The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 179

Felix was rather taken aback to hear the man's claims, but that was just about it. After all, Xena couldn't have conjured all her fighting skills out of thin air. She had to have had a mentor or at least a sect from where she trained and learned them.

Felix figured the man had to be telling at least 80% of the truth. Xena's status now was anything but ordinary. None of the sects would ever dare to crack a joke in her name like this unless they were from an extremely powerful one. The repercussions could be terrible if anyone else found out.

Thinking that Felix must be shocked, the middle-aged man turned cocky and said, "Now that you're scared, you'd better hand over that snakefruit to me. It will only be a waste for you to take it away."

Felix shook his head. "I'm not giving you the snakefruit, ever. It's still the same thing for me. I'm not in the mood for bloodshed today, so leave now."

The next second, the man suddenly released his aura into the air. It was so powerful that the earth began to shake.

"You brat! Since you don't know what's good for you, let me teach you a good lesson today!

His voice dripped with murderous intent. Of course, Felix didn't back down anymore either. After a few exchanges, the man's lifeless form lay unmoving on the ground.

Felix didn't leave after killing the man. Instead, he turned toward the woods in the back and said, "Done watching? Are you going to come out, or do I have to come and get you myself?"

A few seconds later, an old man came out, coughing non-stop. "Ah, I'm just a passer-by. I saw nothing!"
