When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 319 It seems I'm not ruthless enough.
There were ten people in total, seven men and three women.

The men all looked like middle-aged men, while the women looked to be only in their thirties, but they were probably not young either.

People who practice martial arts live longer than ordinary people. If they take special care of themselves, cultivate some beauty-preserving techniques, and use some related medicines, maintaining a youthful appearance for decades is definitely not a problem.

Judging from Bai Ze's keen eye, these ten people should all be over forty years old, and their skills were quite profound, with an undeniable air of murderous intent about them.

Bai Ze's gaze swept over them, finally settling on a middle-aged man.

"The Slugs?" Bai Ze asked.

The Slu people, the Ying people, and the Dongxia people are all of the yellow race, but you can still tell the difference at a glance by looking at their faces.

The tall, slender man in the white shamanic uniform said expressionlessly, "Sulu Hwarang Do, Lee Jun-seong."

"Heh, so you're a disciple of the God of War, Slu." Bai Ze let out a meaningful laugh.

The so-called "Slu Martial God" is the registered title of Cui Longshan, the number one martial artist in the Slu Autonomous Prefecture, in the Martial Arts Association.

As long as you don't violate any taboos, you can choose any title you like when registering a martial arts association title. You can use any title you feel is acceptable, such as God, Demon, Venerable, or Emperor.

Theoretically, it wouldn't be a problem to call him the God of War.

But in reality, if you adopt an arrogant title, don't blame others for coming to challenge you.

The one who calls himself "Sword God" should just wait for all the sword learners in the world to come and challenge him to a duel.

However, adding a prefix can reduce some of the risks; "Slughorn" is such an example.

Of course, there will still be plenty of challenges.

Choi Yongsan managed to maintain this reputation by defeating various forces, which made Hwarangdo in Slu Autonomous Prefecture famous.

If this matter had ended there, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But the Slu people really regarded Cui Longshan as a god of war, readily comparing him to the war god Pei Dongliu, and in some people's words, he was almost the number one on Earth, or even the number one in the universe.

This attracted the attention of a martial artist surnamed Ye, who had been fighting his way up from the fifth star level, to come and challenge Cui Longshan, who then defeated him.

Since then, those in the know have treated the title "Slu Warrior God" as a joke, and they always unconsciously smile when they talk about it.

Clearly, Bai Ze was no exception.

Moreover, Bai Ze, as the martial arts successor of a certain Ye surname martial artist, was even more disgusted in Li Juncheng's eyes. He immediately said coldly, "Back then, the people from your Yujing Martial Arts University cheated and defeated my master. Although I, Li Juncheng, cannot avenge my master, I can still restore some face for him. Bai Ze, you are doomed to lose today."

Li Juncheng didn't have the guts to directly attack Ye Liuyun, but he still subtly implied that Ye Liuyun was despicable and that he had only won against Cui Longshan by cheating.

Those nearby felt an urge to step back, but considering they were all allies and couldn't let it affect morale, they held back and pretended not to understand what Li Juncheng meant.

"cough--"

A middle-aged man with a square face coughed and said, "Young man, we originally didn't want to take action, but you belittled the people from Yanjing Martial Arts University as worthless chickens and dogs. We, who came from Yanjing Martial Arts University, have no choice but to take action even if we don't want to."

"So, may I ask what this clay chicken and earthen dog are called?" Bai Ze asked with a light laugh.

Having already become the enemy, it would be hypocritical to say that you don't want to take action.

Besides, Bai Ze has already defeated the disciples of the God of War, so what difference would a few of you make?

Upon hearing Bai Ze's words, a dark look flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and his expression immediately turned cold. He said, "Liu Changfeng, the executive group leader of the Yanjing Martial Arts Association branch."

“Song Tianlei, a first-level combat instructor from the Yanjing Public Security Bureau,” another middle-aged man with a resolute face replied.

"Zhao Feng, a steward of the Shangqing Sect," said the beautiful woman dressed in white, holding a long sword.

"Yu Xianyong, the owner of the Longhu Martial Arts School in Huating City," the middle-aged man in training clothes said in a deep voice.

These four people, along with Li Juncheng, stood in front, their auras carrying a hint of menace. The other five remained silent, like spectators, and did not introduce themselves.

"They're all from quite a background," Bai Ze said softly.

Luo Shu has already informed Bai Ze of all the information about these people.

Let's not even talk about the Wushu Association branches and the Public Security Bureau; you can't get those positions without some power and connections.

The Shangqing Sect is clearly a major Taoist sect, as its name suggests; otherwise, it wouldn't be named "Shangqing."

As for Yu Xianyong, the owner of the martial arts school, he is an advisor to Tianzhi Company, a well-known multinational corporation in Huating City.

Although they were called advisors, they were actually more like the kind of guest ministers or retainers in ancient times.

Companies along the coast often use boxing matches to resolve disputes. This was the method Bai Ze and Yun Yan used to decide the ownership of overseas trade.

When Yu Xianyong was starting out at Tianzhi Company, he repeatedly gambled with representatives from other coastal and Yingguo companies, making significant contributions to the company. Even after Yu Xianyong's career stalled at the sixth star level, he was still granted a share of Tianzhi Company.

Simply put, they all have powerful connections, and those connections are quite significant.

If you fight them and injure or cripple them, you will definitely invite retaliation.

"Is this an attempt to make me hesitate to act against the enemy?" Bai Ze said calmly.

"I wouldn't dare. Everyone knows that you, Bai Ze, and the number one genius behind you are ruthless. Killing two of their sons wasn't enough; you even exiled their parents."

