Chapter 890: Chapter 890: Gathering of Martial Artists

Across from the seven major families, in a position only slightly inferior to their viewing spot, gathered the other nobles and powerful clans of Capital City.

These peoples’ family backgrounds were not on par with those of the seven major noble houses, so naturally they couldn’t sit in the best spots and had to congregate in the second tier of the area.

"Have you heard that the kid named Ning Fan wiped out the He Family and the Li Family?"

"Humph, he must have used some underhanded tactics, otherwise how could he possibly have exterminated two major families?"

"This time with Long Yun taking action, that kid has no chance of survival! Someone who so easily massacres families is just like a ticking time bomb!"

Because of the public opinion spread by the seven major families, these powerful clan members had already pegged Ning Fan as a ruthless madman.

Therefore, all of them were hoping that Long Yun could decisively suppress Ning Fan.

Most of the martial artists nearby were discussing who would win between Long Yun and Ning Fan.

"If you ask me, Long Yun is sure to win!"

"Nonsense, Long Yun is the number one fighter in Capital City, third on the Heavenly List. How could that kid stand a chance!"

"That kid’s too ignorant of his own limits, daring to challenge Long Yun. He won’t even know how he died."

"Just wait and see how Long Yun will trample this kid!"

Chen Yi and Chen Donglai were standing among these people, listening to the surrounding discussions, Chen Yi felt indignant and wanted to retort.

"Xiao Yi, don’t be impulsive. These guys don’t understand the truth of the matter," Chen Donglai raised his hand to stop her, "Defending Ning Fan here is just asking for trouble with the crowd."

"So what, it wasn’t Ning Fan’s fault in the first place!"

Chen Yi suddenly stood up, turned towards those noble families, and said in a stern voice, "I’ll tell you, all of this is a pack of lies made up by the seven great noble families! The truth isn’t like this at all!"

"It was the Li Family and the He Family who wanted to harm Ning Fan, they even wanted to annihilate him completely, only to be killed in self-defense by Ning Fan!"

"From beginning to end, Ning Fan was only acting in self-defense!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted angry looks from many people.

"Young lady, don’t talk nonsense when you don’t understand the situation," a noble retorted with mocking sarcasm, "If it was self-defense, why did he have to exterminate entire families? Did everyone in those two families offend him?"

"Others wanted to kill Ning Fan too! Can’t he fight back?" Chen Yi replied through clenched teeth.

"Heh, this guy is a bloody maniac. After killing so many people, you still want to defend him!" the noble scoffed, "You’re not in cahoots with him, are you?"

In fact, when Ning Fan took action, he did not indiscriminately kill everyone present.

He used his spiritual power to monitor everyone at the scene.

He only took the lives of those who harbored the intent to kill him in their hearts.

As for the others, Ning Fan didn’t lay a finger on them.

However, Chen Yi simply could not explain this at the moment, and faced with the noble’s questions, she couldn’t find the words to refute.

"Anyway, Ning Fan is not at fault, and he definitely won’t lose today!" Chen Yi declared with conviction.

However, as soon as these words were out, they only drew angry looks from many martial artists.

"Young lady, what are you saying?"

"Long Yun is the third-ranked expert on the Heavenly List. How could he possibly lose to that kid?"

"I advise you to be careful with your words! That kid simply cannot be Long Yun’s match!"

For most martial artists, Long Yun was like a guiding light on the path of cultivation, or the ultimate goal they aspired to achieve.

That was why they could not tolerate even the slightest criticism of Long Yun.

"Ning Fan will definitely not lose!"

Facing these towering martial artists, Chen Yi showed no hint of fear, and confronted them unyieldingly.

Hearing this, a tall and burly man stood up, his gaze coldly fixed on Chen Yi: "Young lady, I’ll give you a chance to take back what you just said!"

"Heh, why should I?" Chen Yi replied coldly, "Just because you all support Long Yun?"

"Damn it, insolent woman! Taking kindness for weakness!"

The martial artist’s face darkened and he swung his fist at Chen Yi’s face.

Just as it was about to land, another towering figure stood in the way of the punch.

Thud!

With a muffled sound, the burly man’s fist was firmly caught.

"Who the hell dares to block me... Ah! My hand!"

The burly man was just about to curse when a tremendous pain from his wrist made him scream.

Lu Tong looked at the burly man coldly: "Kid, this is Capital City, the turf of the Dragon Group; do you really think you can run wild here?"

"I-I-I’m wrong! I won’t dare to do it again!"

The burly man was just an ordinary martial artist, and naturally stood no chance against one of the strongest members of the Dragon Group.

"Get lost!"

Lu Tong tossed the burly man aside with ease and turned to look at Chen Yi: "Miss Chen, are you alright?"

Chen Donglai, as the top biological researcher in Capital City, had cooperated extensively with the Dragon Group, and Lu Tong naturally knew Chen Donglai’s granddaughter as well.

"I’m fine." Chen Yi nodded, brushing back a lock of hair by her ear, "Mr. Lu, has the Dragon Group also been deployed this time?"

Lu Tong said gravely, "Yes, there are too many martial artists who have come to Capital City this time. If we don’t step in, it might result in chaos."

There’s a saying that goes, "In literature there is no first, and in martial arts no second." The more martial artists gathered, the higher the chances of dangerous situations occurring.

Moreover, and most crucially, the strengths of both Ning Fan and Long Yun were not to be underestimated.

If they were to clash and fail to control their powers, the energy released alone could cause widespread carnage.
