Chapter 16: Sneak Attack

"It seems that I am really unpopular."

Hearing those words, Chu Fengmian smiled bitterly.

No one in the inner and outer houses of the Lin Mansion supported Chu Fengmian and wanted him to win.

The reason why these inner and outer house disciples of the Lin Mansion targeted Chu Fengmian was actually just one thing, that is jealousy.

They were jealous of Chu Fengmian's life experience and why Chu Fengmian, a waste who had not become a warrior, could become the chief steward of the outer house of the Lin Mansion.

Because of this, they were more or less hostile to Chu Fengmian.

"Fengmian, why did you agree to go on the life and death stage with Li Xing?"

Not far from the life and death stage, an old man suddenly ran over and looked at Chu Fengmian with a sad face.

"I heard that you have made some progress in your strength now, but Li Xing is at the seventh level of the Bone Tempering Realm, two levels higher than you. You will never have a chance of winning against him."

"You'd better not go to the life and death stage this time. If you really want to deal with Li Xing, it won't be too late to deal with him after a few years when your strength has improved."

"In a while, you will go with me to apologize to the mansion master and say that it was a slip of the tongue. You must not go to the life and death stage."

Although the old man's voice was urgent, Chu Fengmian could still hear the concern in it.

"Uncle Lin, I said this myself, there is no reason to swallow it back."

Chu Fengmian looked at the old man in front of him and said softly.

"Besides, I may not be afraid of Li Xing."

The old man in front of him was the third elder of the Lin Mansion, and the only one in the Lin Mansion who was kind to Chu Fengmian.

This third elder was a good friend of Chu Fengmian's grandfather. Chu Fengmian was able to become the chief steward of the outer mansion of the Lin Mansion because of the words of this third elder to the mansion master.

Now hearing the words of the third elder, although tough, the concern contained in it also warmed Chu Fengmian's heart. Apart from his former master and senior brothers, this was the first time that someone else cared about him.

"Uncle Lin, don't worry. Since I have agreed, I will not be afraid of Li Xing."

Chu Fengmian said calmly. The confidence contained in this tone made the third elder look at Chu Fengmian in surprise.

When did the weak and humble Chu Fengmian have such confidence?

Although the third elder had heard the rumors about Chu Fengmian a long time ago, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

"Well, Fengmian, you are worthy of the blood of the Chu family and the grandson of Senior Chu."

The third elder looked at Chu Fengmian a few times, but still did not stop Chu Fengmian.

Standing aside, watching Chu Fengmian, walking towards the life and death stage.

"Humph, I thought you didn't dare to come."

On the life and death stage, Li Xing had already stood in it, watching Chu Fengmian slowly approaching, with a bit of a sneer on his face.

"Usually you hide in the Lin Mansion, and I just don't have a chance. Today, since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish."

"Stop talking nonsense and sign it."

Chu Fengmian glanced at Li Xing and said coldly.

There is no point in the verbal dispute for a while.

"Okay! It seems that you really want to die quickly!"

Li Xing said angrily.

"Sign the life and death agreement!"

"Once this life and death agreement is signed, life and death are decided by God, and only one person can leave this life and death stage. Do you know?"

An old man from the Lin Mansion said coldly.

This old man is the law enforcement elder of the Lin Mansion, and the life and death stage has always been presided over by him.

As his voice came, two chapters of talisman paper also appeared in front of the two.

This talisman paper contains spiritual power, recording everything that happened.

"Okay!"

Chu Fengmian signed his name without any hesitation.

Li Xing, who was on the other side, also signed his name almost at the same time.

At the moment he signed his name, several silver needles suddenly shot out from Li Xing's hand.

Flying towards Chu Fengmian.

These silver needles were extremely fast, and there was a layer of green spiritual power on them, which was blessed by Li Xing's spiritual power.

"Silver Soul Needle!"

"Despicable, it turned out to be such a sinister method?"

Seeing the sudden appearance of the silver needle, some Lin Mansion disciples in the stands couldn't help but speak out.

"Li Xing's strength is already above Chu Fengmian, and now he is using the Silver Soul Needle to sneak attack!"

When Li Xing was standing on the life and death stage waiting just now, he had already secretly hidden the silver needle in his hand. When he signed his name, he suddenly shot it out.

No one expected that Li Xing would resort to such despicable means.

"Feng Mian!"

The Third Elder on the stand had a changed expression.

This Soul Silver Needle is not an ordinary thing. It is a middle-grade yellow-level spiritual weapon. Once it is inserted, the Bone Tempering Realm will be almost unable to resist it.

"Law Enforcement Elder, this is a bit too despicable! Li Xing had already made a trick before he started."

The third elder couldn't help but say that, his body moved, and he wanted to rush to the life and death stage.

"Why do you say that, third elder? Once you sign the life and death agreement on the life and death stage, life and death are determined by fate. Chu Fengmian didn't make any preparations, so can you blame our Li Xing for being prepared?"

Another old man sneered at the side.

This old man is the fifth elder of the Lin Mansion, the head of the Li family, and now Li Xing's grandfather.

"If you ask me, this can only be that Chu Fengmian is stupid. He didn't make any preparations on the life and death stage, and he deserved to die."

"This life and death stage is a matter between the two of them. Outsiders cannot participate in it. The third elder should just watch quietly."

Although the fifth elder's tone was calm, everyone could hear the smugness in his tone.

The law enforcement elder heard the fifth elder's words and nodded slightly. Although Li Xing's behavior was not right, it was indeed a life and death battle. What were these means?

For a warrior, as long as he can win, all means are nothing.

On the life and death stage, those few soul silver needles were about to fly in front of Chu Fengmian.

"Chu Fengmian, I know you have trained a body movement, which is very difficult to deal with, but today I want to see whether your body movement is faster or my soul silver needle is faster!"

Li Xing laughed.

He was not prepared to fight with Chu Fengmian from the beginning. Even if he was confident in his own strength, he was very afraid of Chu Fengmian's phantom body movement.

Now he is using the soul silver needle to kill Chu Fengmian directly.

The soul silver needle contains a paralyzing toxin, as long as it is inserted into the body, it will paralyze the body.

Then he will be at the mercy of others.

"Do you think that this small soul silver needle can deal with Chu?"

Suddenly Chu Fengmian's eyes became serious. Almost all the disciples of the Lin Mansion present did not expect that Chu Fengmian had such a serious side.

Chu Fengmian suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist. With a few flashes of sword light, the silver needles were cut off one by one and fell to the ground.
