C43 Belated Arrival

Although Lee Yingying tried to protect Tang Yi, she didn't see him even until before sunset. Ma Xiaoyi was originally speechless, but as time went by, she became more confident that Tang Yi might really have been killed by his master.

"Tang Yi, are you really a cowardly turtle? If you still don't show up, then you lost today's competition."

He did not care about what Lee Yingying would say, and continued to declare his victory ahead of time: "Failure is not scary, what's scary is not daring to face your own failure. Tang Yi, you are a complete coward."

Pointing at the life and death arena beneath her feet, Ma Xiaoyi puffed out her chest slightly. "You don't even have the courage to look me in the eye. How do you talk about martial arts and becoming stronger?"

"Enough!"

Lee Yingying heard Ma Xiaoyi continue to stamp on Tang Yi as she shouted with an ugly expression, "Tang Yi might have just encountered some problems and still hasn't arrived yet. For a self-righteous guy like you, Tang Yi only needs a simple little finger to crush you to death."

Ma Xiaoyi sniggered, "Then why isn't he here yet? Isn't it because he's afraid and doesn't dare to accept the challenge?"

Lee Yingying didn't know how to respond to Ma Xiaoyi's words. She cursed in her heart. Tang Yi was a bastard who usually ran away during times of excitement. How come he was nowhere to be seen now if she didn't let him fight?

However, no matter how much he searched, he was unable to find Tang Yi. He had a worried look in his eyes as he said, "Little sister Xiao Rou, do you think that something has happened to Tang Yi? How could he know about such a big commotion? Even if he's asleep, he should wake up by now."

"Probably not."

Qiao Rou was also worried, but seeing that Lee Yingying was even more nervous than she was, she tried her best to comfort her: "Didn't you say Brother Tang Yii was just a lowly person? Then he'll definitely be fine. He might be lost on the way right now, so he should be arriving soon."

Lee Yingying nodded her head slightly, accepting Qiao Rou's words. However, she was not worried at all, as if something had happened and her voice was barely audible, "Rascal, you have to be alright. You promised to be my slave for the rest of my life!"

Time passed second by second, Ma Xiaoyi's clamor became louder, "Tang Yi, you cowardly turtle, do you dare to come out and fight? Even if you don't dare, come out and say it, saving so many people waiting here for you alone. You can be shameless, but you can't be selfish and cause trouble and waste everyone's time."

"Exactly, if we can't beat him, then let's talk about it. What's the point of keeping everyone in suspense like this?"

"Damn, I thought there would be some great battle today, but I didn't expect one of them to be a cowardly turtle."

"But it's not strange. After all, if you go onto the Life and Death Stage, you will die. People that don't have some courage truly don't dare to go up."

The crowd was riled up by Ma Xiaoyi, and they all started to denounce Tang Yi, who hadn't appeared yet. Lee Yingying wanted to say something, but it was unnecessary if she didn't appear now, so she looked at Ma Xiaoyi unkindly. She felt that this guy was abnormal today.

While the crowd around the life and death arena was in an uproar, in the distant Middle Palace, Yu Wuya, who was standing behind the old man, said, "Master, it's better if we go back. That Tang Yi probably won't appear, and as Lee Yingying's servant, it doesn't mean he has the strength to fight against the top ten disciples in the outer sect."

"Otherwise!"

Elder Yue gently shook her head as she looked at Ma Xiaoyi, who was standing on the stage from a distance, "Although this Ma Xiaoyi might have some ability, she is a frivolous person and her cultivation is limited. I am actually a little curious about Tang Yi, who has yet to appear."

While Yu Wuya was listening respectfully, Elder Yue said softly, "After all, he was the one who defeated Haoyue, Xian Qin. Although it might be a rumor, but there is no wind, so there won't be any waves, right?"

"Think about it, if a middle stage Holy Heart Stage practitioner shouts his name, isn't it fun?"

Yu Wuya seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment, he respectfully nodded his head: "I understand." He then looked into the distance. Previously, he had held a bit of admiration for Ma Xiaoyi, but after Elder Yue's explanation, he didn't seem to hold this young man in high regard anymore.

According to the rules of the life and death arena, if one was still unable to reach the person who would accept the challenge before nightfall, then one would voluntarily give up. In other words, one would lose, regardless of what conflicts the two sides had previously had, the victor was the ruler of all.

"That's embarrassing. I've made everyone wait for a long time. I accidentally overslept."

Just as Ma Xiaoyi was becoming more and more arrogant as she scolded Tang Yi to raise her status and position, a lazy voice exploded out like thunder. The sound of it was not inferior to the sound of his late stage Holy Heart Stage cultivation, and everyone within a certain range could hear it clearly.

Tang Yi yawned and slowly walked over from the crowd that made way for him. He happened to see Lee Yingying looking at him with a hidden bitterness in her eyes. He winked at her and looked at Ma Xiaoyi who was on the stage.

"Unfortunately, if you practice this, you might not have any use for it."

Walking towards the life and death arena step by step, Tang Yi didn't forget to say something: "Originally, I didn't want to come. After all, I beat you twice before, and the result of the third fight is still the same, there's no challenge at all. But I heard that this is the life and death arena, so I came here."

Tang Yi, who was already standing on the life and death arena, looked at Ma Xiaoyi with a provocative gaze, not letting down his anger. "Because if I just kill you like this, I'll be at peace in the future. Fighting with trash like you really doesn't have any sense of accomplishment."

Originally, Tang Yi was being scolded for not daring to come and those who were afraid of death all became silent. Tang Yi's words passed through the special structure of the Life and Death Stage and reached everyone's ears. Everyone looked at Ma Xiaoyi with a strange expression.

In the knowledge of warriors, this was always the case. Thinking about it, it seemed like everyone could understand why Tang Yi had arrived so late. It seemed like he was not interested in participating in this meaningless battle!

"So Ma Xiaoyi was defeated by Tang Yi, my 100 gold coins!"

"That's right, he spoke so loudly just now. Now that Tang Yi has appeared, there's nothing left to say. I'm going to lose 50 gold coins too."

"The one I bought was also Ma Xiaoyi. Thinking about his late stage Holy Heart Stage strength, how he could easily beat Tang Yi, who is at the middle stage of the Holy Heart Stage. It seems now to be impossible."

"It looks like the rumors about Tang Yi defeating Haoyue and Xian Qin are true. Can he really fight on a higher level?"

Tang Yi's words turned everyone's thoughts upside down with the silence of Ma Xiaoyi. All the words that were unfavorable to Tang Yi just now became words to attack Ma Xiaoyi, making the latter's face turn ugly and her fists clack noisily. However, she was curious, wasn't he dead?

"Bastard, what is going on?" Nie Tianyun, who was watching on the side, suddenly stood up. With an angry expression on his face, he waved his hand: "Call Wu Tie over. What's going on?"
