(A/N in the last chapter I forgot to say the meaning of Ye in the Ye Hall. The Ye means Savage.)

A mass of people made their way toward the eastern side of the Chi clan mansion, the mass of people were guided by two people. One was a crow faced sinister man. The other was a dignified and frail young man.

On their way toward the Ye Hall several curious disciples of the Chi clan joined the mass. Other disciples instead started going around the Chi clan mansion informing their friends and family members about the duel in the Ye Hall. Normally there wouldn't be so much commotion about a duel in the Ye Hall but today one of the duel participant was the famous trash of the Chi clan, would they lose the opportunity to laugh at the patriarch son? Who knows if they would have a second chance to ridicule the patriarch family. The patriarch family only weakness was Chi Lang. One son was a genius, although not the strongest but he was the one with the most potential, the eldest daughter was an inner disciple of the Floating Cloud Palace while the younger daughter had talent second only to her elder brother. The youngest brother was only ten years old but had been selected as a disciple of the Northern Heaven Forge to become a Forge Master. In this family of geniuses the only weak point was the trash Chi Lang. Although Chi Lang talent was very bad, there were still other in the Chi Lang whose talent was even worse. But those trash weren't the sons of anyone important so why would anyone bother with them when there is someone more important to importune?

Obviously to anyone present this wasn't a duel, it was a beating. How can a trash with 900 Jin of martial prowess win against brother Geng Sha who had 1700 Jin of martial prowess? He was simply courting death! Brother Geng Sha power was almost the double of the trash!

But unexpectedly Chi Lang face was serene and calm, he was the most tranquil one among them. For Chi Lang brother Geng Sha was simply a stepping stone, his objective was to stand at the top of the world, how could a mere Geng Sha be a problem to him? For the him who lived two lives directly and lived thousands of extraordinary lives indirectly killing Geng Sha twelve times in a row was simple. Could Geng Sha compare to the two headed hell serpent killed by the emperor of the Han dynasty? Could he compare to the world devouring lion killed by the medicine saint Ron. Or could he compare to the other countless monsters killed in his memories? The one courting death wasn't Chi Lang, it was Geng Sha!

After passing through a fifteen feet high double door, a space of at least five hundred feet of diameter was in front of them. On three sides of the circumference was a wall that supported the one hundred and fifty feet high ceiling and on the side where the massive door opened were countless seating positions, the seating positions were adorned with luxurious red fabric. The floor and the walls were also red, if someone who didn't know of the Ye Hall saw it, they would think that this was a first rate theatre where only the most beautiful dancers danced and where only the most beautiful stories were song.

The Ye Hall was a separated building that was located in the central area of the Chi clan mansion, so when Chi Lang and the other disciples arrived the seatings were already full with people, not only there were disciples there were also a lot of elders. It's known that there are other two factions apart from the patriarch faction so it's probable that the elders were here to use this duel as an excuse to attack Chi Lao Ron. The first faction that opposed Chi Lao Ron was that of elder Hen. Elder Hen was opposed to Chi Lao Ron from the time became the patriarch. Elder Hen never had the desire to rule over the Chi clan. The motivation as to why would he oppose Chi Lao Ron was that elder Hen was the sworn brother of the previous patriarch Chi Hongpa, this was also the motif as to why Chi Lao Ron didn't take any measure against him. He wanted to redeem as much as possible. If only they didn't have this discord then they could become good allies, one was a wise and charismatic leader and the other was a loyal and powerful elder. It was like putting wings on a tiger.

The second faction was that of Chi Hunzhang. Chi Hunzhang being the bastard elder brother of Chi Lao Ron, always wanted to become the patriarch of the Chi clan but he couldn't because he was the son of a maid, his position in the line to the seat of the Patriarch was bellow his brother. His motives weren't as pure as elder Hen, he simply was power thirsty and wanted more power than anyone. The more the better.

When Chi Lang and brother Geng Sha went to the their place, Chi Lang turned to the crowd and smiled mysteriously.

"I, Chi Lang, ask the esteemed elder and fellow disciple brothers and sisters to be a witness to the duel between this Lang and that Geng Sha. Our dispute can't be resolved by pacific means, only death can resolve it. I also ask that no one interferes in this duel even if one of us was to die."

The hall fell into silence. It made one wonder, did Chi Lang become a fool? At least before he was wise and didn't challenge anyone. But now even his intelligence was last!

What a disgrace!

Why was Chi Lang trying to die so hard? But it's all good. If Chi Lang died then they would use this as an excuse to attack the Patriarch saying that he was mentally unstable because of the death of his son thus incapable of guiding the Chi clan. The sorrow of one can benefit another. This world was cruel to the less ambitious.

"Hahaha, as expected of Patriarch Ron son, fearless and indomitable! I Chi Hunzhang swear by the gods that if someone would step in, I would do anything in my power to stop him. "

Anyone who had ears to hear could sense the maliciousnees in Chi Hunzhang words. They could see his plan clearly but no intervened because this would benefit a lot of people here.

