268 Why Not Kneel?
Liu Wenyuan had wanted to test his apprenticeâs judgment, but he didnât expect to attract so much resistance.
He immediately took a step forward and cupped his hands at the crowd.
âThis is only my discipleâs opinion. Perhaps it canât be compared to everyoneâs insight. I hope everyone can forgive us!â
At this moment, someone whispered a few words into Yan Mengtangâs ear.
!!
When Yan Mengtang looked at Liu Wenyuan again, his gaze became more serious.
âSo youâre Liu Wenyuan, the one who fought a bloody battle in Jiangdong?â
Liu Wenyuan cupped his fists at him. âYes, I am.â
Yan Mengtang nodded slightly.
âAlthough I admire your strength and character, your disciple has spoken arrogantly many times. If I donât punish him, it would be a little unreasonable, right? Just let him watch the battle from the audience stands outside.â
Liu Wenyuan didnât give in. âThe result is not out yet. How do you know my disciple is wrong?â
The moment he said that, he once again attracted the hatred of everyone present.
âWhat does he mean by that? Does he also think that Senior Brother Fang will lose?â
âLike disciple, like master. Youâre both short-sighted.â
âIâve heard of Liu Wenyuanâs name before, but Iâm greatly disappointed to see him today.â
âI really doubt whether his bloody battle in Jiangdong was true or not.:
âIâm also a little suspicious. How could he defeat the experts of the Seven Kingdoms with such a level of vision?â
âI guess itâs just rumors? Itâs really not as good as its reputation!â
Hearing the crowdâs complaints about Liu Wenyuanâ¦
Yan Mengtang also stared at him with some displeasure. âMr. Liu, are you really going to risk your reputation for a child who speaks without thinking?â
Liu Wenyuan looked him in the eye. âIâm willing to take responsibility for my discipleâs words. If Fang Yiming wins in the end, Iâm willing to kneel down and apologize to everyone.â
The originally excited crowd immediately fell silent.
Liu Wenyuanâs bet was no small matter.
He had a certain reputation in the martial arts world.
If it wasnât for the fact that he had been living in seclusion for the past few years and didnât really care about the martial arts worldâ¦
His prestige would definitely be even higher.
Today, he was also qualified to sit on the sofa.
If such a person was willing to kneel and apologize to them, it would probably be worse than killing him.
What else could they say?
Yan Mengtang nodded. âAlright. If Fang Yiming is defeated, Iâm willing to apologize to your disciple in public.â
Liu Wenyuan turned his head to look at the ring and let out a long sigh.
âI wish Fang Yiming can win and restore the dignity of the Chinese martial arts world. If thatâs the case, why should I, Liu Wenyuan, not kneel?â
Everyone was moved.
They all turned their gazes back to the ring.
At this moment, Fang Yiming launched another round of attacks.
And it was even more intense than the last time.
But just like what Ye Feng had saidâ¦
The previous time, it was because Duan Jiangliu had underestimated his enemy that Fang Yiming managed to find a loophole.
At this moment, Duan Jiangliu was paying attention.
It was impossible for Fang Yiming to replicate his previous success.
The two of them had only exchanged two moves.
Fang Yiming was caught by Duan Jiangliuâs weak point in his defense and was kicked in the chest.
Shua, shua, shuaâ¦
Fang Yiming took a few steps back.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
âAhâ¦â
The audience that was originally cheering immediately exclaimed.
âFang Yiming, be careful!â
âDonât worry. Fang Yiming is the number one genius in Zhonghai City. He wonât lose.â
âThatâs right. He was just careless just now. Heâll immediately launch a counterattack.â
âJapanese, wash your neck and die!â
Just as everyone was cheeringâ¦
Fang Yiming attacked again.
This time, it was even worse.
Just as he rushed up, before he could do anything, his defense was broken by Duan Jiangliu.
...
With a back throw, he landed heavily on the ground.
Pfftâ¦
Fang Yiming spat out a mouthful of blood.
Duan Jiangliu didnât take the chance to attack either.
Instead, he looked down at him. âAdmit defeat and I wonât kill you.â
Fang Yiming smiled.
He crawled up from the ground with difficulty.
âAgain!â
After he finished speaking, he rushed toward Duan Jiangliu again.
Duan Jiangliu did not show any mercy.
He immediately kicked him.
...
It landed heavily on his face.
Fang Yiming drew an arc in the air and landed heavily on the ground.
He was dying.
Duan Jiangliu looked at him with a grave expression. âI really donât want to kill you. Just admit defeat.â
The live audience couldnât take it anymore.
They all shouted.
âStop fighting, just admit defeat.â
âYeah, if you continue, youâll die.â
âIsnât it just a competition? A loss is a loss.â
âThatâs right. As long as thereâs life, thereâs hope. Go back and practice. Come back for revenge in the future.â
âHurry up and admit defeat, Iâm begging you.â
Amidst the cheers of the crowdâ¦
Fang Yiming struggled a few times.
He finally got up from the ground.
But he had no strength to stand up again.
He just knelt on the stage.
His originally delicate and pretty face had become distorted.
Blood mixed with saliva flowed out of his mouth.
âAgain⦠Come!â
He stared at Duan Jiangliu and spoke weakly.
Duan Jiangliuâs face revealed deep respect as he bowed slightly to him.
âYou are a warrior worthy of respect. Fang Yiming, I will remember your name.â
After he finished speaking, he directly smacked his head.
Pfftâ¦
Fang Yiming spat out another mouthful of blood.
His gaze became unfocused.
Plop!
He fell onto the stage.
Blood flowed across the arena.
It was particularly eye-catching.
The No. 1 genius of the martial arts world in Zhonghai City had fallen.
This was the first Chinese martial artist to die in Duan Jiangliuâs trip to China.
It was also the first time that he felt a sense of deep respect.
From Fang Yiming, Duan Jiangliu could see the glory of the martial dao that China once had.
But todayâ¦
This kind of glory had long become the afterglow of the setting sun.
For a martial artist like this, who was truly hot-bloodedâ¦
It was already a rare sight!
