Chapter 1495: Issuing a Challenge

Youming looked at Ye Yuan helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

In the city of Capone, who wouldn't wet their pants at the sight of him?

Yet today, he was completely outdone by a wet-behind-the-ears kid, not even qualified to lose his temper.

If it were someone else, he could use his formidable strength to oppress his opponent, or employ various means to threaten him.

But against Ye Yuan, none of this worked!

Threats?

They would only make things worse!

Youming sighed and said, "Name your terms, Master Yuanye. Anything within the capabilities of the Assassination Hall, I will not refuse."

Ye Yuan looked sharply at Youming and said, "Really?"

Youming smiled bitterly and said, "Do I have a choice?"

Ye Yuan also smiled. Talking to someone who understood was easy.

"I want you to help me deliver a letter of challenge!" Ye Yuan said.

Youming frowned and said, "You want to fight Kasin? You're no match for him!"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Whether I'm a match for him or not is my business. You just need to help me do two things."

Youming's expression turned serious. "What two things?"

Youming realized that Ye Yuan wasn't acting on a whim to take revenge on Kasin.

Ye Yuan's calm demeanor clearly showed he was confident.

He had even anticipated that Youming would come to apologize.

Ye Yuan had already thought everything through, just waiting for him to come.

This young man was truly terrifying!

This move of using borrowed strength to manipulate several halls of the Blood Nether Hall was simply beyond belief.

Of course, all of this was based on Ye Yuan's own formidable strength and potential; otherwise, those two hall masters weren't fools—how could they be toyed with by Ye Yuan?

He finally began to understand why those two halls regarded this young man so highly, even willing to fall out with him to protect the youth.

Ye Yuan took out a small packet of powder and said, "Have Kasin ingest this without anyone knowing. That shouldn't be difficult for your Assassination Hall, right?"

Youming's expression changed, and he immediately said, "No! Although Blood Nether Hall is not afraid of the City Lord's Mansion, poisoning the City Lord's heir is a grave matter. I cannot agree to this!"

Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Hall Master, there's no need to be so agitated. This powder won't kill him, nor will it affect his strength in the slightest. He won't even realize he's been poisoned. I'm just keeping a contingency plan."

Youming frowned and said, "How can I trust you? What if you're using me to kill him?"

Ye Yuan laughed. "I have another packet here. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself. But you should be mentally prepared—this stuff works on you too."

Youming was startled, a flicker of wariness in his eyes.

Something concocted by a two-star demon pharmacist could actually affect him?

This tiny packet of powder held such great power!

After all, pills refined by a two-star demon pharmacist had negligible effect on a demon general, let alone a demon general at the Great Perfection stage like Youming.

Youming knew that Ye Yuan was a very formidable demon pharmacist, and he wasn't saying this just to scare him.

He would have to be out of his mind to try this stuff.

Although he didn't know what this stuff did, it was definitely lethal for Kasin!

Seeing Youming's expression, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This packet is just to ensure that I can fight him on fair terms. Once he ingests it, no one will ever know that you were involved."

Youming frowned deeply, silent for a long while, then suddenly nodded and said, "Fine, I can agree to this! I believe you won't dig your own grave. What's the second condition?"

You Ming pondered for a moment. Ye Yuan's scheme of using a borrowed knife to kill, inciting the two major forces against each other, brought no benefit and instead placed himself in danger.

Ye Yuan was clearly a very intelligent person and would not do such a foolish thing.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Second condition: in ten months, you will personally deliver a challenge letter for me! One year from now, I will fight Kasshin to the death!"

You Ming said, "You underestimate Kasshin too much! His strength is nearly invincible among the Demon General realm. Among the many younger disciples of the Ka family, he stood out—not without reason! You couldn't even defeat Horn, so do you think you can surpass Kasshin within a year?"

Ye Yuan himself had just said that the packet of powder would not affect Kasshin's strength.

Then how could he possibly defeat Kasshin?

Although Horn was You Ming's proud subordinate with extraordinary strength, facing Kasshin head-on, he had no chance of winning.

Kasshin's strength made him the number one in the Demon General realm in Kapen Royal City!

No one disputed this point.

Ye Yuan smiled without speaking and did not answer You Ming's question.

You Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "Fine, I agree to these two conditions! But if the fire eventually burns the Blood Yama Hall, you know the consequences!"

With that, he took the packet of powder and left directly.

After You Ming left, Ye Yuan immediately went into seclusion.

One year was equivalent to ten years for Ye Yuan!

For others, ten years would not change much, but for Ye Yuan, it could.

After taking the Second-Turn Profound Gold Pill, Ye Yuan's physical body directly broke through to the mid Second-Turn stage.

Then Ye Yuan began frantically refining pills.

Ten months later in the outside world, Ye Yuan's divine sea trembled, and he finally broke through to the late Heaven-Gazing realm!

"Hmm... there's still a little over a year. After I consolidate my realm, I should enter the Death Training Space to train," Ye Yuan muttered to himself.

...

You Ming's arrival surprised Kasshin greatly.

"You're here on behalf of Yuan Ye to deliver a challenge letter?" A hint of disdainful smile flickered at the corner of Kasshin's mouth.

You Ming said indifferently, "Yes. He was afraid you would refuse his challenge, so he asked me to come."

You Ming also held no goodwill toward Kasshin.

This matter had nothing to do with the Assassination Hall originally, but because of Kasshin's bounty, the Assassination Hall was dragged into it, costing him a capable general.

This outcome infuriated You Ming.

So, in truth, he was displeased with both Ye Yuan and Kasshin. Whichever of them died would greatly improve his mood.

To him, this battle was no different from an outlet for his frustration.

Kasshin laughed loudly, "Refuse? Why would I refuse? Hahaha, a reckless fool delivering himself to death—this prince couldn't be happier. It seems his strength has improved over these ten months!"

Kasshin was not afraid of challenges; in fact, he had not received any for a long time.

His status as heir was not inherited but built on countless piles of blood!

The demon race did not forbid challenges, not even for the heir of the city lord's mansion!

To become the heir of the city lord's mansion, one had to accept challenges from all sides.

Kasshin was not a pampered playboy but a true strongman!

Of course, not everyone could challenge Kasshin; he had the right to refuse.

That was precisely why Ye Yuan asked You Ming to apply pressure.

Ye Yuan was making a statement: I know you hired someone to kill me, and our conflict is irreconcilable—only a battle can resolve it!

This was the simplest and most brutal way the demon race solved problems!
