In the arena, people saw an amazing scene.
Shan Tingyan, who was the pride of the Shan Family, was lying head down in the arena. She was held down by Li Mu with one foot and was struggling for her life.
Li Mu, the despised second son of the Li Family, was holding a big gun in his hand. The tip of the gun was against the back of the heart of Shan Tingyan. He was looking at the Shan Family maliciously.
Several martial artists of the Shan Family immediately rushed into the arena, intending to get her back.
Li Mu bellowed, “If you dare to move, I’ll kill her immediately.”
Li Mu was surrounded by several people who didn’t dare to move.
An old man from the Shan Family hurriedly shouted, “Don’t be impulsive. Let her go. Don’t hurt her.”
Li Mu sneered at him, “Are you a fool? You are old but unreasonable. Let me ask you. Is this an arena?”
The old man glared at him but didn’t answer the question.
People of the Li Family had already sobered up from the shock. Many of them responded loudly, “It’s the arena. You can’t afford to lose. Brother Mu, kill her.”
Li Mu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and continued to ask the old man, “Did you hear clearly? Since this is the arena, why can’t I kill her?”
The old man said in a low voice, “It was your family that proposed changing. You can’t break your words.”
“Nonsense. Did you guys agree to change?”
The old man didn’t say anything.
Li Mu continued, “Even if you agreed, today it’s my turn. Therefore, it’s not a violation for us to make a temporary change.”
“Yes, we didn’t break the rules.”
“People of the Shan Family are shameless. You have disgraced your ancestors.”
Now people of the Li Family were in high spirits and were not depressed. They were all very excited and had been taunting the Shan Family.
A middle-aged man beside the old man, who had been anxiously staring at the stage, suddenly thought of something and hurriedly whispered a few words in the old man’s ear.
The old man nodded slightly and then said to Li Mu, “Li Mu, we can accept losing the competition but we can only accept it in a proper and open competition. You took advantage of Shan Tingyan’s unpreparedness to conduct a sneak attack and win. It’s not fair.”
Li Mu laughed, “Well. Do you guys think it’s not fair? Fine, I can let go of her and fight her squarely. What do you think?”
The Shan Family was relieved. They believed that Shan Tingyan could defeat Li Mu and Li Mu just took advantage of her unpreparedness to sneak in and win. They were very happy to accept the suggestion now.
The Li Family was astonished. To be honest, even if Li Mu controlled Shan Tingyan, the Li Family didn’t think he could win. Like the Shan Family, they also thought that Li Mu had won by a sneak attack. If they were to fight properly, he would not be able to beat her at all.
Many Li Family members shouted and urged Li Mu to kill Shan Tingyan to end the competition and revenge for his brother.
The ones who shouted the most loudly were Li Mu’s mother and sisters. They were afraid that he would let Shan Tingyan go on impulse. She had always been arrogant. Therefore, after the humiliation, she wouldn’t give up.
But the Shan Family seized the opportunity. The old man hurriedly said, “Li Mu, I hope you will do what you say and hold a fair fight with her. If she’s skill is not as good as you, our Shan Family will never have any complaints about whatever you want to do.”
“Okay. I can have another fight with her but you must first promise me one thing, or else I will kill her right now.”
“What is the condition?”
“It’s very easy. I will stand in this arena within three days and accept the challenges from all the Shan Family members, one or a group. There is no limit. If I lose, I will do as you asked. If I win, the two families must reunite and swear never to fight each other again.”
There was silence. Everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot, including people from the Li Family, who were sure that he had become stupid because of that serious illness.
Suddenly, people burst into laughter. Firstly, one or two people laughed, and then it evolved into a roar of laughter.
Those who laughed at Li Mu were the Shan Family and other people. The Li Family didn’t laugh but looked at Li Mu with anxiety, confused about whether he was sober or foolish.
Li Mu wasn’t annoyed. Until the crowd had laughed enough, he asked, “Well, are the Shan Family all cowards? Are you afraid to agree to such a condition?”
When the Shan Family heard this, they immediately scolded him.
The old man raised his hand and said in a deep voice, “Young boy, you are really too arrogant. I suggest you change a condition.”
“Okay, I have one more condition. I will kill this bitch first, and then kill your whole family. Do you agree to this one?”
There was another noise. Almost all the Shan Family members were cursing. If not for their concerns, they would like to kill him right now.
The old man was furious and said, “Young boy, since you want to die, I can help you. I accept your condition. Let her go now. And if you have any ideas, just wait until you defeat her.”
