Just as Zhou Heng had expected, after Li Yun's team was interrupted, it was no different from a one-on-one fight even though it was still a 12-on-12 fight.
After all, even if Li Yun's team wanted to use teamwork to exchange opponents, Teng Fei's team would keep an eye on their opponents. Hence, they had no way of using teamwork to exchange opponents and control the situation on the stage.
In a one-on-one fight, Teng Fei's team clearly had the upper hand.
Hence, Li Yun's team did not last long before their disadvantage became obvious.
In particular, Zhou Lei was already injured. Although it wasn't life-threatening, he naturally wouldn't be able to hold on for too long in a head-on battle against an opponent whose strength wasn't lower than his.
Li Yun's team's defeat began here. Zhou Lei was like a gap in a dam. When he was at a disadvantage, his opponent became more and more courageous. After a few rounds, Zhou Lei was taken down first.
When his opponent placed his sword on Zhou Lei's neck, Zhou Lei had no choice but to admit defeat.
Since Zhou Lei had admitted defeat, they naturally could not really kill him. However, he could no longer participate in the battle and could only stay at the side.
Originally, there were 12 people on each side. Now that Zhou Lei had admitted defeat, Li Yun's team was down one person.
Eleven against twelve people, the disadvantage was even more obvious.
The opponent had an extra helper, and one of them had to fight one against two. Under such circumstances, Li Yun's team did not last long before they were all defeated.
On the other side, the battle between Ling Yang and Nie Ping ended with the intervention of Teng Fei's team.
There was no longer any meaning to who won or lost.
"We admit defeat!" Li Yun finally admitted.
Although they had expected such an outcome, it was still difficult for them to accept it when it really came to this.
After all, they were going to face an even more difficult situation.
"Why should we listen to you?" Ling Yang was furious when he found out that he had to kneel down and apologize.
Originally, he was already very unhappy when Teng Fei's team forcefully interrupted his battle with Nie Ping.
Now that the other party wanted them to kneel down and apologize to the citizens of the city, he naturally would not accept it.
He had never regretted what he said in the inn, so he did not feel that he was in the wrong.
"This is a bet we made with your companions. If they lose, they have to kneel down and apologize to us!" Lu Yi said.
"Since they made a bet with you, what does it have to do with me? My opponent is him, and he didn't beat me. Do I need to apologize to you? "Ling Yang sneered.
"Ling Yang! That's enough! "Li Yun stopped him.
The reality was right in front of them. The other party had a lot of people, and they were all very strong. And this was only a fair fight with the same number of people.
If everyone stood up and asked them to apologize, would they still be able to resist?
Ling Yang could only blame himself for being too impulsive. With just one sentence, he had offended everyone in the city. There were so many people, but not a single person would stand on their side.
"Why should I shut up? I'm telling the truth. I didn't make a bet with them that if I lost, I would have to kneel down and apologize to the entire city. "Ling Yang said.
Kneeling and apologizing to the entire city, how could he do such a shameful thing?
If he really knelt down and apologized, how would he be able to face others in the future?
"Ling Yang, if you say that, are you blaming us for making a bet with them?" Zhou Lei said angrily.
He was already very disgusted with Ling Yang's impulsive behavior. If not for him, they wouldn't have made a bet with these people, and he wouldn't have been injured.
Now, this guy actually wanted to shirk responsibility and push all the blame onto them. How could they not be angry?
"I didn't say that. I just feel that this bet wasn't made by me with them. What right do they have to ask me to kneel and apologize?" Ling Yang said matter-of-factly.
"Aren't you still trying to shirk responsibility and ask us to kneel and apologize? You were the one who caused this, so you should be the one apologizing, not us.
Now that we've all been implicated by you, how can you say such a thing? "Zhou Lei said angrily.
"What do you mean by caused trouble? Am I wrong? If these people aren't the dogs of the Cheng Family, why are they so agitated?
I'm not in the wrong, why should I apologize? Furthermore, I didn't ask you to interfere in this matter. I'll handle my own matters! "Ling Yang said indifferently.
"Good! Li Yun, what did I say before? Now, you see, I already said not to bother with his matters. Now, with just one sentence from him, we're being overly sentimental. What do you think we should do? "Zhou Lei was so angry that he didn't want to speak anymore.
If it wasn't for the fact that the current situation was disadvantageous to him, he really wanted to cut off Ling Yang's head with his sword.
