The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
65. Chapter 65: The Duel That Reverses the Current (8)
The morning sun shone on the young girl, adding clarity to her slightly curved lips. A gentle breeze danced with her hair as the sunlight danced in her carefree grin. His eyes, clear as a lake on a clear day, reflected the silhouette of the grumpy young man before him.
"It looks like you finally got brave and confessed to making that bet with me. You better not pull your words or you will become a disgrace so that your family will not be able to live in the Azure Dragon." Kingdom again!"
"Ha ha ha!" Ling Xi laughed before she replied, "Instead, I can't wait to see you hand your ass to you. This Hundred Herb Hall is as good as mine! Back then I didn't even need to teach you a lesson, this hall master will naturally teach you a lesson in my name!"
If that were to happen, of course it would be a catastrophe for Gu Ruoyun. After all, this was the only asylum he had right now.
Shopkeeper Zhao rolled his eyes at Ling Xi's selfish claims, but he did not say anything outwardly. "Master of the Hundred Herbs Hall? You mean Lady Gu Ruoyun herself? I wonder what kind of punishment Gu Ruoyun would give herself? Seriously, forget about teaching others a lesson, this bastard is the one who needs to be taught a lesson," he thought to himself.
Luo Yin remained worried. He turned to Gu Ruoyun. "Are you really going to be okay?"
"Please wait for me on the side."
Gu Ruoyun quickly turned her attention again to Ling Xi. "Well, shall we start?"
"Wait a minute!" He interrupted, looking at his opponent skeptically. "I'm afraid there will be fraud involved. Therefore I have taken precautions and I have asked for help. Please, Miss Yun! Elder Hun Fei!"
Swooshes!
Instantly after he made his statement, a streak of white light floated down from the air above like newly molten flower petals with a lingering scent. The girl's hair was blown off along with her white robe. He is like an angel who comes down from heaven. The crowd was fascinated by this refined beauty, yet they also felt compelled to take their eyes off her to avoid desecrating divine grace with their mortal gazes.
"He can fly?" Gu Ruoyun's eyes narrowed at Shi Yun's demonstration. "That is an ability that only Martial Emperors possess. His strength was still far away before reaching that rank! No doubt about it. He had somehow learned the secret to flying."
Right at that moment, the crowd split up as a group of men lined up with Hun Fei right in the middle, leading the troops. His attention was fixed on Gu Ruoyun. When his gaze found it, waves of killing intent gushed out from his entire body instantly as the air crackled with his cruel and ruthless presence.
"Gu Ruoyun! As much as I want to settle our scores, today I am here for little lord Ling's matter. You should know that today's duel is a fight of life and death. Both parties will sign a death waiver. Only fate can decide who will live and who will die. No one is involved!"
The crowd gathered here as there would be a duel between two formidable clans but there was no mention of the release of death! That is, the duel will only be completed after one of them dies. The only way for a loser to survive this duel is if the winner is compassionate and decides to save his opponent's life. Moreover, even if the losers pleaded for their lives, it would not make any difference.
It seemed like this time, this Ling family was determined to kill Gu Ruoyun.
"Gu Ruoyun!" Luo Yin's face lost its color as she exclaimed, "You can't do it! Don't sign the death certificate!"
"Do it! Sign it, asshole. Just die so you stop humiliating the Gu family!" The sound came from among the spectators. None other than Gu Panpan who was watching Gu Ruoyun with a sinister look.
Her father would not blame her and her mother would not divorce if Gu Ruoyun had never existed.
That's all... wrong****** that's!
