Chapter 37: Beat the Little One
In the hall on the first floor of Yurun Palace, Li Long looked at the spectators, not daring to offend the crowd, so he could only lower his head.
He glared at Li Wudao with sidelong eyes, putting all the hatred brought by the humiliation on Geren, wishing he could tear Li Wudao into pieces.
Li Wudao glanced at him casually, then turned his gaze to Qi Meng. There was no peace between him and Li Long. A fight would come eventually; it was only a matter of time.
The third round of the Oiran election is over, and only six beauties passed, which shows how difficult it is.
"For the fourth level, warriors are respected for their strength, so naturally they have to fight." The Palace Master Yurun said to the crowd with a smile, "Two people will fight each other, and the winner will be the champion!"
This is the world of warriors, where strength is respected. Even in a beauty pageant, strength is the key. It’s simple and brutal!
Sun Nuoer was smiling like a flower, Li Feng was full of confidence, Qi Meng was unwilling to show weakness, and the other three beauties had wry smiles on their faces.
They all have only the great success level of the Bitter Sea Realm, so how could they be a match for these three? They can only admit defeat and hand over the title of the most beautiful courtesan.
"Brothers, seeing beauties fighting is certainly a feast for the eyes, but just watching is a bit too boring!" The warrior who had been battling Li Long stood up and said to the crowd of onlookers, "My name is Gao Zhijin, and I love gambling. Today, I've set the odds: Sun Nuo'er pays 1 to 1, Li Feng pays 1.5 to 1, and Qi Meng pays 1 to 2. Anyone interested can try their luck!"
Gao Zhijin bowed to everyone, placed a piece of cloth in the corridor between the seats, and actually set up a gambling game in Yurun Palace!
"I'll give it a try, Sun Nuo'er, twenty taels."
"Bet on Li Feng, fifteen taels!"
"Li Feng, thirty taels."
As soon as this statement was made, someone responded immediately. Compared with the unknown Qi Meng, Sun Nuoer from the Yurun Palace and Li Feng, the eldest daughter of the Li family, became the favorites, and many people placed their bets on them.
"I bet my sister, eight hundred taels!" Li Long was very domineering. His move shocked everyone, and even Gao Zhijin was sweating.
Eight hundred taels is not a small amount. All the warriors present are extravagant spenders, and few of them can afford it easily.
Seeing that everyone was shocked by him, Li Long snorted complacently and glanced at Li Wudao with a squint.
Li Wudao looked at him with a sneer, showing disdain.
Li Wudao doesn't like gambling. Even if he is sure to win, he doesn't want to gamble because he doesn't find the fun in it.
"Li Wudao, why don't you come and give it a try? Aren't you scared?" Li Long ridiculed Ge Ren and said with disdain.
This made Li Wudao seriously doubt whether Gao Zhijin and Li Long were in the same group!
As expected, Li Long winked at Gao Zhijin, who immediately said, "Brother, why don't you make a move? You may not lose if you gamble!"
Seeing the two men colluding with each other and looking like they were sure to defeat him, Li Wudao raised his eyebrows and took out the proceeds from yesterday's medicine shop, a total of one thousand and two taels of silver, to teach them a lesson.
"One thousand taels, to bet on Qi Meng!" Li Wudao handed the banknote directly to Gao Zhijin and said word by word.
"Hehe!" Li Long sneered, and seeing that his goal was achieved, he said no more.
One thousand taels is not a small amount. In Li Long's opinion, he can earn one thousand taels and destroy Li Wudao's prestige. It is simply killing two birds with one stone!
Then the competition for the most beautiful girl began, with Li Feng facing Sun Nuoer in the first match.
The two beauties fought each other, displaying various martial arts. Although the fight was in full swing, it was as beautiful as a dance.
Finally, Li Feng suddenly exerted his strength and actually defeated Sun Nuoer who was playing at home!
"Sister, the oiran is indeed mine!" Li Feng's eyes were filled with confidence, and then he looked at Qi Meng, his beautiful eyes becoming cautious.
"Hmph!" Sun Nuo'er snorted coldly. She was furious that her title of "Oiran" had been taken away from her. She then turned and said to Qi Meng, "Sister, go ahead. I'll let you win so you have enough strength to deal with Li Feng!"
Since there are three people competing for the title of Oiran, the Oiran of course needs to win two games.
This Sun Nuo'er is not a pushover either. She actually wants to drive the wolf away and eat the tiger. Anyway, the courtesan has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't want Li Feng to get it for free.
"No need for that, you two come together!" Qi Meng had a smile on her lips, and the strength of her body drove her whole body to kill Li Feng and Sun Nuoer at the same time.
"What did my sister say?"
"How dare you be so presumptuous, bitch!"
Sun Nuo'er was a little surprised, while Li Feng cursed angrily and used the energy of heaven and earth from his dantian to kill him.
“Puff! Bang!”
The three of them separated as soon as they touched each other. Qi Meng stood there with a smile on her face, while Li Feng and Sun Nuoer fell to the ground holding their stomachs.
Qi Meng defeated the two of them with one move!
"That's really crazy... Damn, so powerful!"
"My money, ah! The Li family is such a rip-off!"
"Haha, I bet ten taels on Qi Meng, Pei Qian!"
Some people thought Qi Meng was too arrogant, but before she could even finish her words, Qi Meng actually won!
