Li Minggui didn't waste words and got straight to the point.

As soon as he spoke, the entire audience showed excited expressions.

They were all here for this: the conflict between the Death Fist Society and the Dragon Gate Martial Hall.

"This match, at the mutual agreement of both parties, will adopt a no-referee, no-rules, no-limit format. Both parties have voluntarily signed a life-and-death contract and will fight each other on the stage until one is dead!"

As he spoke, two members of the Death Fist Society walked out from behind Li Minggui, took out two life-and-death contracts, and displayed them to the audience.

Demon Mountain and Su Ti also walked forward and signed and fingerprinted the life-and-death contracts in front of everyone.

However, when fingerprinting, Demon Mountain looked at Su Ti, grinned, bit his finger, and smeared the blood on the life-and-death contract, looking extremely fierce. After finishing, he even wiped his neck, making a provocative gesture.

Su Ti, on the other hand, used inkpad. After pressing his fingerprint, he smiled warmly at Demon Mountain, which made Demon Mountain pause for a moment.

At this point, even though the match hadn't officially started, there was already some commotion below.

After all, the disparity in size between Demon Mountain and Su Ti was huge. One was over two meters tall, while the other was only 1.74 meters. It was like an adult and a child. Even those who didn't understand martial arts or fighting could see the huge difference between the two.

Many people were even confused, wondering how the Dragon Gate Martial Hall had accepted such a mismatched fight.

On Long Yuanzheng's side, the atmosphere was heavy. The master and his three disciples were all silent, watching Su Ti.

Li Zong's side was the complete opposite. Although Li Zong forced himself to remain calm, his eyes held anticipation and joy. Only Li Mingsheng looked depressed and somewhat dissatisfied.

It was Li Minggui who had proposed that he and Li Mingsheng challenge Su Ti simultaneously. He felt something was off at the time, but he had no better option and could only agree, for the brothers to "compete fairly."

As expected, Su Ti only accepted Li Minggui's fighter challenge and declined his. If Su Ti died at the hands of Demon Mountain, the credit would naturally go to Li Minggui. At that time, only Li Minggui would take over Li Zong's Death Fist Society.

However, despite his unwillingness, Li Mingsheng could do nothing about it.

On the other side, after Su Ti and Demon Mountain finished signing and fingerprinting, and after a pre-match inspection to confirm they had no hidden weapons, metal objects, etc., the two walked towards the ring together.

As the octagon cage closed and locked, the match entered the final preparation stage.

Su Ti twisted his neck, ankles, and wrists, slightly warming up his body, while looking at Demon Mountain opposite him.

This wasn't the first time he had entered this death octagon cage. He had entered it once when he first transmigrated here, but that time it was forced. This time, he had voluntarily requested to enter.

Demon Mountain also showed a ferocious grin. At this moment, he tore off his shirt, revealing a body of bulging muscles.

His muscles were large and filled with a yellowish-brown color, making him look like a giant rock at first glance.

Demon Mountain was extremely confident in the outcome of this match. To reach his current level, in addition to his extraordinary talent, he had also used various muscle-enhancing potions and had practiced the external martial art Giant Rock Body, reaching the minor accomplishment stage!

This technique involved daily impact with hard mountain rocks, supplemented by special medicinal baths to wash the body. Over time, his skin became thick and rough, and his resistance to strikes was extremely strong! After reaching minor accomplishment, ordinary punches and kicks could barely injure him, and he even had considerable resistance to weapons like swords, knives, and staffs.

"I remember last time you said that any cat or dog could challenge you, huh, little chick, I will definitely make you regret what you said today."

Tearing off his shirt, Demon Mountain looked at Su Ti with a ferocious grin. He was Li Minggui's trusted subordinate, having killed countless people in underground boxing rings. Since his debut, this was the first time he had been provoked like this, so he naturally held a grudge.

Facing Demon Mountain's provocation, Su Ti just continued his warm-up without replying.

Just then, the one-minute warm-up time ended, the gongs and drums sounded, and the duel officially began.

The moment the gong sounded, Demon Mountain charged forward like a giant beast!

With his two-meter height and over three hundred pounds of weight, his charging posture was like a humanoid beast.

