Chapter 546 Duel!
King Huai’s expression, which had been as calm as water and seemed to have everything under control, became ironic for the first time.
“Hahahahaha! Good boy!” Looking at King Huai’s face that became ugly all of a sudden, Elder Mu laughed out loud in pain without a care in the world. Originally, their side had always been suppressed by King Huai, suppressed to the point where they were almost breathless, but now, once Yun Che stepped in, he had hardened the collective rage of the seven clans on the opposite side of the room, causing King Huai to all reveal a deflated expression……. It was simply refreshing to the extreme.
Everyone realized that they had completely underestimated this youth. When he faced the king of Huai, his expression was always a calm and self-contained, his momentum was not reduced at all, and his words were even sharper, making the king of Huai dumbfounded, and making the seven family lords one by one tremble all over their bodies.
What makes people have to sigh is that he is bold enough! Standing across from him, but the County King of Huai, he was the Guardian Family Lord’s Family Lord, a figure that even the Little Demon Empress was deeply afraid of, and it was just as well that Yun Che was so imposing when he faced him, he actually cursed freely and recklessly. For the hallowed King of Huai County to be scolded as a pus, to be scolded as a goon who was not worthy of being compared to his father, the contemptuous eyes and the tone of contempt were also clear enough for anyone to see and hear.
Just based on Yun Che’s few words just now, King Huai had already developed a will to kill him. His mind raced, quickly confirming the battle strength of his side, as well as the strongest twelve people the other side was capable of fighting, and then pondering over the various uncertainties that were likely to arise, he came to the conclusion that on his side, there was absolutely no possibility of losing.
Then, there was only one explanation that he could think of …… The Yun Che in front of him was clearly intentionally putting on the appearance of being certain and strong to make him fearful, thus avoiding this competition that could suppress the other party to the point of being undignified!
This was the only possibility!
Thinking of this, King Huai instantly calmed down, and said to Yun Che’s back, “Yun Che, this one-man show of yours is also too poorly sung… Did this king say that he didn’t dare to agree?”
“Oh?” Yun Che turned around, a momentary flash of a different color in his eyes …… Although it was only a short moment, but how sharp was King Huai’s gaze, he still captured it clearly, and instantly let out a sneer in secret: It’s really like that.
“In that case, King Huai, you have agreed?” Yun Che said with a solemn expression, and with a raised eyebrow, he smiled lightly, “However, it seems like it’s not useful for just you, King Huai, to agree, do you represent the seven guardian clans behind you?”
“Heh heh heh,” the king of Huai has completely recovered the previous leisurely, smiled and said, “This king has not really afraid of anyone in this life, and even more will not be afraid of this so-called chips proposed by you, this so-called chips for this king, no matter what is not important, because this king …… will never lose, hahahaha.”
King Huai laughed out loud, not too heavy a laugh, but filled with a deep arrogance. He turned to the seven guardian clans, “All family heads, do you have any objections?”
“If His Highness King Huai has no objections, we naturally have no problem with it.” The family lords nodded their heads, looking at King Huai who was full of certainty, they also calmed down, and also thought …… at the same time that it was right, if they were to face off according to the rules proposed by King Huai, how could their side lose! The comprehensive strength gap between the two young generations can be said to be incomparable, their side, not to mention the possibility of defeat, even if they can only fight six people, there is an absolute certainty that the other twelve people!
Not to mention twelve against twelve!
Then the so-called chips proposed by Yun Che sounded amazing, but it was simply a pose that would never be realized!
“Hear that?” King Huai narrowed his eyes and looked at Yun Che: “The so-called chips you want are already there, can this match that will decide the fate of your Yun Family begin? Or, are you going to find any other reasons to delay and procrastinate?”
“Delay?” Yun Che looked surprised, “Why should I delay? I’m the one who agreed to this match from the very beginning, and I can’t wait for it to start right away. However, since King Huai also knows that the fate of my Yun Family is at stake in this match, the fairness of its process and the execution of the results are also crucial! This match must have the most authoritative notary.”
After Yun Che finished speaking righteously, he faced the Little Demon Empress and bowed, “Little Demon Empress! For this match, please witness the entire process and the final result, and announce the final result to the entire arena …… and even to the world after the match!”
