The life-and-death duel on stage is akin to a battlefield slaughter!

Of course, at any time, any place, in any era, there is no such thing as fairness!

Especially in this Ghost Market, filled with wealthy people who are bored with everyday brawls, this life-and-death fight is a rare spectacle!

When you're tired of eating pork, suddenly switching to lamb feels exciting!

The wealthy spectators placing bets have this mindset, eagerly watching the two men battling in the ring!

Liu Zixuan stood on the left side of the ring, while the man in the white mask was on the right!

The two locked eyes, not rushing to attack, as if testing each other! It seemed they were also testing each other's patience!

Liu Zixuan wore a very ordinary cartoon mask, while the unique mask of the man opposite made the scene all the more extraordinary!

"That kid with the cartoon mask, I don't think he'll make it. His arm muscles look big, but he seems immature, probably just in his early twenties. As for the man in the white mask, I think he has a high chance of winning. Just look at the way he's standing—his posture exudes dominance."

"Yeah, I think so too, I'm betting on him to win, fifty thousand!"

"Look at you being so stingy with such an obvious setup, only fifty thousand? I'm going with two hundred thousand!"

"I'm putting down ten thousand on both sides, just in case that cartoon mask kid wins!"

For a while, many people started discussing and taking out checks to start betting.

Most of them have seen the world, and their ability to judge people is not small either.

In their view, Liu Zixuan looks a bit immature and seems very young. If it were a regular fight, his youthful vigor might win, but in this life-and-death battle, young people often have more empty tricks!

On the other hand, the man in the white mask has an extraordinary aura, and his imposing stance makes everyone feel he has a higher chance of winning!

Aside from some small bets or those just playing around, most people placed significant sums, mostly betting on the man in the white mask!

In a corner of the crowd, a man wearing a Tang Monk mask chuckled: "Look at this scene, it's truly exciting."

"Master, how can you still be so happy!" said the man wearing a Pigsy mask beside him, in a bad mood.

These two were none other than Crazy Zhou and Zhao Yi.

Crazy Zhou patted Zhao Yi: "Nonsense, how can I not be happy with so much money involved? The white mask man's side has at least ten million on it. If my son-in-law wins, wouldn't we hit the jackpot!"

"Uh..." Zhao Yi was suddenly at a loss for words. It turned out Crazy Zhou wasn't worried about Liu Zixuan at all but was eyeing the money!

Crazy Zhou took out a check: "Go, put it on my son-in-law!"

"Holy crap!"

Upon seeing the amount on the check, Zhao Yi was shocked and muttered in disbelief: "Five hundred thousand! Master, you're a real mogul!"

"Stop the nonsense, hurry up. The more I bet, the more I get in return!"

"What if Brother Xuan loses?"

"Screw you!" Crazy Zhou kicked him: "Hurry up and knock on wood! If you say such unlucky words again, I'll kick you out of the sect!"

Zhao Yi was exasperated; having such an unreliable master was truly his fate!

Fortunately, Crazy Zhou didn't go against his usual self by betting on the white mask man. Otherwise, if Liu Zixuan found out, Crazy Zhou would be done!

After Zhao Yi put the money in, he happened to meet Zhou Nian and led her over to Crazy Zhou.

The white mask man looked at the pile of checks on his side, then at the sparse ones on Liu Zixuan's side, and sneered: "Do you think this duel is still meaningful?"

"Of course, it is. So many people are betting on you and not on me. If I win, wouldn't I make enough money to live lavishly for a lifetime?" Liu Zixuan replied tauntingly.

"I really wonder if you'll still be able to laugh later!"

The white mask man slightly moved his right foot: "Make your move, so you can't say I'm bullying you!"

Liu Zixuan calmly took two steps forward, beckoning with his finger at the white mask man: "Come on, I'll stand still and let you have a few shots!"

"Wow, this kid is too arrogant!"

"He's young, obviously oblivious to how big the world is!"

"Beat him to death, go on, beat him to death quickly!"

"Yeah, we placed a lot of money on you, so go quickly and beat him to death!"

The white mask man was momentarily stunned by Liu Zixuan's words, but at the same time, those who bet were getting anxious!

They didn't care who won; they just wanted to see a fierce fight!

The face under the white mask twisted into a vicious expression, and he suddenly attacked Liu Zixuan.

His techniques were quite impressive. As he approached Liu Zixuan, his steps paused, and his right fist thrust out fiercely, mighty as a tiger, aiming straight for Liu Zixuan's face.

Pfft!

Everyone held their breath, watching as the fist was about to land on Liu Zixuan's face. With this blow, it would surely draw blood!

However, everyone was shocked!

Because they saw Liu Zixuan standing there, but that punch from close range missed!

Yes, it punched into thin air!

"How...how is that possible!"

The white mask man stood frozen in place, his fist still outstretched and unretracted.

He seemed petrified!

Liu Zixuan whispered playfully in his ear: "Did you really think learning a few techniques from Kongtong Fist would make you invincible?"

"How...how do you know?"

"Because..." Liu Zixuan slowly turned his head towards the white mask man, raised his right hand slowly, and with a seemingly casual swing, the white mask man was sent flying!

Thud!

The white mask man fell to the ground, and Liu Zixuan teased with a smile: "Because those techniques are so trashy that even in martial arts TV dramas, they look bad!"

Pff!

The white mask man spat out a mouthful of blood and lay on the ground, motionless, unsure if he was dead or alive!

At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, becoming deadly silent!

Everyone was dumbfounded, expecting a life-and-death duel to be a struggle to the bitter end. But unexpectedly, the fight was over in an instant!

In other words, Liu Zixuan defeated the white mask man with just a swing of his hand!

A victory in one second!

This was an outcome no one could accept!

But Liu Zixuan just grinned, walked over to the pile of checks, looked at the strings of numbers, and laughed at the crowd: "Thanks, everyone, I was running out of instant noodles, and you've just bought me a stash!"

ps: I'm really touched. After learning about Ye Zi's tenosynovitis, many friends helped in finding remedies. Special thanks to that brother with the nickname "what," I've already asked the doctor about the medications you mentioned and got one of them. We'll try it out first. We are one loving family!