The fierce wind he stirred up even changed the expressions of the nearby audience. They had no idea how Su Ti, with his small physique, could withstand this?

Besides dodging, there was simply no other option!

However, to everyone's surprise, Su Ti not only didn't dodge but instead directly rushed forward, throwing a punch at Demon Mountain!

As he threw the punch, Su Ti's bones throughout his body were like a great dragon, layering the force of his punch, which finally surged out from his right hand!

Bow Stance Straight Punch!

Seeing Su Ti's punch, Demon Mountain didn't dodge at all. He directly opened his arms and went for a grapple, clearly intending to take the damage and forcibly restrain Su Ti.

Given their physiques, Su Ti would be dead for sure if he was grabbed.

However...

Su Ti's eyes turned cold. He had guessed that Demon Mountain would underestimate his attack and wouldn't dodge this punch, relying on his physique and hard qigong. Therefore, he hadn't used his full strength.

It wasn't until this moment, when Demon Mountain made a grappling posture, that Su Ti suddenly unleashed the Golden Python Four Forms!

King Python Hand!

A large amount of vital energy surged, frantically gathering towards his right arm. In an instant, Su Ti's right hand swelled by nearly double, becoming completely red!

As the punch was thrown, the air exploded with a bang like a firecracker being ignited. Demon Mountain's expression changed drastically, but it was already too late.

This punch landed squarely on Demon Mountain's chest!

Boom!

Demon Mountain, who was trying to grapple Su Ti the second before, had his feet leave the ground the next second and was actually sent flying by a single punch!

This scene was incredibly shocking. A two-meter giant was sent flying by a little guy over 1.7 meters tall, like a child punching an adult and sending them flying, leaving the audience present dumbfounded.

And that wasn't all. After sending Demon Mountain flying with one punch, Su Ti didn't let up. He clasped his hands over his shoulders, assumed a charging posture, and suddenly leaped up, flying forward!

Hit in the chest by a King Python Punch, Demon Mountain, who was short of breath and felt tightness in his chest, hadn't even caught his breath when his vision went black. Su Ti leaped up like an eagle, blocking the lights in the arena.

Although he couldn't see the opponent's movements clearly, the battle-hardened Demon Mountain only felt a strong sense of death rushing towards him and instinctively covered his head with his hands.

Next second!

Swish! Snap!

Two black afterimages heavily struck Demon Mountain's arms, which were protecting his head, emitting a sharp sonic boom!

Demon Mountain grunted. His arms were not only bruised and purple at this moment, but also torn open, with wounds several centimeters deep! It was as if he had been heavily whipped by two thorny iron whips!

He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't blocked just now, and these two strikes had landed on his face or neck?!

Seeing this scene, the audience below was in an uproar, and Li Zong, who had been preparing to watch a good show, also widened his eyes.

"This is... the Dragon Gate's fighting style! Golden Python Four Forms!"

Not only him, but also Li Minggui, Li Mingsheng, and even Su Ti's three senior brothers and sisters, and even Long Yuanzheng, showed shocked expressions.

Li Mingsheng's eyes widened. He inherited Li Zong's martial arts talent, and his own martial arts attainment was extremely high. He saw the extraordinary nature of Su Ti's outburst at a glance.

"This kind of powerful fighting style absolutely cannot be used in the Tongli Stage!"

"Could it be that this kid has stepped into the Inner Refinement Stage in just seven days?!"

Li Minggui also exclaimed at this moment.

The three of them, father and sons, looked at each other, and all saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

But the facts were before them. From the perspective of the fighting style's power, Su Ti was indeed in the Inner Refinement Stage now!

"Inner Refinement Stage, it's actually the Inner Refinement Stage..."

Long Yuanzheng's hand, which was tightly gripping the chair, slowly loosened. Although he also felt it was incredible in his heart, if it was the Inner Refinement Stage, then Su Ti had a chance to win.

At this moment, in the octagon cage, Su Ti slowly retracted his hands.

His two arms were engorged with blood, but they didn't swell much. Instead, they stretched and lengthened like iron chains, even hanging down to his calves.

This was the unique qi and blood application technique of the Double Python Whip fighting style. It dislocated all the joints in the arms, relaxed the muscles, and stretched the bones, making his hands as hard and flexible as iron whips.

