Chapter 1359 Fire Dragon!
Hun Qingzhi remained silent, instead looking towards the middle-aged man in the Feng Shui master's robe.
The middle-aged man coldly uttered two words: "Draw talismans!"
"Draw talismans?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but say, "Are you sure?"
Drawing talismans, isn't this like beating oneself up?
"Of course, are you scared!"
"Your grandson is scared! Let's compete if you dare!" Chen Xuan said confidently.
"The rules are simple: for the same talisman, whoever draws it better and with greater power within fifteen minutes wins!"
"I agree! Then let's prepare the necessary items."
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, and then Li Er excitedly fetched several items from the treasury. The Hun family was also prepared and brought out their own items.
Yellow paper!
Vermilion ink!
Brush!
The items needed by both sides were exactly the same.
However, Chen Xuan's side went all out, making even Li Er feel a pang of heartache.
The yellow paper they used was thirteen-layered yellow paper, the vermilion ink was a rare vermilion ink found in the world, and the brush was a talisman brush once used by the First Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.
These were all enviable good items, and more importantly, they were rare and hard to come by.
The middle-aged man frowned and then crumpled into a ball.
"You're cheating! Why are you using such good talisman paper? Such good vermilion ink? Such good brushes?" Hun Qingzhi questioned.
Li Er sneered, "Because we have money. Isn't your Hun family called the Nine Gates of Kyoto? If you have the ability, you can prepare them too!"
Hun Qingzhi and the young man in the Zhongshan suit were so angry they were half-dead.
Their Hun family was wealthy, richer than a nation, but in this regard, they were far inferior to the Chen family's foundation.
This was the first time Hun Qingzhi, since his birth, had been treated as a poor nobody.
"It's fine. Although their materials are powerful, I believe my skill can definitely defeat the opponent, and then the opponent will have nothing to say." the middle-aged man said confidently.
"Then I'll trouble Master Kong!"
Hun Qingzhi clasped his fists, his words filled with respect.
Whether they could obtain the business license today and take over the Chen family's business depended entirely on this Master Kong.
"Since Master Kong is so confident, that's great. After all, even though our family is large, we only have one set, so we can't prepare one for you. Then let's begin," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Master Kong was neat and efficient. He raised his hand, dipped the brush into the vermilion ink, and began to draw the talisman.
Dragon soaring, phoenix dancing!
A profound and mysterious power was also channeled into the talisman paper through the brush.
Chen Xuan, however, remained still, observing Master Kong.
The people around were bewildered.
The time to draw a talisman was fifteen minutes. If one wanted to create a very powerful talisman, the time would be very tight, but he was motionless. What was he doing?
Not only the Hun family, but even Li Er was confused. He wanted to remind Chen Xuan to hurry up, but seeing Chen Xuan's confidence, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
"Truly arrogant!"
Master Kong glanced at Chen Xuan and snorted in his heart: The Chen family, as always, is arrogant! You will pay a bloody price for your arrogance!
In Master Kong's view, Chen Xuan was just relying on superior materials to be so arrogant.
But no matter how good your materials are, if your profound techniques are insufficient, even the best materials will be wasted. You must know that better materials require even greater skill to control, otherwise, not only will they not enhance, but they will weaken.
At this moment, Master Kong felt full of confidence.
Soon, Master Kong's drawing of the "Blazing Flame Talisman" was about to conclude, and Chen Xuan finally made his move. He picked up the brush, dipped it in vermilion ink, examined it for a moment, and then, after a moment, his gaze sharpened, and his brush finally moved!
Shuā shuā shuā!
The fifteen minutes also finally arrived!
At the last moment, Master Kong finished drawing the talisman. He put down his brush, not looking at his talisman again, but subconsciously wanting to see if Chen Xuan's talisman was not finished at all.
As he turned his head, Master Kong was instantly dumbfounded.
Chen Xuan's talisman was finished!
How was this possible?
Master Kong lowered his head slightly, examined the talisman paper for a while, and then burst into laughter, mockingly saying, "Kid, your talisman's strokes are shallow. Could it be a废符 (waste talisman)?"
Chen Xuan remained unfazed, his expression calm.
Li Er's expression also changed.
As a member of the Chen family, and managing such a shop, Li Er could naturally see that Chen Xuan's strokes were indeed too shallow. Drawing talismans also required "penetrating the wood," meaning the deeper the brushstrokes, the greater the power that the talisman paper could unleash.
Hun Qingzhi seemed to see something and smiled.
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Let's see who's the real deal. Whose talisman is stronger, and the result will be clear."
"Good! You're tough-mouthed, boy. Today, I'll make you admit defeat willingly!"
Master Kong snorted coldly, grabbed the talisman, and threw it out with force.
The talisman flew through the air as if it had wings, very agile.
Master Kong chanted incantations, and in an instant, the talisman ignited, growing larger and larger, instantly becoming a ball of fire three meters long.
The scorching heat made people dry-mouthed and parched!
"Flame takes form!"
"Master Kong is amazing!" Hun Qingzhi and others applauded.
Li Er's expression was solemn.
Using Master Kong's talisman to make flames take form could be considered pushing it to its limits. If Master Kong were given his own materials, perhaps it would be even stronger.
Upon hearing the praise, Master Kong couldn't help but lift his chin!
His face was full of pride.
"It's nothing special. What's there to be so happy about?"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
"So sour. Aren't you envious, jealous, and hateful?"
Master Kong said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't mock you. After all, you're just a young fellow, how could you possibly achieve what I have?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was stunned.
He saw a fire dragon reflected in his eyes!
He could even faintly hear the roar of a dragon!
This was precisely the talisman drawn by Chen Xuan, also a Blazing Flame Talisman, but in Chen Xuan's hands, the blazing flame had transformed into a lifelike fire dragon. The three-meter-long flame was like a little brother in front of the fire dragon.
Everyone was stunned!
The fire dragon chased Master Kong's ball of flame. The flame seemed to have a life of its own.
Seeing the fire dragon turn and flee, how could the fire dragon let the flame escape? With a sudden acceleration, it opened its mouth and swallowed the flame in one gulp!
A moment later, a burnt talisman paper drifted to Master Kong's feet.
"Disperse!"
Chen Xuan flicked his finger, and the fire dragon instantly disappeared. He looked at Master Kong and asked in a deep voice, "Master Kong, do you have anything else to say?"
Master Kong's expression changed. He clasped his fists and said, "The Chen family has produced another dragon. Such skill at such a young age, I admit defeat! However, you shouldn't be in the capital. If you don't want to perish, you should leave the capital and return to your hometown."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master Kong. I will remember it."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
It seemed that this Master Kong had guessed his identity.
"Hun family, you have lost. A bet is a bet, so get out of here quickly!"
Li Er shouted at Hun Qingzhi and the others.
"Mountains don't turn, rivers flow, we'll meet again another day!"
Hun Qingzhi never expected to lose. There was no other way but to leave with his men.
The bustling Qianmen returned to its former tranquility!
Looking at this scene, Chen Xuan was also taken aback, "They're just leaving?"
According to his understanding, the Hun family should not have given up so easily, and should have made a move directly, but they just left. Was this real?
