Looking at this figure, Elder Chai's eyes twitched, his body trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Him, it's actually him..."

"The Terminator of the风云榜 (Feng Yun Bang)?"

Among the surrounding disciples, someone shouted out a name that many had heard but few had truly seen.

There were still disciples who hadn't heard of this title, and they asked those who knew the inside story with a puzzled look, "Who is this person? His title seems quite unique?"

"Unique? It's more than just unique! He should be called a freak to be more accurate!" The informed disciple glanced disdainfully at the person asking and explained, "This guy is Yu Yan's subordinate."

"Anyone on the Feng Yun Bang who offends Yu Yan, Yu Yan will send him to challenge these people. No one who has been challenged by him has ever won; they all ended up losing to him."

"Rumor has it that this person once defeated the ninth-ranked person on the Feng Yun Bang and even made it into the top ten, but after defeating that person, he withdrew from the list."

"Withdraw from the list?" Those who doubted Luo Yi's strength looked even more puzzled upon hearing this. Everyone wants to enter the top ten of the Feng Yun Bang; since he defeated the ninth, why would he choose to withdraw?

The informed person continued to explain, "The Feng Yun Bang has a rule that disciples ranked on the list cannot challenge those ranked below them. Only by withdrawing from the list can they challenge."

"He does this, most likely to better help Yu Yan, to knock those who offend Yu Yan off the list."

Someone nearby seemed to think of something and asked, "I remember that if you withdraw from the list, you have to pay extra soul stones to challenge the disciples on the Feng Yun Bang again..."

"He doesn't need to withdraw every time he challenges. Since he is helping Yu Yan deal with those who have offended him, he could easily reach around the 50th rank."

The 50th rank is the dividing line of the Feng Yun Bang. Disciples who can reach this rank are all somewhat arrogant, like the 50th-ranked disciple who said Zheng Shi Yi could not enter the Feng Yun Bang.

Most of those who offend Yu Yan are disciples ranked before the 50th. If Luo Yi reaches around the 50th rank without withdrawing from the Feng Yun Bang, he saves soul stones and helps Yu Yan.

Why does he withdraw every time?

"Unknown?"

Those who thought they knew more about this matter also shook their heads at this moment.

But no matter what, many people were certain that if he acts, Zheng Shi Yi will likely fall here this time.

Luo Yi's face was full of scars. At this moment, he walked out from behind Yu Yan. The sinister smile on his face made him look even more bloodthirsty. His eyes, which glowed with a fierce light, sized up Zheng Shi Yi: "Master, you haven't let me appear for a long time. Finally, you're letting me appear! I haven't eaten anyone for a long time, and my stomach is already starving."

Luo Yi forcefully spread his fingers, and a foul smell continuously emanated from his black, dirty nails. His mouth, which was wide open, revealed a set of white, stinking teeth.

The two teeth on either side of his front teeth were long and sharp.

His face was red and fat, and with his fierce expression, he looked more like a ghost from afar than a living person.

The timid were frightened by his appearance and retreated step by step.

Luo Yi licked his teeth, slowly turned his head, and said to Zheng Shi Yi, "The 10th on the Feng Yun Bang, right? I challenge you! Thank you for angering my master, allowing me to taste fresh human flesh again..."

Wu Dong pulled Zheng Shi Yi back two steps and whispered, "Brother, this guy is rumored to have once defeated the 9th on the Feng Yun Bang! His methods are very unique, and all his opponents have been eaten on the stage."

"We might as well not defend the stage! Let's just give it up..."

"Would giving it up help?" Zheng Shi Yi placed his hand on Wu Dong's hand and gently pushed him away, saying, "Yu Yan is still targeting me. If I don't go on the stage... I really don't want you guys to be implicated like Zheng Song last time..."

"But..."

"Relax, I have a plan..."

Zheng Shi Yi patted Wu Dong's shoulder, looked past Luo Yi, and fixed his gaze on Yu Yan, sighing again. To deal with a wild dog that bites indiscriminately, you have to break its legs and make it remember the pain! Only then can the matter be resolved smoothly.

"Idiot, dare to bet?"

Zheng Shi Yi's words instantly extinguished the good mood in Yu Yan's heart and were like a slap in the face, igniting his anger.

Idiot? Yu Yan's forehead veins bulged, and his sinister smile became even more ferocious. He thought Zheng Shi Yi would be intimidated by the news about Luo Yi, and if that were the case... he would only need to make him kneel for three days and three nights at the mountain gate to let him go! Now... he dares to call him an idiot? He's just waiting to be brutally killed!

"What? Afraid to bet?" Zheng Shi Yi pointed at Yu Yan's slightly trembling arms, "Scared to this extent? Your hands are shaking? It seems you're not so stupid that you can't be cured..."

"What qualifications do you have to bet with me?" Yu Yan's lips curled slightly, and he coldly shook his right index finger, "Besides, I never bet with the dead."

Yu Yan was very satisfied with his response. What are you, Zheng Shi Yi? What qualifications do you have to bet with me?

"Are you so poor that you don't have soul stones to bet with?" Zheng Shi Yi looked as if he had just realized something, then took out a look of pity mixed with mockery and shook his head, "Not only an idiot, but also a pitiful poor man..."

