After agreeing to Su Yang's deathmatch, Yun Xiao Hong followed him to the registration area. The sect elder in charge of overseeing such matters looked up and blinked in surprise, as it'd been hundreds of years since two Core Disciples wanted to fight each other to the death.
"I don't normally say this, but I think you should reconsider. You're both Core Disciples. It'd be a great loss to the sect to lose even one of you."
Su Yang then spoke, "I agree, and I gave him a chance to keep his life. However, he refused to even apologize, so here we are."
"Bastard, you're speaking as if my life is already in your hands!" Yun Xiao Hong gritted his teeth in frustration.
"Elder, it's not that I want to kill him either. However, he's simply too arrogant and doesn't know when to give up. With his character, he'll eventually offend someone he shouldn't and die a gruesome death. In that case, I might as well end his life right now and make it as painless as possible."
