24: Chapter 24 War King

Xiao Yuchen's words were astonishing, stunning everyone present; Brother Leopard was so incensed he laughed.

"Kid, you're young but your tone is quite big. Do you think you are the King of Worlds?" Brother Leopard retorted angrily.

"I don't have bad breath because I brush my teeth diligently, but I do have athlete's foot because I don't like washing my feet. Do you want to take a whiff?" Xiao Yuchen mocked deliberately.

"Good, very good. In Jiangcheng, apart from Lord King of Worlds, no one has dared to speak to me like this, not even people from the Four Great Families." Brother Leopard stood with his hands behind his back, completely disregarding Xiao Yuchen.

"Well, you've met one today. Stop with the nonsense. Are you all coming at me together, or one by one? I'm in a hurry." Xiao Yuchen waved his hand dismissively.

"Brothers, break his limbs for me." Brother Leopard chose not to step in himself, as he didn't believe a kid in his twenties could be that powerful.

Upon receiving Brother Leopard's order, the dozens of lackeys standing in front rushed forward with baseball bats.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuchen smiled contemptuously, tapped his right foot lightly on the ground, and a fierce Spiritual Qi radiated outward from him as the center.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With just one move, the fifty-some people in front were sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

Xiao Yuchen had held back, because these people would be his subordinates in the future; if he killed them all, it would be troublesome to recruit new ones.

"A Neijin Martial Artist? You are actually a Neijin Martial Artist? No wonder you are so arrogant!" Brother Leopard was shocked by Xiao Yuchen's cultivation, but he didn't care.

"Don't send these small fries up anymore; you should make a move yourself." Xiao Yuchen watched everything with calm eyes.

Although a bit surprised, Brother Leopard was not panicked. He was a Late Stage Internal Strength Martial Artist, only one step away from Great Perfection of Internal Strength, while Xiao Yuchen was so young, at most an Early Stage Internal Strength Martial Artist.

However, Brother Leopard overlooked one point: an Early Stage Internal Strength Martial Artist could not possibly achieve the projection of Internal Strength so easily.

"The three of us will attack together; I want to see how many moves this kid can take."

Besides Brother Leopard, there were two Middle Stage Internal Strength Martial Artists among the lackeys. With Brother Leopard, a Late Stage Internal Strength Martial Artist, they could even fight against someone at the Great Perfection of Internal Strength.

"Good, let's make it quick."

The three of them leaped into the air and each struck out with a palm, also projecting their Internal Strength.

Facing the three fierce attacks, Xiao Yuchen couldn't even be bothered to dodge. He stood there motionless, letting the three giant palms strike his body.

"This kid isn't dodging and wants to take it head-on? Isn't that just courting death?"

"Exactly, even an Early Stage Hua Jin expert wouldn't dare stand there without moving."

"That's right, I thought he was a cultivation Genius, but he turns out to be a fool. If he had dodged, he might have lasted a few rounds, though the result would be the same."

Bang!

However, just when everyone thought Xiao Yuchen was surely dead, a shocking scene occurred. The three palm imprints landed on Xiao Yuchen, and then that was it.

The three palm imprints seemed to vanish into thin air, having no effect at all. If one had to say they had an effect, it was that they enhanced Xiao Yuchen's strength.

"This... how is this possible? Could he be a Hua Jin Martial Artist?"

Thinking of this, Brother Leopard swallowed hard. Although he hadn't used his full strength just now, he had used eighty percent, yet that palm of his felt like hitting cotton, weak and powerless.

"Since you have already made your move, it's my turn. I will only use one move. If you three can take it unscathed, I will let you handle me however you please."

As he spoke, Xiao Yuchen casually struck out with a palm, but the momentum was not the least bit weaker than the combined attack of the three just now.

Facing Xiao Yuchen's palm, the three of them looked grave. They didn't dare to take it head-on, so they used their Internal Strength to protect their bodies; this was their strongest defense.

