73: Chapter 73 Enough is enough!

"Why?" Lin Feng was stunned!

Ye Fan gave a sinister smile and continued to lower his voice, "That is because... you!"

"Because of me?" Upon hearing this, Lin Feng frowned slightly and said with a dark face, "I ask myself, I have never offended you before. Why are you doing this?"

"Hmph, you may not have offended me, but you offended our Fengyun Martial Arts Hall!" Ye Fan said with a sneer, "Do you still remember the last demon-slaying operation?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's heart shook!

He immediately understood why Ye Fan was doing this.

"Are you doing this to avenge Wang Ao and Du Xing?" Lin Feng asked sternly, his face as dark as water.

"Haha, smart!" Ye Fan nodded and continued, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Because you killed Wang Ao and Du Xing, before the Grand Competition began, my master secretly instructed us that once we encounter any Disciple from your Jidao Martial Arts Hall, we must use lethal force and ensure you either die or are crippled! Therefore, from now on, all of you Disciples from the Jidao Martial Arts Hall should prepare to face a nightmare."

"As expected, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be askew!" Lin Feng couldn't help but be furious upon hearing this!

During the demon invasion, Wang Ao and Du Xing had actually defected and tried to harm him.

The two of them deserved to die!

He never expected that because of the deaths of those two, Hall Master Guo Yunxiao would hold a grudge until now!

Moreover, taking advantage of this Grand Competition, he secretly instructed the martial arts hall's Disciples to play dirty against Lin Feng and his group.

Guo Yunxiao was so petty and vengeful.

No wonder he taught a Disciple like Ye Fan!

"Haha, Lin Feng, remember this. Your Senior Brother Li Qiang was just the beginning. Next, once I encounter any more Disciples from your Jidao Martial Arts Hall, I will make them suffer even more." Ye Fan laughed wildly and turned to leave quickly!

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but grind his teeth in hatred.

"Senior Brother Lin, what happened?"

"Yeah, Senior Brother Lin, what did that dog Ye Fan say just now?"

...Seeing Lin Feng sulking there, a group of Outer Sect Disciples from the Jidao Martial Arts Hall gathered around and asked questions one after another.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng took a deep breath and said slowly, "Ye Fan said that once they encounter any Disciples from our Jidao Martial Arts Hall in the upcoming matches, they will use lethal force! Therefore, if you encounter Ye Fan when you go on stage later, I hope you will voluntarily concede!"

Now that Hall Master Su Tongtian was not around, Lin Feng couldn't think of a good solution for the time being!

He could only let everyone avoid the sharp edge for now!

Only in this way could everyone escape Ye Fan's cruel hands.

Judging by the previous battle between Ye Fan and Senior Brother Li Qiang!

That Ye Fan was indeed a peerless Prodigy with a Top-tier Root Bone.

Although he was only at the Late Stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, his combat power was infinitely close to that of a powerhouse at the Early Stage of the Core Condensation Realm.

This was also the main reason for the Senior Brother's defeat.

Now, apart from himself, no one else here was a match for Ye Fan if they encountered him!

If they went head-to-head, the losses would only be even heavier.

"Understood, we will listen to you, Senior Brother Lin!"

...The Disciples nodded one after another upon hearing this.

They understood that Lin Feng was doing this for their own good.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

At this point, the first round of the competition officially ended.

A total of eighty Disciples participated in this Grand Competition.

Twenty from the Jidao Martial Arts Hall, and thirty each from the Badao Martial Arts Hall and Fengyun Martial Arts Hall.

Plus, there were three arenas conducting matches simultaneously!

So, one round of the tournament finished very quickly.

After this first round of elimination!

Apart from Lin Feng, ten other Disciples from the Jidao Martial Arts Hall successfully advanced!

A total of eleven people!

Fourteen from the Badao Martial Arts Hall!

Fifteen from the Fengyun Martial Arts Hall.

...

Just then, Deputy Pavilion Master Wang Xu of the Pill Pavilion leaped onto the stage!

After saying a few words, he began to let everyone go on stage to draw lots for their opponents in the second round.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng and the others leaped onto the stage and stood in front of Wang Xu!

Wang Xu gave a flick of his hand and took out a large wooden box from his Storage Pouch.

Inside the box, there was also a thick stack of small wooden plaques.

Different numbers were carved on the wooden plaques.

However, under the cover of the Formation and Restriction, they could not be seen with the naked eye.

Even spiritual power could not penetrate into the box to peek.

"Everyone, just like the first round, please come forward one by one to draw your number plaques!" Wang Xu said loudly!

Upon hearing this, everyone stepped forward and drew a small wooden plaque from the box one by one!

Soon, it was Lin Feng's turn!

Lin Feng reached into the box and randomly pulled out a small wooden plaque!

He found that the number on it was sixteen.

After the drawing was finished, Wang Xu shouted again, "Alright, everyone, please go down to the waiting area to wait! Later, when the Disciples whose numbers are called, go up to Arena One, Two, and Three respectively for the matches!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng and the others leaped off the stage together.

