Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Who’s Courting Death

A brilliant smile spread across Zheng Yi’s face.

For him, simply dealing with someone directly was too boring. That way, he wouldn’t be able to vent the rage in his heart.

So, he was going to torture Li Yang slowly.

’An ant dares to ruin my Seven-Colored Orchid Fruit?’

If used perfectly, that Seven-Colored Orchid Fruit was enough to significantly boost his strength within the Profound Level. It could even cleanse his body’s marrow, strengthening his cultivation Talent!

His cultivation Talent was far inferior to his father’s and grandfather’s. Even reaching the Profound Level had been an incredibly arduous task, and advancing further would be extremely difficult.

If cultivation were really so easy, there wouldn’t be so many Cultivators stuck at the Yellow and Profound Levels.

Ninety percent of Cultivators were trapped at the Yellow Level for decades, unable to advance a single step.

For Zheng Yi, that Seven-Colored Orchid Fruit was his chance to break through to the Earth-Level, but Li Yang had completely ruined it.

Seeing Li Yang as nothing but an ant, he didn’t care in the slightest that the Seven-Colored Orchid Fruit had originally belonged to Li Yang.

In his eyes, if he saw it, then... it was his.

"Young Master Zheng Yi crushed the Anticancer Agent."

"Sigh, this Li Yang is so reckless, daring to offend Young Master Zheng Yi."

Everyone present was shocked to see the Anticancer Agent crushed. This was the most powerful state-level medicine, and its destruction by any means was forbidden.

But when they thought about Zheng Yi’s status, they could only shake their heads.

Even if he crushed the Anticancer Agent, it would have no effect on Zheng Yi at all.

Unsurprisingly, the person in charge of the charity foundation was also standing to the side, not daring to say a word.

Watching the Anticancer Agent get crushed, a violent rage suddenly erupted in Li Yang’s heart!

"Zheng Yi, you’re courting death!"

He clenched his fists, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

He had worked so hard for so long and finally managed to win the Anticancer Agent at auction, only for Zheng Yi to destroy it at the last moment.

"Haha, I’m courting death? Li Yang, that’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard."

A smile on his face, Zheng Yi said nonchalantly, "Even if I smashed two vials of the Anticancer Agent, nothing would happen to me. But you, Li Yang, are in for a world of trouble."

Watching the approaching Li Yang, he smiled. "You want to hit me? Uncle Lin, teach him a little lesson."

Cultivators were not supposed to attack ordinary people, but if an ordinary person made the first move, a Cultivator could naturally fight back. It wasn’t as if they were expected to do nothing.

He was hoping Li Yang would attack first. That way, they would be the ones with the initiative.

"Li Yang can’t hold back anymore; he’s going to make a move."

"Fighting a Cultivator? This Li Yang is about to get a harsh dose of reality."

"Sigh, of all the people to provoke, he had to pick Zheng Yi? There must be something wrong with Li Yang’s head."

The crowd watched Li Yang and sighed. In their eyes, for a normal person like Li Yang to actually dare to attack the two Cultivators, Zheng Qian and his companion, the outcome was already a foregone conclusion.

However, no one tried to stop him. They all just watched, including Zhao Kun, who looked on with cold eyes, making no move to offer a warning.

"Li Yang!"

Just then, an incredibly anxious voice cried out. Zhou Yao had finally broken free from Zhou Xiaoyun’s grasp and hurried over, trying to call Li Yang back.

"Li Yang, don’t fight them."

Zhou Yao ran over, overcome with anxiety.

She knew that Zheng Yi and his companion were both Cultivators. Compared to ordinary people, Cultivators were like superhumans. Li Yang was no match for them.

Once the fight started, he would have absolutely no way to resist and might even be severely injured.

Even if Li Yang were gravely wounded, Zheng Yi probably wouldn’t face any consequences.

"Yaoyao!"

Seeing Zhou Yao run out, Zhou Xiaoyun cried out in alarm and quickly chased after her. As for Zhou Tiantao, his expression changed drastically.

"Yaoyao, what are you doing?" he shouted, his heart sinking.

’What’s wrong with Yaoyao? Why would she go help Li Yang at such a critical moment?’ Zhou Tiantao panicked. From the look of things, Zheng Yi was clearly determined to make an example of Li Yang. At a time like this, anyone who helped Li Yang would surely be seen as Zheng Yi’s enemy.

And Zhou Yao had actually taken Li Yang’s side.

’This is bad. Now that Yaoyao has spoken up, the Zheng family will definitely be displeased with our Zhou family. I can’t imagine how furious Dad and Grandpa will be.’

Zhou Tiantao was terrified. Unlike other top-tier wealthy families, their Zhou family didn’t have a single Cultivator.

And now they had provoked the Zheng family...

Zhou Tiantao could fully imagine the thunderous rage of his family’s old master!

He hurried out and, along with Zhou Xiaoyun, grabbed hold of Zhou Yao.

When Zhou Yao had broken free earlier, Zhou Xiaoyun also had a bad feeling. She didn’t quite know what to think.

’Yaoyao is so hopelessly lovesick, to speak up at a time like this!’

If Li Yang were the one she liked, she would never have chosen to speak up under these circumstances.

Because speaking up wouldn’t change anything. Since Zheng Yi had decided to deal with Li Yang, it wasn’t something that would end just because Li Yang backed down. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Watching Zhou Yao run over only to be caught again, a warmth spread through Li Yang’s cold heart.

He nodded at Zhou Yao and said, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

"Li Yang," Zhou Yao said, growing even more anxious when she saw he had no intention of backing down. But now, she couldn’t move.

"Yaoyao, get back here!"

Zhou Tiantao roared. Then he turned to Zheng Yi, his face wreathed in an apologetic smile. "Young Master Zheng Yi, I’m so sorry. She’s just a young girl who doesn’t know any better."

He apologized profusely, terrified of displeasing Zheng Yi.

A mocking expression appeared on Zheng Yi’s face. "Li Yang, I never thought you’d have such a beautiful confidante to stand up for you. But this just makes it more interesting. After you’re completely crippled, I’d love to see if this ’confidante’ of yours will stick around."

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking as calm and carefree as the clouds and wind.

Before him, the middle-aged man named Lin Yan stood guard with a cold gaze.

Seeing Li Yang approach, Lin Yan extended his right hand and reached out to grab him.

"He’s finally making his move."

The crowd watched Lin Yan’s move with a hint of awe in their eyes.

Every Cultivator, even one at the Yellow Level, had physical conditioning that far surpassed ordinary people. For wealthy individuals like them, hiring one required a great price.

And this middle-aged man before them, Lin Yan, was an expert among Profound Level masters!

Zheng Yi’s own strength was too weak; he had only just reached the Profound Level. A Cultivator of this caliber was more than enough to protect him.

After all, the number of Cultivators who reached the Earth-Level dropped off sharply.

Besides, the Zheng family had Celestial and King Level experts. Who would dare make a move against Zheng Yi?

This man named Lin Yan wasn’t his bodyguard, but rather the person responsible for handling various matters for Zheng Yi.

’Li Yang, you even dare to provoke a Cultivator. You can’t blame my Zhao family for not helping you.’ Zhao Kun watched with an indifferent expression.

Across the entire plaza: an anxious Zhou Yao, a panicking Zhou Tiantao, a coldly spectating Zhao Kun, and a crowd that pitied Li Yang while enjoying the show.

Everyone wore a different expression as they watched the powerful Profound Level Cultivator, Lin Yan, reach for Li Yang.
