Chapter 26

“How is it? Do you dare to accept?”

Lei Ruoxu squinted at Ye Zhong, a faint smile hanging on his elegant face.

At this moment, quite a few people in the surroundings of the valley were frowning. Although the so-called agreement of three moves seemed simple, it was actually really dangerous. Everyone present had heard of the Four Grand Princes of the Lei Tian Dynasty several times. For such a person to set such a challengepromise, he really wants to eatYe Zhong to death.

At this moment, forget about the people present, even if all the powerhouses in the Qingxuan Mountain Range were to face the three moves of Lei Ruoxu, the number of people who could do it would likely not even reach five fingers. Each and every one of these people possessed a considerable reputation within the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And now, this Ye Zhong who appeared out of nowhere had the guts to take these three moves which seemed ordinary but actually extremely dangerous?

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes fell on Ye Zhong, waiting for his decision.

Ye Zhong narrowed his eyes for the moment, and a moment later, he suddenly smiled, “What a great agreement for three moves……However, what if I say that I have no interest in your so-called agreement of three moves at all?”

“Heh, in that case, even if Miss Su Yu blames me, I’ll still have to leave one of your arms behind today.” Lei Ruoxu smiled indifferently.

“You sure are confident!” Ye Zhong nodded indifferently, “However, while you may keep an arm of mine, I guarantee you that the price will be the lives of all of your subordinates here, do you believe me?”

Ye Zhong took a step forward, his eyes locked onto Lei Ruoxu. He did not cower because of his strength and threat. There was calmness deep within his eyes, and the expression on his face didn’t change at all. It was as if what he said wasn’t earth-shattering words, but just a normal thing.

“This guy is really worthy to be a disciple of the Xingxiang Sect!”

At this moment, a lot of gasps sounded from all around. When they saw that these two individuals were merely exchanging a few words, it looked as if their swords were clashing with neither prepared to give an inch. Quite a number of people were clicking their tongues faintly in surprise.

Lei Ruoxu’s aura was astonishing, but this member of the Xingxiang Sect was definitely not simple. Although his aura was not as strong as Lei Ruo’s, it was definitely not something that could be ignored.

“Humph! He was overestimating himself! It’s too exaggerated!”

Someone in the crowd sneered. No matter how pleasant Ye Zhong’s words were, in fact, nearly a hundred of Lei Ruoxu’s men were all at the Third Layer of Body Tempering. Even if Ye Zhong did not reveal his abilities at the moment, it would be extremely difficult for him to do what he said.

Only Su Yu frowned. She wanted to step forward to stop the scene, but after a while, she sighed and remained motionless. Even though she knew that Ye Zhong was probably not a match for Lei Ruoxu. However, Ye Zhong was not exaggerating when he said that he could kill nearly a hundred of Lei Ruoxu’s subordinates. That day at the City Lord’s Mansion, Ye Zhong had proved that he had the capability. Although Su Yu did not know how Ye Zhong did it that day, he did it. Since things had progressed to such a stage, the worst-case scenario would be her jumping in muddy water and helping him stop Lei Ruoxi. However, if that was the case, it would be a complete feud against the Hollow Prince, one of the Four Grand Princes of the Lei Tian Dynasty!

Seeing that Su Yu had no slightest intention to stop Ye Zhong. There was no anger in Lei Ruoxu’s eyes, but instead had a trace of deep thought.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Zhong. After a moment, he laughed silently, “A member of the Xingxiang Sect sure has a big mouth. But for Miss Su Yu’s sake, I don’t want to have a falling out with you……How about this, this Young Lord will take another step back. As long as you can take one of my blows, I’ll take over today’s matter. How about it?”

“Remember, this is this Young Lord taking a step backwards. It is also your last chance!”

As Lei Ruoxu’s voice faded, waves of unbelievable amazement sounded out before the valley. Obviously, no one expected that Lei Ruoxu would actually give in just as the two sides were about to clash!

Ye Zhong’s eyes narrowed and tightened his grip on his right hand. A moment later, he heaved a long sigh of relief. Although he wanted to start a fight now, it would not benefit either of them, as it would only benefit the others.

Therefore, after staring at the strange expression on Lei Ruoxu’s face for a while, Ye Zhong suddenly smiled, “One move is just one move, and for the sake of Senior Sister Su Yu as well, I will accept this move of yours …… If I cannot handle this move of yours, I will break my own arm today and can be considered as an explanation. However, if I can withstand this move, how will you give me an explanation?”

“What do you want!?” Lei Ruoxu frowned and said faintly.

“Don’t worry. I really don’t have any interest in the things you have on you. However, if I am able to receive this move of yours, all of us here, including myself, will be able to pass through this valley.” Ye Zhong laughed silently and spoke calmly. However, this voice could clearly be heard by everyone present.

“Well done, kid! The disciples of the Xingxiang Sect are indeed generous!”

“Hollow Prince, you are also one of the Four Grand Princes of the Lei Tian Dynasty. It can’t be that you don’t dare to agree to even a single bet, right?”

“Exactly! Both sides have placed their bets, now this agreement will be more interesting!”

The crowd was silent for a moment, then erupted in a roar that could topple mountains and overturn the seas. It was obvious that a moment ago, many people were prepared to watch a show, but Ye Zhong’s simple sentence had tied them all to his chariot. At this moment, Lei Ruoxu was standing in front of everyone present.

Su Yu looked at Ye Zhong strangely. She kind of understood a few points about Ye Zhong, with a temperament of seizing any opportunity, he actually knew how to do something that had no benefits and deliberately embarrassed the Hollow Prince?

Under Ye Zhong’s indifferent gaze, Lei Ruoxu’s face gradually turned a little ugly. He was collecting the ten entrance maps, so naturally, he had a use for it, but with a single word from Ye Zhong, it was akin to destroying his plan. How could he not be enraged?

“What is it? Are you scared?” Ye Zhong’s expression was indifferent, but his eyes were full of undisguised mockery.

“Heh heh heh! Afraid! Why would I be afraid!” Lei Ruoxu smiled sinisterly. At this moment, a faint killing intent surfaced on his handsome face, “Since you like to be a good person so much, then I’ll agree to your bet. This move, you can take it!”
