Chapter 1 Challenge

Xiao Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw a disheveled young man looking at him with a smile.

Seeing who it was, Xiao Li’s furrowed brow immediately relaxed, and he smiled slightly, "Oh, it's Uncle Duan. Why are you here?"

This scruffy young man was none other than Nan Feng, the Martial Madman Duan San, who was as famous as his father.

Duan San laughed heartily, "My purpose here is the same as yours!"

"You, you're also here to challenge Mr. Chen?"

Hearing this, Xiao Li was immediately stunned.

Duan San nodded slightly, and said with an arrogant expression, "I personally witnessed the battle between Chen Xiao and Tu Junhou that day. That man was known as the number one magic master in Hong Kong, but he was cut down by Chen Xiao with a single sword. This scene deeply stimulated my martial arts heart. After returning home, I lost my appetite and couldn't sleep, living in fear every day. Finally, a week ago, I broke through the shackles and reached the Divine Realm of martial arts..."

Divine Realm?!

Xiao Li was immediately shocked. As a martial artist, he naturally knew how difficult it was to break through to the Divine Realm.

Even his father, a genius of his generation, didn't break through to the Divine Realm until he was forty-three.

And Uncle Duan, if he remembered correctly, was only thirty-nine this year, a full four years earlier than his father.

Xiao Li gasped, thinking to himself that he truly deserved to be called the Martial Madman.

This person was already extremely talented, and he devoted all his energy to martial arts.

His achievements today were both a testament to his talent and a reward for his hard work.

"I was able to break through to the Divine Realm entirely because of the stimulation Chen Xiao gave me, so after breaking through, I immediately rushed over to thank him!"

Song Anran was confused by Duan San's words. She asked blankly, "So are you here to thank Chen Xiao or to challenge him?"

Duan San smiled heartily and said, "I guess for Chen Xiao, defeating him is the best way to thank him!"

"..."

Everyone was speechless, and Chen Xiao's forehead was covered in black lines.

Did I ever say anything like that? Don't make wild guesses, okay?

Duan San's thought process was obviously different from normal people, otherwise, why would he be called the Martial Madman!

"So Chen Xiao, please accept my challenge, let's have a showdown!"

Duan San said resolutely.

But Chen Xiao's eyes were a little dazed.

Duan San frowned and leaned over to ask, "Chen Xiao, what are you thinking about?"

"Get out of the way."

Chen Xiao pushed him away and stared unblinkingly behind him.

Duan San scratched his head and looked back as well. He wanted to know what was attracting Chen Xiao's attention so much.

Behind him was a television hanging on the wall, and the screen was only showing a news report.

"An emergency occurred at Jiangcheng Third Middle School. There's a snake infestation. Relevant departments have dispatched professionals to carry out rescue operations. Please rest assured, citizens, we will do our best to ensure the safety of every student..."

The host's voice came from the television, and Duan San scratched his head again, his face full of suspicion.

Just a snake infestation, could that be more interesting than fighting me?

But Chen Xiao had already stood up, "I have to go, my disciple is in that school!"

Jiangcheng Third Middle School was the school Gu Yutong attended!

As he spoke, Chen Xiao strode out.

"Hey? You have a disciple? Chen Xiao, wait for me!"

"Mr. Chen, the words on my face..."

Duan San and Xiao Li immediately chased after him.

Song Anran shouted, "Hey, the stairs are over here!"

The stairs were indeed on the other side, and Chen Xiao knew that.

However, he had no intention of taking the stairs at all.

Seeing Chen Xiao walking towards the window, Duan San and Xiao Li immediately understood Chen Xiao's intention.

"Well, going out the window can save a lot of time... It's only the third floor, no big deal!"

Duan San said casually.

However, when Chen Xiao came to the window, summoned the Yitian Sword, and flew away, Duan San and Xiao Li could only stare at each other in dismay.

"Third Uncle, what do we do now?"

Xiao Li asked blankly. He had no problem jumping off the building, but he really couldn't fly with a sword!

"What can we do? Jump down, there are so many people watching, a real man can't turn back..."

Before he could finish speaking, Duan San had already jumped down.

Xiao Li had no choice but to jump down after him.

At the same time, at Jiangcheng Third Middle School, the snake infestation had reached a terrifying level.

Relevant departments had indeed sent snake catchers, but compared to the number of snakes, these snake catchers were just a drop in the bucket.

Thousands upon thousands of snakes, like a tide, were pouring into the school from all directions.

Perhaps, there were more than just thousands upon thousands!

King cobras, silver ring snakes, red-banded kraits, bamboo vipers, reticulated pythons, golden pythons, black-bellied swamp snakes, black mambas, and so on and so forth...

Not to mention the quantity, even the variety was dazzling and countless.

Seeing the scene before them, all the snake catchers were helpless.

They couldn't figure out where all these snakes came from, because there weren't so many species of snakes in Jiangcheng.

Moreover, they were all gathered together, heading towards the school as if they had a purpose. This was too unbelievable.

All the members of the Evil Exorcism Division had arrived. Luo Qian was so scared that her face turned pale. From childhood to adulthood, the animal she feared the most was snakes.

But thinking of her responsibilities, and that the students in the school might be even more afraid than her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

Chi Hao beside her was full of excitement, and under the mask, he was constantly licking his lips, "I heard that snakes are cold-blooded animals, so if I drink their blood, does that mean I'm drinking cold drinks?"

"Pervert..."

Luo Qian gave him a white eye.

After saying that, she resolutely walked into the snake swarm and charged towards the teaching building.

Their primary mission was to rescue the students trapped in the teaching building.

But soon, she realized that she had underestimated the lethality of this group of snakes.

Although she was wearing a thick protective suit, when countless snakes wrapped around her legs and body, she really couldn't move an inch.

Not only could she not move, but her life was also in danger at any time.

Although Chi Hao was frantically helping her remove the snakes from her body, there was no end to the snakes rushing forward one after another.

"Chi Hao, am I, am I going to die here..."

Luo Qian asked with a sob.

"No, if it really doesn't work, I'll bite you and turn you into a vampire too, then these bugs won't be able to do anything to you!"

Chi Hao said while desperately driving away the snakes, taking the time to speak.

"That's a good idea... The only problem is that you don't have the ability to transform at all."

Luo Qian said weakly with a wry smile on her face.

But just then, a yellow talisman suddenly flew over and exploded with a flash of green light in the snake swarm.

With a flash of green light, the snakes suddenly retreated, giving way to a small path.

A middle-aged man with a firm face walked along this path...
