Chapter 368 Duel
Even though the tower is thousands of feet high, we dare not forget the stubborn stone.
People often miss their hometown. The flowers and grass, the footsteps of growing up together, the nights spent supporting each other... are all engraved in their blood and become a part of their life.
No one is born fearless, but the more love you have, the stronger your armor becomes.
Finally, the one with the strongest armor stood up and fought against the darkness of this world.
The grassland is vast and beautiful, but it cannot retain the soul that yearns for the sky.
Xiong Dun knew that he couldn't imprison Yun Chen forever.
For the long decades, if he let his guard down even once, Yun Chen would spread his wings like an eagle and leave resolutely.
It would be better to let her go and treat her not as a woman but as a respectable opponent.
Xiong Dun ordered someone to bring up Yun Chen's sword that was lost in the snow, and pointed at the whole audience and said to her:
"I can let you go, with the highest respect Luojiang gives to warriors - you can personally choose a warrior to duel. If you kill him, you can leave. If you are killed, you will stay forever - I said forever, live or die, you will stay."
At Xiong Dun's signal, the palace attendant brought a wine bowl made of a human skull.
Staring at the wine bowl, Yun Chen knew very well that the moment Xiong Dun ended his romantic feelings for her, she would have to leave here on her own.
Otherwise, the next thing to be made into a wine bowl might be her head. Maybe Xiong Dun would treasure it and take it to his grave.
Thinking of this, Yun Chen picked up the skull wine bowl and drank the wine.
"Okay, I agree."
The wedding banquet suddenly turned into a duel arena, and the whole audience was in an uproar and talking about it.
A burly Luojiang warrior stepped forward, pounding his chest and recommending himself to Yun Chen:
"General Yun, I am willing to be your opponent. You can choose me!"
With one person taking the lead, other Luojiang warriors also stood up and expressed their willingness to duel with Yun Chen. The scene suddenly became lively.
Yun Chen looked around at everyone, and they all had sincere expressions and no fear at all.
The warriors of Luojiang regard honor as more important than life.
Leaving after winning the battle would be far more convincing to the people of Luojiang than just letting her, the enemy general, go.
Yun Chen knew that this was the custom in Luojiang. The warriors were not afraid of death and took pride in dueling.
But she was really tired.
She doesn't want to kill anymore.
She asked loudly:
"Who is Luojiang's number one warrior? I want to meet him!"
Xiong Dun sincerely admired her. If Yunchen played tricks and deliberately picked someone weaker than her to compete with, no one would say anything, and would just think she was eager to leave.
But she wanted to pick the strongest opponent as a way to sincerely repay Luo Jiang for treating her like a guest of honor.
A warrior who was almost as big as Xiong Dun stood up, roared, and prepared to go on the court.
Yun Chen said, "Wait a minute."
She asked Xiong Dun to help her translate and ask what was the greatest achievement of the number one warrior in Naluojiang?
Xiong Dun said, "I know without him telling you. He can defeat a squad of 100 men at once, and he once single-handedly killed a full-grown black bear in the forest with a machete."
Yun Chen understood, "Okay, give me a dagger, I want to duel with two black bears."
Xiong Dun was silent, unconsciously clenched his fists, and then spoke Yun Chen's words in Luojiang dialect, which immediately aroused the amazement of the audience.
Even the number one warrior in Naluojiang opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Yun Chen didn't care about all this. She took off the heavy cow horn bun on her head, combed and tied her hair again, and then took off her heavy wedding gown, leaving only two pieces of clothing, returning to her original thin appearance.
"Are you sure you don't want to use your best sword?" Xiong Dun asked with a frown.
"I'm sure," she said. "Your first warrior uses a machete, and I use a dagger. If he kills one black bear, I'll kill two. That way, even if I win, it's fair."
After a pause, Xiong Dun frowned more and more tightly and threw the dagger he had carried on his body for more than ten years to her.
She raised her wrist to catch it and gave him a sincere smile.
At that moment, Xiong Dun felt that he was finally recognized by this woman.
Xiong Dun said no more and signaled the guard to go to the zoo to take the bear away.
While waiting, Yun Chen began to recall the experience of killing a bear in Dongyan. Thinking carefully about the bear's shortcomings and flaws, she decided to use the previous moves, attacking the eyes first and then the throat.
Amid the roaring cheers of the audience, two black bears were locked in cages and pushed into the arena.
Yun Chen looked up confidently, and immediately gave himself a slap in the face in his heart.
How could I forget that Luojiangren are larger than normal humans! The same goes for bears!
The two black bears in front of her were obviously more than twice as big as the one she had killed before!
Moreover, bears in hibernation are like being woken up after a night of sleep. They are irritable and have a bad temper, and are more lethal.
All the Luojiang people around her were cheering for her.
She wiped the sweat from her head and thought to herself, the atmosphere is already so tense, I have to go, right?
She gave a thumbs up to Luojiang's number one warrior who was also cheering, indicating that his title was genuine and definitely not false, and then she took a horse stance and prepared for a fight.
Two black bears slowly walked out of the cage, opened their mouths and let out a terrifying growl.
Yun Chen looked back and forth between the two black bears, wanting to attack one of them first.
Before they could make a choice, the two black bears disliked each other and started fighting.
They stand up on their two powerful hind legs, their bodies are huge but they move agilely, roaring and waving their paws.
The two giants collided with each other with a loud bang, causing the earth to shake.
The onlookers were so frightened that they took several steps back, fearing that they had not moved far enough away.
Looking at the two black bears who were both very irritable, Yun Chen seized the opportunity and attacked them with light skills.
She leaped up as lightly as a bird, jumped onto the neck of one of the black bears, and stabbed the bear's eye with a knife, causing the bear to struggle in pain. It angrily swung its paw and grabbed her back.
In an instant, everyone's heart was in their throat.
