Chapter 710 - A Good Play’s Opening (5)
Chapter 710 “A Good Play’s Opening (5)”
Slowly raising the corner of her lips until it’s a smirk, Bai Yan found it amusing to see the tearful Mu Leng trying to swing the story her way.
Such shamelessness, this girl is a real eye opener.
“HA! Zhongnan (older) sneered, “Then how should we settle the fact that you tried to harm my disciple?”
Pressing down the murderous intent in her eyes, Muzhen bites her lip in frustration: “It’s mainly a misunderstanding between Leng’er and your student, and I only acted because she’s siding with the dragons. Since it has come to this, why don’t we let the younger generation settle it among themselves, how about it?”
“Shifu?” a pang of delight envelops Mu Leng’s heart.
Shifu means to have us fight. With my strength, I can definitely win the brawl against an Earth Rank cultivator. Heck, I can even kill her by claiming I misjudged the exchange and play innocent!
It’s exactly as the wretched girl believes. In order to blind the world to her true strength, Bai Yan’s been withholding her aura so others would believe her powers were so poor.
“I don’t agree!” Jun Tian Yue (wife) scoffs a laugh, “Do you take me for a fool or something? You think I will believe your nonsense just because of a few words you made up? Now you even have the audacity to attempt murder in my face?!”
Although the girl was Zhongnan’s apprentice but it’s obvious the strength between both are heaven and earth. To even propose such a duel was no different from trying to get the weaker one to die.
The two brothers didn’t have such a strong reaction compared to the madam. They’re still able to remember the amazing momentum their disciple displayed earlier when rushing over so their hearts were less worried.
“Shifu, since someone wants to seek their own death then why don’t I oblige them?” Strolling forward without a care in the world, Bai Yan was openly grinning like she’s hooked the fish.
If the woman kept refusing the duel then Muzhen and her apprentice would continue to pressure for it, but to see how easily it was accepted, it’s left them flabbergasted and didn’t know how to take this.
Did we misjudge her? This woman is not an Earth Rank?
“Poseur!” Mu Leng huffs a snort.
The woman must be pretending because she knows she couldn’t cancel the duel.
Nothing but a lowly Earth Rank, I will squash her like an insect!
“Yan’er….” Seeing how close his disciple was already to the opponent, Zhongnan couldn’t resist the fear in his heart and called out in concern. Touching at the girl’s shoulder: “Let us handle this, you don’t have to do this.”
That’s right, he’s still scared in the end….
They’ve lost one apprentice already, losing another one now would be more than what they could bear. Even if it means not being an elder anymore, the two brothers would rather choose that outcome!
But in the end, Bai Yan take the gesture of goodwill and pushed the hand away. Her figure was stoic and powerful against the flowing breeze, indicating the strong-willed nature of her character.
“I’ll ask one last time, are you sure you want to challenge me to a duel of life and death?”
“Yes!” Clenching her fist, Mu Leng decisively states her decision, “Life and death!”
Muzhen on the other hand felt faintly disturbed inside after getting the answer she sought for her student. The old beauty should be happy right now yet only worry filled her polluted heart.
For the entire show, the only one not effected at all was the womanizer. Xun Huan found it rather amusing and even hilarious even.
This old hag… can’t she even tell Bai Yan is not what she seems to be? Three years ago the lassie was already at the middle level of the King Rank. She might even be a Monarch Rank if I’m not mistaken.
All of sudden, the splitting and painful memory of having his balls kicked out by the hotheaded girl once again came back. Out of instinct for survival and procreation, the womanizer subconsciously hid behind his parents for protection….
“I’ll let you have three moves.” Provoking in her demeanor, Bai Yan smirks like a superior being.
If it was the usual ordeal then she would’ve made it quick and decisive, but this wasn’t the usual stuff was it? This was an act of revenge and venting for her two new shifus. For that reason alone, this good student was willing to spend some more time toying with the foe.
“Impudent!”
Cocking a satirical snicker, Mu Leng takes the initiative and draws her sword. Leaping forward at breakneck speed, she ruthlessly slashes down at the opponent’s head without mercy.
