Chapter 1133: Chapter 1134: The Dispersal Chapter 1133: Chapter 1134: The Dispersal Watching the smug Li Xiaobai on the stage, a group of cultivators was filled with indignant fury, lashing out with both words and writing. If only their strength permitted, they would have loved to descend into the arena themselves and take him down.
What the hell, it turns out the platform was rife with shady dealings; that Long Aotian effortlessly advanced round by round all the way to the end with bye matches, and this Han Buzhu was fighting fixed matches all along. Every formidable opponent he faced, without exception, gave up due to all sorts of strange and bizarre reasons—a bunch of fakes.
How were they supposed to play with this? They had placed heavy bets on Su Yunbing. Was their hard-earned Immortal Stones going down the drain just like that?
“Damn it!”
“I bet three million top-grade Immortal Stones. To think Su Yunbing was actually involved in a fixed match!”
“Three million is nothing. Look at that guy over there who bet ten million, he’s probably contemplating suicide now!”
“What a sham of a competition, rigged with dark sches through and through. This won’t do; this match doesn’t count. Where’s that fatso? Give back my Immortal Stones!”
The cultivators at the foot of the stage were red-faced and thick-necked with anger, but aside from themselves, no one else gave them any heed. Liu Jinshui had slipped away early on. Only now did they genuinely realize that they had been duped. That fatty was so darn crafty; he was in cahoots with the ones rigging the matches on the stage!
Fucking hell, they even said mbers of the Villain’s Guild didn’t know each other; this was clearly in perfect harmony, alright? Fixed matches on the stage, betting rings below, with such a clear and experienced division of labor—they’ve clearly done this more than once!
On the stage, Li Xiaobai let out a long breath and sheathed his longsword.
The senior sister’s attacks were fierce indeed. If he hadn’t acquired the Explosive Clothing Divine Skill at the last minute, he really might not have been able to withstand her onslaught.
But speaking of which, that skill was truly excellent. From now on, he didn’t need to wear clothes on his upper body, his defensive power would double—even if a Semi-Saint arrived, unless they were serious, they wouldn’t be able to harm him.
Atop the stone pillar,
The Island Master and the Great Elder had lost all interest in the ongoing matches on the stage. To them, as long as the ultimate victor wasn’t Long Aotian, everything else was aningless. Now, with a critical figure dead, they would indeed have to employ so special thods.
Losing a genius with the power of the blue-blood lineage of the Dragon Race was a huge blow to Ice Dragon Island. If a prodigy of the purple-blood lineage also got taken away by a foreign genius, the future of Ice Dragon Island would be bleak. A sect without a top-tier talent to hold the fort would only decline by the day.
“The results of the competition have already been decided. On this platform for the matrimonial contest, the only one left standing is . Can you not declare my victory now?”
“Hurry and bring forth Immortal Longxue. I, Han Buzhu of the Villain’s Guild, am here today to take the master’s bride back to the mountains!”
Li Xiaobai stood on the stage with his hands clasped behind his back, speaking out loud.
A silence fell over the valley. With Long Aotian dead and the Island Master’s disciple about to be taken by an outsider, if they really followed the rules, Ice Dragon Island would lose two prodigies in one day. From then on, this superpower would have no rising talents for a long ti, no contenders among the mighty.
Anyone with clear eyes knew, the martial contest to seek a marriage partner was nothing but a front. The Island Master and the Great Elder hoped to use the platform to introduce Long Aotian to the world, but they didn’t expect that the representatives sent by the super sects wouldn’t play by the rules. Their disciples, one more monstrous than the other, resulted in the Dragon Race’s prodigy not only failing to show his face but also getting killed in one strike like any ordinary passerby.
“In today’s competition, it is indeed Young Master Han who has erged victorious.”
“I hereby announce that Han Buzhu of the Icy Frost Sect is the victor of this martial matrimonial contest. However, a wedding involves many complexities and rituals—today, Ice Dragon Island needs to prepare thoroughly.”
