Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 2053: Chapter 1846: Cheating (Part 2)

They glanced at Shen Lingyun in the seats below, only to see him sitting there calmly, not affected at all by Song Yun’s recent slaying of Shen Han.

It seemed that he didn’t care about the strength Song Yun had displayed.

Shen Lingyun definitely had a powerful trump card!

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao and the other two who were just happy began to worry about Song Yun’s safety.

At that moment, the match between Gu Meng and Lin Xiang on the stage had reached a conclusion.

Their strengths were not much different; Gu Meng took a sword strike just to knock Lin Xiang off the stage.

Although Gu Meng won, he was seriously injured and might not be able to go all out in the following matches.

Next, the martial tournament continued.

The third match, Gu Man versus Lin Jun.

Gu Man was straightforward and honest, Lin Jun was also unwilling to admit defeat.

The battle between the two was very exciting, with neither using tricks; it was entirely a contest of who had deeper background and more solid True Qi.

In the end, Lin Jun had a slight edge in technique, defeating Gu Man.

Although Gu Man lost, he wasn’t discouraged, instead he excitedly praised Lin Jun, and the two were quite amicable.

The fourth match, Dongfang Yun versus Gu Mingyao.

Dongfang Yun was at the peak of SS level, Gu Mingyao was at the later stage of SS level.

Their strengths were quite different.

Just upon stepping onto the stage, Gu Mingyao stuck out her tongue at Dongfang Yun, surrendering and conceding straight away.

The two walked off the stage arm in arm, as close as sisters.

Their graceful figures made many men drool.

Next, the fifth match.

Lu Tiange versus Shen Lingyun!

When the referee announced, the entire arena erupted.

In the first round of ten battles, Lu Tiange had shocked his opponents with a single sword strike, the image of him closing his eyes to rest was still vivid in their minds.

Although Shen Lingyun wasn’t as fierce, he toyed with the other eight apart from Shen Han easily and leisurely.

In the eyes of others, in this Four Schools Martial Tournament, the two of them possessed the top-tier strength.

Their battle was a peak duel, everyone was naturally very much looking forward to it.

The two stepped onto the stage, but oddly, when the referee gave the order, they did not start the fight immediately.

On the stage, they were saying something, their voices were so low others couldn’t hear.

Lu Tiange, with a smile on his face, said, "Shen Lingyun, we have a common enemy, there’s no need to fight to the death and waste our energy first."

Shen Lingyun raised an eyebrow, asking, "You want to kill Song Yun too?"

Lu Tiange’s eyes glinted with a sinister light, "I won’t allow any man to get close to Junior Sister Dongfang, Song Yun’s actions are simply courting death."

Shen Lingyun smirked coldly, saying, "That kid’s strength is indeed not bad. If we fought, it would surely end in mutual destruction. Since that’s the case, we should call it a draw and save our strength to kill Song Yun later."

"That suits me perfectly, I hope I encounter him before you do."

Lu Tiange nodded, the two made an agreement.

Immediately after, they both turned around and walked off the stage.

Seeing this, the entire venue was dumbfounded.

Lu Tiange and Shen Lingyun didn’t even start fighting before they stepped off the stage.

The sudden scene left everyone in a daze.

Wasn’t there supposed to be an exhilarating battle, and it just ended like this?

Even the referee next to them didn’t know how to rule.

Shen Lingyun returned to his seat, sitting down and said indifferently, "This match, let’s call it a draw."

Lu Tiange cupped his hands towards the referee, "Yes, please let Elder Xue make the ruling."

Elder Xue of Changshan frowned slightly but had to announce that the two had drawn.

This outcome was unexpected.

Since the start of the Four Schools Martial Tournament, it wasn’t that there hadn’t been people ending in a draw, but that was because both parties went all out and ended in mutual destruction.

Instances like this, where two people stepped off the stage simultaneously, had never occurred before.

For a while, people didn’t know what Lu Tiange and Shen Lingyun were up to.

However, the SSS level experts on the high platform, with hearing far superior to others, had heard Lu Tiange and Shen Lingyun’s conversation.

Everyone’s eyes unintentionally turned towards Huang Jinseng.

Huang Jinseng was furious, glaring with bulging eyes. While he was betting with the Shen Family, Lu Tiange was thinking of killing Song Yun.

Lu Tiange’s strength was well known to him; killing Song Yun might take some effort, but it could definitely be done.

But if you kill Song Yun today, the entire Changshan will lose a quarter of its resources.

This was simply betraying the sect.

Moreover, if you kill Song Yun, that old lunatic will definitely kill you.

Upon this thought, Huang Jinseng moved swiftly, jumping off the platform and coming next to Lu Tiange, warning, "Tiange, in your battle with Song Yun, it’s fine to defeat him, but do not kill him."

"Master, why is that?"

Lu Tiange looked at Huang Jinseng with confusion on his face.

Huang Jinseng said, "If you kill Song Yun, you won’t survive either. In short, just remember my words."

"Yes, Master."

Lu Tiange responded respectfully.

Huang Jinseng nodded and returned to the high platform.

At this moment, Lu Tiange’s eyes revealed a hint of darkness, and a cold smile curled at his lips as he muttered, "Hmph, once on the stage, if I accidentally kill him, there’s nothing I can do."

...

Lu Tiange and Shen Lingyun drawing the match didn’t cause too much of a stir.

The martial tournament continued, with intense battles driving the crowd wild with excitement.

But they didn’t know that undercurrents were surging beneath the surface.

The high stakes on the platform, Lu Tiange and Shen Lingyun’s murderous intentions, all focused on Song Yun.

Song Yun might not know what Lu Tiange and Shen Lingyun discussed, but since they hadn’t fought, he figured that there’s a good chance the two of them are in cahoots.
