152: Chapter 152: Don't Regret It After You Die

Sun Yue's entire body stiffened as he slowly turned around.

Xiao Yuan looked at him with an expression of playful mockery. "Senior Brother Sun, shouldn't our bet be fulfilled now? What do you think!"

Sun Yue's face turned pale, and he instinctively took half a step back.

He had personally witnessed how Xiao Yuan had treated Chen Yin just moments ago...

It was utterly neat and decisive; he ripped off both of his arms just like that, without even allowing Elder Chen Mo of the Golden Core Stage time to react!

Fight him in the Life-and-Death Arena?

Sun Yue shivered.

Although he was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and Xiao Yuan only appeared to be at the Qi Condensation 9th Layer, this fellow was bizarre! Who knew what hidden cards he still had up his sleeve?

Furthermore, with the Elders of Dan Peak watching from the sidelines, his hands and feet were tied, and he inevitably feared that Xiao Yuan might find an opening to exploit!

Hearing these words, the surrounding crowd all changed their expressions.

"The Life-and-Death Arena? Xiao Yuan wants to fight a Life-and-Death Arena match against Sun Yue?!"

"Is he crazy? Sun Yue is at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"A Qi Condensation 9th Layer Cultivator challenging the Late Foundation Establishment Stage? Isn't this courting death?!"

Even Peak Master Yun Ruowei and several Dan Peak Elders changed their expressions.

They knew Xiao Yuan was formidable at Alchemy, but this was a fight! Qi Condensation fighting Foundation Establishment, a difference of a major Realm—what was this if not sending oneself to death?

Peak Master Yun Ruowei looked toward Yun Qingwan with a questioning gaze in her eyes.

The other Elders also cast their gazes toward Yun Qingwan, the meaning quite obvious... Hurry up and persuade your Disciple not to let him court death!

Yun Qingwan, however, raised an eyebrow, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

She recalled the scene before the Secret Realm when the two Golden Core Elders from the Yinluo Sect and Jing Country came looking for trouble.

The opponents had sworn up and down that Xiao Yuan had slaughtered all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of their two major factions.

A Qi Condensation 9th Layer Cultivator wiping out dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators?

Either this kid had concealed his cultivation, or his combat power was terrifyingly astonishing.

She looked toward Xiao Yuan and saw that her Disciple wore an indifferent expression, the corners of his mouth even carrying a trace of an imperceptible smile... That was the expression of a hunter watching his prey step into a trap.

Yun Qingwan smiled.

"Senior Sister Yun, you should quickly persuade him!" An Elder grew anxious.

Yun Qingwan waved her hand. "Since my Disciple wants to fight this Life-and-Death Arena match, as his Master, I naturally support him."

That Elder widened her eyes. "Support? Isn't that sending him off to die?!"

Yun Qingwan smiled slightly, overflowing with charm. "Sending himself to die? Heh... Just who is sending themselves to die is not yet certain."

The Elders: "..."

The way they looked at Yun Qingwan was like looking at a madwoman.

The Disciple had gone mad, and the Master had gone mad too?

Hearing these words, Sun Yue's expression shifted slightly.

He had originally been hesitating; after all, this group of women from Dan Peak were overly protective of their own. If he really beat Xiao Yuan to death, would they come looking for trouble with him?

But Yun Qingwan's words clearly indicated she didn't care about whether Xiao Yuan lived or died at all!

Then what did he have to fear?

A murderous intent flashed in Sun Yue's eyes, and he was just about to speak...

A cold voice suddenly rang out:

"Since Junior Nephew Xiao insists on fighting this Life-and-Death Arena match, then Yue'er will accompany you in the fight."

The crowd all turned their gazes simultaneously toward the source of the voice.

From the back of the crowd, an old man in gray robes walked out slowly.

Mid Golden Core Stage Peak! His aura was as deep as an abyss!

Sun Rui!

Sun Yue's grandfather!

Seeing his own grandfather, Sun Yue's eyes instantly lit up, and his spine straightened as well.

Sun Rui walked to Sun Yue's side, staring coldly at Xiao Yuan, his eyes filled with biting chill.

"However, this old man will state the ugly truth beforehand—if Yue'er accidentally beats you to death, don't regret it."

These words were spoken casually, but anyone could hear the intent to kill behind them.

