Ye Feifei was the young mistress of the Ye family, one of the five major families in Muyun City.
Su Wuchen, on the other hand, was the strongest among the younger generation in Muyun City.
Several years ago, his martial talent was discovered by an Elder from the Luo Tian Sect. Before leaving, the Elder gave him a Token and told him he could use it to go to the Luo Tian Sect and become a disciple.
This was the Tianhe Dynasty, which had five of the strongest sect powers within its borders.
The Luo Tian Sect was one of them.
The five major families of Muyun City were like ants before the Luo Tian Sect, insignificant and not worth mentioning.
If Su Wuchen could be favored by the Luo Tian Sect Elder and become a disciple, he would be able to rise through the ranks and achieve great success.
Therefore, to curry favor with Su Wuchen, the heads of the other four major families in Muyun City all wanted to marry their daughters to him.
But Su Wuchen wasn't interested in any of that.
However, Su Zheng, Su Wuchen's grandfather, took a liking to Ye Feifei, the beautiful young lady of the Ye family.
Su Zheng made a decision for Su Wuchen, arranging for Su Wuchen and Ye Feifei to become betrothed.
Ye Feifei thus became Su Wuchen's fiancee.
At this moment, seeing Ye Feifei, Su Wuchen smiled and said, "Feifei, what are you doing here?"
Ye Feifei, however, had a blank expression, and her tone was indifferent. "Su Wuchen, are you really going to have a life-or-death battle with Su Yang?"
Su Wuchen nodded. "That's right."
Ye Feifei sighed softly and said, "Well then, in that case, I hope our engagement will be called off!"
The announcement caused an uproar.
"Ye Feifei is calling off the engagement at a time like this? That's just too much!"
"Ugh, back then, the head of the Ye family practically begged for a betrothal between Su Wuchen and Ye Feifei. And Ye Feifei at the time kept calling Su Wuchen 'Brother Wuchen.' But now that she knows Su Wuchen is a cripple, Ye Feifei has dropped the act. That woman is truly realistic…"
Ye Feifei ignored the slightly accusatory murmurs of the crowd, not caring in the slightest.
Su Wuchen, however, dropped the smile from his face. "Ye Feifei, are you really breaking off the engagement?"
"That's right!"
Ye Feifei confirmed, "Su Wuchen, this might be cruel to you, but I, Ye Feifei, am the number one beauty in Muxun City. Naturally, I won't marry a cripple like you. Moreover, you're also a dead man walking. So, I hope you understand, let's just dissolve our engagement!"
Su Wuchen's expression was blank, but he knew Ye Feifei was certain he'd be killed by Su Yang today, which was why she chose to break off the engagement now.
He said, "Fine, since you want to end the engagement, I'll grant your wish!"
Although Ye Feifei was pretty, in Su Wuchen's eyes, she wasn't even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as Empress Feng Yao. Besides, he didn't have any romantic feelings for Ye Feifei.
So, he didn't feel any attachment to this engagement. Then, he took out a piece of paper, their marriage contract.
Under everyone's gaze, he tore the contract to shreds and threw it on the ground. "Alright, the contract is void. Our engagement is completely over."
"You…"
Looking at the shredded contract, Ye Feifei's expression flashed with anger.
She was the number one beauty in Muxun City!
Shouldn't Su Wuchen be begging her not to break off the engagement, now that she's done so?
But why did Su Wuchen agree so quickly? Could it be that Su Wuchen never liked her at all?
Thinking this, she felt her pride wounded!
Her face turned ugly, and she turned to look at Su Yang on the life-and-death arena, saying, "Young Master Su, my engagement with Su Wuchen has been annulled. Are you… willing to marry me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene erupted in an uproar again. No one expected that Ye Feifei would turn around and want to marry Su Yang right after breaking off her engagement with Su Wuchen!
This was clearly a blatant attempt to humiliate Su Wuchen in public, to make him feel ashamed!
"Good! I agree to marry you!"
Su Yang was overjoyed, and he agreed without hesitation.
He had long been coveting Ye Feifei's beauty.
Now that he agreed to marry Ye Feifei,
not only could he take the beautiful woman home, but he could also publicly humiliate Su Wuchen.
Why wouldn't he do such a thing?
Ye Feifei then said to Su Wuchen, "Su Wuchen, the current Su Yang is better than you. Don't blame me for transferring to Su Yang. Birds choose the best trees to roost in. I'm just making the right decision that any normal woman would make."
She stared at Su Wuchen, wanting to see anger on his face.
But Su Wuchen remained calm, saying, "Ye Feifei, our engagement is already broken. It has nothing to do with me who you want to marry. However, are you sure you want to marry Su Yang?"
Ye Feifei chuckled, "Heh, I knew you were just pretending to be calm just now. What, are you jealous that I said I want to marry Su Yang? But it's no use being jealous. I just want to marry Su Yang, do you have any objections?"
