"I don’t care if you’re a disciple of Wu Shanshui or Wu Fenghuo. Since you attacked Lei Tingjun, I have no choice but to intervene! Moreover, I am determined to obtain the Five Elements Stone today. If you intend to help Gu Shanhe, then you’ll have to get through me!" Yang Qi said to Wu Yonggui indifferently.

Wu Shanshui was indeed fearsome, but Yang Qi didn’t need to take this Wu Yonggui too seriously.

Wu Yonggui looked at Yang Qi and couldn’t help but laugh. With his experience, it was obvious that Yang Qi didn’t know Martial Arts; he was nothing compared to a Martial Arts Overlord like himself. He probably couldn’t even defeat a novice Outer Strength Martial Artist. But strangely, when Yang Qi had made his move earlier, he had felt a strong sense of danger. Could it have been an illusion? He was a bit puzzled.

Hmph, I’ll know once we fight. In any case, whether this kid knows Martial Arts or not, since he dares to oppose me, he must die! Wu Yonggui’s expression darkened, his eyes revealing a ruthless killing intent. He wanted to fight his way back into Dragon Country on behalf of his master, Wu Shanshui, so it was only natural that he would probe the foundations of Dragon Country’s Martial Artists.

Tang Fei, Jiang Shan, and the others were thrilled. They hadn’t expected Yang Qi to actively court death, but it was exactly what they wanted.

Jin Zizhen, on the other hand, was nervous. Yang Qi’s ability to defeat Er Tai proved he had some skill, but this Wu Yonggui was no ordinary person. Can he really win? I’m extremely worried. What if Yang Qi has the ability to save my daughter but gets killed by Wu Yonggui here? Wouldn’t that be a terrible loss? He took a deep breath, his mind made up. Even if it meant breaking the rules, he would intervene the moment he saw Yang Qi was outmatched. Yang Qi cannot be allowed to die.

Ye Feng also prepared to make a move. No matter what, I have to repay my debt to Yang Qi. I’m not the type of person who likes to owe favors.

Chen Baixiang was also starting to feel nervous. She had always thought Yang Qi was powerful, but after witnessing Wu Yonggui’s methods, she finally understood that there was always someone stronger. The abilities of the people in this world are truly beyond what an ordinary person like me can imagine.

However, there was another group who couldn’t wait for Yang Qi to die. These were the people who had been forced to kneel and slap their own faces for insulting him earlier. They wished for nothing more than for Wu Yonggui to kill Yang Qi, and they couldn’t care less about what crimes Wu Yonggui had committed. By this point, both men had stepped onto the stage.

"Kid, I don’t know what tricks you have up your sleeve," Wu Yonggui sneered, "but since you dared to provoke me, I won’t be showing any mercy."

Facing the Martial Arts Overlord who had almost defeated Lei Tingjun with a single blow, Yang Qi remained completely confident. "I’m not expecting any mercy from you. As for you, it’s not too late to surrender and face justice. Once we really start fighting, I might not be able to control my strength. It wouldn’t be very fun if I accidentally killed you."

"Arrogant!" Wu Yonggui felt underestimated and was clearly displeased.

"No need to get angry. As a Martial Arts Overlord, you are indeed strong, but compared to me, you don’t amount to much. I just killed a Martial Arts Overlord not too long ago, and he was quite a bit stronger than you are. You’ve only just entered this level, while the man I’m referring to had been exploring the Martial Arts Overlord realm for over a decade. You two aren’t in the same league. So, my advice is for your own good," Yang Qi replied, still perfectly calm.

"Hahahaha, you sure know how to sing your own praises," Wu Yonggui roared with laughter.

Below the stage, Jiang Shan sneered, "Yang Qi, others might not know your background, but I do! A few months ago, you were just a company owner who had never touched Martial Arts. After your company went bankrupt and your wife ran off with another man, you think you suddenly stumbled upon some peerless Secret Book and became an unmatched master in just a few months? How laughable!"

"Master Wu, kill this arrogant, ignorant trash!" Tang Fei bellowed.

Yang Qi glanced at the pair indifferently, a cruel sneer touching his lips. Normally, he wouldn’t bother with such small fry. But these two were truly annoying. Fine, I’ll find some time to deal with them.

Across from him, Wu Yonggui had already unleashed a terrifying aura. An energy that flowed like water began to circulate over the surface of his body. As he stood there, he resembled a great mountain encircled by a river. His stance was incredibly stable, yet his upper body seemed supple and unpredictable—a very peculiar harmony.

This must be the legendary Mountain and Water Skill. The Martial Arts of the secular world do have their merits. Interesting. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"The Mountain and Water Skill! It seems Wu Yonggui is truly treating Mr. Yang as an unmatched master. Otherwise, he would never use his trump card technique," Ye Feng said with a frown, looking at Lei Tingjun beside him.

Lei Tingjun also wore a solemn expression. Even though he knew that Yang Qi, as Yang Qingshan, had killed Mitsuhide Kamishiro, he still felt tense seeing the Mountain and Water Skill. For a Martial Artist, a good Cultivation Technique could increase their combat power by a large margin, sometimes even several times over. That was the benefit of a powerful Cultivation Technique.

Elsewhere, Chen Baixiang went to Jin Zizhen’s side. "Uncle Jin, is that Mountain and Water Skill really so powerful?"

"Powerful? Of course, it’s powerful! It can make one’s foundation as solid as a mountain, granting boundless strength. At the same time, it makes one’s movements incredibly supple and elusive, much like Taiji," Jin Zizhen sighed. "It’s one of the three top-tier Cultivation Techniques of the Sun and Moon Sect. I’m afraid Mr. Yang is in for some trouble!"

"Then what should we do?" Chen Baixiang’s face fell.

"Don’t worry," Jin Zizhen said. "If Mr. Yang is really in trouble, I’ll step in. After all, his life is tied to my daughter’s!"

"That’s a relief!" Chen Baixiang finally sighed, relieved.

In truth, it wasn’t just Jin Zizhen; no one in the crowd was optimistic about Yang Qi’s chances. After all, he didn’t look like someone who had ever practiced Martial Arts. Even though he had defeated Er Tai, many thought it must have been a fluke. Or perhaps Er Tai was simply too weak? In any case, they kept finding excuses to deny Yang Qi’s strength.

However, at that moment, the situation in the arena changed. Wu Yonggui initiated the attack. His boxing style was incredibly supple and fluid, capable of striking an enemy from any angle without losing any power. The problem was, not one of his terrifying punches managed to hit Yang Qi. Like a leaf in the wind, Yang Qi swayed left and right with Wu Yonggui’s arms, precisely evading every single attack.

Wu Yonggui was stunned. This is impossible! He hadn’t even used this attack against Lei Tingjun, deeming it unnecessary. He had only unleashed it now because he was wary of Yang Qi, yet it failed to hit its target. This filled him with a sense of powerlessness, and fear began to creep into his heart.

"Nothing is impossible," Yang Qi said with a faint smile. "You might be skilled, but in front of me, you’re just so-so."
