Chapter 161: Life and Death Battle, Dare to Fight?
Yan Chong’s head was thrown out by Yun Yi, which served as the best explanation. Yan Chong had definitely gone to Jade Wheel City and must have attacked Yun Yi; otherwise, how could he have been killed by Yun Yi?
Moreover, Yan Chong had no grudge or hatred towards Yun Yi, so he had no reason to risk going against the young lady’s orders to go to Jade Wheel City and kill Yun Yi. It simply didn’t make sense.
The only explanation is that he was entrusted by someone, and looking at the entire Yanwu family, the only ones who wanted to kill Yun Yi in Jade Wheel City, aside from the Yuan family grandfather and grandson, would be hard to find.
Coincidentally, Yuan Yin had a good relationship with Yan Chong, making this simple evidence enough to explain everything.
What really surprised people was that Yun Yi actually killed Yan Chong.
It should be noted that Yan Chong was not so easy to kill. Not only was he skilled at using poison, which was very sneaky, but his Wind Spirit Body gave him unmatched speed. Even if he couldn’t defeat Yun Yi, escaping would still have been easy. The fact that Yan Chong couldn’t even escape showed how terrifying Yun Yi was.
On the other side, Yuan Yin’s face instantly became very ugly. His eyes widened as he stared fixedly at Yan Chong’s head on the ground, filled with disbelief.
Seeing Yun Yi come back alive, he thought of many reasons for Yan Chong’s failure, but he never considered that Yan Chong had died at Yun Yi’s hands. This outcome was a huge blow to Yuan Yin.
Xiao Ruoshui did not speak, but her gaze was cold. It was clear that this young lady was very angry. The actions of the Yuan family showed no respect for her authority or dignity.
“Young lady, Yan Chong’s death does not mean that Ying Er sent him to Jade Wheel City. There must be more to this situation. After all, there is no direct evidence linking this matter to Ying Er. Yun Yi is arrogant and domineering; who knows how many people he has offended in secret? Yan Chong was skilled in poison and quite ruthless, so it would not be surprising if he wanted to kill Yun Yi himself.”
Seeing Xiao Ruoshui angry, Yuan Zhongshan quickly spoke up.
Yuan Yin was still young, and he was afraid that seeing Yan Chong’s head would disturb him, leading him to admit his connection with Yan Chong. If that happened, things would become difficult.
Therefore, Yuan Zhongshan had to step forward and speak, standing in front of Yuan Yin. No matter what, he could not let Yuan Yin admit any connection to this matter. After all, Yan Chong was already dead, and there were no witnesses.
“Haha, old fox, I, Yun Yi, don’t need any solid evidence today to settle the score. You know what you did, and I know it too. That’s enough. I will take care of my own revenge without needing the young lady to decide for me.”
Yun Yi laughed heartily. This scene was exactly as he had expected. He revealed Yan Chong’s head not to find proof but to let Xiao Ruoshui and everyone see, helping them understand. Just like now, no matter how Yuan Zhongshan tried to defend himself, everyone already believed that this matter involved Yuan Yin.
Yuan Yin, after all, did not have the same depth as Yuan Zhongshan. The expression he showed upon seeing Yan Chong’s head had already betrayed him and revealed everything.
Yun Yi did not plan to provide solid proof. He did not need solid proof or someone else to decide for him. His matters were for him to handle.
“Yuan Yin, don’t you want to kill me to take revenge for your brother? I’ll give you a chance right now to settle our feud. Today, in front of the young lady, let’s have a fight to the death. Life and death are decided by fate; wealth is determined by heaven. Do you dare?”
Yun Yi took action directly, refusing to waste words. He must eliminate Yuan Yin today.
The mention of a fight to the death reignited the atmosphere, and the people finally understood that Yun Yi wanted to take down Yuan Yin himself.
If Yun Yi had come to challenge Yuan Yin before, it would have been suicidal. But now, it was different; Yun Yi’s skills had reached the sixth grade of the Innate Realm, and even Pan Hong and Yan Chong had fallen to him. Yuan Yin’s skills, though at the peak of the eighth grade of the Innate Realm, had not yet reached the ninth grade.
Although Yuan Yin’s skills were still two levels higher than Yun Yi’s, everyone who had witnessed Yun Yi’s power knew he was extraordinary. Defeating enemies two levels above him was not a big deal. If Yuan Yin accepted the challenge, he would surely die.
“Do you think Yuan Yin dares to accept the challenge?”
“There’s an 80% chance he won’t dare; with his current skills, he’s likely unable to defeat Yun Yi.”
“This will be a good show. If Yuan Yin is too scared to fight back when someone challenges him, how will he survive in the Yanwu family? He will lose all his face.”
…
Voices of discussion rose around, and all eyes turned to Yuan Yin at the same time. Under so many gazes, Yuan Yin’s face turned even darker, and he found himself in a difficult position.
Xiao Ruoshui did not speak; she already understood the situation. Yun Yi’s choice to handle it himself was the best way, as it saved her from being put in a tough spot without solid proof.
Moreover, if there was to be a life-and-death battle between disciples, as long as both sides agreed, even the clan leader would not interfere. The life-and-death battle had always been a way for deeply feuding disciples to settle their grudges.
“Yuan Yin, do you dare to fight in a life-and-death battle?”
Yun Yi shouted loudly, his power pressing directly towards Yuan Yin.
Yuan Yin became furious, and a powerful spiritual energy began to surge from within him. With Yun Yi forcing him in front of so many people, he could not remain indifferent.
“Ying’er, don’t be reckless. You are not his match.”
Yuan Zhongshan quickly grabbed Yuan Yin, afraid that the young man would act on impulse.
“Ha ha, Yuan Yin, you want to get rid of me, and now I give you the chance, but you act like a coward. What a disappointment! Don’t you want to avenge your brother? I was the one who defeated your brother. If you don’t even have the courage to fight your enemy, then what kind of man are you? Since you don’t dare to fight, in the future, when you see me, Yun Yi, just go around and be a good coward.”
Yun Yi laughed loudly, his words full of mockery.
“Not good.”
Yuan Zhongshan thought to himself that this was not good; now that Yun Yi had said those words, he knew it was the end. He secretly scolded Yun Yi for being so young yet so cunning. With such provocation, Yuan Yin had no way to back down.
“Yun Yi, how dare you insult me like this? I, Yuan Yin, will not let this go. Well, since you want a life-and-death battle, I will fight you. I want to see if you really have three heads and six arms.”
Indeed, Yuan Yin could not withstand the provocation and angrily shouted.
He had no way to retreat; Yun Yi had cornered him into having to fight.