Yu Xianyong, dressed in blue, said with a barbed tone, "We wouldn't dare to be enemies with a vicious person like you, but now that you've insulted our alma mater, we have no choice but to step in."

He was referring to the Yun family, of course.

Yunlai Group moved its headquarters to Huating City a few years ago and should have made many friends there. This Xianyong... or rather, Tianzhi Company behind him, should be one of the Yun family's friends.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party is using this as an excuse to justify their actions. These words were so sincere that Bai Ze was almost moved to tears.

"well,"

Finally, Bai Ze sighed, saying with a helpless expression, "Knowing that I am ruthless, they still dare to oppose me. Doesn't that mean I'm not ruthless enough? It seems that I have no choice but to be ruthless today."

These people come from all sides and are acting against Bai Ze in the name of their alma mater. If they are dealt with severely, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

But if you don't take drastic measures, there will be even more trouble.

Moreover, Bai Ze couldn't have deliberately held back every time he went through the trials, could he?

Since you dare to be an enemy of Bai, you must be prepared to pay the price.

Liu Changfeng and the others did not expect that Bai Ze would be completely unaffected after learning about their identities and connections, and even planned to take drastic measures.

I thought I could win people over with words, but I didn't expect to be won over by them instead.

He said he couldn't not stand up for his alma mater, which seemed like great courage, but in reality he still had some worries in his heart.

After all, Bai Ze's fearsome reputation was earned through battle. He started fighting when he was just a one-star player, stepping over one opponent after another to get to where he is today.

Although Liu Changfeng felt that Bai Ze was still young and might not have as much combat experience as them, he absolutely dared not underestimate Bai Ze's strength.

So when Bai Ze's words struck a nerve, and his mind was in turmoil, Liu Changfeng's eyes sharpened, and he shouted, "Make your move!"

With his experience, he naturally knew that he had made a mistake at this moment, so he attacked without thinking. In this way, even if Bai Ze made a move, it would be an attack against an attack.

At that moment, Liu Changfeng pounded out with both fists, like a dragon emerging from the sea, unleashing two powerful punches.

At that very moment, a flash of white light appeared, and Bai Ze was already upon them.

The force of the fist slammed into Bai Ze, who was approaching. The collision of their energies created a loud explosion.

The actively formed qi armor blocked the two fist energies, and when the energy exploded, the hidden qi energy in the center made Bai Ze's eyebrows twitch.

Liu Changfeng had also used the method of hurting himself before hurting others.

While concealing the reverse force within the center is difficult, it is not impossible for Liu Changfeng, with his experience, to do so. If Bai Ze were to use "Return to Nothingness" to neutralize this punch, he would surely be attacked again by the reverse force within.

Even with his protective qi armor, Bai Ze was still momentarily blocked.

In that instant, a rustling sound rang out, and Li Juncheng, riding the breeze, swept over, unleashing dozens of leg shadows that poured forth like a flood bursting its banks.

Li Juncheng, registered with the Wushu Association as "Fanjiangjiao" (翻江蛟), meaning "Angry River Tide" (怒江潮).

Liu Changfeng's strategy was to conceal the truth within the truth in order to break the "return to nothingness," while Li Juncheng's strategy was to quickly restrain him. This was also a countermeasure discussed at the meeting of the directors of the Yanjing Martial Arts University.

One move to slow the enemy, one move to attack the enemy, and at the same time, one sword strike to kill!

Zhao Feng of the Shangqing Sect drew his sword, swaying gracefully. The sword moved like a cloud in the sky, seemingly slow but actually swift, arriving in an instant.

Zhao Feng, registered with the Martial Arts Association as "Flying Divine Sword," with the divine intent "ethereal cloud trail."

Both sides attacked from different directions, and the sword in Zhao Feng's hand gave Bai Ze a subtle premonition, as if it concealed a threat.

By combining modern technology with the methods of refining weapons in the primordial realm, Dongxia can definitely create weapons capable of breaking through the Qi armor.

This is also a major countermeasure for "Return to Nothingness" and even "Qi Armor". If the martial artist is not powerful enough, then find a powerful divine weapon.

If the materials of a divine weapon are special enough, even Bai Ze's "Return to Nothingness" cannot decompose it.

It can only be said that the Beijing Martial Arts University has really tried every possible method.

If I can't break your move, then I won't. I'll just try a different approach.

No matter how strong you, Bai Ze, are, you are still only a five-star warrior. Even eight-star and nine-star warriors can be injured by powerful weapons, let alone a five-star warrior like you.

At that moment, Bai Ze struck the sword with a backhand palm strike, knocking it away. At the same time, he raised his other hand, his powerful energy already unleashed, and his intention to ascend was already in motion.

The target was not Liu Changfeng, who was facing him head-on, but Li Juncheng, who had already made a move from the side.

"Stay on!"

Liu Changfeng immediately shouted, ignoring the backlash, and once again struck at Zang Ni with a punch.

At the same time, Song Tianlei stepped back a little, blew his nose with his hand, and made a sound.

"Humph!"

Taoist martial arts: The Hum-Ha Two Breaths Technique.

This is a special method of attacking the spirit with qi. It can use qi to shake the mind and consciousness of the opponent. If it is strong enough, it can even shake the opponent's soul to pieces.

Yanjing Martial Arts University could not find a martial artist with stronger mental power than Bai Ze and who was also proficient in mental magic in a short time, but they could find Song Tianlei, who had an attack consciousness.

The plan was to attack from all four sides, prevent Bai Ze from using "Return to Nothingness," and further deplete his true energy—it was practically perfect.

however--

Bai Ze, who had already turned to the side, suddenly had another figure appear behind him, as if two Bai Ze were overlapping each other, back to back, attacking at the same time.
