Chapter 456 - 452: Long-Awaited Battle (Part 2)
"Let’s begin." Zhou Qi’s voice rang out.
"Wait!" Yi Shuiyan stared directly at Ling Chen, enunciating each word carefully, "Before we start, I have a proposal. In a martial arts competition, one should give it their all, but it’s inevitable that one may not control themselves and cause accidental injury. I am aware of the rules of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, but they are too restrictive, making it difficult to really let loose. I think we should agree on our own rule between us."
Ling Chen’s expression remained indifferent, but his mind fully grasped the intent behind Yi Shuiyan’s words.
"Tell me, what rule?"
"Combat can be unpredictable, and if someone gets hurt, or even dies on the stage, it can’t be blamed on anyone else. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, before Ling Chen could respond, Zhou Qi frowned from below the stage and chastised, "Yi Shuiyan, don’t overstep your bounds."
Yi Shuiyan let out a cold laugh, ignoring Zhou Qi’s warning, his chilling eyes fixated on Ling Chen as if awaiting his response.
Seeing that Ling Chen had yet to reply, Yi Shuiyan snorted with a sneer, his eyes brimming with disdain, "What’s the matter, don’t you have the courage? Are you only capable of hiding behind a woman, letting her fight for you? Hmph! How can someone like you be worthy of being called a man?"
Faced with Yi Shuiyan’s provocation, the corners of Ling Chen’s mouth lifted slightly, his pupils as dark as Mo Che’s, radiating a fierce chill.
Yi Shuiyan had this request because his true purpose was likely to see him slain right there, to avenge the humiliation suffered by the Dangyang Sect.
