Li Huan used a clever trick to arouse Duan Zhengchun's paternal love.
This guy may be a womanizer, but he's not malicious.
He couldn't bear to watch his daughter have her tendons severed in public.
If that were the case, Ruan Xingzhu would definitely stop Li Huan, and might even kneel down and beg.
Li Huan said, "Prince Duan has come all the way from the Dali Kingdom in Yunnan, bringing plenty of gold and silver treasures?"
Duan Zhengchun said, "That's right. I've ordered my men to bring plenty of gold and silver jewelry, in preparation for accompanying my wife on a tour of Jiangnan after the martial arts tournament."
After saying this, Duan Zhengchun instructed his attendants to bring over a box of gold and silver jewelry and hand it over to Li Huan.
By this point, Li Huan had earned 400,000 taels of silver.
We are still 600,000 taels short of our goal of one million taels of silver.
Li Huan said, "Please, Prince Duan, bring me a thousand boxed meals!"
Duan Zhengchun smiled and said, "No rush, no rush, wait a moment before you enjoy your boxed lunch."
Li Huan lowered his head and looked at You Tanzhi.
"Are you prepared to commit suicide to atone for your sins, or will you use the 'Life and Death Talisman'?"
You Tanzhi trembled, his teeth chattered, and he could barely speak.
Li Huan said, "Look at you, you don't even have the strength to commit suicide. I'll help you get rid of the Ice Silkworm's poison!"
After saying that, Li Huan extended his right palm and pressed it against You Tanzhi's back.
Instantly, a surge of internal energy flowed into You Tanzhi's meridians, like a warm current, dispelling the extreme cold and yin poison of the Ice Silkworm!
You Tanzhi's expression softened somewhat.
Li Huan withdrew his hand: "You have regained your strength, you can commit suicide to atone for your sins."
You Tanzhi's expression was extremely complicated. He glanced at Li Huan, then looked at A Zi below the stage.
At this moment, Azi lay in Ruan Xingzhu's arms, her face ashen and completely listless.
You Tanzhi sighed and said to Li Huan, "I have a small request."
Li Huan asked, "What tricks are you trying to pull?"
You Tanzhi said, "I once swore an oath to fight Qiao Feng... to the death with Xiao Feng. I hope to fulfill this wish before I commit suicide..."
Li Huan laughed loudly: "Hahaha... Your martial arts are completely ruined, what makes you think you can fight Xiao Feng to the death?"
You Tanzhi said, "As long as I have a breath left and can stand up, I will fight Xiao Feng to the death!"
Li Huan understood that You Tanzhi intended to die at Xiao Feng's hands through a "decisive battle for revenge" so that he could face his father in the afterlife.
In other words, this kid doesn't have the courage to commit suicide right now.
Xiao Feng shook his head: "How could I possibly fight someone who has lost all his martial arts skills?"
You Tanzhi said, "Although I have lost my martial arts skills, I still have teeth. I can bite your flesh, gnaw on your bones, and suck your blood!"
Xiao Feng's thick eyebrows furrowed.
You Tanzhi said, "Xiao Feng, you killed your adoptive parents, your mentor, all the martial arts masters, my father and uncles. Today, you dare not kill someone who has no martial arts skills? Are you a coward? A weakling?"
Anger flared in Xiao Feng's eyes.
A'Zhu cried out, "Xiao Lang! Don't fall for You Tanzhi's provocation!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng regained some of his senses.
He said loudly, "You Tanzhi, no matter how much you curse me, I will not lay a hand on you. You should just kill yourself!"
Li Huan said, "You Tanzhi, if you don't dare to commit suicide, I will plant a life-and-death talisman on you, making you unable to live or die! At that time, you won't even have the chance to die!"
You Tanzhi was filled with grief and indignation, and tears streamed down his face.
Suddenly, a person flew over and landed on the high platform.
Duan Yanqing!
The leader of the "Four Evils".
