Ye Cangtian, while not admitting the incapacity of the Blazing Fire Courtyard, implied it thoroughly with his words.
What did this brat intend to do?
On the other side, Yan Shenghui's expression also shifted. Wasn't this provoking the wrath of the Blazing Fire Courtyard's disciples? Did he not want to leave here alive?
Though he thought this way, Yan Shenghui remained composed and said nothing, patiently continuing to watch.
"Mr. Ye, I have understood your words. What you mean is that our Blazing Fire Courtyard disciples are inferior to you!"
Ye Yaoyang continued with a somewhat icy tone, "Since that's the case, why don't we have a match? If you win, Miss Mingyue will naturally leave with you."
"If I win, she will stay, and you will have to apologize to the Blazing Fire Courtyard!"
He had long disliked Ye Cangtian, and now that Ye Cangtian was proactively causing trouble, he would never tolerate it. This was a perfect opportunity to teach the other party a lesson and vent his anger.
"Unfair!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the other party indifferently and continued, "Why should I apologize to the Blazing Fire Courtyard, while you don't have to do anything if you lose?"
"Fine, if we lose, our Blazing Fire Courtyard will agree to one of your requests?" Ye Yaoyang said upon hearing this.
Although this promise was significant, Ye Cangtian had only recently entered the Heaven level. His combat strength should not match that of a seasoned Heaven-level expert, so the Blazing Fire Courtyard's chances of losing were very slim.
"Agreed."
Ye Cangtian did not waste words and immediately accepted.
Seeing this, Ye Yaoyang let out a light scoff and said, "Shenghui, this matter is for you to handle this time. Don't show any favoritism!"
He himself wanted to fight.
However, the Blazing Fire Courtyard was not without Heaven-level experts. If he, the Dean, were to fight, it would be inappropriate.
Moreover, doing so would give Ye Cangtian too much face.
"Alright."
Upon hearing Ye Yaoyang's words, Yan Shenghui's expression shifted slightly, but he did not refuse and directly agreed.
In fact, it was better for him to fight.
If Ye Yaoyang had fought, he would have definitely harbored personal grudges.
If he had been too heavy-handed, it might have triggered strong dissatisfaction from both sides, leading to the tearing up of the agreement and the outbreak of conflict.
By him fighting, he could control all of this.
...
The Martial Arts Arena.
Within the Blazing Fire Courtyard, there were many martial arts grounds, usually for disciples to spar.
Soon, Ye Cangtian and the two, along with the people from the Blazing Fire Courtyard, arrived at the largest martial arts arena.
Only four people in the entire Blazing Fire Courtyard were capable of sparring here: the uncle and nephew pair Yan Shenghui and Yan Biao, and the father and son pair Ye Yaoyang and Ye Qing.
Bringing Ye Cangtian here this time was, to be honest, a groundbreaking event in the eyes of many.
"Shenghui, teach this brat a good lesson. He's too arrogant."
On the side of the martial arts arena, Ye Yaoyang whispered to Yan Shenghui. Ye Cangtian was too unappreciative; he had to teach the other party a sufficient lesson.
Yan Shenghui nodded upon hearing this, "Don't worry, I'll be careful when I act."
Ye Yaoyang was slightly taken aback by this response, his brow furrowing slightly. This was clearly not the answer he wanted to hear, but he couldn't argue further at this moment.
If he angered Yan Shenghui and the latter intentionally lost to Ye Cangtian, it would be too embarrassing and would also ruin his plans.
Therefore, he could only nod.
On the other side, Dongfang Mingyue also came to Ye Cangtian's side and said softly, "Brat, your opponent this time is Uncle Shenghui. Be careful."
Since arriving here, Yan Shenghui had treated her very well. Dongfang Mingyue was not heartless; naturally, she did not wish for Ye Cangtian to harm him.
"Heh, Sister Mingyue, do you have that much confidence in me?"
"Aren't you even worried about my safety, but instead about your opponent?"
Ye Cangtian chuckled playfully, teasing her. There was no need for her to tell him about such matters.
Hmph!
