"Quiet down. Let the match begin!"
Wu Daoling appeared on the stage with a roar.
His cold gaze swept across the audience below. Instantly, the entire place fell silent.
No one wanted to offend a Martial Honor because of something like this.
Gong …
The sound of the gong shook the sky, signaling the start of the match.
Li Mo cupped his hands politely. Wang clan's First Elder, Wang Kun, returned the greeting and went to Law Enforcement Elder.
"I forfeit!"
Hua …
What was supposed to be a spectacular fight turned out this way.
The spectators were in an uproar, booing incessantly!
"You scoundrels, come up and fight Li Mo if you can!
I, Wang Kun, admit I don't have the skill. Forfeiting isn't something to be ashamed of, so stop whining! "
After saying that, Wan Kun walked down the stage with his head held high and the attitude of a victor.
"Bah!
How shameless.
He's a mid-level Martial Emperor, yet he forfeited.
Are all Wang clansmen so cowardly? "
"Yeah, I thought it would be a good fight.
I didn't think it would end like this. I think we shouldn't hold this contest and just give Li Mo first. "
…
"First round, Li Mo wins!"
The disciplinary elder didn't want to see this result either, but he couldn't force Wang Kun to fight.
He had no choice but to announce the result.
Winning without a fight wasn't something Li Mo was excited about. He was confident he could defeat his opponent in one strike.
He calmly walked off the stage and went to where Liu Yan and the rest were.
Liu Yan took Li Mo's hand and smiled at him, congratulating him.
"Little Mo, since your competition is over, let's go.
Let's go back! "
Xuanyuan Wudi spoke softly. This place was too noisy and he didn't want to stay any longer.
"Grandpa, why don't you and grandaunt go back first. I want to watch a bit longer."
Li Mo understood Xuanyuan Wudi's character.
But he wanted to watch the other contestants. Know yourself, know your enemy, and you'll never be defeated.
Especially that black-robed man who gave him a familiar feeling.
"Alright!
In that case, your grandaunt and I will leave. You two be careful. "
As he spoke, he returned to the inn with Wanling.
The next few matches were not worth watching. All the high-level Martial Emperors passed through smoothly and advanced to the next round.
The black-robed man Li Mo was waiting for was the last to appear.
His opponent was also a High Level Martial Emperor, the same level as him.
"The final match is between Setting Sun Sect's Chi Jiao and Jade Clear Province's Liu Pu!"
Following the Law Enforcement Elder's command, the two on the field immediately assumed an attacking stance.
"Scarlet Dragon!
He was the cultivator sent by the Setting Sun Sect.
But its name is so strange, it doesn't sound like someone from the continent! "
Thinking of this, Li Mo had a plan.
Bang …
While Li Mo was in a daze, a muffled sound came from the stage.
Liu Pu spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out of the arena. The result of the match was already clear.
"The final match has been won by the Scarlet Dragon. All the winners today will fight again tomorrow!"
In just a few breaths of time, the Scarlet Flood Dragon defeated an opponent of the same level.
Li Mo was shocked. Not just him, but the spectators were also dumbstruck.
"Heavens, this Scarlet Flood Dragon is so strong. He defeated his opponent in one move. He and Li Mo are the strongest contenders for first place."
"Good thing I didn't sign up or I would've lost face."
"Ha-ha … we're in for a good show.
I wonder how good the fight between him and Li Mo will be. I'm looking forward to it! "
…
"Yan 'er, let's go!"
Li Mo's heart was in turmoil as he listened to the crowd's discussion.
He pulled Liu Yan back to the inn.
"What?
You said the Setting Sun Sect's cultivator is called Scarlet Flood Dragon? And he's so strong! "
Back in the tavern, Li Mo told Xuanyuan Wudi everything he saw. Even Xuanyuan Wudi was shaken by the news.
"Little Mo, do you think you can beat him when you meet him?"
"Difficult!
I sensed a familiar aura from him. But he didn't use his spiritual qi during the fight, so I couldn't tell who he was.
Moreover, he relied on his powerful body to win. His power should be on par with mine.
But don't worry, I think I've found a way to unravel his identity.
As long as we know who he is, it won't be hard to deal with him. "
"What is it?"
Xuanyuan Wudi and the rest were puzzled.
"If we want to know Scarlet Flood Dragon's true identity, we must get it from their mouths."
With a flash of white light, Mo Yun and Lang Li, trapped in the Xuanyuan Mirror by Li Mo, appeared in the room.
However, they were no longer in any danger.
Under the Xuanyuan Mirror's restraint, there wasn't a trace of spiritual qi coming from them. Even their cultivation was lacking.
The two collapsed on the floor, their scarlet eyes glaring at Li Mo.
"I trust you two have been well since we last met. Have you been well in the Xuanyuan Mirror?"
"Humph!
Li Mo, kill us if you can.
Don't try to be hypocritical here. "
Mo Yun's hoarse voice echoed in the room. She was no longer that charming and alluring woman.
"Don't be so angry. I let you out today so you can help me find someone."
"Bah!
Stop dreaming. Don't waste your time. I won't say a word. "
"He-he … just because you won't say it doesn't mean Lang Li won't!"
Li Mo's eyes turned to Lang Li.
"Humph!
Li Mo, you think too highly of me.
I am one of the Martial God's four protectors. Do you think it'll be that easy to get the information you want from me? "
Lang Li gave Li Mo a disdainful look, then turned to Mo Yun with heartache.
"Alright!
It's fine if you don't say anything.
I'll have to trouble you to take Yan 'er outside. "
Wan Ling understood Li Mo's meaning. She chuckled and took the baffled Liu Yan out of the room.
"Ah!"
A hoarse and miserable cry rang out from Mo Yun's mouth.
Her fingers were broken by Li Mo.
"Li Mo!
What are you doing?
Come at me if you can! "
Lang Li didn't expect Li Mo to do this to Mo Yun.
"Lang Li, I know you like Mo Yun.
Tell me everything I want to know and I won't hurt her again. "
"Li Mo, you despicable scum!"
Lang Li's heart was bleeding. He was deeply attracted to Mo Yun the first time he saw her and swore to marry her one day.
How could he bear to see the woman he loved suffer?
"I won't deny that I am a despicable scum, but that depends on who I'm dealing with.
I don't have that much patience. It's up to you whether you agree or not. "
"Ah …"
Li Mo's foot stomped on Mo Yun's broken finger again, sending yet another wretched scream.
"Y-you let her go. I-I'll talk!"
Lang Li had no choice but to compromise.
"Wouldn't it have been over if you'd agreed earlier?
You made me do it. You're a cheap bastard! "
Whoosh …
