The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 453 Keeping the Appointment
Chen Xiao complained.
Actually, Chen Xiao was just saying that casually, because he knew that with the physical vitality of a martial artist, let alone getting a woman pregnant in his sixties or seventies, it wouldn't be difficult to do it even at a hundred years old.
Chen Xiao also felt that Liu Yu's guess was correct. After all, no one saw Jin Zaishi eat Kuriyama Chizuru.
Now, Kuriyama Chizuru and Jin Zaishi, including Mitsui Akiba, are all dead.
Dead men tell no tales, and as their common enemy, it's reasonable for Kuraki Kazuo to hold Chen Xiao responsible for this.
"Then, Mr. Chen, what do you plan to do? Are you going to accept the challenge?"
Liu Yu asked.
"Go, of course I'm going!"
Chen Xiao said as a matter of course, "They've provoked me, I can't be a coward, right? Besides, I'll take this opportunity to see what the so-called S-class ability users are really like."
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Hearing this, Liu Yu could only click her tongue inwardly. To talk about a life-and-death duel with an S-class ability user so lightly, probably only the person in front of her could do it.
That night, Chen Xiao arrived on time.
At midnight, a bright moon hung in the sky.
Beneath the bright moon was a vast river, sparkling with light.
On the riverbank, an old man stood alone, leaning on his sword, adding a touch of solemnity to the world.
"You've finally come!"
Looking in the direction Chen Xiao was walking from, Kuraki Kazuo said calmly.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao rolled his eyes directly: "What do you mean 'finally come'? You set the time, I arrived on time, how come you make it sound like I'm late?"
Kuraki Kazuo's expression froze. He had thought of a lot of impressive lines, but Chen Xiao's words instantly lowered his style.
He didn't have a chance to say those lines.
"Forget it, I don't want to waste words with you, young man. Let's have a duel to the death!"
Kuraki Kazuo pulled out a long sword from the soil. The blade was still hidden in the scabbard, but it couldn't hide the sharp sword intent coming from within.
The Japanese sword art has a lot of emphasis. Just the most basic act of drawing a sword can be divided into many schools.
However, just as Kuraki Kazuo's hand gripped the hilt, Chen Xiao suddenly raised his hand and interrupted, "Wait! Old man, we have no past grudges and no recent grievances. What do you mean by wanting a duel to the death as soon as we meet? Of course, since I'm here today, I don't intend to be a coward, but before we start fighting, we have to make things clear, right?"
"Hmph, you're still pretending to be confused?"
Kuraki Kazuo said coldly, "I ask you, did you kill Kuriyama Chizuru and Mitsui Akiba?"
"So, you're here for that."
Chen Xiao shrugged, then took out his phone and played a video for Kuraki Kazuo.
"Old man, open your eyes and see who killed your daughter!"
When Kuraki Kazuo saw the scene in the video, when Jin Zaishi bit off half of Kuriyama Chizuru's head, he was heartbroken and so angry that his white hair stood on end.
"Baga yarou!" (Japanese curse word)
Kuraki Kazuo gritted his teeth and cursed, "Jin Zhengxi, you old dog, you dare to deceive me! I will fight you to the death to avenge my daughter!"
At this time, he was no longer a respected master of swordsmanship, but just an old father whose mind was clouded by anger.
As soon as he finished speaking, a displeased voice suddenly came from behind a pile of rocks nearby.
"Axi-ba! (Korean curse word) Kuraki Kazuo, you bastard, why did you expose me! Didn't we agree that you would restrain his attention, and I would give him a fatal blow from behind!"
Along with this voice, a middle-aged man in a brown leather jacket came out from behind the rocks.
This middle-aged man was pot-bellied, with a chubby figure, a round face, decorated with two small eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth.
This person's appearance looks very honest, but there is a hint of cunning in his honesty.
At this moment, Liu Yu's voice came from Chen Xiao's headset.
"Mr. Chen, this is not good. This person is Jin Zhengxi, one of the three S-class ability users of the Night Group. Don't be fooled by his honest appearance. In fact, he is very cunning and good at stirring up trouble. Moreover, as far as I know, he is already over eighty years old!"
On the rooftop of a tall building near the river, Liu Yu and Shi Lei were using high-powered telescopes to observe the situation on the riverbank.
Chen Xiao didn't expect that this Jin Zhengxi was already over eighty years old. He looked at most forty years old. He didn't know if he had had plastic surgery to look so young, or if he had taken some special medicine.
"Jin Zhengxi, my daughter died in the hands of your Jin family, and you still expect me to cooperate with you?"
Kuraki Kazuo clenched his sword hilt and spat at Jin Zhengxi, "Don't dream, not only will I not cooperate with you, but I will also kill you!"
"Axi!"
Jin Zhengxi scratched the back of his head impatiently, "Kuraki Kazuo, you bastard, anyway, your daughter is already dead, what difference does it make who killed her? With your good health, you can just have another one!"
"Baga yarou!"
Kuraki Kazuo shouted angrily.
Jin Zhengxi said lightly, "You bastard, don't forget what your purpose is, and don't forget who our common enemy is. You cooperate with me to kill this Chen bastard first, and the grievances between us can be resolved later!"
When Kuraki Kazuo heard this, he pondered for a while. After a moment, he snorted coldly, but reached a consensus with Jin Zhengxi.
"Chen-san, I'm sorry, it seems I can't have a one-on-one duel with you, because you must die today!"
Kuraki Kazuo said hypocritically, as if he had ever thought about fighting Chen Xiao one-on-one before.
Liu Yu secretly cried out that something was wrong: "If it's just dealing with one S-class ability user, I think Mr. Chen has a sure chance of winning, but two..."
Before she could finish her words, Chen Xiao's voice came from the headset.
"Hey, even if you look down on me, don't say it out loud, I can hear what you're saying."
Liu Yu was immediately embarrassed and apologized to Chen Xiao, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I saw that the other party had two S-class ability users, and I was a little anxious for a while, please forgive me..."
"Two?"
Chen Xiao's mouth turned up, and he said quietly, "They are more than just two!"
"What? More than two?"
Liu Yu was stunned when she heard this.
But Chen Xiao shouted towards the river, "Since you're already here, why are you still hiding in the water and not showing yourself? Are you pretending to be a turtle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the middle of the river...
