Chapter 46: A Battle at the Peak (Part 1)
The White Robed Man’s words, although not spoken from the ring, were still loud and clear, at least louder than the noise from the stands, and everyone around could hear them clearly.
This time, not only were all the people around stunned, but I was stunned too. When did I become friends with the Snow Mountain Sect?
The young people from the four major powers who came to fight me were moved, and they began to accuse the white-robed man. Some of them even shouted, “What are you? Can you represent the Snow Mountain Sect? Even if you can represent the Snow Mountain Sect’s decision, does the Snow Mountain Sect dare to fight with us four major powers for this person?”
Facing the agitated young people, the white-robed man didn’t pay much attention, and his face still had a heartwarming smile.
I sensed that Zheng Mingyi, who was the most impulsive and violent, did not speak up, but only looked at Zhang Han. Yan Chenming lowered his head and put his hands in his pockets, not knowing what he was thinking. As for Zhang Han, he only frowned slightly, looking at the white-robed man who wanted to say something but couldn’t. In the end, he bowed to the white-robed man, said nothing, and retreated to the side, as if waiting for me quietly.
The man in white folded his arms in his sleeves, his smile even more exaggerated, his eyes squinting, and he looked at me and said, “How is it? Is this a good deal?”
I really wanted to ask why, but at that moment a figure had already rushed onto the stage. Before I could see who it was, it had already thrown itself into my arms, and its arms were wrapped around me very tightly.
“Third brother, I knew it. You’re not dead.” A voice with a hint of a sob came from my arms. My heart warmed, and a smile involuntarily appeared on my lips. I couldn’t help but say softly, “Well, I’m alive and well.”
“That’s good, I don’t have to live my life in a daze anymore, my life is back.” Ruyue didn’t look up, just holding me a little tighter. I was warm, and somehow a little embarrassed. I turned my head and saw Chengxin smiling at me, but his smile was distorted. It turned out that two tears had already been hanging on his face.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn’t. At this moment, Ruyue suddenly let go of me, wiped the tears from her face, and said, “I’m sorry, Third Brother. I’m so excited.”
I didn’t know how to respond to Ruoyue’s words, but I only realized at this moment that Ruoyue was very thin. I could only touch Ruoyue’s hair like I did when I was a child, and then rushed over and gave Chengxin a bear hug.
“The resilience of a wild boar, this supports me, and makes me believe that you won’t die.” Chengxin said in my ear. Before I could reply, I felt a pain in my back. It turned out that Xiao Chengqian had come over. Without saying a word, he punched me hard in the back, and then he himself let out a long howl and started crying.
“Brother…” I turned my head and saw that Huigen was standing in front of me.
Then I saw a face with tears in the smile, Chengqing, Chengzhen, Chengyuan, including Lushan and Taobai, all smiling with tears in their eyes.
I took Hui Gen’er in my arms and, with eyes wide open, said to everyone, “I’m alive, I’ve climbed out of hell, how can I bear to be separated from you, I can’t bear to be separated from you.”
After I said this, I didn’t know who cheered, the first to rush up, hugged me, and then I felt that I was embraced in the middle by everyone, and my ears were full of excited cheers.
In the haze, I heard Chengzhen say, “Our senior brother from the Shan family is back. What else is there to be afraid of?”
I was squeezed in the middle, secretly wiping away the tears on my face. I had imagined the scene of our reunion a thousand times, but I never imagined that we would reunite like this in front of 100,000 people.
Perhaps I was forced to reveal my true identity and let Jiang Yi’s efforts go to waste, but in fact I had considered this step myself. I, Chen Chengyi, was unwilling to let someone lead me by the nose for the rest of my life, even if it was Jiang Yi, even if on the surface he was doing it for my own good!
After all, from the limited clues I know, I can also deduce that in fact, Jiangyi is not being led by various concerns? In that case, I exposed my identity to force him to make a choice, to protect me, or to completely abandon me! After I saw that there were actually four major forces against me, my decision was even more firm, because I have been living in hiding, and I have not been worried. When I am exposed one day, I may not be able to react in time, and I will have been eliminated! In this way, I can force some of the forces behind me to come out, and everyone will stand on the surface and tear off their faces…
Another reason is that this is the fastest way to reunite with my brother and sister. We have already survived the Lake of a Thousand Demons together. As long as we are together, what do we need to be afraid of?
