Liu Xiaoyuan turned his gaze to the man upstairs. The man was probably in his thirties, with a mustache that made him look somewhat comical, but his sinister eyes made him seem like a very cunning person.
"You must be Liu Xiaoyuan?" The middle-aged man looked at Liu Xiaoyuan, his sinister eyes half-closed, his hands resting on the railing.
Faced with the other party's obvious question, Liu Xiaoyuan chuckled and said, "Friend, you're asking a question you already know the answer to. If I weren't Liu Xiaoyuan, would I be here?"
The other person laughed and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am from the Long family of Miao village. My name is Long Batian."
Good heavens, you Miao and Long families really know how to name yourselves. The young master of the Long family who was injured last time was named Long Aotian, and you are named Long Batian. Damn it, I really don't know what God did to offend your Long family. One is Aotian, and the other is Batian.
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask, "Does your Long family also have someone named Long Caotian?"
Upon hearing this, Long Batian was taken aback and asked, "How did you know? Do you know our Long family's Grand Elder?"
Wow! There really is a Long Caotian, and he's even the eldest elder of the Long family. It seems the Long family is quite peculiar when it comes to naming their children.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I wouldn't dare to get to know someone with such an imposing name." As he spoke, Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head.
"Since you don't know the eldest elder of my Long family, why do you know his name?" Long Batian asked Liu Xiaoyuan coldly.
Liu Xiaoyuan spread his hands and said, "There's nothing I can do, I'm just too smart, I guessed it!"
Long Batian clearly didn't believe Liu Xiaoyuan's words, and sneered, "It's okay if you don't say it, I think you'll say it later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Batian leaped down from the second floor and landed steadily in the hall.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, we are both smart people, so I won't waste any more words. Are you going to obediently let me cripple your hands and feet, or do you need me to subdue you?" Long Batian said arrogantly, as if he had already figured Liu Xiaoyuan out of his grasp.
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "I'm not choosing either path. I think tonight I should be the one to cripple your hands and feet."
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Long Batian laughed and said, "Boy, don't you know that the Long family of Miao Village is skilled in using poison? Try circulating your qi in your dantian now, do you feel a sudden stinging pain in your dantian?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately circulated his qi, and just as Long Batian had said, he felt a sharp pain in his dantian, a pain as excruciating as if it were piercing his heart.
Seeing the pained look on Liu Xiaoyuan's face, Long Batian laughed and said, "Kid, actually, the moment you stepped into this villa, you were already poisoned by our Miao family's Ten Fragrant Softening Powder."
Despite all precautions, I still fell victim to Long Batian's poison. Indeed, those who use poison are unpredictable and the most difficult to guard against.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan was not worried about this at all. Although his body had been affected by the Ten Fragrant Softening Powder, the experts summoned by the system had no effect on him at all.
However, in order to make Long Batian careless, Liu Xiaoyuan deliberately pretended to be terrified and looked at Long Batian, cursing, "You are despicable and shameless!"
Long Batian laughed and said, "Warfare is based on deception. What does it matter if we are despicable and shameless as long as we can win? History is always written by the victors, while the dead will never speak!"
After saying that, Long Batian slowly walked towards Liu Xiaoyuan, ready to make a move on him.
"I've been waiting for you!" Liu Xiaoyuan sneered inwardly and immediately summoned a master at the second level of the Innate Realm through the God-level Invincible System.
However, before Liu Xiaoyuan could make a move, a figure flashed before his eyes. Liu Xiaoyuan knew without thinking who this figure was—it was Su Xue.
Su Xue was extremely fast. Liu Xiaoyuan only saw a blur before his eyes, and then he heard a scream. The scream was from Long Batian.
"You... how could you not have been hit by our Long family's Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder?" Long Batian lay on the ground, looking at Su Xue with disbelief.
Su Xue said coldly, "What can such a simple trick do to me?"
These words were extremely domineering; only an ice queen like Su Xue could utter such words.
Actually, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want Su Xue to make a move, because this time they were facing a master at the first level of the Innate Realm. If they defeated Long Batian, they would gain a lot of experience.
However, Su Xue beat her to it, and the experience was lost just like that.
However, Su Xue was only doing it for her own good, so Liu Xiaoyuan naturally wouldn't bite the hand that feeds him and not appreciate her kindness.
"Hand over the antidote!" Su Xue coldly asked Long Batian, extending her right hand.
Long Batian lay on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and laughed, "Trying to get the antidote from me? Dream on!"
After saying that, Long Batian suddenly raised his hand, and the room was instantly filled with flour, making it impossible to see anything.
"Damn it!" Liu Xiaoyuan cursed when he saw Long Batian resort to such despicable and underhanded tactics. However, such methods might work against a master of the Transformation Realm, but against a master like Liu Xiaoyuan at the Second Level of the Innate Realm, it would be absolutely suicidal.
Seeing Long Batian flee towards the door, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately chased after him. Before Long Batian could even open the door, Liu Xiaoyuan grabbed his shoulder, lifted him up, and threw him backward.
"Ah!" Long Batian screamed in agony. Liu Xiaoyuan's grab crushed his collarbone, and Long Batian fell heavily to the ground, rolling around and screaming like a pig being slaughtered.
Su Xue also rushed over, walked to Long Batian's side, and kicked him twice because Long Batian's kick had dirtied her hair, which made Su Xue very angry.
Women love beauty, and Su Xue was no exception. Her long, black hair was as important to her as her face. Now that it had been dirtied by this guy Long Batian, how could she not be angry?
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that he should never offend a woman, because when a woman gets angry, she is absolutely terrifying.
Long Batian's collarbone was crushed by Liu Xiaoyuan, so he was now useless.
Soon, the white powder in the room disappeared, and after Su Xue kicked Long Batian a few times, she seemed to have calmed down a lot.
"You weren't poisoned?" Su Xue asked in surprise when she saw that Liu Xiaoyuan was alright.
Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't actually unpoisoned; he only possessed this fighting power because of his god-level invincible system.
"Huh? How come your martial arts level has suddenly improved?" Su Xue was somewhat surprised to find that Liu Xiaoyuan's martial arts level had improved by another level.
Unable to find a good excuse to fool Su Xue, Liu Xiaoyuan could only point at Long Batian, who was screaming on the ground, and say, "Let's make him take out the antidote first. Su Yunhe and my elders both need the antidote."
