Chapter 132 - Arranged Battle! (1/2)

“I’d like to ask for your intentions instead!” As he stood in front of Yun Che, Sikong Du stared at Murong Yi with a frown and spoke without yielding in the slightest: “Murong Yi, this place is the important grounds for new disciple examinations, not a place for you to fuss about and unjustly assault others!”

“Unjustly assault others?” Murong Yi arrogantly sneered: “So what if I want to assault him?” He pointed at Murong Ye, and said furiously: “The wound on my cousin's face, is precisely caused by this Yun Che behind you! He injured my cousin first. Don’t tell me that you want me to just let it pass? Move aside quickly, and don’t stick your nose into other people’s business here! Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning against you!”

“Turning against me?” Sikong Du made a loud laugh: “I just happen to not be afraid of you turning against me. This business, I’m absolutely sticking my nose in! If your bones are itching to be fixed up a bit, then feel free to try and come at me!”

“You!” Murong Yi flew into a rage. He clenched both fists but forcefully suppressed himself and didn’t immediately strike out. Because he knew that he wasn’t a match for Sikong Du. He was ranked seventy-third on the Heavenly Profound Ranking, yet Sikong Du, was ranked thirty-ninth. However, he wasn’t afraid at all of Sikong Du either; it was because even though Sikong Du’s aptitude was extraordinary, his background was still very ordinary. Sikong Du’s father was only a measly little elder of a branch profound palace in New Moon City, while his own father, was the Northern Field Marshal whose authority shook the entire Blue Wind Empire.

“Sikong Du, you and me had always been two different streams of water that didn’t offend each other; this time, are you really so hell-bent on shredding all cordiality with me?”

“Whatever you, Murong Yi, wishes to do, I don’t care one bit. But as for this person behind me, his grandfather is the benefactor who saved my life. In this Blue Wind Profound Palace, no matter who it is that wants to cause him trouble, they'll have to pass through me first!” Sikong Du said sternly.

The surroundings was immediately filled up with chatter… No wonder why Sikong Du would personally go rescue Yun Che earlier and stand so unyieldingly in front of him to protect him now. It turned out that he and Yun Che actually had this kind of history.

Just after entering the Profound Palace, he already had the backing of an Inner Palace disciple. There wasn’t any newly entered disciples who weren’t envious and jealous toward Yun Che.

“Hmph, what a benefactor! Then what about my younger cousin’s wound? Don’t tell me that the cousin of I, Murong Yi, could be hit without holding anyone accountable?” Murong Yi said with an angry tone of voice.

“Since this is a grudge held between your younger cousin and Yun Che, then just let them settle it themselves. Since it’s your cousin who got injured, then just let your cousin avenge himself; and since he is a disciple of our Blue Wind Profound Palace, don’t tell me that he doesn’t even have this much backbone, and need an Inner Palace Disciple like you to harass a newly entering disciple?” Sikong Du spoke with a mocking tone. Just these few short sentences, made everyone’s attention turn toward Murong Ye. Most of their gazes were full with disdain and contempt…. Sikong Du was right; to not avenge his own grudge, but instead went to cling on to someone more powerful; it was simply despicable.

Murong Ye’s face and ears were flushed red from the gazes, as his hatred for Yun Che reached the extremity in his heart.

With Sikong Du blocking in front of Yun Che, Murong Yi basically arrived at a difficult situation that was similar to getting down from a tiger’s back. If he was to go with force, he simply wasn’t a match for Sikong Du. If he were to just let it pass like this… With countless disciples watching from the side, where would his face be as a dignified disciple of the Inner Palace. He took a step forward, and said unyieldingly: “Since it’s like this, then alright. Sikong Du, I’ll just give you this face, and won’t assault Yun Che! But I can’t just let the matter of Yun Che injuring my younger cousin rest, or else what face could I, Murong Yi, have! If you make Yun Che apologize to my younger cousin right here, and slap himself on the face ten times, I will then let this matter go. If you are still ignorant of what’s good for you…. Hmph, then from now on, it’s either you or me in the Inner Palace!”

Sikong Du tightly knitted his brows; actually, he had also arrived at a dillema. Even though he could defeat Murong Yi, Murong Yi’s powerful background was something that no one in the Blue Wind Profound Palace dared to look down upon. If he were to completely offend him, it would bring nothing but harm to both himself and Yun Che. However, if Yun Che had to apologize to Murong Ye as he demanded, and even slap himself in the face under the gazes of everyone… This was entirely a kind of great humiliation that no normal man would possibly accept.

At this moment, a hand rested onto his shoulder. Yun Che walked out from behind him, stood by his side and said with a relaxed smile: “Big Brother Sikong, I thank you for your graciousness. However, since this is a matter that I instigated, it’s naturally best for me to settle it myself.”

As he finished speaking, he directly faced Murong Yi who had a grim expression without waiting for Sikong Du to respond, and said without any hint of fear: “Murong Yi, it was indeed I who had hit your younger cousin Murong Ye. To speak out for him, can also be considered as the way of the world. But with my big brother Sikong here, it’s should be a bit difficult for you to do as you wish right now. If you really want to personally teach me a lesson, I can actually give you a chance.”

“You? Give me a chance? HAHAHAHA…” As if he had heard some funny joke, Murong Yi started to guffaw with extreme disdain: “Who the hell do you think you are?”

Yun Che didn’t become angry in the slightest. His brows sunk as his eyes narrowed, and unfeelingly replied: “Do you have the guts to give me three months of time?”

“Murong Yi, three months later, I’ll voluntarily challenge you. If I were to lose at that time, no matter if you want me to apologize to Murong Ye, or to injure and cripple me, I will never resist. Including Big Brother Sikong, no one would stop you either!”

As Yun Che’s words came out, the expressions of everyone around instantly became remarkable.

“Hah? What did he say? Challenge Murong Yi after three months? Am I hearing things?”

“You didn’t hear it wrong! Is this Yun Che insane! To have defeated Feng Yue, he is indeed pretty great, but what kind of character is Murong Yi? He is someone on the Heavenly Profound Ranking, and his profound strength is as high as the ninth level of True Profound Realm! Yun Che is only at the tenth level of Nascent Profound Realm, which means that there’s an entire Realm of difference. What kind of challenge is this!”

“This Yun Che, did he get carried away to the extent of knowing no bounds just from defeating Feng Yue? Let alone one of him, even if there were a hundred of him, he still wouldn’t be a match for Murong Yi! This is simply overreaching, and seeking his own death.”
