Then, his gaze swept across the audience.
Finally, he stopped at Li Yuan and laughed, "Li Yuan, you want me to fight against many opponents, why don't you go up yourself? Are you afraid? Or are you pushing others onto the stage so you can sit back and watch the tigers fight?"
Li Yuan suddenly stood up, jumped onto the stage, and sneered, "Since Grand Tutor Li thinks so highly of himself, I, Li Yuan, will oblige. However, if I accidentally injure you, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword."
Li Yao snorted and ignored Li Yuan, instead turning his gaze to someone next to Tian Dan.
He smiled slightly and said, "You are one of the Sword Saint's disciples, Zhongsun Xuanhua, right? Your fellow disciple Han Jie has already taken to the stage, so don't just stand by and watch."
Zhongsun Xuanhua pondered for a moment, then jumped onto the stage and laughed, "Alright, I'll join in the fun too."
Then, Li Yao's gaze fell on Xu Xian, and he said, "General Xu, you should be included too."
Xu Xian was taken aback, not expecting Li Yao to call his name as well. Seeing that the envoys from the six kingdoms and the swordsmen were all looking at him, he had no choice but to go up as well.
Finally, Li Yao turned his gaze to Lord Longyang and said with a smile, "Lord Longyang, I've heard you're the number one swordsman in Wei. Why don't you join in the fun?"
Longyang Jun smiled charmingly, shook her head slightly and said, "My swordsmanship is mediocre, so I won't join in the fun."
Li Yao said, "Lord Longyang, why be so modest? To be honest, among all these swordsmen, I value your swordsmanship the most."
These words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the other swordsmen who were about to enter the arena.
Longyang Jun looked embarrassed and, noticing the unfriendly gazes from the swordsmen, had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up on the stage.
At this moment, ten famous swordsmen stood opposite Li Yao.
The audience erupted in uproar.
One against ten!
Among them were some of the top swordsmen from the six kingdoms.
Li Yao is too arrogant.
Almost everyone thinks so.
Li Yuan, Xiao Weimou, and the others were secretly delighted.
Li Yao actually wanted to fight ten against one; this wasn't arrogance, it was courting death.
This time, we must make sure Li Yao dies a gruesome death to vent our hatred.
Li Yuan had even come to regard Li Yao as a corpse.
A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked down at Ji Yanran in the audience, only to find that Ji Yanran's gaze was fixed on Li Yao, and her eyes were full of worry.
This fueled Li Yuan's resentment even more.
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
Li Yao has never been afraid of challenges, and even more so, he longs to push the limits.
This was the first time Li Yao had faced so many top-tier experts.
So what?
Life is full of firsts.
Furthermore, the way of martial arts is to dare to challenge limits and to challenge the first time.
Furthermore, Li Yao did not want to accept these people's challenges one by one.
What a waste of time!
It would be better if everyone attacked together; a single battle could remove all their attributes.
Li Yao looked around and smiled faintly, "Come on, what are you waiting for?"
Xiao Weimou was the first to charge at Li Yao with his sword.
Li Yuan gave Dong Luzi a wink, and the two of them attacked Li Yao from the left and right sides.
Li Yao was unfazed. With a clang, he drew his replica Embroidered Spring Blade and engaged the three men in fierce combat.
The flashing blades prevented Li Yuan and his two companions from breaking through Li Yao's defenses.
Xiao Weimou was the most cunning, constantly launching sneak attacks on Li Yao from behind.
However, he was shocked to discover that Li Yao seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; every time he launched a sneak attack, it was neutralized by a sudden flash of a blade.
Seeing that the three of them couldn't defeat Li Yao even when they joined forces, Li Yuan shouted loudly to the other seven people, "What are you all standing there for? Are you afraid of Li Yao?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Sha Xuan of Wei drew his sword and joined the battle.
Subsequently, Fu Jianyin of South Korea and Yan Du of Yan exchanged a glance and also joined the battle.
However, Han Jie, Xu Xian, Zhongsun Xuanhua, and Longyang Jun, confident in their status, did not immediately join the battle.
