Lin Tian's face immediately fell.
While he had been very critical of Bai Zifei when reporting him, speaking ill of him nonstop, like a sow wearing a bra – a whole array of tricks.
In reality...
Bai Zifei, that ruthless individual who killed without batting an eye and acted without reservation, had long since terrified Lin Tian into submission.
However, he dared not defy the beautiful woman's wishes...
"Your subordinate will attend to it at once!"
Lin Tian gritted his teeth and agreed.
Soon, he had prepared an invitation letter and, following the information from his informant, headed towards Ji Xueyun's base.
Half an hour later, he arrived.
"Lin Tian, an executive of Zuixian Tower, requests an audience!"
Lin Tian's voice trembled slightly.
At Zuixian Tower earlier, he had only faced Bai Zifei.
But now...
He had come to the opponent's headquarters, feeling somewhat like a lamb walking into a tiger's den.
Bai Zifei and Ji Xueyun came out together.
Seeing him,
Bai Zifei said with a half-smile, "You actually dare to come here."
"What, are you going to show me some colors?"
Bai Zifei's scalp tingled under his gaze, and upon hearing this, a chill ran from his nether regions, up his spine, and to the crown of his head.
Cold sweat soaked his undershirt.
Urine drenched the central axis of his crotch.
He gulped, finding his throat to be incredibly dry. "Mr. Bai, Miss Mingyue, the Pavilion Master of Mingyue Pavilion, requests your presence!"
Saying this,
Lin Tian handed the invitation letter to Bai Zifei and then fled the scene of trouble as if his pants were on fire.
Bai Zifei watched his retreating figure and chuckled.
He opened the invitation letter and glanced at it.
It was an invitation for him to visit Mingyue Pavilion's headquarters, Mingyue Tower, that evening.
"Little Junior Brother."
"You killed people at Zuixian Tower and taught them a lesson, undoubtedly forging an enmity with Mingyue Tower."
"Yet Dongfang Mingyue invites you at this moment..."
"Clearly, her intentions are not good."
Ji Xueyun narrowed her eyes. "When you go tonight, bring a few capable subordinates, and I will lead an army to support you from behind!"
Bai Zifei shook his head.
"Second Senior Sister, there's no need for such trouble."
"The world is vast, but who can stop Bai Zifei if I wish to leave?"
"If the people of Mingyue Tower dare to play tricks, I will turn this place upside down and tear down Mingyue Tower!"
His words were full of heroic spirit and unparalleled dominance.
Ji Xueyun considered this.
Especially recalling Bai Zifei's terrifying track record, she realized he was right...
In fact, she even felt a bit of pity for Dongfang Mingyue.
The suggestion was thus withdrawn.
Time quickly passed, and night arrived.
A lone moon hung high in the sky.
Bai Zifei left his Second Senior Sister's base and headed west, going to face his fate alone!
Half an hour later, he arrived.
Mingyue Tower was indeed grand and magnificent.
The very gate alone...
was crafted from priceless blue-gold stone!
Inside, it was even more opulent, reaching a state of extreme wealth.
However.
Before Bai Zifei could admire it, someone blocked his path.
"Mingyue Tower, Cheng Hu."
The man was over two meters tall.
His upper body was bare, revealing powerful muscles and numerous scars.
His tiger-like eyes glowed intensely, exuding an oppressive aura that made it impossible to meet his gaze.
He cupped his fists towards Bai Zifei and said, "Mr. Bai, please impart your wisdom!"
Bai Zifei smiled faintly.
His gaze swept past Cheng Hu to the many people behind him.
They were lined up, some meditating with their eyes closed, others staring at Bai Zifei with ill intent, their intentions all too obvious.
A war of attrition, a show of force!
"Hmph!"
Cheng Hu roared, his iron fist descending like a tiger from the mountain.
Bai Zifei, too lazy to waste time, raised his hand and threw a punch as well.
This punch...
appeared ordinary but carried half of Bai Zifei's strength, generating a fearsome wind and thunderous momentum.
Rumble!
Two fists collided, the brave one wins!
Without question, Cheng Hu's fist was shattered by Bai Zifei's single blow. The man himself was sent flying backward, landing on the ground, his fate unknown.
An instant kill!
The martial artists behind him were all shocked.
They were all hired thugs of Mingyue Tower, just like Cheng Hu, so they had some understanding of each other's strength.
Although Cheng Hu was the first, he was not the weakest.
Yet, he was killed by a single punch from Bai Zifei...