Returning to the waiting area!

Lin Feng's gaze suddenly tightened!

He saw Ye Fan and Lin Hao standing together, with their arms around each other's shoulders, whispering about something.

From time to time, they would look up and secretly glance at him.

It seemed they were discussing how to deal with him.

"Birds of a feather!" Lin Feng muttered to himself, not bothering to pay them any attention.

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and schemes were futile.

Later, if the two of them encountered him, he would definitely make them pay dearly.

After resting for a while!

The second round of the competition officially began!

This time, it was still three arenas conducting matches simultaneously.

"Now, I invite Contestant Number One and Contestant Number Two to come on stage!" The host of Arena One shouted loudly!

"Please invite Contestant Number Three and Contestant Number Four to come on stage!" The host of Arena Two also shouted loudly!

"Please invite Number Five and Number Six to come on stage!" The host of Arena Three called out.

The six Disciples whose numbers were called walked out of the waiting area and stepped onto their respective arenas.

This time, the number plaque Lin Hao drew was number two!

So he stepped onto Arena One!

Coincidentally, his opponent was actually a Disciple from the Jidao Martial Arts Hall, Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu's bone structure was average, only possessing a medium-grade bone structure!

She was one of the Disciples who had entered the martial arts hall at the same time as Senior Brother Li Qiang!

Usually, when practicing martial arts at the Jidao Martial Arts Hall, she rarely spoke.

She was a typical wallflower.

However, thanks to her hard work, her strength was not weak; she had already stepped into the Middle Stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

She was only one step away from the Late Stage!

"You are from the Jidao Martial Arts Hall?" Lin Hao stood arrogantly on the stage, looking down at Lu Xiu with disdain.

"Yes!" Lu Xiu was a woman of few words and nodded.

"Haha, good, very good. Since you have encountered me today, you can only consider yourself unlucky." Upon hearing this, a trace of intense cruelty flashed in Lin Hao's eyes.

He had already discussed it privately with Ye Fan!

In the upcoming matches, once they encountered any Disciples from the Jidao Martial Arts Hall, they would play dirty and ensure they would either die or be crippled!

This time, he had to trample the Jidao Martial Arts Hall under his feet.

"The match begins!" Just then, the host of Arena One shouted loudly!

Whoosh!

As soon as his voice fell, Lin Hao shot out like lightning, instantly arriving in front of Lu Xiu!

He clenched his right fist and threw a fierce punch.

Seeing this, Lu Xiu hurriedly threw a punch to meet it!

With a loud, earth-shattering bang!

Lu Xiu opened her mouth and let out a shrill scream, suddenly flying backward.

It looked like Lu Xiu was about to fly out of the arena and fall off!

The next moment, a familiar scene appeared!

Lin Hao stomped his right foot hard on the ground and rushed out like a cannonball!

He actually arrived at the edge of the arena a step ahead of her!

Immediately, he stretched out his right hand like lightning, grabbed Lu Xiu's heel, and dragged her back fiercely!

Then, with a thud, he threw her to the ground!

This scene was exactly the same as when Ye Fan dealt with Senior Brother Li Qiang earlier.

After landing, Lu Xiu hurriedly opened her mouth and shouted, "I conc..."

However!

Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Hao raised his right foot and kicked Lu Xiu hard in the waist!

Bang!

"Ah!" Lu Xiu screamed as she was lifted into the air, and the words of concession in her mouth came to an abrupt end.

Just as Lu Xiu was in the air, Lin Hao was unrelenting and continued to rush out!

He began to punch and kick Lu Xiu crazily.

Until Lu Xiu was on the verge of death, he threw a punch, smashing her away and causing her to fall heavily off the arena.

Bleeding from her seven orifices, Lu Xiu tilted her head and passed out instantly!

Even more outrageous!

Facing Lu Xiu, who had already fallen off the arena, Lin Hao proudly spat in her direction and said disdainfully, "You people from the Jidao Martial Arts Hall are really trash; you are simply vulnerable to a single blow!"

"Hahaha... Senior Brother Lin Hao is mighty!"

"Senior Brother Lin is domineering!"

Seeing this, a group of Disciples from the Badao Martial Arts Hall were all fired up and started shouting loudly!

Seeing this scene, the Outer Sect Disciples of the Jidao Martial Arts Hall were completely enraged!

"Lin Hao is going too far. Senior Sister Lu was about to call out her concession, but I didn't expect him to still be so unrelenting!"

"Yeah, I think that dog is doing it on purpose!"

"Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that I can't beat that dog, I would have rushed onto the stage and torn him to pieces!"

...All the Disciples were so angry that smoke was practically coming out of their heads, and they were shouting and gnashing their teeth.

Lin Feng also clenched his fists, and the murderous intent on his body surged wildly!

If you can't stand it anymore, don't tolerate it any longer!

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and strode towards the wooden shed.

At this moment, he made a decision that would shock everyone present.
