"Our luck is really quite good, to think we could intercept two Nine-Star Dou Zun right here, wouldn't you say, Brother?"

A playful voice echoed in the ears of Xiao Lin and Ji Li.

"It is indeed exceptionally good luck, remember the last time we blocked this path when the fair ended, we didn't even see a single shadow, persistence truly pays off after all!"

A second voice, filled with a sense of gratification, rang out at the same time. Concurrently, two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, suddenly materialized in front of Xiao Lin and Ji Li.

It was not difficult to gather from their dialogue that when the previous Spatial Trade Fair ended, they had already waited here like a farmer waiting for a hare, blocking people once before.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao Lin's eyebrows twitched, and something instantly clicked in his mind, causing him to subconsciously glance at Ji Li. However, Xiao Lin still maintained an unperturbed demeanor.

After all, if his speculation held true, he could least afford to expose his thoughts at this moment.

"So it turns out to be the Gao brothers!"

At this moment, Ji Li also spoke up at the appropriate time.

Clearly, he recognized this fat and thin duo standing before them.

"Yo, I didn't expect you to actually recognize us? That makes things easy then, you should know the two of us well, if you don't want to suffer any torture, just obediently hand over the storage rings on your hands!"

At this time, the thin one spoke up.

"Brother Ji Li, you know them?"

Xiao Lin asked, pretending to be indifferent.

"Ah, the Gao brothers, that thin one is the older brother, named Gao Tian, the fat one is the younger brother, named Gao Hai, these two are also notorious within the Central Plains, specifically fond of laying black hands on those who have no backing."

Ji Li also briefly introduced the information of the two brothers in front of them to Xiao Lin.

However, hearing Ji Li call them one thin and one fat, the Gao brothers were visibly enraged. As a result, the faces of the two brothers had completely sunk at this moment. The two of them hated it the most when others used thin and fat to address them!

Once they encountered someone who addressed them as such, they would ruthlessly eliminate the other party without mercy!

"You fellow, it seems you are looking for death!"

The older brother Gao Tian had already delivered a ruthless declaration.

"Brother, leave that foul-mouthed fellow for me to handle, you go settle the other one, how about it?"

The younger brother Gao Hai now began to seek the opinion of his older brother Gao Tian.

"Fine, who told you to be my younger brother? Then the other one is mine!"

Gao Tian did not object to his younger brother's suggestion.

The strength of the two brothers was roughly similar, so whoever they chose was practically the same.

As for the dialogue of these few individuals, Xiao Lin had heard every single word.

This also caused him to directly overturn his initial speculation.

"Ji Li isn't together with these two fellows? Strange, then why did he want to lead me down this path? Wait, could it be that this fellow wants to..."

At this moment, the door named 'truth' was slowly opening toward Xiao Lin.

That's right, from the very beginning, when the Gao brothers mentioned that they had blocked this path after the conclusion of the previous Spatial Trade Fair, Xiao Lin knew that Ji Li had intentionally led him down this path.

Ji Li was incomparably familiar with the matters of the Spatial Trade Fair, having clearly attended it multiple times. Thus, when the other party confidently stated that he could lead him safely out of this barren desert, Xiao Lin naturally believed it without a doubt.

However, he did not expect that as they were about to leave the barren desert, they would be blocked by the Gao brothers. This was either a mere coincidence, and the Gao brothers were blocking this spot for the first time.

Or, Ji Li had known all of this long ago, and deliberately brought him here!

Through observation, Xiao Lin determined it was the latter. Therefore, the reason Xiao Lin had remained unperturbed at the beginning was due to his worry that Ji Li was in cahoots with these two fellows.

Fighting three single-handedly, especially with someone like Ji Li whom he could not see through, to be completely honest, Xiao Lin did not possess much confidence.

It wasn't until he heard the subsequent dialogue of the Gao brothers that Xiao Lin confirmed Ji Li was not in cahoots with them.

In that case, he could feel slightly more at ease.

Subsequently, Xiao Lin began to ponder over Ji Li's purpose for leading him down this path.

Now, Xiao Lin basically had a clear picture of the situation.

"This fellow is truly irritating!"

At this moment, Xiao Lin desperately wanted to beat Ji Li to a pulp.

If he had something to say, why couldn't he just say it directly instead of talking in circles? People like that really deserved a beating!

Fine. From now on, he'd also learn to talk in circles.

"These two guys are both at the One-Change Dou Zun cultivation level. Brother Lin, what do you say?"

Without paying mind to what Xiao Lin was thinking, judging by the tone of Ji Li's voice, it seemed he didn't put the Gao brothers in his eyes at all. However, in reality, he himself was only a Nine-Star Dou Zun, whereas the Gao brothers were already One-Change Dou Zun!

Those who didn't know the truth would probably think the cultivation levels of both sides had been reversed.

"Just two One-Change Dou Zun, that makes things easy then. You can handle both, or I can handle both, or we can take one each, you call the shots."

As long as Ji Li wasn't in cahoots with the other party, Xiao Lin didn't feel a single shred of fear!

Honestly, a mere two One-Change Dou Zun blocking the path had caused him a false alarm, no, wait, it was clearly Ji Li who intentionally brought him here to find these two One-Change Dou Zun!

"Fine, the thin one is yours, the fat one is mine. Today, we'll be doing the Central Plains a favor by getting rid of these pests!"

Ji Li similarly did not care about the Gao brothers in the slightest. In truth, whether it was Xiao Lin or Ji Li, both possessed the confidence to fight above their level and take on two at once!

It was just that at this very moment, both sides wanted to take a look at each other's capabilities. However, the dialogue between Xiao Lin and Ji Li had utterly caused the Gao brothers to explode with rage!

"Hey, hey, hey, you two fellows are being a bit too arrogant! Mere Nine-Star Dou Zun, do you really think of yourselves as some big shots? You don't actually think a Nine-Star Dou Zun is stronger than a One-Change Dou Zun, do you?"

Listening to the conversation between Xiao Lin and Ji Li, Gao Tian was so angry he almost laughed.

This was completely disregarding their brotherhood.

"Brother, I've decided. I don't want to kill them so quickly anymore. I want them to die after suffering endless torture!"

The fat Gao Hai's face was already flushed red with rage at this moment.

Two Nine-Star Dou Zun actually dared to look down on two One-Change Dou Zun? The heavens and earth have truly turned upside down!

"Good, I'm thinking the exact same thing!"

Gao Tian expressed his agreement with his younger brother's proposal.

Two One-Change Dou Zun fighting two Nine-Star Dou Zun, could there possibly be any suspense? The Gao brothers certainly didn't think so.

"There's one sentence you guys actually said perfectly right. Mere One-Change Dou Zun, do you really think of yourselves as some big shots?"

Ji Li let out a wicked smile, absolutely not putting the Gao brothers in his eyes.

"I quite agree with that point. A mere two One-Change Dou Zun actually gave me a fright. Are you prepared to pay the price?"

Xiao Lin's deadpan seriousness made him look exceptionally righteous, yet simultaneously asking for a beating. Subsequently, after Xiao Lin and Ji Li exchanged a glance, they each chose their respective opponents.

Xiao Lin VS Gao Tian, Ji Li VS Gao Hai.

The duel between two Nine-Star Dou Zun and two One-Change Dou Zun unfolded just like that!
