Chapter 169 Apology
Chapter 169 Apology
Everyone was a little surprised when they first saw it. How could a black dog suddenly appear?
But the aura of the little black beast gradually emerged. It was very human and knew that today was an important day for its master, so it did not immediately show its final tall and mighty mentality, so as not to panic the people present, but gradually released the fierce aura that had devoured many high-level warriors and experienced many battles.
"A, a third-grade exotic beast?" The guests finally screamed in shock, their eyes nearly falling out.
Although they had heard of it, it was the first time for everyone present to actually see the rumored third-grade exotic beast with their own eyes.
Isn't this something that only the big powers can cultivate? Even the Situ family, the overlord of the county city, is far from qualified. Moreover, a canine beast? Isn't this a low-level bloodline beast? It should be impossible to break through the lower third level limit.
Yan Bo's heart was beating wildly. He never thought that when Xu Feng went to meet Gu Zun outside the county city and returned safely, the black dog he brought with him was actually a beast more powerful than him. It was unbelievable. Was he dreaming? Their Wan family had gained another great helper?
With Xu Feng who is in the middle stage of the fourth rank, the strange beast who is in the early stage of the fifth rank, and Wan Shengyang who will come out of retreat soon and has a great chance of breaking through to the middle third rank, plus him, such strength is enough to become the number one family in the west of the city.
Lei Mingtian didn't expect that Xu Feng not only had the strength of the terrifying fourth-grade middle stage, but also had a fifth-grade early stage exotic beast as a pet. He was shocked and jealous. Why? He, a genius disciple of the Lei family, was completely outshined by a Wan family priest who looked down on him.
He, who had always been proud and arrogant, suddenly became unbalanced mentally, with jealousy burning in his eyes.
"Xiao Hei, step back." Xu Feng said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei slowly stepped aside, but his eyes were still staring at Lei Mingtian ferociously.
"You have two choices. One, apologize immediately. Two, you and I go to the arena of life and death!" Xu Feng stared at Lei Mingtian.
As soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, all the sounds at the scene disappeared and you could hear a pin drop.
"What did you say?" Lei Mingtian seemed unable to believe his ears.
Xu Feng did not repeat it a second time, but just stared at him with cold eyes. Xiao Hei, who was standing beside him, also had a strong killing intent. I don't know if it was affected by the aura of Sword One and Knife Two, but once it had a killing intent, it felt like it was getting more and more intense and uncontrollable.
Lei Mingtian finally felt the pressure. If Xu Feng was at the same level as him, he would be 100% confident of defeating him. If he was at the new level, he would have the guts to fight him. With the Lei family's superior martial arts and his combat experience, he might have a 20% to 30% chance of winning.
But for the middle stage of the fourth rank, there is nothing to say. Although he is arrogant, he is not brainless. The difference in the total amount of spiritual power alone is enough to make him helpless.
This was a life-and-death contest. It was different from the usual contests to settle disputes, where only a winner was decided. This was a fight to the death. Without deep hatred, no one would do such a thing.
Although he could refuse, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact on his Taoism. Not only would he become a laughing stock in the county, but the reputation of the entire Lei family would also be affected.
Originally, warriors with higher realms were not allowed to challenge warriors with lower realms to a life-and-death arena, but who asked him to speak rudely on someone else's wedding day, with so many people present, he couldn't deny it. As a mid-level fourth-grade warrior, if Xu Feng had no reaction to such insults and provocations, it would have made people suspicious and look down on him.
Even though he was wrong first, how could Lei Mingtian just give in in front of everyone? Would he still want to keep his reputation?
"You want me to apologize? Are you sure?" Lei Mingtian said with a gloomy face. After all, he is the most talented person in the Lei family. He came here to represent the Lei family. If he apologized in public, the Lei family would also lose face. He didn't believe Xu Feng would dare to break up with the Lei family.
Xu Feng smiled contemptuously, then turned his head to Yan Bo and said: "Uncle Yan, please report to the Situ family immediately. I want to fight Lei Mingtian in a life and death arena. Today, I want him to die!" Xu Feng's tone was understated, but the murderous intent revealed was as real as it was, and it was more frightening than being angry and frustrated.
"Okay. I'll go right away!" Yan Bo now has no opinion on anything Xu Feng does. What about the Lei family? Last time, the chief priest helped them save the daughter of the Lei family's patriarch, and his vitality was seriously injured. He didn't recover for a long time. Later, Gu Zun came to the door, and the Lei family didn't even say hello to them in advance, and directly betrayed Xu Feng. Today, they are making trouble on the big day. Do they really think that the Wan family is made of mud?
"Master Yan, calm down." The person who came to present the gift on behalf of the Lei family was Lei Mingtian's cousin. Seeing that the situation was about to become irreversible, he quickly stopped Uncle Yan and cursed Lei Mingtian in his heart. Originally, he was here to express his apology on behalf of the Lei family, but now, let alone easing the relationship, he was afraid that they would become mortal enemies.
Even if the Lei family is not afraid of the Wan family, there is really no need to create such hatred.
"Mingtian, you are so rude. You should consider carefully how to make your decision." Although he is his uncle in terms of seniority, he is only a collateral relative. Lei Mingtian is very arrogant. If he speaks too harshly, he might not even give face to his cousin and embarrass him.
So he was just trying to give Lei Mingtian another chance to choose.
If he still insists on doing it, then I won't care. If things get out of hand, it won't be his fault.
Lei Mingtian's face turned pale and blue, he had never been forced like this before. Hesitation and struggle flashed across his face. He definitely could not enter the life and death arena, but if he refused, the whole county city would know about it. After all, the life and death arena was rarely initiated by anyone, and once initiated, it would definitely cause a sensation.
His reputation and Taoism will still be ruined, the cause and effect of the matter will be spread, and his family probably won't stand up for him.
After weighing the pros and cons, he finally lowered his proud head, reluctantly bowed to Xu Feng, and said, "Mr. Xu, I am rude, please forgive me." After saying this, his heart was bleeding. He didn't expect that a casual joke would cause such humiliation.
The uncle from the Lei family was also greatly relieved. Fortunately, Lei Mingtian was not carried away and knew how to judge the situation.
However, Xu Feng's next words made his heart rise to his throat again.
"Who asked you to apologize to me?" Xu Feng's cold voice came, causing everyone present to shudder again.
Xu Feng actually wanted the Lei family's genius to apologize to an ordinary woman? This, for a proud man like Lei Mingtian, is a great shame and humiliation. This seems unnecessary, right? Is it really that he doesn't care about the Lei family's reputation at all?
Lei Mingtian's heart jumped, and he looked at Xu Feng fiercely, his eyes full of disbelief and anger. But Xu Feng's face was gloomy, and there was a cold light in his eyes, which seemed to be even angrier than him.
Lei Mingtian clenched his fists and gasped like an ox for more than ten breaths. He closed his eyes in humiliation. When he opened them again, he seemed to have changed in some way. The expression on his face had returned to normal. He turned to bow to Shen Yunshuang and said, "I was rude and offended you. I hope you can forgive me."
Afterwards, he turned to Xu Feng and bowed slightly, then saluted to the guests present, then turned around and left in big strides.