Dongfang Mingyue let out a huff and said resentfully, "Do I need to worry about you? Don't I know your strength? Besides, how many trump cards do you have..."
Uh!
Ye Cangtian felt a bit awkward and was immediately rendered speechless.
The next moment, he had to step onto the arena directly to alleviate his embarrassment.
On the other side, seeing Ye Cangtian enter the arena, Yan Shenghui did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward to face Ye Cangtian.
He glanced at Ye Cangtian and slowly said, "Brat, although I have a good relationship with that girl Mingyue, this concerns the forces of both our sides. I will absolutely not go easy on you, so be mentally prepared."
"As you said, I will not go easy either. Please be careful, Senior."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and continued, "Senior, there's no need for too much complexity in our spar. Let's keep it simple and violent. This way, we can save some time."
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shenghui nodded, then turned and stepped aside.
The next moment, Yan Shenghui's spiritual energy clearly surged, his eyes turned fiery red, and the surrounding temperature rose.
Blazing Flame Indestructible Body!
Seeing Yan Shenghui's transformation, Ye Yaoyang revealed a pleased smile. Displaying the Blazing Flame Indestructible Body right from the start, he was indeed not holding back.
With this, this match would basically have no suspense.
Clang!
With a soft clang, Ye Cangtian had already drawn the Death Scythe.
Seeing the scene before them, Dongfang Mingyue's forehead showed three black lines.
It was a friendly spar between allies, so they should have held back. Yet, both of them were clearly going all out. She would find it difficult to accept if anything happened to either of them!
"What, Blazing Tiger Fist..."
Just as Dongfang Mingyue was muttering, the next second, she widened her eyes in disbelief.
Yan Shenghui had unleashed a full-powered Blazing Tiger Fist.
One must remember that Yan Shenghui was a Heaven-level expert. How could his full-powered Blazing Tiger Fist be comparable to Yan Biao's!
His gauntlet burned with a roaring tiger, lunging towards Ye Cangtian.
"Roar!"
As a dragon's roar sounded, a dragon head materialized out of thin air. Dongfang Mingyue's face instantly turned stunned. This was not a spar at all; it was clearly a battle to the death!
Ye Cangtian had even used the Blind Dragon. This was clearly his intention to kill the opponent!
Everyone in the venue widened their eyes simultaneously.
Both sides were using their killing moves to fight. For them, this was an extremely rare opportunity, and they truly did not want to miss this spectacle.
Boom...
With a rumbling sound, strong winds surged, sweeping across everything around them.
The spacious martial arts arena had transformed into a massive pit centered around the two individuals.
At this moment, at the bottom of the pit, Ye Cangtian and Yan Shenghui faced each other at close range. Ye Cangtian's Death Scythe was already resting against Yan Shenghui's neck.
It seemed that as long as Ye Cangtian wished, he could sever Yan Shenghui's head at any moment.
Yan Shenghui's fist, on the other hand, was pointed at Ye Cangtian's head, but it was still a considerable distance away from Ye Cangtian's head.
The reason was the Death Scythe. The Death Scythe was right against his neck. If he moved any closer, it would sever his neck.
"This..."
Seeing the situation of the two, Ye Yaoyang's face turned extremely gloomy.
From their conditions, Ye Cangtian held a slight advantage, seemingly a narrow victory for Ye Cangtian.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Yaoyang was furious.
He not only wanted to teach Ye Cangtian a lesson but also to win this match.
However, this outcome had completely shattered all his plans.
Yet, he could not say anything about this result.
Because Yan Shenghui had not held back; not only had he used the Blazing Flame Indestructible Body, but he had also used the Blazing Tiger Fist.
Furthermore, in such a battle, anyone who held back would definitely be courting death.
This left him with no opportunity to vent his anger.
"I lost."
In the pit, Yan Shenghui glanced at the long crack on his gauntlet. His face showed a hint of pain, but he still looked at Ye Cangtian and conceded defeat.
He was not someone who refused to accept failure.
Moreover, considering the relationship between the other party and Dongfang Mingyue, he would not be upset about losing to him; rather, he would be gratified.
As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. He also hoped that his juniors could surpass him.
