"This kid is simply too arrogant!"

"And he even dares to teach Lin Langtian a lesson? Haha, now I really doubt this kid's sanity."

Li Xiaoyao's words provoked laughter among the crowd, as no one believed that Li Xiaoyao truly had the strength. They all thought that Li Xiaoyao was just boasting, and that he was out of his mind.

After all, which sane person would actively accept the challenge of a martial artist from the Condensation Realm?

Li Xiaoyao walked onto the stage and stood firm, asking, "What will you wager?"

Lin Langtian gripped the long spear and said, "This Kro Precision Spear is a seventh-rank weapon. If you have the life, come and take it."

Li Xiaoyao didn't even glance at it, but instead fixed his gaze on the storage ring on Lin Langtian's right index finger, saying, "Make your storage ring the wager."

"You want this?" Lin Langtian raised his right hand, sneered, and said, "I'm afraid you won't have the life to take it!"

"Young Master Lin, please wait!" Suddenly someone shouted from below the stage, and the crowd looked over to see that it was Wu Hao.

Lin Langtian frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

In his heart, Lin Langtian felt uncertain, for although he had reached the first layer of the Condensation Realm, he still felt a kind of heart-pounding fear when facing Wu Hao.

He knew that Wu Hao's strength was definitely stronger than his own.

Wu Hao smiled slightly and said, "This Li Xiaoyao has killed people from my Wu Family. I came to Ling City by the orders of the Family Head, to bring him back. Therefore, I hope Young Master Lin can spare his life and leave him alive."

"Spare his life?" Lin Langtian felt somewhat displeased in his heart.

"As a token of gratitude, I will present Young Master Lin with a seventh-rank martial art technique. What does Young Master Lin think of this offer?"

"Since Young Master Wu has spoken, we'll spare his life then," said Lin Changfu, nodding to Lin Langtian, meaning to give face to Wu Hao.

With Lin Changfu's statement, Lin Langtian dared not disobey him and promptly nodded, saying, "I shall spare his life."

Li Xiaoyao, however, looked at Lin Langtian with a cold gaze, "So, you wished to kill me? Since that's the case, I shall not leave you alive either."

"Hmph, how arrogant!" Lin Langtian snorted angrily, his feet moving in an elegant step, turning into a streak of light and charging at Li Xiaoyao in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Langtian had already closed the distance, his right fist outstretched straight like a shooting star, aiming straight for Li Xiaoyao's face.

Li Xiaoyao slightly raised his eyes, his expression unchanging. To the onlookers, however, his demeanor seemed like a pretense of profundity.

"He's looking for death, not even dodging. Does he really think he's some sort of expert?"

"I don't think he doesn't want to dodge, he simply can't dodge."

"A Qi-Training Mirror kid stepping onto the stage is just seeking death."

Just at this moment, the scenario on the stage suddenly changed.

The punch Lin Langtian had thrown stopped just a few centimeters from Li Xiaoyao's face, and wrapped around his fist was a hand.

That hand belonged to Li Xiaoyao.

Nobody saw how Li Xiaoyao had made his move. In the fleeting moment of lightning and flint, Li Xiaoyao had subdued Lin Langtian, gripping his fist.

"How is this possible!"

The crowd was greatly shocked.

Lin Langtian too, his complexion dramatically changed, unbelieving.

The members of the Lin Family all had drastic changes in their expressions, even Lin Changfu's pupils sharply contracted.

"Such quick speed."

Lin Langtian tried to break free from Li Xiaoyao, but to his horror, he discovered that he couldn't muster a shred of strength throughout his body.

Li Xiaoyao's faint smile magnified several times in his pupils.

"I said, you're not worthy to be my opponent," he said.

Li Xiaoyao's hand tightened slightly, and with a few "crack" sounds, Lin Langtian let out a scream as his right arm bent at an extremely strange angle.

Li Xiaoyao's arm moved upward, directly grabbing Lin Langtian's neck and lifting him up.

