With the arrival of Bai Kuang, the people on Broken Dragon Mountain were undoubtedly excited.
Fang Yi had been too conspicuous just now, standing in opposition to them. They couldn’t do anything to Fang Yi, but Bai Kuang became their hope, and they hoped Bai Kuang could demonstrate his might and vent their anger for them.
"Damn, a bunch of people acting like they’ve taken some Viagra, really want to slap them one by one," Song Wuliang muttered under his breath.
Fang Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Strength isn’t determined by who yells the loudest."
With Bai Kuang’s arrival, it meant the showdown between him and Fang Yi would start soon.
Just then, someone walked over.
"Fang Yi, you must win tonight," Bai Jingjing said with a charming smile.
"For you, I definitely will," Fang Yi replied.
Bai Jingjing left, and Lin Mengyan came over, holding Yiyi.
"Big brother, you have to win, it wouldn’t be too much even if you beat that bad guy to death—the Bai Family people are really bad," the little loli pouted, her crisp voice sounding particularly pleasant.
Fang Yi couldn’t help but laugh and reached out to ruffle Yiyi’s mushroom-cut hair, immediately eliciting her dissatisfaction: "Not pinching the nose, but messing up my hair, big brother is also a big bad guy."
Fang Yi smiled and looked towards Lin Mengyan.
Lin Mengyan quickly said, "It was Yiyi who insisted on coming over, don’t... don’t think too much about it."
Fang Yi said, "It’s not me thinking too much, you are the one who’s talking too much."
Lin Mengyan immediately came back to her senses, realizing what she had just said was giving herself away.
Lin Mengyan’s pretty face turned slightly panicked and said, "You... just be careful yourself, don’t get killed." Then she pulled Yiyi and left.
"Big brother, good luck," the little loli’s crisp voice came as she was being pulled away.
"Your close female friends are really plentiful, how come I haven’t seen the Kong Family’s young lady?" Shen Binan said with a strange tone.
Fang Yi’s heart stirred, he tilted his head, leaned in, and smiled, "Jealous?"
With Fang Yi so close, Shen Binan’s cheeks turned slightly red, she scoffed and said, "Would I be jealous?"
Fang Yi said, "Okay, if you are not jealous, that’s good. Actually, there’s nothing going on between her and me, just friends, and you don’t need to care too much."
Shen Binan’s beautiful eyes flickered with a trace of panic, said, "I don’t care about what’s going on between you and your friends. I’m not your girlfriend, no amount of your explanation is useful."
Fang Yi laughed and said, "Really? Then why is your face red?"
Shen Binan quickly touched her face, the next moment she heard Fang Yi’s sneaky laughter and immediately glared at him.
Meanwhile, at the center of the flat ground on Broken Dragon Mountain, Bai Kuang slowly walked in, all the searchlights illuminating him. He looked tall and imposing, standing there with an air of ’I alone am honored.’
"Alright, it’s time for me to take the stage," Fang Yi dropped his teasing smile and walked toward the spot.
"Sister-in-law, oh no, Director Shen, come, the spectator seat is ready for you," Song Wuliang realized his slip-up and quickly corrected himself, making an inviting gesture.
As Fang Yi slowly walked onto the field, the surroundings fell silent. In the dark night, all eyes around focused on him, holding their breath, waiting for the battle to explode.
"Hurry up and start! I bet five hundred thousand on this Fang Yi, I want to see him lose," someone said, rubbing his hands, hardly able to refrain from joining Bai Kuang in the fight.
"Your five hundred thousand is nothing, I’ve bet a million!"
"Don’t worry, that Fang Yi is just at the fourth level of Human Level, while Young Master Bai is at the eighth level."
"Indeed, such a big gap, there’s really no suspense at all."
However, although they said that, Fang Yi’s calm demeanor still made them uneasy. Who could say for certain that he didn’t have something up his sleeve?
Bai Kuang interlaced his ten fingers and pushed them forward towards his abdomen, making his finger bones clatter. Then, he tilted his head from side to side as if warming up. His actions were clearly meant to intimidate Fang Yi.
Moreover, throughout this process, Bai Kuang’s sharp, sword-like gaze remained fixed on Fang Yi, which was quite provocative.
However, Fang Yi remained calm throughout, even looking at Bai Kuang as he warmed up, a faint smile playing on his lips.
At last, Bai Kuang shrugged his shoulders, making his bones crack. He clenched his fists, pounding them twice and lifting his chin, said, "Fang Yi, if you beg for mercy now, I might consider only crippling one of your arms."
"Have you ever killed anyone?" Fang Yi asked, seemingly off-topic.
Bai Kuang was startled. Had he ever killed anyone? Thinking about it, although he sounded fierce, he had never actually killed anyone; he had only crippled people. In a place like Xuan Cang, he didn’t dare to kill.
But not wanting to appear weak, Bai Kuang coldly responded, "What does it matter if I have killed or not?"
Fang Yi replied calmly, "I have killed."
Those three light words pierced Bai Kuang’s heart like a sharp sword. In the next moment, rage erupted inside Bai Kuang. He sneered, "I don’t care if you’ve killed or not; just wait to be tormented by me!"
With that said, Bai Kuang lunged forward like a wild buffalo, his momentum astonishing, aggressively charging towards Fang Yi.
A cryptic smile suddenly appeared on Fang Yi’s lips.
"Ha, this Bai Kuang got provoked by Fang Yi so easily. With such an impulsive temperament, he’s bound to lose," Old Master Song remarked regretfully, slapping his thigh as he sat in the pavilion.
Old Master Bai glanced at him, saying, "Old Song, it’s just the beginning. Let’s wait for the results." He had absolute confidence in his grandson.
Old Master Song said, "Huh? Wait for the results? I’ll bet ten million that this kid named Fang Yi will win. Old Bai, do you dare to take the bet?"
Provoked, Old Master Bai responded with a cold smile, "Let’s bet then!"
Broken Dragon Mountain had a somewhat unique terrain. Apart from the single path leading up the mountain, the rest of the mountain was difficult to ascend, its surfaces rough and jagged everywhere.
Silver moonlight scattered down, serenely illuminating Broken Dragon Mountain. In the darkness, several dark figures, blending into the surroundings, moved rapidly as if flying across, heading towards the mountain top.
These few dark figures, both males and females—mostly males—were ascending the mountain from different areas, clearly with ulterior motives. However, they weren’t disguised with covered faces; they were simply wearing black combat attire, not much different from ordinary people otherwise.
Halfway up the mountain, two split off to take the path, while the remaining four continued up another side of Broken Dragon Mountain.
The two who took the path, a young man and woman, moved quickly. The young man had long, wavy hair that made him look somewhat sinister.
The woman beside him tied her hair into a bun. She was very slim, almost snake-waisted, but her body, enclosed in a combat suit, was soft and curvaceous, revealing her figure.
"Stop!" Two bodyguards stepped out, blocking their way.
"What are you doing here? The area above is closed, and no unauthorized persons are allowed up," one of the bodyguards said coldly.
"We have invitations," the woman in black said with a coquettish smile, stepping forward.
The two bodyguards exchanged glances, feeling something was off. Usually, spectators going up to watch the fight didn’t need invitations, right?
One of the bodyguards suddenly had a bad feeling. Just as he was about to speak, the woman in black had already approached him, swiftly plunged a dagger into his chest, and covered his mouth to stifle any sound.
Seeing this, the other bodyguard was startled and about to act against the woman in black.
But at that moment, the long-haired man, like a spectral figure, also made his move.
