A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 179 Duel

Everyone shouted in unison, "Challenge! Challenge! Challenge!"

The village chief's face was almost as red as a pig's liver. He was about to shout a stern rebuke when the elder spoke first, saying, "Baihui, as a member of Sun Village, have you forgotten our ancestral precepts?"

Upon hearing this, Baihui bowed to the Grand Elder and then said calmly, "Grand Elder, Baihui has not forgotten. However, the ancestral precepts were only set for the people of our Sun Village. This person is not from our Sun Village. Therefore, my challenge to him did not violate the teachings of our ancestors. Everyone, do you agree with what I said?"

"Yes," the crowd below echoed.

The elder frowned, but Chao Bufan had already spoken up with a smile: "A challenge? It seems quite interesting. Baihui, to be honest, you're not even good enough to carry my shoes."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hui sneered and said, "If that's the case, then do you dare to accept my challenge?"

Chao Bufan threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stomped it out, then laughed and said, "If I don't accept your challenge, people will think I'm afraid of you. But... if it's a challenge, then there must be rules for it."

Bai Hui said, "Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate! If I am defeated by you, you may kill me or torture me as you please, but if you lose..."

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "There are no ifs."

"Alright, since you're so confident, let's swear an oath to the heavens! We'll leave everything to fate, and the loser will not hold the winner accountable in any way."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "The last sentence is pleasing to the ear, but I don't think it's necessary to swear an oath to heaven. A challenge is a duel, and everyone in Sun Village is here. They can be our witnesses."

"Okay, enjoy it."

At this moment, Fairy Lily appeared on the stage in a flash. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she asked, "Baihui, do you really want to challenge him?"

When Baihui saw Fairy Lily, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He, who was always arrogant, seemed to change completely when he saw Fairy Lily. He scratched his head and chuckled, saying, "Yes...yes, Fairy Lily."

Fairy Lily raised an eyebrow and said, "Baihui, let me ask you, between you and me, whose cultivation is higher?"

Bai Hui replied without hesitation, "Naturally, your cultivation is above mine, Fairy."

Fairy Lily said coldly, "Since your cultivation is inferior to mine, what makes you think you can challenge Young Master Chao?"

"I……"

Bai Hui was stunned for a moment, unable to understand why Fairy Lily would suddenly say such a thing, and he felt terrible.

"Stop fooling around, get down!"

As Fairy Lily spoke coldly, Bai Hui's eyes twitched, as if a sharp knife had suddenly pierced his heart. He sneered and said, "Fairy Lily, do you also think I'm just fooling around?"

"What else is this but nonsense?"

Bai Hui nodded and said, "Alright! Just take it as me being silly. But I've already said it and sent out the challenge. A man's words are like water spilled; they can't be taken back. Um... Young Master Chao, am I right?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes, that's right. Then let's stop talking and start the duel!"

Bai Hui smiled and said, "Okay."

Seeing that Bai Hui was beyond saving, the Grand Elder suppressed his anger and said, "Bai Hui, since you insist on dueling with Young Master Chao, then we will no longer stop you. I hope you won't regret it."

Bai Hui smiled faintly and said, "Elder, I appreciate your kindness. As I said, this is a life-or-death duel, and I will not regret it. But rest assured, I will go easy on you."

Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "Confidence is a virtue, but blind confidence is foolish. Elder, Baihe, you may both step down!"

The Grand Elder hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, saying, "Baihui, you'd better think carefully about what you've done!"

After saying that, he turned around and said to the village chief and the others, "Let's step back for now!"

Baihe pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Chao Bufan before turning and walking off the stage.

However, when Baihui saw the pleading look in Baihe's eyes as she looked at Chao Bufan, he sneered inwardly and thought to himself, "How ridiculous! You are all so foolish as to beg him for mercy. He is nothing but an outsider, and with his weak aura, I could easily crush him with just one finger. Heh, just you wait and see! Watch how I humiliate him."

After Baihe stepped off the platform, Chao Bufan stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Baihui, don't blame me for not warning you. You can still regret it now, but if things really come to blows later, I won't hold back."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hui shook his head and sneered, saying, "Heh, you really think you're a savior?"

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "You know what, I really am your savior."

"Shit!"

Bai Hui uttered two curse words indifferently and said coldly, "If you are the savior, then I am a god."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Very well, then let's see whether I, the savior, am more powerful, or you, the god."

After speaking, the two stood facing each other. Bai Hui looked at Chao Bufan with disdain, and Chao Bufan looked at Bai Hui with the same disdain. As for the audience below the stage, seeing that the two were getting serious, everyone held their breath and stared intently at the two who were about to compete on the stage.

Neither of the two on stage took the other seriously, especially Bai Hui, whose disdain was obvious. Seeing that the other party didn't take it seriously at all, he raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Heh, since you are so arrogant, then I won't be polite."

With a muffled roar, Bai Hui rapidly circulated his internal energy. In the blink of an eye, he roared again, and the once clear sky suddenly filled with churning dark clouds and howling winds. As his figure disappeared from the platform, the rolling dark clouds condensed into a gigantic, fleshy hand that slammed down. In an instant, the hand transformed into a claw, attempting to seize Chao Bufan.

"Ah...look, 'Ethereal Palm'! Brother Hui has actually learned 'Ethereal Palm'! Brother Hui is amazing!"

"Brother Hui is invincible!"

……

Among the crowd, Baihui's followers screamed when they saw a huge hand appear out of thin air in the sky. It seemed that their worship of Baihui was even greater than before. Many of them even looked at Chao Bufan as if he were an ant and sighed softly, "Alas! I'm afraid you, this savior, are finished."
