How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Li Tianci gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Feng, cripple him! That bastard Li Muyun is definitely a piece of trash! Definitely!"

Shi Miaochan sneered from the side, "Ridiculous."

The rest of the crowd stared intently at the training ground, awaiting the duel between the two. Whether the immortal was real or not, a real battle would prove everything.

The two exchanged greetings, and Lin Feng made the first move.

He let out a low shout, gathered his true energy in his fists, and in a flash, he was already in front of Li Muyun.

"Rockfall Fist!"

Lin Feng stomped his foot hard, unleashing all his power from his fists. The surge of true energy made his clothes vibrate and rattle. His fists slammed into Li Muyun's chest like falling stones.

The Falling Rock Fist is a mid-grade human-level martial art, and it is also the most powerful attack method that Lin Feng currently possesses. It is powerful and heavy, and its power is astonishing. Once hit, even someone with a cultivation level slightly higher than Lin Feng will be seriously injured and cough up blood.

The incoming fist gust of wind caused Li Muyun's white robes to flutter wildly. Li Muyun's eyes remained calm. As Lin Feng made his move, he had already been constantly changing hand seals, softly chanting: "Heaven and Earth, the profound origin, the root of all Qi. Cultivate through countless eons, prove my divine powers. Within and without the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme. My body is covered with golden light."

"Buzz!"

A golden light screen appeared beside Li Muyun, seemingly as thin as a cicada's wing, but in reality as hard as diamond!

Lin Feng had no time to change his move; his Falling Rock Fist slammed heavily onto Li Muyun's Golden Light Mantra.

"Crack!"

"Ouch! My hand!"

The sound of bones breaking rang out, and blood splattered everywhere!

Lin Feng's fists were covered in blood, and all the bones in his fingers were broken. He was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground, howling and clutching his hands.

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Muyun unleashed a burst of true energy that swept the screaming Lin Feng away from the arena.

"It's really boring."

Facing an opponent of Lin Feng's caliber, Li Muyun didn't even need to use any magical artifacts; the Golden Light Mantra of Longhu Mountain was enough to inflict a crushing defeat on Lin Feng simply through defense.

The entire arena fell silent, save for Lin Feng's screams.

"Golden Light Spell?"

Li Rentu slowly stood up. This was the first time he had looked directly at Li Muyun, the son who had been called a bastard for more than ten years.

Upon hearing these three words, everyone erupted in uproar.

The name of the Golden Light Mantra is renowned far and wide; it is the signature immortal technique of Longhu Mountain, a legitimate Taoist art and the true essence of immortal techniques.

The magic has been unleashed; there are no further objections!

Li Muyun, the bastard from the Marquis's mansion, is a genuine Foundation Establishment Immortal!

Liu Ruyue's heart sank completely, and the murderous intent in her eyes became more and more obvious. That bitch's son had actually become an immortal!

Li Muyun's gaze slowly swept over the group of young men and women, but no one dared to meet his eyes; they all lowered their heads heavily.

Yuan Wuji announced Li Muyun's victory, ordered the injured Lin Feng to be carried away, and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge Young Master Yun?"

The young people all kept their heads down and remained silent, not even daring to look up at Li Muyun. A Foundation Establishment Realm immortal was comparable to a Di Yuan Martial Master, and anyone who challenged Li Muyun would be inviting humiliation.

Shi Miaochan chuckled, "Weren't you calling me a piece of trash and a bastard just now? Why are you hesitant to challenge me now? What if Young Master Yun is using dirty tricks?"

Everyone was speechless, their faces flushed with shame.

"A bunch of trash! Li Muyun, I challenge you!"

Li Tianci cursed angrily, shoved aside the young people around him, and glared at Li Muyun.

Liu Ruyue frowned and wanted to get up to stop him. How could a ninth-level Martial Apprentice be a match for a Foundation Establishment Immortal? Challenging him now would surely result in defeat.