“I ask everyone to rest a while. Tomorrow at noon, I will bring Long Xue here to complete the marriage ceremony for the young master!”
“Are there any objections?”
As the Island Master stood up slowly on the stone pillar, her gaze was cold, yet she revealed nothing. She intended on adhering to the regulations, and the marriage must be completed tomorrow. If anyone wanted to intervene and save Long Xue, they would need to act tonight.
“No objections, I’ll leave it to the Island Master’s arrangents.”
Li Xiaobai’s eyes also flickered with a trace of unusual color, sensing that the other party was intentionally delaying. However, if it was only until tomorrow, he could wait. Nevertheless, according to the Great Elder’s temperant, it was unlikely he would let Li Xiaobai off the hook.
“Well, in that case, let’s disperse for now, we shall et again tomorrow.”
The Island Master spoke indifferently, her figure flickering and vanishing from the spot in an instant.
The Great Elder Lin Bei’s eyes darkened as he stared fiercely at Li Xiaobai below. After a mont, he also turned and left.
“The play is over; though it was a farce, today’s battle was quite satisfying to watch. The younger generation is indeed formidable!”
The Second Elder lay on the lap of a beauty, speaking languidly. In the next second, Xiaohong and Xiao Lu, the two enchanting beauties, lightly stepped away, taking him with them as they floated off.
The cultivators outside were utterly dumbfounded.
Is that it? The matter ended just like that, without addressing the fixed match?
Real silver and gold were wagered, and now they were crying without tears; they had lost miserably in this round. Most crucially, that fat man had vanished; they could not find him anywhere in the arena. It wasn’t just him; even the cultivators from the Golden Blade Sect who had been cheering on stage with them had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been there.
This was undoubtedly preditated, those bastards were setting them up!
Li Xiaobai slowly descended the stage, enduring the crowd’s judgntal gazes like knife cuts. If looks could kill, he would have died a thousand tis over by now.
The Elders and high-ranking officials from the Super Sects also looked quite displeased; they had been deceived. They had thought that Liu Jinshui, a talent from another Super Sect, wouldn’t deceive them too much, but it turned out they had underestimated the disciple’s shalessness. Although they had been tricked, they had no intention of making trouble.
It was precisely because of this staged fight that they were thoroughly convinced that the mbers of the Villian’s Guild truly ca from the sa hidden force. These disciples were already acquainted with one another; otherwise, how could their collaboration have been so flawless?
“Junior Brother, your cultivation level is profound, I am truly impressed.”
Yang Chen’s eyes were filled with surprise as he assessed Li Xiaobai. They huddled around Li Xiaobai, frantically feeling him up to discover what sort of physical condition allowed him to withstand Su Yunbing’s massive hamr.
Ye Wushuang’s eyes were brimming with curiosity, “Junior Brother, how can your body be so strong? I once felt Senior Sister’s physique, her flesh and blood contained faint sounds of bells, drums, and thunder, truly turning her body into that of a fierce dragon, but your physique seems to be lacking anything at all?”
“I practice the Qi and Blood Transportation Technique, it’s not about tempering the body; it’s different from Junior Brother’s thod.”
Su Yunbing explained that she was only physically stronger, and her Cultivation Technique was her foundation, not the tempering of the flesh. Li Xiaobai could block her massive hamr with his body, but her body couldn’t block his Sword Qi.
“I’ve long noticed you were no ordinary man. After today’s battle, I have gained a new level of respect for you. Your physical cultivation is excellent, much like my own in the past.”
Yitilou chid in as well.
“Senior Brothers and Sisters are too kind. It was all thanks to Senior Sister on stage showing rcy; it can’t count as a real victory.”
Li Xiaobai said cheerfully.
“Speaking of which, our Sixth Senior Brother has already gone back to the inn. Let’s hurry and split the money. If we’re late, he’ll definitely have swallowed it all!”
