Chapter 153 The Deterrence of One Finger
In front of the Imperial Treasure Pavilion.
More and more people came to join the commotion, drawn by the excitement.
Seeing Li Wudao approaching with an unfriendly look, Meng Yan was terrified. He had been traumatized by the beating he suffered at the restaurant that day.
However, when he glanced at the five disciples of the Li Huo Sect beside him, he suddenly became much more confident and sneered, "Tch, anyone can talk tough, but try touching me if you dare!"
While Li Wudao certainly possessed the strength to overwhelm those in the late True Yuan Realm, these inner disciples of the Li Huo Sect were no less formidable. Even if they were no match for him in a one-on-one fight, their numerical advantage was more than enough to handle him.
"That's right, if you dare to lay a finger on Brother Meng, I'll make you regret ever being born!"
"That's right, don't think you can be arrogant just because you have some strength. If you push me too far, you'll regret it!"
Several disciples of the Li Huo Sect echoed this sentiment, their expressions ranging from disdain to arrogance.
Seeing this, Li Wudao's lips curled into a smile, and then he looked at Du Peng to the side and said, "Manager, it's not against the rules of Yu Bao Ge that I took action at the door, is it?"
Du Peng nodded in surprise, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "In principle, there's no problem, but this..."
He was somewhat bewildered. This was the first time someone had dared to cause trouble at the entrance of the Imperial Treasure Pavilion, and he was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.
Before he could finish speaking, Li Wudao waved his hand to interrupt him, saying casually, "Alright, you should step aside for now, lest you get covered in blood later."
Hearing this impatient urging, Du Peng couldn't help but frown.
Given his status and strength, even the heads of several major families would treat him with utmost respect. Now, a mere youth dares to boss him around. How could he not be furious?
However, just as he was about to say something, he was stunned by Li Wudao's deep eyes. His body froze on the spot for no reason, his mind went blank, and he couldn't even make a sound.
By the time he came to his senses, the other person was already far away.
"That gaze... such a powerful sense of oppression... How could I, a Martial Grandmaster at the peak of my cultivation, be so intimidated and momentarily stunned by a mere youth? Is it just my imagination... or...?"
Looking at Li Wudao's tall and imposing figure, Du Peng's pupils trembled slightly. He felt shocked and bewildered, and somewhat incredulous.
"Kid, since you're looking for a beating, I'll play along!"
As Li Wudao strode closer, a disciple of the Li Huo Sect stepped forward with a cold smile.
Immediately, he clenched his fist and swung it out with the speed of a hawk.
"Ah-"
The fist's energy was fierce, creating a series of loud crackling sounds that surprised everyone.
"To have reached the peak of the True Essence Realm at such a young age, which family has nurtured this genius? His future is limitless!"
"This boy not only possesses profound cultivation, but his fist techniques are also quite exquisite and imposing, even more powerful than my Liu family's 'Azure Wolf Fist,' at least a Earth-rank technique!"
"Hiss~ It seems this young man has quite a background. I reckon he's a descendant of some major sect."
"........"
The onlookers commented and made various remarks, their attention all drawn to the imposing aura emanating from the disciples of the Li Huo Sect.
"Strange, I can't sense this young man's cultivation level. Is he using a secret treasure to conceal his cultivation, or is he just an ordinary mortal...?"
Du Peng frowned, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment as he looked at Li Wudao.
It's strange that someone with his peak Martial Grandmaster cultivation couldn't see through a mere youth.
Just as he was pondering this, a scream suddenly came from the arena.
When they came to their senses, they saw the disciple of the Li Huo Sect kneeling on the ground, his left arm hanging down in pain, drops of scarlet blood flowing down his blurred palm.
Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that his wrist was comminuted, with exposed bone fragments, a shocking sight.
Looking at Li Wudao again, he stood calmly in place, spotless, as if the seriously injured Li Huo Sect disciple had nothing to do with him, showing no sign of making a move.
The whole place was silent.
Everyone froze on the spot, their pupils flashing with horror, their mouths agape.
"What... can someone tell me what just happened?!"
Du Peng's expression changed slightly, and he became somewhat uneasy.
He was only distracted for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, the disciple of the Li Huo Sect was knocked to the ground, and even his entire arm was broken. It was completely unexpected.
"The boy used a single finger, lightly extending it, and then... just..."
A burly man, two meters tall, pointed at Li Wudao, his voice trembling, his lips quivering, and he could barely speak.
"You mean, he only used one finger to beat that peak True Yuan Realm youth into this state?!"
Du Peng seemed to understand something and incredulously held up a finger to confirm.
Seeing the burly man nod, a storm of shock surged within him. "How is this possible...?"
Even a physical cultivator cannot match the power of a fist with just a single finger, unless... their strength is absolutely superior to the opponent's.
It should be noted that the disciple of the Li Huo Sect was already at the peak of the True Yuan Realm. Even he could not possibly cripple the entire arm with just one finger.
But this sixteen-year-old boy actually did it!
Doesn't this mean that Li Wudao is even stronger than him?!
Thinking of this, Du Peng's expression changed repeatedly, and he secretly exclaimed that it was impossible.
What a joke! To possess strength comparable to a Martial King at such a young age is something he has never heard of before. Even the most outstanding talents in the main pavilion cannot compare to him. It is simply beyond reason!
"Hiss! He crippled a peak True Essence Realm expert with just one finger. Just how strong is my cousin...?"
Li Nanzhi clicked her tongue in amazement, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light, her heart trembling slightly.
She couldn't help but compare Li Wudao at this moment with the number one genius of the Great Yu Dynasty, and for a moment she couldn't tell who was better, which surprised her even more.
"You...who are you?"
At this moment, the disciple of the Li Huo Sect looked up at the boy who had looked down on him not long ago, with a pained, fearful, and bewildered expression in his eyes.
With his talent and strength, he would be considered above average among his peers in the Li Huo Sect. It's unbelievable that he was defeated by a mere youth using only one finger...
The feeling was like swatting a fly—simple and natural. He couldn't even feel the slightest resentment; all he felt was deep fear and frustration.
Li Wudao ignored him and walked towards Meng Yan, who was pale-faced.
A young man from the Li Huo Sect stepped forward with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice:
"Sir, we are inner disciples of the Li Huo Sect. You have severely injured my junior brother. If you retreat now, the Li Huo Sect may perhaps let bygones be bygones; otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Wudao slapped him to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, leaving him powerless to fight back.
"You have repeatedly injured my Li Huo Sect disciples. Aren't you afraid that my sect elders will seek revenge on you in the future?"
"You've hurt us, and the Li Huo Sect will never let this go!"
Even now, these people still dared to utter threats. Li Wudao couldn't help but laugh in anger, raising his hand to slap each of them hard across the face. "Li Huo Sect... I'll teach you Li Huo Sect..."
"You're the one who made me regret being born, aren't you?"
"Snapped--"
"You want me to suffer the consequences?"
"Snapped--"
