Chapter 442: Victory or Defeat

"You are so arrogant. I wanted to give you some points, but you were too disdainful to fight me." Qu He was a little angry, so he did not intend to show mercy to An Yan's men.

This made the old man in the stands anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He couldn't help but jump a little and said to Yan Qingqiu, "Oh, look at the city director's character. He actually removed the protective layer. How can this be allowed?"

"Don't be anxious, An Yan must have a reason." Li Rongsen said this not to persuade the old man, but to persuade himself.

Yan Qingqiu held a hidden weapon in his hand. He didn't want to be a gentleman and was ready to be a villain, but the eldest lady of the East Mansion held him down and said, "You can't do this. It will ruin An Yan's reputation."

"I can't care less about that," Yan Qingqiu said, and then whispered to the eldest daughter of the East Mansion, "She must be injured. You can tell by looking at her expression."

The eldest lady of the East Mansion also understood An Yan's words and deeds. She said, "But this is a life and death contract. We have made this bet. If you use other means, it will only make people laugh at An Yan's character."

"Never mind him. Anyan knows how to disguise herself anyway. We can come back another day." Yan Qingqiu thought that everything else was secondary. The most important thing was to knock Qu He down first.

"Stop making trouble." The eldest lady of the East Mansion sneered at Yan Qingqiu.

Yan Qingqiu sighed and retracted the hidden weapon, saying, "This is so annoying. Why bother with Bai Yucheng?"

"You're talking nonsense again. Serving Bai Yucheng is one thing, and getting Qu He to obey is another." The old man scoffed at Yan Qingqiu and added, "Don't forget, this bastard has been causing trouble for West City for a long time."

"Why do we have to do it on this day?" Yan Qingqiu was not convinced and looked at Li Rongsen.

Li Rongsen was no longer in the mood to talk. His eyes never left An Yan, and he also noticed that she seemed to be going all out.

Qu He, on the other hand, was in high spirits. He made gestures as if he was practicing Tai Chi, then leaped into the air, hovered above the arena, and slapped An Yan.

The palm was like fireworks at first, then like flying flowers, and finally turned into a violent storm, attacking An Yan.

An Yan welcomed them calmly. She had almost no means of protection, as if she was undergoing a baptism. She also cast a large barrier to protect the onlookers so that they would not be affected.

But even so, the onlookers could feel the strong and huge energy waves, as if there was an earthquake, which made them a little frightened.

"Not good." Li Rongsen felt inexplicably sad, and he had already flown into the center of the arena. He saw An Yan covering her chest and not knowing what she had swallowed.

When An Yan saw Li Rongsen coming over, she said to him, "What are you doing here? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

The shock waves here have not yet dissipated, and Li Rongsen naturally felt the impact of the energy on him. It can be seen that the clothes on Qu He are very different and really creepy.

Li Rongsen asked: "I'm worried about you."

An Yan was slightly moved and said to him, "I'm fine, I can still stand."

Qu He couldn't believe his eyes. Seeing An Yan still standing there intact, he started to go crazy and said, "This is impossible. This can't happen. You absolutely can't be my opponent. How can you still be standing here? This is impossible. You should be torn into pieces!"

An Yan pushed Li Rongsen back to the stands, and saw Qu He slapping her again, this palm was filled with endless anger and resentment, determined to take her life.

"Qu He, we agreed on three palms. This is the fourth palm, so it's no wonder I took action." An Yan said as she quickly stepped forward, grabbed Qu He's arm, and threw him into the lake again.

The lake seemed to have exploded, causing the entire place to shake. It was like throwing a large rock into an iron pot, splashing scalding hot water everywhere, causing people to grit their teeth in pain.

An Yan raised his right hand again, made a grabbing gesture, picked up Qu He from the lake, and threw him into the center of the arena.

At this time, the lake returned to calm and everything was quiet again.

Qu He was lying on his back, almost unable to move, but he was still conscious. As a man, he shed tears for the first time, not for anything else, but simply because he had lost.

Everyone came over from the stands to the arena and looked at Qu He lying on the ground like a living dead.

Li Rongsen looked at An Yan and asked, "How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"

"Of course not." An Yan answered him, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous, and that she was fine.

Qinghua from Flower Snake Mountain said, "What am I talking about? Why bother to challenge the City Lord of West City? You're just looking for trouble."

The old man from the southern suburbs also came up to congratulate the old man with a forced smile, saying to him, "Look, now you have another piece of Feng Shui treasure land. You should treat us to fish and shrimp in the future."

The old man did not respond to this. He was worried about whether An Yan was okay. Qu He's palm strike was no joke.

The eldest lady of the East Mansion went to see An Yan and asked her, "Does it hurt?"

An Yan chuckled at her but said nothing.

Yan Qingqiu stepped forward to hold An Yan's wrist, and his face immediately turned pale. An Yan squeezed his hand, then let it go, saying, "I'm fine, but he's in trouble. I'm afraid he's going to become a vegetable."

"Uncle, uncle! It's me who hurt you, it's me who hurt you." Lan Yu flew over. Seeing Qu He lying motionless, she felt remorseful. This uncle had treated her well, but now he had ended up like this. She said to An Yan, "City Lord, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have coveted Li Rongsen. I don't want him anymore. Can you save my uncle? We are willing to give you all the pearls, okay?"

"You still have the nerve to beg for help." Qinghua from Huashe Mountain sneered.

Lan Yu couldn't refute this and could only cry.

The old man gestured for Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen to take An Yan and leave first. Then he said to Lan Yu, "We will go back first. You can present the pearl."

Lan Yu stood there in a daze and cried even harder. She was very scared now. She was not only afraid that her uncle would not come back, but also that she would die.

An Yan, Li Rongsen and Yan Qingqiu got on the carriage, and the old man drove the car himself. He signaled others to go back first and asked those coming from West City to stay away.

"What's wrong with you? I see you're sweating a lot." Li Rongsen said as he wiped the sweat from An Yan's forehead with his sleeve.

An Yan said, "It's okay." Then she spat out two mouthfuls of blood.

Li Rongsen was so frightened that he lost his temper and quickly went to the carriage to find medicine. He handed it to An Yan and said, "Eat this, it's Ganoderma lucidum."

An Yan did not take it, but just took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing slightly.

Li Rongsen asked her, "It seems like the injury is serious. Will there be any sequelae?"

"It's okay. It's normal to have some injuries. The human body is made of flesh, not diamond, which is indestructible." An Yan pushed Li Rongsen's arm away and asked him to put the medicine back. She couldn't take the medicine at this time.

The old man said outside the carriage: "City Lord, I can't listen to you this time. Even if you say you don't want the land in Quhe, I will take it. It's not that easy."

"I don't care about you. If you want it, then take it. Besides, I earned it." An Yan said.

"That's exactly what I mean. After suffering so much, there's no reason not to learn." The old man snorted.

Yan Qingqiu didn't care about these things. He only asked An Yan, "Why did you take off your protective layer? You knew that the iron wire clothes he was wearing were extremely powerful."
