Lü Yunshan Refused to Accept Defeat and Wanted Another Bet

In Guan Jie's view, once his punch struck Ye Nan, Ye Nan would be sent flying backward in an instant.

There was nothing to be done about it. That was the gap in their strength.

Guan Jie wondered how Ye Nan would keep acting so arrogantly then.

But what Guan Jie never expected was that, after he threw his furious punch at Ye Nan-

The punch actually missed.

How was that possible!!!

Guan Jie's face changed in shock. How could he have imagined that Ye Nan was so fast?

He had used Cloud Steps before attacking Ye Nan!

The people from Hailin City at the edge of the training ground could not help being shocked by the sight.

In their view, there was absolutely no way Ye Nan could withstand Guan Jie's punch.

But the fact was, Ye Nan had dodged it.

For a moment, the training ground was so silent that a falling needle could be heard.

The martial artists from the Jiangcheng City Lord's Manor, however, knew this was perfectly normal.

After all, Guan Jie's strength simply could not compare to Ye Nan's.

By now, Ye Nan and Guan Jie had put some distance between them.

After Guan Jie recovered from his shock, he stared coldly at Ye Nan.

"Ye Nan, I didn't expect you to be so fast. It seems I underestimated you!"

Guan Jie's voice was icy. He knew that if he wanted to defeat Ye Nan, he would have to give it his all.

He was fighting Ye Nan with the glory of Hailin City on his shoulders. He could not afford to lose.

Listening to Guan Jie, Ye Nan thought that even at a time like this,

Guan Jie was still seeking comfort for himself. In that case, he would give him something terrifying.

He then used Flowing Light Shadow Steps.

Guan Jie had used Cloud Steps before attacking him, so now he would use Flowing Light Shadow Steps.

He wanted to see how Guan Jie would respond.

The moment Ye Nan used Flowing Light Shadow Steps, golden light surged beneath his feet.

It was as though a golden wind-and-fire wheel had appeared.

Whoosh!

Immediately afterward, Ye Nan headed straight for Guan Jie.

Guan Jie had never seen anything like Flowing Light Shadow Steps. He watched Ye Nan come toward him, flowing light coiling around his entire body.

His pupils immediately contracted. In Guan Jie's eyes, this simply could not be real.

Was this an illusion?

At the edge of the training ground, the group from Hailin City watched Ye Nan use Flowing Light Shadow Steps, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

"This is..."

Several martial artists from the Jiangcheng City Lord's Manor also watched Ye Nan use Flowing Light Shadow Steps.

Expressions of disbelief appeared on all their faces.

After the West Town Catacombs appeared, they had been ordered to go and wipe out what was inside.

But in the deepest part of the West Town Catacombs, they had seen a scene similar to the one before them.

Before they could react back then, Ye Nan had already disappeared.

They had thought that a powerful expert from another city had appeared in the West Town Catacombs.

Who could have imagined that expert was Ye Nan?

With Flowing Light Shadow Steps in use, Guan Jie naturally could not react in time.

After he reached Guan Jie, a figure was sent flying backward in an instant.

That figure was none other than Guan Jie.

When the people from Hailin City at the edge of the training ground saw Guan Jie crash to the ground, they all froze as though turned to stone.

Their eyes were wide open. They simply could not understand why Guan Jie had been defeated so quickly.

When had such a heaven's chosen appeared in Jiangcheng?

This was far too terrifying.

Hailin City's city lord, Lü Yunshan, and the others were still sunk in deep silence.

The people from Jiangcheng, however, had already recovered.

City Lord Sun Wu was the first to walk over to Lü Yunshan and his group.

When he reached them, Sun Wu gave Lü Yunshan a smug smile and said,

"City Lord Lü, according to our agreement, your Hailin City has lost."

Hearing Sun Wu say this, Lü Yunshan and the others hurriedly looked again at where Guan Jie had fallen.

They saw that Guan Jie was in no condition to move. He lay unconscious on the ground.

When they saw that Guan Jie could no longer move, Lü Yunshan and the people from Hailin City immediately grew anxious.

The starstone mine on the border between Hailin City and Jiangcheng had been theirs for the taking.

The reason they had each sent a genius to fight was not only to make Jiangcheng accept the outcome wholeheartedly.

They had also wanted to humiliate Jiangcheng, the implication being, how could Jiangcheng possibly compare to their Hailin City?

The people from Jiangcheng in the City Lord's Manor were already overjoyed.

Starstone ore was excellent for forging weapons. Once the mine had been fully excavated,

Jiangcheng would have a wonderful opportunity to develop.

"Sun Wu, wait!"

Just then, Lü Yunshan called out coldly.

When Sun Wu and the group beside him heard this, their expressions turned grave.

"City Lord Lü, you're not thinking of going back on your word, are you?"

Sun Wu stared at Lü Yunshan. "We have it in black and black. If you insist on going back on your word, we can only go to the governor's manor and ask the governor to decide."

"Don't be so hasty, Sun Wu. I, Lü Yunshan, keep my word. I just want to make another bet with your Jiangcheng!"

Lü Yunshan stared at Sun Wu as he spoke.

Everyone on the training ground, Ye Nan included, grew somewhat curious at Lü Yunshan's words.

They all wanted to know what else Lü Yunshan wanted to bet with them.

"When it comes to martial arts, I admit that your Jiangcheng's Ye Nan is too formidable, but our Jiangcheng also has an alchemy genius."

"If you win, I'll hand over the starstone mine in our Hailin City for your Jiangcheng to mine as well."

"But if you lose, you'll have to return the starstone mine on the border between our cities to our Hailin City."

Lü Yunshan spoke.

Hearing Lü Yunshan's words, the people from Jiangcheng in the square all knew why he was doing this.

He simply could not accept handing over the starstone mine on the border between the two cities just like that.

"I refuse."

Sun Wu shook his head at Lü Yunshan.

He was not the sort of person to gain an advantage and still act coy.

"Don't refuse so quickly. Give it some thought."

Seeing Sun Wu refuse, Lü Yunshan urged him to reconsider.

Listening to the conversation between Lü Yunshan and City Lord Sun Wu, Ye Nan could not help feeling like laughing.

Why was Lü Yunshan so determined to make trouble for himself?

He then walked slowly over to City Lord Sun Wu and lowered his voice.

"City Lord, if it's a genius alchemist, I can do it."

"You can?"

City Lord Sun Wu was stunned to hear Ye Nan say this.

Then he understood.

Zhang Yueshan, the leader of the Alchemist Alliance, had told him

That Ye Nan was a rare alchemy genius.

"Ye Nan, can you really do it?"

"I can."

Ye Nan answered.

People looked after one another. He knew that if he did more for the City Lord's Manor,

His parents would receive more care after he left Jiangcheng.
