Chapter 114: Evil brought on by himself is the hardest to bear
The Jin Long Wei army prohibited plotting and backstabbing, but they did not prohibit people from seeking revenge in a fair and square manner.
In fact, this was a world with weak laws. Seeking revenge was a universally accepted principle, and advocated as a custom of the martial arts way.
Even the constables and judges of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom would not interfere.
Besides, this vendetta was initiated by Lian Chengyu himself. As a warrior who had initiated the life and death battle, he had to be responsible for his own life!
So Zhang Tan just looked on, and did not interfere.
No matter how much the members of warrior preparation camp wished for Zhang Tan to end the contest, it was pointless.
But if the situation had been the reverse, where Lian Chengyu brutally beat up Yi Yun, Zhang Tan would have interfered. In the end, this was the difference in value of a person.
For Yi Yun to be able to induce Purple Air Comes From The East, he would likely become a human lord in the future; how could Lian Chengyu ever compare to that?
Lian Chengyu had done well in his evaluations, but it was only within the scope of the thousand mile radius of the Tao tribal clan.
The entire Cloud Wilderness had many tribal clans the size of the Tao tribal clan!
The Kingdom’s selection ran by Zhang Tan was just one of the many in the entire Cloud Wilderness.
As for a talent like Lian Chengyu, to the Jin Long Wei, it was not bad taking him in, but neither was it a loss to not take him in.
Zhang Tan had already noticed the animosity between Lian Chengyu and Yi Yun. There had to be an end between the two. Instead of letting them conspire against each other in the Jin Long Wei army, resulting in conflict, it was better to just let them fight it out during the selection.
It was obvious who to choose between the two. Taking in a talent was a great contribution to the Jin Long Wei, but on a personal note, nurturing an expert would bring benefits to Zhang Tan himself. In the future, Yi Yun could be considered a student of Zhang Tan; so if Yi Yun really flourished in the future, Zhang Tan would also share in glory.
So, earlier when Zhang Tan asked Yi Yun about his cultivation level, he had already predicted the outcome of this battle. Yi Yun meeting Lian Chengyu in his first round was also intentionally planned by Zhang Tan.
Lian Chengyu was destined to end in tragedy from the beginning.
But if Lian Chengyu had not dug his own grave by trying to use a loophole to kill Yi Yun, forcing Zhang Tan to make a stand, then Lian Chengyu probably would not have ended in such a pathetic state.
It could only be said that the evil that was brought on by himself is the hardest to bear!
…
“The ninth crime, you overdrafted on the Lian tribal clan’s resources, picking dry the herb mountain, slaughtered the cattle and the hunting dogs! To push your future, you burnt the bridges of the Lian tribal clan, making them the sacrifices on your altar! You owe this life to the people of the Lian tribal clan!”
…
“The tenth crime, our private revenge is irreconcilable! You wished to kill me, to make me lead a living death! Today at the Kingdom’s selection, you asked the examiner, hoping to eliminate me for your nefarious joy. If I were to set a tiger free, allowing you to recover and seek revenge against me, harming my loved ones? So today, I’ll get rid of the roots, eliminating any future trouble!”
After Yi Yun said that, he lifted a dying Lian Chengyu and crushed Lian Chengyu’s working hand, and with two punches shattered Lian Chengyu’s kneecaps. With the kneecaps shattered, he could no longer stand up.
Yi Yun grabbed Lian Chengyu and sent another punch.
“Peng!”
With a thud, the last punch landed on Lian Chengyu’s Dantian!
Lian Chengyu’s body suddenly began to tremble violently. He was suffering from body fractures and severed meridians, but the last hit was right on his Dantian. Lian Chengyu was now like a leaking basket and would be unable to store energy anymore.
Even if he induced Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to enter his body, this Yuan Qi would meander through his body and escape from all his openings, leaving nothing behind.
Without energy nourishing him, compounded with the severed meridians and destroyed bones, Lian Chengyu would have great trouble recovering. He would be crippled for life and would need to be bedridden for many years.
Lian Chengyu was totally crippled by Yi Yun!
The moment Yi Yun crippled Lian Chengyu, he felt extremely refreshed. The last blow made Yi Yun feel fulfilled and delighted.
The months of suppressed hatred, animosity and all the trials he had experienced had been released at that moment!
By feeling refreshed, the Purple Crystal’s energy directly reached Yi Yun’s head, nourishing and refreshing his soul!
“When the ancients practiced martial arts, they made sure to settle vengeances quickly. This was probably the reason as it calmed the heart an
