Chapter 374: The First Direct Confrontation
Over the course of several days, Chen Futu did not deliberately reveal Xiaobai's cultivation level, intending to use her as a trump card. Even Diaochan could not see through her situation, only thinking that the king had kindly adopted a lonely and helpless girl. Therefore, he took Xiaobai with him no matter what he did and treated her very well.
Xiao Bai also adored Diao Chan, sticking to her all day long and calling her "Fairy Sister" repeatedly.
She was thoroughly reformed by Diao Chan, and her runny nose stopped. Apart from her eyes looking like those of a very intelligent person, almost no one would doubt her identity.
One day, Diao Chan went to the pleasure boat, and Chen Futu took Xiao Bai back to the royal court to inquire about official business. At dinner time, A Ke returned to report.
Seeing that Xiaobai was wolfing down her food without any manners, she asked, "Your Majesty, who is this woman? Why does she seem a little abnormal?"
Little White, who was wolfing down her food, paused for a moment and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Silly Auntie is very smart. You're not allowed to call Silly Auntie a fool anymore. Silly Auntie has a name, Little White."
"You've already said you're a silly girl, so why don't you say you're not a fool?" Ake said casually.
Bang! Xiaobai slammed her hand on the table, angrily saying, "I told you not to call me 'Silly Girl' or 'Silly Child,' you have to call me Xiaobai, or I'll hit you!"
"Hey, not very old but has quite a temper."
Ake smiled helplessly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Bai said to Chen Futu with dissatisfaction, "If she doesn't apologize to Silly Girl, Silly Girl will beat her up!"
Chen Futu said half-jokingly, "She's disappeared, how can you fight her? Eat well, and I'll send you back to the fairy sister later."
"Hmph, just because big brother can't see her doesn't mean silly girl can't. Silly girl doesn't like what she says, so she's going to hit her!"
"Alright, let's see how you fight."
Ake is now a Saint, and her ability to conceal herself is even stronger, so there's no way Shagu could see her.
However, what happened the next second left Chen Futu speechless. The simple-minded girl suddenly rushed to the window and punched the air. The punch seemed ordinary, but a surge of frenzied energy erupted from her fist, creating a shockwave. Ake let out a muffled groan. Her figure was suddenly sent flying hundreds of meters, filling the room with smoke and smashing the walls.
Startled, Chen Futu rushed over and saw that the once peaceful royal courtyard looked as if it had been swept by a plow, with a crack a hundred meters long appearing in the distance, and Ake lying there, her life hanging in the balance.
"Xiaobai, what have you done!"
Chen Futu shouted and rushed out to check on Ake's condition.
Ake was found lying unconscious against the wall, blood still flowing from her mouth, indicating severe internal injuries.
Without a second thought, Chen Futu quickly stuffed a Creation Pill into her mouth, and her weak breath gradually returned to normal.
Xiao Bai stood to the side, fidgeting like a child who had done something wrong, muttering to herself, "Silly Auntie didn't use much force..."
Chen Futu stared wide-eyed at the ruins in the courtyard. "You call this not much effort?"
If I use my full strength, can I send Longcheng flying with one punch?
After listening, Xiaobai thought for a moment with her fingers in her mouth, then nodded seriously, "Yes, Silly Girl can do it."
"Thank you so much. You can go back to your meal now. Remember, don't lay a hand on me without my orders, understand?"
"Oh, silly girl knows."
Xiao Bai ran back to her room and continued to eat and drink to her heart's content, completely carefree.
Dian Wei then arrived with a large number of elite guards, and everyone stared in disbelief at the terrifying terrain.
Chen Futu could only make up an excuse, saying that Ake had gone mad while cultivating.
Dian Wei didn't ask any further questions and instead asked the Ministry of Works to send people to repair the villa.
In the dead of night, Ake slowly woke up. The Creation Pill had repaired her damaged meridians, and although she was now healed, the memory of Xiaobai's punch still made her hair stand on end. "Your Majesty, where did you find such a master?"
"She was homeless, and I adopted her by chance. But no one else knows how strong she is. Keep it a secret. She is a powerful weapon that will give the Asura Palace a hard time."
Chen Futu smiled and explained the reason.
Ake remained silent for a long time.
The king is ruthless. If the Asura Palace knew about that silly girl's strength, they would probably pack their valuables and flee overseas overnight!
Xiaobai is a monster; he can no longer be called human.
In fact, Chen Futu wouldn't use Xiaobai casually. She's too unpredictable, so it's best to let her sleep unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, she might get upset one day and cause chaos in Longcheng.
Furthermore, considering Xiaobai's strength within the entire Martial Arts Continent, he should be considered a master.
Several more days passed in the blink of an eye, and more and more martial arts practitioners gathered around Dragon City, filling up all the inns in the nearby development zone.
To outsiders, if Longcheng can survive this ordeal, it will be qualified to contend for supremacy; otherwise, all the talk will be in vain.
"Your Majesty, we have discovered the whereabouts of the Asura Palace's powerful members. They have entered the Northern Mountain Range and are heading towards the Xuan Water. Furthermore, Liu Bainian, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Region of the Great Qian, personally welcomed the Asura Palace's group."
A message was sent back by the Imperial Guards.
Chen Futu immediately ordered martial law to be declared in Longcheng and informed the people that they should not go out at will.
Then Chen Futu led a group of civil and military officials out of Longcheng. He was not accompanied by an army, but only disciples from Zhongnan Mountain, Tianji Tower, and the painted boat, about several hundred strong people.
This time, the northern frontier truly revealed its full potential.
Countless martial artists were already waiting near Mount Dading, the battlefield personally chosen by Chen Futu. The area was vast and ideal for fierce fighting.
Dian Wei led his men to set up camp, and then Qin Liangyu led the White Spear Army to arrive. The southern army was temporarily commanded by Li Huaifeng, who set up defenses along the way and closely monitored the northern mountain range to prevent a sneak attack.
While they waited, the martial arts world opened betting odds, with people placing high bets on the outcome of the match.
The man in green asked, "Are you really not worried at all about being defeated?"
Chen Futu laughed and said, "What's the use of worrying? The Asura Palace is coming with great force. Do you think they will back down just because we are afraid?"
"Your Majesty is right. The Ancient Palace, relying on its own power, never puts anyone in its eyes. The dynasty is just a plaything for them. If we cannot defeat the Asura Palace this time, the Northern Frontier will completely lose its capital to contend for the world's supremacy."
Ji Wuchen saw things clearly. He had dealt with the ancient palace before and knew how ruthless and brutal those people were. Now, there was no other way but to fight.
As the Shura Palace forces approached, Diao Chan and the others' smiles gradually faded. Their fearlessness did not mean they would not be injured in the battle.
Only Xiao Bai was an optimist, wandering around the camp all day with a roast chicken in his hand. He even became friends with Dian Wei. The two simpletons together made quite a lively scene.
"Chen Futu, come out and face your death!"
A day later, a resounding shout echoed throughout Mount Dading, drawing the attention of everyone in the martial arts world.
The Asura Palace group arrived. Hundreds of people came, all with strong auras. At the front were the Asura Palace Master and several guardian elders, all of whom were saints.
