Not to mention Miao Yi, even the expressions of Yang Qing, Xu Tangran, and the others beside him changed slightly. Even Yan Xiu's gaze flickered slightly. They all felt that Zhan Ruyi's move was a little vicious. If Miao Yi didn't dare to accept the challenge and word got out, it would be a huge blow to the entire Black Tiger Banner.
But more importantly, this woman's cultivation had already broken through to the Colorful Lotus realm. Even though Miao Yi had killed a Colorful Lotus cultivator before, everyone knew that it was mostly due to luck. Moreover, he had relied on the power of the Transcendence Bow. If Miao Yi were to really fight her head on, it would be almost impossible for him to win. On the other hand, the strength that Zhan Ruyi possessed after breaking through to the Colorful Lotus realm was naturally not something an ordinary Colorful Lotus cultivator could compare to.
Miao Yi didn't expect this woman to have such a sinister side to her. She actually escalated her personal grudge to the point where it would affect the reputation of the two Tiger Banners. Back when she was still a Golden Lotus cultivator, she had endured his humiliation outside the East Flower Headquarters Manor. Now that she had broken through to the Colored Lotus realm, she actually resorted to this.
So what if a Colorful Lotus cultivator defeated a Golden Lotus cultivator? However, they had issued a challenge, and the military would not have any objections to this kind of competition. It was up to you to accept it or not.
Miao Yi could refuse, and if he did, Zhan Ruyi wouldn't dare to act recklessly. The Left Supervisory Officer wasn't a place without rules, and Zhan Ruyi couldn't afford to offend him. However, in front of so many people under the Black Tiger Banner, how could Miao Yi refuse? If the difference in their ranks was too great, then Miao Yi could have just rejected her. However, both of them were Great Commanders of the Tiger Banner. Miao Yi was truly in a difficult position.
At this moment, because of Zhan Ruyi's shout, the members of the Six Fingers School popped their heads out from the riverbank and looked over. The soldiers under the Black Tiger Flag also popped their heads out to look over. They were all waiting to see if Miao Yi would accept the challenge.
Miao Yi stared coldly at Zhan Ruyi.
The corners of Zhan Ruyi's mouth curled into a beautiful arc, full of mockery and ridicule.
Their eyes met, one cold, the other mocking.
After staring at each other for a long time, Zhan Ruyi lifted his chin slightly and said arrogantly, "If you are afraid and don't dare to accept the challenge, then say it. As long as you, the Black Tiger Banner's Grand Commander, agree, from now on, the people of the Black Tiger Banner will avoid the people of the Blue Tiger Banner whenever they see them. I'll leave now and definitely won't make things difficult for you! "
She cried out in her heart. After so many years, this was the first time she had forced this guy in front of her into such a state.
She was obviously trying to provoke him. Everyone here could tell what was going on, but the words that came out of his mouth were simply too harsh. He told the Black Tiger Flag soldiers to take a detour when they saw the Blue Tiger Flag soldiers. As a soldier, how could he tolerate such words? This was clearly a friendly provocation. If the Black Tiger Flag really lowered its head, then when it was time to fight for battle achievements or promotions in the future, a single sentence from others would be enough to make them feel ashamed. What right would they have to fight for it? Each and every one of Miao Yi's subordinates were enraged. Even Qu Yahong and Mu Yulian couldn't contain their anger any longer.
"It's just a small matter. There's no need for the commander to take action." The Vice Commander of the Middle Corps, Mao Yujun, stepped forward and said loudly, "Great Commander Zhan, we're both women here. You should get past me first before you challenge our Great Commander. If you can't even get past me, then you should just return as soon as possible." She had a cultivation base at Colored Lotus Second Grade. He did not lack the strength to fight against Zhan Ruyi.
Zhan Ruyi's trusted aide, Kang Daoping, took a step forward. "Commander, she's not your equal. Leave this woman to me."
"Stand down!" Zhan Ruyi bellowed.
Kang Daoping was taken aback. Seeing the ugly expression on her face, he lowered his head and retreated. He felt as though he had done something bad out of good intentions.
To Zhan Ruyi, it was true that he had done something bad out of good intentions. What was her goal today? She wouldn't let anyone change the topic. She stared at Miao Yi and teased, "Since Great Commander Niu doesn't dare to take the lead, fine. Let's start with her. Your Black Tiger Flag can take turns to fight me. I'll take them all on one by one. I'd like to see if there's anyone from the Black Tiger Flag who can stop me. "
She indeed had the strength and confidence to do so. She wouldn't be able to deal with them all at once. If they were to fight one by one, then even if all the Rainbow Lotus cultivators of the Black Tiger Flag came at her one at a time. She wasn't afraid. She had the right to be arrogant.
"Vice Commander Mao, stand down. Let me do it." Yan Xiu suddenly walked out from behind Miao Yi and said sinisterly.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi raised his hand and blocked him. "All of you, stand down. This is a personal grudge between me and Beauty Zhan. It's not your place to interfere. I'll settle it myself."
Yan Xiu turned to look at him, a hint of worry in his eyes. Miao Yi tilted his head at him, signaling him to stand down. Miao Yi believed that if Yan Xiu made a move, then Zhan Ruyi would definitely be in trouble. However, he didn't want Yan Xiu to openly make a move in front of so many people. Furthermore, things had already progressed to this point. If he really backed down now, then as the great commander of the Black Tiger Flag, he wouldn't be able to hold his head high anymore. How could he continue leading the Black Tiger Flag then? This was Zhan Ruyi's viciousness. It was hard to say no even if he wanted to.
Yan Xiu silently backed down. Mao Yujun turned to look at Miao Yi and also backed down slowly with a frown.
