The Final Match, A Fifty-Fifty Chance

No one expected that Lu Li would actually punch through the Demon Spirit Armor with his bare hands.

He won again!

And this battle could only be described with one word:

Brutal!

So what if you are wearing powerful armor? He would still beat you to death, smash you to death, alive!

It was simply too savage!

A true demonic style!

Full of killing intent!

After witnessing this, the crowd felt a slight shock in their hearts.

Gaze after gaze of surprise and astonishment swept over Lu Li.

In particular, Lady Red Furnace and Green Lotus, the master and disciple, looked over with beautiful eyes shimmering with intrigue.

Such ferocious power, appearing on a Qi Refining cultivator? How did he do it?

And what was that golden light on his fist?

The Scripture Protection Elder's eyes flickered with crystalline light, lost in thought.

On the other side, the expressions of True Lord Yellow Spring, True Lord Flying Fox, True Lord Blood Transformation, and the Great Devil King were all somewhat unsightly.

Li Jing's expression collapsed completely, his face turning gloomy.

Two people dead in a row, both killed cleanly and efficiently, without even harming a single hair on this Lu Li.

It was truly a heavy loss!

Of course, none were happier than Bai Jinfei and Ghost Demon True Person, smiles emerging on their faces.

Bai Jinfei was also the most surprised in his heart.

Since when did his Junior Brother Lu become so ferocious?

"Hahahahaha."

At this moment, Ghost Demon True Person's laughter rang out again: "Someone, cut the table into ten-pound chunks, ten-pound small pieces, and mince the rest into bits. Let this Great Devil King have a good taste, and bring some water too, don't let him choke!"

His voice was filled with incomparable triumph.

The Great Devil King's face turned black on the spot.

The giant man felt a hint of regret. Shifting his gaze, he gave an awkward laugh: "Haha, just now, This Seat was only joking..."

"What, trying to go back on your word? Then why call yourself the Great Devil King? You might as well call yourself the Great Turtle King! Bah! A spineless coward! A man who doesn't keep his word!"

Before he could finish, Ghost Demon True Person sneered mockingly.

The Great Devil King's face sank again. He slammed the table and gritted his teeth: "Hmph! Isn't it just eating a table? This Seat will eat it for you to see!"

With that, he grabbed the jade table beside him, opened his mouth wide, and revealed two rows of snow-white teeth.

He tilted his head back and took a bite!

Crunch.

The man actually bit a large chunk off the jade table and swallowed it after a few chews.

Then, crunch, crunch, crunch...

In the blink of an eye, the Great Devil King had eaten the entire table, clean, without leaving a single scrap behind.

"Old Ghost Li, are you satisfied now?"

The Great Devil King said coldly.

"Not satisfied. This jade table of mine was bought from the Daoist sects for ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones each."

Ghost Demon True Person said with a straight face, then suddenly changed his tone: "However, being able to see the dignified Great Devil King eat a table, it was worth it! Hahahahahaha! By the way, I just used a Recording Stone to capture the scene of you eating the table. I plan to watch it whenever I have free time to cheer myself up! Hahahahaha!"

The laughter was wild and incredibly triumphant.

The Great Devil King's expression collapsed instantly, the veins on his forehead throbbing wildly.

Lu Li watched from the side with a cold, indifferent expression.

He glanced at the woman lying on the ground in a miserable state, ripples of emotion stirring in his heart.

Another person had died by his hands.

But to establish his authority, deter others, and build his own brutal demonic image, he had no other choice.

Most importantly, if he didn't strike to kill, the one lying on the ground would be him.

Boom.

Just then, a mass of pitch-black flames erupted from the floor, burning the body clean until it vanished into nothingness.

Lu Li let out a silent breath, turned around, and prepared to return to Ghost Demon True Person's side.

"Wait!"

At this moment, True Lord Yellow Spring spoke up. He stared at Lu Li, eyes narrowed slightly, and said slowly, "Junior Brother Li, this true disciple of yours is quite impressive. How about we have another match?"

Hm? Again?

A gauntlet?

Lu Li frowned.

Ghost Demon True Person sensed a hint of conspiracy and shifted his gaze. "True Lord Yellow Spring, we've already had two matches. Have you not seen enough of this show?"

"Of course not."

True Lord Yellow Spring smiled faintly. "The previous two matches were decided too quickly; I didn't get my fill. Besides, there were no stakes, so it wasn't very exciting. How about this: for this final match, I will put up a drop of Kunpeng True Blood as a wager. Junior Brother Li, what do you think?"

Kunpeng True Blood?!

Upon hearing these four words, green light flared in Ghost Demon True Person's eyes.

Behind his head, the blood-colored little fish within the halo of pitch-black light began to swim frantically, appearing somewhat agitated.

The Kunpeng is one of the primordial true spirits; its blood holds immense benefits for the Kunpeng Devil Art.

"Is that a promise?"

Ghost Demon True Person pondered for a moment, then asked with narrowed eyes.