Finally, after accumulating strength by hugging his shoulders, he swung them out fiercely, and the resulting power was even greater than being whipped with an iron whip! Especially the center point, it was like being cut by a large pair of scissors!

However, the disadvantage was that each use required rejoining the arm joints, and there was a certain vacuum period. If he missed, it was easy to fall into a disadvantageous situation.

Su Ti clicked and reconnected his arm joints. Demon Mountain had also finished recovering his breath at this time and climbed up from the ground, clutching his chest.

Demon Mountain's arms were bruised and purple, with blood flowing down. Those were all drawn out by Su Ti's Double Python Whip.

"I didn't expect you to enter the Inner Refinement Stage and even master the Inner Refinement Stage fighting style."

Demon Mountain panted slightly, and the expression on his face became serious.

"I underestimated you. Next, I will use my full strength."

"So much nonsense, take my punch!"

Su Ti snorted coldly and threw another King Python Hand.

His arm swelled like a giant python, his hand clenched into a fist, and the fist wind howled. One could completely imagine the power of this punch!

Facing this punch, Demon Mountain also roared and struck with all his might.

"Black Fiend Palm!"

With a palm strike, Demon Mountain's forearm swelled by a circle, and his broad palm was faintly black!

Boom!

Fist and palm met, and a qi explosion was generated in the middle. Both of them retreated half a step!

The fierce scene caused the audience present to exclaim!

But some people were even more shocked than the audience on the scene.

"How is this possible!"

Demon Mountain's face changed after countering with a palm. With his physique, even if their realms were the same, how could he be evenly matched with Su Ti!

In the same realm, it should definitely be that whoever has a larger physique, greater strength, and throws out more powerful moves!

But the actual result was that in the power confrontation just now, he did not gain any advantage.

This scene also made Li Zong and Long Yuanzheng and others stunned. Could it be that Su Ti also had innate divine strength?

Long Yuanzheng, as Su Ti's master, thought even more at this time. There were indeed some people in this world who were powerful but whose strength was not easily reflected in their physique. Could it be that after breaking through the Inner Refinement Stage, Su Ti's talent in terms of strength was also developed?

In fact, everyone's guesses were wrong. There was only one reason for the two of them being evenly matched.

Looking at the astonished Demon Mountain in front of him, Su Ti's heart was cold.

"Sorry, my realm is higher than yours."

Su Ti did not say this sentence. He just didn't give the other party time to breathe and threw another punch!

Demon Mountain was only at Inner Refinement Layer 1, while Su Ti had already reached Inner Refinement Layer 2, and his fighting style realm had also reached minor completion. The power of his moves was naturally greater than Demon Mountain, who was at Inner Refinement Layer 1 and whose fighting style had not broken through to minor completion.

Coupled with the fact that Demon Mountain's arm had already been injured by Su Ti before he made his move, it was natural for the two of them to be evenly matched when they clashed head-on.

Facing Su Ti's punch, Demon Mountain could only grit his teeth at this moment and take it head-on with the Black Fiend Palm.

Boom!

Fists and palms met, creating a visible air explosion, and both men retreated again.

However, Su Ti was unharmed, while Demon Mountain's forearm was covered in blood.

Although neither had an advantage in strength, the wounds on Demon Mountain, inflicted by Su Ti's Double Python Whip during their clash of power, were now being torn open and expanding!

Not only that, but after taking a King Python Hand from Su Ti earlier, he now took two more punches head-on, and a dull pain faintly emanated from his chest.

Boom boom boom!

Su Ti had already noticed this and was now even more relentless, throwing punch after punch!

Upon reaching the Inner Refinement Stage and mastering the Qi and Blood Fighting Style, the combat methods of Ancient Martial Arts practitioners actually became simpler.

Throw out a Qi and Blood Fighting Style move, can they take it? If they can't, they die!

Dodge? Attacks of the same level in the Inner Refinement Stage aren't that easy to dodge, and besides, Demon Mountain himself is a power-type martial artist, not agile, making it even harder for him to dodge!

Unable to dodge, he could only take it head-on with his Qi and Blood Fighting Style Black Fiend Palm!

So the two of them continued to exchange blows without any fancy moves.

But one or two punches were fine.

