Savage Bone Is Poisonous!
No one expected that the arena match would take such a turn. Yi Yun suddenly appeared, crippled Zhao Tiezhu, and knocked Lian Cuihua unconscious.
In the Great Wilderness, medical conditions are extremely poor. Ninety-nine percent of such severe injuries will lead to infection. Without antibiotics, once infection and inflammation occur, it is very difficult for a person to survive.
Even if he survives, Zhao Tiezhu will be crippled in martial arts and unable to work; whether he can even get out of bed will be a question.
As for Lian Cuihua, she was disfigured. Of course, in Yi Yun's opinion, Lian Cuihua's appearance before and after the disfigurement was almost the same. However, with one tooth missing, Lian Cuihua could no longer eat coarse grains and wild vegetables. But in this Great Wilderness, where would you find anything good to eat? Unless someone took care of her, Lian Cuihua would likely starve to death.
Whether it's Zhao Tiezhu or Lian Cuihua, what awaits them in the future is inevitably an extremely tragic end.
After Yi Yun successively crippled Zhao Tiezhu and Lian Cuihua, the entire arena fell silent.
Many people who previously hated Yi Yun because their family members contracted the plague are now as scared as little chicks.
Yi Yun noticed these people, and even saw some of the children who had attacked Jiang Xiaorou that day.
A woman's face changed, and she hurriedly shielded her child behind her, her voice trembling as she said, "Back then... back then, it was Lian Cuihua who instigated... instigated them to burn down your house..."
Many members of the Lian Clan believe that Yi Yun's return after becoming powerful will surely lead him to settle scores regarding the burning of their house and the siege of Jiang Xiaorou.
Yi Yun took a few steps forward.
The woman's face grew even paler. "Throwing... throwing cow dung, it was Lian Cuihua who made us do it, we... we..."
The boy who threw the cow dung was about the same age as Yi Yun, and even a bit stronger. Normally, he wouldn't have given a boy like Yi Yun a second thought, but today, he was terrified.
"Do you really think I'm the one who infected you men with the plague?"
Yi Yun's words were imbued with vital energy, carrying for miles so that everyone could hear them clearly.
People were stunned for a moment. This was something announced by the high-ranking Lian Clan; how could it be wrong?
What they couldn't understand was how Yi Yun, who had contracted the plague, been possessed by an evil spirit, and fallen from a canyon several meters high, hadn't died.
Moreover, why was he able to defeat Zhao Tiezhu?
Even now, many villagers still can't believe that Yi Yun crippled Zhao Tiezhu in just two moves. They know that Yi Yun went to learn martial arts from Zhang Yuxian.
But he only practiced kung fu for a month, how could he be so much better than Zhao Tiezhu, who had practiced kung fu for more than ten years?
"What... what's wrong with our man?"
The woman asked tremblingly, and at that moment, Yi Yun caught a glimpse of Lian Chengyu standing up, his eyes fixed on him like those of a venomous snake.
Coldness, murderous intent, malice, greed!
It contains all the attributes of a snake!
Yi Yun knew that Lian Chengyu was threatening him, but he met Lian Chengyu's gaze head-on and said to everyone without fear, "The Desolate Bone is poisonous. Your men died from consuming the Desolate Bone. It has nothing to do with me!"
Yi Yun's voice carried far and echoed clearly in everyone's ears.
The public was in an uproar!
Is the Desolate Bone Poisonous!?
Their men died from the desolation of the wilderness!?
Some people looked at each other in bewilderment, while others discussed the matter animatedly.
If Yi Yun, who was previously without a chicken, had said this today, no one would have believed him. Instead, he would have been accused of being possessed, tied to a pile of firewood, and burned alive.
But now, with Yi Yun backed by immense power, even if his words sound unbelievable and incomprehensible, people still subconsciously believe them to some extent.
This is the deterrent effect of strength!
Whether a person has real ability is not only related to their status and personal dignity, but also to the words they speak.
The words of the strong are of the highest quality and carry great weight.
When the weak speak, it's like farting; nobody pays any attention!
Yi Yun is standing on this stage only because of his strength; otherwise, how could a twelve-year-old child establish his authority?
Lian Chengyu sneered and remained silent, but at that moment, an old man in a yellow robe stepped forward.
"You're spouting nonsense!"
This old man, with a powerful voice, was none other than the patriarch of the Lian Clan.
