68: Chapter 68 Siege
"Sister Ling, how could you be so vicious! Are you just hoping for me to become a widow?" Ouyang Huamei turned to look at Ouyang Ling, her face full of resentment.
Ouyang Ling was instantly speechless.
She rolled her eyes and retorted, "When did you two get married? You haven't even tied the knot, so where does this talk of being a widow come from?"
This rate of development was just too absurd.
How many days have they even known each other?
"Sister Ling, don't worry about that." Ouyang Huamei looked toward Xiang Tian, who was surrounded by the crowd, with burning eyes.
Her tone was firm, "I think he is good, so he is the best."
Ouyang Ling couldn't be bothered to argue with her anymore.
She found a shady spot to sit down, out of sight and out of mind.
Meanwhile, on the competition field.
Over a dozen contestants had surrounded Xiang Tian and his servant.
"Xiang Tian? I know you; you are the Fifth Master's nephew." One person in the crowd spoke up first.
The others nodded in succession upon hearing this.
They naturally all knew of Xiang Tian's identity.
"Enough talk, come at me together. Bring out your strongest attacks." Xiang Tian's tone was indifferent.
He couldn't be bothered to waste time engaging with them.
He swept his gaze over the crowd.
These people were all in the Martial King Realm.
In a one-on-one fight, Bai Yu could handle them with ease.
But facing over a dozen at once was a bit tricky.
"Yunguang, why waste breath on him!" Another person frowned.
Their tone was urgent, "Are we really going to let an outsider take away the champion title of our Ouyang Family's internal competition?"
"Heh, regardless of whether he can ultimately win, this courage to face a crowd alone is something we cannot compare to." Ouyang Yunguang chuckled.
He admitted he didn't have the guts to face over a dozen people head-on.
"Xiang Tian, you scoundrel! Today I will definitely make you pay the price!" A female voice rang out.
Ouyang Yunyan was surprisingly among the challengers.
She stared fiercely at Xiang Tian, her teeth clenched tight.
Obviously, she still held a grudge over what happened before.
"Ouyang Yunyan, I really didn't mean it last time..." Xiang Tian wanted to defend himself.
But Ouyang Yunyan gave him no chance to explain.
She let out a sharp cry, "Die!"
Immediately, she struck out with a palm, the wind from the strike fierce.
It was exactly her self-created palm technique, the "Cloud Palm"!
"Hmph! If you want to touch my Master, you must get past me first!" Bai Yu huffed and cried out.
Her four fox tails suddenly unfurled, firmly shielding Xiang Tian behind her.
"Boom!"
The Cloud Palm landed solidly on the fox tails.
However, Bai Yu's tails didn't Move an inch, and not even a single tuft of fur was damaged.
She turned to look at Ouyang Yunyan.
She blinked her lively, large eyes.
She said playfully, "Miss Yunyan, why don't you become my Mistress?"
"How insolent! To dare to have designs on Sister Yun!" Before Ouyang Yunyan could react.
A man in the crowd shouted angrily.
His eyes suddenly turned sharp.
"I admit, Xiang Tian's courage does far exceed ordinary people, but his strength is just so-so." The man said with a disdainful tone.
He added, "With Sister Yunyan's status, how could she possibly fancy him?"
The others nodded in agreement.
Their gazes were filled with disdain as they looked at Xiang Tian.
"Besides, Sister Yunyan's Dao Companion can only be someone from our Ouyang Family; how could we let an outsider benefit?" As the man spoke.
He licked his lips.
His eyes were greedy, scanning Ouyang Yunyan's body.
"Ouyang Qingyun, my affairs are not for you to interfere with!" Ouyang Yunyan frowned.
Her tone was cold.
She had long known of these people's illicit intentions toward her.
But she had never called them out.
"Sister Yunyan, don't be so hot-tempered." Ouyang Qingshan stepped forward.
He looked her over with an aggressive gaze.
He smiled, "We can help you get revenge, but you must take turns serving us brothers. I think this deal is not a loss for you."
Upon hearing this.
The others also stared at Ouyang Yunyan like hungry wolves.
Their greed was undisguised.
Xiang Tian, encircled in the middle, saw this scene clearly.
Bai Yu also retracted her fox tails.
The master and servant had instead become onlookers to this farce.
A moment later.
Xiang Tian had an idea.
He deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Ouyang Yunyan, don't agree to such filthy conditions just for the sake of revenge! Are you sure you want to serve a whole group of them?"
"What nonsense are you spouting! When did I ever agree to them!" Ouyang Yunyan's face flushed red from what he said.
Both ashamed and angry, her chest heaved violently.
"Oh? Is that so?" Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow.
"But you alone have no chance of getting revenge, right? Perhaps you've long had the thought of taking a risk."
"I didn't! Stop slandering me!" Ouyang Yunyan was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
"I guess they haven't made things easy for you in the past, have they?" Xiang Tian changed the subject.