Three or four punches, five or six punches, seven or eight punches!

After more than a dozen punches, Demon Mountain couldn't take it anymore.

Blood flowed profusely from his arms, the cuts on his arms splitting open like a baby's mouth, freely gushing blood.

The internal injuries in his chest also worsened with each clash, making it difficult for him to gather his breath, which in turn led to his strength and stamina decreasing.

I can't keep going like this.

Massive blood loss, coupled with difficulty breathing, had already made Demon Mountain's massive physique precarious, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Therefore, a fierce glint appeared in Demon Mountain's eyes, and he made a decision.

Su Ti threw another punch. This time, Demon Mountain didn't dodge or evade, desperately circulating the Giant Rock Body. At the cost of a slight indentation in his chest, he blocked the punch!

Then he spread his arms and grabbed Su Ti in a grapple, tightly locking his hands and waist!

"Die!"

Demon Mountain's eyes turned red, and he roared desperately, using all his strength to crush Su Ti.

He was born with divine strength and had taken supplements later. Although he was only at the first layer of Inner Refinement, his absolute strength was higher than Su Ti's.

With his hands locked and unable to exert force or unleash his Qi and Blood Fighting Style, Su Ti couldn't compete with him in terms of strength.

Just as Su Ti's arms and waist bones were cracking and popping, as if about to be snapped in half by Demon Mountain, at that moment.

Su Ti suddenly opened his eyes, revealing an extremely fierce gaze.

"Scaled Python Armor."

Boom!

In an instant, all the muscles throughout Su Ti's body bulged, twitching wildly as if in a frenzy!

In an instant, Demon Mountain felt like he wasn't holding a person.

Instead, it was countless giant pythons thrashing wildly inside a steel wire sack!

The constantly rolling and rampaging power made it impossible for him to hold on, creating a gap.

Su Ti seized this opportunity, instantly unleashing immense power throughout his body, directly forcing open Demon Mountain's hands.

With Demon Mountain's hands wide open, Su Ti's arms shot out with a whoosh, instantly transforming into two King Python Hand moves.

His fingernails were sharp as knives, fiercely digging into Demon Mountain's shoulders. The powerful force caused his fingers to sink in halfway!

Then he pulled his hands down, his ten fingers like razors, cutting directly downwards!

Swish!

From Demon Mountain's shoulders down to his forearms, ten deep bloody gashes appeared, deep enough to see bone, severing all the muscles and blood vessels along the way!

Demon Mountain's hands were disabled, and he let out a scream, but it was cut short. It turned out that Su Ti didn't stop after disabling his hands, and a forward-stepping push palm from the King Python Hand struck his chin!

The powerful force directly shattered Demon Mountain's chin, sending teeth and blood flying into the air!

The chin is where the body's nerves are located. After taking a heavy blow, Demon Mountain's consciousness blurred, and he instinctively retreated, wanting to fall to the ground.

But Su Ti didn't even give him a chance to fall. A forward-stepping punch from the King Python Hand struck Demon Mountain's liver area, sending him flying off his feet with a bang, soaring into the air, and slamming against the wall of the octagon cage.

Then Su Ti leaped forward, spread his arms, and unleashed punch after punch from the King Python Fist like a machine gun onto Demon Mountain's chest.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Demon Mountain's massive body was plastered against the cage wall by the violent and surging fist force, unable to fall down!

His ribs snapped one by one, and blood spurted from Demon Mountain's mouth like a faucet, splashing onto Su Ti's face and body. Su Ti didn't even blink, punching wildly as if possessed!

One punch, then another!

The steel bars behind Demon Mountain began to bend and deform, and the deformation continued to expand with Su Ti's onslaught, growing larger and larger!

Finally, they could no longer bear it and snapped with a loud bang!

Demon Mountain's massive body flew out of the cage. His chest was beaten into a pulp, and he had long since stopped breathing.

Su Ti, covered in blood, walked out from the damaged cage wall. Blood dripped continuously from his hands. Facing the stunned audience, his eyes were cold. He suddenly raised his hand and swung it forcefully.

A spray of blood suddenly flew out, splashing heavily in front of Li Zong and his two sons. A few drops of blood even landed on the pristine white leather shoes of Li Zong, who stood at the front.