Li Huan sized up Duan Yanqing's appearance and laughed, "You're utterly wicked, and you want to fight me?"
Duan Yanqing nodded, then suddenly swung his iron staff, striking You Tanzhi on the head.
Click!
Brain matter splattering...
Holy crap, Duan Yanqing actually killed You Tanzhi.
Li Huan was caught off guard and asked in shock, "Why...why did you kill You Tanzhi?"
Duan Yanqing sneered: "What use is there in keeping such a coward alive? If Chief Li refuses to kill him, I'm willing to do it for him!"
Unable to speak, he used his internal energy to communicate through ventriloquism, which sounded quite strange.
Li Huan said, "You're known for your heinous crimes, yet you're helping others do good deeds?"
Duan Yanqing raised his thick eyebrows: "If I kill someone, does that count as doing a good deed?"
Li Huan said, "When evil people kill evil people, it's the same as doing a good deed."
Duan Yanqing was stunned, realizing that Li Huan's words made sense.
Li Huan gestured, ordering his men to remove You Tanzhi's body.
Azi stared blankly at You Tanzhi's corpse, her eyes vacant...
Li Huan asked, "You're utterly wicked, do you have 100,000 taels of silver?"
Duan Yanqing replied, "Of course!"
Li Huan said, "You are the number one villain in the underworld, and your words have no credibility."
Duan Yanqing said, "The entire Dali Kingdom in Yunnan belongs to me! Once I reclaim the throne, I can afford to buy not just a thousand, but a hundred thousand boxed meals!"
Li Huan laughed: "You're really good at talking nonsense! You can't come up with any real money, so you're just making empty promises."
Duan Yanqing said unhappily, "I might not lose if I fight you!"
"Hahaha..." Li Huan laughed loudly, "As expected of someone who is utterly wicked and has a thick skin, who gave you the courage and confidence to think you can defeat me?"
Duan Yanqing said, "I will win as long as I exchange ten moves with you. Has Chief Li forgotten the rules he set?"
Li Huan said, "Of course I haven't forgotten! The problem is, with your martial arts skills, you can't last three moves against me!"
Thump! Duan Yanqing slammed his iron crutch against the table!
"Enough talk! Make your move!"
Li Huan said disdainfully, "You son of a bitch, you have no money, you're not qualified to fight me! Get lost!"
Duan Yanqing angrily said, "Chief Li, you won't make a move until you see the money?"
Li Huan said, "I'm a businessman! I'm here at the 'Martial Arts Tournament' selling boxed lunches. If I don't make money, am I supposed to just make a name for myself?"
Duan Yanqing said, "Chief Li, you've been traveling the martial world, you should know my background. I am a member of the Duan royal family of the Dali Kingdom in Yunnan..."
"You son of a bitch!" Li Huan interrupted Duan Yanqing impatiently, "If you can't afford a thousand boxed lunches, then get out of my way and don't interfere with a wealthy expert sparring with me!"
“You…” Duan Yanqing glared at Li Huan, his face flushed with anger.
Li Huan said, "Stop wasting your internal energy! You can't speak, yet you like to spout nonsense! You're just a born scoundrel!"
Duan Yanqing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He swallowed his anger and suddenly flew towards Ruan Xingzhu!
"Mother!" A'Zhu cried out in alarm.
Duan Yanqing moved with lightning speed and captured Ruan Xingzhu and Azi!
"Duan Zhengchun! Hand over the gold and jewels that rightfully belong to me! Otherwise, I will kill your lover and your illegitimate daughter!"
Duan Yanqing threatened viciously, his eyes flashing with malice!
Li Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw it.
Duan Yanqing was clever; he used Ruan Xingzhu and Azi as hostages to force Duan Zhengchun to provide gold and silver jewelry, thereby gaining the qualification to compete in the martial arts tournament.
Ruan Xingzhu panicked and hugged Azi tightly, casting a pleading look at Duan Zhengchun.
Duan Zhengchun hurriedly said, "Don't hurt Xingzhu and Azi!"
