At this moment, Senior Brother Cheng's face was filled with shock. It was as if he had seen a ghost, and he didn't even give his most favorite evaluation.
It was the first time the two female disciples of the Brushing Willow Sect had seen such an expression on their senior brother's face. However, they didn't dare ask too many questions when they saw the other deep in thought.
After the great battle, the arena was destroyed once more. Fortunately, the five great clans were already prepared this time. After stopping for an hour, the fighting stage returned to its original state. This meant that the competition could continue.
"Lin Dongpeng, your time has come!"
At this moment, the last person left in the Beilin clan's camp, Lin Yangcheng, had a cold smile on his face.
After that, he leaped up onto the arena and directly issued a challenge to Lin Dongpeng!
Those who'd stayed in Five Woodlands City for a long time knew that Lin Dongpeng and Lin Yangcheng were old enemies.
Almost every year, the two of them were on par with each other. Almost every time, victory or defeat was decided by a small gap of half a move.
It was precisely this similarity in strength that made the relationship between the two very delicate. Neither was willing to submit to the other, but neither dared to do anything to the other.
As time went on, a deep grudge had accumulated between the two.
Therefore, the two of them would fight at the end of every year's competition!
This year, however, the crowd noticed something strange in Lin Yangcheng's expression. It didn't mean that the two of them had reconciled. On the contrary, Lin Yangcheng's expression was cold and murderous.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that some kind of conflict had broken out between the two, and that their relationship had deteriorated rapidly.
In other words, it was very likely that a true battle would break out between the two of them today!
On the other hand, Lin Dongpeng of House Donglin wasn't going to back down now that he'd run into an old enemy. He accepted the challenge and walked to the center of the arena.
"I demand that the battle between me and Lin Dongpeng be upgraded to a fight to the death!"
Lin Yangcheng said with a cold sneer on his face.
The crowd's guess was correct. Lin Yangcheng wanted to upgrade the battle!
Unfortunately, his demand would soon be denied.
The reason for the rejection was also very simple. In other words, Lin Yangcheng and Qin Yi had already agreed to a life and death battle. As a high-class competition, a direct descendant genius could only have one life and death battle.
This rule was to ensure the integrity of the line-up of the direct descendants of the five great clans and maintain the balance. Secondly, it was to prevent people from using their own strength and trump cards to kill the geniuses of other clans.
Of course, this was not the main reason!
The real reason was that the patriarch of House Donglin, Lin Xiao, did not agree to a duel to the death!
He was a smart man. He would never put his own son in danger because of a personal dispute or a matter of losing face.
After what happened last time, Lin Xiao already understood that Lin Yangcheng would definitely not let the matter rest!
If Lin Dongpeng was given the opportunity, he would definitely kill Lin Dongpeng at all costs!
What's more, Qin Yi would definitely fight Lin Yangcheng after their battle. He was well aware of Qin Yi's strength.
Since victory was already within his grasp, there was no need to worry about losing face and increasing his own losses.
"Lin Dongpeng, don't tell me you're going to be like them, a coward?"
Lin Yangcheng glared at Lin Dongpeng in exasperation, gnashing his teeth.
Lin Dongpeng shrugged. "I've already left your life for someone else. Although I, Lin Dongpeng, am not a straightforward person, I still understand the principle of first come, first served, and helping others achieve their goals. So, no matter what you say today, I will not fight you to the death! "
Lin Dongpeng was so angry that he was about to stomp his feet! He looked at the indifferent face in front of him, which even had a hint of sympathy on it. He wished he could rush up and give him two hard kicks in the face!
"Do you think I have no way to deal with you if you don't accept a duel to the death?"
Lin Yangcheng quickly reined in his emotions and said darkly, "Even if you don't accept a duel to the death, I have ways to make you wish you were dead!"
Lin Dongpeng laughed heartily and said nonchalantly, "Brother Yangcheng, you sure are interesting. It's only been a few days since we last met, but your ability to talk big has already reached such a level. I can only say that I'm impressed! "
Lin Yangcheng's eyes widened and he could no longer conceal the murderous intent in them.
"Let the battle begin!"
Following the judge's order, Lin Yangcheng attacked Lin Dongpeng first.
His first move was a killing move. It was obvious that he hated Lin Dongpeng to the bone and wanted nothing more than to tear Lin Dongpeng to pieces!
However, Lin Dongpeng was an expert who could fight him to a standstill after so many years. He had a good understanding of Lin Yangcheng's moves.
Therefore, no matter how ferocious Lin Yangcheng's attacks were, Lin Yangcheng was able to counter them with ease.
Both of them were top geniuses in their respective clans. In addition to the tense relationship between the Donglin and Beilin clans, both clans had prepared top-notch treasures for them.
Lin Yangcheng had originally planned to borrow the power of the treasures to kill Lin Dongpeng. He didn't think that no matter how powerful the treasures he brought out, Lin Dongpeng would be able to counter them with treasures of equal value.
Though the battle between the two was intense, it was difficult to determine a winner.
This battle lasted for several hours. Both of them had used up a lot of energy, and there were many wounds on their bodies.
"Stop!"
Just then, a cold voice came from the sky, "If you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to determine a winner in a year and a half. Since neither of you can win, why don't we end this in a draw. "
Lin Yangcheng wanted to argue when he heard this. Sadly, he was an arrow at the end of its flight. If he continued to fight, his body would only be unable to take it.
Though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept this result.
Both sides retreated and the winner did not increase!
At this time, Qin Yi stepped out and stopped Lin Yangcheng, who was about to leave the stage. He said, "Shouldn't we end things between us? I still have your God's Golden Body with me. "
The result of a draw made Lin Yangcheng very angry. Now that he saw Qin Yi, his anger surged!
"Fine! Today, either you die or I die! "
