Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1292: The Martial Champion Wants Me to Kill You

Su Yang couldn’t help but be taken aback, looking at the Black Widow with confusion, ”Chen Yuanchuan dares to trip you up?”

Su Yang found it very hard to believe what the Black Widow said. Although Chen Yuanchuan’s father was Patriarch Chen and Chen Yuanchuan held a high position within the Chen Family, with Chen Benhong even being the Chen Family’s next successor, the fact was that the status the Chen Family enjoyed today was almost entirely due to the Black Widow herself. When compared to the Black Widow, figures like Patriarch Chen, Chen Yuanchuan, and Chen Benhong simply didn’t amount to much.

Moreover, the Black Widow hailed from the Su Family of Yanbei, which was the Chen Family’s greatest support. It was likely that the people of the Chen Family would need to hold the Black Widow in high regard, so who would dare to sabotage her?

Regarding Su Yang’s doubt, the Black Widow showed no surprise. She casually picked up the bottle of red wine from the table, poured two glasses, and handed one to Su Yang.

”Care for a drink?”

Su Yang shook his head: ”I’ve just had some.”

The Black Widow chuckled without insisting further, slowly sipping her wine.

”Do you know why I asked you to come?” After a while, the Black Widow finally posed the question.

Su Yang shook his head again. He thought he knew clearly that the Black Widow wanted to deal with him. But now it seemed that the Black Widow didn’t harbor any hostility toward him.

”Whether it’s from the Chen Family’s or the Su Family of Yanbei’s perspective, I should kill you,” the Black Widow said unhurriedly.

Su Yang didn’t respond, waiting for the Black Widow to continue.

After drinking half the wine in her glass, the Black Widow lightly chuckled and said, ”But then, from my own perspective, I just don’t feel like killing you.”

”Why?” Su Yang asked, surprised, ”Just because I dealt with Chen Yuanchuan and his two generations of descendants?”

”Not exactly.” The Black Widow spoke softly, ”What you did was good, but it didn’t have much impact on me. They don’t dare do anything to me now, and I can’t be bothered with them. That’s all there is to it.”

”So why then?” Su Yang asked.

The Black Widow looked at Su Yang, then lightly laughed, ”Because the Martial Champion wants me to kill you!”

”What!?” Su Yang immediately furrowed his brow; this was completely beyond his expectation.

”You actually should have died much earlier in tonight’s battle,” the Black Widow continued softly.

Su Yang said nothing, silently looking at the Black Widow, waiting for her to go on.

”Zhao Dongming has enlisted a real expert. A true master. Even if Lü Donglin and Lü Wenbang joined forces, they would not be a match for this person,” the Black Widow said softly, ”This individual once endured thirty moves from Elder Ge without dying and even managed to escape. If he takes action, your death would be certain!”

Su Yang’s brow slightly furrowed. Elder Ge, could the Black Widow be referring to the Jade-Faced Judge?

”I have met Qi Zhishan,” said Su Yang, ”His strength is not that formidable.”

”The Qi Zhishan you met was only after he abandoned seventeen years of his arduous cultivation,” the Black Widow said. ”If you were to meet him now, you would understand the true weight of the name ’Nanku Chan’.”

Su Yang had no doubt about that. The fact that Qi Zhishan still possessed such strength despite discarding seventeen years of cultivation was already shocking enough. Just how powerful the Jade-Faced Judge was, really was hard to tell!

”However, that master died at the hands of Old Zhang Eight,” the Black Widow said softly. ”Moreover, Zhang Eight forged the wounds, pretending it was Black and White Impermanence who killed him.”

Su Yang’s expression changed drastically. With the Black Widow’s explanation, he was immediately able to understand the situation.

Upon further reflection, Su Yang suddenly realized that the Martial Champion had not been disinterested in his affairs. In fact, the Martial Champion had been silently paying attention to the whole situation all along, even giving it a push at times, all to highlight Su Yang.

Tonight’s battle had seen Zhao Dongming fully prepared, truly harboring hopes of killing Su Yang.

Yet, both Young Master Zhang Seven and Young Master Zhang Eight showed up, thwarting Zhao Dongming’s plan and, incidentally, took him away.

Had it not been for the Black Widow’s revelation, Su Yang would have truly believed that the Martial Champion did not intend to get involved in this matter. But now, he realized that the Martial Champion had been doing quite a lot behind the scenes.

Of course, Su Yang did not believe that Old Zhang Eight killed that master for his sake. He had no entanglement with the Martial Champion, and the Zhang Family’s prestigious position in the Capital City meant these individuals were surely not simple kind-hearted people. They would certainly not take any action that brought them no benefits.

Therefore, the only reason the Martial Champion and his people had done so much was because Su Yang was of use to them.

As for what that use was, the first thing Su Yang suspected was the Black Widow.

Su Yang didn’t know the exact relationship between the Black Widow and the Martial Champion’s people, but from how she referred to Old Zhang Eight and the fact that she had Fang Ping killed, only for Young Master Zhang Seven to then clear his name, Su Yang knew the Black Widow and the Martial Champion’s people must be at odds.

Therefore, considering all these factors, it was highly likely that the Martial Champion wanted the Black Widow to kill Su Yang. After all, Su Yang had managed to offend both the Su Family of Yanbei and the Chen Family, cultivating deep enmity with the Black Widow. There was bound to be conflict between her and Su Yang.

And the Martial Champion further fueled this situation, making it seem as if the Zhang Family valued Su Yang highly. This could lead to the Black Widow taking early action to kill Su Yang.

As for why the Martial Champion would do this, Su Yang had a vague feeling that it had to do with people like Ye Jiansheng and Lian Wanxiong.

After all, Ye Jiansheng, Lian Wanxiong, and Huo Yuanzhen had clearly expressed their support for Su Yang. In a way, Su Yang was also a spokesperson for these individuals.

If the Black Widow were to kill Su Yang, it would mean she was making enemies with people like Ye Jiansheng, Lian Wanxiong, and Huo Yuanzhen!

Realizing this, Su Yang suddenly understood the situation. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, ”What exactly is the grudge between you and the Martial Champion?”

The Black Widow couldn’t help but smile. Su Yang asking this already indicated that he had figured out all the issues involved. And this only increased her appreciation for Su Yang.

”No wonder you can run circles around all the major families in the Capital City...” the Black Widow chuckled. ”Su Yang, you’re really not simple. Since you’ve guessed the issues here, you should understand that if I don’t kill you tonight, the Martial Champion and the Zhang Family will probably not let you off in the future.”

Su Yang understood what the Black Widow meant. The Zhang Family had done so much just to have the Black Widow kill him. However, if the Black Widow didn’t kill Su Yang tonight, then the Zhang Family would assume that the Black Widow has surely sided with Su Yang.

Then the Zhang Family would regard Su Yang as a thorn in their side. If the Black Widow didn’t kill Su Yang, the Zhang Family would have to deal with Su Yang themselves!
