao Lingyu remembered that the Qi Family in Kun City only had one Divine Monarch expert. However, this cultivator who looked like Qi Hongxuan was also an early-stage Divine Monarch cultivator. However, he seemed to have just advanced to the early-stage Divine Monarch realm.
"You're Xiao Lingyu?" the person asked.
"That's right." Xiao Lingyu nodded.
"Do you have the guts to fight me?" the person asked again.
"Haha, I suggest that you stabilize your cultivation level first before considering challenging someone of the same level." Xiao Lingyu shook his head and laughed.
"Since you can tell that I just advanced, you should have the guts to fight me," the person said.
"Then tell me, who are you? Why are you challenging me? "Xiao Lingyu asked after thinking for a while.
"I'm Qi Hongbin. I'm sure you know why I'm here when you hear my name," the person said without hiding anything.
"Qi Hongbin?"
Xiao Lingyu felt that the name sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that Qi Hongxuan once said that Qi Hongbin was his second brother. Qi Hongxuan wanted Xiao Lingyu to kill this person.
"It seems that this guy was instigated by Qi Hongxuan to challenge me. Qi Hongxuan wants to use me to kill Qi Hongbin."
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyu could only say to Qi Hongbin, "Your cultivation level is not stable yet. Come find me after you've stabilized it."
Then, he turned around and prepared to enter the camp.
"Coward!"
"Coward!"
"A dog that bullies the weak and fears the strong!"
"You were born and raised by your parents, but you didn't have parents to discipline you!"
The more Qi Hongbin scolded him, the harsher it became. At first, Xiao Lingyu pretended not to hear him, but later, he was successfully angered by Qi Hongbin.
Not to mention Xiao Lingyu, no one would be able to tolerate being insulted in public. Moreover, this was equivalent to being insulted in front of Xiao Lingyu's house.
Several hours ago, in a courtyard of the Qi Family in Hush City, Qi Hongbin, who had just broken through to the early Divine Lord realm, was quietly meditating beneath a large tree. At this time, his third brother Qi Hongxuan came to visit him.
"I didn't expect Third Brother to have the leisure to meditate here," Qi Hongxuan said with a resentful expression.
"What's wrong, Third Brother?" Qi Hongbin asked in confusion.
"Big Brother was mercilessly killed. Now that the enemy has been found, he is enjoying himself in the Wildfire of the Steward of Husheng City. As Big Brother's blood brothers, if we can't avenge him, how can we face the other clansmen in the future?" Qi Hongxuan said with a sorrowful expression.
"What? That boy has been found? "
Qi Hongbin immediately became angry, but then he asked in confusion, "Since we have found the enemy, why didn't our family send someone to kill him?"
"Sigh."
Qi Hongxuan sighed deeply and said, "The Steward is also a big family. They are not willing to hand over that guy, and our Qi Family can't force our way into their courtyard … If we send someone to assassinate him, it will cause a lot of trouble for our Qi Family."
Qi Hongbin nodded to show that he understood.
Qi Hongxuan continued, "Second Brother, you know that we have just returned to the family and our status in the family is not high. It is already good that the family can put pressure on the Steward. We can't expect the family to make a big move just because of Big Brother's death."
"Then what should we do?" Qi Hongbin asked with a frown.
"We can't rely on the family, we can only rely on ourselves."
Qi Hongxuan then said with a difficult expression, "Unfortunately, Little Brother is weak. Even if I fight to the death, I can only accompany Big Brother. I can't kill that person at all. That person is now the deputy leader of the Wildfire of the Steward. His strength must have reached the Monarch God stage. "
Qi Hongbin immediately said, "Third Brother, don't be depressed. You are not his opponent, but I can go and fight with him!"
Qi Hongxuan said again, "But that person is hiding in their mercenary group's camp. Second Brother, how can you fight with him?"
Qi Hongbin pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think I should do to make him come out and fight with me? You always have a lot of ideas. Give me an idea! "
Qi Hongxuan pretended to think for a while, and suddenly said, "Second Brother, you can go to the Wildfire's entrance, and then …"
It could be said that Qi Hongbin came to provoke Xiao Lingyu today because of Qi Hongxuan's instigation. The reason why he cursed after Xiao Lingyu turned around was also because of Qi Hongxuan's idea.
Although Qi Hongxuan didn't know Xiao Lingyu very well, he was sure of one thing, and that was that Xiao Lingyu was very proud and had a very strong self-esteem. He definitely wouldn't allow his second brother to continue cursing.
Although the City Lord Manor's rules stated that if someone provoked someone as they wished, the other party could take action, but Qi Hongxuan and Qi Hongbin were willing to see Xiao Lingyu take action.
