Chapter 55: Resistance (2/2)
Of course not. Even though Ye and Lin families could not get along, they didn’t have any major grudges beyond their rivalry. If Lin Yan had really caused Ye Wuchen to be handicapped or even to cause him to die, then there will be absolute irreconcilable hatred between these two families. The Ye family would take their revenge against Lin by all means, and there’ll be no such bullshit regarding there being a bet. What kind of bet would cost them their son. Moreover, people would criticize Lin family for being cruel, and they wouldn’t say anything wrong against the Ye family.
Lin Yan at most only wanted to injure Ye Wuchen, possibly cause him to be confined on a bed for a month or two to vent out the accumulated anger within his own heart. This way, people wouldn’t blame it on the Lin family, and would only mock Ye Wuchen for overestimating his own powers - and to go so far as to make bets with a person with Heaven Level powers without knowing the background of his opponent. To get what he deserved for the injury - one could not blan Lin Yan for delivering this. Also, Ye family would not be able to seek any vengeance afterwards, at least regarding the outcome of the yet.
Furthermore, Long Yin’s words just a few moments ago were aimed at persuading Ye Wuchen not to do anything stupid and for him to concede to save himself which should have given enough of a hint to dissuade him.
On the side of the audience, Hua Shuirou and a majority of the people began to be anxious. She pulled Huan Zhentian’s clothes and said in a low-voice: “Daddy, will something bad happen to him? Looks like the old Ye Ye is more powerful.”
TN: Ye Ye is grandfather
This old fellow when he encounters me only runs away, this youngster does really play big now. Perhaps this will be the time of his ruin.” Hua Zhentian said pitifully yet with a grin.
In a corner, Long Zhengyang’s inner being was also anxious. He leaned his head only to find Ye Ningxue’s peaceful face. In the corner of her mouth hung a faint silly smile, and he couldn’t help but ask: “Sister Ningxue, aren’t you worried of your brother?”
“No worries.” Ye Ningxue answered.
“But my grand uncle… that Lin Yan is the most powerful fire wizard in the Tian Long Nation, would he have any method to take his attacks and not get hurt?”
“Of course! Because brother simply is not afraid of fire.” Ningxue said full of smiles.
Lin Yan waved both of his hands and two identically sized fireballs burst out as though they were two red colored dragons flying towards Ye Wuchen’s chest, all the while twisting and rotating. The corner of Lin Yan’s mouth exposed a sneer. With this hit, he only used 20% of his powers, he was confident that Ye Wuchen could only resist at most a few seconds without getting seriously burnt. Yet, as everyone had expected, Ye Wuchen didn’t even use any powers to resist or isolate the flames. He only stood there without moving, his expression strangely calm and he even stuck out his chest in preparation to receive the two approach flames.
The two flames knocked against Ye Wuchen’s body at the same time… the audience platform immediately echoed with the screams of women. Some women even turned around to cover their eyes, but this was immediately followed by a surprised and shocked cry.
After the two scorching, fiery dragon flames hit Ye Wuchen’s body, it was indeed like two flames falling into the water. Between a few breaths it disappeared without any trace. No splash of fire, no white smoke, just like that it completely disappeared. Not only was Wuchen’s body unharmed, but his clothes didn’t receive any damage as well. Ye Wuchen was still standing quietly on the same spot, as though nothing happened.
In disbelief, people rubbed their eyes again and again, they looked cautiously at Ye Wuchen’s body and attempted to find any traces of the burn, but could not find any. They could not help but think, did Lin Yan only mean to frighten his opponent by throwing out flames only to extinguish them or were the flames he threw simply flame-like fire lights? Beyond this, there was nothing that could have explained this inconceivable incident that just occurred.
But the extreme surprise that could be found in Lin Yan’s face surely could not have been faked ------- then by using what method did Ye Wuchen completely resist such flames?