Xiao Yuan looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"Elder Sun, rest assured, I never regret anything. As long as you don't regret it, that's enough..."

Hearing this, a trace of disdain and mockery flashed across Sun Rui's face, and he did not reply!

With his grandfather backing him up, Sun Yue's confidence instantly skyrocketed. He stepped forward, the corners of his mouth curling into a smug smile.

"Xiao Yuan, since you want to fulfill our bet, then I will play with you to the end."

He had wanted to kill Xiao Yuan for a long time; the reason he hadn't dared to agree earlier was because nobody was backing him up. Now that his grandfather had arrived, what the hell was there for him to fear!

However, in order to be able to let loose more freely, he cast a bland gaze toward Yun Qingwan and the others, speaking in a sarcastic tone, "However, since it is a Life-and-Death Arena match, life and death are up to fate. In case my hand is too heavy and I beat you to death, nobody better come looking for trouble afterward to settle accounts."

These words were obviously meant for the Dan Peak Elders to hear. The meaning was very clear: you all better not interfere!

Several Dan Peak Elders changed their expressions and cast their gazes toward Yun Qingwan one after another.

Yun Qingwan, however, was unhurried and smiled faintly, a smile so beautiful that people couldn't look away.

"Sun Yue, rest assured. As long as you have the ability to beat my Disciple to death, I will never come looking to settle accounts."

She paused, her smile growing even brighter. "However, if you die... I hope your grandfather won't come looking to settle accounts either."

Speaking this, her voice carried a hint of overbearing chill as she continued, "Otherwise... don't blame this seat... for being ungracious!"

Sun Yue was stunned and looked toward Sun Rui.

Sun Rui frowned and let out a cold humph. "This old man's words count. If Yue'er is inferior in skill and dies on the arena stage, this old man will never pursue the matter."

Finishing his words, he looked toward Xiao Yuan with eyes full of mockery.

A Qi Condensation 9th Layer Cultivator beating a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to death? What kind of joke is that?

Xiao Yuan met his gaze, his smile remaining the same.

"Then it's settled."

He turned his head to look at Peak Master Yun Ruowei. "Peak Master, please lend me an arena."

Peak Master Yun Ruowei glanced at him, then looked at Yun Qingwan, and finally nodded.

"The Dan Peak martial arts arena can be used at any time."

Xiao Yuan cupped his fists in thanks and turned to walk outside the door.

Walking to the doorway, he looked back at Sun Yue.

"Senior Brother Sun, I'll wait for you at the martial arts arena. Don't make me wait too long."

Having said that, he strode away.

Sun Yue sneered and followed closely behind.

The surrounding crowd boisterously followed along, all wanting to witness this good show of "Qi Condensation fighting Foundation Establishment."

Inside the Alchemy Hall, there were soon only several Dan Peak Elders left.

Peak Master Yun Ruowei looked at Yun Qingwan with deeply furrowed brows. "Qingwan, what on earth are you thinking? Your Disciple is courting death!"

Yun Qingwan shook her head and smiled mysteriously.

"Peak Master, do you think a Disciple capable of refining a Medicinal Pill surpassing the perfection grade would be a fool?"

Peak Master Yun Ruowei was taken aback.

Yun Qingwan continued, "Since he dares to make this bet, he must have certainty. As for us, we'll just sit back and watch a good show."

Speaking up to this point, her voice abruptly turned cold. "What you should be thinking about is whether Sun Rui will be driven to desperation if my Disciple beats that Sun Yue to death!"

After saying this, she also walked toward the martial arts arena.

Peak Master Yun Ruowei and the other Elders were all stunned upon hearing this, looking at Yun Wanqing with bewildered expressions, all thinking they had misheard?

What did you say?! Saying your Disciple will beat Sun Yue to death! Am I not awake, or have you been dreaming the whole time!

But watching Yun Wanqing's figure as she walked away without even turning her head, everyone was somewhat dumbfounded. She... was she really that confident in her own Disciple? This was simply preposterous.

Sending her Disciple off to die like this!

Yet what could they say? The Disciple belonged to her, not them! If it were their Disciple, they would definitely rack their brains to stop him and would never let Xiao Yuan take such risks.

Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou exchanged glances, making their resolve to snatch this Disciple over even firmer!

Immediately afterward, the several Dan Peak Elders looked at each other in dismay and quickly followed along.
