The Lin Family’s retaliation has come so quickly!
From the moment Lin Yong stepped forward, Wang Junze understood that his troubles had arrived. The source of this content ɪs novel⦿fire.net
In an instant, everyone’s gaze simultaneously fell on Wang Junze.
In terms of strength, Lin Yong had opened forty-seven veins and had long stepped into Condensing Truth; he was undoubtedly the most outstanding genius of the Lin Family’s generation. Wang Junze, however, had just begun the Opening Veins stage. Their strengths didn’t seem to be on the same level at all.
Yet, Lin Yong’s opening words were direct, revealing that this was not just a competition, but also revenge!
Wang Junze had killed Lin Binqiang, who was a Condensing Truth Martial Artist. Therefore, Lin Yong’s desire to avenge his cousin was naturally not considered bullying Wang Junze on purpose.
Could Wang Junze dare to accept such a challenge?
If he didn’t dare to accept, in front of the City Lord of Jubei City and the Saintess of Profound Moon Sword Sect, Luo Qingxuan, he would naturally leave an impression of timidity and cowardice. This would make it impossible for him to join the Profound Moon Sword Sect.
Moreover, if Wang Junze lost his value, even if he left alive today, without anyone to protect him, the Lin Family would undoubtedly have plenty of opportunities to kill him!
This was an open plot; the moment Lin Yong spoke, no matter how Wang Junze chose, he was already in a dead end.
What a fierce counterattack!
Almost at the same time, the reprimand of the City Lord of Jubei City came again: "Wang Junze is the legitimate son of the Patriarch of the Wang Family, Lin Yong, your challenge to a mortal combat with him, are you trying to provoke a war between the two families? You are all families of my Jubei City. Internal strife at this time would make the Saintess laugh at us, wouldn’t it?"
After a pause, the City Lord of Jubei City continued, "You can have a competition, but it must be to the point, without deadly force, to avoid damaging the harmony between the two families. Patriarch Wang, Patriarch Lin, what do you say?"
"What the City Lord says is right!"
In an instant, both the Wang Family and Patriarch Lin Hong bowed simultaneously in agreement.
So this is what you were waiting for?
With a stir in his heart, Wang Junze immediately reacted.
No wonder yesterday, the City Lord easily suppressed the conflict between me and the Lin Family; it was to force me to make a statement.
Either agree to it, return to the Wang Family, and with the Wang Family’s backing, plus the City Lord’s mediation, the matter of killing Lin Binqiang would be put to rest. As long as during the ensuing competition with Lin Yong, I demonstrate my talent in Sword Dao, there would be a chance to win the favor of Luo Qingxuan. This competition would no longer be a death trap, but an opportunity!
On the contrary, if I refuse again, then... this battle would no longer be a competition, but a life-and-death struggle, and Lin Yong would certainly go all out to kill me!
This choice is not about whether to fight, but about life and death!
Standing up slowly, Wang Junze raised his head slightly, walked towards the center of the arena, and slightly bowed towards the City Lord and Luo Qingxuan before responding: "Thank you for your good intentions, City Lord, but I... am no longer a member of the Wang Family!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a stone had shattered the sky, and there was a moment of silence all around!
No one expected that under such circumstances, Wang Junze would still make such a choice.
Wang Cheng’s face became extremely ugly in an instant.
He thought he had paved the way for Wang Junze by following the City Lord’s words. As long as Wang Junze was willing to lower his head, he would overlook the past.
After all, no matter what, Wang Junze had now opened his veins and was no longer the useless one who couldn’t cultivate. It was only natural for him to return to the family.
Who would have thought that Wang Junze would rather die than bow or compromise!
This worthless thing, what exactly does he want to do?!
This is publicly slapping him, slapping the face of the Wang Family!
Wang Junze, however, did not care what others thought; he continued to speak calmly: "Three years ago, I failed to open my veins and was deemed to have Innate Wasted Vein, becoming a ’waste’ in my father’s words. This time, it was also you who personally expelled me from the Wang Family! In your eyes, your son was already dead when he failed to open his veins three years ago!"
"Had I not luckily succeeded in Opening Veins, I would have been killed by Wang Xin on the way from the Wang Family to Jubei City, right?"
Shaking his head, Wang Junze calmly said: "My relationship with the Wang Family was already cleared the moment you allowed Wang Xin to pursue and kill me; this life... I have returned to you! From now on, I am merely myself, and my life and death have nothing to do with the Wang Family!"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Junze once again turned his gaze to Wang Yong and said in a deep voice: "It’s true I killed Lin Binqiang. I don’t care to explain right or wrong. Since Second Brother Lin wants to kill me to avenge, I will accept!"
As his voice fell, Wang Junze’s hand was already resting on the hilt of his sword, calmly speaking: "Wang Junze wishes to fight Lin Yong to the death!"
