After launching dozens of attacks, Long Yang was actually unable to defeat Lu Xuan, and every move was countered. Long Yang was already thoroughly enraged. The so-called three-move agreement had long been forgotten, and now he only wanted to quickly tear Lu Xuan apart!
Unfortunately, the Dragon Family's Dragon Seizing Hands were merely a low-grade Yellow-level martial technique, while Lu Xuan's Blink Sword Technique was a high-grade Yellow-level technique, two levels higher than the Dragon Seizing Hands. Even though Lu Xuan was using the basic Long Fist to execute the secrets of the Blink Sword Technique, it was still beyond Long Yang's ability to resist.
After connecting with Long Yang for dozens of moves, Lu Xuan instantly felt a deeper understanding of the Blink Sword Technique. In the process of martial arts practice, no matter how hard he trained, it could not compare to the gains from actual combat. This was also why Lu Xuan used Long Yang to practice.
"It's time to end this!" Lu Xuan said softly, forcing Long Yang back with a punch.
However, Long Yang ignored everything and continued to charge forward. This time, Lu Xuan no longer held back.
Previously, Lu Xuan would only force Long Yang back and then stop attacking. But this time, he launched two punches simultaneously. One punch broke Long Yang's Dragon Seizing Hands, and the other landed solidly on Long Yang's chest!
A muffled sound was heard, and Long Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward and landing ten meters away with a thud.
"You lost!" Lu Xuan said calmly, though his heart was pounding. Just a few days ago, he never would have thought he could defeat Long Yang in public, and even more so, in a cross-level battle, defeating a Fourth Stage Body Tempering practitioner with a Third Stage Body Tempering level!
As Long Yang spat blood and fell to the ground, the martial arts duel was finally declared over. The crowd had to reluctantly leave the scene of Lu Xuan's exquisite boxing, hoping that Long Yang would have held out longer so they could observe more of Lu Xuan's techniques.
This battle was full of twists. From the moment Long Yang used his martial technique, who would have thought the outcome would be like this? Long Yang, who possessed a martial technique, not only failed to defeat Lu Xuan in three moves but was repeatedly countered, using a basic fist technique to suppress a practitioner one level higher than himself.
"Wow, Chenxi, he's so amazing! Didn't you say that the young rascal had a good chance of winning? This time you really misjudged it," Lin Xinyi said excitedly, as if she had won rather than Lu Xuan.
Xia Chenxi's face turned slightly red. Lin Xinyi was right; she hadn't expected Lu Xuan to bring such a big surprise.
"Let's go, the duel is over, and we still need to go shopping," Xia Chenxi turned to head back to the carriage. Although Lu Xuan had surprised her, with her young age and Sixth Stage Body Tempering level, she wasn't overly concerned about a Third Stage Body Tempering peer.
"Don't rush, the young rascal hasn't given the bet yet. Let's watch and then leave," Lin Xinyi quickly held back Xia Chenxi.
Hearing this, Xia Chenxi smiled slightly. The bet Lu Xuan proposed was just 200 gold pieces. When had Miss Lin ever cared about such a small amount? Even if it were ten times that, Lin Xinyi wouldn't think much of it.
Thinking about this, Xia Chenxi couldn't help but tease, "Xinyi, you're so concerned. Could it be that you've taken a fancy to this young man named Lu Xuan? Hmm, he does look quite handsome."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Xinyi's face turned red, showing a hint of shyness. She playfully punched Xia Chenxi a couple of times. However, after Xia Chenxi said this, she looked up at Lu Xuan on the stage again and felt a slight stir in her heart.
"You lost. According to the bet, 200 gold pieces, hand them over," Lu Xuan said to Long Yang. With so many martial artists as witnesses, he wasn't afraid that Long Yang would renege on the deal.
"200 gold pieces?" Long Yang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled strangely. "It's just 200 gold pieces, here you go!"
As he spoke, Long Yang slowly raised his right hand, as if preparing to reach into his pocket.
Seeing that Long Yang didn't seem to be reneging, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about the 200 gold pieces he would soon receive, which would allow him to buy the Blood of the Fierce Wolf and refine the Frenzy Charm, Lu Xuan became excited. With the initial capital, he could become an Enchanter, and then he could eat as many pills as he wanted.
Just as Lu Xuan was lost in thought, a sudden cry of alarm came!
"Be careful!"
"Despicable!"
"Shameless!"
Lu Xuan instantly snapped to attention, and his entire body's hair stood on end!
He saw dozens of sharp steel needles flying rapidly toward him!
The blue tint on the needles indicated they were poisoned!
Long Yang had not been reaching for money; he had been distracting Lu Xuan's attention to launch a hidden weapon.
These dozens of steel needles were shot from Long Yang's folding fan. The reason Long Yang always carried the fan was that it was his ultimate trump card!
Even without the poison, any martial artist below the Sixth Stage Body Tempering level would die if hit by the needles!
Long Yang had already lost all his dignity in the battle with Lu Xuan and harbored deep hatred. He wouldn't pay the bet honestly; the bet was a small matter, but his dignity was a big one.
Since they were still on the stage, even if Long Yang killed Lu Xuan, no one would hold him responsible. Even if he faced public condemnation, Long Yang had to eliminate Lu Xuan; he had to vent this anger!
Seeing the needles fly out, Long Yang burst into laughter. "So what if you're strong? If your fists are so powerful, try blocking these poisoned needles with your fists!"
The moment Long Yang released the poisoned needles, Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi saw it. They never imagined that there could be such a shameless person. Even after losing, he would use hidden weapons to harm others, and even try to kill them!
The speed of the poisoned needles was too fast, and Xia Chenxi was too far away to help Lu Xuan intercept them. She could only watch helplessly as the needles shot toward Lu Xuan, who was less than ten meters away.
Lin Xinyi's face turned pale. She usually interacted with genteel people and never imagined there could be such a despicable person. Moreover, she had just developed a slight liking for Lu Xuan, but now she could only watch helplessly as he was hit by the poisoned needles, with no way to help.
Many martial artists had already closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight. A genius who could fight across levels was about to be destroyed, which was truly a pity. In this situation, Long Yang's shrill and derisive laughter sounded particularly grating and unpleasant.
And at this critical moment, when everyone thought Lu Xuan was doomed, Lu Xuan moved!