Underestimation was not an option.
The second man immediately leaped forward, somersaulted three times in mid-air, and landed in front of Bai Zifei, speaking in a deep voice, "I am..."
As soon as he started speaking,
Bai Zifei interrupted dismissively.
"Stop dawdling, all of you. Come at me together!"
Instantly.
Everyone was enraged.
This was contempt, a provocation that challenged the dignity of all of them!
At once, their eyes blazed with anger!
"Can't you hear me?"
Bai Zifei's lips curled, his disdain so obvious on his face. "Are the people of your Mingyue Tower hard of hearing, or what?"
This time.
No one could hold back.
"Arrogant!"
"Presumptuous!"
"You're courting death!"
"Bai Zifei, you..."
All the experts, without exception.
Gritted their teeth and charged forward, determined to teach Bai Zifei an unforgettable lesson.
Bai Zifei stood undeterred.
He even closed his eyes.
This was undoubtedly another act of contempt.
Everyone's footsteps quickened.
Suddenly, seven or eight of them reached him.
In an instant.
Fists like sandbags, swords flashing with cold light, and palm strikes of extreme sharpness...
Whoosh!
Bai Zifei's eyes snapped open.
A beam of light flashed across the sky, illuminating half of the night.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Simultaneously, countless golden lights pierced the night sky, like comets trailing golden tails, precisely hitting each person.
Not a single one missed!
Clatter!
Bang!
These experts all fell to the ground in unison, their lives extinguished.
At Mingyue Tower.
Lin Tian saw Bai Zifei enter from the main gate through a window and immediately reported to Dongfang Mingyue, "Pavilion Master, Bai Zifei has arrived."
"Oh?"
Dongfang Mingyue raised her eyebrows, a smile curving her lips, incredibly charming. "Tell me, how long do you think it will take him to get past the Eighteen Arhats?"
Lin Tian pondered for a moment and confidently said, "Although Bai Zifei is strong, the Eighteen Arhats are not to be trifled with."
"Each of them is a carefully selected master, one in a hundred!"
"For Bai Zifei to defeat them all will undoubtedly be a great challenge."
"At least... it will take ten minutes!"
However.
Before he finished speaking.
A voice came from the doorway, laced with deep disdain.
"You call this a challenge?"
Lin Tian and Dongfang Mingyue immediately looked up.
A white figure strode into the room, his face calm and composed. It was none other than Bai Zifei!
Lin Tian's face immediately darkened.
It was as if... he had swallowed a wad of O-li-ge and it was stuck in his throat.
Dongfang Mingyue was also surprised by Bai Zifei's speed, a flicker of surprise in her beautiful eyes.
Clap, clap, clap!
Dongfang Mingyue clapped her hands three times, revealing a charming smile. "Mr. Bai is indeed divinely powerful and extraordinary."
Bai Zifei smiled faintly.
He knew very well that Dongfang Mingyue's invitation was likely not just to praise him.
Dongfang Mingyue was unconcerned.
She turned and poured two cups of wine, taking one for herself and offering the other to Bai Zifei.
Then, she smiled shallowly, her eyes sparkling alluringly.
"Mr. Bai."
"My subordinates were rude at Zuixian Tower earlier, please forgive us."
"This cup of wine..."
"Consider it Mingyue's apology to Mr. Bai!"
With that, she drained her cup.
Dongfang Mingyue's voice was like falling pearls, clear and pleasant, already captivating, but after draining the cup, her face flushed, and she exuded a thousand charms.
Bai Zifei, feeling a bit disoriented, also picked up his cup and drank it.
A subtle hint of triumph flashed in Dongfang Mingyue's eyes.
She moved closer to Bai Zifei, slung an arm around his neck, and whispered into his ear, her breath like orchids, "Mr. Bai, were my courtesies sufficient?"
Where Bai Zifei could not see,
Dongfang Mingyue smiled triumphantly.
After drinking this aphrodisiac wine, combined with her seductive arts...
It would be enough to make Bai Zifei her slave, completely at her mercy from then on.
However, at that moment.
Bai Zifei slapped her, sending Dongfang Mingyue flying.
In her shocked and furious gaze, Bai Zifei smiled, his eyes instantly becoming incredibly clear. "This love poison of yours isn't even worthy of being a stepping stone for a tiny poisoner, yet you dare to flaunt it before me?"
As his words fell.
Bai Zifei flashed forward and grabbed Dongfang Mingyue by the neck.