BANG

"Hunzhang, what do you think are you doing?! So malicious! Overbearing! To think you would take action so directly!"

The door opened as if it was hit by lighting. An arrogant and cold voice came from the entrance. A silhouette appeared, arrogant and Noble, Chi Lao Ron stood there and criticized Hunzhang as if he was speaking to a disciple and not to an esteemed elder.

"Father, no need to worry. Please have faith in your son! "

Chi Lao Ron was about to rebuke but then saw the look in Chi Lang eyes, decise and calm. Chi Lao Ron decided to stop what he was about to say. But the hate toward Chi Hunzhang didn't lessen instead it burned more and more. His hand trembled and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

Chi Lao Ron went toward the majestic throne in the middle of the upper seating area and sat down. His eyes calm and collected swept on everyone there. Everyone apart some more powerful elders had cold sweat wetting their backs.

"You can start"

Again the cold voice of Chi Lao Ron woke everyone up. Chi Lang turned toward Geng Sha and looked at him. On his face a beautiful smile was. It was surreal and unrealistic, truly a masterpiece. It made one pity him, how could someone so beautiful be a trash? Indeed the heaven doesn't give two gift to the same person!

"Brother Geng Sha can start. "

"Brother your sister! Today I will teach respect for the older or my name shall become Hundan!"

(A/N Hundan means a**hole)

Chi Lang expression didn't change instead he looked at him as if he was looking forward this duel. This made Geng Sha more infuriated than ever. Geng Sha couldn't take this anymore! How could he waste more time on this piece of trash?

Brother Geng Sha dashed as if he wanted to end this with just a move. His hands formed a Claw that aimed at Chi Lang head. He didn't want to torture him, he just wanted to kill him.

A lot of people with weak hearts closed their eyes while others had their eyes filled with anticipation.  A lot of people were looking forward to see this cruel and Savage spectacle.

Chi Lang smiled and his body bended back as if he was falling.

SWOOSH

The Claw hand passed above Chi Lang with just enough distance to not touch his body. Suddenly Chi Lang right foot bended backwards and his left one pushed back from Geng Sha. In that moment unnoticed by everyone Chi Lang's left hand index finger touched Geng Sha waist on the left side. A faint PLOP could be heard if someone concentrated, but unfortunately no one concentrated on the beating of the trash.

He looked at Geng Sha with slight surprise in his eyes, but that was quickly dissolved. He was surprised because he didn't know that Geng Sha could be so fast. His strength must be more than 1700 Jin.

"Haha, it seems that this little brother was lucky. I fell on the right moment, but can I ask brother Geng Sha to be less malicious? Aiming for the head on the first attack is too much even if it's brother Geng Sha who did it."

Chi Lang said playfully toward Geng Sha with a happy-go-lucky smile on his tiny face. A flash of the coldest light passed through 出Lang eyes, only Chi Lao Ron saw it and was startled. He could fell his back dripping with cold sweat and his body trembling. This was an emotion that he didn't feel from a lot of time.

Fear.

Everyone was astonished.

How could Chi Lang be so lucky?! How could he fall in that precise moment?!

If they knew that Chi Lang did this by his own ability they would certainly be even more astonished.

Chi Lang didn't want to use Descending Dragon Claw or Heavenly Pentagram Punch like before with brother Ben because now there were a lot of elders who could notice that they were Martial Skills. So instead he opted for another method.

"Come. "

Chi Lang said to Geng Sha. But Geng Sha didn't need to ask for his permission. When Chi Lang said 'Come', Geng Sha was already halfway to Chi Lang. His hand again formed a Claw. His nails were long and curved aiming toward Chi Lang chest, where the heart was. It was as if a crow descended on a rabbit with the objective of trashing it. Chi Lang was the rabbit.

Right before Geng Sha hand touched Chi Lang chest, Chi Lang stepped and stumbled to the left. Before falling, Chi Lang right foot pushed on the ground making Chi Lang do a somersault and distancing himself from Geng Sha. At that moment Chi land right hand moved again with surgical precision and touched a point to the upper left of Geng Sha heart.

PLOP SWOOOSH

Geng Sha hand cut the air covering the sound of Chi Lang's touch.

Chi Lang turned to Geng Sha. His playful expression disappeared and was replaced by a cold and ruthless face. Geng Sha's heart trembled, he started sweating profusely from his front, his hands trembled and his mind started to say.

 "Go away!! Escape from here if you want to live!!"

But it was already over. He knew it but nonetheless tried to move away from his destiny. He wanted to escape. He wanted to live.

The air in hall became extremely tense and massive killing intent fell in the hall. Some disciples fainted, other started crying. The elders trembled and fear was written over their face. Chi Lao Ron, Elder Hen and Chi Hanzhang wanted to say something but didn't manage to move from their seats. The hall was deathly silent.

"Now then, brother Geng Sha. Kneel. "

THUD
