1712 Who Will Kill Who Isn’t a Foregone Conclusion Yet



Yi Yunyao was also a genius. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to beat Wang Yifan when she had been only a true disciple half as long as him. However, even with her talent and knowledge, she had never heard of such an astonishing rate of improvement. In half a year, even an ordinary genius would at most advance by a small level. Chu Yunfan's improvement speed, however, was simply leaps and bounds. This speed shocked her greatly.

"I just got lucky," Chu Yunfan said with a smile.

"Lucky? I don't think this is luck."

Yi Yunyao did not believe that Chu Yunfan was just lucky. There were indeed people who had been lucky enough to consume some kind of heavenly treasure and their cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds in just half a year. However, that was when they were in the lower levels, not now.

On top of that, she knew that Chu Yunfan's foundation was extremely solid with just a glance. It didn't seem like he had suddenly risen. On the contrary, it was more like he had cultivated step by step. Even she was a little surprised by this.

However, Yi Yunyao did not delve deeper into this because everyone had their own fortuitous encounters and secrets. Her relationship with Chu Yunfan was not that close to the point where she could casually ask about such things. This was a huge taboo for martial artists.

"But you really are bold. Although Wang Yifan has only become a true disciple not long ago, in terms of cultivation, he's far above you." Yi Yunyao looked at Chu Yunfan with a faint smile.

"I don't care who he is. Even if Li Qianyuan came personally, I wouldn't let myself be captured," Chu Yunfan said firmly, "In my dictionary, there's no such thing as surrender."

"You're so audacious, Chu Yunfan!" Yi Yunyao clapped her hands and laughed for Chu Yunfan. "What I admire about you isn't your strength. Even now, your strength is still not worth mentioning in my eyes. The most important thing is that you dare to punch the strong."

She finally understood why she had agreed to help Chu Yunfan back then. She was attracted by Chu Yunfan's high and mighty attitude. Not everyone dared to issue a challenge when they knew that they would lose.

"Thank you for your praise, Senior Yi," Chu Yunfan said with a smile.

"But do you know why Wang Yifan agreed to your challenge?" Yi Yunyao asked.

"I have my guesses," Chu Yunfan said nonchalantly.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Yi Yunyao said, "I've been enemies with him for many years, so of course I know what he's thinking. He already has the intention to kill you. This is just pushing the boat with the current. He wants to kill you, and your suggestion just gave him a chance."

"I know." Chu Yunfan nodded.

Of course, he could see this. Although Wang Yifan was rude and overbearing, he wasn't stupid. He knew that Chu Yunfan was trying to goad him, but he still agreed to a duel a year from now. He was just waiting for an opportunity to kill him openly.

As for Chu Yunfan's counterattack? Chu Yunfan was only an inner disciple. Even if he grew wings, he wouldn't be that powerful within a year.

"I know that you're still calm, but don't underestimate true disciples. I know that you're very strong, and I'm afraid that you still have a trump card that you haven't used. Perhaps even ordinary elite disciples are no match for you. However, if you think that true disciples are only slightly stronger than elite disciples, then you're very wrong."

Seeing Chu Yunfan's nonchalant expression, Yi Yunyao frowned. "Ordinary peak Interpreters, even if there are more than a hundred of them gathered together, won't be able to block my attacks. Though Wang Yifan's strength is slightly weaker than mine, it's not something you can imagine."

"I understand. Thank you for the advice, Senior Yi." Chu Yunfan nodded, cupped his hands, and sat up straight.

There was something he neglected to say. Yi Yunyao knew that Wang Yifan was taking the opportunity to kill Chu Yunfan. What she didn't know was that Chu Yunfan was also using this opportunity to kill Wang Yifan. Compared to Li Qianyuan, Wang Yifan was just a stumbling block on the road. He was not on the same level as Li Qianyuan. However, Wang Yifan's existence was a threat to Chu Yunfan's survival. He had to find a way to get rid of Wang Yifan.

"But at least I managed to buy myself a year, didn't I?" Chu Yunfan smiled.

A year later, it was uncertain who would win. He wasn't confident that he could kill Li Qianyuan in a year, but if it was just Wang Yifan, that wouldn't be a problem. His future was to climb to the peak of martial arts and even reach immortality. What was a mere Wang Yifan to him?

"A year? I know Wang Yifan well. He's ruthless. Although he said he would give you a year, he probably won't. He might suddenly make a move," Yi Yunyao said, "Do you know the grudge between me and him? Back then, before I became a true disciple, he became a true disciple before me. Later on, I was chased by an unknown person and almost lost my life. If it wasn't for the fact that I had some trump cards, I would've died. As for that person, although I haven't found any evidence, I know they're related to Wang Yifan. Back then, with my strength, ordinary peak Interpreters were no match for me."

This was the first time Chu Yunfan was hearing the details of the grudge between Yi Yunyao and Wang Yifan.

"So, do not think that you really have a year," Yi Yunyao warned.

"Many thanks, Senior Yi, but since I dared to say this, I'm naturally confident. Whether he comes here on his own or sends someone to kill me, I'm confident that I can escape unscathed. If he comes to kill me, that's for the best. I won't have to wait a year before I kill him."

Chu Yunfan's tone was sonorous and forceful, and his expression was resolute. Even Yi Yunyao was moved. She didn't know what kind of trump cards Chu Yunfan had, but when she thought about how he looked like he was going all out before she intervened, she guessed that he had already planned to kill Wang Yifan then.

"No matter what methods you have, it's best if you keep them for the very last second." Yi Yunyao gave Chu Yunfan a meaningful look. "However, you have a problem right now. Your appointment letter will be coming soon."
