Chen Xiao thought for a moment and finally said, "Uncle Gu, then I'll try to make some time these days. If you feel it's about to flare up, come find me quickly, and I'll help you suppress it."

Gu Zhendong shook his head with a wry smile, "This is just a temporary solution."

Chen Xiao laughed, "At least it can alleviate some of the pain. It'll be fine once we completely tame it."

Gu Zhendong sighed deeply, "Tame it? It's not that easy. I've been trying for twenty years without success. Chen Xiao, why don't I give it to you? You're so strong, maybe you can tame it!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao was slightly stunned.

Gu Zhendong was right. If he gave the Di Sha Ling Mang (Earthly Fiend Spiritual Python) to Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao could really tame it.

And it would be very easy, because of the existence of Divine Sense, he wouldn't even need to use the spiritual energy in his body.

But if he did that, Gu Zhendong's efforts and suffering over the past twenty years would all be in vain.

So Chen Xiao firmly shook his head, "Uncle Gu, as you said, you've already been doing this for twenty years. Maybe the light of victory is just around the corner. If you give up now, all your efforts will be in vain. The last leg of a hundred-mile journey is the hardest. Just persevere."

"And if you can tame this Di Sha Ling Mang, your strength will definitely improve qualitatively. That would also mean I have a powerful helper, which is much better than me taming the Di Sha Ling Mang myself."

Chen Xiao appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him. After talking for a long time, Gu Zhendong finally nodded, "Alright, then I'll try again. Damn it, I don't believe I can't beat this beast!"

Strictly speaking, the Di Sha Ling Mang wasn't really a beast.

But seeing Gu Zhendong rekindle his fighting spirit, Chen Xiao was also happy for him.

Afterwards, Chen Xiao went back to his room to sleep.

The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Chen Xiao got up and went to the restaurant with Gu Zhendong for breakfast.

While they were eating, a waiter in work clothes walked into the restaurant and shouted loudly, "Is Mr. Chen Xiao in the restaurant? Which one is Mr. Chen Xiao?"

Chen Xiao walked over and asked, "I'm Chen Xiao, what do you need?"

The waiter politely said, "Hello Mr. Chen, someone outside the hotel is looking for you. I went to your room to knock, but no one was there, so I came to the restaurant to take a look. I didn't expect you to really be here."

"It's like this, a few people have come to the lobby downstairs, saying they want to see you. If it's convenient for you, please go out for a bit."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao wasn't surprised. He even guessed who had come to find him. After all, he had broken the legs of a local tyrant last night, so the other party would definitely not let it go.

He nodded and said to the waiter, "Okay, take me there."

As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, a resonant voice came from outside the restaurant.

"No need, we're already here!"

Along with this voice, a middle-aged man walked in, followed by several people.

Chen Xiao glanced at them and saw that each of them, including the middle-aged man, was a Qi Realm martial artist.

The middle-aged man looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "So, you must be Jiangbei's Boss Chen."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly and said calmly, "That's right, I'm Chen Xiao. Who are you?"

The middle-aged man said, "I heard that you injured my disciple yesterday and broke his legs!"

Chen Xiao smiled disdainfully, "You're talking about Xia Shanbao, right? That's right, I did break his legs, but that was because we had an agreement beforehand. He lost the fight and suffered the punishment he deserved, nothing more!"

Ding Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, "What you said is true, but in Qingcheng, no one dares to touch anyone of mine, Ding Yi, the Seven-Word Lightning Sword!"

The waiter next to him heard this and quickly ran away in fright.

The Seven-Word Lightning Sword was very famous locally, and even more so for his notorious reputation. Otherwise, the waiter wouldn't have run so fast.

Seven-Word Lightning Sword? Sounds quite impressive.

It was a pity that a Qi Realm martial artist wasn't worthy of Chen Xiao's respect.

He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Ding, your tone is so heavy, your stomach fire must be very strong recently. Coincidentally, I'm a doctor and can prescribe some medicine for you to help you regulate it."

As soon as Chen Xiao said this, it immediately caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding people.

But Ding Yi swept his cold gaze over, and they were all so frightened that they closed their mouths and lowered their heads to eat.

"Hmph, boy, do you think I'm joking with you? No matter how impressive you, Jiangbei's Boss Chen, are, that's only in Jiangbei. In my Qingcheng, I won't allow you to run wild!"

Ding Yi snorted angrily, his arrogance was extreme.

Chen Xiao was already a little annoyed by being disturbed while eating, and Ding Yi's pretentious appearance made him even more impatient.

"What exactly do you want? Just make your intentions clear, and we'll resolve it however we should. No one wants to listen to you pretending here so early in the morning!"

Ding Yi was stunned. Why wasn't this kid following the script?

"Alright, since you want to make your intentions clear, then we'll make our intentions clear. Do you dare to fight me? If I win, you hand over that spiritual weapon to me. If I lose, you can do whatever you want!"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I thought you were just standing up for your disciple. Turns out you're still after the spiritual weapon on me. Fine, since you want to fight, then let's fight. Just treat it as morning exercise!"

"Very good!"

Ding Yi shouted sharply, and then drew a soft sword from his waist.

The soft sword was about three feet long, the blade was flexible, but the edge was sharp and gleamed with a cold light. It was obviously a treasure sword!

"Boy, take my sword!"

Ding Yi shouted, and the soft sword pierced towards Chen Xiao like a silver snake flicking its tongue.

Swish—

Silver light flashed, and sword energy overflowed!

Ding Yi was worthy of the reputation of the Seven-Word Lightning Sword. He wielded the soft sword extremely well. His sword strikes were extremely fast, and combined with the flexible blade, he created countless sword lights.

The sword light carried the sound of tearing through the air, enveloping Chen Xiao completely, airtight, waiting for a chance for a fatal blow.

Even Gu Zhendong couldn't help but loudly remind him, "Be careful, Chen Xiao!"

Looking at Chen Xiao again, he lazily yawned, this lazy appearance showed that he completely didn't take his opponent seriously.

Ding Yi was so angry, "Boy, you dare to underestimate me, die!"

Ding Yi originally wanted to find Chen Xiao's weakness and then kill him with one strike.

But Chen Xiao was full of weaknesses, and he didn't know where to strike, so he hadn't made a move yet.

Now seeing Chen Xiao look down on him so much, he was immediately enraged, and the sword tip went straight for his heart.

Just as the soft sword was less than a centimeter away from Chen Xiao's heart, Chen Xiao finally made his move. He moved extremely fast, even faster than the Seven-Word Lightning Sword.

There was a 'ding' sound, and the soft sword was caught between Chen Xiao's two fingers!
