Chapter 2213: Chapter 2210: Defeated
"There seems to be some bad blood between them!" Ling Feng saw this scene and couldn’t help asking.
The tribal youth next to Ling Feng lowered his voice and said, "Big Brother Ling, that guy over there is the Young Master of the Waning Moon Tribe, Qian Yue. He’s also one of Sister Ru Jiao’s admirers. Once he mouthed off disrespectfully to Sister Ru Jiao and got the crap beaten out of him by Brother Shi Yue. I heard both his legs were broken, and back then he was crying for his dad and mom, begging for mercy!"
Ling Feng was a bit surprised. He turned his head to look at Yu Rujiao, and saw her staring blankly at the man standing at the very front of the tribe.
Shi Yue might not be the strongest in the tribe right now, but whenever the tribe ran into hardship or was attacked by enemies, he was always the first to step forward and shield all the clansmen behind him.
"Do I dislike him because I don’t like him as a person, or because I don’t like the way people look at us?" Yu Rujiao fell silent.
"Hmph, Shi Yue, last time it was only because this young master’s body was in bad shape that you got the chance to take advantage. But now it’s different! You’re no longer my match, and I’ve already lost any interest in you!" Qian Yue said coolly.
"Is that so?" Shi Yue grinned viciously. "Then come on, let’s have a one-on-one battle. I want to see what skills you think you have to come here and propose marriage!"
Qian Yue sneered. "Since you’re looking for death, I’ll grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished talking, Qian Yue gripped his long sword, vaulted into the air, and hacked down at Shi Yue.
With a deafening boom, blade and spear clashed, and the two of them were both forced back dozens of steps. That first exchange was actually evenly matched!
Shi Yue’s face showed disbelief. "How did your strength improve this much? How is that possible!"
Qian Yue sneered and said, "This young master already told you, last time it was because I wasn’t feeling well that you got the chance. But now it’s different. This young master is going to settle all the previous grudges in one go!"
At the same time, Qian Yue looked toward Yu Rujiao. "Ru Jiao girl, once I beat this Silly Shi, I’ll marry you, and tonight will be our wedding night!"
Yu Rujiao’s pretty face was frosty. "Pah, keep dreaming!"
"Haha, once I defeat your so‑called number one expert, who else in your tribe could be my opponent?" Qian Yue shouted loudly, then once again hefted his long sword and charged forward.
"Fiery Flame Slash!" Qian Yue roared. The long sword in his hand turned into a massive Fierce Flame and slashed down toward Shi Yue.
Shi Yue snorted coldly. "You really look down on me! Rock Golem Armor!"
Countless rock fragments rapidly spread out from under Shi Yue’s feet, clinging tightly to his body. In no time, a thick layer of Rock Golem Armor appeared on him.
With a thunderous crash, the Fierce Flame smashed heavily into Shi Yue’s body, but it didn’t inflict any damage at all, completely blocked by his rocky Armor.
"Rock Spikes!" Shi Yue barked in a deep voice. In an instant, countless sharp spikes suddenly shot up from the ground and surged toward Qian Yue.
"Mere Rock Spikes, and you think they can hurt me?" Qian Yue growled low, swinging his long sword in a sudden arc. A chilling flash of blade light swept out, and countless spikes were cut apart by One Cut Slash.
"Is that so?" A cold light flashed in Shi Yue’s eyes. "Earth Burst!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble—countless rocks shot up from the ground, sealing off all of Qian Yue’s escape routes, then suddenly closed in around him. A violent roar erupted from within the stones, followed by a massive explosion. The rocks shattered, and Qian Yue spewed blood as he crashed to the ground.
"Young Master!" The people of the Waning Moon Tribe rushed over and quickly helped Qian Yue up from the ground.
Qian Yue’s face twisted in pain. "I’m dying, I’m dying, how is this guy still so damn strong? Didn’t Master say he’s no longer my match? How come I still can’t beat him? Ow ow ow, be gentler, you trying to hurt this young master to death?"
The battle was over. Shi Yue stared at the people of the Waning Moon Tribe. "If you leave now, we can let bygones be bygones. But if you insist on battle, our White Stone Tribe is not easy to push around!"
"Fight, we have to fight. I’m going to trample the White Stone Tribe today and snatch Yu Rujiao back to be my bride!" Qian Yue wailed.
"Young Master, don’t worry. Tonight, Yu Rujiao will definitely be lying in the Young Master’s bed!" At this moment, a man in a black cloak stepped out. "Leave this Shi Yue to me."
"Master, you finally showed up. You have to properly teach Shi Yue a lesson, torture him to death and avenge me!" Qian Yue shouted.
"Who are you? You’re not from the Waning Moon Tribe, are you?" Shi Yue’s gaze tightened. This guy gave him a very dangerous feeling.
The cloaked man smiled. "I’m indeed not from the Waning Moon Tribe, but I am Qian Yue’s master. Since my disciple is in trouble, of course his master has to take action."
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. "This guy’s pretty strong. Shi Yue is no match for him."
A hint of surprise flashed across Yu Rujiao’s face. "Really? Shi Yue is the strongest genius our tribe has ever had. Even he’s no match for this cloaked man?"
Ling Feng nodded. "This cloaked man’s aura is much stronger than Shi Yue’s. He’s just deliberately suppressing it. I don’t know what his goal is. Logically speaking, both your White Stone Tribe and the Waning Moon Tribe are small tribes. How could you attract a powerhouse like this?"
At this time, the Clan Leader of the White Stone Tribe stepped forward. "It’s you? I didn’t expect you to end up at the Waning Moon Tribe. What is your purpose?"
Everyone was a bit surprised. They hadn’t expected the Clan Leader to actually know this cloaked man.
"Clan Leader of the White Stone Tribe, greetings." The cloaked man spoke with a trace of respect. "I told you before, the Abyss of the Netherworld doesn’t need this many weak races. If the White Stone Tribe is willing to submit, we can grant the White Stone Tribe a great deal of autonomy. How about it?"
The Clan Leader’s face was like ice. "So just because I refused you, you went and helped the Waning Moon Tribe attack us?"
"No, no, that’s only part of it. The more important reason is that the Waning Moon Tribe accepted my offer." The cloaked man smiled faintly. "Clan Leader of the White Stone Tribe, the Abyss of the Netherworld has been fractured for far too long. It’s time to unite it. If you insist on clinging to your rotten notions, the only future awaiting the White Stone Tribe is destruction."
"Who the hell is this guy, so arrogant he thinks he can swallow our White Stone Tribe?"
"Even if we die, we won’t be cowards who surrender! We will never bow!"
"That’s right, if the White Stone Tribe is swallowed, is it still the White Stone Tribe?"
...
The Clan Leader said calmly, "You hear the voices of our clansmen, don’t you? Our White Stone Tribe has our own rules and principles. We don’t go looking for trouble, but we’re not afraid of it either. The tribe is home to all of us. If we can’t even defend our own home, what face do we have to live with ourselves?"
