"Boy, die!"
Hao Xiaoxing roared, drew his long sword, and stabbed directly at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang dodged quickly, retreating step by step.
However, Lu Yang did not immediately display his true strength. Instead, he deliberately feigned being affected by the poison, making his body feel weak and limp.
Seeing this, Hao Xiaoxing's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
"Boy, you don't know this, but you've been poisoned. You can't unleash your cultivation right now. Just die obediently!"
"When you reincarnate in your next life, be an ordinary person. This world isn't as simple as you think!"
Hao Xiaoxing sneered, his true qi erupting. He was indeed a minor master. With one sword strike, he cleaved through the sky, and the entire world changed color. Instantly, he transformed into a crimson beam of light, appearing as if from the heavens themselves, reaching peak sharpness, and shooting towards Lu Yang.
Seeing this, Ling Que Wang's heart tightened slightly. He didn't know if Lu Yang was injured, but seeing Lu Yang's current state, it truly seemed as if he were.
However, Ling Que Wang could only watch from afar and could not directly intervene. He would only act to save Lu Yang if his life were in danger, regardless of anyone's objections.
At this moment, the crimson beam directly penetrated Lu Yang's body. Lu Yang's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Hao Xiaoxing, allowing the crimson beam to enter his body.
"Hahaha, boy, you've already been wounded by my sword energy. It will shred your internal organs, and you're now a cripple. However, I won't let you off so easily. I will cut off your head to avenge Guo Guangyi. You killed the Guo family, and this is your fate!"
Hao Xiaoxing said, smiling slyly as he walked step by step towards Lu Yang.
Lu Yang stood there, motionless for a long time.
Ling Que Wang suddenly stood up, preparing to rush forward and rescue Lu Yang.
"Ling Que Wang, what are you doing?"
Guo Shouren, who had been observing the situation from the side, also stood up directly and looked at Ling Que Wang, asking coldly.
"None of your damn business!"
Ling Que Wang directly cursed at Guo Shouren.
"You..."
"As the dignified Ling Que Wang, saying such words, aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?"
Guo Shouren had not expected Ling Que Wang to be so direct, uttering such an uncivilized remark towards him.
"Laughingstock? Compared to your Guo family, what is this? Your Guo family is treacherous and cruel. Sooner or later, I will destroy the Guo family!"
Ling Que Wang roared coldly. With Guo Shouren by his side, it became extremely difficult for Ling Que Wang to save Lu Yang. This was because Guo Shouren was a formidable expert. With Ling Que Wang's current strength, he could at most fight Guo Shouren on equal footing. It was almost impossible to get past Guo Shouren to rescue Lu Yang.
Ling Que Wang could only pray that Lu Yang had a backup plan. Otherwise, if he truly died here, she would have no way to explain herself to her grandmother or the Lu family. After all, Lu Yang was still a bachelor with no children.
"Alas, isn't this kid very powerful? Didn't he kill Guo Guangyi? Why is his performance so poor now? He's about to be killed by Hao Xiaoxing!"
"Yeah, this isn't logical. He's clearly a powerful expert, but he can't display any of his strength. Could it be that someone tampered with him?"
"It's possible. I know that this Hao Xiaoxing has ties with the Guo family. This kid killed Guo family's top seed. How could the Guo family easily let him go? He can only wait for death!"
"..."
Countless people sighed in their hearts seeing Lu Yang like this.
Hao Xiaoxing had already walked up to Lu Yang and raised his long sword, swinging it towards Lu Yang's neck.
"You think this will kill me? That's looking down on me too much, isn't it?"
At this moment, Lu Yang looked up, his eyes filled with amusement.
"What?"
Hao Xiaoxing felt an unprecedented fear from Lu Yang's gaze. He immediately withdrew his sword, wanting to retreat, but it was clearly too late to retreat now. How could Lu Yang give Hao Xiaoxing a chance to escape?
Lu Yang threw a punch. It seemed ordinary and unassuming, yet it was ancient and grand. The punch was slow, but Hao Xiaoxing couldn't avoid it. As the punch landed on his chest, it sent Hao Xiaoxing flying backward.
With a "peng" sound, Hao Xiaoxing's body was like a kite with a broken string, flying backward rapidly before crashing heavily to the ground.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was utterly astonished. They had not expected Hao Xiaoxing to be sent flying by a single punch from Lu Yang, thus being defeated.
Lu Yang straightened up, and instantly, the true qi around him dispersed across the entire battle arena, forcing everyone to squint their eyes.
"Why? This kid was clearly poisoned, yet he's completely unharmed. And his true qi..."
"How can this kid's true qi be so surging? What is his cultivation level? Could he be a Grandmaster of Martial Arts?"
Guo Shouren looked at Lu Yang incredulously, his eyes filled with anger and jealousy.
Ma Xiangqian quickly stepped forward to check Hao Xiaoxing's injuries. At this moment, Hao Xiaoxing's heart had been shattered by Lu Yang, and he was dead beyond doubt.
One move, killing Hao Xiaoxing.
"Mr. Guo, Hao Xiaoxing is dead!"
Ma Xiangqian immediately said to Guo Shouren.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Shouren's expression instantly turned cold. He had not expected another of his seeded contestants to be killed by Lu Yang. Lu Yang had now killed two of Ma Shouren's subordinates, which caused Guo Shouren immense heartache.
"Boy, since you won the match, why did you show such ruthless killing intent?"
Guo Shouren stared intently at Lu Yang and asked.
"Because he just tried to kill me, so I had to kill him!"
Lu Yang sneered, completely disregarding Guo Shouren. Even if Guo Shouren himself stepped onto the stage, Lu Yang could defeat him. If he were to deploy the Black Dragon Token, Guo Shouren would naturally not escape death. However, Lu Yang did not want to expose his identity prematurely, especially since there were many eyes and ears present. If his Black Dragon Token were to be used, his identity as the Black Dragon King would be compromised.
"Good, very good!"
Guo Shouren almost gnashed these words out from his mouth, his face turning extremely grim.
"Hu Biao, you go. You must kill this kid!"
Guo Shouren said to his last seed.
"Mr. Guo, I am no match for this kid. I forfeit!"
Unexpectedly, Hu Biao directly forfeited the match. He wanted to live and not become a soul under Lu Yang's sword.
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, Guo Shouren was instantly enraged. The people his Guo family had nurtured were actually disobeying the Guo family's command. This instantly caused Guo Shouren's face to turn cold, and killing intent surged.
"Mr. Guo, please calm down. Can we have a fair and normal match now!"
Ma Xiangqian, seeing that Guo Shouren was enraged, quickly advised him.
Guo Shouren glanced at Hu Biao, said nothing, and returned to his seat.
"Next up are Hu Biao and Liu Wuming!"
Ma Xiangqian shouted directly.
