My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Young Master Jiang!"

After landing, Yu Shangwu took the initiative to greet Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and responded, while also glancing behind him.

Behind Yu Shangwu were an elderly man and two young men.

One of the young men had previously accompanied Yu Shangwu to the main hall of the Dragon Tiger Sect, so he had seen him before.

The other person was a stranger.

He was dressed in a black outfit, with a long sword slung across his back, and stood there with an extraordinary air about him.

Moreover... this man was looking at him coldly at that moment.

His expression clearly carried an unfriendly tone.

"Um?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat puzzled.

Did he... offend this person?

He had only been at Longhu Mountain for a few days, and had never even been to Cangfeng Sect.

Why is this guy so hostile towards him?

Perhaps noticing Jiang Xiaobai's gaze, Yu Shangwu turned to the side and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Young Master Jiang, let me introduce you!"

As he spoke, Yu Shangwu first looked at the old man and said, "This is Elder Luo Chuan of our Cangfeng Sect!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded in acknowledgment.

Elder Luochuan smiled and gently cupped his hands towards Jiang Xiaobai.

"You've already met this person; he's my disciple!"

After saying a few words, Yu Shangwu's gaze fell on the man with the sword on his back: "As for this one, his name is Peng Xiao, and he is an outer elder of our Cangfeng Sect!"

"Hehe, don't let his youth fool you, he's already reached the seventh rank!"

"Yeah?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked somewhat surprised after hearing this.

This guy is so young, yet he already has the strength of a seventh-rank cultivator?

Judging from this, his talent is indeed remarkable.

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was curiously observing, Yu Shangwu continued, "This is from the Jiang family..."

"I know!"

Peng Xiao interrupted Yu Shangwu, his gaze still fixed on Jiang Xiaobai, and said, "The young master of the Jiang family!"

"I've heard of your reputation as a good-for-nothing playboy for a long time!"

At this point, a hint of sarcasm appeared on Peng Xiao's lips: "I just didn't expect that someone who only relies on his family background..."

"Peng Xiao!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shangwu's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly reprimanded him.

He still clearly remembered that three days ago in the main hall of the Dragon Tiger Sect, his disciple was slapped away by the Princess for saying just one sentence to Jiang Xiaobai.

By speaking like this at this moment, isn't Peng Xiao just asking for a beating?

But his intervention came too late.

Before Peng Xiao could finish speaking, the eldest princess standing next to Jiang Xiaobai made a move.

With one step, the figure was already in front of Peng Xiao.

Peng Xiao's pupils contracted, and just as he was about to make a move with his right hand, the princess kicked him.

boom!

A muffled sound rang out, and Peng Xiao was sent flying backward.

thump!

Amidst the splashing water, Peng Xiao crashed heavily into the river beside him.

This scene left Elder Luo Chuan and the other young man stunned.

Zhang Xinnian's face had already darkened when he heard Peng Xiao's words.

Seeing the princess throw the man directly into the river, he exclaimed excitedly, "Good, well done!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked on, his expression slightly strange.

I have to say, this woman is really efficient when she gets going!

Whoosh!

Just then, the river surface burst open, and Peng Xiao, soaking wet, was seen rushing out of the water and landing back on the bank.

At this moment, Peng Xiao's hair was plastered to his face, and his clothes were still dripping wet, making him look extremely disheveled.

"You dare touch me!"

Peng Xiao looked at the Princess in disbelief.

He is an outer elder of the Hidden Edge Sect.

Moreover, he reached the seventh rank at a young age. In the entire sect, everyone who saw him had to give him some face.

"Peng Xiao, shut up!"

Yu Shangwu glared at Peng Xiao, then looked awkwardly at the Princess and said, "Well, Peng Xiao is still young, and he's arrogant..."

"Elder Yu, why waste words with her? Hmph, this person attacked without warning, clearly not holding back my strength..."

Peng Xiao said with an angry expression.

Before he could finish speaking, the princess came up to him again and kicked him once more.

Peng Xiao was prepared this time, but even so, he was still sent flying by the astonishing burst of internal force.

Moreover, the princess used much more force this time than before.

Blood spurted from Peng Xiao's mouth as he slid across the ground and crashed heavily into a rock some distance away.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Peng Xiao gritted his teeth and got up, raising his right hand to grab the long sword on his back.

Clang!

As the long sword was drawn, a sharp gust of wind spread out from Peng Xiao's body.

The princess's gaze was cold, and she was just about to make another move when Jiang Xiaobai's voice suddenly rang out: "Brother Chen, absorb his essence!"

"good!"

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Chen Jian also took a step forward and reached out to grab Peng Xiao, shouting, "Star Absorbing Technique!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely strong suction force suddenly opened up.

Just as Peng Xiao was about to swing his knife, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he uncontrollably slid towards Chen Jian.

Peng Xiao's expression changed abruptly as he tried to break free from the suction force.

But Chen Jian took another step forward, and the hand landed on his chest.

hum!

Peng Xiao clearly felt that the internal energy in his body was being continuously drawn out through Chen Jian's palm, as if an outlet had been opened.

One percent, two percent, three percent...

In just a few breaths, more than 70% of his internal energy was gone.

Peng Xiao's long sword trembled violently, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he weakened at a visible speed.

Elder Luo Chuan, standing nearby, was utterly shocked, and his gaze toward Chen Jian completely changed.

What the hell is this martial art?

It's actually possible to forcibly absorb someone else's internal energy?

Yu Shangwu's expression also changed slightly.

Seeing that Peng Xiao's legs were about to give way and he could no longer support himself, Yu Shangwu could only look at Jiang Xiaobai: "Young Master Jiang!"

"Okay, that's fine!"

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand.

After hearing this, Chen Jian withdrew his hand.

The moment the suction force dissipated, Peng Xiao's body went limp, and he knelt on one knee on the ground.

In the end, he managed to prop himself up with his long sword on the ground, which barely prevented him from falling completely.

At this moment, Peng Xiao was panting heavily, his face pale, and when he looked at Chen Jian, his expression was full of horror.

That woman wearing a straw hat was already incredibly powerful.

How come there's such a weirdo as Chen Jian by Jiang Xiaobai's side?

If that had continued, all his internal energy would have been completely drained!

Yu Shangwu visibly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Jian stop, and then glared fiercely at Peng Xiao.

He reminded me twice already.

But this guy just wouldn't listen!

With a sigh, Yu Shangwu looked at Jiang Xiaobai again and said with a wry smile, "Young Master Jiang, Peng Xiao is still young and doesn't understand some of the rules. Please forgive him!"

"If he doesn't understand, let him learn more!!"

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Peng Xiao indifferently and said, "Otherwise, it's easy to lose your life while traveling outside!"

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Peng Xiao's face turned ugly, but he dared not speak again. He could only lean on his long sword and stand there with a sullen face.

"Yes, Young Master Jiang is right!"

Yu Shangwu nodded with a smile, and just as he finished speaking, a whooshing sound came from afar.

"Hehe, I thought I was the first one here!"

Before the person even arrived, the slightly strange laughter could already be heard from afar.

"I never expected... someone could be faster than me!"

The moment the words were spoken, an elderly man with thinning hair, almost bald, landed.

At this moment, the old man noticed something was amiss. After glancing at Peng Xiao, he said, "Oh ho, it's quite lively here. I love a good show!"

"You guys continue!"

"You like lively atmospheres, huh!"

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the old man and said calmly, "Brother Chen, absorb his essence!"
