Chapter One Fainted

  Jian Ying's sword was extremely overbearing, unlike her usual enchanting and charming sword dance. This strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless, revealing just how strong her determination to kill Xiao Zhan was.

  "Cheers!"

  A few meters away, a flash of light passed by, the sword's glare was dazzling, the tip of the sword rushed straight to Xiao Zhan's brow, and the cold air froze to the bone marrow.

  In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu's "Overturning City Steps" was displayed, barely dodging this fierce sword by a hair's breadth. At this moment, he didn't have the mood to entangle with this little girl, and if time passed, her mother would be led out, then he would thoroughly become a tragic figure.

  In an instant, Xiao Zhan used his fingers as a sword, swiftly drawing in the air, and in the blink of an eye, a majestic "Zhen" character appeared.

  "Pervert! Go die!"

  Xue Ying's killing intent was like a raging fire, her sword had yet to land a hit. The longsword in her hand mixed with sword energy, transforming into a silver dragon in an instant, once again charging towards Xiao War who was hastily retreating.

  Xiao Zhan's eyes turned icy cold, and the "Attack-Defense Sword Heart" in his mind suddenly trembled. In an instant, the "镇" character transformed from sword energy also trembled, and the sword light burst forth, shooting towards the sky. The entire character suddenly enlarged, and with a loud crash, it struck down at Zhan Ying's umbrella.

  Zhan Yun's face changed color, she felt that with the arrival of the font, the void seemed to be locked up. Before she could react, the "镇" character had already covered her, and in an instant, she only felt herself trapped in a world of sword energy. Her eyes, her surroundings were all fierce sword energy, while Xiao Zhan had long since disappeared without a trace. Although startled in her heart, Zhan Yun did not panic, her long sword and the silver dragon transformed from the sword energy continued to move forward, slashing fiercely towards the intersecting sword energy.

  Hmmm...

  Apart from the humming sound of the sword energy in her ears, the imagined rumbling explosion did not occur. The silver dragon was cut off like a mud cow entering the sea and disappeared without a trace. This result only changed the color of Zhan Ying's face.

  Sword Formation!

  Yes, this is the sword formation. The nine characters in the "Nine-Character Sword Key" can not only be transformed into nine moves of swordsmanship to attack people, but also into nine sword formations. After transforming into a sword formation, it can absorb the heaven and earth's original energy from the void to maintain the sword formation. The "镇" character in the "Nine-Character Sword Key" is an all-in-one defensive and offensive sword formation, and it would be impossible for Zhan Ying to break through it for the time being. After temporarily trapping her, Xiao Zhan flashed into the small building, but as for how to face the mother-daughter pair at the next dinner, he could only take things one step at a time.

  Xiao Zhan had just left, and Tian Mei appeared, looking at her daughter trapped in the sword array. She frowned, hummed, and with a wave of her sleeve, the sword array shattered instantly. In an instant, War Yun emerged with a furious face, holding a long sword, her eyes scanning viciously, and she roared: "Scoundrel! I'll kill you!"

  "Everyone's gone, shut up!"

  Tears burst forth from her eyes as she flung herself into Tian Mei's arms, sobbing: "Mother, I've been bullied. You must stand up for me."

  At this point, she vividly described how Xiao Zhan had peeped at her while she was bathing, naturally omitting the part about the sword dance in the city. After listening to her account, Tian Mei's eyes flashed with cold light, and she thought to herself: "This dead little brat actually peeked at us mother and daughter while we were bathing, I let him off too easily earlier!"

  Looking at her daughter with tears in her eyes, Tian Mei comforted: "Yinger don't worry, mother will capture that little devil surnamed Xiao and let you vent your anger."

  Zhan Ying's jade face revealed joy, just as she was about to cheer, her whole body suddenly froze, her eyes flashed, and she hesitated for a moment before asking: "Mother, what is that scoundrel's name?"

  Xiao Mei hummed: "Xiao Zhan."

  "What?" Zhan Ying exclaimed in surprise.

  "What's wrong?"

  Zhan Ying's face changed color, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and roared in her heart: "How could this be? Is the 'Xiao Meng' that my sisters said was founded for this lecher? Then haven't I boarded a pirate ship?"

  Xiao Zhan quickly returned to his residence, at this time the sky was gradually darkening, Qin Nian had already gone back to Jue Xian City, and told Si Yu about Zhan Yan's plan, then packed up some things and headed towards the small building. The location of dinner was on the second floor, Xiao Zhan, Zhan Yan, Tian Mei, and Zhan Yun sat around a table, silently eating their meal.

  The expected fierce attack did not occur, and the two women did not erupt on the spot, which made Xiao Zhan breathe a sigh of relief. However, the murderous gaze that the two women occasionally cast at him made him feel chilled to the bone, extremely nervous. After one meal, Xiao Zhan didn't even dare to take a deep breath, he couldn't figure out what kind of trick these two women were playing.

  What's meant to happen will still happen, and what's meant to be avoided can't be avoided.

  It wasn't long after dinner that Zhan Ying found Xiao Zhan alone, her face filled with anger and her eyes flashing with a fierce killing intent. She tightened her grip on the precious sword in her hand, and just as Xiao Zhan thought she was going to attack him, she coldly said: "You scoundrel! I want to duel you, and under everyone's watchful eyes, I will personally cut you down with my own sword."

  "What?" Xiao Zhan exclaimed in shock.

  Zhan Ying raised her chin and said proudly: "Tomorrow at half past Chen time, I will be waiting for you in the martial arts arena of Zhan Valley. Of course, you can also choose not to come."

  After humming a sound, he turned his body and went downstairs, leaving behind a stunned Xiao Zhan.

  Duel? Xiao Zhan rubbed his chin, deep in thought. After two exchanges, this girl should know how difficult it is to defeat him, yet she still wants to propose a duel, does she have some kind of trump card?

  "Hmm!"

  A cold snort exploded in Xiao Zhan's ear, instantly causing his blood to surge and his chest to feel unbearably stuffy. By the time he had calmed down, a figure in black appeared before him. The icy gaze and murderous intent were suffocating, leaving Xiao Zhan breathless and trembling with fear, not even daring to breathe.

  The phoenix's eyes sparkled with a sinister glow as she said coldly, "Very good! Very good! You're the first person to dare bully my mother and me. If you don't give me an explanation for this, I'll never let you off!"

  Xiao Zhan swallowed hard and said: "Mei Yi, I..."

  "I don't want to hear any excuses. I just want to know what you plan to do about tomorrow's duel."

  Xiao Xiao said in a low voice: "Don't I admit defeat?"

  Tian Mei's eyes widened in anger, and she scolded, "No way! Tomorrow's duel you not only have to win, but also win beautifully. You must make Ying'er lose convincingly."

  Xiao Zhan asked in surprise: "Why?"

  Her face was as cold as ice, and she said in a murderous tone: "You've tarnished my daughter's innocence, you must take responsibility! If you dare to abandon her after playing with her, I'll castrate you!"

  Xiao Zhan stared with his eyes wide open and said: "Let me be in charge?"

  "Are you not going to take responsibility?"

  Xiao Zhan hastily shook his head and said: "Responsible! Of course, I want to be responsible! But my cousin hates me to the bone, even if I wanted to take responsibility, she wouldn't agree."

  "Tian Mei coldly smiled and said: 'This is your business, in short, if you dare to wrong my daughter, I will castrate you!'"

  She finished speaking and let out a cold snort, then turned around and floated away, leaving behind Xiao Zhan with a face full of knots.