Now, Li Yao is fighting six opponents at once, and he is still not at a disadvantage.
His figure moved like a phantom, constantly weaving among the six people.
However, Li Yuan and the other six people were unable to get even a fraction of a step closer to him.
The onlookers below the stage held their breath, their eyes following Li Yao's every move.
Such a spectacular fight is probably a once-in-a-century event.
No one wants to miss a single exciting fight scene.
Among the onlookers, Zhao Guoren and Ji Yanran were probably the most excited.
Every time Li Yao delivered a stunning attack, they would erupt in enthusiastic cheers.

Li Yao fought with increasing courage, strength, and excitement.
His blood and energy began to surge.
He wasn't satisfied with fighting six opponents alone.
So, while he was engaged in battle with Li Yuan and his six men, he shouted to Longyang Jun and the others beside him, "Longyang Jun, General Xu, what are you four waiting for? Come on!"
Xu Xian and Han Jie exchanged a glance, then joined the battle.
Then, Zhongsun Xuanhua and Longyang Jun exchanged a glance, both shook their heads slightly, and then joined the battle.
Li Yao was overjoyed and became even more excited.
He was fighting against ten opponents, many of whom were top masters of their time.
Such a spectacular scene is truly rare.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately reached its peak.
The hearts of the onlookers couldn't help but pound.
On the high platform, swords flashed and figures flickered, creating a magnificent and imposing scene.
Swords clashed on the high platform, their clanging sounds creating the feeling of being on a fierce battlefield.
Facing the relentless attacks of ten men, Li Yao showed no fear. His sword strikes were like a raging storm, wave after wave sweeping outwards.
When Li Yao noticed that Dong Luzi was no longer dropping attribute orbs, he kicked Dong Luzi off the platform.
After that, the light orbs stopped falling on Fu Jianyin and Yan Du.
Li Yao kicked both of them off the platform with a single kick.
A moment later, the light orbs stopped falling on Vidal Sassoon and Xu Xian.
Li Yao swung his sword twice, knocking the swords from the hands of the two men.
If you're a swordsman and you don't even have a sword, what's the point of fighting?
Thus, Sha Xuan and Xu Xian slunk away from the platform, which was tantamount to declaring their defeat.
Then, the light orbs on Xiao Weimou's body were also knocked off by Li Yao.
Li Yao was not so polite to this arrogant Wei Mou, who had repeatedly provoked him.
He mustered all his strength and swung his knife with a powerful blow.
The blade made a 'humming' sound as it struck Xiao Weimou's sword.
Xiao Weimou's right hand, which was holding the sword, was suddenly jolted by a powerful force, the sword flew out of his hand, and his right hand was crippled.
Xiao Wei Mou screamed in pain and immediately went berserk, lunging at Li Yao.
Li Yao sighed slightly. "Breaking one of your hands was already merciful enough, yet you still chose to die."
Fine!
Li Yao leaped into the air and kicked out with a flying kick.
Bang!
Xiao Weimou flew backwards like a cannonball.
He finally landed heavily off the stage, bleeding from all seven orifices.
Immediately, two imperial guards carried away Xiao Weimou's body.
The remaining Li Yuan, Han Jie, Zhongsun Xuanhua, and Longyang Jun were all horrified.
They hadn't expected Li Yao to be so powerful.
Even if the Sword Saint were to arrive, he would likely be no match for Li Yao.
At this moment, Zhongsun Xuanhua had already begun to withdraw. He feinted a few moves, threw the object in his hand, rolled backward, and withdrew from the battle, shouting, "I lost."
The onlookers were all in an uproar.
Zhongsun Xuanhua, the esteemed disciple of the Sword Saint, actually conceded defeat on his own.
Subsequently, Han Jie and Lord Longyang followed Zhongsun Xuanhua's example and abandoned their swords to admit defeat.
This made Li Yuan so angry that he was practically fuming.
However, the outcome was already decided, and there was nothing he could do.
Li Yao smiled leisurely and said, "Li Yuan, are you still not going to admit defeat?"