"You mere child, how dare you spread such nonsense here! The Wild Bone is a treasure that the tribe spent all its savings to buy, and it took the entire tribe's strength to refine it for dozens of days! How could it possibly be poisonous!?"
"Cheng Yu already consumed this Savage Bone Essence. If it is truly poisonous, Cheng Yu will be the first to die!"
The old clan chief was very authoritative, especially since he had been in charge of the Lian Clan for so many years and had established his authority.
Even if Yi Yun is powerful, his words cannot carry the weight of the old patriarch's words.
Moreover, the old clan chief's words made a lot of sense.
The Wild Bones were purchased by the tribe at great expense to be used to brew medicine for Lian Chengyu. If the Wild Bones are poisonous, wouldn't the tribe have essentially spent a great deal of money to kill Lian Chengyu?
"The clan chief is right! Folks, don't believe that brat!"
"You actually believe what a twelve-year-old child says?"
Among the crowd, many people shouted. These people were all members of the Lian Clan, whose interests were closely related to the Lian Clan's ruling class. Some others, like Lian Cuihua, were spies planted among the people by the Lian Clan's higher-ups, responsible for reporting on others or spreading rumors. In return, the Lian Clan's higher-ups would give them extra food.
Seeing that some villagers still had doubts about Yi Yun's words, they added, "You think this little monkey is strong? Compared to Young Master Lian, he's nothing!"
"What's so great about defeating Zhao Tiezhu? Zhao Tiezhu is just an ordinary person like us. But Young Master Lian has already reached the Purple Blood Realm. Do you even know what the Purple Blood Realm is? Lord Zhang, who came to our village before, was only at the Purple Blood Realm. That's practically like a celestial being!"
The scene of Zhang Yuxian riding Giant Beast and easily severing a tree as thick as a person's embrace with a single hand chop has been deeply ingrained in people's minds. Everyone knows just how terrifying the Purple Blood Realm is. Compared to that, Zhao Tiezhu, who can only wrestle with people, is nothing.
"In our eyes, Yi Yun is capable, but compared to Young Master Lian, he's nothing! Only Young Master Lian can lead everyone to a good life. Are you going to distrust Young Master Lian and choose to believe this little brat instead?"
Someone is shouting again.
It must be said that the Lian Clan's ruling class has been deeply entrenched over the years, and it would be extremely difficult for Yi Yun to influence their foundation with just a few words, especially since Yi Yun has no evidence to prove it.
Moreover, the entire tribe has now focused its efforts on Lian Chengyu, and Lian Chengyu has "lived up to expectations," achieving another breakthrough in strength and reaching the Purple Blood Realm.
Everyone hoped that Lian Chengyu could change their lives. At a time like this, how could they not believe Lian Chengyu and instead believe Yi Yun, a twelve-year-old child?
Even if Yi Yun defeats Zhao Tiezhu, it will be the same!
Yi Yun had anticipated all of this. Actually, it didn't matter. He hadn't expected to bring down Lian Chengyu with just a few words. He only needed to plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of the people.
The Great Wilderness is a world where strength reigns supreme; the victor is king and the loser is villain—this has always been the case!
Do victors need evidence to convince the people? That's superfluous, because the words of the powerful victors are the rules, the law, and the truth.
Strong people don't need to say much to explain themselves; others will subconsciously believe them, and have no choice but to believe them.
Yi Yun's appearance today was actually a sign that he was mentally prepared to fight Lian Chengyu head-on.
He knew that Lian Chengyu could not possibly break through to the Purple Blood Realm with the "essence" of that depleted, energyless bone.
Lian Chengyu was at the peak of Qi Induction, while I had just entered the Qi Induction Realm and had also reached the stage of having a pulse like a dragon.
He was confident of victory!
However, Yi Yun was still wary of Yao Yuan, as he didn't know Yao Yuan's true strength.
He waited, waiting for Lian Chengyu to make a move, while Yi Yun secretly observed Yao Yuan.
However, to Yi Yun's surprise, Lian Chengyu had no intention of making a move. He just looked at him with a gloomy expression!
Lian Chengyu cannot make a move today!
Yao Yuan had already warned him that he was so enraged that he damaged his heart meridian.
If he fights despite his injuries, that's fine, but he won't be able to recover to his peak condition during the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection Empress!
