Chapter 1907: Crocodile Tears

At that moment, the crowd below stood in stunned silence, eyes wide and mouths agape, all fixed intently on the Destiny Arena. No one could comprehend what had just transpired in that brief, fleeting instant.

A swirl of dust rose up on the arena, infused with a flickering purple light that instantly disrupted everyone’s view.

Chen Jian had been so arrogant moments before. As the dust finally settled, the crowd was shocked to see him lying on the ground now, his body convulsing.

His limbs hung limp and powerless, while frothy blood mixed with vomit spilled from his mouth.

Beneath him, a pool of blood slowly spread, seeping across the stone floor of the arena and staining it deep red.

All happened in less than the span of three minutes. What on earth had just happened?

At this moment, the same question echoed in the minds of every onlooker.

Their gazes instinctively shifted in unison toward the young man standing nearby.

He stood there, serene and untouched, exuding an otherworldly elegance. It was as if he had emerged from moonlight itself, a figure of pure, untainted grace.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, this seemingly delicate and graceful young man had rendered Chen Jian, a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, utterly defenseless.

A cold, ruthless smile played at the corner of Xi Yue’s lips as she stepped forward.

From below the arena, Chen Hongsen let out a terrified scream, “Xi Yue, what are you planning? If you dare kill my nephew, neither my family nor my brother will ever let you go!”

Xi Yue now stood over the convulsing Chen Jian, a cold smile on his face. “Didn’t Chen Jian just say that once a contract is signed on the Destiny Arena, life and death are no longer bound by rules? What’s the matter—can’t handle it now that it’s your turn?”

Chen Jian trembled as he forced his eyes open to look at Xi Yue, muttering in terror, “Don’t kill me… please, don’t…”

Before he finished speaking, Xi Yue kicked him away.

A sharp crack echoed as two of Chen Jian’s ribs shattered, drawing an even more harrowing scream from him as he tumbled heavily off the arena.

Chen Hongsen rushed over in a panic, quickly helping his nephew to his feet.

He then noticed his nephew’s limp, unresponsive limbs. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his face twisted in agony as he let out pitiful cries of pain.

Seeing his nephew in this half-dead state, Chen Hongsen trembled with rage, glaring fiercely at Xi Yue. “Fine! Very well, Xi Yue, you’ve got guts! Do you even realize who you’ve crossed? Chen Jian is my brother Chen Hongan’s son, and my brother is an esteemed instructor at Heavenly Medicine Valley. Offend him, and you can forget about ever surviving here again!”

Standing above him on the platform, Xi Yue looked down and said, “Instead of wasting time threatening me, you’d better get your nephew treated. Don’t say I didn’t warn you—miss the critical treatment window, no one will be able to save him.”

Chen Hongsen sneered, “Spare me your crocodile tears.”

After all, he was a Medical Master. Despite the severity of Chen Jian’s injuries, they were merely superficial wounds. If he couldn’t treat them, he’d be unworthy of his title as a doctor.

“Mark my words, Xi Yue,” he snarled. “One day, the Chen Family will come after you to settle this score—with interest.”

With that, he ordered his men to carry off the unconscious Chen Jian without hesitation and swiftly departed.

Xi Yue’s lips curled into a faint, mocking smile as a glint of derision flickered in his eyes. He knew his warning had been ignored. Hopefully, when the time came, Chen Hongsen and his brother wouldn’t be drowning in regret.

But as for scum like that, she’d offered her warning once—that was more than enough. Did they really think she’d bother to warn them a second time?

Ignoring the crowd’s gasps, murmurs, and attempts to approach her, Xi Yue carefully carried Anling Yao onto her back and quickly left the area.
