Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 747: Chapter 381: Chu Mingyue, Black Prison Flame Body_2

“Tang Xiu, are you indeed intending to challenge him?” Lin Jingtian raised an eyebrow, his smile heavy with implication.

Tang Xiu, also one of the Heavenly Prides on the Mountain River List, had a strength comparable to that of Lin Jingtian.

The two often sparred, with each claiming victories over the other.

Tang Xiu was slightly stronger, and when fighting, he was like a madman. Lin Jingtian had suffered some losses at his hands; now seeing Tang Xiu wanting to challenge Lu Yun, he became very interested.

Even before, when promoting Lu Yun in front of Tang Xiu without mentioning Lu Yun’s true strength, Lin Jingtian harbored some wicked pleasure.

Tang Xiu shook his head, “No, he has just emerged from the Forbidden Tower, and he’s not at his peak. Under such circumstances, if I still challenge him, I, Tang Xiu, cannot afford to lose that face.”

The Heavenly Prides of the Mountain River List all had their own pride, especially Tang Xiu, with his unwavering pride, he naturally did not want to challenge a Lu Yun who was not at full strength.

However, he vaguely sensed something from Lu Yun and even guessed that Lu Yun must have surpassed the eleventh floor of the Forbidden Tower.

Heavenly Prides on the same level could all detect that slight oddity.

At that moment, Lu Yun appeared exhausted, but beneath that weary frame, he hid immense power.

This was the intuition of the strong.

It was precisely because of this that upon laying eyes on Lu Yun, he felt a strong desire to fight spontaneously surge within him.

While everyone was secretly assessing Lu Yun, Liu Yeqing let out a cold laugh and walked toward Lu Yun.

This scene immediately caused quite a stir.

“It seems that Liu Yeqing still harbors a grudge over the incident three months ago.”

In the crowd, many were aware of the grievances, and when Liu Yeqing took the first step, they knew what was on his mind.

“Although I do sympathize with his situation, I despise the decision to challenge Lu Yun in his current state.”

“Clearly, he feels pressured by Lu Yun, and if he doesn’t act now, he’ll never have another chance.”

Ignoring the comments from around him, Liu Yeqing smiled and approached Lu Yun, stopping three zhang in front of him and saying:

“Lu Yun, you took the only investor opportunity from Steward Huang of the Countless Treasure Tower from my hands. Outsiders think you’re better than me, causing greater harm to my reputation. Today, I challenge you to suppress those rumors and gossip.”

Lu Yun merely lifted his eyelids slightly and responded indifferently.

“I’m not interested.”

It wasn’t that he was too arrogant, but the other party was too weak, weak enough to be crushed effortlessly with a slap.

Liu Yeqing’s expression remained unchanged, the smile still on his face, “Lu Yun, could I take that as you being afraid?”

Lu Yun lifted his eyelids again, his gaze sweeping over Liu Yeqing once more, and said again in a calm tone.

“Sorry, maybe I didn’t make myself clear. You’re too weak; I simply can’t muster any interest.”

Somehow, after being glanced at by Lu Yun, Liu Yeqing felt as if he had been seen through entirely.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Could it be that he has really passed the eleventh floor?” The thought flashed in Liu Yeqing’s mind.

With that thought, his resolve began to waver.

However, remembering his previous plans, he did not want to give up just yet.

Moreover, this was definitely the weakest moment for Lu Yun, the perfect opportunity for him to make his move.

He knew if he didn’t suppress Lu Yun’s momentum now, it wouldn’t be long before Lu Yun caught up to him, or even surpassed him.

By acting now, he could timely suppress Lu Yun’s momentum, causing psychological setbacks, ensuring that Lu Yun could no longer maintain his previous rapid progress.

Even in the extended future, due to this defeat, Lu Yun’s thoughts would not flow smoothly, and his cultivation would inevitably be hindered.

“Lu Yun, if you dare not fight, so be it, but why give such a flimsy excuse.”

Seeing that Lu Yun remained unmoved, Liu Yeqing turned to look at the people in the square and spoke, “Everyone, the grudges between me and Lu Yun, as well as the recent rumors about me, are probably clear to you all.”

“I challenge Lu Yun today not for anything else, but to dispel those rumors and clear my name.”

“Perhaps you wonder in your hearts why I didn’t challenge him earlier or later, but why precisely at this time.”

At this point, he paused for a moment, glanced at Lu Yun, and then his gaze returned to the crowd.

Facing those questioning and disdainful looks, Liu Yeqing spoke earnestly:

“Since three months ago, I have been constantly looking for Lu Yun, aiming to challenge him, to resolve the grudges between us, and to eliminate those spreading rumors.”

“But Lu Yun has been avoiding battle, hiding inside the Myriad Canon Pavilion.”

“Now that I’ve finally cornered him here, if I let him go, who knows when I’ll encounter him again.”

“Therefore, today, no matter what, I must battle him to completely settle the grudges between us.”

Liu Yeqing’s gaze was clear, his words firm, presenting an image of utter frankness.

Hearing this, the discussions among the people in the square polarized.

Some expressed understanding toward Liu Yeqing’s actions.

After all, his predicament was well known to them, having lost the Countless Treasure Tower’s steward investor spot, and privately there were also damaging remarks about his reputation.

Given such circumstances, challenging Lu Yun seemed justified, and blocking Lu Yun at the Forbidden Tower after multiple failed challenges seemed acceptable.
