Mo Yu's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he rushed up to the high platform. His face was red as he shouted at Zhang Hun, "Elder Zhang Hun, you have to uphold justice for this old man. This brat used the most sacred arena of our sect to commit despicable acts. He is abusing his position to avenge a personal grudge. This is against the rules!"
Mo Yu's words caused countless elders and disciples to frown.
Zhang Hun's expression changed as he glared at Mo Yu.
Mo Yu was shocked as he realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly changed the topic and said to Fang Qing, "Sect Leader, look, what I said is the truth. You can't let Mu Yu die unjustly."
Fang Qing frowned slightly. She did not take Mo Yu's previous rudeness to heart. She took a deep breath and said, "Qin Shi, do you have anything to say?"
Qin Shi replied excitedly, "Of course I do. Aren't you accusing me unjustly?"
Fang Qing smiled in satisfaction. She believed that Qin Shi would not do something that would put her in a passive position. She gestured, "Go ahead."
Qin Shi nodded his head. Soon after, he turned towards Mo Yu and said, "I say, Elder Mu Yu, your words from before have really wronged this junior. You have also seen it earlier, Mu Yu had already left the stage at the very last moment. He did not die on the stage, and the one who made a move against his token was not me, but Su Tiao. If you want to denounce him, you should be questioning him. What has this got to do with me?"
"You …!" Mo Yu's eyes widened.
Su Tiu landed on the ground and frowned slightly. He glared at Qin Shi with a murderous look.
Qin Shi smiled at him indifferently.
Su Tiu nodded and suddenly laughed, "Haha, hahaha, good, good boy. I was wondering why you would make such a low-level mistake. It turns out that you wanted me to take the blame for you."
"I didn't do anything."
Qin Shi smiled proudly and said, "In the end, it was you who destroyed Mu Yu's token, right?"
"Sure, sure, sure!"
Su Tiao sneered. He didn't explain himself because he didn't need to explain anything. As long as the people here weren't fools, they would be able to understand the whole story.
Qin Shi also knew that his method of shirking responsibility was very useless, so he continued, "Furthermore, if I remember correctly, the elder in charge of the enforcement previously said that in the first preliminary round, killing is not allowed, and that it should be stopped when it's appropriate. However, the rules of the final round are different from what I heard. What was said at that time? Oh right, I think it was said that there are no rules, right?
As long as I can stand on this stage in the end, it's fine, right?
Just now, Elder Mo Yu's attacks were all aimed at my vitals. It was obvious that he wanted to kill me. Now, the one who died was him. However, I wanted to say, if I was the one who died, would Elder Mo Yu be so emotional?
The way I see it, the one who wants to avenge a personal grudge should be you, right? "
"I …!" Mo Yu was rendered speechless.
Qin Shi's aura became stronger and stronger. For a moment, it even surpassed Mo Yu's. He said aggressively, "Back then, when Elder Mo Yu tried to kill Yu Yue, why didn't you stand up for him?
Elder Mo Yu, stop putting on an act. We're not fools, and I don't think I've done anything against the rules. His death has nothing to do with me. Which eye of yours saw me kill him?
In the end, I only patted Elder Mo Yu's shoulder. If I patted his shoulder and he died, then I would have killed too many people in my life. Either you have proof, or don't frame me. "
After listening to Qin Shi's explanation, Mo Yu was speechless.
Qin Shi didn't give him a chance to speak. He said, "Sovereign, please make a decision."
Fang Qing nodded at Qin Shi with satisfaction. Then, she pretended to be serious and asked Mo Yu, "Elder Mo Yu, do you have anything else to say?"
"I!"
Mo Yu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. At this moment, Zhang Hun seemed to have realized something. He glared at Mo Yu and signaled him to stop talking.
Mo Yu had no choice but to clench his fists and swallow his grievances. He stared at Qin Shi with red eyes.
"That's all."
"That's good. Then, let's continue the competition."
Fang Qing smiled and gently sat down.
Fang Qing had already spoken. Even though many people knew that Fang Qing was siding with Qin Shi, what could they do?
Plus, Mu Yu's behavior was a bit over the line. Many disciples didn't feel any pity for him.
Mu Yu was dead. Outside the arena, Qin Shi looked around and his eyes landed on Meow Er. He smiled and said, "I've done what I promised you."
Meow Er's stubborn face finally softened.
Haoyue and Xu Qingfeng, who were next to Yu Yue, laughed and said, "Young man, did you see that?
Qin Shi has avenged you. "
Yu Yue nodded.
On the arena, Qin Shi clenched his fists and took a deep breath. "Now that Mu Yu is dead, the competition has just begun."
Suddenly, someone looked at him. He didn't seem surprised and turned around.
"Hehe, what a good way to get rid of the evidence." Su Pu sneered.