Zhan Ruyi continued to tease, "Brother Niu, does this mean you've agreed to fight?"
Miao Yi replied, "Beauty Zhan came all the way here. How could I disappoint you? I'll keep you company."
Zhan Ruyi replied, "Oh! Don't say I'm taking advantage of you. You can pick the place. "
Miao Yi ignored her for the time being. He turned around and transmitted his voice to his subordinates, "Listen up, all of you. Secretly inform your subordinates to get ready. If the situation turns against me, heed my command and immediately slaughter this bitch."
Everyone was shocked. Yang Qing said, "Uncle, the Vice Director-General specifically said that we won't be able to explain ourselves if we kill her."
Miao Yi said, "Then capture her alive. Once we capture her alive, I'll immediately sleep with her. I want to see if I'm the one to be embarrassed, or if she's the one to be embarrassed."
This was a little ruthless! Everyone was speechless. Zhan Ruyi's underhanded move was matched against the Grand Commander's ruthless move. Let's see who would be the unlucky one.
While they were secretly making arrangements, Zhan Ruyi teased again, "Brother Niu, are you making arrangements for your funeral? Don't worry. We're colleagues. It's just a friendly spar to determine the victor. I won't take your life."
Miao Yi couldn't be bothered with her. He continued to give his orders with his back facing her. After he was done, he waved his sleeves and flew straight up into the sky, leaving behind a resounding roar, "If you want to fight, then fight. Don't destroy my private property!"
Below, Xu Tangran waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!" He was the first to follow.
Yan Xiu and the rest of the soldiers immediately took to the skies.
Zhan Ruyi abruptly raised his head and instantly shot up into the sky to give chase. His subordinates followed closely behind.
Within the defensive array, Fei Hong and the rest quickly ran out with anxious expressions and also took to the skies to give chase. Six Fingers School's Sect Master Bai Lan and the rest also followed. They weren't here to watch the show, but to see how it would turn out.
In the starry sky, Miao Yi hovered in the air. He pushed his palm behind him and signaled for his subordinates to retreat.
Xu Tangran waved his hand and escorted the soldiers far away.
Zhan Ruyi flew up to Miao Yi in high spirits. He also pushed his hand back and signaled for his subordinates to retreat.
The two old enemies faced each other. Their gazes met, and Miao Yi's gaze turned cold. Zhan Ruyi's eyes were filled with anticipation and eagerness. He had been longing for this battle to avenge himself for a long time.
Miao Yi suddenly flipped his hand and a set of high-purity red crystal armor appeared on his body. He grabbed and waved his hand, and the Inversed-Scales Spear appeared in his hand with the roar of a dragon.
"Roar!" Charcoal suddenly leaped into the sky and let out a furious roar. He circled around Miao Yi while shaking his head and tail.
Miao Yi made a hand seal and pointed. The collar around Charcoal's neck cracked open and instantly covered his entire body. A ferocious armor covered his body. Charcoal's body pressed down, and then he suddenly rose up again, pushing Miao Yi onto his back.
Zhan Ruyi saw that Miao Yi was wearing this armor that looked like it had grown fur all over his body. He couldn't help but grit his teeth as the scene of him being defeated in one move all those years ago flashed before his eyes.
Zhan Ruyi knew how strong Miao Yi was and didn't dare to be careless. He also waved his hand and a set of high-purity red crystal armor appeared on his body. He raised his spear and asked, "You decide how you want to fight." His tone was filled with confidence.
Miao Yi said, "But I lost to you. How dare I be so arrogant? You can fight however you want. I'll keep you company."
These words were like poking at Zhan Ruyi's scars. Zhan Ruyi's face flushed with anger as she shouted, "I'll let you have three moves first!"
She didn't even bother summoning her mount. In reality, after reaching the Iridescent Lotus realm, a normal spiritual beast mount wouldn't be as fast as her flying speed.
Miao Yi wasn't going to hold back. He suddenly waved his hand and a high-purity red crystal sword over ten feet long suddenly shot out. It let out a howl as lightning crackled around the sword's body. It quickly slashed towards Zhan Ruyi.
Zhan Ruyi narrowed her eyes. She was all too familiar with this Thunderclap Sword. It was her treasure to begin with, and Miao Yi had stolen it. She scoffed, "Good move!"
She flipped her hand and pushed out something that looked like a copper mirror. The engravings around it were exquisite, and it was placed in front of her like a shield.
With a whoosh, the spectators, including Miao Yi, were all stunned.
The instant the Thunderclap Sword struck the copper mirror, there wasn't the explosion everyone expected. The sword only left a ripple on the surface of the copper mirror. Like a stone thrown into water, it instantly sank into the copper mirror. The ripples on the surface of the copper mirror quickly calmed down.
Miao Yi immediately formed a hand seal and invoked his arts. However, he was shocked to find that he had already lost his connection with the Thunderclap Sword. Before he could unleash the full might of the Thunderclap Sword, it had already been subdued by the other party.
Yang Qing and the others who were silently watching the battle were either frowning, pursing their lips, or having a serious expression on their faces. Zhan Ruyi's transcendent artifact was clearly more powerful. Her attacks were extraordinary. As expected of a disciple of a wealthy family.
Holding a spear in one hand and a copper mirror in the other, Zhan Ruyi sneered, "This Thunderclap Sword was originally mine. Today, I shall return it to its rightful owner. I've already let you have one move. There are still two more left. Show me what you've got. If you're too late, you won't have another chance. "
Miao Yi didn't say a word. With a wave of his hand, he abruptly tossed out a gourd. The instant it shot towards Zhan Ruyi, it suddenly spat out a red mist. It looked like a red mist, but in reality, it was a giant red net that spread out and enveloped Zhan Ruyi.