This wasn't a fight of the same level at all, with the outcome decided in a split second. Some were happy, others were sad. Those who had bet on Qi Meng were naturally overjoyed, while those who had bet on Sun Nuo'er and Li Feng had nowhere to cry.
"Give me the money." Li Wudao saw Qi Meng win and walked up to Gao Zhijin and said.
The odds of betting on Qi Meng are two to one, so Li Wudao should get two thousand taels!
"Li Wudao, your woman dares to hit my sister, I will kill you!" Li Long didn't want to give money at all, and actually took advantage of the situation to attack Li Wudao in Yurun Palace!
"Just you? You are not qualified!" But Li Wudao was not afraid of Li Long. Seeing him coming to kill him, he also killed Li Long.
"Bang!"
The two men separated as soon as they touched each other, and their fists collided with each other, making a loud noise.
The seats along the way exploded one after another and turned into broken wood under the impact of the two warriors.
"Hmph! I know you're physically strong, but how could I possibly be unprepared?" Li Long sneered, confidently taking out an object and saying, "I have the power of elixirs, and I'm determined to take you down today!"
Li Long held a jade bottle in his hand. As soon as he opened the stopper, the fragrance of medicine filled the air. It was obvious that it was a rare item.
Pills are made by refining medicinal materials with fire. They are more powerful than medicinal soups and ointments, and can only be refined by masters of the True Qi realm.
The Li family controls the auction house and is wealthy enough to give Li Long such a powerful trump card.
After Li Long took the pill, his body expanded by three points at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was nearly eight feet tall, like a giant.
"Muscle-building pill? Kill!" Li Wudao identified the pill as soon as he smelled the medicinal fragrance. Instead of retreating, he moved forward and killed Li Long directly.
So what if he has the help of elixir? Li Wudao will break it with force!
"Star-breaking Fist!" Li Long used a mid-level martial arts move, which immediately caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.
The Star-Breaking Fist originated from the Star-Moon Sect and is one of the sect's signature martial arts. It is extremely powerful and its punch is brutal.
I didn't expect that Li Long could perform it, and it seemed that he had practiced it for a long time and had achieved some level of proficiency.
"Star Shattering Fist? Sky Dragon Fist, retreat!" Showing off martial arts in front of Li Wudao was simply ridiculous! He immediately unleashed a mid-grade martial art, a powerful punch that opened and closed.
The two pairs of iron fists continued to collide, and in an instant the two men exchanged blows dozens of times, punching each other hard and sending sparks flying!
The spectators quickly stepped away and watched the two men fighting on the field.
"Brother, beat him up for me!" With blood on the corner of her mouth, Li Feng cheered for Li Long on the stage, asking him to help her vent her anger.
"Kill! Namu kick!" Li Long's power was indeed more ferocious. He used his family's leg skills, and the shadows of leg whips in the sky attacked Geren's lower body directly.
The Namu Leg is extremely powerful. It was with this move that the Li family gained a foothold in Yilong Town and made a great reputation.
Li Wudao looked at the kicks coming towards him, but he didn't dare to take them head-on. He moved like a dragon, dodging his opponent's fierce attacks.
"Li Wudao, stop playing and go home for dinner early!" Qi Meng knew Li Wudao's strength very well and said directly.
"Ridiculous!" Li Long had the upper hand, making Li Wudao exhausted from dealing with it. When he heard Qi Meng's words, he sneered in disdain.
He paid the price of the elixir just to kill Li Wudao here!
"Okay." Li Wudao promised Qi Meng's words, causing everyone to laugh.
He was clearly at a disadvantage, yet he spoke so seriously, as if he was sure of winning!
Facing Li Long's leg whip, Li Wudao suddenly retracted his fist, and when everyone was surprised, he grabbed it with one hand.
This move did not involve any martial arts techniques at all; it was so simple and unpretentious, relying solely on the essence of heaven and earth and the strength of the physical body.
“Roar~”
"Hiss~"
The sounds of dragons and tigers roaring rose from his dantian. Li Wudao grabbed the leg whip kicked by Li Long with one hand and squeezed it hard.
“Crack!”
Everyone present could hear the sound of bones breaking. Li Wudao's simple and unpretentious hand actually crushed Li Long's leg bones!
"You...damn it, let go!" Li Long roared. The thigh of his right foot that was caught by Li Wudao was cramping. He wanted to retract his right foot but couldn't.
Li Wudao sneered, took a step forward, raised his left hand, and Li Long flew up. He casually grabbed Li Long's flapping left foot with his right hand and tore it apart with both arms.
“Crack!”
Li Long was struck down by Ge Renli!
Li Wudao threw the body of Li Long, who had wanted to kill him, to the ground like a dead dog.
"Give me the money." Li Wudao took a piece of cloth from the intact tea table not far away, wiped the blood off his face, and said to Gao Zhijin.
"Give... give." Gao Zhijin looked at Li Wudao trembling. He didn't expect that such a powerful eldest son of the Li family would die in the hands of Li Wudao.
The audience was in an uproar. They didn't expect Li Wudao to be so strong. Even martial arts were useless in killing Li Long. In the end, he made Li Long bleed for five steps with just his cultivation and physical body!
"Brother! You deserve to die. You dare to kill my brother. You are finished!" Li Feng had a crazy look on his face. He rushed down from the stage like a madman and accused Li Wudao.
The Li family has only one descendant, Li Long. If Li Wudao kills him, it will inevitably cause crazy revenge from the Li family!