The Little Demon Empress looked at Yun Che steadily, and after a long while, her voice that was as cold as ice resounded, “Whether or not your Yun Family can continue to serve as a Guardian Family, under the heavens, only this Empress can decide! Even if there are ten times more people targeting your Yun Family, if this Empress does not agree, no one has the right to interfere with your Yun Family’s fate. And if once the match begins and you end up losing, you will inevitably have to follow the pre-match ‘chips’ and will not be able to continue to be a guardian family, and at that time, this Empress will not be able to leave you behind …… Even so, are you sure you still want to fight? ”
“Must fight!” Yun Che said without any hesitation, “Our Yun Family is grateful for the Little Demon Empress’ honor, but what we are fighting for this time is not only the fate of the family, but also the dignity of the family! If we don’t fight, even if the Little Demon Empress is gracious enough to allow my Yun Family to remain in the guardianship position, there will be more voices telling our Yun Family to leave, and the world, too, will despise us. Our Yun Family is determined to use this battle to shut up those who have evil intentions firmly and forever!”
Yun Che’s words deeply touched the heartstrings of the people of the Yun Family, causing them to clench their fists and nod their heads, no longer able to feel that he was impulsive and reckless. The Little Demon Empress frowned and raised her head, looking towards Yun Qinghong …… Yun Qinghong nodded slowly at her.
“Good!” The Little Demon Empress stood up, an aura like the sea instantly filled every corner, she said with words that shook her heart, “Then this Empress, will personally witness this battle! This duel, if King Huai’s side wins, the Yun Family must lose the qualification of guarding the family; if the Yun Family’s side wins, then, Helian, Chiyang, Bai Family, Nangong, Lin Family, Jiufang, Tsao Family, each of your seven families, must gather enough five pounds of Purple Vein Divine Crystals within a month, and send them to the Yun Family’s door! As for you, King Huai, each of you must gather enough twenty pounds of Purple Vein Divine Crystals to deliver to the Yun Family within the same amount of time!”
“This is the bargaining chip you agreed upon yourselves, no matter who loses, you must never back out! Otherwise, this Empress will be the first to not forgive!”
“Thank you, Little Demon Empress!” Yun Che followed the Little Demon Empress’s voice and said loudly, then turned around and faced everyone in the grand hall, “And all of you brothers, sisters, and seniors from the south and north of the heavens, who belong to my Illusory Demon Realm, I also invite you to witness this together! There are heroes from all over the world witnessing this, if the losing side still dares to go back on their words, that would truly be not even having a face, at least our Yun Family definitely cannot do such a thing.”
The heroes of the world witnessed, this was undoubtedly the most powerful witness! The outcome of this duel would also be spread to every corner of the Illusory Demon Realm due to the world’s group of heroes present. If under such witnessing and witnessing, the losing party were to backtrack and play tricks, then it would truly be as Yun Che had said, and the entire clan’s face would be completely disgraced.
“Well said, really well said. To be witnessed by the Little Demon Empress and the world’s heroes, that really couldn’t be better.” King Huai’s eyes narrowed into slits. The more certain and impassioned Yun Che acted on his side, the calmer and more leisurely he became instead, because in his opinion, this was clearly the other party desperately trying to salvage some last bit of dignity for the Yun Clan in this manner, under the circumstance of knowing that they would surely lose. With all his life’s wisdom, he could not think of any means or possibilities for the other party to reverse the situation.
“There’s no need to even say anymore!” The Little Demon Empress waved her hand, her eyes like cold stars, “You will be given three hundred breaths of time each for your two sides to prepare and decide on the people who will go to battle. Twelve people from each side, no older than thirty-five years old! This Empress, will personally choose the competition venue for you!”
“At the behest of the Little Demon Empress.” King Huai casually arched his hand, but did not make any other movements, looking at the Yun family’s side in a good manner. He was already well aware of which people from their side were participating in the battle, and there was simply no need to spend any more time choosing.
Yun Che returned to his seat with a cautious face. Xiao Yun had already been agitated with his face turning red and white at times, after all, right now, it was a duel that concerned the fate of the entire Yun Family! He nervously and incomparably said, “Big brother, is it really …… really alright?”
Yun Che’s eyebrows twitched as he said to Yun Qinghong, “Father, do you believe me?”
Yun Qinghong looked at him and smiled, “You are my son, if I don’t even believe you, who else can I believe in this world?”
Yun Che’s heart warmed as he smiled, “Father, don’t worry, I won’t fail your belief.”
