1711 A Death Duel Pact in a Year
The outcome of the battle between the two had already been decided,
Yi Yunyao was graceful, and on the other side, Wang Yifan looked a little disheveled. He was no longer as domineering as before.
“Junior Yi, I will give you face today and not attack Chu Yunfan for the time being. However, that Divinity Slicer was originally mine, so I want it back,” Wang Yifan said.
Everyone knew that Wang Yifan was admitting defeat. Yi Yunyao was probably stronger than him. Many people who knew the inside story felt amazed. Yi Yunyao had been a true disciple for a much shorter than Wang Yifan, not even half as long. But now, it seemed that Yi Yunyao had the upper hand, forcing Wang Yifan to give in.
Yi Yunyao looked at Chu Yunfan and said, “The Divinity Slicer is Junior Chu’s spoils of war. I won’t make a decision for him.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Chu Yunfan, but then, something unexpected happened.
Chu Yunfan stepped forward and said, “This is my spoils of war. You can take it back if you want, but you have to defeat me first.”
“What?!” Wang Yifan was so angry that he laughed. Did Chu Yunfan really think that he was a stray dog that any random inner disciple dared to challenge him?
Chu Yunfan did not understand the immensity of heaven and earth.
“One year from now, in the Death Arena, if you win, you can take back the Divinity Slicer,” Chu Yunfan said indifferently.
Everyone was shocked.
“Is he crazy? He’s challenging Senior Wang to a battle a year from now?”
“It’s only a year. How is that possible?”
“One year. Does he think he will gain enlightenment overnight?”
“I don’t think Senior Wang will pay any attention to him.”
“That’s true. What kind of person is Senior Wang? He’s a high and mighty true disciple, and Chu Yunfan is only an inner disciple. What qualifications does he have to challenge him? If Senior Wang accepts such challenges, he won’t be able to stop dealing with all kinds of challenges every day.”
“That’s right. I think Chu Yunfan just trying to whip up the crowd. With his cultivation, how can he be a match for Senior Wang? Even after a year, he’ll still be the same.”
“Even if Chu Yunfan relies on Senior Yi’s support, I’m afraid he won’t be able to protect himself.”
“I have a different opinion. Chu Yunfan is smart. If Senior Wang agrees, he won’t be able to find trouble with him openly for at least a year.”
“What’s the use of fighting in one year? There might be another chance in ten years!”
Everyone was discussing animatedly, but no one was optimistic about Chu Yunfan. When they looked at Chu Yunfan again, it was as if they were looking at a madman. Even Yi Yunyao frowned slightly, her eyes filled with astonishment. She never expected Chu Yunfan to make such a request.
“Of course, if you don’t have the guts, then pretend that I didn’t say anything. You can send people to kill me during the process. It doesn’t matter,” Chu Yunfan said indifferently, “I only need a year. After a year, I will definitely kill you.”
“What a good goading method!” Wang Yifan laughed in anger. “If I don’t agree, won’t people think I’m afraid of you? You want to kill me after a year? Who do you think you are? Alright, I’ll give you a year. After a year, I’ll kill you. At that time, I’m sure you’ll have nothing to say.”
As Wang Yifan spoke, he dusted off his sleeve and left angrily. Everyone looked in shock at the furious Wang Yifan. No one had expected him to agree. The Death Arena was a place used to settle the grudges of the disciples in the sect. Once they entered the Death Arena, it was a matter of life and death.
Many people immediately turned to look at Chu Yunfan. In a year’s time, how confident was Chu Yunfan that he would be able to defeat Wang Yifan? At the very least, he would be able to protect himself from Wang Yifan.
However, more people thought of the darker side.
“Don’t tell me he’s planning to stall for time and not appear after a year.”
“That’s right. That is possible. After all, with his cultivation, if he doesn’t get on stage, he’ll just at most lose some face.”
“How can it be that simple? Since he has already issued a challenge, how will Senior Wang let it go? When the time comes, it won’t be up to Chu Yunfan to decide if he doesn’t go on stage.”
Everyone was talking about it. Everyone looked forward to the match in a year’s time, but no one believed that Chu Yunfan really had the strength to defeat Wang Yifan.
The inner disciple competition had come to an end, but this battle had completely shaken the entire sect. Unless one had gone into seclusion, one would have heard of it.
A new disciple who had just entered the sect had defied the heavens and obtained first place. What shocked many even more was that this new disciple had issued a challenge to a true disciple, Wang Yifan. A year later, they would fight in the Death Arena, a to-the-death battle.
For a moment, everyone was in an uproar. At first, no one believed it. Just the first part was unbelievable enough, let alone the inner disciple who dared to challenge the true disciple, Wang Yifan. It was simply unbelievable.
For a time, it caused a huge uproar and even alarmed many true disciples. Even the true disciples showed interest in Chu Yunfan.
A year was neither too long nor too short. No one was optimistic about Chu Yunfan’s chances, but what everyone wanted to see more was how the battle would turn out after a year. Without a doubt, this new disciple became famous throughout the sect overnight.
In the East District, in the main hall of Moon Gazing Peak belonging to Yi Yunyao.
The hall was tall and majestic, with carved beams and painted pillars. There were pictures of fairies carved on it, and it looked a little otherworldly. Yi Yunyao sat on the main seat while Chu Yunfan sat below her.
“Thanks for all the help, Senior Yi. I’m eternally grateful,” Chu Yunfan said as he cupped his hands.
Yi Yunyao glanced at Chu Yunfan and pursed her red lips. “I recommended you. The reason Wang Yifan is finding trouble with you is because of me. The person he really wants to find trouble with is me.
“As for yourself, it’s only been half a year, and you’ve already cultivated to such a level.”
As Yi Yunyao spoke, her beautiful eyes flashed with amazement. When she learned of Chu Yunfan’s progress in just half a year, even with her mentality, she could not help but feel a little envious.
