Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 156 Words can be deadly; a fight to the death? You dare to say that!

The crowd in front of the Imperial Treasure Pavilion continued to grow.

"The son of the Marquis of Zhennan..."

Looking at Meng Yan, whose head was swollen like a pig's head, Wang Huan pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Wudao and said in a deep voice:

"Young man, although I don't know what grudge you have, it's always good to be forgiving. There's no need to be so aggressive."

Li Wudao glanced at him and said indifferently, "Don't advise others to do good if you haven't experienced their suffering. Since you don't know the whole story, what right do you have to offer advice?"

He wouldn't treat someone who uses the guise of kindness to attack others from a moral high ground with any kindness in return.

Wang Huan was speechless for a moment, and his face turned somewhat ugly.

At this moment, Wang Chenfei stepped forward, his expression arrogant and superior, and said, "Just because my father is the fourth master of the Wang family, is that enough to qualify?"

Li Wudao frowned slightly. "Which Wang family?"

Seeing this, Wang Chenfei assumed he had backed down and sneered, "There's only one Wang family in the entire capital, and that's the Wang family of the current Grand Secretary!"

As he spoke, he extended his little finger, blew on his nail, and said contemptuously, "If you know what's good for you, apologize and get lost, and I might forgive your rudeness just now."

Upon hearing this, Li Wudao's eyes suddenly turned cold. "If it were anyone else, I might give way a little, but if it's someone from your Wang family, I will hold my own for every little thing!"

"Disappear from my sight within three breaths, or... you'll face the consequences!"

In the end, his voice was firm and cold, like the dead of winter, chilling everyone to the bone.

The room fell silent, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Wang family is one of the most powerful families in the Great Yu Dynasty, second only to the royal family and the Duke's Mansion in strength. This young man dares to threaten a big figure in the Wang family with cold words. He is truly audacious!

Wang Chenfei was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to dare to defy him. He was immediately furious and said, "Kid, you dare to threaten me? I think you're tired of living!"

Just as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to take action, he was stopped by Wang Huan beside him.

"Young man, which family do you come from, and have you had any previous dealings with our Wang family?"

Wang Huan narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to find out the boy's origins.

"Two breaths left."

Li Wudao ignored him, simply extending two fingers with a cold expression.

Seeing his tough demeanor, Wang Huan's expression shifted, unsure whether the other party was just using his power as a pretext or had something to rely on.

Just then, Meng Yan, his face bruised and swollen, jumped out and quickly explained:

"Fourth Master, please don't be fooled by this boy. I know his background very well. His mother is the second young lady of the Wang family, who was expelled from the family..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Huan's expression suddenly changed, and his initial surprise and doubt vanished.

He scrutinized Li Wudao from head to toe, his tone dismissive of a junior: "I thought you were from some prestigious family, but it turns out you're a good-for-nothing. What bad luck."

Beside him, Wang Chenfei sneered, "So it turns out you were just putting on an act. It's been years since we last met, and you little bastard have learned to deceive yourself."

Not far away, Li Nanzhi's pretty face changed slightly, and a hint of pity appeared in her eyes.

Sure enough.

The next instant, a cold glint appeared on Li Wudao's lips. Without uttering a single word, he raised his hand and decisively slapped Wang Chenfei across the face.

"Snapped--"

The force was so great that it knocked his mouth out of place, and several bloodied teeth fell to the ground, a truly pitiful sight.

"You Wang family members really do have the same foul mouths as always. If you can't speak properly, then you might as well just give up your mouths!"

As he spoke, under Wang Chenfei's terrified gaze, he punched him in the chin again.

With a "crack," his entire jaw was dislocated and shattered, all his teeth were broken off and fell out, and he was covered in blood, a sight too painful to look at.

"I knew it..."

Li Nanzhi shook her head helplessly.

What does it mean to say "trouble comes from the mouth"? This is clearly it.

"You scoundrel, you are so vicious!"

Seeing his son's bloodied and mangled mouth, Wang Huan was consumed by rage, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He drew his sword and slashed at Li Wudao.

"Keng!"

His swordsmanship was fierce, but unfortunately it was useless. In the blink of an eye, he was sent flying by Li Wudao's flick of his finger and landed diagonally on the ground not far away.

"This... how could someone as useless as you be so strong?!"

Feeling the pain and numbness in his hand, Wang Huan's expression changed drastically.

After several years, the once notorious cultivation failure in the imperial city has transformed into someone who has grown to such an extent.

It was unbelievable that even a dignified late-stage Martial Grandmaster like him felt a deep sense of oppression from a casual strike.

He took a deep breath, his previous disdain completely gone, and solemnly cupped his hands, saying:

"My son and I were rash earlier. If we leave now, can we call it quits?"

Seeing his obsequious manner, Li Wudao couldn't help but sneer: "You think I have no temper, coming and going as you please?"

"You Wang family members like to make others kneel in public, right? Today I'll make you two kneel to your hearts' content!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Huan's face turned ashen, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't go too far!"

He is, after all, a core member of the Wang family. Making him kneel down in public to a teenager, especially since the teenager's mother had been kicked out of the Wang family, is like slapping him in the face.

"Then I'll go too far, what can you do about it?"

Li Wudao stared intently at him, his aura imposing.

How could he forget the humiliation he suffered that day at the hands of Wang Xu, the head of the Wang family and his "good uncle"?

So let's give them a taste of their own medicine today and teach the Wang family a lesson they won't forget!

"Do you really intend to fight the Wang family to the death?"

Wang Huan's face was extremely ugly, his eyes filled with shame, anger, and hatred.

"A fight to the death? Hah, your Wang family... you dare to challenge us!"

Li Wudao chuckled, his tone filled with invincible confidence and deep contempt.

The crowd was in an uproar.

This is undoubtedly a blatant provocation against the Wang family!

"Very well! In that case, let's see who's the real deal!"

Wang Huan laughed in extreme anger, said no more, picked up the knife from the ground, and unleashed his full power.

"Master Xiang, how many moves do you think this person can withstand from that young man?"

In the distance, a strange light flashed in Murong Qinglan's beautiful eyes.

Xiang Leping paused for a moment, then said uncertainly, "If that young man really has combat strength comparable to a King Realm expert, Wang Huan probably wouldn't last more than ten moves."

Murong Qinglan nodded slightly, then looked at the arena with great interest.

.........

at the same time.

Wang Huan roared and flashed forward, unleashing a barrage of sword shadows in an instant. The sharpness and imposing aura of his sword truly intimidated many people.

"Master Wang's Soul-Chasing Blade Technique is becoming increasingly proficient. I'm afraid even martial artists of the same realm would find it difficult to withstand this strike head-on."

"That boy is indeed ridiculously powerful, but he is still too young. He will probably find it difficult to overcome the absolute gap in their cultivation levels."

"......"

Some people talked at length, shaking their heads and sighing, but deep down they didn't think highly of Li Wudao.