In this excitement, I thought a lot, and it turned out that I had bet right, and inexplicably received the protection of the Snow Mountain clan.
“Chen Chengyi, I’m sorry to interrupt your reunion, but I’m still waiting for you to fight.” At this time, a discordant voice suddenly interrupted, it was Zhang Han.
I let go of everyone’s hug and walked out of the crowd, ignoring Zhang Han and looking at the man in white and saying, “What you said is what the Snow Mountain clan said?”
The man in white still had his hands in his sleeves, and said to me, “That’s probably how it should be understood.”
“I’m a smartass. Are you sure you won’t regret it?” I stared at the white-robed man and said seriously.
“As long as it is within the sphere of influence of the Snow Mountain clan, I will never regret my words.” The white-robed man said lightly.
The scope is limited, but this is enough. I stood in front of Zhang Han and said, “Then let’s fight.” Xiao Chengqian stood behind me and said, “Yan Chen, hehe, an old acquaintance! Gee… Liu Chengquan, are you here too? Have you completely surrendered? Or have you completely surrendered with our Cheng family? What is the point of jumping out at this time? While Lin Chen was practicing hard, I ‘defeated’ you. Do you dream of becoming the first young person?
Xiao Chengqian’s words made the handsome man in the audience blush, and then his eyes turned to Xiao Chengqian with anger.
It turns out that among the four organizations that are targeting me, Xiao Chengqian’s former organization is also there.
Facing this commotion, Zhang Han’s brows furrowed slightly, and he said, “Those who have nothing to do with this, please leave. Chen Chengyi, you, will become the stepping stone for my battle to restore my name.”
I was too lazy to argue with him, so I just said calmly, “Let’s fight.”
Our conversation ended, and everyone retreated. On my side of the arena were my fellow students, and on the other side were the young people of the four major powers.
After the stands had been boiling for a long time, they finally quieted down. Everyone was looking forward to the start of this climactic battle, and the adjudicator of the Snow Mountain lineage also stepped onto the arena to announce the rules.
Due to the special nature of my battle with Zhang Han, the use of many secret arts was restricted, and even tricky arts and talismans were completely restricted. Tricky arts are like various Taoist arts and the art of summoning gods. What is needed is a complete competition of power, and the competition of basic arts will determine the outcome of this battle.
In other words, I could not use the Zhongmao technique, which goes against the heavens. To be honest, even if they didn’t specifically say so, I probably wouldn’t have used it anyway. I didn’t want to expose certain secrets in front of everyone, because my Zhongmao technique is too special.
After announcing the various rules, the referee from the Snow Mountain School stepped down from the platform, leaving only Zhang Han and me on the platform.
We stood about ten meters apart, looking at each other. Our eyes met, and it was as if a gust of wind had blown between us.
Zhang Han ripped off his Tang suit and revealed his muscular upper body. On his body was a very strange tattoo, just like Hui Gen’er’s blood-red tattoo, which was so lifelike. The tattoo was the face of a Taoist, but the blood-red eyes looked like those of a demon. The first time I saw the tattoo, I had a strange feeling that the tattoo seemed to be alive, and I inexplicably felt a sense of fear.
With the sound of the starting gun from the grandstand above, we finally officially started the battle.
The first to act was Zhang Han. He looked at me and smiled strangely, and suddenly began to pinch his hands. I thought I was knowledgeable, but I couldn’t recognize what Zhang Han was pinching.
But there was no time to waste on the arena, and I had already made up my mind. I began to practice the hand gestures, but they were very ordinary thunder spells.
As I was practicing the hand seal, there were confused exclamations from the stands. The sound was so loud that some of the words fell into my ears.
“Is Chen Chengyi really as good as his reputation? He even has Thunder Decision to deal with Zhang Han?”
“This Thunder Decision is very impressive for young people in their 20s, but what is it for young people who are already at the top of their game? There are not too many ways to break it!”
“Is Chen Chengyi admitting defeat? Or is he trying to curry favor with the four powers to find a way out?”
There were all kinds of guesses, but at this moment, I was relaxed and had completely entered a state of meditation. These words only fell on my ears, but they did not cause me to think about anything. I already had a complete idea in my mind about how to fight Zhang Han, and I didn’t care about what others thought at all.