Su Wuchen shook his head slightly, "Of course I have no objections, but I didn't expect you would want to marry a dying man."
Ye Feifei's face darkened, "You… what do you mean?"
Qin Xingchen sneered, "What I mean is, today… Su Yang will die!"
Ye Feifei was taken aback, then scoffed, "You mean… you can kill Su Yang? Su Wuchen, can you stop exaggerating? Do you think you're still the number one genius of Muyun City? You're just a useless nobody now, and you dare to claim you'll kill Su Yang? Are you crazy?"
Su Wuchen didn't bother to argue with Ye Feifei. Instead, he stepped forward and walked onto the life-and-death arena.
Su Xu's expression was unsightly.
He hadn't expected that Zhang Hu, who had a Blood Essence Realm fifth level cultivation, couldn't kill Su Wuchen!
He couldn't help but wonder: Does Su Wuchen have some kind of life-saving method?
That's right.
It must be like this!
Otherwise, how could a useless waste with no cultivation leave Zhang Hu unharmed?
However, he didn't know that Zhang Hu was already dead in the wilderness.
Su Wuchen looked at Su Xu and said, "Patriarch, why do you look so awful now that I've appeared? Could it be that you've done something shady and are feeling uneasy?"
A flicker of panic crossed Su Xu's face, and he angrily said, "You… what nonsense are you talking about! Su Wuchen, don't be so smug. Today, my son Su Yang will surely take your life, hmph!"
He then looked at everyone, "Everyone, in a life-or-death battle, fate is in the hands of the heavens, and no one can be blamed. Please help bear witness. Finally, I declare the life-or-death battle… officially begins!"
After speaking, he retreated.
On the life-and-death arena stood only Su Wuchen and Su Yang.
Su Yang sneered, "Su Wuchen, you were so arrogant before, and now you're pathetic. Even your fiancée wants to marry me. Don't you feel like a weakling, useless? But don't worry, after I kill you, I'll marry your fiancée and take good care of her, haha…"
Su Wuchen, however, said, "Su Yang, you only try to find a sense of superiority by coveting what I don't want. Since you like picking up second-hand goods so much, consider it a gift from me."
"You…" Su Yang's face flushed with anger.
Su Wuchen's words were truly cutting!
Even Ye Feifei, not far away, had a face ashen with anger.
She was the number one beauty in Muxun City, but Su Wuchen had called her second-hand goods.
How could she bear this?
She really wished Su Yang would hurry up and kill Su Wuchen so she could feel better!
"Su Wuchen, you're courting death!"
Su Yang was furious, and the spiritual energy in his body erupted violently.
Blood Essence Realm, Sixth Heaven!
He said proudly, "Su Wuchen, I broke through last night, didn't expect that, huh? Haha…"
Everyone was shocked.
"Su Yang actually broke through to the Blood Essence Realm, Sixth Heaven. Now… I'm afraid Su Wuchen has no chance of winning!"
"As expected of the young master of the Qin family. Although he's not as good as the former Su Wuchen, his talent is still remarkable!"
...
Hearing the praise from the crowd, Su Yang didn't feel pleased; instead, he was angered.
He hadn't expected that in everyone's eyes, his talent was still inferior to Su Wuchen's!
He glared at Su Wuchen and said, "Su Wuchen, today I will make everyone know that I, Su Yang, am the number one genius of the Su family! And you, this trash, will surely die!"
With that, his figure seemed to transform into a gust of wind, rushing towards Su Wuchen fiercely.
He spread his right hand, and spiritual energy gathered in his palm, forming a fist that emitted the aura of flames. "You have no cultivation left. Let's see how you'll take my Flame Fist!"
On the Tianhuang Continent, the levels of cultivation techniques and martial skills are divided into Mortal Rank, Earth Rank, Spirit Rank, Heaven Rank, Sect Rank, Emperor Rank, Immortal Rank, and Honored Rank…
Each rank is further divided into four sub-levels: Low-grade, Mid-grade, High-grade, and Top-grade.
This Flame Fist technique belonged to the Earth Rank, low-grade martial skills, and was one of the two strongest martial skills of the Su family, only accessible to the higher-ups.
If Su Yang, with his Blood Essence Realm, sixth layer cultivation, were to use the Flame Fist, its power would be enough to match an attack from a Blood Essence Realm, seventh layer expert.
At this moment, Su Yang charged in front of Su Wuchen and threw a punch!
Facing Su Yang's menacing punch, Su Wuchen remained calm. He sidestepped, easily dodging Su Yang's attack.
"How is that possible!"
Su Yang was stunned.
At the same time!
Su Wuchen slapped out, landing a heavy blow on Su Yang's face.
Slap!
"Argh!"
Su Yang cried out in pain, his body flying backwards and crashing heavily to the ground, looking quite disheveled.
