On the arena stood Li Jing'an.
Below the arena, Su Lianxin turned to look at Lin Xuan, eager to see him.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a faint approval.
"Cripple him."
His tone was unusually cold.
Wang Yan was injured because he was indeed outmatched; therefore, Lin Xuan would not avenge Wang Yan.
But as Li Jing'an said, in a martial arts arena, swords and blades have no eyes; life and death are irrelevant... so you can't blame anyone else!
I hope he never forgets this.
Upon hearing this, Su Lianxin's lips curled slightly, and she cupped her hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "Yes, Master, rest assured, your disciple understands."
"I will definitely not let Master down!"
With her long sword in hand, she stepped onto the arena, looking directly at Li Jing'an on the other side, her smile turning icy cold.
Li Jing'an narrowed his eyes as well. The boy he had injured earlier had been helped back by Su Lianxin.
"Are you that kid's senior sister?"
"You're not bad looking. How about this: if you're willing to become my concubine, I might spare you and your junior brother..."
Su Lianxin remained expressionless, not bothering to listen at all, and instead raised her sword without hesitation!
Seeing this, Li Jing'an sneered and shot out like an arrow.
Although he seemed to disregard Su Lianxin verbally, he held nothing back when facing her with his sword.
Alas...
Su Lianxin's strength was beyond his comprehension.
In the blink of an eye, a cold glint flashed past!
Pfft!
A few drops of blood splattered, Su Lianxin's eyes remained unchanged. Her tightly gripped longsword instantly broke through Li Jing'an's defenses. The unstoppable sword, with a strange and unpredictable movement, directly pierced through Li Jing'an's Dantian.
Then... she applied force with her hand and twisted it directly!
"Ah--!"
Li Jing'an let out a piercing scream, but he was completely unable to take any action.
His Dantian was directly shattered by Su Lianxin's One Sword, completely destroyed.
At the same time, the aura emanating from Li Jing'an was also rapidly receding and weakening.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Li Jing'an's cultivation level plummeted, and he became a frail mortal.
Su Lianxin drew her sword, and a string of blood beads fell, blooming into blood flowers on the arena floor.
Li Jing'an couldn't even withstand that much force and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Ignoring his disheveled state, his body trembled violently. He suddenly looked up, staring at Su Lianxin with a ferocious expression, completely insane.
"You—you dare to destroy my cultivation!?"
Li Jing'an stared at Su Lianxin in shock.
He was not only shocked by Su Lianxin's strength, but even more shocked that... the other party actually dared to use such a vicious attack on him?
He roared furiously and scratched at Su Lianxin.
But having lost his cultivation, his attack power was even weaker than a cat's.
Everyone else was stunned by what they saw.
Looking at Su Lianxin on the stage, everyone shivered involuntarily.
This woman is ruthless!
Despite the stares of the crowd, Su Lianxin unmoved, staring coldly at Li Jing'an, who was groveling before her like a stray dog.
"When you poisoned my junior brother, you should have been prepared to be retaliated against in kind."
"On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes; even if you die in battle, you can't blame anyone else. If you must blame someone, blame..."
"It's all your fault for being too weak!"
She repeated, word by word, exactly what Li Jing'an had said earlier.
Only then did the others realize what was happening.
They looked around, glancing at Wang Yan below the stage and then at Su Lianxin on stage, who stood there with a cold face and an air of triumph. They couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
That young man with extraordinary perseverance was already quite remarkable.
He even has such a monstrous and fiercely protective senior sister in the same sect; his luck is truly exceptional!
If I'm not mistaken, this woman's cultivation level... shouldn't be even below the Heavenly Profound Realm, right?
Yet he could cripple Li Jing'an with One Sword strike?
Fighting someone of a higher level isn't difficult for some prodigies, but when the person you're fighting is also a top-tier prodigy, that becomes exceptionally difficult.
They are all prodigies; who among them can easily crush those of the same realm, or even those of higher realms?
hiss...
Furthermore, using Li Jing'an as a scapegoat is truly audacious and arrogant on the part of this female cultivator!
After Su Lianxin finished speaking, the Li Household's servants also realized what was happening. They were all terrified and rushed forward to help their young master up.
One of them, his face filled with resentment, roared at Su Lianxin.
"You're finished! You, your sect, your clan, everyone connected to you!"
"How dare you lay such a cruel hand on our young master! The Li Household will never let you get away with this!!"
His resentment was even deeper than Li Jing'an's.
Having witnessed their young master being crippled, all they could think about now was how to withstand the wrath of the family head.
It's not that the Li Household lacks strong individuals, but rather that they feel it's unnecessary.
who are they?
The Li Household!
The top aristocratic families of the Dawn Empire!
Even the royal family of the Dawn Empire had to give the Li Household a lot of face.
Who dares to provoke them?
Furthermore, this is still the Dawn Empire!
Li Jing'an has always been the one bullying others, but unexpectedly, today he's the one who gets pecked blind by the geese after hunting them all day.
Not only did some people disregard the Li Household's authority, but some even took action and crippled Li Jing'an!
It's over...
Now, it's all over!
They hurriedly took the deranged Li Jing'an downstairs, and the others slowly came to their senses, their gazes towards Su Lianxin now showing a hint of pity and sympathy.
Li Jing'an is the most favored legitimate son of the Li Household in this generation, and is especially loved by the Li Household patriarch.
The patriarch of the Li Household was a powerful expert at the King Realm Eighth Level.
Its overwhelming power is absolutely unstoppable.
This exceptionally talented female cultivator belonged to a small, insignificant sect. How could she possibly withstand the wrath of the Li Household patriarch?
What a pity...
The people of the Jade Balance Sword Palace were also very nervous.
But thinking about Lin Xuan's character and conduct, he calmed down.
Senior Lin is unlikely to be a reckless person; for him to dare instruct his disciple to do this, he must...
As for the Jade Pivotal Star Sword Palace... it had long been silent, and that outside helper didn't dare to utter a single word!
explain?
What is there to say?
That's Li Jing'an!
Li Jing'an of the Li Household was rendered useless just like that.
Does he still dare to go up?
Sending someone to their death?
He's not stupid!
A bet...? If I lost, I lost. It's not like I paid for it myself!
We can't afford to mess with them!
In contrast, Su Lianxin was not worried at all about the impending retaliation from the Li Household.
She calmly returned to her seat and smiled slightly at Wang Yan, saying, "Junior brother, I've avenged you."
On the fighting stage, she couldn't kill her opponent, but she could make Li Jing'an wish he were dead!
Becoming useless is no easier than dying.
Wang Yan was deeply moved. He lowered his head and quietly rubbed his eyes. When he looked up again, he had a bright and grateful smile on his face.
"Senior sister..."
"Alright, take back those sentimental words." Su Lianxin waved her hand casually.
Lin Xuan, of course, wouldn't blame Su Lianxin. He smiled faintly and praised her a couple of times, not taking the Li Household to heart.
What about the Li Household Wang Household...?
Does it matter?
If they dare to come, we'll annihilate them.
