My Arrogant Young Lady

"Yes, a promise is a promise." I smiled.

"Could it be that Wang Xi has really become a master of cultivation?" Looking at my confident appearance, Lin Fan couldn't help but wonder to himself.

If that's the case, I, at the peak of the Golden Core stage, might not be his match. Perhaps I should use my full power from the start to kill him, to avoid being killed due to underestimating him.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but glance at Wang Yang, who was eyeing him menacingly on the Martial Arts Committee stage.

Heh, the day of revenge has finally come. More than a decade ago, I was too badly injured to kill your precious son with a single blow.

Today, let me kill him right in front of you...

Chapter 364 Ambush from Ten Sides

Thinking of this, a cruel smile crept onto Lin Fan's face. Killing was nothing more than a trivial matter to him. The onlookers at this martial arts tournament were no different from ants in his eyes. The thought of killing Wang Yang had been lurking in his heart for over a decade. Now, his revenge was about to begin; the deep resentment in his heart was finally about to be released. He would kill Wang Yang, kill Wang Yang's wife, kill Wang Yang's son, and wipe out his entire Wang family.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent gradually appeared in his eyes. Then, he looked at me across from him and gave me a strange smile.

Lin Fan was merely a high-level god-tier expert, as his name suggested, utterly ordinary in my eyes. But when he gave me a murderous glare and a strange smile, my expression changed. My eyes became somewhat bewildered.

"Brother Xi, this kid actually dares to look at you with that arrogant look. Damn, this kid's really something now, hasn't he?" Upon seeing Lin Fan's gaze, Young Master Bao in the audience immediately shouted.

"Yeah, he got to the finals by luck. What's there to brag about? How many rounds are you going to watch? If you keep watching, believe me, I'll beat you up after the finals!" Black Dragon shouted from below the stage.

"What?" Lin Fan's expression changed slightly after hearing what Young Master Bao and Black Dragon said.

Although Young Master Bao is my brother, I have to say the truth from an objective point of view: Young Master Bao is a very snobbish person.

Perhaps it's because his family is relatively well-off. Even when he was in school, Young Master Bao looked down on people. He looked down on those from ordinary families and those who looked honest and easy to bully. But ever since An Yao found me, and Young Master Bao learned that I was a prince from a foreign royal family, he started fawning over me, insisting on becoming my sworn brother. Even if I scold him, hit him, or try to get rid of him, he won't leave. He knows that following me will give him a better future.

But Young Master Bao is very loyal. He had some ulterior motives for becoming my brother, but he genuinely cares about being my friend. If anyone tried to kill me, I believe Young Master Bao would be the first to stand up and take a bullet for me.

I've mentioned his snobbish and contemptuous nature to him many times.

As for Black Dragon, he's always been a domineering tyrant. He not only looks down on ordinary people like Young Master Bao, but he also despises the wealthy. The only person he truly respects is my father. My father was a hoodlum in his youth, and Black Dragon only admires those who are successful like my father.

Lin Fan came from a family with no connections; in their eyes, he was just a nobody. So when they saw Lin Fan dare to be arrogant towards them and reveal a cruel smile, they immediately disliked him.

After Young Master Bao and Black Dragon shouted that, Wang Huan thought for a moment and then shouted back, "Lin Fan, you're just a high-level god-level expert, right? You're no match for a cultivator like my brother? Don't try your luck, just surrender now."

By this time, I was very popular in the martial arts tournament. Especially after Wang She saved me, everyone thought I was a powerful cultivator. Now, when they heard Wang Huan shout, they thought for a moment and shouted along, "Lin Fan, we've already reached the finals, do you still want to rely on luck?"

"You are not qualified to fight against a master cultivator. Come down now and don't waste the Wang family's pills."

"Wang Xi, the heir of the Wang family, has already bound you with your hands and feet. Even if you win, what good will it do? Get down now and stop trying your luck."

"Hehe, you want that 2 billion prize money, right? If you really want that 2 billion, we'll all chip in for you."

As a top-tier martial artist, I'm already sought after by various families, powerful factions, and conglomerates. This is an era for martial artists; any master present can afford a sports car and a villa. Because of their wealth, they speak with unwavering confidence. At the same time, they genuinely hope I will become the world's number one, the champion of the martial arts tournament, and lead them against Oda Seiji.

With my identity as a cultivator and the background of the Wang family, I am already at the pinnacle of power and influence. Lin Fan, on the other hand, has no identity or background. He relied solely on luck to reach the finals. They simply don't trust Lin Fan and are hesitant to entrust him with leading them against Oda Seiji.

