“No wonder Daoist Huangque would remind me several times. It turns out he was entrusted by my second senior brother.”
The little doubt in Xu Taiping’s heart about this Huangque was finally resolved, and he felt inexplicably warm in his heart.
“Thank you, second senior brother. Thank you, Big Brother Huangque.”
He bowed to the back of Huangque and secretly said thank you to the two of them.
However, even so, he would still challenge that Fan Qi with his martial skills tomorrow.
Not only because of the sword sheath of Senior Brother Su Chan, but also because he wanted to use this opportunity to temper his martial skills again. After all, such an opportunity is very rare.
“With the good brother of my second senior brother watching, I must not lose the face of our Seventh Peak and my second senior brother tomorrow.”
While thinking like this, he turned around and also returned to the inn.
Continue to practice tonight.
……
The next day.
According to the time outside the mountain, it should be May 15th.
Today, Huangmei Town is the same as yesterday, still rainy and continuous, but this has not dampened the enthusiasm of the people in the town to go and watch the Life and Death Arena.
Fortunately, the Fury Fist Village is big enough and straightforward enough. On this day, the gate is wide open and all comers are welcome.
“Your Highness, I just saw Fan Zhong.”
On the viewing platform built by the Fury Fist Village for the Life and Death Arena, General Chu said in a serious and low voice to the Sixth Princess who had already taken her seat.
“Why did he come here？！”
The Sixth Princess had a look of surprise on her face.
“He knew that Your Highness would definitely pass this level on this trip, so he has been waiting here for many days, just to fight for Your Highness.”
General Chu said with a hint of respect in his eyes.
But he simply can’t be a match for Fan Qi. Isn’t it going up there just to die in vain?
The Sixth Princess said a little excitedly.
In her opinion, even Taiping Daozhang doesn’t have the confidence, so how could this Fan Zhong be a match for Fan Qi？ Moreover, this Fan Zhong doesn’t have Taiping Daozhang’s means of saving his life, and he will surely die after going on stage.
“It’s not just him. Qi Yan, Wang Zhenghao, He Yuan, Di Yi, these years, the rangers of Baishu Kingdom who have received Your Highness’s favor have all come, just to repay Your Highness’s kindness that day.”
Captain Cao also came to the side of the Sixth Princess at this time and said in a very heavy tone.
The Sixth Princess fell silent.
She tightly hugged the little monkey in her arms with both hands.
“Your Highness, I mentioned the matter of Taiping Daoist to them. After learning that Taiping Daoist cannot exercise on the Life and Death Arena, they want to consume as much as that old thief’s internal energy as possible before Taiping Daoist takes the stage.
General Chu then continued.
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Princess buried her head in the little monkey.
General Chu’s words have made it very clear that this group of people has come to die for her.
Taking off the identity of the princess, she is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and what she has learned in the palace is mostly qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is normal for her to be at a loss at this moment.
“Your Highness, you should be very clear about the personalities of these people. We can’t stop the things they have decided, and neither can you, Your Highness. In their view, dying for you, Your Highness, is a great righteousness.”
Thousand-Household Cao added in a low voice.
“I will remember every one of them and engrave every match in my mind, never to forget.”
After a long time, the Sixth Princess raised her head, wiped the tears on her face forcefully, and her eyes became firm again.
Actually, there was another sentence in her heart that she didn’t say, that is：
“I want to always remember this humiliation and unwillingness today.”
As a princess facing the disaster of the destruction of the country, there are too few things she can do.
……
Under the Life and Death Arena.
After signing this life-and-death affidavit, then ascend the arena. Either come down alive or be carried down dead.”
A young person picked up a deed and waved it in front of the crowd.
People in the town who often watch the life-and-death ring matches all know that this young person is actually the grandson of Fan Qi, Fan Ye.
”Those who are willing to step onto the stage today, come and sign the life-and-death affidavit quickly.”
That Fan Ye continued.
”Make way, make way, don’t block the way！”
Just as Xu Taiping was about to step forward, he was pushed aside by a very strong man.
”Such a nuisance！”
That man glared at Xu Taiping and then walked up to Fan Ye cursing, quickly pressing a fingerprint.
”Where did this brat who doesn’t know the danger come from, go to the back.”
”Little kid, this isn’t a place for fun, don’t come and join in the fun.”
”That’s right, that’s right, your mother is calling you home for dinner.”
Before Xu Taiping could take another step, several more warriors quickly stepped forward and pushed him aside.
Didn’t it say that there aren’t many people participating in the life-and-death ring every month?
Xu Taiping looked at the few people who were scrambling to sign the life-and-death affidavit with some confusion.
According to his previous understanding, in recent years, the number of warriors fighting the life-and-death arena against Fan Qi should be getting smaller and smaller.
”Little Taoist priest.”
Just as everyone had finished signing the death warrant, Fan Ye called out to Xu Taiping.
“Here I come.”
Xu Taiping nodded and quickly walked over.
“Once the death warrant is signed, either you die or the champion dies. Have you thought it through?”
Fan Ye did not immediately hand the pen in his hand to Xu Taiping but instead confirmed with him seriously.
“I’ve thought it through.”
Xu Taiping took the pen from his hand first.
He quickly wrote down his name, then pressed his fingerprint, and then silently stood back in place.
“Xu Taiping.”
Fan Ye looked at the name on the last death warrant, then sighed and muttered：
Why are there so many people coming to die this month?
……
Not long after everyone signed the death warrant, a sudden uproar sounded from the viewing stands of the arena.
Following the gaze of the crowd, Xu Taiping saw a tall old man with gray hair, Youdaoplaceholder0 a mask on his face and old leather armor, walking onto the ring.
After stepping onto the stage, the old man opened his arms and said in a murderous tone that was hard to put into words：
”Welcome all to Fury Fist Manor. As always, on the Life and Death Arena, it’s either you die or I die. Whether you are my former enemy or just a martial artist seeking a breakthrough in martial arts, you can all come to the stage and compete with this old man for life and death. If you win, not only will this old man’s head belong to you, but everything in Fury Fist Manor will also belong to you.”
Even without deliberately revealing it, that body of killing intent still turned into gusts of strong wind, sweeping through the entire courtyard where the Life and Death Arena was located.
Just by this overbearing killing intent that scorns the world, even though he was wearing a mask no one on or off the stage questioned his identity.
”This solid and heavy killing intent must have been obtained from a sea of blood and a mountain of knives. At such an age, Fan Qi has not yet been eroded by this killing intent and lost his mind. His skill is indeed not to be underestimated.”
The Fairy Lingyue in the gourd muttered to herself at this time.
Xu Taiping nodded in response.
Besides this, at this moment, he was also able to confirm that the old man on the stage was completely different from the one he had met on the street. both in body shape and temperament.
Of course, even if Fan Qi was that old man, he would still go all out.
”For this Life and Death Arena, the first challenger is Fan Zhong.”
Just then, Fan Ye loudly read out the name of the first challenger.