Yun Qinghong, however, shook his head, “Che’er, you don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself, and even more so, you don’t need to take the burden onto yourself and be forced into this situation, this match, is something that you have to battle regardless of whether you win or lose. Even if you lose, so what? So what if we are expelled from the guardianship? As long as our family is still around, the Yun Family will have a day to rise again no matter where we are! If we win, naturally everyone will be happy, and if we lose, we can afford to lose!”
Yun Qinghong’s words caused the tension in Xiao Yun’s heart to be swept away like a breeze, his face became lighter as he clutched his hands and said, “Father, what you said is too good! That’s right, even if the Yun Family loses, Father, Mother, and Big Brother are all still around! Then what’s there to be afraid of!”
“Hehehe.” Yun Che, however, laughed as he incomparably and seriously said, “Father, Mother, Xiao Yun, you guys put your hearts at ease! Although, I don’t really have much certainty as to whether or not we can win this match, I assure you that even if we lose, we definitely won’t be expelled! Our Yun Family’s dignity, moreover, will not be tarnished by a single point and a single millimeter……. Even at that time, even if we ourselves want to leave, no one in the world will agree!”
“Huh??” Xiao Yun blinked his eyes vigorously, a look of surprise and bewilderment on his face.
In comparison, the Su Family, the Yan Family, the Mu Family, and the One World Clan, however, were instead more nervous than the Yun Family.
“Stop the battle, in this battle, the core combatant of our side is you! You must remember that this is by no means just about the Yun Family clan, you must give your all!” Su Xiangnan solemnly said to his son.
“Don’t worry father, I will definitely do my best.” Su Zhi Zhan looked determined.
“Chengkong, our Yan family, naturally, you will be the one to fight. Remember, don’t slack off thinking that we are bound to lose, this battle is not only about the fate of the Yun Family, but also about the future and dignity of our Yan Family! Even if we have to lose, we have to lose miserably! Defeat the valor of my Yan Family!” Yan Zi Jing grabbed Yan Chengkong’s shoulder and said.
“Yes! I will never disgrace the Yan Family.” Yan Chengkong nodded heavily.
“Old Six, you’ll be on later.” Heavenly Xiongtu only had a faint sentence, but his eyes, had interpreted everything.
“Old Six, no matter who your opponent is, absolutely don’t hold back!” Heavenly First said.
“Sixth brother, go for it.” The seventh under heaven had a tense face.
“Father, and everyone else, don’t worry, I know what this battle means……. How dare I slack off!!!” The sixth under the sky said with a cautious face.
“Heng Yi, you are the most outstanding person in the younger generation of our Mu Family, this time, it will be you who will represent the family in the battle, the opponent is far more powerful than us, are you afraid?” Mu Fei Yan personally said. Mu Yubai, Mu Yukong, and Mu Yuqing were all unmarried, not to mention childless, this Mu Hengyi, was the eldest grandson of the Third Great Elder.
“Don’t worry family head, although my cultivation is shallow, it’s not that easy for them to win against me!” Mu Hengyi said with great vigor.
Su family, the word family, the world, the Mu family, the cloud family each out of a person, the remaining seven people, there are all the king’s house to come out, these seven people, there are two people ranked in the end of the “phantom demon seven”, naturally be selected, the other five people, all the kings entangled a lot.
In a tense and solemn atmosphere, three hundred breaths quickly passed.
“Time has come.”
The Little Demon Empress, who had closed her eyes in silence, opened her eyes, and then flew up, instantly moving to the center of the great hall, and under her gray robe, her snow-white jade arms spilled down blazing, burning red firelight.
All of a sudden, a diameter of a hundred feet long crimson ring deeply printed in the center of the hall on the jade floor, composed of this fiery red ring, is countless clusters of tiny, but never extinguished embers.
As the core hall of the entire Illusory Demon Realm, every brick and tile here was extremely difficult to be destroyed, and anyone who could instantly imprint such a large mark here could not be found in the entire Illusory Demon Realm. This was also the reason why in all the Demon Emperor Ceremonies, the phantom fights of the twelve clans and royal families were all in the great hall, without the need to find another venue.
“This circular range, is the playing field! When both sides face off, if one side admits defeat, falls to the ground for more than ten breaths, or is knocked out of this circular range, they are considered to have lost!”