"Damn it!" Lin Fan clenched his fists in anger as the shouts from below the stage grew louder. If he didn't still think the martial arts world of China had some value, he would have rushed off the stage and killed a hundred or so masters to vent his anger.

He was the esteemed Demon King, the leader of the underworld. In his other world, when had he ever received such treatment?

After killing Wang Xi, I will definitely not let you people get away with it.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan's eyes turned cold, and he immediately rushed towards me.

Seeing Lin Fan make his move, Young Master Bao, Black Dragon, and Wang Huan, who were standing below the stage on my side, immediately burst into laughter. They all looked down on Lin Fan, mocking him loudly like villains. With Young Master Bao and Black Dragon laughing, Nie Xiaohai, influenced by them, also started to behave badly. Sharing the same disdainful laughter as Young Master Bao and the others, Nie Xiaohai put his arm around Wang Huan's shoulder and said, "Look, Lin Fan, a top-tier god-level expert, has made his move. He's going to get lucky again."

"That's so funny." Wang Che, who had always been a mischievous girl, immediately laughed arrogantly after hearing their words.

"Wang Xi, you'd better not underestimate your opponent." Only Tong Jialing'er sensed something was wrong and said to me.

I love showing off in front of Xi'er, and now that Tong Jia and Ling'er are here, I'm even more determined to do so. Although my martial arts are almost completely crippled, I believe I can still deal with a top-tier master like Lin Fan using formations. You see, mental attacks are the bane of martial artists. Masters who use mental attacks can defeat opponents far stronger than themselves.

Even if Lin Fan is a master of the Heartbeat level, he will still have a great headache when he encounters my formation.

As Lin Fan drew closer to me, I smiled slightly, lit a cigarette, and said, "Ambush from all sides."

As the cigarette was lit, a thick fog instantly billowed in front of Lin Fan. Soon after, a series of shrill screams echoed around him. The Ten-Sided Ambush Formation was the strongest of the ten formations Leng Yan had taught me. Although I didn't take Lin Fan, an ordinary person, seriously, his incredible luck made me wary. Therefore, I used the strongest formation, the Ten-Sided Ambush Formation, right from the start.

A shrill roar was heard, and a headless general immediately rode a tall horse charging towards him. Lin Fan glanced at the headless general and with a light palm strike, knocked him off his horse.

Soon, countless one-armed generals, headless generals, and countless ghost soldiers surged towards him from all directions. With a wave of his hand, the circle of soldiers around him instantly vanished into thin air.

My formation can indeed trap experts at the Heartbeat level, but Lin Fan is a peak Golden Core expert. In his eyes, this formation is like a child's drawing, so crude.

To break my formation, he only needs to use his true energy to break it with a single finger.

However, precisely because the formation seemed so simple to him, it aroused his suspicion. In his mind, he was now a master cultivator at the immortal level. And the same formation would unleash different powers depending on the level of the master.

Could it be that there's something fishy about his formation?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan frowned and glanced at the illusion array I had set up. With just a little effort, he found the life gate and death gate of my array.

Fearing that my formation might be a trap, and that if he used his true energy, it might be absorbed by the formation, he simply followed the conventional path, searching for the life-giving gate of my formation like an ordinary person.

I was halfway through my cigarette when I saw Lin Fan, frowning, walk towards the life gate of my formation, and my heart skipped a beat. Although Young Master Bao and the others below the stage were still mocking Lin Fan, I had already realized that this Lin Fan was no ordinary person.

Standing on the Martial Arts Committee platform, Leng Yan couldn't help but narrow her eyes. "He found the life gate of Xi'er's formation. Xi'er's formation can trap experts at the Heartbeat level even if they are above the Golden Core level. Only experts at the Golden Core level or above can sense the location of the life gate of Xi'er's formation so easily."

"An expert at the Golden Core level or above?" Upon hearing Leng Yan's words, Wang Yang couldn't help but grip the pistol he had already prepared.

However, just as Lin Fan was about to walk out of the formation through the Gate of Life, he thought for a moment and suddenly walked towards the Gate of Death.

No, the formation set up by the immortals couldn't possibly be that simple.

“He’s heading towards his death.” On the other side of the stage, Li Bihui said to the four Heavenly Kings beside her.

"What?" Qinglong was surprised after hearing Li Bihui's words.