"A word once spoken cannot be overtaken by a team of four horses."

True Lord Yellow Spring smiled indifferently.

Ghost Demon True Person frowned, glanced at Lu Li, and fell into deep thought.

Just then, True Lord Flying Fox raised his hand and plucked three snow-white feathers from thin air, placing them on the table. "I'll add to the wager! Old Ghost Li, these three Heavenly Fox Feathers can be refined into a clone that is indistinguishable from the real thing! It is a top-tier treasure for escaping! Do you dare to bet against me?"

Ghost Demon True Person's expression shifted again, revealing a look of temptation.

"Hmph."

Before he could even finish, Great Devil King Zhentian let out a thunderous cold snort. With a flip of his large hand, a piece of pitch-black wood appeared in his palm. "Old Ghost Li, this is a ten-thousand-year spirit herb, the Spirit-Urgent Mushroom. I'll bet against you too!"

Whoosh.

As soon as these words were spoken, whispers immediately erupted throughout the venue.

The Nascent Soul True Lords all had their expressions shift slightly. They stared at the black wood in Great Devil King Zhentian's hand, their eyes burning with heat.

Even the Scripture Protection Elder seemed unsettled, casting several extra glances at it.

Clearly, this ten-thousand-year spirit herb was no ordinary item.

Ghost Demon True Person was visibly tempted and eager to act, but he did not agree immediately. His gaze shifted to Lu Li, and he sent a telepathic message:

"Lu Li, those two from before were only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. True Lord Yellow Spring and his group specifically brought two sixth-level Qi Refining cultivators to target you; they were clearly cannon fodder meant to test your strength. Whoever comes out next will be the final, lethal strike! If you are unwilling, then forget it."

Unexpectedly, Ghost Demon True Person actually left the decision to Lu Li.

It seemed he had developed a bit of appreciation for his talent.

Should I fight or not?

Lu Li also fell into deep thought.

This final match would be extremely dangerous; one slight slip could lead to disaster.

Even if Ghost Demon True Person tried to intervene to save him, True Lord Yellow Spring and the others would certainly block him.

However, he glanced at Lady Red Furnace to the side, as well as the white-haired elder wearing a necklace of human skulls, and immediately made up his mind.

Following that, Lu Li nodded.

"Fine!"

Ghost Demon True Person looked pleased and sent a message: "Lu Li, if you win this match, Master will pass on a drop of Azure Flood Dragon True Blood from my private collection! I will also teach you the Kunpeng Devil Art! You need not worry too much; I have already asked the Scripture Protection Elder to ensure your safety! You will not be in danger!"

Flood Dragon blood?

A drop of Flood Dragon blood should be enough to sustain his cultivation until Foundation Establishment!

Lu Li's heart stirred, and he nodded.

Immediately, Ghost Demon True Person's gaze turned cold and sharp as he turned to ask, "True Lord Yellow Spring, for you to be willing to bring out Kunpeng True Blood, Heavenly Fox Feathers, and the Spirit-Urgent Mushroom, you clearly have your eyes on something I possess! Speak!"

"The Kunpeng Devil Art."

True Lord Yellow Spring smiled as he uttered those four words.

"What!"

Ghost Demon True Person's expression turned icy, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

Among cultivators, the greatest taboo is asking about another's cultivation techniques, let alone their primary one.

"Only half of the Kunpeng Devil Art. What is it, Junior Brother Li? Are you afraid?"

True Lord Yellow Spring smiled indifferently.

This was clearly a provocation.

"Hmph!"

Ghost Demon True Person's gaze was icy as he looked toward Lu Li, sending a telepathic message: "Lu Li, do you have any more trump cards?"

Lu Li nodded.

"What are the odds?"

Ghost Demon True Person continued to ask.

Lu Li pondered for a moment, then held up both palms.

"Fifty-fifty?"

Ghost Demon True Person frowned, but the next moment, his eyes flared with brilliance: "Good! I agree to this final match! Where is your man? Bring him out and let him meet his death!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Nascent Soul True Lords present were astonished.

He was actually willing to gamble the Kunpeng Devil Art?

True Lord Yellow Spring and the others exchanged glances, a trace of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Ghost Demon True Person had actually agreed so readily?

"Hmph, nothing but bluffing."

True Lord Flying Fox let out a cold snort, turned his head, and called toward the table behind him: "Nan Tian, come out."

"Yes."

Accompanied by a steady voice, a thin, small man in black stood up.

He gave a subtle nod to Li Jing.

Li Jing's expression was indifferent, his killing intent frigid.

The next moment, the thin, small man in black walked step by step toward the center of the hall.

Concealed within his sleeves, his left hand gripped the black iron dice "Pear Blossom Bloom," his right hand clutched the Tiger Soul Jade Talisman, and he held the Pure Silver Sword Pellet in his mouth.

He waited only for the moment he reached the center of the hall to unleash all three killing moves at once, striking Lu Li dead in a single blow!