"Compared to being harassed by them in every possible way, getting slapped by me really is nothing."
Ouyang Yunyan was outstanding in appearance.
It was inevitable that these people would harbor evil thoughts toward her.
"You're overthinking it!" Ouyang Yunyan took a deep breath.
Suppressing her anger, she said coldly, "They do want to have designs on me, but my grandfather is the Third Elder of the Ouyang Family. Even if you gave them a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to actually do anything to me!"
Once these words were out, Xiang Tian almost jumped.
He had originally wanted to take this opportunity to win Ouyang Yunyan over to his side.
Now, that was completely out of the question.
"Have you finished chatting yet?" Ouyang Yunguang, who had been patiently enduring, finally lost his patience.
He frowned and shouted, "We are here to fight, not to listen to you bicker!"
"Since that's the case, then let's fight!" As soon as Xiang Tian finished speaking.
His figure suddenly flashed, turning into an afterimage.
"Slap!"
A crisp, loud sound of a slap resounded throughout the entire arena.
[Ding! Host's Rank has increased by one level, reward 1000 face-slapping points.]
The sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned.
Ouyang Qingyun, who had been hit, was even more filled with disbelief.
He had actually been slapped in the face in public?
"You're courting death!" Ouyang Qingyun's face flushed red.
Rage rushed to his head, and he roared.
He punched toward Xiang Tian, "Earth Fist!"
"Hmph!" Bai Yu let out a cold snort.
Her four fox tails unfurled once again, blocking in front of Xiang Tian.
"Bang!"
Ouyang Qingyun's fist landed solidly on the fox tails.
Yet, there was not even a ripple.
"If you want to Move my Master, win against me first!" Bai Yu's eyes were sharp.
Her tone carried arrogance.
Ouyang Qingyun frowned, secretly shocked in his heart.
He hadn't expected this fox's defense to be so strong.
It was clearly not something he could deal with alone.
"This fox's strength is not weak, let's join forces!" Ouyang Qingyun turned to look at the others and said in a deep voice.
"Hmm, although I don't want to cooperate with you, this fox's defense is indeed tricky." Ouyang Yunguang had also seen the signs from the previous collision.
An ordinary Spirit Beast definitely wouldn't have such strong defense.
These master and servant were not simple!
"What are you still standing there for? Attack together!" Ouyang Qingyun raised an eyebrow.
He initiated the attack first.
The others didn't dare to hesitate any longer and all urged the Qi within their bodies.
They unleashed their strongest Moves.
"Flame Palm!"
"Ice Leg!"
"Mountain Splitting Fist!"
...
Various attack Moves emerged one after another.
They swept toward the master and servant, Xiang Tian and Bai Yu.
Xiang Tian's brow sank, and he secretly cursed that it was bad.
If all these attacks landed on Bai Yu.
Even if her defense was tough, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
He hesitated no longer.
He grabbed Bai Yu's wrist and flashed his figure.
With extremely fast speed, he brought Bai Yu out, instantly escaping the range of the attacks.
"Boom—!"
Several attacks converged in the center of the competition field and exploded with a bang.
They erupted with a deafening roar.
After the dust settled, a huge deep pit appeared in the center of the competition field.
It was even a circle larger than the pit left behind when Ouyang Miaomiao fought earlier.
"This guy's speed is actually so fast!"
On the high platform.
Ouyang Miaomiao's gaze was tightly locked onto Xiang Tian, her eyes filled with brilliance.
"It is indeed fast, almost catching up to the speed I reach when I burst out with full power." Ouyang Yunshan also nodded.
"Hmph, as expected of the person this Captain has taken a fancy to!" Ouyang Miaomiao lifted her chin proudly.
Her whole person felt a bit floaty.
Meanwhile, Xiang Tian on the arena.
He had no time to pay attention to the movements on the high platform.
He said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yu, they have many people, we can only defeat them one by one."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed again.
He appeared behind a contestant near the edge of the arena.
"Bang!"
Bai Yu understood immediately and followed closely behind.
She struck out with a palm.
She cried out, "White Jade Palm!"
The contestant was caught off guard and was solidly struck in the back by the palm.
His body stumbled, and he flew directly out of the competition circle.
He lost his qualification to compete.
"Master, we've taken care of one!" Bai Yu turned to look at Xiang Tian with a smile on her face.
With that palm just now, she hadn't used her full strength.
After all, there were still so many people to deal with!
"Xiao Yu, when did you create a 'White Jade Palm' yourself?" Xiang Tian was a bit surprised.
This little fox could actually ponder palm techniques on her own.
"Didn't Mistress Yunyan also create the 'Cloud Palm'? Why can't I?" Bai Yu shrugged, looking like it was only natural.
Xiang Tian was instantly speechless.
Why did this little fox have the word "Mistress" on her lips again?
"Don't, don't, don't..." He had just wanted to retort.
But hadn't yet managed to say the rest.
