Chapter 184 Li Yang? Senior, please uphold justice.
"You've mistaken me for someone else?"
The arrogant expression on Li Yang's face froze for a moment.
The taunts behind him, who were ready to unleash a barrage of sarcastic remarks, now found themselves stuck in their throats, unable to utter a sound.
Admitting a mistake?
Are you fucking kidding me?
The entire city's media outlets have practically printed your face on flyers, and you're telling me you've admitted your mistake?
The underling who had just whispered the secret in Li Yang's ear was now deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down his face.
He instinctively took a step back, afraid that Yang Ge's anger would strike him first.
"You're not Chen Yifan?"
Li Yang's voice turned cold, and a dangerous glint flickered in his narrowed eyes.
"That's right, I'm not."
Chen Yifan answered without the slightest hesitation, his tone frank, as if stating a perfectly obvious fact.
Then, with a perfectly timed look of confusion, he tilted his head, looked at Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu beside him, and asked in return:
"Who is Chen Yifan? Is he famous?"
"Could it be... that I look a lot like him?"
Wang Fugui's abs twitched as he watched Chen Yifan spouting nonsense with such a straight face; he almost burst out laughing on the spot.
He forcibly turned his head to the side, using his trembling shoulders to cover up his embarrassment.
Lin Xiaoyu simply blinked her clear eyes.
She obediently shrank further behind Chen Yifan.
She perfectly portrayed an innocent girl who was frightened by being harassed by a stranger.
puff.
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but laugh.
No one present was a fool.
Judging from the fat guy next to him who was holding it in so hard he was almost internally injured, this guy was clearly just messing with him.
That laugh, like a match, instantly ignited Li Yang's pride.
He felt his cheeks burning, not from shame, but from anger.
Are you kidding me?
A country bumpkin, a thief who got lucky, a good-for-nothing who hasn't even reached the second job advancement.
How dare they openly mock Li Yang in front of hundreds of thousands of people in such an absurd way?!
"You're asking for it!"
The three words, with a metallic, scraping quality, were spat out one by one from between Li Yang's teeth.
Before he finished speaking, a surge of scorching spiritual energy shot into the sky!
Countless crimson sparks appeared out of nowhere in the air, and the rubble beneath his feet was scorched by the high temperature, making a sizzling sound and quickly turning black.
At Lv.51, the aura of the "Flame Arbiter" swept across the battlefield without reservation!
"I don't care if your name is Chen Yifan or Wang Ergou!"
Li Yang's voice was hoarse, and the intense heat emanating from his body caused visible ripples in the air.
"Today, I'm going to beat that face of yours to a pulp!"
Seeing this, his henchmen not only did not try to stop him, but instead revealed cruel and excited grins.
Yang Ge is serious now.
That kid's dead meat!
Seeing the aura that his opponent was unleashing, Chen Yifan understood.
The level of refinement of this energy far surpasses that of ordinary intermediate professionals, and is almost comparable to experts above level 60.
Is this the foundation of the Li family in Longdu?
As expected, the person Wang Qingyun specifically reminded was no ordinary person.
Wang Fugui, standing to the side, ignored all of this. A huge shield appeared out of thin air and slammed heavily to the ground with a thud, tightly protecting Chen Yifan and Lin Xiaoyu behind him.
"If you want to mess with my brothers, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
"Okay, okay!"
Li Yang laughed in extreme anger, his face contorted with rage.
"I don't know where you get the audacity to publicly humiliate the Li family of Longdu!"
"Today, none of you will leave here alive!"
next second.
A highly concentrated crimson fireball, the size of a human head, took shape in his palm!
The intense heat caused electric arcs to jump across the surface of the fireball, producing a piercing crackling sound.
He showed no mercy with this attack, aiming directly at Chen Yifan's head!
The surrounding professionals gasped in surprise and quickly retreated, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
Wang Fugui's eyes turned bloodshot, and he let out a roar, his muscles bulging as he prepared to activate the shield's strongest defensive skill to withstand the attack.
But just as the fireball left his hand—
A volume loud enough for everyone in the room to hear suddenly exploded in the deathly silent basin.
"Senior Liu!"
Chen Yifan held his head high, not even glancing at the rapidly approaching fireball.
