Tense Standoff, A Grand Gamble!

"What?!"

In the spectator stands, whether it was the Lei Family or the Xie Family, even Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng, they all leaped to their feet, their expressions drastically changing.

Three Fire Python Tiger cubs meant three future Heaven Origin Realm experts. Such power was something none of them could afford to ignore!

"Fire Python Tiger cubs?"

Lei Bao's face suddenly flushed red. He exchanged a look with Xie Qian, their eyes flashing. Then, with righteous indignation, he declared, "Is this true?"

On the giant stage, Lin Yi and Wu Yun's expressions soured upon seeing the shameless behavior of the Lei and Xie families.

"The Fire Python Tiger was already heavily injured. Does whoever sees it first get to claim it? Why don't you say the entire mountain forest belongs to your Lei Family?"

Lin Yi swept his gaze around and sneered, "Does this mean that from now on, everyone who makes a harvest in the mountains has to hand it over to your Lei Family? I doubt anyone present would agree to that!"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, the expressions of everyone present flickered.

Even though they knew Lin Yi was deliberately provoking them, many still looked at the Lei Family members with a sense of wariness.

"Stop spouting nonsense!" Lei Bao's expression changed, and he shouted sternly.

As soon as Lei Bao finished speaking, Lin Zhentian immediately stepped forward and declared loudly, "What? Is your Lei Family so overbearing that you won't even let people speak?"

"Heaven and Earth spiritual treasures go to the capable. If Lei Li and the others failed, they can only blame their own lack of skill! If your Lei Family wants to snatch them, my Mad Saber Martial Hall will see you through to the end!"

Luo Cheng slammed his palm onto the stone chair, the fierce force shattering it. He grabbed the long saber at his waist and spoke with a sharp tone.

Following this, the two sides engaged in a war of words.

When the dispute reached an impasse, Xie Family Patriarch Xie Qian suddenly proposed settling the ownership of the Fire Python Tiger cubs through an arena match.

Lin Zhentian sneered, "With just your words, you want to claim the Fire Python Tiger cubs? Is there such a good thing in this world?"

"I'll use Ironwood Manor as collateral. If Lei Li loses to Lin Yi in this match, then Ironwood Manor will belong to your Lin Family. But if you lose, you must hand over the cub to my Lei Family. Lin Zhentian, do you dare to accept?"

Lei Bao's eyes flashed upon hearing Lin Zhentian's words, and he shouted sternly.

"Ironwood Manor?" Hearing this, not only Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng were stunned, but even Xie Qian was taken aback.

Ironwood Manor produced special ironwood and was a considerable asset to the Lei Family. This Lei Bao actually dared to use the manor as a stake?

"My Lin Family accepts this matter!"

Lin Yi had been waiting for this opportunity. Hearing Lei Bao's words, before Lin Zhentian could respond, he immediately agreed. Then, he looked towards Lin Zhentian and said earnestly, "Grandfather, trust me."

Looking at Lin Yi's gaze, Lin Zhentian hesitated for a moment. Recalling that Lin Yi had already broken through to the Earth Yuan Stage a few months ago, he made up his mind. He looked towards Lei Bao and said calmly, "Since you, Old Man Lei, have such courage, my Lin Family will accompany you this time!"

"Be careful later. Don't let that Lei Li fellow find any loopholes," Wu Yun said urgently beside Lin Yi on the giant stage.

"I will be careful," Lin Yi nodded slightly, then handed the Fire Python Tiger cub wrapped in cloth to Wu Yun. "Please watch it for me for a while."

"Okay," Wu Yun agreed, carefully taking it and holding it in his arms. He looked quite comical, like a nanny.

The original hunting competition had to be temporarily suspended due to this sudden turn of events.

However, the crowd felt that it was not a wasted trip, as they could witness the confrontation between the Lin and Lei families.

The other contestants on the stone platform retreated a distance, leaving a vast space in the center of the giant stage.

A referee also entered the arena to officiate the match.

Lin Yi walked slowly towards the center of the giant stage, his expression calm and unwavering.

Lei Li, on the other hand, had a grim expression, his eyes fixed on Lin Yi with a flash of malice. "This time, I will absolutely not give you any more chances!"

Lin Yi glanced at him and said casually, "Let's settle it with our skills."

"Both sides take your positions. The match begins!"

Seeing that both had entered the arena, the referee raised his hand and then abruptly waved it down.

As the referee's shout fell, Lei Li's expression became even colder. Dense Origin Energy flickered on his body's surface. The level of Origin Energy fluctuation clearly indicated he had reached the Earth Yuan Stage!

"As expected, Earth Yuan Stage..."

Upon seeing Lei Li's display, bursts of exclamations erupted from the Beast Horn Arena.

Lei Bao's face was filled with a smug smile.

However, his smile quickly froze. He discovered that the Origin Energy glow emanating from Lin Yi's body was even more potent than Lei Li's!

"How is this possible?"

Lei Bao suddenly stood up, his face ashen.

"Lin Yi is also Earth Yuan Stage?"

In the Beast Horn Arena, many people's eyes showed shock upon seeing this scene.

No wonder Lin Yi dared to accept this match!

The commotion outside the arena was extremely uncomfortable for Lei Li to hear.

"Lin Yi, don't get cocky. Even among those at the same Earth Yuan Stage, there are differences in strength!"

Lei Li shouted fiercely, his internal Origin Energy surging wildly. His gaze was fixed on Lin Yi like a venomous wolf. Suddenly, a strong Origin Energy fluctuation appeared on his right palm, instantly condensing all the Origin Energy within his body onto his hand.

As Lei Li's Origin Energy surged wildly, the luster grew more intense, eventually transforming into an unstable ball of light that churned frantically in his palm!

"The Lei Family's Thunderous Light!"

As the ball of light appeared in Lei Li's palm, Lin Zhentian and the others' expressions drastically changed, and they cried out in shock.

"A fourth-grade martial art, Thunderous Light, one of the Lei Family's two supreme skills! I didn't expect Lei Li to use this martial art directly!"

Not far away, Wu Yun also took a sharp breath, his face filled with gravity.

Lei Li stared intently at Lin Yi opposite him, a ferocious smile spreading across his face.

Lei Li had fought Lin Yi twice without gaining any advantage. This time, he was determined not to repeat the past. He wanted to defeat Lin Yi completely, and win beautifully!

Therefore, as soon as the fight began, he immediately used his strongest mastered martial art!

"Screech!"

Lei Li dashed out rapidly, the ball of light flashing in his palm. As it sliced through the air, it let out screeching sounds. It was imaginable that if this palm strike landed on a person, it would surely take their life!

"Lin Yi, this time, you are the one who will lose!"

Lei Li stomped on the ground, his body leaping up. He struck down at Lin Yi from above, his eyes revealing a chilling intent.

Gazing at the figure rapidly enlarging in his pupils, Lin Yi remained calm. His hands shifted, quickly forming a series of complex hand seals.

"It's the Mysterious Gate Seal! Why isn't Yi'er using Pure Yuan Finger?" Recognizing the hand seals Lin Yi was using, Lin Zhentian frowned slightly, feeling a bit worried.

Lin Yi was completely focused, paying no heed to anything else. His hand seals shifted rapidly, and deep blue Origin Energy condensed into a blue seal of light in his palm. Then, he abruptly raised his palm and heavily clashed with Lei Li, who was leaping down from above!
