"Next!"
Lufan's voice was steady and calm, without a hint of fluctuation, but combined with the power of his punch, it carried a shocking intensity!
People's gazes shifted back and forth between Yan Qi and Lufan, and for a moment, no one dared to step onto the stage.
It should be noted that Yan Qi was already considered a skilled practitioner among Loose Cultivators. While he may not have been at the very top, he was certainly at least in the upper tier. Yet, he could not withstand even one punch from Lufan!
They had failed to see Lufan's true strength.
It seemed that this young man, who dared to speak such words, truly had formidable abilities; this thought flashed through everyone's minds.
Even though they had anticipated that Lufan was not simple, witnessing it firsthand was another matter entirely. They were astonished by his true prowess, and suddenly, the Loose Cultivators were left in shock, creating an awkward silence in the arena.
With Yan Qi defeated in one move, anyone else stepping up would likely fare no better! Among the thousands of Loose Cultivators present, at least half entertained this thought.
Even the leaders of various families, who had previously appeared relaxed, began to adopt serious expressions.
From just this one punch, they had gleaned a great deal of information.
However, those present were ultimately individuals of strong will. The earlier shock from Lufan's display was merely due to how quickly the battle had concluded; it wouldn't instill fear in everyone indefinitely.
"I'll go!"
Soon enough, another person jumped onto the stage. This individual was small in stature and light on their feet, wielding two short daggers that indicated agility and skill.
As expected, once this person reached the stage, they began to circle around Lufan. Their form shifted and flickered as they moved, with the daggers held upside down and their hands concealed behind their back, resembling two venomous snakes poised to strike at any moment. Lufan felt a chilling aura wash over him.
The Scorpion Sting was the signature move of the Skinny Man, known for its ruthless and hard-to-defend nature. Countless opponents had fallen victim to this technique in the past.
The Skinny Man had observed Lufan's powerful punch earlier and guessed that he likely followed a straightforward martial arts style, which meant he might not excel in agility. Thus, he intended to leverage his own speed advantage to strike first and take him down.
The spectators quickly recognized the Skinny Man's intentions. Their eyes lit up, thinking it was a clever strategy; as long as they could identify Lufan's weaknesses and target them, defeating him shouldn't be too difficult.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that agility was one of Lufan's strongest skills. After enduring numerous life-and-death chases, he had nearly mastered the Lingbo Weibu technique to perfection.
Had they known that Lufan had once escaped from a martial arts master using his agility, they would have reconsidered their assumptions.
After circling around Lufan a few times without any reaction from him, the Skinny Man felt a surge of confidence, believing he had guessed correctly. Without hesitation, he darted behind Lufan and lunged forward, aiming for his back.
At that moment, his hidden hands sprang out like a scorpion's tail, transforming into two curved black lines that struck fiercely toward Lufan's lower back!
This attack was swift and vicious; if it landed solidly on Lufan, even with his Iron Shirt and the Horizontal Thirteen Guardians techniques, it would be ineffective against such a precise strike.
After all, no matter how strong one’s training was, they were still flesh and blood. When faced with the sharpness of weapons, there were always limitations.
Moreover, even if it were steel, under the full force of the Skinny Man at Third Rank strength, it would likely be pierced through.
"Wow!"
As the Skinny Man saw himself about to land a hit, the crowd gasped in excitement, feeling proud that their champion was about to succeed.
What do martial artists seek? The notion of reaching the pinnacle of martial arts is often exaggerated; that's a pursuit for true prodigies.
For most Martial Cultivators, especially Loose Cultivators, practicing martial arts is primarily about fame and fortune. Therefore, if he could be the first to succeed in this challenge—even if he ultimately couldn't hold onto the Rising Dragon Talisman—Skinny Man would still consider it worthwhile.
With this mindset, the Skinny Man showed no mercy; he unleashed a lethal move. Since they were on the Life and Death Platform, one must be prepared for death. Little ghost, blame your bad luck!
However, the sensation that Skinny Man imagined of piercing through the Human Body did not reach his hands; he only felt an emptiness in his grip, and in a blink, he had already lost sight of Lufan.
A wave of panic surged in Skinny Man's heart as he suddenly felt a tightness at the back of his neck; someone had seized his spine, rendering him completely immobile!
Unbeknownst to him, at some point, Lufan had circled behind Skinny Man, instantly subduing him.
The gasps from the crowd were not due to the ruthlessness of the frail man but because they watched in disbelief as Lufan, who seemed to have nowhere to evade, somehow used an unknown technique to appear right behind his opponent. With so many people present, no one could discern how he accomplished it!
With his spine held captive, the frail man’s eyes widened in fear as he found himself unable to move. Suddenly, he felt the grip on his spine tighten, sending him into a panic as he desperately wanted to plead for mercy.
Unfortunately, Lufan did not grant him that opportunity. He had seen clearly that this person had aimed for his vital points from the start, employing skilled techniques that suggested he was quite familiar with this method and had likely used it on others before.
For someone who intended to kill him, Lufan naturally showed no mercy. He didn’t even give him a chance to speak; with a twist and a shake of his right hand, he snapped Skinny Man's spine and dislocated most of his joints!
Once Skinny Man's spine was broken, his body stiffened, his gaze became vacant, and he collapsed to the ground like a dead snake, his life force slowly fading away.
Claw Technique: Bone Dislocation Hand!
Having chosen to kill, Lufan directly employed this fierce claw technique, not only breaking the frail man's spine but also delivering a powerful blow to his brain. Under such impact, the frail man was undoubtedly dead beyond recovery.
"Next!"
The arena fell silent, not because of Skinny Man's death but due to Lufan's displayed strength and ruthlessness. He did not seem like a mere youth; instead, he resembled a seasoned veteran who had navigated the underworld for years—decisive and cunning.
As for Skinny Man's death, no one found it inappropriate. What is the Life and Death Platform? Once you enter the Life and Death Platform, life and death are not to be blamed on others; this is not an empty saying but rather a direct summary of centuries of competition over the Shenglong Talisman.
Two capable Loose Cultivators could not withstand even one strike from Lufan, resulting in one dead and one severely injured. Yet still, no one managed to discern Lufan's true strength.
Because until now, Lufan appeared far too relaxed; the two who had stepped up could hardly force him to use his full power.
But the strength he displayed at that moment was already enough to crush most of the Loose Cultivators present.
Although some still believed they had extraordinary abilities and could fight against Lufan, no one was willing to step up as a test stone without knowing Lufan's true capabilities. As a result, the atmosphere grew tense once again.
Lufan waited for a while, but still no one came forward to challenge him, causing him to frown.
This was not what he had expected. He originally thought that for the sake of the Dragon Ascension Talisman, the Loose Cultivators would be fearless and continuously challenge him, taking advantage of the opportunity for a wheel battle.
However, it seemed he had been naive; these people all had their own agendas and were unwilling to act as stepping stones for others. It appeared they all wanted to be the fishermen instead.
This was not the outcome Lufan desired. He needed continuous battles to hone his Fist Technique and combat momentum, so he couldn't let the atmosphere cool down.
He decided to stoke the fire.
"What's wrong? Is no one brave enough to come up? Did I scare you with my earlier strength? No wonder people say Loose Cultivators lack guts!
Well then, in the upcoming battles, I will try my best to restrain my power to avoid accidentally killing you. With that said, you shouldn't have any reservations now, right?"
Lufan spoke sincerely, and with his serious expression, it almost seemed genuine.
Moreover, the effect was significant; he directly ignited the anger of thousands of Martial Cultivators!
