Qin Daoming also heard the whispers of the people around him, and he also thought that Lin Yun might be planning to do so.

However, as some people around me have said, is it too late to admit our mistakes now?

Qin Daoming sneered inwardly.

Despite thinking this way, he still didn't stop Lin Yun from speaking, because wouldn't it feel better to hear the other party apologize with his own ears before punishing them?

“My previous words were not meant to insult the Eight Extremes Sect, but to state a fact. If the Eight Extremes Sect tolerates your reckless behavior, I will destroy the Eight Extremes Sect. Now, I will ask you one more time: are you challenging me on behalf of the Eight Extremes Sect?”

Just then, Lin Yun spoke. He looked at Qin Daoming in front of him and said each word calmly but coldly.

"What?"

Qin Daoming stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

At that moment, he wondered if he had misheard.

The other party's words... were so arrogant...

Destroy the Bajiquan Sect? The other party actually said they would destroy the Bajiquan Sect? And even asked if I was challenging them on behalf of the Bajiquan Sect?

At this moment, Qin Daoming wanted to laugh, to burst into laughter, to laugh wildly. Who was this person who dared to say such arrogant words?

Even if the top levels of the official government wanted to wipe out the Eight Extremes Sect, they would have to think twice before doing so, given what the other side actually said...

He didn't believe Lin Yun's words at all.

Even if the top authorities wanted to destroy the Eight Extremes Sect, it would definitely be a secret operation. They wouldn't announce it in public like this, which would only put the Eight Extremes Sect on guard.

Once the Bajiquan sect becomes wary, even the authorities will be in big trouble. This is why he believes the authorities won't easily target the Bajiquan sect.

Therefore... he didn't believe Lin Yun's words were true; he thought the man was just exaggerating again.

"Holy crap! Has Lin Yi gone mad?"

"I think Lin Yi has no desire to live..."

"He can destroy the Eight Extremes Sect?"

"Too arrogant..."

"Is this some kind of 'what's the use' attitude...?"

Everyone around was stunned and couldn't believe it. They thought Lin Yi was apologizing, but they didn't expect him to say something even more arrogant.

"Hahahaha!" Qin Daoming burst into laughter, but one could hear the suppressed anger in his voice.

"It's over, it's over, Lin Yi is finished..."

"No one can save him now..."

"You reap what you sow, that's exactly what they mean..."

Seeing this, some people shook their heads.

Outside the crowd, Zhang Wentian also opened his mouth slightly, stunned for a long time.

This Lin Yi is so bold and arrogant, how can he speak up for him?

If just now, he could have stepped forward and said that the child was being silly and had said something wrong... but now...

Could it be, as some people around us have said, that Lin Yi knew he couldn't avoid the situation, and so he just gave up entirely?

At this moment, Zhang Wentian was utterly speechless.

However, considering his son's wishes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up.

Why? Because he only has one son, and he loves this son very much.

“Brother Daoming, this is just a child’s joke, don’t take it seriously. This is a life-or-death arena, and you are responsible for your own life and death. Brother Daoming’s rash intrusion has inevitably angered this little guy…” Zhang Wentian walked to the edge of the arena, smiled slightly, and said.

Who is this person?

"Judging from the badge on his chest, he's also a judge in the Rookie Tournament, and probably a martial arts master as well..."

"That's right, he is Grandmaster Zhang Wentian of the Zhang family in Suzhou. He became famous twenty or thirty years ago. His Zhang family boxing skills are superb, and he is invincible in the Suzhou martial arts world. He is a force to be reckoned with..."

When Zhang Wentian stepped forward to speak, some people around him began to murmur, and some recognized Zhang Wentian's identity.

"Little guy? This person has such a big mouth, always talking about destroying our Bajiquan Sect. I don't think he's a little guy..." Qin Daoming sneered.

“Brother Zhang, this matter has nothing to do with you. This junior dared to insult our Bajiquan Sect time and time again. It is unforgivable. You don’t need to say anything more, otherwise, don’t blame me for turning against you!” Qin Daoming continued, his tone cold and unquestionable.

"Brother Daoming..." Zhang Wentian opened his mouth, intending to say something more.

"Or perhaps, Brother Daoming is this little guy's elder, and it's not this little guy who wants to destroy our Bajiquan Sect, but Brother Daoming?" Qin Daoming turned his head, interrupting Zhang Wentian's words. He looked at Zhang Wentian, his expression revealing his impoliteness.

Seeing this, Zhang Wentian's face turned red, and he really couldn't continue speaking.

Although his strength and potential surpassed his opponent's, the opponent was a martial arts grandmaster of the Bajiquan sect, unlike his Zhang family, which only had two martial artists, and his son was just an ordinary martial artist. Since the other party did not give him face, he could not continue speaking.

"Since you keep referring to your Bajiquan sect, and no one else has any objections, just like Zhong Nan's situation just now, it seems that your actions can indeed represent the Bajiquan sect." At this moment, Lin Yun slightly raised his head, glanced around, and said calmly.

"Since that's the case, then make your move!" Lin Yun then gestured with his hand.

In the past two or three days, his strength has increased significantly. Before he came, he was already strong enough to fight against top experts at the peak of the Dark Force realm. Now, he also wants to try fighting against a martial arts grandmaster and see what the result will be.

As they spoke, Lin Yun did not speak to Zhang Wentian or look at him. He had already recognized Zhang Wentian as Zhang Haoran's father, but at this moment, it was not appropriate for him to speak to Zhang Wentian.

"Fine, you're arrogant as always. Let me test your mettle..." Qin Daoming said with a cold smile.

call--

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Daoming immediately flashed towards Lin Yun, his speed as fast as lightning.

He didn't want to drag this out any longer. Otherwise, it wasn't impossible for this matter to develop in a way that was unfavorable to their Bajiquan sect. After all, he had interfered in the life-or-death arena first, and now, it wouldn't be right for him, a martial arts grandmaster, to make a move against a mere kid at the peak of the Ming Jin realm.

This martial arts tournament wasn't organized by the Bajiquan sect alone. On the surface, the Bajiquan sect had good relations with other major martial arts sects and families, but if they could, some of them wouldn't mind watching the Bajiquan sect make a fool of itself.

He estimated that some of the strong members of their Bajiquan sect, such as Wei Donglai, a senior elder of their Bajiquan sect and also a senior elder of this martial arts tournament, might have noticed the commotion here, but were pretending not to hear or even covering for him.

He can't afford to waste time.

Seeing this, Zhang Wentian was conflicted; Qin Daoming had actually made a move.

A martial arts grandmaster actually made a move against a mere child at the peak of the Ming Jin realm...

It's entirely possible that Lin Yi could be severely injured, or even killed, in a single move.

Should he intervene or not?

To be honest, he was also very angry with Lin Yi.

He spoke up for Lin Yi here, but Lin Yi not only refused to cooperate, but also repeatedly provoked Qin Daoming, constantly saying arrogant things.

Just now, Lin Yi didn't even glance at him when he spoke.

Regardless, he was speaking up for Lin Yi.

This further convinced him that Lin Yi was clueless about social interactions.

"Good timing!" Just then, Lin Yi sneered and said.

call--

As he spoke, Lin Yun stomped his foot and rushed towards Qin Daoming.

At this moment, Lin Yun's speed increased significantly, no longer the slow and sluggish person he used to be.
