27: Chapter 27 Who Killed Whom?

Under the watchful eyes of the Great Grandmaster, any hint of telepathic transmission or secretive action could lead to failure.

The act must be performed in its entirety.

Moreover, it must be so realistic that even the Great Grandmaster is convinced.

Su Yu took a deep breath.

This seemingly ordinary breath, however, triggered a fit of violent coughing.

"Cough, cough... cough, cough, cough!"

He clutched his chest, a sickly flush rising on his pale face from the violent coughing.

His tottering body seemed ready to collapse like a piece of deadwood at any moment.

Yet, he still reached out a hand.

Gently, he placed it on Lin Xiaoxiao's slender shoulder.

"Classmate Lin."

Su Yu's voice was severely hoarse, sounding like sandpaper rubbing against each other.

"Step aside."

Lin Xiaoxiao trembled all over and turned her head sharply.

Looking at Su Yu, who was so weak that standing required all his strength, her eyes instantly turned even redder.

"Are you crazy?!"

Lin Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip hard, her voice laced with uncontrollable sobbing and anger.

"Don't you know what state you're in!"

"You probably can't even beat an ordinary person right now; what are you going to use to fight that bastard?"

"Get down here! I'll handle the rest!"

As the daughter of a top-tier noble family, Lin Xiaoxiao had countless ways to finish off Zhao Ze afterward.

She even swore viciously in her heart that as long as Su Yu could walk off the arena alive today.

Tonight, Zhao Ze would completely vanish from Jiangcheng!

If she had known this Zhao fellow was so disgusting, she should have sent people to crush him in a sewer three days ago!

However.

Su Yu did not retreat.

The hand he had placed on Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder applied a slight amount of pressure.

Gently pushing her an inch to the side.

Then.

Su Yu looked past Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder, his gaze crossing over the furious Zhao Tianxiong and the grimacing Zhao Ze kneeling on the ground.

It landed straight on Great Grandmaster Lei Potian.

On the arena, there was a deathly silence.

The gazes of the 100,000 people in the audience were all focused on this commoner top scholar who looked like he could die of sudden cardiac arrest at any moment.

"Chairman Lei."

Su Yu spoke.

His voice was not loud, intermittent, yet it echoed clearly throughout the dead-silent venue.

"Just now, Pavilion Master Zhao said... to continue the match."

Su Yu gasped heavily, as if every word he spoke was causing him immense pain.

"I would like to ask for your opinion."

"If I agree to continue."

"Does this match still count?"

Grandmaster Lei Potian looked down at Su Yu from his vantage point.

A trace of extreme surprise flashed through his weathered tiger-like eyes.

He had thought Su Yu would take the opportunity to step down.

After all, just keeping his life was already a stroke of immense luck.

"Are you sure?"

Grandmaster Lei Potian's brows were tightly knit, his voice like a booming bell, carrying an unquestionable pressure.

"Kid, I can see your current state very clearly."

"Your Qi and blood are exhausted, and your Meridians are damaged."

"You are not even as good as an ordinary person."

"If you continue the match, you might not even have the chance to concede; you will be beaten to death on the spot!"

"Besides, you have already won."

"Even if there is a problem, it is my problem to handle, not yours to worry about."

Grandmaster Lei Potian was explicitly advising Su Yu not to act on impulse.

The fall of a Genius was something he was least willing to see.

But Su Yu only managed to pull the corners of his mouth with great difficulty.

"I understand."

Su Yu nodded.

Then.

He raised his dim eyes, looking directly at Grandmaster Lei Potian.

He asked a question that instantly made the scalps of the 100,000 people in the audience tingle and their brains completely shut down.

"Chairman Lei."

"I just want to confirm the rules."

Su Yu's voice was very soft.

"If... in the upcoming match."

"I accidentally kill my opponent."

"That wouldn't be against the law, right?"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a heavy bomb had been dropped on the entire combat arena!

Everyone thought they had misheard!

Dead silence!

You could even hear a pin drop!

A few seconds later.

A collective gasp of cold air erupted from the spectator stands!

"He's crazy! This kid is absolutely crazy!"

"Who does he think he is? Possessed by a Great Grandmaster?"

"A cripple who can't even stand steadily is asking if killing someone is against the law?"

"He must have been driven mentally insane by the trauma!"

Grandmaster Lei Potian was also stunned.

As a dignified Great Grandmaster who had roamed the wilderness for decades, what kind of arrogant juniors had he not seen?

But someone like Su Yu, who was clearly already half a foot into the grave, yet dared to ask such a question so nonchalantly in front of him.

He was the first in history!

Grandmaster Lei Potian scrutinized Su Yu up and down, carefully.

He tried to find a trace of bluffing in Su Yu's eyes.

But, there was none.

Those eyes, although dim, were as deep as a dry well.

Calm as an ancient well.

No fear, no despair, not even any awe of death.

Only a kind of extremely pure, heart-chilling calmness!

"In your current state..."

Grandmaster Lei Potian secretly gasped in his heart.

"You are actually still thinking about killing someone???"

In his heart, he was actually somewhat disdainful.

Thinking that Su Yu absolutely could not do it.

A Martial Artist whose Qi and blood had fallen and who was seriously injured, what could he use to kill a martial arts student with 10.3 Qi and blood who was proficient in Profound Rank Martial Skills?

By headbutting him?

But at the same time, Grandmaster Lei Potian secretly held Su Yu in higher regard.

He really has guts.

He is truly ruthless!

Not just ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself!

The feud between these two, even as an outsider, he could see clearly; it was definitely a situation of life and death.

However.

Grandmaster Lei Potian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Putting aside whether you can actually kill in this state.

I am standing right here!

With a Great Grandmaster as the referee, how do you intend to kill?!

Do you think my 100,000 Qi and blood are just for show?!

"It is not against the law."

Grandmaster Lei Potian pulled back his thoughts and coldly spat out three words.

"In martial arts combat, on the arena, life and death are irrelevant."

"This is the ironclad law of the Great Xia Kingdom."

"As long as the opponent has not shouted their concession, or fallen and cannot get up."

"Whichever side kills them will not bear any legal responsibility."

Grandmaster Lei Potian looked at Su Yu and added very seriously.

"The premise is that you have the ability to do so."

On the other side.

Zhao Ze, who was kneeling on the ground, was completely dumbfounded.

He opened his mouth, staring at Su Yu like an idiot.

His mind was buzzing.

Kill me?

He wants to kill me?!

After a brief moment of shock.

A sense of extreme absurdity and ridiculousness instantly surged into Zhao Ze's heart.

He wanted to laugh.

But he held it in tightly, holding it in until his whole face was twisted and deformed, his shoulders heaving violently.

"Haha... Hahaha!"

Zhao Ze finally couldn't hold it back anymore, erupting into a burst of extremely wild, even somewhat neurotic laughter.

"Kill me? Just by relying on your current ghostly appearance?!"

Zhao Ze climbed up from the ground, pointing at Su Yu, laughing so hard that tears were almost coming out.

"Su Yu, has your brain been flooded with water from the backlash?"

"Do you think that just because you used some bullshit forbidden technique earlier to scare me, you can now reach the heavens?"

"Do it again?"

Zhao Ze gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering with a resentful and cruel light.

"Who kills whom, it really is not known yet, damn it!!!"

And beside Zhao Ze.

Zhao Tianxiong was also dumbfounded.

But after all, he was an old hand in the Jianghu, with much deeper schemes.

He stared fixedly at Su Yu's pale face, calculating frantically in his mind.
