Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Coercion

As Lin Yi was preparing to accept the challenge, Chi Yuan suddenly stepped forward and rushed into the chessboard area ahead.

"Let me handle this!"

Seeing that it was not Lin Yi but Chi Yuan accepting the challenge, Lu Feng’s face darkened slightly, "I want to challenge Lin Yi, why are you interfering?"

Unexpectedly, Chi Yuan responded coldly, "If you can’t even defeat me, then you don’t deserve to battle him."

Her words caused quite a stir among the crowd.

What did she mean by that?

Could it be that Chi Yuan had been defeated by Lin Yi before?

"Not necessarily, perhaps this woman is just trying to protect the kid and deliberately said that!"

Qin Hao declared solemnly.

Lu Feng shared the same thought; considering Chi Yuan’s higher ranking on the King List, how could she easily lose to Lin Yi?

"If that’s the case, then I’ll defeat you first, and then we’ll see how that kid can dodge the battle!"

Lu Feng sneered, and with a flip of his hand, a black battle saber appeared in his palm, from which threads of Thunder Light surged!

Suddenly, he made a slashing motion, and a thunderous saber light burst forth, slashing towards Chi Yuan!

However, Chi Yuan, without even looking, swept out with her sword, and the sword light rampaged from the ground, transforming into a path of flames!

The explosive collision of thunder and fire energies burst forth, the terrifying aftermath of the saber light and Sword Qi violently washing over the Taoist Chessboard’s barrier, yet it was completely neutralized!

However, the result of their clash of powers sent Lu Feng tumbling backward, his body scorched black.

Defeated, he was expelled from the chessboard area.

"Damn, this woman’s strength is so formidable?"

Lu Feng looked very unhappy. He had been confident in this battle, but he had not expected to be defeated so quickly.

Yet, it was supposed to be Lin Yi he was challenging, and this woman, Chi Yuan, had spoiled his plans—an utter annoyance!

"I’ll avenge you!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Lu Feng’s mind, and he saw Qin Hao’s figure swooping in, appearing before Chi Yuan.

"Sister Chi Yuan, let Qin try to experience your Ancient Fire Phoenix Bloodline!"

Qin Hao’s eyes narrowed, and tremendous Spear Intent burst forth from the tip of his spear, creating a terrifying whirlwind of sharpness that pressed directly towards Chi Yuan!

Ranked thirty-sixth on the Central Province King List, Qin Hao was powerful. Faced with such an opponent, Chi Yuan couldn’t be careless and instantly unleashed her Ancient Fire Phoenix Bloodline, a fiery phoenix phantom suddenly bursting forth from her body, its wings like divine flame swords slashing out!

However, though the fiery phoenix’s momentum was vast, under Qin Hao’s whirlwind spear, its power was continuously diminished.

Pfft!

Eventually, Qin Hao proved superior, his spear piercing through the fiery phoenix phantom!

A streak of Spear Intent exploded onto Chi Yuan’s abdomen, sending her flying out of the chessboard area.

"The Ancient Fire Phoenix Bloodline is just so-so."

Having defeated Chi Yuan, a hint of pride emerged on Qin Hao’s face, and he then turned his gaze towards Lin Yi, "But I’m still more eager to see, if the fifth of the Central Province’s Five Great Demons is as formidable as rumored, or merely a paper tiger."

Now that Chi Yuan, his shield, had been defeated, he was eager to see what excuses Lin Yi could still muster to avoid fighting.

But if the kid persisted in being a shrinking turtle, there was nothing he could do. If so, the kid would naturally no longer be able to pose at the Lan Hua Society.

Yan Qingrou, hearing this, couldn’t help but frown slightly, "Lin Yi is a demon recognized by the Cloud Sky Divine Stele, how can you doubt him so recklessly?"

"High talent doesn’t mean strong strength. Besides, this tea gathering is meant for exchanging and testing each other. Brother Lin Yi, you wouldn’t be afraid of battle, would you?"

Qin Hao scoffed.

"Qin Hao is so aggressive; it seems he has set his sights on Lin Yi."

"Lin Yi is one of the top five notorious figures in Central Province, and defeating him would surely boost his own reputation."

"Qin Hao has always been a favorite among the female members of the society, blessed with good fortune. Now with Lin Yi, this demon joining, it seems that a significant portion of the popularity has been diverted. That might be an important reason why Qin Hao is targeting Lin Yi."

"Lin Yi is said to have just arrived in Central Province recently, having previously cultivated in the Eastern Domain. Perhaps his strength isn’t that great? He might be humiliated by Qin Hao this time..."

"..."

Even though Lin Yi’s fame was currently great in Central Province, everyone knew he was immensely talented, but his actual combat ability was unknown.

Based on their understanding of the other Four Regions, Lin Yi, from the weakest Eastern Domain, probably wasn’t very strong.

However, amidst the surrounding discussions, Lin Yi seemed deaf to it all, simply walking over to Chi Yuan’s side and asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

Chi Yuan shook her head, then looked directly at Lin Yi, "Are you going to take action?"

"What else?"

Lin Yi said lightly, "Since they’ve already stepped over our faces, I certainly don’t want to be labeled a coward."

"Besides, it’s not a formidable opponent, just a chance to practice."

Chi Yuan nodded. Others might not know the depth of Lin Yi’s strength, but she knew it well; Lin Yi had fought Nangong Huang to a standstill, so his strength should be superior to Qin Hao’s.

If everything went as expected, once the battle commenced, Lin Yi might still gain the upper hand.
