Li Dazhuang laughed heartily, unable to conceal the arrogance on his face.
He patted Scarface’s shoulder mockingly and said, "Today, I’m going to be arrogant, what can you do to me? To tell you the truth, I came here today to take over the territory and dominate the entire Hai City. But before that, you must pay the price!"
"I’ve waited too long for this day. Today, I must cripple your legs!"
Last time, Li Dazhuang suffered a setback at the hands of Scarface and had an arm ruined by Ye Ming. Although he had fully recovered, the affected area still throbbed with pain.
Any slight mishap, and his arm could suddenly dislocate, even when simply lifting a cup to drink water. As a martial artist, Li Dazhuang was effectively crippled.
Therefore, Li Dazhuang came here today not just to compete for the territory but also to settle a score.
During the conversation, all of Scarface’s men stood up, surrounding their boss, ready to fight at any moment.
Without needing a word from Li Dazhuang, Lin Zhongyuan began to take action. freeweɓnovel.cøm
He approached Scarface and casually sent two of his men flying with a swipe of his hand.
Scarface felt his legs go weak, profoundly experiencing the taste of fear. The disparity in strength was so great that he had no capacity to resist.
He could only pray that Ye Ming would appear soon and save him.
As Scarface was about to be done for, Qin Tianyu sitting next to Ye Ming couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Ye, aren’t you going to step in?"
Ye Ming shook his head and said, "No need for me to take action, someone will naturally save him. Let’s just watch for now."
Qin Tianyu looked around but couldn’t spot anyone who might intercede.
Recently Scarface had been quite arrogant in Hai City, making many enemies. There were plenty who wanted to harm him, but apart from Ye Ming, Qin Tianyu could not think of another potential savior.
Just as Lin Zhongyuan’s hand was about to touch Scarface, suddenly, an old, weathered palm appeared, resting on Lin Zhongyuan’s wrist.
"If you want to duel with him, you can invite him to the arena. To hurt someone at will just because you’re a Grandmaster is somewhat lacking in grace," the speaker was another Grandmaster at the scene, Li Yaozong.
He watched Lin Zhongyuan with cold eyes, the aura of a strong man emanating from him.
To injure someone under the Xu Family’s very nose was a bit too bold, almost as if Xu Xincheng was not being taken seriously.
Therefore, although Li Yaozong greatly disliked Scarface, he still had to step in to help at this moment.
Lin Zhongyuan chuckled and challenged, "Old geezer, I’ve been waiting for you to make a move. I want to spar with you, do you dare accept?"
Li Yaozong looked at him disdainfully, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Ignorant junior, you are the first and will be the last to speak to me like that!"
...
In a matter of moments, two Grandmaster-level figures took to the stage. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
The audience below held their breath, not even daring to breathe too loud.
The oppressive feeling radiating from the two Grandmasters spread throughout the venue, nearly suffocating everyone.
With a look of indifference, Lin Zhongyuan scrutinized Li Yaozong and, with a contemptuous smile on his face, said, "Old man, you are no match for me. If you don’t want to die on this stage, you still have the opportunity to beg for mercy now."
"I, Lin Zhongyuan, came here only to make a name for myself, not to kill."
"But if you don’t heed my warning, I can make you leave this world earlier."
Li Yaozong let out a chuckle, his hands clasped behind his back, he spoke in a steady voice, "I’ve lived for decades, not one to be easily frightened. If I don’t show you some colors, you’d think too highly of yourself."
"If you want to fight, then let’s fight. I have no liking for idle chatter!"
Having said that, Li Yaozong kicked off the ground and took the initiative to strike first.
Under Lin Zhongyuan’s provocation, Li Yaozong could no longer hold back and felt the need to give Lin Zhongyuan a lesson.
Lin Zhongyuan shook his head in disdain and said, "Too slow, old man!"
With a loud bang, the moment their palms met, a massive wave of energy burst forth, as if two mountains had collided.
When Grandmaster Realm experts exchanged blows and competed in internal power right from the start, it was somewhat unexpected.
Ye Ming, sitting below the stage, shook his head and commented, "Things are looking grim for Li Yaozong!"
Qin Tianyu, unable to believe what he saw, said, "How could someone from the Xu Family be defeated by this unknown figure?"
"I’ve heard some about Li Yaozong. Years ago, he single-handedly vanquished all challengers in Hai City, helping the Xu Family establish their reputation. His strength is not to be underestimated."
Ye Ming just smiled and remained silent.
But in the blink of an eye, Li Yaozong on the stage was already drenched in sweat, his internal power depleting too quickly and showing signs of being unable to continue.
Having no other choice, Li Yaozong forcefully interrupted the contest of internal power and retreated a couple of steps.
After regulating his breathing, he directly launched an attack at Lin Zhongyuan.
The opponent’s attack was fierce, but Lin Zhongyuan just stood there without moving, even putting his hands behind his back, showing no intention of striking again.
The audience was baffled. Did he just admit defeat?
Li Yaozong was also puzzled, unsure of what Lin Zhongyuan was up to.
Just as he hesitated, a sudden, electric shock-like pain swept through his body.
Li Yaozong’s strike was about to reach Lin Zhongyuan, but just when he was less than a meter away from Lin Zhongyuan, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"What’s happening?"
Xu Xincheng was the first to rise, urgently inquiring, "Uncle Li, what’s wrong with you?"
The crowd watching the fight was also clueless about what had happened, merely gazing at each other in confusion.
Lin Zhongyuan exhaled a breath of stale air and spoke unhurriedly, "Although we are both Grandmasters, the gap between you and me is quite large!"
"How uninteresting. I had originally thought I’d find a worthy opponent today, but it turns out it’s just a useless piece of trash."
Li Yaozong’s face was filled with rage. He, who had been pampered for half his life, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
He was moved to kill, determined to thoroughly finish Lin Zhongyuan.
However, at that moment, he saw a black line appearing on his own arm.
The line spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, moving straight toward the area of his heart.
"This is..." Li Yaozong’s face turned to shock as he said, "If I’m not mistaken, this is the infamous Heartbreak Powder. Are you a person of the Poison Sect from Nanjiang?"
Lin Zhongyuan nodded, saying, "It seems this old man still has some insight. However, your time is short. Without the antidote within three days, the poison of Heartbreak Powder will reach your heart. Not only will you die, but it will also be an excruciating death!"
"Taking advantage of today’s occasion, I want to announce to everyone that from this day forward, the Poison Sect from Nanjiang reenters the martial world. Those who disagree, come and challenge me."
