Chapter 152: Chapter 152
"Since Brother Feiyu has spoken, let it be. Wang Zhao, you and your brother had better behave from now on. If you dare to be presumptuous in front of me, Dong Chao, again, you know the consequences." Clad in a purple robe, Dong Chao glanced at the youth in the black robe and then withdrew the formidable pressure he was exuding.
The youth in the black robe was none other than the Duel Arena's prodigy of the Chen Family, Chen Feiyu, whose status in War King City was on par with Dong Chao's. Since this was the Chen Family's territory, Dong Chao naturally had to show some respect to Chen Feiyu.
The faces of the Wang Zhao brothers turned ashen. Though they were extremely angry inside, they did not dare to voice their indignation. In terms of background and strength, the Wang family was no match for the Dong Family; when it came to cultivation, the two brothers combined were not Dong Chao's equal. They had only dared to talk back to Dong Chao on impulse, but now that they had calmed down, they dared not act rashly anymore.
"Young Master, since you've come to our Chen Family's Duel Arena, you naturally can't miss watching a few battles. Zhao Letian, down there on the stage, it's said he once defeated Nie Yun, a young genius of the Nie Family. And Wang Yi, as well, is a young talent of the Wang Family. Both of them can represent the general level of strength of this generation's geniuses in War King City. If they were to fight, the battle would surely be spectacular. Would the Young Master be interested in watching?" Chen Feiyu, dressed in a black robe, turned to the leading youth in golden robes, Ye, and enthusiastically suggested.
Nie Yun's elder brother, Nie Lei, suddenly had a dark look on his face, and his eyes showed a cold chill as he looked at Zhao Letian. Because of Zhao Letian, his brother Nie Yun had become a laughingstock among the scions of War King City, and the entire Nie Family had lost face. This grudge, he noted; if opportunity arose, he would certainly make Zhao Letian pay.
"If the two of them are willing, Ye would naturally be pleased to watch. However, one must not force others, and we must not break the rules here on account of Ye alone." Young Master Ye smiled slightly, his expression still unruffled, as if nothing in this world could ever make him lose his composure.
"Wang Yi, you've heard what the Young Master has said. You should know what to do next without me teaching you, right?" Chen Feiyu said to Wang Yi.
The Wang family had a close relationship with the Chen Family, even to the point of being reliant on the Chen Family's power. Wang Zhao and Wang Yi, the two brothers, were considered as one of their own by Chen Feiyu, who intended to help Wang Yi along, hence creating this opportunity for him to shine.
"Wang Yi understands, thanks to Young Master Ye, and Young Master Chen." Wang Yi was overjoyed inside and quickly bowed in thanks. This was finally his chance to shine. As long as he could defeat Zhao Letian quickly and cleanly, he might catch Young Master Ye's attention.
"Zhao Letian, do you dare to fight me?" The f$u$l^l ser$ies* is hos-t*ed on My V#ir^t*u$al Libr!ar@y^ E#m+pi!re, known* as MV-7^L&E+MPYR%.
Wang Yi stepped onto the stage, eyeing Zhao Letian with a cruel cold smirk at the corners of his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Letian ignored Wang Yi's provocation and headed straight down the stage.
Back in the military camp, his battle with Nie Yun was driven by the latter coming to snatch someone from him, which created a conflict of interest that he could not avoid, hence he had to fight with all his might. But with Wang Yi, there was no such conflict of interest, so there was no need to engage in a battle with him, inviting unnecessary trouble.
"Coward! I thought the one who defeated Nie Yun would be some young hero, but now it seems to me, you're indeed just a country bumpkin from a small town, a spineless rat at that, not even having the courage to accept a challenge. Nie Yun losing to you is simply pathetic. From now on, he has no right to be mentioned in the same breath as me and others."
Wang Yi wore a disdainful cold smile on his face, unapologetically mocking, and in passing, further belittled Nie Yun, turning Nie Lei's face even more ashen.
The crowd on site also showed disappointment. Wang Yi's strength was not something Hei Feng could compare with. Perhaps Zhao Letian was indeed afraid.
"Whether I'm a coward is not for you to judge. Not accepting the challenge is not because I scorn to fight you; it's not because I can't, but because it would be as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs to kill you." Zhao Letian's steps paused, he looked indifferently at Wang Yi, unabashedly speaking his mind.
"How dare you! Who do you think you are, speaking to me ? If you really have the courage, then settle this in a fight to the death on this arena, ceaseless until one of us is dead. Otherwise, shut your mouth. Your vain bravado will only make people disdain you more, you rubbish." Wang Yi coldly scolded, his face showing utmost arrogance. In his opinion, Zhao Letian was all talk and wouldn't dare to actually fight him.
"A fight to the death? Let's not even mention it. You talk a good talk now, but once you're at a disadvantage in the fight, your elder brother Wang Zhao will surely interfere. I, this country bumpkin, cannot afford to provoke someone from the High-level True Martial Realm, not to mention, there's also your enormous family backing you. If I were to kill you, would your Wang family let me off?" Zhao Letian said indifferently.
"What do you mean by that? Do you suspect that I, Wang Yi, would bully others by using my status? Hmph, although my cultivation is shallow, I am still a recognized figure among the younger generation in War King City. Our duel will be subject to fate, and my brother, as well as the Wang family, will not trouble you." Wang Yi pledged solemnly.
"Your promises are worthless." Zhao Letian sneered.
"What about me? I, Wang Zhao, guarantee on a martial artist's honor that I will not interfere with your fight with my brother Wang Yi. You should give some weight to the promise of someone from the High-level True Martial Realm, right?" Wang Zhao said coldly, his certainty stemmed from his firm belief that Zhao Letian couldn't possibly be his brother Wang Yi's match, otherwise, it would be a different story.
"Your promise is as good as a fart." Zhao Letian unceremoniously said, well aware of the nature of these pampered children.
"How dare you!" Wang Zhao barked angrily, emitting a strong aura, as if he was about to teach Zhao Letian a lesson.
"Don't be impulsive, young man, then what exactly do you need to willingly fight Wang Yi?" Chen Feiyu waved his hand to stop Wang Zhao and looked at Zhao Letian to ask.
"First, Wang Zhao must make a Heavenly Dao Oath, not to intervene midway in the fight, nor to seek revenge afterwards. Secondly, there must be some sufficiently influential people to guarantee, in case of desperation, the Wang family wouldn't act rashly. If these two conditions are met, I will fight him to the death. Otherwise, I will leave now, and I assume no one here will arbitrarily stop a military man, right?" Zhao Letian looked at the group of young talents and simultaneously took out his military Identity Token, showing it to everyone. He declared his identity publicly, intending to deter any ill-intentioned people; best not to mess around, or bear the wrath of the War King Mansion.
"You're in the Dragon Tooth Army? So it seems, we are on the same side. As for the Heavenly Dao Oath, I can get Wang Zhao to make it, and as for guarantors, how about I, along with Young Master Dong and Young Master Chen, serve in that role? Our reputation should surely be enough, right?" Young Master Ye, upon seeing Zhao Letian's Token, showed a sudden change of expression and spoke with a smile.
