Chapter 237: Chapter 122 Chen Jie: Feng San, I gave you a chance, but you’re of no use ah_6
At the beginning, when the Mulan people invaded the Central Plains, the High Priest of Mulan led fifty thousand Black Armor warriors to break through the one hundred thousand martial artists forming the National Defense Alliance Army. That battle served as a profound lesson to the martial artists: no matter how fierce scattered warriors and brave fighters are, they cannot compare to the charge of a large army.
After that, the Mulan army pressed forward relentlessly, causing the martial arts of the Central Plains to wither.
Under the pressure of the High Priest, all major sects could only contract their defenses, resulting in the current situation.
It must be said that the combat power of the Black Armor Elite Cavalry is very strong.
What was unexpected today was that a martial arts gambling duel would actually attract the Black Armor Elite Cavalry. It seems that Lord Darugachi held this battle in high regard.
“I’ve seen the Lord Commander!”
...
The martial arts leaders of Mianshui County said to the Black Armor Commander Qimu Ge, “Dispense with the formalities.”
These martial arts leaders, especially Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai, in reality, held statuses not beneath that of Qimu Ge. However, their respect was directed towards Lord Darugachi, as the Black Armor Commander, when appearing in public, represented Lord Darugachi.
At this moment, Qimu Ge also clasped his fist towards Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai, saying, “Brother Nan, Brother Liu.”
The two responded with a salute, after which Nan Batian asked, “Brother Qimu Ge, you came this time for?”
“By the command of Lord Darugachi, I am here to watch the battle! By the way, where is the old leader of the Beggar Sect?”
At this moment, an old beggar stepped forward and bowed, “Lord Commander.”
“Oh, you are the Beggar Sect’s leader of Mianshui County. My lord holds you in high regard, perform well. Also, my lord said he wants to invite the old leader to his residence for a discussion, to learn about the marvels of your Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms!”

Upon hearing this, the old beggar was momentarily stunned.
What did this mean, Lord Darugachi was interested in his Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms?
Seeing the old beggar like this, Qimu Ge suddenly burst into laughter, “Haha, just kidding. My lord knows the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms are the unique skills of your Beggar Sect, not to be casually revealed. How could he force you? Rest easy.”
With that, Qimu Ge directly made his way to the high platform, unhesitatingly taking the central seat. Representing Lord Darugachi, no one objected.
Only the old beggar was left standing in shock.
“Old leader, why stand below? Let the contest start quickly. Oh, by the way, who is hosting this event?”
“Lord Commander, I am the host.”
At this moment, Sun Bu’er quickly stepped forward, and Qimu Ge smiled, saying, “Hmm, let me explain the rules to you.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Bu’er replied, “Oh, oh, alright.”
Then speaking to the old beggar, Sun Bu’er said, “Old leader, you go up to the viewing platform, and I’ll host the contest.”
The old beggar directly went up to the platform, and only then did the people below clearly see the grandeur of today’s event.
Nine of the Thirteen Grand Protectors were present.
Nan Batian, Beilao Liu, beggar, constable, Ghost Hand, scholar, Red Face, fisherman, and the Eagle of the siblings Eagle, Tiger, and Leopard.
Only the oil seller, blacksmith, blind fortune-teller, and the Tiger and Leopard siblings of Eagle, Tiger, and Leopard were absent.
Actually, what they did not know was that the oil seller was also watching from below, simply not on the platform.
Moreover, there was the highest official of Mianshui County, the trusted aide commander to Lord Darugachi, whose strength was not inferior to that of the Thirteen Grand Protectors, Qimu Ge.
Suddenly, ten Energy Transformation Masters gathered together; truly a rare occurrence in a decade.
There were many reasons behind this gathering: first, the Beggar Sect wanted to stir up the situation in Mianshui, affecting the interests of many guilds, hence they had to come.
Second, some were curious about the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, therefore, they came to pay their respects.
Various reasons led to today’s venue filled with many experts. However, today they were not the main characters; the main characters were the six juniors of this gambling duel.
