Chapter 131 - 130: Battle of Life and Death

Chapter 131: Chapter 130: Battle of Life and Death"Big brother is really tough..." Zhu Xiaofei, not far away, had stars in his eyes as he looked at Ye Xuan with admiration. Tan Qingshan, Xiao Zhan, and others also looked on with respect. Today, the entire Emperor Immortal Sect had witnessed what level of existence this once deemed useless son-in-law had reached! "Ye Xuan!" Jiang Jing and others had a slight change in their expressions, having not anticipated that Ye Xuan would suddenly propose a life-and-death battle. Ye Xuan raised his hand to stop Jiang Jing and the others from speaking further, speaking calmly, "This is my business, none of you should interfere." "This!" Wei Yungang was somewhat dumbfounded. Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan also furrowed their brows, unclear about what Ye Xuan meant. A life-and-death battle would mean that one of the parties would surely die. Ye Xuan had actually proposed a life-and-death battle. "Great Elders, this must not be done!" Wei Yungang hurriedly advised. Yang Jinchun was his disciple, and he knew his disciple well, but Ye Xuan was too enigmatic. If it were a real battle to the death, the consequences were unknown. "Today, whoever interferes, I will kill," Ye Xuan said coldly, speaking deliberately. Wei Yungang looked extremely troubled, yet did not know what to do. But at that moment, a voice suddenly came: "Let it be as Ye Xuan said, this battle will be a life-and-death battle between Ye Xuan and Yang Jinchun. Whoever interferes, will be dealt with by the sect laws." The voice was grand and ancient, as if it descended from the heavens. Upon hearing this voice, the entire Lie Tian venue fell solemn. The four Great Elders and three Great Sacrificial Officers all stood up, cupping their fists and speaking respectfully: "We will carefully obey the sect master’s decree!" Sect Master Zhou Zihuang had spoken personally. No one dared to intervene in this fight anymore! "Jinchun, you must hold on..." Wei Yungang’s expression was grave as he silently prayed for Yang Jinchun. "A battle to the death!" All disciples were extremely excited. This was a true fight to the death, a real battle! For many disciples, this was an experience they had never had before, and it was a perfect opportunity to closely observe. At this moment, within the Emperor Immortal Sect, on an ancient mountain peak, Sect Master Zhou Zihuang and Supreme Elder Mu Baicheng were both present. The two were playing chess. Zhou Zihuang held the white pieces. Mu Baicheng held the black pieces. As Mu Baicheng made his move, he said slowly, "You didn’t stop it, and even abetted it?" Zhou Zihuang looked at the chessboard, densely populated with pieces, smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly, "Why should I stop it?" Mu Baicheng glanced at Zhou Zihuang, stared intently at the chessboard, and spoke, "Then why did you bring them into the sect?" After speaking, Mu Baicheng made his move. Zhou Zihuang did not rush to move, speaking softly, "According to calculations, this period of three years would have been a major disaster for the Emperor Immortal Sect, with almost zero chance of surviving it, yet it was because of Ye Xuan that we overcame it." "This is a lifeline." "But ultimately, it’s like quenching thirst with poison, the next three years will still bring a major disaster." "And now, the situation of our sect is like this chess game before us." "An absolute hunt!" After speaking, Zhou Zihuang slowly stood up, choosing not to continue the game. Seeing Zhou Zihuang stand up, Mu Baicheng remained calm, stroking his beard and reaching to move a white piece to a certain spot. Boom! A piece fell, thunderous and forceful. The entire chessboard shattered instantly. "If we cannot win within the game, then break the game and move outside!" Mu Baicheng stated sharply. Zhou Zihuang smiled lightly, his gaze moving toward the Lie Tian venue, speaking slowly, "After May, the Southern Ghost Tomb." Mu Baicheng stood tall, his entire demeanor as straight and unyielding as a divine spear, "In a few days at the exchange conference, the target of the Lie Tian Upper Country will be here." Zhou Zihuang shook his head and chuckled, "If we lose, we can’t break the game, so what if we lose the qualification to them." Mu Baicheng turned to look at Zhou Zihuang and suddenly laughed out loud, "Zihuang, you handle things far better than your father did." Zhou Zihuang smiled helplessly, "It’s just a desperate move." The two said no more, but turned their gaze toward the Lie Tian venue. At that moment, in the Lie Tian venue. The life-and-death battle between Ye Xuan and Yang Jinchun was finalized. All eyes were on them! Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Ye Xuan and Yang Jinchun. "Hehehe..." Seeing he could not escape this fight, Yang Jinchun suddenly laughed, "I take back what I said before, you’re not an ant, you are a fierce tiger." "So today, let’s see whether it’s your fierce tiger that rules the forest, or my True Dragon soaring to the Nine Heavens?" As he spoke, Yang Jinchun’s aura gradually rose. Boom, boom, boom— Above the Lie Tian Daoist arena, sudden gusts of wind rose up, causing one to tremble. The wind wrapped around Yang Jinchun and, surprisingly, he stepped on the wind and floated upward. His momentum was climbing continuously. Huang Nian, Wen Lin, and Liu Tianhao, who had already forfeited, all had ugly expressions on their faces. "This guy, he has been concealing his strength all along!" Huang Nian said gravely. "When did he enter the peak of the Earth Element Realm!" Liu Tianhao’s eyes were dark. Peak of the Earth Element Realm! Yang Jinchun was actually a top-ranked marquis! His cultivation realm was two minor realms higher than Zhou Youwei. They had always thought Yang Jinchun was at the eighth layer of the Earth Element Realm. The six of them, with five at the seventh layer and Yang Jinchun at the eighth, had very little difference. However, now they realized they had always been deceived. Yang Jinchun was not at the eighth layer of the Earth Element Realm, but the true peak of the Earth Element Realm! "This guy has been hiding it until now; if it weren’t for Ye Xuan forcing his hand, he probably would have continued hiding!" Huang Nian’s face was exceedingly unsightly. Also, at this moment, the unwillingness in Huang Nian’s heart completely dissipated. This battle, no matter who wins or loses, both had the qualifications to sit in the seat of chief disciple. Compared to Ye Xuan and Yang Jinchun, they were much weaker. Even if Ye Xuan hadn’t made a comeback today, the seat of chief disciple would probably not have belonged to them. "Such deep scheming." Huang Nian couldn’t help but curse inwardly. He often compared himself with Yang Jinchun, only to find now that there was no comparison at all. "A fierce tiger? A true dragon?" Ye Xuan looked at Yang Jinchun, his lips curling up into a chilling smile, his deep eyes filled with a hint of ferocity: "Haven’t I told you before?" "I have once slain a true dragon!" Back then, he was manipulated by the emperor of burial and had entered that ancient sea of the Dragon Clan, where he encountered a true dragon. In that battle, Ye Xuan did his utmost and slew the only true dragon at that time. That battle shook that era. Compared to a real true dragon, what was Yang Jinchun? He couldn’t even compare to a worm, yet dared to be provocative in front of Ye Xuan. "After today’s battle, if I die, so be it, but if I don’t, your entire Ye Family must die." Yang Jinchun’s voice reached Ye Xuan’s ears. This time. Yang Jinchun used a transmitting sound. Only the two of them knew. "Don’t worry, even if you don’t want to die, you must die." Ye Xuan revealed a brilliant smile. "Then I’ll just wait!" Yang Jinchun laughed wildly, his entire being soaring into the sky, his momentum unmatched. All the Power of Heaven and Earth surrounding him was used by him. At this moment, it seemed as if the entire heaven and earth were targeting Ye Xuan! "Come down." Seeing Yang Jinchun standing in mid-air, Ye Xuan’s expression was cold, and he suddenly stomped his foot. Thud! As if an earthquake had arrived, the ground trembled. The void seemed to be shaking. Yang Jinchun’s form became unstable, the Power of Heaven and Earth he was drawing upon was instantly affected, and he uncontrollably plummeted toward the ground. Yang Jinchun’s expression changed slightly. This seemed to be somewhat different from before. He quickly stabilized his body and dashed downward! As he dove, Yang Jinchun formed a seal with both hands, displaying Daoist Magic! "Swallow!" At Yang Jinchun’s command, the ground beneath Ye Xuan’s feet suddenly became soft, almost like seawater, and Ye Xuan’s form began falling downward. "Taiyi True Water." Ye Xuan, calm and composed, activated one of his dual divine skills, Taiyi True Water. Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Beneath him, suddenly a water dragon surged up, carrying Ye Xuan, and ascended towards the sky! Riding the dragon! Drip, drip, drip. Above the vault of heaven, clouds covered densely, and raindrops suddenly began to fall. Ye Xuan, with his right hand deep, caught a few drops of rain, turned his wrist slightly, and those few drops merged into one droplet, gliding down his palm to his middle finger. Crackle, crackle, crackle. Within the droplet, blue-purple lightning churned. Ye Xuan flicked his finger. Zoom! The water droplet shot forth like a flying sword. Yang Jinchun landed steadily and squatted down, both palms pressing against the ground, True Qi circulating. Boom, boom, boom ———— In the fighting arena, a thousand-meter-tall mountain suddenly appeared, positioned between Ye Xuan and Yang Jinchun, intent on blocking Ye Xuan’s strike! Yang Jinchun did not underestimate Ye Xuan but regarded him from the start as the strongest enemy, unleashing his full strength!
