Chapter 887: Chapter 887: Battle of the Century

Long Yun’s gaze sharpened as a formidable aura surged around him. He spoke in a deep voice, "What’s the situation? Are your injuries related to Ning Fan?"

Zhang Jia’s face was covered in tears as she sobbed, "Yes, Hero Long, I heard you had challenged Ning Fan, so I went to see him out of admiration!"

"Unexpectedly, that guy attacked me without even a word and said that even someone like you, Hero Long, was no match for his eyes—all mere ants at his feet!"

As she spoke, she took out a video from the arena and played it in front of everyone.

The footage showed Ning Fan casually tossing Zhang Jia around, which, to those unaware of the context, appeared as a complete humiliation!

Although the major families didn’t know the exact conflict between Zhang Jia and Ning Fan, just watching this video made them approve internally.

Timing couldn’t be better!

While they were still contemplating how to explain the situation to Long Yun, evidence and witnesses were conveniently presented!

What a stroke of genius!

After watching the video, Long Yun’s gaze darkened, and a deep anger surfaced on his face. "Ridiculous! As a martial artist one should be modest and self-disciplined. This youth’s arrogance and humiliation of other martial artists are absolutely disgraceful to our name!"

Zhang Jia nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, "Yes, yes, Hero Long, this guy is too arrogant, you must not forgive him!"

"Don’t worry, I, Long Yun, will certainly seek justice for our fellow warriors," Long Yun said as he helped Zhang Jia up, speaking firmly, "Such arrogant martial artists must be taught a lesson on how to be human!"

After that, Long Yun turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.

His purpose in coming had been to uncover the truth; now a single video had completely dispelled his doubts.

If that was the case, then he would not hold back in two days!

As Long Yun departed, the family heads finally exhaled and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

"You are Zhang Jia?" the Patriarch of the Bao Family asked Zhang Jia, "I once met your father briefly. What exactly is going on with you and Ning Fan?"

Zhang Jia, embarrassed to admit she had sought out Ning Fan due to jealousy, sensed the Patriarch of the Bao Family’s reaction and quickly fabricated a reason with a surge of Spiritual Power.

"I just thought that the guy dared to act against our influential families, so I decided to teach him a lesson myself, never expecting I’d be no match for him..."

Upon hearing this, the family heads looked at each other.

Even we don’t dare to touch that kid, yet you dared to confront him.

Such naïve bravery!

Only the Patriarch of the Bao Family burst into laughter, "You truly are fearless! But you did us a great favor this time!"

Zhang Jia was overjoyed, a sinister look flashing in his eyes.

Ning Fan, this time your fate is sealed!

...

In just two days, with the major families stirring up public opinion, the battle between Ning Fan and Long Yun had been painted as a century’s battle where justice would triumph over evil.

As the strongest in Capital City, Long Yun was poised to decisively suppress Ning Fan, who had been causing turmoil among the city’s martial artists.

Various rumors about Ning Fan grew wings and spread throughout Capital City.

"Just over a verbal dispute, he wiped out the He Family?"

"He’s too cruel, the entire He Family was annihilated!"

"Even the Li Family couldn’t escape his clutches!"

"The Family Head of the Li Family stood for justice and was beheaded on the spot!"

"The old Family Head of the Li Family sought revenge for his son and was also brutally killed by Ning Fan!"

"He’s literally a demon!"

"Strong support for Long Yun to suppress Ning Fan!"

"Such people are the scum of martial artists! He absolutely cannot be spared!"

"Right! He must be brought to justice!"

The clamor to condemn and punish Ning Fan surged in Capital City, creating a tumultuous atmosphere.

This fervor reached its peak when surviving members of the He and Li families came forward to testify.

"Our family head... was just killed brutally by him over a minor argument!"

"What did our Li Family do wrong? The old Family Head was just trying to uphold justice!"

"This guy is a cold-blooded demon without emotions! He definitely should not be allowed to live!"

"The Li Family and the He Family jointly petition Hero Long Yun to strike down such a madman!"

At that moment, Capital City was engulfed in a wave of calls for Ning Fan’s punishment.

"Dammit! These people are completely distorting the truth!"

Chen Yi, having read the accumulated news, was so angry she smashed her tablet.

Chen Donglai, however, appeared unfazed, "These are the tactics of the influential families, aiming to completely destroy Ning Fan."

If matters continued, even if Ning Fan really defeated Long Yun, he wouldn’t be able to stay in Capital City anymore.

For by then, the whole city would be his enemy.

"Can we do anything about it?" Chen Yi asked anxiously.

Chen Donglai shook his head and sighed, "Now we can only hope that Ning Fan himself has the capability to prove his innocence, otherwise nobody can help him."

The Dragon Group’s people naturally knew what was happening, but they did not speak out.

"Coming forward now, we have no way to contend with public opinion," Lian Hongyi analyzed, "We can only wait for Ning Fan to defeat Long Yun, then bring out the evidence."

"Moreover, we need to persuade Long Yun first. With him leading the way, the entire public opinion in Capital City can be turned around. Otherwise, even if Ning Fan jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn’t clear his name."
