The yandere senior sister pretended to be stupid to trick me, it made me feel numb!

Chapter 892 Isolated and helpless

On the stage.

Zhao Mu stood alone with his hands behind his back. No one came to cheer him on, not because he had no one behind him, but because they felt it was unnecessary.

It was a contest whose outcome was already predetermined; to look at it even once more would be disrespectful to Brother Zhao.

In contrast, Cang Mian was much more popular, especially since many members of the Cang family were pointing and whispering about Zhao Mu around the arena, their tone mostly arrogant and waiting to see a good show.

After all, during the Langhuan Secret Realm trial, Zhao Mu killed an entire Cang Lian team and helped Yu Ying successfully break through to the Fourth Extreme Realm, ruining the Cang family's good deed. All of this made them hate Zhao Mu to the bone.

While it's forbidden to kill someone in the ring, serious injury or even crippling is within the rules.

As early as when they left the Langhuan Secret Realm, the Cang family had already secretly investigated Zhao Mu's background.

The result was that he had no background whatsoever and simply relied on his good looks to become Yu Ruoling's lover, or rather, her male concubine.

Taoist companion?

Not to mention the Yu family, even the Amorous Sword Sect would never approve of it.

"This peasant named Zhao Mu, I really don't know what kind of luck he has, to be able to obtain great opportunities one after another. He is an unknown person with no powerful support, yet he has been able to cultivate to this level. Cang Lian and others have all died at his hands."

"He's good-looking, and maybe even has some special talents. He can sell his body and have women support him."

"I used to think Yu Ruoling was a pure and innocent fairy, but now it seems she's just... hmph~"

"Who says otherwise? They've only known each other for a few days and they've already hooked up. What good could they be?"

"Cang Mian is not a piece of trash like Cang Lian. This time, we'll teach that bastard a lesson he won't forget."

"This guy withstood the combined attacks of Cang Ming and Yin Yu during the Myriad Spirits Record, and he survived. Cang Mian really do the same?"

"Don't you know that Cang Mian has already entered the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm? His strength is enough to rank in the top ten among everyone. Even if he encounters a Spirit Refining cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, he may not necessarily be defeated."

"That's right, that guy named Zhao Mu's cultivation level is completely transparent. Although he cultivates both spirit and body, his body refinement hasn't broken through to the mid-stage of the Four Extremes Realm, and his spirit refinement hasn't broken through to the late-stage of the Four Extremes Realm either. How can he possibly defeat Cang Mian!"

"Don't worry about it. Haven't you noticed? There's not a single person around cheering for that guy. Isn't the answer obvious?"

"Haha, that's true. Even Yu Ruoling and Yanlan must think that Zhao Mu has no chance of winning this match, so they don't want to embarrass themselves."

"In my opinion, this guy will have to admit defeat before we even have a chance to fight."

"That won't do. If he admits defeat, wouldn't that mean..."

"Don't worry, Cang Mian won't give him a chance to admit defeat immediately. He will definitely cripple him and then throw him off the stage."

"..."

The Cang family's words reached the ears of everyone around them.

Since it was no secret that Cang Mian had entered the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm, many people came to watch, all wanting to see just how strong this expert, who was said to have the combat power of a top ten expert, really was.

Seeing the arrogant and confident expressions of the Cang family members, the onlookers subconsciously believed that Zhao Mu was bound to lose.

Although some of them had experienced the Tianlan River incident, Zhao Mu didn't make a move at the time and didn't show any strength beyond the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm.

As a result, most people were deeply influenced by the Cang family's words and subconsciously believed that Zhao Mu would suffer a terrible defeat later.

At the same time, he was somewhat disappointed with Yu Ruoling and the others.

They're companions, after all, yet they didn't even bother to come and see me. That's incredibly cold-blooded.

"Zhao Mu?"

On the arena, Cang Mian looked up at his opponent from his elevated position.

There was no way around it; Zhao Mu was too tall, over 1.9 meters, while he was only 1.8 meters.

"how?"

Seeing the guy's arrogant expression, Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "Do you want to spew trash talk and make me beg for mercy on my knees?"

"Even at this point, they're still so defiant."

Zhao Mu's reaction displeased Cang Mian, who shook his head slightly and said, "I'm giving you a decent opportunity, but you don't want to regret it later. You're really biting the hand that feeds you!"

Although Cang Mian had never fought Zhao Mu before, he knew that Cang Ming, who was only at the mid-stage of the Four Extremes Realm, could fight him to a standstill. Every cultivator knew how difficult it was to improve their cultivation through dual cultivation of spirit and body.

Without a major stroke of luck, his breakthrough would be several times more difficult than others.

In such a short time, he was able to break through to the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm; Zhao Mu clearly had no chance of having such an opportunity.

If Cang Ming, at the mid-stage of the Four Extremes Realm, could fight him to a standstill, then at the late-stage of the Four Extremes Realm, he would almost certainly win against Zhao Mu, who had made little progress.

What a stubborn guy who suffers for the sake of saving face.

Kneel down and kowtow a few times. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare your fifth limb when I cripple you later.

So that you can go back and continue being Yu Ruoling's male concubine.

Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Just as Zhao Mu and the others had predicted, he was deliberately chosen by the Cang family to target the former.

Of course, in his mind, it was about saving face for the Cang family, but in the eyes of some people, it was hard to say.

For example, Cangming.

"How noisy!"

Zhao Mu sighed somewhat listlessly, turned to the referee, and asked, "Can we play now?"

"..."

The referee standing to the side was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he couldn't understand what Zhao Mu was trying to do either.

Facing Cang Mian, who was at the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm, he actually acted as if he didn't take him seriously.

It should be noted that Cang Mian had the ability to win the championship in previous ranking matches.

As for Zhao Mu.....

He looked for a long time but couldn't see anything special about it. Although it was a dual cultivation of spirit and body, its body refinement was only at the early stage of the Four Extremes Realm and its spirit refinement was only at the middle stage of the Four Extremes Realm. Combined, it was no match for Cang Mian.

You must understand, this is a prodigy from the Cang family, one of the three major lineages of the Holy Land, not some ordinary person you just picked up off the street.

"The competition begins!"

Without much thought, since Zhao Mu was so eager to die, he decided to grant his wish.

"bring it on!"

Zhao Mu stretched out his hand and beckoned with one finger.

"you wanna die!"

Faced with such a contemptuous attitude, Cang Mian's face darkened. After letting out a low roar, he charged towards Zhao Mu like a cannonball, causing the referee standing to the side to instinctively retreat to the edge of the arena.

Although he was only at the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm, due to his superior background and the fact that he was a body cultivator, he believed that Cang Mian's strength would be comparable to that of a Great Perfection Four Extremes Realm cultivator.

"Still pretending!"

Seeing that Zhao Mu stood still and unmoved, the onlookers curled their lips in disdain.

Boom~

A sudden explosion rang out.

However, when their eyes fell on the arena, everyone was stunned, especially the referee who was presiding over the match.