The angered Xiao Lingyu turned around again and walked to the entrance of the camp. He said, "You brainless thing. You don't even know that you are being used as a tool. You want to fight? Then let's fight! "
"Coward, if you have the guts and are still a man, then come with me to the duel arena! Let's have a life and death duel! "
Qi Hongbin said as he turned around and walked to the center of the city.
"Brother Xiao, calm down. If you kill him, I'm afraid the Qi Family won't sit still and wait," Miss Jing reminded Xiao Lingyu.
"Haha, if I don't fight, then he will definitely continue cursing. He even cursed my parents just now. As a child, how can I tolerate that? So what if I become enemies with the entire God Realm, let alone the Qi Family? Do you think they can kill me? "
Xiao Lingyu had a look of disdain on his face as he followed Qi Hongbin with a grave expression.
"Senior Xiao is so confident!" Zhang Hai praised before he strode after him.
Although Miss Jing felt that it was inappropriate for Xiao Lingyu to go to the duel arena, she still followed Xiao Lingyu silently with Xiong Meng and the others.
The steward must have already known what was going on here, but no one came out. At most, he would have sent someone to watch in secret.
There was a huge commotion here, and many busybodies followed along. Gradually, a human dragon was formed on the streets.
Although the closer they got to the center of the city, the more crowded the streets became. When the cultivators who were blocking the way saw the situation here, they very consciously made way for them.
The journey that would have taken them two days was completed in less than four hours.
When they reached the edge of the duel arena, Qi Hongbin took the lead and jumped onto the stage without hesitation. Then, he provocatively crooked his finger at Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu was not in a hurry to go on stage. Instead, he scanned the surroundings. With his sharp eyes, he quickly found Qi Hongxuan hiding in the crowd.
When their eyes met, Qi Hongxuan gave Xiao Lingyu a smug smile.
Xiao Lingyu knew that everything that happened today was within Qi Hongxuan's calculations. However, whether or not things would go according to Qi Hongxuan's plan would depend on Xiao Lingyu.
However, what made Xiao Lingyu unable to suppress his killing intent was that Qi Hongxuan stepped aside, revealing Yueru's petite figure.
Behind Yueru stood two stern-looking strong men.
Qi Hongxuan let Xiao Lingyu take a look. Then, he returned to his original position and blocked Yueru behind him.
It was obvious that Qi Hongxuan was threatening Xiao Lingyu. If Xiao Lingyu did not kill Qi Hongbin on the stage, Yueru would be in danger.
Xiao Lingyu did not know about Yueru's current situation in the Qi Family. At this time, he naturally thought that Qi Hongxuan had brought Yueru along to threaten him.
Qi Hongxuan was not the only person from the Qi Family who came. There were other ordinary Qi Family disciples and even high-level powerhouses.
The Qi Clan had originally not wanted Qi Hongbin to challenge Xiao Lingyu, but Qi Hongbin had come to the Flowing Fire Mercenary Corp's camp to provoke them first. Furthermore, Xiao Lingyu was indeed someone the Qi Clan wanted to kill. If the Qi Clan asked Qi Hongbin to stop now, it would undoubtedly be a slap to their own face.
"Hongbin is a good child. He has good aptitude and is willing to work hard to cultivate. Sooner or later, he will become a great talent. If he challenges Xiao Lingyu, it would be fine if he wins. However, if something happens, it will be a great loss to the Qi Family."
Qi Zhenghao, the head of the Qi Family in Kun City, was the father of Qi Hongxuan and his two brothers. When he heard that Qi Hongbin had challenged Xiao Lingyu and had arrived at the arena, he immediately went to look for the head of the Qi Family in Duhu City.
"They have already entered the arena. Everything will be decided by the two of them. The Qi Family cannot openly violate the rules of the City Lord Mansion." The head of the Qi Family in Duhu City narrowed his eyes and said.
However, at this time, an old man with a sword case on his back happened to pass by. Although the old man was dressed sloppily and did not care about his appearance, he was hale and hearty and had amazing hearing. He heard the conversation between Qi Zhenghao and the head of the Qi Family from afar and then quietly left.
Xiao Lingyu had already entered the arena. When he looked around, he could no longer see Qi Hongxuan and Yueru.
A group of city guards quickly surrounded the arena, which meant that the duel had begun.
Qi Hongbin did not bother to be courteous with Xiao Lingyu. With a swing of his arm, the scabbard of his longsword flew to the side. A bright and dazzling sword appeared and was swung by Qi Hongbin. A fiery red sword light whizzed out from the tip of the sword and shot towards Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu was an experienced fighter. Naturally, he would not be hit so easily. He stomped his feet on the ground and leaped high into the air.
Boom …
The fiery red sword light hit the stone floor of the arena and quickly turned into a flame, burning the hard stone into nothingness.
