Lu Chengfeng’s head was spinning from the slap, and he fell backwards onto his butt. The moment he stood up, he saw stars, and there was a ringing noise in his ears. His mind was foggy, as if his thoughts were all stuck together with glue. His legs shook and he fell to the ground again, unable to get up for a long time. Wei Zhixuan’s attack had used all his strength, and the aftereffects of it were far from pleasant.
Even Wei Zhixuan himself was stunned. He knew that Lu Chengfeng was not weak and was almost on par with himself. Moreover, his move just now was exquisite, and there had to be a trick behind it. He didn’t expect that the blow he sent out would work and slap the other party to the ground. It was so simple and unexpected that even he himself couldn’t believe it.
After recovering from the surprise, Wei Zhixuan laughed maniacally. “Hahahaha! So this is the best the Golden Pill Sect’s Su family has to offer! With such pathetic abilities, you actually dare pretend to be an expert in front of Wei Zhixuan. If it wasn’t for me being merciful, I would have killed you with a single slap.” Wei Zhixuan had fought countless people in his life but this was the first time he had won with such a clean victory, so it was hard to not be smug.
Ling Chuxi, Su Yizhi and the rest looked at Lu Chengfeng who stood up shakily, seemingly unable to distinguish north, south, east, and west. They shook their heads sympathetically. That was the problem with being a faker!
“Have you finished laughing?” Ling Chuxi glanced at Wei Zhixuan and asked bluntly.
“Why? Are you all not convinced?” With Wei Zhixuan’s win, his confidence had shot up, and he gave Ling Chuxi a disdainful look.
“You seem to have forgotten—he is not a member of the Golden Pill Sect,” Ling Chuxi pointed out.
Duan Feiyu quietly wiped off his sweat, secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, Lu Chengfeng hadn’t declared his family origins like in the past, or else the Celestial Sect’s reputation would have been damaged. Then again, if Lu Chengfeng had mentioned his family name, perhaps Wei Zhixuan wouldn’t have dared to make a move. After all, the Lu family lineage had been regarded as a famous household in the Sacred Realm of Sects for hundreds of years.
“Well, then pick someone from the Golden Pill Sect to fight me. If you lose, you all have to obediently hand over seventy percent of the crystal mine.” Wei Zhixuan didn’t take the Su family too seriously. His confidence was sky high and he was more arrogant than ever now. If this went public, openly snatching the mine didn’t seem right, but with a cover up like this, it would be a different story. Wei Zhixuan raised his eyebrows. At any rate, he was still the sect master of the Jade Peak Sect, and needed to maintain his reputation.
“And what if you lose?” Ling Chuxi asked coolly.
Lan Xinyu clearly knew that Ling Chuxi was digging a pit and waiting for her opponent to stupidly jump in. The result was quite predictable.
“The few of you think you can defeat me?” Wei Zhixuan snorted mockingly.
“Don’t be so full of yourself. What if you accidentally get a seizure while fighting and lose?” Ling Chuxi frowned slightly and asked in dismay.
“Seizure? You’re the one who’ll get a seizure! Why would I ever get something like that?” Wei Zhixuan demanded angrily.
“I wouldn’t know… just saying that maybe you have a medical condition you don’t know about. Anyway, since we have bet seventy percent of our crystal mine, isn’t it only fair if you wager something too?” Ling Chuxi asked innocently. True to her nature, she was quietly digging the pit deeper. It seemed that the other party was still reluctant to blatantly snatch and rob, because if they did, it would give others the excuse to rob them back as well.
