Both Wang Yang and Ye Gucheng are very famous in the martial arts world.
Now, the two are facing each other on the street, which inevitably arouses suspicion.
When Wang Yang learned that the visitor was Ye Gucheng, he was also surprised.
But after thinking about it again, he returned to normal.
Naturally, he guessed that Ye Gucheng must have found out about his victory over Ximen Chuixue.
Ye Gucheng approached him at this time, presumably with the same purpose as Ximen Chuixue: to challenge him to a duel.
After thinking about it for a moment, Wang Yang smiled calmly and said:
"Lord Ye must be here to spar with me at this time, right?"
Hearing what Wang Yang said, Ye Gucheng nodded and said quite readily:
"That's right!"
"I had heard before that Alliance Leader Wang's swordsmanship was superb and unparalleled."
"Now that we have met, I should ask Alliance Leader Wang for some advice. I hope Alliance Leader Wang will not refuse."
Wang Yang smiled. He knew everything about Ye Gucheng's affairs.
Ye Gucheng was a proud man, so he never had any friends.
But he didn't care. A person living in this world without any rivals is truly lonely.
Before this, Ximen Chuixue was his rival.
Who would have thought that Ximen Chuixue, whom he regarded as his rival, would be defeated by Wang Yang.
Because of his pride, Wang Yang naturally became his new rival.
At this moment, Wang Yang's expression remained unchanged after hearing what Ye Gucheng said.
Just now, he had guessed why Ye Gucheng had come to find him.
After a slight pause, he began to speak:
"Since Lord Ye has said so, then let's go!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Gucheng was taken aback, seemingly shocked by Wang Yang's words.
"how?"
"Didn't City Lord Ye just say he wanted to spar with me?"
Seeing Ye Gucheng's surprised expression, Wang Yang asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Ye Gucheng looked slightly embarrassed and then began to explain:
"Alliance Leader Wang, to be able to fight you, I naturally need to be in top condition."
"Give me three days, how about we fight on the island in the middle of West Lake?"
Wang Yang paused for a moment, thinking that swordsmen like Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng were perhaps too particular.
Before engaging in combat with powerful opponents, Ximen Chuixue would burn incense and bathe.
Ye Gucheng has gone even further, stating that he needs three days to adjust his state of mind.
"Um?"
Seeing that Wang Yang remained silent for a long time, Ye Gucheng frowned slightly and spoke softly:
"Alliance Leader Wang?"
"But isn't my request a bit too much?"
Wang Yang recovered his senses and smiled, saying:
"Since Lord Ye has said so, then let's do as Lord Ye Gucheng says!"
"Three days from now, you and I will fight on the island in the middle of West Lake!"
After saying this, Wang Yang didn't linger and left with Zhao Min and the others.
Ye Gucheng saw this, frowned slightly, but then didn't think much of it and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, the onlookers were all shocked when they heard the two challenge each other to a duel.
"What?"
"Is Baiyun City Lord challenging Alliance Leader Wang to a duel on Lake Heart Island?"
"This is a battle of epic proportions!"
"It seems Hangzhou is about to get lively!"
"..."
Amid the discussion, everyone left to spread this explosive news.
Soon, news of Wang Yang's duel with Ye Gucheng spread like wildfire throughout the martial arts world.
Upon hearing this news, countless martial arts figures flocked to Hangzhou.
After all, Ye Gucheng was already famous, especially his move "Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens," which was said to be incredibly powerful.
Wang Yang, on the other hand, became even more famous for guarding Xiangyang City and Tahu City.
In particular, during the decisive battle of Tahu City, he single-handedly killed many martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty.
The fact that these two are now challenging each other to a duel is naturally causing quite a stir.
...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, many martial arts figures gathered in Hangzhou.
Besides, all sorts of people from all walks of life came.
People gathered in small groups in restaurants and teahouses, all discussing the upcoming decisive battle.
"Who do you think will win the final battle, the City Lord of Baiyun or Alliance Leader Wang?"
"It must be the Lord of Baiyun City!"
"His swordsmanship has reached its pinnacle, it's divine!"
"Alliance Leader Wang isn't bad either, is he?"
"That's right. In the battle of Tahu City, martial arts masters such as Iron-Blooded Marquis, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, and Zuo Lengchan all perished at his hands."
"I also have high hopes for Alliance Leader Wang. According to rumors, the Great Ming Sword God Ximen Chuixue has already been defeated by Alliance Leader Wang."
"What? Really?"
"Are you stupid? They already said it's just a rumor!"
"..."
Meanwhile, inside an inn called "Ruyi".
Wang Yang and the others have been staying here for the past two days.
"Young master, in the past two days, many martial arts practitioners have flooded into Hangzhou, and other inns are already overcrowded."
"They're all here for your battle with Ye Gucheng tomorrow!"
"Young Master, are you confident you can defeat Ye Gucheng?"
Zhao Min glanced at Wang Yang and said with a hint of worry.
Over the past two days, Zhao Min had heard that many martial arts figures were praising Ye Gucheng.
Although Wang Yang was powerful, Zhao Min couldn't help but worry about him.
Before Wang Yang could reply, Zhou Zhiruo interjected:
"Miss Zhao, do you look down on Alliance Leader Wang?"
"Ye Gucheng is powerful, but he is no match for Alliance Leader Wang. Alliance Leader Wang will undoubtedly win this decisive battle!"
When she said this, Zhou Zhiruo appeared very confident.
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo's sharp retort, Zhao Min's face darkened, and she retorted:
“Miss Zhou, I don’t mean to look down on Leader Wang.”
"But Ye Gucheng is a master swordsman, and his strength is unfathomable."
"It's best not to let our guard down!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo gave a cold laugh, scoffing at Zhao Min's words and saying indifferently:
"I'm convinced that Alliance Leader Wang will win!"
"Ye Gucheng is nothing to worry about."
Zhao Min's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this.
Just as he was about to say something more, Wang Yang suddenly spoke up:
Don't worry!
"I am confident in dealing with Ye Gucheng."
"His swordsmanship and strength are almost the same as Ximen Chuixue's before."
Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Zhou Zhiruo immediately looked at Zhao Min:
"Did you hear that? Alliance Leader Wang himself said it!"
"you……"
Zhao Min was stunned and speechless at Zhou Zhiruo's words.
Wang Yang didn't care about this; he was already used to the rivalry between the two women.
Not far away, Shangguan Haitang frowned slightly upon seeing Wang Yang's confident demeanor and muttered to herself:
"This Wang Yang is really arrogant and conceited!"
"You think you've already won before the competition even starts?"
"I refuse to believe that no one can deal with such an arrogant and conceited person."
"Lord Ye, please don't disappoint us this time! If you can kill Wang Yang, that would be even better."
