The arrival of the Wind King Valley's martial artists brought a slight sense of relief to Murong Kai's uneasy heart.
Lan Baizhi swept her gaze across the Wind King Valley martial artists, her eyes showing undisguised disdain and contempt.
She spoke to Murong Kai, "Do you think sheer numbers can protect you?"
Hearing this, Murong Kai's face contorted, looking as ugly as could be!
At this moment, Fang Zheng'ao spoke, "Qin Yi, Valley Master Murong, if you have something to discuss, you can sit down and talk. There's no need for such a big commotion!"
Clearly, as someone from the Order Hall, Fang Zheng'ao did not wish for a conflict between Qin Yi and Wind King Valley, and wanted to play the role of a peacemaker.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yi retorted, "He wants my life. Squad Leader Fang, how magnanimous do you expect me to be, that I should sit down and talk with him?"
"..."
Fang Zheng'ao was rendered speechless.
Xue Qiao'er gave Fang Zheng'ao a look and subtly shook her head.
Fang Zheng'ao received the message, pondered for a moment, and said again, "Qin Yi, you have grievances with Valley Master Murong, you can resolve them! But don't go too far and cause overly severe consequences!"
"Rest assured, Squad Leader Fang. The wronged will find their culprit, and the owner will be found. I am only here to find Valley Master Murong today!" Qin Yi said calmly. "As long as others don't provoke me, I won't harm them!"
"Alright!"
Fang Zheng'ao and Xue Qiao'er retreated to the side, showing no intention of saying anything further.
Seeing this, Murong Kai was both angry and helpless. At this moment, he wished Fang Zheng'ao and Xue Qiao'er would stand by him and help him deal with Qin Yi!
But with them stepping aside and not getting involved, he was also powerless, with no other options.
A moment later, as Lan Baizhi was about to say something to Murong Kai, Qin Yi stopped her and said, "Senior Sister Lan, let me handle this myself! I can deal with him on my own!"
Previously, Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman had blocked bullets for him and helped him capture One-Eyed. He himself hadn't exerted any effort!
Since he was capable of handling Murong Kai himself, there was no need for Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman to constantly shield him.
"Okay, Junior Brother, you handle it!"
Lan Baizhi readily stepped back.
They didn't yet know the extent of Qin Yi's strength, so this was a good opportunity to witness it!
Qin Yi walked a few steps closer to Murong Kai and said, "Valley Master Murong, you sent people to assassinate me, and I must avenge this! If you don't want Wind King Valley to suffer heavy casualties because of you, I advise you to have them refrain from any rash actions!"
Yesterday at the Kongtong Sect, Murong Kai had experienced Qin Yi's strength, and his injuries had only recovered for a few hours!
Therefore, in his heart, he was extremely wary of Qin Yi, even a little fearful!
But now that Qin Yi had come to his doorstep, no matter how wary he was, he suppressed it and said sternly, "What exactly do you want?"
"Let me tell you, this is Wind King Valley, my territory!"
Even now, he still tried to scare Qin Yi away!
Qin Yi chuckled, glanced at Fang Zheng'ao and Xue Qiao'er, and said, "Squad Leader Fang and Squad Leader Xue are here today, so I will give them some face! Valley Master Murong, if you come out and can withstand three moves from me, our feud will be settled, and your sending people to attack me today will be forgotten!"
"!!!"
"???"
"..."
Unsurprisingly, upon hearing his words, everyone, be it Murong Kai and the people of Wind King Valley, Fang Zheng'ao and Xue Qiao'er, or even Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman, froze in unison.
They wore expressions of shock and disbelief.
As they recovered, Murong Kai's anger almost solidified and overflowed, because he felt Qin Yi was looking down on him, insulting him!
Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman crossed their arms, wearing expressions of interest.
"This is interesting!"
Sensing Murong Kai's anger, Qin Yi paid no mind. Seeing that the latter did not respond immediately, he pressed further, "What do you say, are you afraid?"
"Arrogant brat!"
Murong Kai let out an angry roar and shouted to the Wind King Valley disciples surrounding Qin Yi, "Step back, all of you, step back!"
The Wind King Valley disciples quickly retreated a distance away!
Immediately after, Murong Kai stepped forward and gritted his teeth at Qin Yi, "You said it yourself! If I can take three of your moves, you will leave immediately!"
"Agreed!" Qin Yi nodded.
"But I also have something unpleasant to say upfront: if you are injured or killed by me, don't blame me!"
"No problem!" Qin Yi readily agreed.
"Then come!"
A compelling aura instantly erupted from Murong Kai. He reached out his left hand towards the large saber held by a Wind King Valley martial artist, and the disciple's saber unsheathed and flew into his hand.
Due to his aura, some of the lower-cultivation Wind King Valley martial artists felt the pressure and involuntarily retreated further.
With the saber in hand, Murong Kai showed no mercy and made the first move. He leaped high into the air, and the large saber in his hand slashed down at Qin Yi.
Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman felt the might of his slash. They stood there, their delicate brows furrowed slightly.
The true qi in their dantian began to circulate quietly.
The moment they sensed anything was amiss, they would intervene to help Qin Yi!
They didn't care that this was a pre-arranged duel between Qin Yi and Murong Kai; their only concern was to ensure their junior brother did not get hurt!
Murong Kai's slash was powerful and fast, but Qin Yi dodged it with a sidestep, and Murong Kai's saber landed on the ground.
Clang.
The saber cut a several-meter-long crack into the ground.
Missing his target, Murong Kai didn't pause and immediately swept the saber horizontally, aiming for Qin Yi's waist.
Qin Yi's body instantly soared into the air. While dodging Murong Kai's saber, he stepped on the blade with one foot, using the leverage to ascend further.
Then, suspended in the air, he unleashed a flurry of kicks towards Murong Kai.
Bang.
His first kick landed on Murong Kai, who used his saber to block. The foot struck the blade.
Under the force, Murong Kai was forced back several steps.
Qin Yi remained in the air, not landing, and pursued, delivering a second kick.
This time, Qin Yi still kicked the saber, but due to his immense power, the other side of the saber rebounded when Murong Kai blocked, striking his chest.
"Hmph!"
Murong Kai grunted and retreated another two steps.
At this moment, Qin Yi poured a mass of true qi into his right leg. Instantly, his entire right leg emitted a faint glow.
Qin Yi landed and then leaped up again, his right leg flying towards Murong Kai for the third time.
Murong Kai had just regained his footing. Seeing Qin Yi's third kick coming, he ignored the pain in his chest and gritted his teeth, raising his saber vertically in front of him!
Furthermore, this time he specifically aimed the blade at Qin Yi. If Qin Yi didn't stop in time and his kick landed on the blade, Qin Yi's foot would be ruined!
