On the high platform, the "evil hero" stared intently at Yang Xueqing, his face full of fear.
He had previously used words to intimidate the other party, preventing them from taking action against him.
But that doesn't mean he's completely unafraid of the other party.
He knew perfectly well that if he were to fight with all his might, he would be no match for his opponent.
"You're going to stand up for him?"
The "villain" frowned.
This turn of events was somewhat unexpected for him.
Based on his understanding of these grandmaster martial artists, he knew that a young hero like Lin Ce, with limitless potential, would never be welcomed by them.
"That's right. For my sake, let's leave it at that. You can leave with your people, and I guarantee no one will stop you."
Yang Xueqing looked at the "evil knight" and said this.
This is almost a tone of negotiation, which shows that although Yang Xueqing stood up for Lin Ce, she still did not intend to truly confront the "evil hero".
That alone is enough for him to be proud of.
Anyone else in this situation would have known better than to back down now and do Grandmaster Yang Xueqing a favor.
However, the "villain" has no intention of doing so.
During his recent battle with Lin Ce, he inevitably felt a deep sense of fear.
How much time has passed since our last meeting?
However, the young man's martial arts skills have improved significantly.
Even describing it as a rapid and dramatic improvement is still an understatement.
Will someone like that stop here?
The "evil knight" doesn't think so.
He even felt that this might be his last chance to kill his opponent.
The next time we meet, their strength might have increased by leaps and bounds again. By then, even if I have completely stabilized my Grandmaster level strength, I might still find it difficult to kill them.
This is an opportunity you absolutely cannot miss!
Having made this decision, the "evil knight" gritted his teeth and shook his head.
“Master Yang, I respect you, but that doesn’t mean I can allow you to interfere in my affairs without any limits.”
After a chilling laugh, he said:
"If you insist on interfering, then I have no choice but to disregard everything and ask you, a true master, for guidance."
He brazenly threatened a grandmaster in front of everyone present.
Yang Xueqing's gaze turned cold.
She was willing to take a step back, simply for the sake of the bigger picture.
But that doesn't mean that others can trample on him with impunity.
The azure sky began to slowly shift, signifying that she was enraged and preparing to strike again.
"Peak Master, you mustn't."
Just then, a voice came from beside her, and someone from Biyue Peak persuaded her to stop.
"Doesn't the Peak Master think more about the foundation of Azure Water Peak? Even if this battle affects the overall situation, it is still unavoidable?"
"Hmph, what big picture? Teaching a guy who hasn't even fully become a grandmaster a lesson, how can that affect the big picture?"
Yang Xueqing gave a disdainful sneer.
"Whether that's the case or not, the Peak Master knows it very well, but isn't this decision also influenced by that person?"
"presumptuous!"
Yang Xueqing gave a cold shout, and the entire sky trembled.
“Azure Water Peak has been without a peak master for a long time, and I think you are becoming more and more unruly.”
Yang Xueqing's emotions fluctuated significantly for the first time.
She was determined to take this seriously, ignoring the advice of those around her.
But she ultimately failed.
Two other masters present stopped her.
"Master Yang, have you forgotten our tacit agreement? No!"
"What if I insist on taking action?"
"Then we two can't say for sure, we can only ask Master Yang for some guidance."
Yang Xueqing fell silent immediately.
She was naturally confident in dealing with the "evil knight".
But if the target were two grandmasters, the situation would be quite different.
These two guys were reluctant to deal with the "evil hero," but they were incredibly eager to stop her from rescuing Lin Ce.
Yang Xueqing knew perfectly well what was going on in his mind.
However, even knowing this, she couldn't change anything.
"Fine, I won't get involved."
As she said this, she turned her cold face away and looked away from Lin Ce.
Meanwhile, some distance behind Lin Ce, the joy that had just appeared on Su Caiying's face vanished instantly.
Her eyes were filled with resentment as she looked in the direction where Grandmaster Yang Xueqing was.
Lin Ce's mindset, however, did not change much.
He hadn't expected Yang Xueqing to make a move.
If the other party lends a helping hand, that would be great, but if this is the final outcome, then it's alright.
He had only planned to face the "villain" alone.
"Master Yang, thank you for your concern, but there's no need."
Regardless of the outcome, the other party had at least intended to lend a helping hand, and Lin Ce felt he should politely express his gratitude.
Then, he looked at the "villain".
"Come on, continue, and see if it's as you think, that making the knife bigger will hurt me."
Many martial artists present were shocked and exclaimed in admiration.
They had never seen such an arrogant teenager.
The fact that the "evil hero" dared to challenge the grandmaster was already arrogant enough.
But he himself is at least half a grandmaster, and he is roughly on the same level as the person he is challenging.
Lin Ce, however, was different. He directly challenged the Grandmaster level from the Innate level.
In comparison, his arrogance clearly surpasses that of the "villain".
But is his strength enough to match his arrogance?
All the martial artists present watched with bated breath.
"Good, good, good, only guys like this can make things a little interesting."
The "evil knight" laughed wildly, urging his internal energy to mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
An even larger longsword appeared in mid-air.
The three grandmasters' eyes flashed with apprehension.
The "evil hero" is indeed no ordinary person.
This time, the size of the longsword far surpasses that of the previous one.
This means that, in a short period of time, his control over the vital energy within his body has greatly improved.
Only in this way can the scale of the mobilized power of heaven and earth be increased so dramatically.
The two adversaries before them, one Lin Ce and the other "evil knight," are clearly both exceptionally talented individuals.
The appearance of even one such person is astonishing.
Unexpectedly, two people appeared in the same place at the same time.
"Given time, both of them will leave a significant mark on the records of Qianqiu Pavilion."
The gold-medal writer of Qianqiu Pavilion sighed in this way.
Unfortunately, today, probably only one person can survive here.
Which one could it be?
The writer has taken out paper and pen and begun to write down the record.
This battle, at this point, is already worthy of being recorded in history.
So, will the next strike decide the outcome, or even determine life and death?
The writer, holding the golden pen, looked into the room without blinking.
