104. Spping Faces is More Fun Than Hitting People, Hehehe!

  Yet, despite everything, Li Aozi remained calm. He found a young man who didn’t look like a swordsmith and bought something from him that could hardly be called a ‘on.’

  It was a bronze greatsword resembling a box, covered with dark gold mysterious ruhe hilt was even chipped in pces. At 1.5 meters

  long, it looked more like a fttened iron bar than a sword, though it was finely crafted and would make a nice decoration.

  Law III sent the image bae for expert evaluation, and the experts' feedback was surprisingly good: “An excellent piece of craftsmanship with good iment potential, valued at least at 2 million Debis.”

  “Only 2 million,” one of the Law III agents scoffed.

  That was nothing pared to the items Yanagimon had chosen.

  Aside from 'Tsu: Shadow's Edge' and this on called ‘Dust-Sealed Sanctuary,’ the rest of Li Aozi’s seles had low value.

  Even mhably, Li Aozi had already prepaid for those two ons, directly buying them, whily made people chuckle—this behavior clearly exposed Li Aozi’s thinking: he believed the eight pieces of junk he picked were worth more thawo most valuable items.

  “No doubt, that’s the mi of a gambler.”

  “He’s already lost. Puy, that’s 1.9 billion Debis…”

  “Though, with looks like his, money probably isn’t a . After all, he’s Li Aozi.”

  Li Aozi pushed his cart to the judges’ table, joining Yanagimon for the appraisal. pared to the smug Yanagimon, even the judges couldn’t help but subtly remind Li Aozi:

  “Your taste i two ons is pretty good.”

  The implication was clear—the ht were garbage, not worth their time.

  “I know. These are my choices. I trust in Tianhuan craftsmanship.”

  Li Aozi’s calm attitude made the judges shake their heads. Seeing his determination, they began the official appraisal.

  Li Aozi’s evaluation was quick, and within a mihe total value was announced: 3.3 billion Tianhuan Zhub, roughly 17 million Debis. Surprisingly, it wasn’t bad; one of the sets was undervalued, and Li Aozi had s at a dist, worth 7 million Debis.

  The two "masterpiece" ons Li Aozi picked together were valued at 9 million Debis.

  Li Aozi wasn’t surprised by the results—ordinary people couldn’t activate or prehend the true value of "masterpieces."

  Since Li Aozi had already paid for the st two ons, they were handed directly to him. As for the remaining 8 million Debis worth of ons, acc to the rules, the victor would cover the cost.

  , it was Yanagimon’s turn. The judges gave Li Aozi a sympathetic look before announg:

  “Wind Demon Scythe Weasel Greatbow, plus 20 matg arrows, total: 20 billion Zhub.”

  “Famed Sword: Bck Autumn Silhouette, 9.3916 billion Zhub.”

  “Hundred-Eyed Butterfly K, 6.9 billion Zhub.”

  …………

  “Total: 106.85 billion Zhub. Yanagimon Shinsuke, you have excellent taste.”

  Yanagimon’s smile widehings were going eveer than expected—this amouo a whopping 5 billion Debis!

  “No doubt about it, I’ve won pletely.”

  He fidently approached Li Aozi, mogly saying:

  “Surely, someone of your Red Arrow status won’t dodge or run from paying, right?”

  Li Aozi remained calm: “I won’t.”

  “Ah, as expected of an imperial citizen. With estates and mansions, you don’t even blink at losing billions.”

  He moved clleefully whispering:

  “By the way, Li-san, today we have the grand onmyoji, shrine maidens, and the stro Gamma-tier warriors in the try here. You might want to resider running from this huge debt.”

  “Is that so?” Li Aozi smiled. “Are you so sure you’ve won?”

  “Of course,” Yanagimon spread his hands. “I’ve won fair and square, with so many withis is strength!”

  Li Aozi g him: “Aren’t you worried that your aight ruin uests' perceptions of the Kowloon Gathering? By doing this, you’re telling everyohat Tianhuan has an unfair adva iios, using this method to make others pay for you—don’t you think that’s a bit shameless?”

  “Only cowards care about others’ opinions. Unfortunately, I’m the stronger pyer in this game.”

  Yanagimon Shinsuke sneered, releasing his peak Beta-tier aura without reservation. The oppressive force caused many present to reastinctively, watg him cautiously as if fag a predator.

  He leaned down, speaking to Li Aozi with disdain:

  “I’m a Beta-tier elite, a retainer of the Hojo family. Both my strength and power surpass yours. Pay up, you pretty vase. Tianhuan isn’t a pce for your imperial kind.”

  “So, you’re saying it’s acceptable for the strong to win by unfair rules?”

  “And what if I am?” Yanagimon shrugged. “The strong are always justified—”

  Before he could finish, golden rings rapidly expanded in Li Aozi’s pupils.

