They slunk away with their tails between their legs!
But just then, Li Tianming called out, "Don't go. I haven't said I'm the one fighting you to the death today. So don't piss yourself and run just yet, all right?"
Whoosh!
The whole group turned back and fixed Li Tianming with cold stares.
"Then who is?"
Long Wangyu asked coldly.
Li Tianming nudged Ye Lingfeng and Lin Xiaoxiao forward. "These two. Their best showing was beating Li Ruoshi and Long Youyou. Both are more talented than anyone in your Hidden Dragon Palace or the Orderians, and neither is half your age. Pick whichever one you like."
Long Wangyu narrowed his eyes and studied Ye Lingfeng and Lin Xiaoxiao without moving.
"If I were you, I wouldn't pick the girl. Beating her wouldn't prove you're not trash, Long Wangyu."
Li Tianming grinned.
He was letting him choose!
It was a mind game.
The choice wasn't whether to fight.
He could pick his opponent!
That was how you showed confidence.
"Grandson of the Nether Dragon Emperor, you don't even dare pick someone under half your age who's ranked seventh on the Emperor Star Ranking? Then what are you here strutting around for? If you're afraid to die, stay away!"
Li Tianming shrugged.
"Brother Yu, watch out for a trick."
The others hurried to warn him.
A goad!
Wasn't that the very tactic they had used?
But Li Tianming's words left him little room to retreat.
Li Tianming wasn't offering to fight himself. He was offering Ye Lingfeng and Lin Xiaoxiao.
Their best showing was defeating opponents at the seventh level of the Astral Phase.
"Fine. I choose her!"
Long Wangyu drew a deep breath and pointed at Lin Xiaoxiao under the mocking gazes of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect disciples.
"Hahaha!"
The crowd