However, facing Xiao Yuchen's casual palm, their defenses shattered instantly, and they were slammed into the ground. Fortunately, all three were Internal Strength Martial Artists, and Xiao Yuchen hadn't used his full strength, so they survived.

"I want to integrate the Black Dragon Society. You three are the main force; otherwise, you would already be dead. Call over the King of Worlds behind you; don't waste any more of my time."

Xiao Yuchen's tone was cold. These people were all from the underground and were ruthless in their bones. Xiao Yuchen had to be even more ruthless than them; otherwise, it would be hard to make them obey.

"This... okay, I'll call."

Brother Leopard knew he was done for today. Even if they all attacked together, they were no match for Xiao Yuchen. The only course of action now was to follow Xiao Yuchen's arrangements.

"No need to call, I am already here."

Just then, a cold voice came from afar; it was precisely the King of Worlds that Brother Leopard had mentioned.

Xiao Yuchen stared at the dark-skinned big man. The person who arrived was about 1.8 meters tall, with a fierce face and a scar on his right cheek. One look, and he was clearly a person with a story.

Of course, having the experience of fighting Zhou Tiancheng before, Xiao Yuchen could tell at a glance that this King of Worlds was also a Mid-stage Hua Jin Martial Artist, seemingly even a little stronger than Zhou Tiancheng.

"You are the King of Worlds? Do you know how to use an Origin Qi Bomb?" Xiao Yuchen asked casually.

"Origin Qi Bomb? What is that?" The King of Worlds was a bit puzzled.

"You don't even know what an Origin Qi Bomb is, yet you dare to call yourself the King of Worlds? If you are the King of Worlds, then I am the God of Worlds. Tsk tsk tsk, another child without a childhood; how pitiful." Xiao Yuchen teased.

"To be able to defeat Brother Leopard at such a young age, I admit you are a Genius. If you are willing to join the Black Dragon Society, I can let bygones be bygones regarding what happened before. Otherwise, this Genius of yours is likely to fall."

Just as Xiao Yuchen was about to retort, the System sent a message again.

"Ding! Challenge released: Defeat the King of Worlds, integrate the Black Dragon Society. Reward: Cultivation Rank increases by one level, one 5x Cultivation Speed Experience Card. After use, your own cultivation speed will increase by five times for one day. Do you accept the challenge?"

Hearing the mission released by the System, Xiao Yuchen chuckled inwardly. This reward was practically a freebie; it couldn't be considered a challenge at all.

"Accept the challenge."

"Ding! Challenge accepted successfully. Please complete the mission within one day; the mission will be void after it expires." The System stated the precautions.

"It's not impossible for me to join the Black Dragon Society, but how about we make a bet? If I lose, I will join the Black Dragon Society. If you lose, from now on, the Black Dragon Society will follow my lead. Do you dare to bet?"

Seeing Xiao Yuchen so calm, the King of Worlds was a bit worried. But he had been mingling in Jiangcheng for decades; if he were scared off by a green kid, how could he continue to survive in Jiangcheng in the future?

Therefore, after careful consideration, the King of Worlds had no choice but to accept the challenge. If Xiao Yuchen really had superior skills, what did it matter if he surrendered? It was said that his Black Dragon Society had the ability to compete with the Four Great Families, but in terms of foundation, it was still far behind.

After all, the Four Great Families were forces built by their own people and were relatively more reliable. While he had integrated over a dozen Gangs, these Gangs were not sincerely paying membership fees to the Black Dragon Society, so the power of the Black Dragon Society could not withstand suppression.

Whether Xiao Yuchen joined the Black Dragon Society or the Black Dragon Society was integrated by Xiao Yuchen, the result would be that the Black Dragon Society would have two Mid-stage Hua Jin Martial Artists. This was enough to crush any of the Four Great Families. Since it was a business deal where he couldn't lose, why should he refuse?

"Good, I agree. As long as you win against me, you will be the boss of the Black Dragon Society from now on, and all thirteen Gangs under the Black Dragon Society will obey your orders."

The King of Worlds announced this publicly, stunning everyone present.
