Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Uproot the Grass!

Mutuo had no choice but to swing his fists backward toward the sword light, attempting to block the sharpness of Lin Yi’s strike!

Unfortunately,

he was up against Lin Yi at his peak, with all guns blazing!

With a "clang" of a loud noise, Mutuo’s fists instantly collapsed!

Both arms were slightly deformed, with the sound of fracturing bones faintly audible.

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out violently!

His whole body was blasted away by the sword strike!

And sent tumbling off the battle platform!

By the time Mutuo regained his senses, he found himself under the battle platform, with the heels of his hands cracked and drips of blood falling down.

His face was filled with disbelief.

He had actually lost?

And all this right after he had just acknowledged Lin Yi’s strength as matching his own. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he had been defeated by Lin Yi!

This slap to his face couldn’t have come any faster!

"This damned Lao Liu..."

Mutuo glared at Lin Yi with a sullen face, his eyes brimming with murderous intent and humiliation. He couldn’t believe that he, the Heavenly Pride of the Martial Arts Academy, was actually defeated by a nobody from Yun Country!

In his view, if it weren’t for that cunning old Lin Yi who had pretended to be weak at first, only using fifty percent of his strength to lull him into a false sense of security, and then burst out with full force at the last moment, catching him completely off guard, he might not have lost to the opponent!

"Mutuo, you’ve already lost. Are you thinking of denying it in front of all these people?!"

Just then, Xu Sanqian leaped forward, looking at Mutuo with a mocking face, suggesting that Mutuo would have no shame if he tried to renege now with so many eyes upon him.

"Whoa!"

As the words of Xu Sanqian dropped, a buzz of astonishment rose among the crowd in the square.

Clearly, nobody had expected that the third bout would end in such a decisive victory for Lin Yi, an outcome that had undoubtedly surprised the vast majority.

And after a brief moment of shock, all eyes turned toward Mutuo, their gazes tinged with a bit of schadenfreude.

After all, "Iron Man" Mutuo was highly renowned, yet now, he was defeated by Lin Yi—a young man from Yun Country with no reputation at all!

Feeling the close scrutiny of all those eyes upon him, Mutuo’s face became extremely grim. If he dared to go back on his word now, news of it would likely spread across the entire Longshan Empire by the next day.

It was a minor issue for him to lose face personally, but a major one for the reputation of the Martial Arts Academy.

"Lin Xiu, is it?"

Mutuo looked at Lin Yi deeply, "I’ll remember you!"

"You won’t be leaping around for much longer!"

Saying this, he angrily stormed off!

Watching the enraged departure of Mutuo, a trace of cold light flickered unnoticed in Lin Yi’s eyes.

"Friend Mutuo..."

Even at this moment, Tang Zhen still found it somewhat unbelievable that Mutuo had actually lost to some kid that the Xu Family had recruited from God knows where.

At this time, Xu Yi’s face was filled with joy, as he looked at Tang Zhen not far away and said lightly, "Tang Family Head, the results are settled. The Battle Platform fight ends with two victories and one loss for the Xu Family, and the rights to the Spirit Mine now belong to my Xu Family. You, the Tang Family, have no objections, right?"

Although Tang Zhen’s face was ashen and reluctant to admit the fact of the defeat, he ultimately had to nod his head, "A bet’s a bet; we in the Tang Family concede!"

"Tang Zhen!"

As Tang Zhen was preparing to lead his family members away, Xu Yi called out to him.

"What else do you want?"

Tang Zhen furrowed his brows, his face full of displeasure.

This old fellow, could he still be planning to humiliate him once more?

But to his surprise, Xu Yi said with a smile, "Although the right to the Spirit Mine has already gone to the Xu Family, I’m still considering giving your Tang Family thirty percent of the mine’s profits. What do you think?"

"Oh?"

Tang Zhen was immediately startled, then the gloom on his face instantly swept away, replaced by a warm smile, "I didn’t expect Brother Xu to be so generous. How could the Tang Family not recognize such kindness and refuse Brother Xu’s good intentions?"

Having lost in the battle at the Battle Platform this time, the Spirit Mine had already become unreachable for the Tang Family. At this moment, their willingness to give thirty percent of the profits to the Tang Family was already an unexpected surprise, full of sincerity!

He had no reason to refuse!

And for Xu Yi, taking the initiative to offer this thirty percent of the profits was also from a long-term perspective.

If the Tang Family received no benefits at all, how would they just let it go and swallow the bitter pill of this failure?

It goes without saying that the other side would definitely start making trouble. Rather than being worn down by the Tang Family in secret, it was better to take the initiative to show goodwill, especially since the Xu Family and the Tang Family were the only two major Familien in Shu City. One couldn’t avoid seeing the other, so it was very necessary to maintain good relations between them.

After handling the Spirit Mine dispute with the Tang Family well, Xu Yi was smiling as he saw off Tang Zhen and the others. Just as he was about to thank Lin Yi, the greatest hero of the battle, he discovered the latter had disappeared.

"Eh, where’s Lin Yi?"

Xu Yi looked around, his face showing surprise.

"He was just here!"

Xu Sanqian was also bewildered, staring at the spot where Lin Yi had just been. This youngster, where had he gone in such a short time?

...

Meanwhile, outside Shu City.

A figure walked out of the city.

It was Mutuo, who had just lost the battle at the Battle Platform.

His face was very gloomy at this moment, and murder flickered in his eyes, "Lin Xiu, how dare you spoil my plans and damage my reputation. I will make sure that you have no resting place in death!"

A nobody from a small country had the audacity to offend him, the Heavenly Pride of Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy. That kid probably didn’t even know how to spell death!

"Unfortunately, you won’t have that chance."

But it was at this moment that an icy voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Who’s there?"

Mutuo’s face changed abruptly, and he hurriedly turned around.

Before seeing the figure, he saw a piercing sword light already shooting through the air!

Mutuo hurried to mobilize his True Qi to resist, but still, it was a step too late!

"Whoosh!"

The sword light sliced across his neck, and in an instant, blood spurted!

His head flew off!

True Qi was still circulating his body, but he was already dead by this lightning-fast sword strike!

A look of intense disbelief lingered on his head, clearly, Mutuo didn’t expect to be so easily killed up until the moment of his death!

After Mutuo was decapitated, a figure walked up to the body—it was Lin Yi!

The sharp sword light just now was Lin Yi’s Lifebound Spirit Sword.

He didn’t like leaving loose ends.

What’s more, this man was from the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy, so there was even more reason not to leave him alive.

The battle at the Battle Platform had just ended when Lin Yi followed, with a clear purpose—to nip the problem in the bud!

After slaying Mutuo, Lin Yi didn’t linger. He took the man’s Storage Bag and immediately disposed of Mutuo’s corpse.

After doing all this, he turned and walked back to Shu City as if nothing had happened.
