After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

When Su Zhenzhen rushed back to the Hehuan Sect from the Su family, Lin Fengmian didn't give her a friendly look, as she only knew that Su Zhenzhen would cause him trouble.

Lin Fengmian, having gained absolutely nothing from the situation, resolved to win over this Japanese woman with a youthful face and large breasts sooner or later.

At the same time, the life-and-death arena was now surrounded by layers upon layers of cultivators.

A dense crowd of people thronged the area, a dark mass stretching as far as the eye could see.

Disciples of the Hehuan Sect, wandering cultivators from elsewhere, spies from various families... all forces gathered here, surrounding the entire Life and Death Arena.

The news of today's duel has already spread throughout the entire Hehuan Sect.

On one side is Lin Fengmian, the most prominent legendary disciple of the Hehuan Sect recently—from a useless furnace to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he has made amazing gains in the secret realm, even daring to fight the Holy Son, and it is said that even the Supreme Elder looks at him differently.

On the other side is Xiao Huohuo, a genius nurtured by the Xiao family with all their might—in just a few months, his cultivation level was forcibly raised to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and he is only one step away from Core Formation!

Mid-Foundation Building stage, battling against a Foundation Establishment Perfection stage.

By any measure, it was a crushing defeat with no suspense whatsoever.

Everyone wanted to see if the legendary Lin Fengmian would be trampled underfoot by the Xiao family today.

The surrounding area was filled with murmurs and discussions.

"How many moves do you think Lin Fengmian can last?"

"How many moves? He'd be lucky to last ten! The difference between a Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator and a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage cultivator is like heaven and earth!"

"You can't say that. Lin Fengmian is no ordinary person. You've all seen his performance in the secret realm..."

"The secret realm is a secret realm, where luck plays a role! This is a real, head-on confrontation; the difference in cultivation level is obvious, and luck won't help him!"

"That's right, that's right! The Xiao family really went all out this time. Xiao Huohuo's cultivation level was built up with rare and precious materials. Although his foundation is a bit weak, he is still a genuine Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator!"

Amid the discussions, most people were not optimistic about Lin Fengmian.

After all, the difference in cultivation level is undeniable.

There are two minor realms between the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

This is something that talent alone cannot compensate for.

And at this moment, on the arena of life and death.

Xiao Huohuo stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a black brocade robe, his face cold and stern, with a confident smile on his lips.

Feeling the surging spiritual energy of the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection within his body, he felt extremely confident.

That feeling was like having the whole world.

Every gesture he makes seems capable of destroying the world.

"This is what power feels like..."

Xiao Huohuo clenched his fist, feeling the immense spiritual power within his body, a fervent glint in his eyes.

He thought that if he could kill Lin Fengmian in public, he would surely receive a great reward after returning to the Xiao family.

What will his family think of him?

What do the elders think of him?

And Xiao Sheng...

The "eldest brother" who had always been above him was a genius who had always monopolized all the family's resources.

If I were to achieve such a great feat, my status within the family would surely rise accordingly.

Perhaps, he can even be on equal footing with Xiao Sheng!

Thinking of this, Xiao Huohuo felt even more smug.

He raised his head, looked at the figure in blue opposite him, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

at last……

The day has finally come!

"Lin Fengmian!"

He spoke, his voice high-pitched, tinged with a hint of smugness:

"Today is your death day!"

"I, Xiao Huohuo, will show everyone today—"

He paused, looked around to make sure everyone's attention was on him, before continuing:

"There will be only one consequence for angering the Xiao family!"

"That is—"

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice.

Lin Fengmian stood with his hands behind his back, his blue robe swaying gently in the wind, his expression indifferent.

He looked at Xiao Huohuo, who was talking non-stop, across from him.

A hint of impatience flashed in the other person's eyes:

"You talk too much nonsense."

Xiao Huohuo's face stiffened, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"you--!"

He was about to say something more.

however--

next moment.

Lin Fengmian's figure vanished from the spot in an instant!

Xiao Huohuo's pupils suddenly contracted!

What about people? !

His gaze swept quickly across the stage, but he couldn't catch a trace of Lin Fengmian at all!

Several bluish afterimages were left in the air; they were the afterimages left by extreme speed!

One, two, three...

The phantom images filled the entire Life and Death Arena, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake!

"Nine Transformations of Illusion!"

A disciple below the stage exclaimed in surprise.

This is the movement technique that Chu Qingyi gave to Lin Fengmian, a mid-grade Earth-level technique!

At this moment, Lin Fengmian unleashed his full potential!

Its speed was so fast that even Xiao Huohuo, who was at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, could not catch it!

When Lin Fengmian's figure reappeared—

He was already in front of Xiao Huohuo!

The distance between the two was less than three feet!

Xiao Huohuo was terrified and tried to back away, but found that his legs were nailed to the ground and he couldn't move at all!

It's not that I can't move, it's that the other party reacted too quickly!

It was so fast that he didn't even have time to react!

Lin Fengmian's right hand was already raised high.

In the palm of his hand, a dazzling golden light was gathering, radiating the brilliance of the midday sun!

The light grew brighter and brighter, so intense that people couldn't open their eyes!

The intense heat scorched and distorted the surrounding air!

"Nine Yang Divine Seal!"

Lin Fengmian let out a low shout and struck out with his palm!

The golden palm print, like a blazing sun, smashed fiercely toward Xiao Huohuo's face!

At such close range, Xiao Huohuo had absolutely no time to react!

He didn't even have time to think; his body's instincts drove him to frantically unleash the spiritual power within him!

Protective spiritual energy!

A thick layer of spiritual energy shield appeared around Xiao Huohuo!

This was his full-force defense, enough to withstand a full-force attack from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

however--

next moment.

That palm strike landed on the protective spiritual energy.

"boom--!"

A loud bang!

The protective spiritual energy didn't even last a second before it was shattered by that palm strike, as if it were made of paper!

The golden palm print, its momentum undiminished, slammed down hard on Xiao Huohuo's head!

"Bang--!"

A muffled thud!

Xiao Huohuo's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

Blood drew a blinding arc in the air!

"Bang--!"

He fell heavily to the ground and slid more than ten feet before coming to a stop!

He lay there, motionless.

On the stage of life and death, all was deathly silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and gaped, unable to utter a single word.

One palm strike.

Just one palm strike.

How could you send a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage flying?

No.

It wasn't swatted away.

Yes……

He's dead!

A daring cultivator flew onto the stage and checked Xiao Huohuo's breath.

Then, his face turned deathly pale.

"Dead...dead..."
