Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 414: Chapter 413: Want to Admit Defeat? I Don’t Accept!

Eight-Faced Yama’s face turned deathly pale; even Ren Beishan, who was stronger than him, had died at Su Yang’s hands. If he were to fight personally, his death would certainly be even more miserable!

”Su... Master Su...” Eight-Faced Yama’s voice trembled, ”The previous... the previous incidents were all misunderstandings, I earnestly apologize to you here. This battle... there’s also no need to trouble yourself, I, Eight-Faced Yama, fully acknowledge my inferiority and am willing to concede completely!”

A wave of mockery broke out from the crowd. Although Wang Wanli had been defeated without fighting, he at least stood on the stage. Eight-Faced Yama didn’t even step onto the stage and just admitted defeat directly; this was too embarrassing!

”And this guy is supposed to be the sixth-ranked expert of Pingnan Province? Pfft!”

”Doesn’t even dare to step onto the stage, isn’t that just shameful!”

”The number one leader of Pingnan Province is nothing special after all, not at all comparable to those of us from Pingbei Province!”

The surrounding crowd laughed and heckled nonstop, their mocking words continuously reaching Eight-Faced Yama’s ears. But Eight-Faced Yama remained utterly unfazed; he wasn’t foolish, getting on the stage meant death, mockery wouldn’t kill him!

Su Yang stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly, ”If you want to admit defeat, you have to see if I accept it or not. Do you really think you can end everything with just an apology for what you’ve done?”

Eight-Faced Yama’s face filled with awkwardness, as he said in a low voice, ”Master Su, for the offense I have caused, I... I am willing to fully compensate. Just say the word, Master Su, and I, Eight-Faced Yama, will certainly follow through!”

”Is that so?” Su Yang glanced at Eight-Faced Yama, ”Are you sure?”

”Certain!” Eight-Faced Yama said seriously.

”Good!” Su Yang nodded in satisfaction, ”Then I’ll give you an opportunity. I’ll relinquish the stage to you; choose someone from either Mo Qianli or the Gwu Family to fight on this stage. As long as you can kill your opponent, then I will accept your surrender!”

”What?” Eight-Faced Yama’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, this had to be a joke, right?

Ghost Blade Mo Qianli, he certainly couldn’t defeat him. The people from the Gwu Family were Divine Sovereign’s men, how could he dare to fight them?

”What’s the matter? Is it too difficult?” Su Yang said with a cold laugh, ”If you can’t meet the demand I put forth, then don’t talk to me about surrendering. We’ll have our own fight right here, and no matter who wins or loses, we will have settled our business, how about that!”

Eight-Faced Yama’s eyes darted about as he calculated the situation in his mind.

Facing Su Yang on the stage would mean certain death.

Fighting either Mo Qianli or the Gwu Family, Su Yang required that he must kill the opponent.

He definitely couldn’t beat Mo Qianli, but he might manage to kill someone from the Gwu Family. However, the problem was, if he killed a member of the Gwu Family, the Divine Sovereign would certainly not let him off in the future!

The question now was whether he wanted to extend his life a little longer or if he should just take his chances against Su Yang.

”Eight-Faced Yama, you seem to be taking a bit too long to think,” Su Yang said softly, ”I’ll give you one minute to decide. If you can’t make a choice, then there’s no need to think any longer; just come and have this fight with me!”

Eight-Faced Yama frantically looked towards Mo Qianli for his opinion, only to find that Mo Qianli had turned his head away, making no eye contact at all.

Eight-Faced Yama’s face turned ashen, and after grinding his teeth in silence for a moment, he said in a deep voice, ”I... I challenge a person from the Gwu Family!”

There was an uproar among the crowd of the Gwu Family, with many rising to their feet and furiously shouting, condemning Eight-Faced Yama for his audacity.

Not uttering a word, Eight-Faced Yama knew that facing Su Yang in combat personally meant certain death. Mo Qianli hadn’t instructed him on what to do, so for the time being, he could only prioritize saving his own life. Surviving one more minute gave him a minute of hope!

”Congratulations on making the right choice!” Su Yang said with a faint smile, ”But, you must challenge a direct descendant of the Gwu Family, do not try to fool me with any collateral members. Otherwise, I will still kill you!”

Eight-Faced Yama almost spat blood; he indeed intended to choose a collateral member of the Gwu Family, kill them off hastily, and find a way to compensate for it later. But now, it seemed utterly impossible. Su Yang simply wouldn’t give him that chance.

Killing a direct descendant of the Gwu Family, how could the Divine Sovereign let him go afterward? Su Yang was truly cornering him!

But at this point, what choice did Eight-Faced Yama have? He could only do as Su Yang said. After all, it would be all too easy for Su Yang if he wanted him dead!

Su Yang stepped down from the stage and yielded it to Eight-Faced Yama.

Su Yang was unaware that the Divine Sovereign was Gwu Jihan, but he always felt there was something off about the Gwu Family in this matter.

The Gwu Family had been quiet for a long time, and it was commonly said their power had declined. Yet, they appeared at the May Dragon Head Meeting, and even made it into the top eight of Pingnan Province. More crucially, the Gwu Family was in cahoots with the Ren Family, Wang Family, and Eight-Faced Yama, jointly targeting the Ye Family, the Shangguan Family, the Nan Family, and the Hou Family—there was something fishy going on.

Su Yang wanted Eight-Faced Yama to kill someone from the Gwu Family to disrupt their alliance first.

Eight-Faced Yama stepped onto the stage, amidst the furious curses from the Gwu Family’s crowd, and finally pointed at one of their direct descendants.

This member of the Gwu Family was of average strength; Eight-Faced Yama could kill him with ease.

However, instead of the chosen person, a top fighter from the Gwu Family leaped onto the stage and said coldly, ”Eight-Faced Yama, you’ve got the nerve of a bear and the heart of a leopard to challenge my Gwu Family. I will fight you in this duel, and I will show you the true might of my Gwu Family!”

Eight-Faced Yama frowned, ”I didn’t challenge you, why should you be the one to fight?”

”Challenging a person from my Gwu Family is tantamount to challenging the entire Gwu Family. Whomever my Gwu Family chooses to fight is up to us,” said the Gwu Family expert coldly, ”What’s the matter, scared?”

Actually, Eight-Faced Yama only wanted to find someone weak, kill them, then quickly escape and live in hiding, never to be seen again.

Instead, the Gwu Family sent such a strong fighter; Eight-Faced Yama himself felt uneasy. Whether he could win against this person in combat was truly uncertain!

If you’re too afraid to fight, just say so and crawl to Su Yang begging for mercy. I don’t have time to waste on you!” the Gwu Family expert shouted sternly.

Eight-Faced Yama could not hold back his anger either. While he feared Su Yang, it didn’t mean he was weak. On the contrary, as the sixth-ranked master in Pingnan Province, he had his dignity; not everyone could order him around!

”Since you are so eager to die, I will grant you your wish!” Eight-Faced Yama took a deep breath, his heels slowly lifted, standing only on the tips of his toes. He appeared to float like an elegant crane, moving with the wind, extremely bizarre.

The crowd watched in amazement as Eight-Faced Yama, with his weight of over 200 pounds, moved with the wind yet did not fall, surprising everyone who saw it.

The Gwu Family expert also furrowed his brows, for Eight-Faced Yama’s move made him realize he had underestimated him. But the situation was dire, and with no way out, he could only rush forward to fight Eight-Faced Yama!
