Chapter 991: The Match

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Since both parties agreed, Ye Leng’an and Ye Wanwan swiftly signed a life-and-death agreement before the spectators. This agreement meant they’d bear full responsibility for whatever ensued on stage.

As the two faced off, anticipation gripped the audience, with many sitting up in anticipation of the impending clash.

However, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu wore worried expressions. Ye Wanwan’s proposal of a life-and-death agreement struck fear into their hearts. It was the scenario they feared most—both daughters, one biological, one adopted, pitted against each other. Regardless of the outcome, it would pain them deeply.

Onstage, Ye Leng’an remained composed, seemingly unperturbed by the impending battle, almost as if she were enjoying the scenery.

In contrast, Ye Wanwan appeared determined, her gaze brimming with fighting spirit as she locked eyes with Ye Leng’an.

Ye Wanwan launched the first attack without hesitation, channeling her spiritual power towards Ye Leng’an. Her aggressive demeanor hinted at a fight not merely to prove dominance but to bring Ye Leng’an to her knees.

In truth, Ye Wanwan entertained thoughts of killing Ye Leng’an, fueled not just by familial rivalry but by deep-seated resentment for Ye Leng’an’s repeated humiliations. Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to commit murder, knowing it would fracture her relationship with her parents, who still cared for Ye Leng’an. Moreover, Ye Leng’an was Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée, and her death would provoke retaliation from the Huangfu family, a risk the Ye family couldn’t afford.

Thus, Ye Wanwan aimed to inflict severe injuries, ensuring Ye Leng’an’s prolonged suffering without crossing the line into murder.

Despite Ye Wanwan’s fierce assault, Ye Leng’an remained immovable, eliciting concern from the audience, especially Lian Mengzhu, who couldn’t help but cry out a warning.

Hearing Lian Mengzhu’s plea only fueled Ye Wanwan’s jealousy, intensifying her hatred towards Ye Leng’an and redirecting her attack towards Ye Leng’an’s dantian, intending not only to injure but to cripple Ye Leng’an’s cultivation, mirroring the harm Ye Leng’an had inflicted upon her.

Yet, just as Ye Wanwan’s strike neared its target, Ye Leng’an sprang into action, effortlessly evading her attack, seizing her wrist, and delivering a powerful blow to her abdomen.

Confusion swept over Ye Wanwan as she found herself thrown to the ground, writhing in agony and coughing up blood.

The spectators, equally stunned, struggled to comprehend what had happened. Ye Leng’an’s swift and decisive counterattack left them questioning her true strength, realizing they had underestimated her prowess.

Unable to gauge Ye Leng’an’s cultivation level, they faced an unsettling possibility: her power exceeded their comprehension.

This revelation unsettled the crowd, who now regarded Ye Leng’an with newfound respect and trepidation.

Their attention shifted to the Huangfu family, observing Huangfu Ruiling’s impassive demeanor and the excitement among the Huangfu family’s disciples.

Previously unaware of Ye Leng’an’s true abilities, they now recognized her as a formidable force, envisioning a prosperous future under her leadership alongside Huangfu Ruiling.

Their anticipation contrasted with the annoyance evident in the eyes of other spectators.
