Chapter 1283 1194: Are You Afraid?

Hearing Wang Yan's challenge to the Ninth Route General, Ji Congjing couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, her body suddenly terrified to move.

She had finally obtained the position of Governor, and the Ninth Route General had agreed to leave, but now, due to Wang Yan's words, everything became void again.

Challenging the position of Grand General has not been successfully accomplished by anyone for thousands of years.

Because the rules for challenging the position of Grand General are completely different from those for the Commandery Princess, presenting harsh demands for the challenger.

Now Wang Yan, unaware of life and death, is challenging the Ninth Route General, utterly akin to a lamb entering a tiger's den.

Ji Congjing hurriedly opened her mouth to send Wang Yan the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission, urgently and briefly explaining the challenge rules.

Even though Wang Yan raised an eyebrow, his expression didn't change at all.

As Ji Congjing transmitted to Wang Yan, the surrounding crowd sighed collectively, their sighs expressing regret for Wang Yan.

The Ninth Route General who was about to leave turned back, looking at Wang Yan with interest, mocking, "Do you know the rules to challenge the Grand General?"

"No," Wang Yan responded coldly.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd sighed in regret again, while Ji Congjing's face filled with sorrowful fear, thinking to herself that her earlier transmission had been in vain.

Yet the Ninth Route General became even more intrigued, saying, "To challenge the position of Grand General, one must undergo three trials: siege, array, and duel. Only by winning all three can one replace the Grand General. As for the siege..."

The Ninth Route General began to explain slowly.

However, before the Ninth Route General could finish, Wang Yan coldly interrupted, "Are you scared?"

The Ninth Route General hesitated, then angrily retorted, "Nonsense, as the Grand General, how could I be afraid."

"If you're not afraid, why explain so much? Just one word, accept or not?"

"You... fine, listen here. I'll tell you now. Just in a one-on-one duel, you have numerous restrictions. Those a level lower than the Grand General must let me strike first three times. Do you dare to accept?"

"You truly are scared?" Wang Yan did not answer the Ninth Route General, instead, he coldly countered.

The Ninth Route General was furious, saying, "What should I be afraid of? I'm just telling you the rules. If you want to challenge me, then let me strike first three times."

"If you're not scared, why so much nonsense; just strike." Wang Yan responded coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Route General's face turned beet red, gritting his teeth, he said, "Fine, you're seeking death yourself. I accept your challenge. Now I'll begin the attack, siege and array are canceled, let's duel first. Remember, within three strikes you cannot retaliate."

Then, Wang Yan coldly remarked, "So many unnecessary words."

Seeing Wang Yan losing interest even in conversation, the Ninth Route General couldn't hold back, shouting once and raising his hand, throwing a golden General's Seal onto a branch, then charging towards Wang Yan.

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

Know that the challenge for the position of Grand General is vastly different from that of a Governor.

It must go through siege, array, and duel, winning all three challenges to replace the current Grand General.

But now, seeing the Ninth Route General cancel the first two challenges and go straight to the duel, it shows how greatly enraged he was by Wang Yan.

To enrage the Grand General so much, there is only one result: being crushed to death by the Grand General.

Ji Congjing and Qin Shousheng's faces filled with despair, neither daring to look at Wang Yan, envisioning the scene of Wang Yan being killed.

Indeed, the first move, the Ninth Route General's fist harshly slammed towards Wang Yan.

This fist imbued with the powerful aura of the Demon Venerable, as it descended, the space before him seemed to collapse.

Needless to say, being hit by this punch, merely standing before it felt like being crushed by its force.

Again looking at Wang Yan, he stood calmly, indeed not retaliating.

The force of this fist could split the ground, "Boom!" hitting Wang Yan's body.

Seeing this, Ji Congjing couldn't help but cry out, "You can't retaliate, but you can defend!"

Apparently, moments ago, Wang Yan stood there, not defending at all, letting the Ninth Route General's punch fall on him directly.

As the punch landed, dust shot into the sky, quickly engulfing the whole area, leaving Wang Yan shrouded within.

After this punch, the Ninth Route General's body gracefully arced backward, elegantly landing on the ground.

Watching the overwhelming dust, the Ninth Route General chuckled lightly, saying, "Such garbage, not even understanding the challenge rules, yet daring to challenge me. Dying isn't unfair."

After speaking, the Ninth Route General turned to Ji Congjing, asking, "You aided the villain, how do you wish to die?"

Facing the Ninth Route General's icy gaze, Ji Congjing was frightened and hurriedly knelt before him, trembling all over, unable to utter a single word despite her usual eloquence.

The Ninth Route General slowly raised his palm, preparing to strike Ji Congjing.

Just as the Ninth Route General lifted his palm, he suddenly heard that cold voice again, "Our business isn't finished yet."

Hearing this, the Ninth Route General trembled, urgently turned his head.

Ji Congjing also showed surprise, turning to catch sight.

The surrounding crowd, showing disbelief, all turned towards the source of the voice.

As the dust settled, a figure appeared.

His face cold, dressed in a floor-length white robe, it was Wang Yan.

The Ninth Route General couldn't believe his eyes, blinking furiously, carefully observing.

Seeing Wang Yan standing there, not only not dead but without a single injury, even his white robe remained unwrinkled.

At this moment, Wang Yan wore a face of disdain, lightly brushing the dust off his body with his right hand.

The Ninth Route General was astonished, questioning if he himself hadn't delivered that punch, suspecting it never landed on Wang Yan.

"Why… why are you unharmed?"

The Ninth Route General's eyes widened, fearingly staring at Wang Yan, struggling to speak.

Now, Wang Yan coldly spoke, "Such nonsense, second move."
