Zhao Qing wielded a **pudao**, a broad-bladed saber, its edge shimmering with a brilliant, spiritual light. Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, held a long spear, a weapon of no ordinary quality. This spear was a first-grade spiritual artifact, a reward Xiao Yuan had earned from the Lingyun Mountain trial. It was truly a weapon that felt natural in his hands.
Qing Chengtian watched as the two combatants unleashed every move with deadly intent, and he couldn’t help but worry, “Wushuang, do you think Xiao Yuan can win?”
“Without invoking his bloodline power, it’s a bit risky, but if he does, Zhao Qing is as good as dead!” Qing Chengtian only felt relieved upon hearing Ye Wushuang’s words.
In the past few days, when they were all together, Ye Wushuang had offered guidance to the three of them on their cultivation. It had to be said that, despite all being at the Condensation Meridian realm, Ye Wushuang’s knowledge made them feel utterly inadequate in comparison. If their understanding of cultivation was like a bowl of water, then Ye Wushuang’s was like an ocean—vast and profound. The difference was simply staggering.
At that moment, on the other side, Zhou Xuan seemed to have overheard something and occasionally glanced at Ye Wushuang. Finally, he stopped paying attention to the duel on the platform and walked straight up to Ye Wushuang with a group of people.
“Are you Ye Wushuang?” Zhou Xuan asked, his gaze cold and piercing.
“Yes, I am!” Ye Wushuang replied with a smile. “I’m the one who killed your brother Zhou Zhe and led to the extermination of your Zhou family by Emperor Qing Muyuan.”
“You…” In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from Zhou Xuan, and nine streams of spiritual energy surged from his meridians.
“Do you want to kill me?” Ye Wushuang taunted with a smile. “Come on, give it a try.”
Zhou Xuan calmed himself down, but his fists clenched tightly, making a crackling sound.
“Ye Wushuang!” Zhou Xuan growled in a deep voice. “If you dare, sign the life-and-death contract, and let’s settle this on the Life-and-Death Platform.”
“That suits me just fine,” Ye Wushuang replied with a grin.
“But let me tell you something, Zhou Xuan. It’s not that I underestimate you…”
“It’s true that I killed Zhou Zhe, but your family was executed by the emperor’s order. You dare to harbor resentment against me and take it out on my friends, but you don’t dare to challenge the emperor. Why is that?”
Zhou Xuan snorted coldly, “That’s none of your business. Once I kill you, I’ll deal with the royal family myself.”
“I’m afraid you won’t get that chance!” With these words, Ye Wushuang and Zhou Xuan approached the elder. Zhou Xuan immediately said, “Please give us another life-and-death contract.”
The elder sighed as he looked at the two of them. They each signed the contract and then stepped onto the platform.
On one side, the duel between Xiao Yuan and Zhao Qing was still ongoing. On the other side, Ye Wushuang and Zhou Xuan had already ascended another Life-and-Death Platform.
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
What was happening?
Zhou Xuan, the tenth genius on the Tiyun List, had actually… stepped onto the Life-and-Death Platform!
And when some people recognized Ye Wushuang, they were utterly astonished.
Ye Wushuang was going to have a life-or-death duel with Zhou Xuan?
This Ye Wushuang, who had only been in the capital for two months, truly seemed to make earth-shattering moves with every step he took.
“Quick, quick, go!”
“Go where? There’s more excitement to see, a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle…”
“What do you know? With Zhou Xuan’s formidable strength, being the tenth on the Tiyun List, if he steps onto the platform, he’ll definitely show his true power. Every genius in the top twenty of the Tiyun List would want to witness this.”
“So what?”
“So what? We need to spread the word to those geniuses immediately. We might even get a reward for it!”
“That makes sense. Let’s go.”
Thus, the disciples surrounding the Life-and-Death Platform scattered, spreading the news far and wide. Soon, the entire inner courtyard of Qingyun Academy was in an uproar…