Idiot... poor man...

In the crowd, many people couldn't help but laugh. Regardless of Zheng Shi Yi's combat strength, at least his mouth... was really sharp, and his verbal attacks had thoroughly insulted Yu Yan.

Yu Yan could feel that many in the crowd were about to burst out laughing. If the battle didn't start soon, even if Luo Yi killed Zheng Shi Yi later, his own blemish would be a topic of ridicule for a long time.

"I have a thousand taels here..." Yu Yan took out a soul stone ticket and shook it, smiling, "Let's just play a bit..."

"A thousand taels?"

Many people began to draw in cold breaths. The people on the Feng Yun Bang really know how to play! Opening with a thousand taels...

A thousand taels of soul stones is an astronomical figure. Many people might not be able to gather that much in their entire lives, and Yu Yan, for a bet, actually took out a thousand taels of soul stones.

Moreover, from his tone, it seemed he didn't care much about the thousand taels, just using it to play.

"Poor man, here are five thousand taels." Zheng Shi Yi casually threw the soul stone ticket on the ground, "I let you, a poor man and an idiot, have an advantage. You can bet a thousand taels against my five thousand. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your poverty..."

Zheng Shi Yi's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to pierce through anyone's eardrums. Five thousand taels of soul stones, what does that mean?

If a thousand taels of soul stones require a lifetime of effort to gather, then five thousand taels is a number that can't be gathered in several lifetimes.

When Yu Yan saw the five thousand taels of soul stones, he wanted to give himself a fierce slap. How could he forget that this kid had just received five thousand taels of soul stones?

Soon, Yu Yan's face showed a smile, a mocking smile. He knew that Zheng Shi Yi was deliberately trying to provoke him into anger, wanting him to also put up five thousand taels of soul stones for the bet.

"Interesting..." Yu Yan clapped lightly and smiled, "I'm at least the 5th on the Feng Yun Bang. If I put up the same amount as you, wouldn't that make me look bad? I'll add another five thousand taels, making it a thousand more than you. Young man, remember, I am richer than you, the real poor man is you..."

"Alright, let's start then."

Zheng Shi Yi shrugged and turned to go up to the stage. This casual action made Yu Yan pause. He had been gathering information about Zheng Shi Yi for a while and knew he should still have soul stones. The reason he directly threw down five thousand was to lure him into revealing them.

Otherwise... where would he find Zheng Shi Yi's soul stone inheritance after killing him?

"You..." Yu Yan's face instantly turned dark. He also knew that one shouldn't reveal one's wealth. If Zheng Shi Yi hadn't put up so many soul stones, he wouldn't have taken out the remaining five thousand taels of soul stones.

Now, everyone would know how many soul stones he had.

Zheng Shi Yi glanced at him and shrugged easily, "I never said I would put up the same amount of soul stones as you. You did it on your own. I told you you were an idiot, but you didn't believe me."

Idiot, again an idiot! Yu Yan knew that even if he killed Zheng Shi Yi today, he wouldn't be able to shake off the label of being an idiot for a long time, and many people would call him that behind his back.

"Luoyi, don't let him die too easily," Yu Yan said with a sinister look, "Torture him until I'm satisfied."

Luo Yi placed his black, dirty hand on his chest, bent down slowly, and grinned, "Master, rest assured, I am most skilled at killing."

"I will eat him bit by bit, ahaha..."

Luo Yi's cold laughter frightened the surrounding crowd, who shrank back and retreated step by step.

Zheng Shi Yi and Yu Yan glared at each other, handed their soul stone tickets to Elder Chai, and led their respective people to the Feng Yun Bang stage.

The surrounding crowd naturally didn't want to miss this match and followed along, chatting and laughing.

"That Luo Yi is extremely cruel. The disciples who go up against him on the Feng Yun Bang are all eaten by him. Although Zheng Shi Yi has made it into the top ten of the Feng Yun Bang..."

"His rank is only 10th, while Luo Yi has reached 9th. The difference between 10th and 9th, though only one rank, is vast."

"How can Zheng Shi Yi be a match for Luo Yi? I wonder what kind of identity Luo Yi has, to be so obedient to Yu Yan."

Zheng Shi Yi listened to the crowd's discussion and shrugged. It seemed that before the match, he had never been favored. That's normal; the reputation of new disciples isn't big enough yet. He must win spectacularly to make anyone who wants to cause trouble think twice.

Luo Yi opened his hand, which emitted a foul smell, and held it up to his face. He licked his lips and looked at Zheng Shi Yi with a greedy expression, pretending to be hesitant, "Where should I start with you?"

"Ears? Thighs, or head? No, no, you're not as delicate as a girl, and eating you won't be as tender. I'm not really interested in you."

"But Master Yu Yan wants me to kill you. If I don't, I'll be letting down my mouth. Tsk tsk, you're going to be eaten by me anyway, so just stand there obediently. Maybe I'll be gentler when I eat you."

Luo Yi greedily looked at Zheng Shi Yi's legs, and the stinking saliva continuously dripped from his two long, sharp teeth onto the ground.
