?64: Chapter 64: The Battle Begins Early 64: Chapter 64: The Battle Begins Early In the courtyard behind the shop, Li Tianxiao and others set up seven or eight banquet tables, dozens of people sitting together drinking.

    Everyone knew Ah Man, and Long Yan specifically introduced Lingxi to them.

    Li Tianxiao and the others were in awe of Lingxi and secretly admired Long Yan’s good fortune.

    Lingxi was very innocent and it was her first time experiencing such a scene, so she felt a bit overwhelmed but still very happy.

    Especially when Li Tianxiao and others mentioned Long Yan’s deeds, Long Yan’s figure in her heart gradually became more prominent.

    Ah Man was honest and did not speak much, but he also enjoyed drinking with everyone.

    From Li Tianxiao, it was learned that after Qin Wuque returned from Black Sha City, his status in the palace had risen greatly.

    With the support of the Empress, he was now almost on par with Qin Wudi.

    Li Tianxiao and the others had originally left the Imperial City of Tianwu, but they were invited back by Qin Wuque, who also opened a shop for them, exclusively for buying and selling demon pills.

    In fact, Long Yan did not know that Qin Wuque’s ability to compete with Qin Wudi was almost entirely due to him.

    His Reversed Sun Dan had cured Qin Wuque’s mother’s illness, naturally securing the throne of the harem, and thus giving Qin Wuque a solid backing.

    In addition, after the battle in Black Sha City, Qin Wuque captured Blood Sha and Qi Sha in just a few days on Langya Mountain, earning everyone’s admiration.

    Although the Ministry of Punishment didn’t extort the mastermind Qin Wudi from Blood Sha and Qi Sha, Qin Tianshi knew the truth, making the Emperor even more favorably disposed towards Qin Wuque.

    “Boom!”

    Just as everyone was drinking merrily, suddenly, the sound of the shop door being violently broken open rang out.

    “Not good, someone is causing trouble.”

    Li Tianxiao stood up, looking unhappy.

    Having a shop in a prime location of the Imperial City was entirely dependent on Qin Wuque, but even Qin Wuque couldn’t always watch over it, so people often came around causing trouble.

    “Let’s go and see who it is looking for death.”

    Long Yan stood up and left the courtyard with Li Tianxiao.

    When Long Yan walked into the store, there were already more than a dozen people waiting inside, all looking arrogant.

    The leader was a youth, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a clean-shaven face and dressed in a white jade robe.

    The others were dressed like servants, the lowest being Spiritual Martial Level Six, and two were Earth Martial Realm, obviously the bodyguards of the white-clothed youth.

    “Bai Wuxia, it’s you!”

    Li Tianxiao’s face changed.

    Since he had been in the Imperial City of Tianwu for a while, he naturally knew Bai Wuxia.

    “Bai Wuxia.”

    Long Yan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

    He still had a life-and-death duel with Bai Wuxia, but now it seemed that the duel had already lost its meaning.

    “Are you Long Yan?”

    Bai Wuxia glanced at Li Tianxiao and then turned his eyes to Long Yan, a trace of killing intent flashing in his cold gaze.

    “Yes, I am Long Yan.”

    Long Yan said, “Apologize to my brothers, compensate for all the losses, and I’ll let you live until the life-and-death duel.”

    Long Yan’s tone was cold, and he was already intent on killing.

    “Brother Long Yan, don’t be impulsive.”

    Li Tianxiao’s face changed and he whispered to Long Yan, “Bai Wuxia has recently broken through to Earth Martial Fifth Level and has replaced the sixteenth place in the Dragon-Tiger List.”

    “Dragon-Tiger List Sixteenth?”

    Long Yan chuckled, the corner of his mouth curling up in disdain.

    Even Gong Baiyu, ranked 13th in the Dragon and Tiger List, had died in his hands, making Bai Wuxia no match for him.

    “Long Yan, you are indeed arrogant, but arrogance requires capital!”

    Bai Wuxia said coldly.

    At that moment, he noticed Lingxi behind Long Yan, and his gaze couldn’t be moved away, with a blatant hint of lust appearing on his face.

    “What a gorgeous girl!

    Only a girl like her is worthy of me, Bai Wuxia.”

    Bai Wuxia swallowed his saliva and secretly decided that he must get Lingxi.

    However, he didn’t know that it was because of this wicked thought that his fate would be miserable.

    “Bai Wuxia, you’re dead!”

    Long Yan’s cold gaze sentenced Bai Wuxia to death.

    Today, even if the Heavenly Father comes, he won’t be able to save Bai Wuxia!

    “What a big tone!”

    Bai Wuxia sneered coldly and said in a sinister voice, “Long Yan, I came today to tell you that you have two months left to live, cherish it.”

    One month had passed since the fight to the death was scheduled.

    If it weren’t for the fact that the duel’s date was set by Qin Tianshi himself, Bai Wuxia would want to kill Long Yan right now.

    “Bai Wuxia, two months is too long.

    We might as well fight today.”

    Long Yan’s poisonous gaze was locked on Bai Wuxia, with a murderous intent dancing in his pupils.

    “If you want to die, don’t blame me!”

    The sneer on Bai Wuxia’s face grew stronger.

    He had been waiting for Long Yan to say this.

    Then, Bai Wuxia turned to face the crowd and deliberately spoke loudly, “You all heard it.

    This is Long Yan voluntarily advancing the duel.

    If he dies in my hands, it’s not my fault.”

    “Tsk, this kid doesn’t know how to live, daring to challenge our young master?”

    “Exactly, our young master is ranked 16th in the Dragon-Tiger List, crushing him is even easier than crushing a weak chicken.

    Just wait for the show.”

    “That’s the result of offending the Bai family, doomed to a dead end sooner or later.”

    The guards behind Bai Wuxia all showed disdainful expressions.

    They had witnessed Bai Wuxia’s strength, and there was no doubt that Long Yan would be defeated.

    “Damn it, is Long Yan looking for death?

    He’s actually advancing the life-and-death battle!”

    “This guy is too arrogant, he must not know Bai Wuxia’s strength, young people are always impulsive.”

    “Could it be that he thinks the Crown Prince will protect him, and Bai Wuxia won’t dare to kill him for real?”

    ...

    At this moment, many people had gathered outside the store, showing disbelief upon hearing about Long Yan’s life-and-death battle against Bai Wuxia.

    Many people thought Long Yan was crazy.

    “Brother Long Yan, don’t be impulsive.

    Endure for a while and everything will be fine.

    Step back and the sky’s the limit.

    You’re not Bai Wuxia’s opponent yet.”

    Li Tianxiao’s heart was burning with anxiety, hating that his own strength was only at Spiritual Martial Level 9, and not a match for Bai Wuxia.

    “Yes, Brother Long Yan, don’t be impulsive.

    Let the Crown Prince step in.

    Bai Wuxia won’t dare to mess around in front of His Royal Highness.”

    The others also began to persuade Long Yan, hoping nothing would happen to him.

    Only Ah Man and Fat Cat remained calm, not worried at all, fully aware of Long Yan’s strength.

    “I wonder if this man will be even worse off than Little Tiger?”

    Lingxi’s beautiful eyes twinkled, and her gaze fell on Bai Wuxia, silently guessing the scene that was about to unfold.

    “I’ve decided.

    You don’t need to say anything else.”

    Long Yan waved his hand to interrupt Li Tianxiao and the others.

    “This...”

    Hearing this, everyone closed their mouths, knowing Long Yan’s temper.