"Let... me go." Lin Langtian struggled to spit out these words, his voice filled with fear.

He had never imagined that Li Xiaoyao's strength would be so terrifying. In his hands, he couldn't even withstand a single move.

Li Xiaoyao's eyes were filled with a murderous intent as he said, "You want to kill me, yet now you ask me to let you go? Haha, I'm not a man of many virtues, but I've never spared those who sought my life."

Below the stage, there was dead silence.

Li Xiaoyao's sudden display of power left everyone momentarily stunned.

This Li Xiaoyao, clearly at the Qi-Training Mirror level, how did he suddenly become a master of the Condensation Realm?

Just as Li Xiaoyao was about to break Lin Langtian's neck, Lin Changfu, seated in the first row, abruptly stood up and shouted, "Stop!"

Li Xiaoyao turned his head and sneered, "In a martial contest, life and death are not restricted. Even if I kill him, what can you do?"

Lin Changfu's brows furrowed with anger as he said, "If you dare kill him, you will be making an enemy of the Lin Family!"

"The Lin Family?" Li Xiaoyao scoffed with disdain, "In my eyes, what does your Lin Family count for?"

"Arrogant and conceited!" Lin Changfu shouted, "You, a mere Loose Cultivator, even if you've reached the Condensation Realm, so what? My Lin Family has masters of the Abstinence Realm. Killing you would be as easy as flipping my hand!"

"Li Xiaoyao, you can't kill him!" Lin Shiyun, standing beside them, still had undissipated shock in her eyes.

"There's no one I, Li Xiaoyao, can't kill," he said, exuding dominance.

Lin Shiyun said anxiously, "He is Yuanyuan's cousin. If you kill him, Yuanyuan will certainly be punished by the family, and her father will also face severe punishment from the family. Do you really want to see that happen?"

Li Xiaoyao's brows furrowed slightly, Lin Shiyun was very persuasive.

She knew that Lin Changfu's verbal threats may not convince Li Xiaoyao to spare Lin Langtian, but pleading on behalf of Lin Yuanyuan might save a life.

Li Xiaoyao pondered for a few seconds and then said, "A death penalty can be pardoned, but a living crime is hard to forgive."

Li Xiaoyao reached out and removed the Storage Ring from his hand, then pressed several points on his body. Lin Langtian's face turned deathly pale, and blood kept spewing from his mouth.

With one final press at his Dantian, a muffled sound came from within Lin Langtian's body, and he immediately went limp, falling to the ground powerless.

"You insulted me, so I shall cripple your cultivation," Li Xiaoyao said as he kicked the now incapacitated Lin Langtian, sending him flying to land at Lin Changfu's feet.

Lin Changfu, with his heart nearly exploding with rage, unleashed a terrifying aura and shouted, "Li Xiaoyao, today I shall take your life!"

Cheng Dongliang, who had been sitting until now, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Lin Changfu, this is the martial arts tournament. Li Xiaoyao hasn't taken his life, showing mercy. Do you intend to disregard the rules of the Ghost Market?"

"Hmph!" Lin Changfu glared at Cheng Dongliang, "Don't use rules to pressure me."

Zhang Sanqian, who had not spoken until now, also said, "In the martial arts tournament, fate is determined by the heavens. Lin Daoist, please sit down. Any grievances can be settled outside the Ghost Market later."

Lin Changfu swept his sleeve and stared coldly at Li Xiaoyao, "I will let you live a few more days."

What seemed to escalate to a full-scale battle was eventually suppressed by Zhang Sanqian.

Li Xiaoyao stood on the stage, fiddling with the Storage Ring he had taken from Lin Langtian's hand, carelessly tossing it into his Storage Space. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

Seeing this scene, the Lin Family members felt another wave of rage.

"Keep being arrogant for a few more days, once we leave the Ghost Market, I will tear you into thousands of pieces."
