-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The crowd below burst into laughter, but Li Xuanxiao remained calm, laughing heartily in his heart.
Good, my act of pretending to be a novice still has some merit!
Look how happy they are; they already think they can easily handle me.
Li Xuanxiao, full of mischief, began plotting how to further confuse his opponents.
Let them think that I truly rely entirely on luck.
That way, I can rake in some easy points before they discover I'm pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!
The Demon Race member opposite Li Xuanxiao was also doubled over with laughter: "Kid, did you take a wrong turn? This isn't a place for playing house."
After saying that, it revealed a sinister grin again: "If you run around randomly, you might die!"
With a command from the host, the match resumed.
Li Xuanxiao quietly drew his he lan saber, his expression maintaining that clear, foolish look.
The opposing Demon Race member approached Li Xuanxiao slowly, a look of mockery on his face.
"Demon Brother, please leave me a complete corpse; I have use for it~"
"You are truly perverse! How can you say such trash! Demon Brother, ignore this pervert, I'll offer a higher price!"
"Demon Brother, even if you're going to eat, share a bite with us brothers~ Such tender skin and flesh, we also want a taste of the fresh meat~"
Mocking words continuously came from the audience, causing the vigilance in the heart of the Demon Race member on stage to drop another layer.
His gaze assessing Li Xuanxiao became less serious.
Chu Yin and Wu Jiangming in the audience were very anxious. They wanted to rush up and rescue him, but their strength failed them.
Looking around, there were mostly Demon Race members, and the organizer of the Deathmatch Arena was the Brocade Snake Manor, one of the Three Great Powers of the Lawless Land!
That was a force backed by Qian Realm Demon Race Members!
Although the Upper Kingdom was strong, it was far away, and its influence was limited.
It was impossible for these people to obey merely based on a name.
"Brother Li, why did you have to be so reckless in handling this?" The Fat Daoist Wu Jiangming sighed repeatedly.
Chu Yin held a similar view, but he could generally understand Li Xuanxiao.
Having provoked the Qilin Clan and reaching a dead end, disheartened yet unwilling to wait for death, he decided to risk his life!
But he hadn't expected the opponent to be so fierce, immediately entering a Deathmatch Arena.
Should he call him iron-blooded or reckless?
Chu Yin didn't know, but he felt both admiration and pity for Li Xuanxiao.
Such talent, yet...
On the Deathmatch Arena, watched by countless eyes, the Demon Race member slowly approached Li Xuanxiao with a look of unrestrained laughter.
One step, two steps...
Li Xuanxiao's heart was like a clear mirror, calculating the distance between them, ensuring a kill in one strike!
Acting when the opponent was most relaxed, even if he succeeded in killing him, most spectators would think it was an ambush, pure luck.
They wouldn't think that everything was actually under my control.
A few seconds later, the Demon Race member moved a little closer, his face playful, about to make his next move.
However, Li Xuanxiao's figure suddenly vanished!
The Minor Achievement level of "Evading leaves Movement Technique" was top-tier among Origin Realm existences in terms of both evasion and speed!
Thus, he closed the distance almost instantly, arriving before the Demon Race member!
He thrust the he lan saber upward and diagonally with his left hand!
The Demon Race member's hair stood on end; he immediately realized he was in trouble!
This kid was faking it!
However, Li Xuanxiao's speed far surpassed any previous opponent; it had no time to react at all.
With a 'Puchi' sound, the blade pierced the flesh, the tip emerging from the back of its neck, trailing scarlet blood.
"You! H-h-h-h..."
The Demon Race member looked utterly horrified, seemingly unable to believe it.
Li Xuanxiao's face was calm. Boundless True Qi surged along the blade, transmitting into the Demon Race member's body, churning its internal organs into a mess!
The light in the Demon Race member's eyes rapidly faded, replaced by regret.
I was too careless...
Everything happened in a flash of lightning. By the time some sharp-eyed spectators noticed something was wrong, the outcome was decided!
The audience below erupted in an uproar. The change in the arena was too fast; many spectators had just reacted when they saw the Demon Race member impaled through the throat by the blade!
Its massive body crashed heavily to the ground.
Leaving behind the seemingly frail young man, shaking off the demonic blood, sheathing his saber, and striking a handsome pose.
[Successfully slain a Rhino Demon at the eighth level of the Origin Realm, gaining 80000 Demon value Points!]
Numerous spectators were stunned by the unreal scene before them!
No one expected that the majestic Demon Race member, currently at its Peak state, would meet such a swift and clean end at Li Xuanxiao's hands.
That was a powerful Demon Race member at the eighth level of the Origin Realm!
Yet, it couldn't even manage a single move against this kid?
Li Xuanxiao's movement technique was too fast, and the dissipation of his True Qi was not obvious, so almost no one noticed that Li Xuanxiao was a Martial Artist at the Peak Origin Realm.
Naturally, many voices of doubt arose.
"This kid cheated! He's probably not that strong himself; it's mainly his movement technique that's formidable!"
"Brother Demon was just too careless; he never expected this kid would be so insidious!"
"Exactly, that's how this kid managed to exploit the opening!"
"He won't be so lucky next time; the challengers coming later will be wary of his movement speed!"
"Despicable Human!"
Listening to the idle chatter of the audience below, the corner of Li Xuanxiao's mouth curled up; everything was proceeding exactly as he had anticipated.
Chu Yin looked at Li Xuanxiao with astonishment. He hadn't seen that scene too clearly either.
As a fellow Human Race member, he instinctively felt dissatisfaction with the nearby spectators' comments belittling Li Xuanxiao.
But upon careful consideration, it seemed to be exactly as they said.
Li Xuanxiao hadn't used any specific move; at least outwardly, it truly seemed to be purely exploiting the Demon Race member's complacency.
Then, using his unexpected movement technique, he swiftly and decisively ended the fight!
Even so, Chu Yin still held great admiration for Li Xuanxiao.
The speed of Li Xuanxiao's movement technique and the precise grasp of the timing for his strike were the reasons he could successfully achieve a one-hit kill!
It was a Deathmatch Arena with no rules; as long as the objective—killing the opponent—was achieved, it was skill!
Compared to Chu Yin's reserved restraint, the Fat Daoist Wu Jiangming was completely unashamed.
He almost immediately jumped up from his seat and loudly cheered for Li Xuanxiao: "Brother Li, well done! Kill all these Demon Race members! The Boundless Heavenly Venerate will bless you!"
Wu Jiangming's loud shout was full of vigor, attracting many gazes.
Many Demon Race members looked displeased.
"Stinking Daoist, what are you barking about? What are you barking about?"
"Your Human Race kid is just a treacherous villain who ambushed our Demon Race warrior."
"Just wait, in the next match, our Demon Race will beat him until he's spitting blood!"
Wu Jiangming was not one to back down from trouble. He flicked the cuff of his daoist robe, about to start arguing back properly.
But his mouth was immediately covered. Chu Yin's mouth twitched as he forced Wu Jiangming back into his seat.
Damn it, are all Daoists this brave?
In a territory dominated by the Demon Race, in front of countless Demon Race members, he dares to shout about killing all the Demon Race members?