Originally, they had a lot of conflicts during this mission, so his relationship with Ling Yang wasn't very good. This was also the reason why he didn't agree to save Ling Yang from the beginning.
Now, as expected, their good intentions were treated as ill intentions, making it seem as if they were in the wrong.
"Ling Yang, all of us made a bet with them to help you. If we didn't make the bet, they would have killed you. For you to say such words, it's really disappointing!" Li Yun was indeed quite disappointed with Ling Yang's words.
He knew that Ling Yang and Zhou Lei had a few conflicts during this mission, but they were still a team after all.
The mission belonged to all of them, not just any one of them.
Now, in order to save him, they had no choice but to make this bet. However, not only did Ling Yang not appreciate it, he even pushed the responsibility onto them.
According to the bet, they had to kneel down and apologize to everyone in the city.
However, fundamentally speaking, this matter had nothing to do with them. Now, Ling Yang wanted them to kneel down and apologize?
This was really too much!
"I've already said that I will solve my own problems. I don't need you to save me. Do they really think that they can kill me just because they want to?
Let me tell you, I, Ling Yang, will take responsibility for my own actions. Although they are my companions, this matter has nothing to do with them.
If you want my life, come and take it, but you have to let them go! "Ling Yang stood up and said loudly to Teng Fei and the people around the battle stage.
"You don't need to put on an act in front of us. No matter what you say, it's useless. Since you are companions, then all of you must kneel down and apologize to the people of Yungui City! "Teng Fei sneered.
He didn't care if these people really didn't get along or were just acting in front of them. As long as they were in the same group, it didn't matter if it was true or false.
What really mattered was whether they were willing to kneel down and apologize.
"Kneel down! Apologize! Kneel down! Apologize! "The people around Teng Fei shouted.
"Kneel down! Apologize! Kneel down! Apologize! "Very quickly, the people outside the battle stage began to shout as well.
Everyone only had one goal, which was to make them kneel down and apologize!
If there were people who didn't believe Ling Yang's words before, then when Ling Yang said those words again, everyone was completely enraged.
After all, most of the people were just there to watch the show. They didn't know the truth of the matter.
However, now that they had personally witnessed Ling Yang's arrogance and insulted them again, how could they tolerate it?
Therefore, these people had to kneel down and apologize no matter what.
Seeing this scene, Ling Yang's heart was filled with anger.
Although he was impulsive, he wasn't stupid. He knew that if everyone here attacked him, he definitely wouldn't be able to win.
However, he couldn't accept kneeling down and apologizing.
Creak!
He clenched his fists tightly and his arms were trembling. He couldn't bring himself to kneel down and apologize to others!
"You have to think this through. You have already lost the bet. If you don't kneel down and apologize to us, then we will really have to kill you! "Teng Fei looked at Ling Yang and said indifferently.
To be honest, he really didn't care about an apology from these people. He was more concerned that these people actually went back on their words in front of him. This was something he couldn't tolerate.
If they didn't fulfill their promise, then what was the point of this battle? Weren't they being played by the other party?
What he hated the most was being played by others. If these people weren't willing to honor their promise, then he had to honor it himself!
Li Yun and the rest had ugly expressions on their faces. Ling Yang's words and actions had undoubtedly angered everyone.
More importantly, Ling Yang's attitude made them feel helpless.
If Ling Yang wasn't willing to kneel down and apologize, then even if they knelt down and apologized, these people obviously had no intention of letting them go.
"Ling Yang, the bigger picture is more important. Do you really want to die here?" Li Yun reminded.
Only by convincing Ling Yang would they be able to effectively resolve this matter. Otherwise, everything would be futile.
Ling Yang didn't say anything. Even though there were so many people present, he still clenched his fists tightly.
He knew that if they really fought, he really wasn't a match for these people. Otherwise, his battle with Nie Ping wouldn't have been forcefully stopped by these people.
"If you really want me to kneel down and apologize, I can agree. However, I still have to say that this matter has nothing to do with my companions.
As long as you promise not to make things difficult for them, I can kneel down and apologize to you! "Ling Yang said in the end.
With these words, he basically compromised. This also allowed Li Yun and the rest to heave a sigh of relief.
At least they knew that Ling Yang wouldn't be stupid enough to really start a war with them. That would really be too irrational.
"You don't have the right to negotiate with me. Since they made a bet with me, then this is no longer just your problem.