Rong Momo said from the side, "Madam, there's no need to worry. Young Master Tianci has already mastered that technique, and a few days ago he even prepared the Exploding Yuan Talisman Array for the Elephant Dance Ceremony. Even if that little bastard is an immortal, he'll have to obediently accept his death!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyue relaxed and smiled again. "So that's how it is. Then let's see how this little bastard dies."

......

Yuan Wuji frowned and said, "Young Master Tianci, are you sure you want to challenge Young Master Yun?"

Li Tianci spat and cursed disdainfully, "Young Master Yun? He doesn't deserve it! A bastard, does he really think he's so great?"

He rushed up to Li Muyun and taunted, "You little bastard, I could humiliate you a few months ago, and I can still trample you under my feet now. Come on!"

Scenes from the past surfaced in Li Muyun's mind, especially the humiliation of his mother's memorial tablet shattering during the ancestral worship ceremony, which pierced his heart like a thorn.

Li Muyun's face turned cold, and he said icily, "I accept your challenge."

Yuan Wuji sensed the tension between the two and reminded them, "Both of you are sons of a marquis, so please be careful with your actions. The challenge will now begin."

Li Tianci didn't even bother with formalities, and his true energy exploded!

True Qi emanated from his body, faintly radiating a violent red power. He charged forward like a cannonball. Li Tianci's goal was clear: he absolutely could not give Li Muyun time to chant the Golden Light Mantra and form hand seals.

Moreover, once they get close, the immortal's magical artifacts are extremely easy to accidentally injure him. Without immortal techniques and magical artifacts, Li Muyun is like a toothless tiger, completely at the mercy of the immortal.

In an instant, Li Tianci had already pressed forward, his red true energy becoming even more turbulent, vaguely resembling the shape of a lion or tiger, and his hands flashing with a cold, crimson light.

In the blink of an eye, his hands transformed into claws, leaving afterimages in the air, and continuously clawed towards Li Muyun's chest. "Peak mid-grade human-level martial skill: Hundred Beast Claws!"

Faced with such a swift attack, Li Muyun simply raised his arm, made a hand seal, and a small patch of pale golden light appeared on his arm.

The beast's claws clashed with the golden light spell, producing a metallic clang.

Li Tianci frowned. He hadn't expected that even in such a critical situation, Li Muyun could summon a small patch of golden light to protect himself without chanting a spell.

The spectators were quite surprised; Li Muyun's mastery of the Golden Light Mantra was far greater than they had imagined.

"This little bit of golden light can't stop me! Mad Lion Shatter!"

With a roar, Li Tianci's true energy turned crimson. He clenched his fist tightly, letting out a deep, powerful roar like a lion unleashed from its cage, before unleashing a fierce punch!

"Crash!"

The golden light on Li Muyun's arm shattered into golden specks, barely managing to block the power of Li Tianci's punch.

Li Tianci was overjoyed. Without the golden light protecting him, Li Muyun, who was close at hand, was like a lamb to the slaughter. He let out a low shout, and the true energy on his body once again turned blood red. His one hand transformed into a claw, wrapped in blood-red true energy, resembling a blood claw with a terrifying blood light. He pounced on Li Muyun, and the terrifying blood claw went straight for Li Muyun's throat: "Human-level high-grade martial skill: Fierce Tiger Tear!"

The martial arts technique and cultivation method used by Li Tianci were a set, called "Beast Blood Technique" and "Lion Tiger Blood Killing Strike," which complemented each other and were incredibly powerful. The redder his true energy was, the stronger the power of the martial arts technique. Li Tianci wanted to use this violent suppression and brutal power to tear Li Muyun apart.

Sensing the chilling killing intent, Li Muyun's gaze grew even colder. Just as the blood claw was about to tear his throat apart, his true essence suddenly erupted from his body!

Li Tianci quickly realized he must be seeing things. The figure of Li Muyun in front of him vanished instantly, and then two more Li Muyuns appeared on his left and right.

The two fists of Li Muyun flashed with true energy and simultaneously blasted towards Li Tianci!

"Peak Human-Rank High-Grade Immortal Technique: Illusion Annihilation Fist!"