  “Kneel.”

  Thud!

  Eighty times gravity instantly crashed down, making every bone in Yanagimon’s body unbearably heavy. No human could withstand Li Aozi’s and, and his fragile knees buckled, def uhe pressure. Even as a Beta-tier peak samurai, he had no ce to resist.

  Yanagimon’s knees smmed into the ground, his clothes ging to his back, shredded by the sheer force. His body was nearly fttened, and white mist sprayed from his pores—his body fluids evaporating uhe pressure.

  “Ugh—”

  Though physically strong, Yanagimon didn’t die on the spot, but his eyes bulged from his head in horror. The immense pressure had aged him fifty years in an instant. He stared at Li Aozi in terror, letting out a desperate, hoarse scream:

  “What are you doing?! Are all Red Arrow people barbarians who ’t accept defeat?!”

  The security guards, seeing such a sudden ge, panicked and hurried to tact the Gamma-tier warriors.

  Sensing this, Yanagimon tried to buy time, shouting:

  “This is the sacred Kowlooival! The grand onmyoji and shrine maidens are here, and so is the King of the Ring! Are y to pletely destroy the Red Arrow Empire’s reputation?!”

  Li Aozi lifted his foot, stepping on Yanagimon’s bowed head:

  “How odd. Wasn’t it you who said ‘only cowards care about others’ opinions’ just now?”

  “Y-You’re just a sore loser—”

  “Sore loser? Who said I lost? If I had lost, how could I possibly be standing over the head of a so-called victor?”

  Tilting his head, Li Aozi calmly turo the judges' table and said:

  "Judges, the total value of my selected items is 3.3 billion plus 106 billion Zhub. Clearly, I’ve won."

  As he spoke, Li Aozi used gravity to pull all of Yanagimon’s chosen ons to his feet:

  "Mr. Yanagimon was kind enough to pick out all these treasures for me, and now he's even using his hair to my shoes. He’s really so ge makes me want to cry."

  "You!" Yanagimon was stunned.

  This was ht absurdity... calling a deer a horse, turning bto white—it was robbery!

  "Tell me, did I lose?"

  Li Aozi spread his hands, ily asking:

  "Where did I lose?"

  The Law III agents were surprised but found this development favorable to their cause, chug quietly.

  "This works too, let the world see that Li Aozi is just a savage, unreasonable bandit!"

  Yanagimon, still pinned under Li Aozi’s foot, tried tle and argue, but Li Aozi suddenly said something cryptic:

  "Indeed, I am a barbarian."

  The moment, Yanagimon’s wisted, and his entire body was ftteo the ground. Under 180 times gravity, he was crushed into a bloody smear, his flesh and blood slowly seeping into the soil, the air filling with the stench of blood.

  The entire Kowloon Gathering fell into a deathly silence.

  Everyoared at Li Aozi. The intense visual impad the overwhelming bloodshed left many pletely stunned.

  Their first rea was disbelief: How could someone kill at Tianhuan’s most sacred festival?

  Their sed rea was to run: How could someone kill at Tianhuan’s most sacred festival?!

  Gamma-tier auras instantly filled the venue, and four powerful presences locked onto Li Aozi. Even the Law III agents stopped hiding and immediately sent messages to call in reinforts.

  "Madman!"

  Someoiced Li Aozi’s eyes turning red and bd screamed in terror:

  "He has the curse! Run!"

  "You’ve e this far." Li Aozi smiled, raising his hand. "Why not stay for a little chat before leaving?"

  【Dominator Form Activated】

  Red-bck crystalline spikes sprouted and grew, bone armor spreading like a web across his body. Crimson cracks erupted with searing fmes, and yers of stohered like armor, f a knightly appearance. In an instant, the armor turned deathly gray, with tendrils ing around the joints, and ahereal stardust-like glow enveloped the exterior.

  【Dominate All】

  "Xia Jianjing, I’ve bought us some time. Your turn."

  Li Aozi gave a quick order into his terminal, then looked up to the sky.

  In the sky, famma-tier powerhouses rose, but they didn’t immediately attack. Instead, they called out cautiously: "Li Aozi, we invited you as a guest to our festival, a you’ve tur into a bloodbath. You’d better have an expnation!"

  "An expnation?" Li Aozi shrugged. He reached out, grabbing the two "masterpiece" ons in each hand:

  "Fine, I’ll tell the truth."

  He gave a slight smirk and, in a very calm and sione, said:

  "Gentlemen, the truth is, I came here to rob you."

  The moment, Li Aozi raised his hand and smmed it down, unleashing gravity that crushed everyohin a 50-meter radius to the ground. He roared:

  "Long live the garbage! Anaerobic spirit forever! Tianhuan scum, yranddaddy from the outside world has arrived!"