"For martial artists, there are two ways to break a formation. One is to forcefully break the formation with overwhelming strength, and the other is to use the martial artist's cultivation level to comprehend the location of the eight gates of the formation. The gates are Life, Injury, Death, Block, View, Rest, Shock, and Open. Life, Open, and Rest are auspicious gates, also known as the gates for breaking the formation. Death, Shock, and Injury are inauspicious gates; those who enter them will suffer severe damage to their spiritual power at best, and die from bleeding from all seven orifices at worst. Block and View are neutral. Entering these two gates will not break the formation, nor will it cause injury."

"But Lin Fan has entered the Gate of Death, and it will be difficult for him to get out again. Wang Xi's Ambush Formation is a masterpiece passed down from Leng Yan. Within the formation, there are nine other great formations. If he had exited through the Gate of Death from the beginning, it would have been fine, but if he had mistakenly entered the Gate of Death, he would have entered one of the nine great formations and become more and more trapped. If Lin Fan had mistakenly entered the tenth great formation of the Ambush Formation, the Gate of Death, even if Lin Fan were a Golden Core level expert, it would have been difficult for him to get out."

At this point, Li Bihui couldn't help but glance at Wang Xi. Wang Xi was now a master cultivator at the immortal level. He certainly had the right to be arrogant. If Wang Xi had used the Ten-Sided Ambush Formation from the start when she fought him, even with her Eightfold Fist Shadow technique, she probably wouldn't have been able to break through it.

So, in her fight against Wang Xi, she struck first. Unfortunately, she was still no match for Wang Xi. Even with her Eightfold Fist Shadow, Wang Xi's golden dragon protection left her helpless.

On the other hand, if Lin Fan had used his true energy to forcefully break the formation from the beginning, he probably could have easily walked out. Just like Nie Xiaohai that day, seeing that he was trapped in the formation and couldn't get out, he directly used his strongest Heaven-Breaking Technique to forcefully break the formation. But Lin Fan is a Golden Core level expert, and for an expert like him, he felt that Wang Xi's formation was too crude, not like a formation used by an immortal.

It was precisely because it was so simple that he suspected there was a trap in the formation. So he walked into the dead ends of the formation, feeling gratified with each new danger he encountered, thinking, "This is the kind of formation that immortals use."

As he entered the tenth level of the great formation, the Gate of Death, his feet were already covered in mud and swamp, and the illusion was filled with gods and demons. Seeing the colossal gods attacking him, Lin Fan finally realized that he would have a hard time escaping the formation. At this moment, however, he felt even more gratified.

This is more like an array set up by an immortal.

"Brother Xi, what's that kid doing pacing around the ring? Haha, is he about to die?" Young Master Bao asked me from below the stage, laughing heartily.

"..." After hearing what Young Master Bao said, I remained silent with a solemn expression.

"No, something's not right with Lin Fan. I was trapped by Brother Xi's Six Ding Six Jia Formation, and when I saw there was no hope of breaking through, I immediately gave up. But Lin Fan has already entered Brother Xi's tenth death formation, and he's only slightly sweating without any abnormality? This tenth death formation of the Ten Sides Ambush Formation is a death formation that can kill a Heartbeat level expert!" Wang Huan also frowned deeply and quickly pulled out a pistol from his pocket.

"Wang Yang, kill him quickly! He is Oda Seiji! If there is anyone in this world who can walk into the tenth level of the Ten-Sided Ambush Formation and emerge unscathed, then there is only one person in this world!" Leng Yan's gaze turned cold in an instant, and her whole body immediately emitted billowing black energy.

Bang! A gunshot rang out immediately from the high platform of the Martial Arts Committee...

Chapter 365 Three Days Later

At this moment, Lin Fan was battling the Asura Immortal within the tenth layer of the Ten-Sided Ambush Formation. Hearing a gunshot, he looked down at his chest. He saw blood slowly flowing from his wound, and a smile appeared on Lin Fan's face. "They... they've seen through my identity?"

"Oda Seiji, he's immortal!" When Wang Yang saw that Lin Fan was bleeding from the chest he had hit, his face turned pale instantly.

When Wang Yang pulled the trigger again, billowing black energy emanated from Lin Fan's body. As the black energy gathered, a giant black dragon gradually emerged from Lin Fan's black aura.

Standing below the stage, Wang Yu's gaze turned cold instantly as he looked at the giant black dragon. "It's my uncle!"

"What level of expert is this?" Someone in the audience couldn't help but ask, sensing Lin Fan's powerful aura.

"He's above the gods, a master of the Fusion stage. His strength might even surpass that of someone in the Fusion stage!" someone shouted from below the stage.

"A master of the Fusion stage? Lin Fan is a master of the Fusion stage?" The crowd below the stage became even more chaotic.

