Chapter 1704 — Something Ominous

So at present there seemed to be only one explanation: Wei Zhao had absolute confidence. And if that was so, then the Yu family was in danger this time.

Liu Tianyi's eyebrows lifted slightly. He strode quickly toward Wei Zhao and, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, greeted him warmly: "Divine Doctor Lin, you've come! You might have given us some warning — I would have come to meet you..."

"Ha, I'm here to wreck the place. If I'd told you, wouldn't that have dragged you into it?" Wei Zhao was rather surprised too — that Liu Tianyi would openly support him at a moment like this! After all, in everyone's eyes Wei Zhao's current strength was more than a notch below the Yu family's, yet Liu Tianyi could still support him decisively. That was no small thing!

And so, in that very instant, the Liu family too was drawn into Wei Zhao's list of those he could use.

"What sort of talk is that? What dragging in or not dragging in? You saved my father's life — you are a great benefactor to the Liu family. For your sake, our Liu family would go through fire and water without a second thought!" Liu Tianyi said.

"You're a good man!" Wei Zhao nodded. "But Mr. Liu, you'd best step aside for now. You're not a ** practitioner — the business here is beyond you."

"Understood!" Liu Tianyi did not put on airs. He nodded and slipped to one side.

"Liu Tianyi, aren't you something? The moment Wei Zhao shows up, you go lick his boots. We of the Yu family will remember this grudge!" Yu Shuixing felt utterly humiliated — Liu Tianyi had slapped him across the face in broad daylight. So Yu Shuixing made up his mind: once this business was over, the Liu family would be the next to be cut down!

"Enough, don't bother remembering it. I'd say after today you'll have lost your memory function altogether," Wei Zhao said flatly.

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Feng snarled. "Wei Zhao, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're one rank above me. My father is a top expert at the peak of the late Mystic Rank, a ** of great power, only a single step from the Earth Rank. Kneel and beg for mercy now, and there's still time!"

"He doesn't know what it means?" Wei Zhao shrugged and said to Shen Yushu, "Little Shu, this one's a bit simple in the head. You tell him what it means."

"What Brother Arrowhead means is that after today you'll be a dead man, and dead men have no memories!" Shen Yushu finished and looked at Wei Zhao smugly. "Brother Arrowhead, did Little Shu get it right?"

"Congratulations, absolutely right!" Wei Zhao nodded.

"Oh yeah!" Shen Yushu pumped a victory sign.

"Hahahahaha!" Yu Feng burst out laughing. "Wei Zhao, is there something wrong with your brain? With a handful of you — the old, the weak, the sick, the crippled — you think you can come and wreck this place? Who do you think you are?"

"A cripple can still beat you to death!" Chen Yutian clenched his fist and looked at Yu Feng. "Yu Feng, didn't your Yu family say it? If we want to settle our grievances, we can do it by force? Very well — I challenge you now!"

"Challenge me? You?" Yu Feng's eyes went wide, as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "A cripple like you wants to challenge me? Chen Yutian, do you have a death wish?"

"It's not certain yet who dies!" Chen Yutian said calmly. "The humiliation of that day — I will wash it clean today!"

"Head of the Chen family, you saw it — it's your grandson who's courting death, not us cutting off all escape!" Yu Feng said to Chen Kuanglan. "You know the rules of the house-clan grievance arena as well as I do: life and death are each man's fate, and no one may pursue the matter afterward!"

Chen Kuanglan was astonished by Chen Yutian's sudden appearance, and even more astonished by his sudden challenge to Yu Feng. But in his view, his grandson was not the sort to be so rash — and besides, Shen Yushu was there too. How could she stand by and watch Chen Yutian go to his death?

There must be something in this he did not know. He did not know what it was, but still he said, "This is Yutian's decision, and I support him!"

"Good. To the arena in the training ground next door!" Yu Shuixing wanted to see just what trick Wei Zhao was playing, but to keep them from pulling any underhanded moves when the time came, Yu Shuixing spoke first: "Chen Yutian, since it's you who issued the challenge, then it's you who fights. That's right, isn't it? When the time comes, you won't be having someone stand in for you, will you?"

To be honest, Yu Shuixing truly feared that Chen Yutian might have Wei Zhao take the stage in his place. So he blocked that road in advance and went on: "And when the time comes, don't tell us that Wei Zhao is your sister's boyfriend and therefore counts as one of the Chen family!"

"No need. My own vengeance, I will take with my own hands!" Chen Yutian cast a look of contempt at Yu Shuixing.

"Good. You're courting death yourself, so blame no one else!" Yu Shuixing said. So long as Wei Zhao did not take the stage, all would be well. Chen Yutian was a cripple — never mind that he was still in a wheelchair now; even out of it, he was only a fighter of the early Mystic Rank, two ranks below Yu Feng. Yu Feng could beat him with ease and pleasure!

"No need for the arena. We can settle it right here!" Chen Yutian said.

"Hahahaha... suit yourself. But don't say I bullied you — in my hands you're a one-move wonder. You were before, and you are now!" Yu Feng laughed heartily and strode swaggeringly toward Chen Yutian. But his laughter suddenly broke off: "Gah!"

Because he saw that Chen Yutian, who had been sitting in his wheelchair, had now actually stood up! Yu Feng's eyes went wide. Wasn't Chen Yutian crippled? Hadn't he come in a wheelchair? How could he stand?

"You..." Yu Feng pointed at Chen Yutian in disbelief. "Aren't you crippled?"

"Who told you a cripple can't be cured? I just got out of the hospital — is that not allowed?" Chen Yutian looked at Yu Feng mockingly.

"Then why... why were you still in a wheelchair?" Yu Feng vaguely sensed that something was off, but he could not say just what. After all, however formidable Chen Yutian might be, he was only a fighter of the early Mystic Rank — and that was before his injury!

Even if Wei Zhao had some miraculous elixir that could heal Chen Yutian's wounds and restore his strength, he would still be only an early Mystic Rank fighter. Even if he had gained some insight and broken through during this time, he could only be a top expert at the peak of the early Mystic Rank — still one rank below himself. What was there to fear?

Yet Yu Feng had a nameless sense of foreboding. This business, he felt, was a little too strange.

"Oh, at the hospital I sat in that wheelchair every day. I just got used to it." Chen Yutian stretched lazily. "Standing up so suddenly, I feel a bit light-headed. The doctor told me to do some recovery training — so I'll just use you for the training!"
