As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was shocked; no one had expected that the person who attempted to assassinate Master Yi Chen was none other than the Poisonous Scorpion, the Second Master of the Xiao Dao Society. At this, the gamblers who had been clamoring for revenge on behalf of Master Yi Chen dared not speak anymore.

The Xiao Dao Society was the local snakehead of Guiyuan City; by provoking them here, one was essentially seeking a burial-less death.

"Which eye of yours saw me trying to assassinate you?" Poisonous Scorpion sat in his chair, responding coolly.

Now, his only concern was the expert backing Lin Yifan. If that expert were here, he would not dare to act rashly.

"You despicable coward! How dare you do the deed and not own up." Yi Chen, grinding his teeth in hatred, became more and more furious; his hands throbbed with visible veins, filled with energy. He looked like an arrow poised to launch, ready to shoot out at the slightest release.

It was the first time the gamblers had seen Master Yi Chen so enraged, which attested to the reality of the situation.

"Evidence is paramount in every matter; without it, one cannot simply make baseless accusations." Poisonous Scorpion continued to handle the situation with calm, curious to see what sort of tricks this Master Yi Chen could pull.

"Do we even need evidence? We both know the truth. Tell me, why did you want to kill me?" Yi Chen asked again.

"I didn't kill you, believe it or not," Poisonous Scorpion insisted firmly.

If he admitted to killing Yi Chen, no one would come here for underground boxing or gambling anymore; who would dare to fight or gamble in such a murky place? They wouldn't even know how they died or lost.

"Hmph! What an utterly despicable coward!." Yi Chen issued a harsh threat before leaping into the air and stepping on the corner post of the ring, pushing off with force to jump up to the second floor and commence battle with Poisonous Scorpion.

Even if his opponent was a realm higher, he was determined to fight recklessly for he had to vent this pent-up fury.

Witnessing this swift movement and brave action, all the gamblers present were stunned; the current Master Yi Chen was a complete transformation from his previous self, simply not on the same level.

Moving up a floor effortlessly—such a feat was beyond the capabilities of an ordinary person!

Therefore, they suddenly realized they had been deceived by Master Yi Chen; had they known he was so formidable, they would have bet on him to win much earlier.

"What do you think, who is teaching whom a lesson?" someone raised the question.

"Do you even need to ask? Obviously, it's Brother Scorpion teaching Master Yi Chen a lesson," someone answered without hesitation.

After all, Brother Scorpion's martial arts were widely recognized as formidable in Guiyuan City; even if Master Yi Chen knew martial arts, it wasn't certain he could match him.

"You can't say things so definitively; what if you're wrong, won't you be slapping your own face?" someone disagreed with this view.

For Master Yi Chen to rush up and combat Poisonous Scorpion, he must have been confident.

"Then let's bet on it!"

"Let's bet! Who's afraid of who?"

And so, the arguing gamblers on the first floor began betting again; as long as there was a fight, they bet.

An open space had been cleared out in the stands on the second floor, and at this moment, Master Yi Chen was fiercely battling with Poisonous Scorpion.

After exchanging a few moves, Poisonous Scorpion realized that this monk in the Breaking Mortal Second Realm was not a weak adversary—he had yet to gain any advantage over him.

"Tough bones! What kind of martial arts is this?" Poisonous Scorpion asked curiously.

With every strike, he felt like his fist was hitting steel, and the pain was unbearable.

"You lowlife aren't worthy of knowing," Yi Chen said, and he continued to display his Golden Bell Shield martial arts, charging forward to clash fiercely with Poisonous Scorpion.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After a few more moves, Poisonous Scorpion started to show signs of struggle; his fists were red, and faint traces of blood could be seen on them.

"Damn it! So tough!" Poisonous Scorpion cursed under his breath, then snatched a machete from a lackey nearby and charged back into battle with Yi Chen.

If bare hands weren't enough, then weapons it had to be.

In truth, being hit by someone a realm above him, Yi Chen was also in pain; it's just that his endurance was strong, and he could bear such suffering.

Seeing Poisonous Scorpion resort to a weapon, Yi Chen didn't dodge or shy away, confronting him with his flesh and blood.

In the next moment, when everyone present saw Master Yi Chen use his hand to block the machete swung by Poisonous Scorpion, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

In their understanding, no flesh could stop the slash of a sharp blade, so they all thought Master Yi Chen had gone mad.

However, the next second, the sound of metal clashing rang out, completely overturning their beliefs. Someone actually used their hand to block the slashing machete, would you believe that?

"Monster! A true monster!" Watching this scene, all the gamblers were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Is his body made of diamond, or is he actually a man of steel?" the gamblers wondered, wishing someone could step forward and explain.

At this moment, the most shocked were the lackeys of the Knife Gang; they had truly felt how hard Master Yi Chen's body was, which could be described in four words—solid as a rock.

As the attacker, Poisonous Scorpion was slightly surprised that even a machete couldn't harm his opponent; however, seeing Yi Chen's expression, it seemed it wasn't easy for him either, surely he was suffering quite a bit of pain. With that realization, Poisonous Scorpion wouldn't be disheartened.

Indeed, the force of the machete focused on a small area made it very painful to be chopped; that's why a hammer couldn't break a big tree, but a machete could easily do it, because of the small impact area.

Enduring the pain, Yi Chen seized the chance for a close-quarters attack and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

Instantly, Poisonous Scorpion, unable to dodge in time, was sent flying back. Luckily, he used his cultivation power to negate part of the force, or else he would have been punched to the point of vomiting blood.

"Damn it! Bastard!" Poisonous Scorpion was furious.

It was understandable to be unable to defeat Lin Yifan at the peak of the Breaking Mortal Three Realm, but being unable to defeat Master Yi Chen of the Breaking Mortal Second Realm was a bit too much. Stabilizing himself, he erupted with strength once more, swinging the machete in attack.

This time, Yi Chen no longer acted recklessly and began to dodge. The chop earlier had injured his arm, indicating that his body was not hard enough yet to recklessly block attacks from someone of a higher realm.

"Whoosh!"

The machete came down, missing its target; adjusting his stance, Poisonous Scorpion, filled with rage, attacked again.

Yi Chen continued to dodge, looking for an opportunity to counter.

The battle raged on upstairs, while downstairs the gamblers' hearts were in their throats. Now with Poisonous Scorpion matching Yi Chen evenly, neither gaining the upper hand, it was hard to determine the winner.