Li Mu said nothing. He moved his feet and stepped back, throwing the gun aside.
Shan Tingyan jumped up from the ground and hit Li Mu without speaking.
Li Mu also didn’t hide, waiting for her fist. He quickly reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist.
Then he used one hand to throw Shan Tingyan offstage.
Amidst the shouts of shock, Shan Tingyan stood up again with a red face due to the disgrace. She jumped back onto the stage and lunged at Li Mu again.
Li Mu smiled contemptuously and easily stood behind her. Then he lifted his foot and kicked her down to the stage from the back.
It was a heavy fall. Shan Tingyan struggled for a few seconds and couldn’t get up. People around her rushed to help her up and glared at Li Mu.
There were several other martial artists from the Shan Family standing on the stage, staring at him. They didn’t know what they should do.
They didn’t think about what to do but Li Mu began to take action.
Li Mu suddenly began to fight. The crowd felt nothing but giddiness and then they saw several martial artists were smashed viciously under the stage one by one.
Little Brother Li clapped his hands and said indifferently, “From now on, this arena belongs to me. And you, the losers can challenge me at will. In three days, if you can’t beat me, do what I say. If you don’t obey me, I will kill you all.”
No one dared to laugh or scold. Everyone stared at him in awe. And the scene was instantly quiet.
Immediately, the Li Family burst into cheers.
“Brother Mu, bravo.”
“Fighting.”
The Li Family has finally won. For so many years, they had been suppressed by the Shan Family. Despite their great efforts, they were still helpless.
Everyone didn’t expect that this young master, who was not looked upon by everyone, had saved the Li Family and made the Li Family finally become proud.
The Shan Family gradually calmed down. People who practice martial arts had their own pride. And as this was a matter of family honor, who would be willing to back down?
Without the old man’s command, all the martial artists have come up to the stage to fight. But all of them were kicked out of the arena one by one by Li Mu, with injuries.
The busiest people were the servants and women of the Shan Family, who were busy taking the wounded to their homes on stretchers. Within one day, except for a few old people, the rest were women and children.
Li Mu looked at them indifferently and calmly asked, “Do you want to continue the fight?”
The old man clenched his fist and said, “Young Master, you are the most powerful. We are not as good as you. From now on, we are the losers. We don’t need to fight anymore.”
“Okay, since you don’t want to fight, is it the time to consider the conditions I mentioned?”
“Everything is as you want it to be and we will obey it. Thank you for being merciful. I admit the defeat on behalf of the whole Shan Family.”
After saying that, several elders of the Shan Family bowed together and expressed their gratitude to Li Mu.
Their gratitude was heartfelt. With so many fights, Li Mu didn’t kill anyone.
Although they were all wounded, the Shan Family clearly knew that it was easy for Li Mu to kill them and he was serious about killing them all.
And they clearly knew why Li Mu wanted to do this. It’s to let the Li Family vent their grievances. After all, over the years, the Li Family sacrificed more people than them. If the Li Family didn’t vent their anger, they wouldn’t agree to reconciliation.
“Nice.” Li Mu said loudly, “The ancestors of the two families were originally close friends. But only because of the differences in perceptions, there was disharmony between the descendants. We, the descendants, should have set things right and discarded misunderstandings. We shouldn’t let unnecessary sacrifices continue and leave future generations without peace.”
Then Li Mu deliberately looked at the Li Family and found that his relatives were also listening carefully. No one dared to refute his words.
Little Brother Li sighed to himself that it was really a powerful person who had the right to speak. If he dared to say these words a few days ago, let alone that the Shan Family would not pay attention to him, even his own family would think he was treacherous.
But now, he used his absolute strength to defeat everyone. People obeyed him and no one would dare to scorn his words anymore.
“You are all very smart and know that what I say is true. But because of your dignity and ancestral teachings, you don’t dare to say it. Today, I said it for you. But now, anyone who doesn’t agree can come up and challenge at any time. Otherwise, just swear obediently.”
The old man of the Shan Family clenched his fist and said, “The Shan Family all agree and we obey the young master.”
The patriarch of the Li Family also said, “Our Li Family also obey the young master. From now on, he is the Patriarch of the Li Family and his words represent the attitude of the Li Family.”
The leaders of the two families came to the stage together and took a blood oath to make peace with each other under the witness of all the villagers. From now on, the rules of martial arts competition inherited from the ancestors were completely abolished.
