Earth Cracking and Mountains Collapsing

The crowd was stunned. Evan Yang, only a sixth-tier Earth-Immortal, was being mocked for his weak cultivation. But with a swift strike, he took down his opponent right then and there.

Boom! The man who had been laughing was sent flying, crashing into a pile of rocks and coughing up blood.

A sixth-tier Earth-Immortal defeating a second-tier Heavenly-Immortal—everyone looked on in disbelief. Leo Li had been delighted to see Evan Yang's low cultivation, but after witnessing such explosive power, he immediately calmed down. Until he knew Evan's true situation, he wasn't going to make a move.

"Thank you," said the Snowveil Star System local gratefully.

Evan Yang nodded, then addressed the crowd: "Anyone else want to risk their life for this man? Fight me first."

His meaning was clear: Evan Yang was taking the Snowveil man's side. The crowd, who had been stirred up, saw no reason to continue and retreated to the side, waiting for death to come.

Seeing the crowd's reaction, Leo Li thought for a moment and said, "Brother, wasn't your move a bit too harsh? He only said a few words." Then he went over to help the injured man up.

At that moment, the injured man's body was broken, and he glared at Evan Yang with furious eyes.

"Harsh? Why didn't you speak up when he just threatened to kill my friend?" Evan Yang knew the man was looking for trouble, so he replied with a cold sneer.

The crowd exchanged looks, feeling that Leo Li had lost face. The Snowveil Star System local glared at Leo and said, "Brother Li, why didn't you speak up for me earlier?"

Leo Li knew he was in the wrong, but he pressed ahead, acting even more unreasonable. He was the strongest here, and with the unrest among the crowd, he could stir up chaos as he pleased.

He smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, you led us to the wrong place and got everyone into this mess—how could I help you now?"

Hector Xiang's anger flared. "I can't believe you're like this! We agreed to cooperate, and now you're smearing my name?"

Leo Li raised his voice, rallying the crowd: "We agreed to cooperate, but you led us to the wrong place and got everyone into this mess! What else can I do? Right, everyone?"

Most of the agitated crowd quickly sided with Leo Li, while only a handful remained with Evan Yang and Hector Xiang.

Evan Yang sneered inwardly: truly sinister.

Leo Li smirked to himself. With most people under his control, killing Evan would be simple, and keeping the woman would be even better. Afterwards, he'd escape with his own method—perfect.

"You?" Hector Xiang looked at the crowd, questioning their stance.

Leo Li laughed, appealing to the crowd: "Brother Xiang, most people agree with me. And you others—will you still follow him if I can get everyone out?"

Leo Li's supporters cheered, eagerly asking, "Captain Li, do you really have a way out?"
