Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431: Yu Yu is picking fights... again

The hot sun bore down mercilessly upon the arena, the air thick with anticipation as the crowd buzzed like a hive of eager bees. Xiang Yu stood at the centre, his calm demeanour contrasting starkly with the chaotic energy surrounding him.

There was no need to ask why he was here today. The legend of the fighting beauty had spread across the wastelands and this man had come to challenge him. Out of pure boredom, he decided to indulge him.

Valtor loomed before Xiang Yu, a towering embodiment of brute force. He seemed to stretch toward the sky, muscles rippling under a pallid skin that looked as if it had been dusted with the ashes of fallen warriors.

His teeth were a disturbing shade of green, a grotesque testament to his savage lifestyle, and his ragged clothing bore a certain dignity uncommon among the wasteland’s people.

As he gripped the war hammer, its scarred head a monument to his experience in the arena, the air grew thick with tension. A deep, menacing growl trembled in Valtor’s chest, vibrating through the ground. "Alright, let’s get this over and done with. I have things to do," said Xiang Yu his voice calm.

"You won’t be so smug soon pretty boy. I will pummel your pretty little face," he replied his voice like gravel crunching underfoot, exuding impatience as he glared down at Xiang Yu.

Yet Xiang Yu remained unfazed. His face was serene, eyes cool pools of confidence. He didn’t flinch under Valtor’s imposing presence, standing as still as a rock while the towering brute prepared for combat.

The crowd’s energy surged, a wave of excitement from the onlookers who had gathered to witness the spectacle of beauty meet brutality. They had come to see if the pretty boy would emerge unscathed, their anticipation thrilling in the air.

In the midst of this chaos stood Lian and Mei, already deep into their betting schemes, their laughter echoing across the arena. "I bet you ten coins he will knock Valtor’s teeth out!" Lian proclaimed, a gleam of mischief in her eye. Mei raised an eyebrow, countering with a swift bet in favour of her master chopping off his arm.

The steward appeared frazzled with his greying hair a mess. He was clutching his chest as if he might fall apart at any moment. The sight of Xiang Yu preparing to face Valtor, a man nearly twice his size, filled him with dread.

"Can’t you tell him to stop?" he pleaded with Lian and Mei, desperation leaking into his voice. "He only listens to the two of you!"

Lian’s laughter rang out, light and airy, as she shook her head. "You worry too much, old man. He loves a good challenge!"