His gaze swept over everyone, like a precisely guided arrow, shooting straight at the stone-carved figure in the distance!
"This person blatantly violated your rules by committing a crime in public before the entrance was opened!"
"Please, senior, uphold justice for us!"
His voice was loud, clear, and extremely fast, filled with the grief and indignation of the oppressed and absolute trust in the rule-makers.
The moment the words fell.
The fireball that was originally powerful enough to shatter Chen Yifan's head vanished into thin air.
It's as if it never existed.
Suddenly, it was as if an invisible hand had forcibly twisted the necks of everyone present.
All eyes were forcibly drawn to Liu Cang.
Even Li Yang, whose hand was raised high in preparation for his second strike, froze in mid-air due to this sudden turn of events.
Senior Liu?
What, Senior Liu?
He arrived late, but with a grand entrance.
They had no idea what had happened before.
He had no idea what kind of "senior" could be found in this godforsaken place that would warrant his attention.
But he's not blind.
His own attack vanished into thin air.
The undisguised shock and...sympathy on the faces of those around them?
The reactions of those high-level professionals in the distance made him even more uneasy.
Zhou Mu's hand, gripping the giant axe, trembled slightly.
Liu Shen, the "ghostly figure," wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
An extreme chill suddenly exploded from his tailbone, rushing straight to the top of his head!
He turned his head stiffly, inch by inch.
When his gaze, following everyone else's, finally landed on the withered old man sitting cross-legged on the boulder, a long black cloth object lying across his lap, and who was completely lifeless—
Li Yang felt his heart being gripped tightly by a large, cold hand, almost stopping its beating.
That face...
His henchmen's legs buckled, and they almost knelt on the ground.
It’s over.
Just then, the old man who had been resting with his eyes closed slowly opened them.
It lacked any earth-shattering grandeur.
There was no earth-shattering pressure.
Liu Cang simply opened his eyes calmly, his cloudy gaze turning towards Li Yang, giving him a faint look.
Just one glance.
The second fireball that Li Yang was about to condense in his palm was like a soap bubble that had been popped.
With a "poof" sound.
It vanished without a trace.
Li Yang was struck dumb, frozen in place, too afraid to move.
Cold sweat instantly soaked his back, sliding down his spine.
Liu...Liu Cang? !
What is he doing here?!
My second uncle didn't say anything!
The entire basin was deathly silent.
Hundreds of thousands of people, even the sound of their breathing has completely disappeared.
All eyes were focused on this dramatic scene, filled with schadenfreude, pity, and horror.
"I...I..."
Li Yang's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single complete word.
He wanted to explain, to beg for mercy, but under the gaze of those calm, still eyes, he felt his soul freeze.
Chen Yifan stood there, his grief and indignation perfectly concealed, replaced by a sense of relief that justice had been served.
He bowed deeply in the direction of Liu Cang.
"Thank you for your help, senior."
This bow cemented Li Yang's place on the pillar of shame as a "ruler."
Liu Cang shifted his gaze from Li Yang to Chen Yifan's face.
A faint, almost imperceptible smile seemed to flicker in his cloudy eyes.
"Did he strike first?"
Liu Cang's hoarse voice rang out.
"Yes."
Chen Yifan answered decisively.
Liu Cang nodded and asked no further questions.
He looked at Li Yang again, his gaze as if he were looking at a lifeless object.
"What was the first point I mentioned?"
Li Yang's body trembled violently, and his face turned as pale as a dead man.
He had no idea what the first rule was!
Just as he was stammering and unable to speak, Chen Yifan spoke up for him.
"Senior, you said that any private fights are prohibited before the entrance opens."
Chen Yifan's voice was not loud, but every word was clear, as if he were proclaiming a verdict.
"Those who violate this rule..."
"die!"
That last word seemed to drain all of Li Yang's strength.
He could no longer hold on, his knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ground with a "thud".
He may disregard Chen Yifan, but he cannot disregard Liu Cang's rules!
Just then, a well-informed person in the crowd pointed at Li Yang, who was kneeling on the ground, and dropped a bombshell in a trembling voice:
"The Li family of Longdu... behind him is the Li family of Longdu! The 'Dog' among the contemporary guardians of the twelve zodiac animals comes from the Li family!"