"Compared to Brother Su, I'm still far behind."
Su Tian's eyes turned cold and his mouth twitched. "Hehe, young man, don't talk nonsense. I'll remember it and I'll give it back to you."
Qin Shi shrugged and said, "I never thought about it. But since Mu Yu is dead, I don't want our game to end so soon. But it doesn't mean that I'm afraid of you."
Su Cha was stunned, and his eyes were cold: "Hehe, it's okay. Don't worry, I have the same idea as you. I will wait until the finals. When it's just you and me, I will make you lose your reputation in front of everyone and defeat you in front of the whole sect."
"Then I'll be waiting." Qin Shi smiled and didn't show any weakness. He stretched and didn't want to talk nonsense with Su Tian anymore.
At this time, a figure suddenly blocked his way.
"Next, it's our turn." Yun Yan's eyes were filled with desire and a strong desire to fight.
"What a warrior from head to toe."
Qin Shi couldn't help but feel helpless towards Yun Yan. It seemed that in Yun Yan's world, there were only two words, fists. He understood that the battle between him and Yun Yan was inevitable. Now that he had Mu Yu as an excuse, Yun Yan wouldn't allow him to avoid it.
He didn't want to avoid it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Yun Yan's request.
The best way to subdue a martial artist was to use force.
Qin Shi smiled helplessly. "Okay, then let's do it."
Yun Yan nodded seriously. He pulled away from Qin Shi and got into a fighting stance. He said, "Use your full strength. Let me see what you're capable of to make my master think so highly of you!"
"Your master thinks so highly of me?"
Qin Shi was stunned. He didn't remember having any interactions with Lu Shan.
"Stop talking nonsense. Take this!"
However, Yun Yan only had eyes for the battle. He didn't respond to Qin Shi at all. He immediately stomped on the ground and dashed hundreds of meters away. He threw a punch at Qin Shi's chest.
Qin Shi's eyes narrowed and his body swayed to the left.
Boom!
In the next second, the ground where he was standing was smashed by Yun Yan, forming a huge pit.
"Hiss!"
Seeing the huge crater, Qin Shi couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He was almost certain that Yun Yan hadn't used any spiritual energy, but without any spiritual energy, he'd actually caused such deep damage to the table made of Mysterious Crystal?
"What a terrifying physical body. In less than half a year, this kid has grown so fast." Qin Shi was secretly shocked.
He remembered that although Yun Yan was also very powerful half a year ago, he was only at the Sky Peak Realm. Now, he had reached the Perfected Domain Realm. Such extraordinary talent and cultivation speed were indeed rare.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Qin Shi. Half a year ago, he wasn't a match for Qin Shi. Half a year later, it was even more impossible for him to defeat Qin Shi.
Qin Shi stabilized his body. His shadow swayed continuously and immediately turned into a sky full of afterimages that dissipated.
Yun Yan pulled out his fist and steadied his body. Then, he swung his fist at the empty space behind him at lightning speed.
"Hmph, do you think you can beat me with speed like you did half a year ago?"
Bang!
The wind from Yun Yan's fist immediately caused a violent airflow in the sky.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud sound. In the void, Qin Shi appeared in a panic. Under the pressure of the wind from the fist, he could only bite the bullet and fight back.
Rumble!
Several ravines immediately appeared on the ground. Teng!
Teng! Teng!
Under the huge impact, Qin Shi flew 100 meters away uncontrollably before he stabilized his body.
Yun Yan laughed excitedly. "Haha, hahaha, Qin Shi, Qin Shi, you're too careless. Do you think I've been wasting the past half a year?
Let me tell you, in order to deal with your speed, I've been training crazily for the past half a year. No matter how fast you are now, faster than the wind, I can catch you according to the direction of the wind around you. "
Hearing this, Qin Shi was slightly stunned. He couldn't help but nod in admiration. "Using the perception of the wind?"
This was indeed something Qin Shi hadn't considered.
However, he suddenly smiled. "However, I think the person who's too careless isn't me. It's you."
"Hmm?"
Yun Yan couldn't help but be stunned. At this moment, his eyes widened. A pair of slender hands stretched out from behind him and gently pressed against his neck.
The appearance of the large hands instantly made Yun Yan panic.
"Gulp …!"
For a moment, he didn't even dare to move because every single finger on that pair of large hands was wrapped with a spirit blade that was as sharp as a blade. He didn't even have the slightest doubt that if he dared to move rashly, those sharp blades would behead him at any moment.
From the corner of his eyes, Yun Yan could vaguely see the black sleeves that had been rolled up. His heart violently trembled. Only then did he regain his composure. In front of his eyes, he saw that Qin Shi, who had been sent flying by him, had actually gradually turned into a faintly discernible figure.