Sun Bu’er ascended the platform.
He had almost become the exclusive host for Mianshui County’s gambling duels. Regardless of who was preparing to host a gambling duel, they would always invite this leader of the Shunfeng Escort Agency to enhance their prestige.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the martial arts community, hello, I am Sun Bu’er from Shunfeng Escort Agency. I am honored to witness this gambling duel between the Beggar Sect and the Fishing Guild’s White Tiger Hall today, and we indeed have a gathering of top experts.”
“Our Thirteen Grand Protectors of Mianshui have nine present, and it must be said that the event is unprecedentedly grand.”
“And today’s competitors are also the young elites of our Mianshui County.”
“And the result of today’s duel concerns the future layout of our Mianshui County, therefore today’s battle will definitely be exciting.”
“I will now announce the rules of the competition!”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned to Sun Bu’er, and they all knew the rules were set by Commander Qimu Ge moments ago.
The old beggar slightly furrowed his brow as he glanced at Commander Qimu Ge, who maintained a normal expression and showed no hint of anything unusual.
At this moment, Sun Bu’er stated, “This match will use a best-of-three system, where each side sends people to participate in three individual battles. The side that wins two battles will be victorious in this duel.”
Hearing this, the crowd was briefly stunned, not detecting anything different.
Upon hearing this, Feng San showed a hint of disdain on his face and snorted, “Two matches? Humph, they won’t win even one; they’re all going to die!”
While at this point, Sun Bu’er continued, “Since this competition is initiated by the Beggar Sect, as the defending team, they will send their disciple to claim the stage first. White Tiger Hall, being the attacking team, will send their member afterward. Now, let the competition commence, Beggar Sect, send your defender!”
Following these words, none in the audience fully understood what the underlying implications were.
Feng San remained unconcerned, and turning to Zhou Peng he asked, “Old Zhou, that old man is for you. Are you confident you can defeat him?”
“Seventy percent.”
“And Old Liu, that trash is for you; can you defeat him?”
Feng San pointed at Zhou Chu at this point.
Mountain Climbing Vine Liu Feng sneered, “That trash, I can crush him with one hand!”
“Good, as for that Chen Jiusi, leave him to me. Hehe, I’ll make him beg for life and plead for death!”
Feng San said, his face full of murderous intent.
At this moment, Sun Bu’er spoke again, “Beggar Sect, send your defender.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng said, “I’ll open the battle!”
Immediately after, Zhou Peng tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and leapt onto the stage, assuming a stance, “Beggar Sect’s Zhou Peng, please instruct me!”
Seeing Zhou Peng ascend the stage, Peng Fu got up and said, “I will go.”
But just then, Chen Jie spoke up, “Wait, Uncle Fu.”
“What’s wrong, Jiusi?”
Peng Fu inquired, and Chen Jie asked, “Uncle Fu, how confident are you in defeating him?”
“Hmm, about forty percent.”
At this, Chen Jie continued, “And what about Liu Feng?”
“One hundred percent.”
Hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at the platform and the direction of the Commander, who seemingly also glanced this way. Their eyes met, making Chen Jie wonder if this was intentionally meant to help him?
However, now was not the time to contemplate this; Chen Jie said, “Uncle Fu, you rest this round; let Old Zhou go!”
“Ah? Jiusi, I, I should face the weakest one. Fighting Zhou Peng, won’t he kill me?”
Chen Jie chuckled and said, “Who said to beat him?”
“What do you mean?”
Zhou Chu, puzzled, looked at Chen Jie. Chen Jie smiled and said, “Have you heard of Tian Ji’s horse racing?”
“Huh?!”
Upon hearing this, Peng Fu’s eyes widened immediately. Was this even an option?
And Zhou Chu, after being stunned for quite a while, finally caught on, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “Haha! Jiusi, typical of you! Now I understand; it’s just the Iron Beggar Zhou Peng, watch how I handle him!”
Saying this, Zhou Chu burst into laughter and jumped onto the stage.