"Fusion, Heartbeat, Golden Core... Lin Fan's aura has actually reached the Golden Core stage. He is a master of the Golden Core stage!"

"What!?"

I could already feel Lin Fan's aura growing stronger and stronger. Sensing his sharp presence, my expression changed drastically. In my mind, Lin Fan was just an ordinary person. I hadn't taken him seriously. Now, seeing him actually reach the Golden Core stage, the shock I felt was indescribable.

Lin Fan's aura gradually grew stronger. He rapidly advanced from the Fusion stage to the Golden Core stage, and then quickly from the early Golden Core stage to the peak of the Golden Core stage. The peak of the Golden Core stage was only half a step away from the Nascent Soul stage. Once one cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, one could be considered a true cultivator. Lin Fan was actually about to become a master cultivator.

I'm a fake immortal cultivator. He's a real immortal cultivator. A middle school student meets the president of a prestigious university's karate club. Right now, he's standing right in front of me, and I can already feel that he could easily beat me to death with a casual wave of his hand.

"break!"

He had already entered the tenth layer of the ambush formation I had set up. This was a death formation capable of killing even a master of the Heartbeat level, but he broke through it with just a flick of his finger.

Then, light returned to Lin Fan. Glancing at the shocked expressions of everyone present, Lin Fan gently twisted his neck and smiled, "It's truly a difficult thing not to fight with your true strength."

"Oda Seiji!" Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Wang Yang immediately called out his real name in a cold voice.

"Wang Yang, it's been a long time." With a smile, Lin Fan looked at Wang Yang with a cold glint in his eyes.

When their eyes met, the air seemed to grow colder. One was the strongest in the world, the other the most powerful. Many realized that such a powerful expert must be Oda Seiji. And this final duel no longer belonged to Lin Fan and me. The final duel belonged to Wang Yang and Oda Seiji. A duel between the most powerful and the strongest.

After they stared at each other for a minute, I clearly saw the blood on Oda Seiji's chest dry, and his chest twitched slightly. A fatal gunshot wound had become like a minor cut in the blink of an eye. I couldn't help but clench my fists; I thought to myself, he truly is immortal. No one but Oda Seiji could survive a gunshot wound to the chest. Oda Seiji, he's practically a monster.

"Wang Yang, I've waited for this day for over a decade." Looking at Wang Yang on the martial arts committee's high platform, Oda Seiji's smile grew even more sinister. At that moment, his body suddenly grew taller and stronger. He tore something off his face with his hand, revealing a sharply defined, chiseled features.

Just one glance at Oda Seiji's true face made the warriors present turn even paler. Their eyes darted around him, and they couldn't help but exclaim, "Oda Seiji! He really is Oda Seiji! This great demon king, the great demon king who can destroy the world, he's actually come in person! And he's been impersonating a nobody all along, blending into this martial arts tournament!"

“Oda Seiji, I’ve been waiting for this day for over a decade.” Looking into Oda Seiji’s icy gaze, Wang Yang’s eyes turned as cold as ice.

“That’s right. Since we’ve both waited more than a decade for this day, how about I kill your son and we duel together?” Oda Seiji smiled menacingly and turned to look at me.

The moment Oda Seiji looked at me, Wang Yang's expression changed drastically. "Xi'er, run! You're no match for him!"

Run! Where should I run? If I run, what will happen to my brothers in the audience? Just now, Young Master Bao, Black Dragon, Wang Huan, and the others kept mocking Oda Seiji, trying to make him admit defeat before the fight even started. But now, Young Master Bao and Black Dragon have realized they were mocking Oda Seiji himself, and they're pale with fright.

If war breaks out, Oda Seiji will kill me first, and the next ones will definitely be Young Master Bao and Black Dragon.

Xi'er, Tongjia Ling'er, and the young masters and ladies of the four great families are all by my side. I can't leave them and run away alone.

Thinking of this, I glanced at Oda Seiji and smiled disdainfully. Then, seeing his slightly surprised expression, I lit a cigarette.

"Oda Seiji, who do you take me for, Wang Xi? Someone you, a mere Golden Core cultivator, can kill?"

"Huh?" Oda Seiji was surprised after hearing my words.

With another disdainful smile, I immediately gathered all my aura. At this moment, golden light emanated from my body, and golden glint shone in my eyes. A golden dragon coiled around my aura, and my voice descended like a celestial being, "Oda Seiji, you are merely a lowly Golden Core cultivator. How dare you offend me? In my eyes, you are nothing but an ant. I can kill you without breaking a sweat."

"Huh?" Oda Seiji was surprised again after hearing my words.
