Jiang Changhai is furious that his son Jiang Zhe was humiliated by Jiang Rui, and he agrees to a life-and-death duel between his son Jiang Bo and Jiang Rui. Jiang Shoutian objects, citing Jiang Rui's recent injuries, but Jiang Rui insists he is healed and ready for the duel, much to his father's dismay. Jiang Changhai, confident in his son's abilities and eager to humiliate Jiang Shoutian, readily agrees, and the two sides head to the Martial Performance Stage.

The Martial Performance Stage is quite large.

It can even be described as extremely vast.

The construction materials of this stage consist of the Xuanwu Starry Sky Stone, capable of withstanding tremendous force.

This stone is specifically excavated from the Heavenly Burial Grounds.

Its hardness is not only high, but also it possesses the property of absorbing power.

In other words, ordinary attacks cannot even break this stone.

Once a force exceeds the stone's capacity to withstand, the stone actively absorbs all the excess force.

It can be said that this is an exceptionally intelligent stone.

Because of its characteristics, it is widely used in places prone to massive attacks.

However, this stone is very rare.

One must explore the Heavenly Burial Grounds for a long time to find a batch of it.

It is well known that the longer one stays in the Heavenly Burial Grounds, the higher the chances and intensity of encountering strange occurrences.

Even though the Xuntian clan has significant influence at Sky View Corner, they value the use of the Xuanwu Starry Sky Stone greatly.

Jiang Zhe seems to be a bit impatient.

He wants to perform well in front of so many people.

He wishes to make Xu Zimei a stepping stone.

Perhaps today, the position of Young Clan Leader held by Xu Zimei might be taken down.

One must know it's a life-and-death duel.

One side can completely kill the other.

And they don't even need to take any responsibility.

Therefore, usually, life-and-death duels are rare.

After all, such rules are harsh on one's opponent and simultaneously leave no way out for oneself.

This time, it was Xu Zimei who proposed it.

Jiang Zhe and Jiang Changhai naturally wouldn't want to miss such a chance.

If they had proposed it themselves, others might say they were intentionally trying to harm their own kin.

After all, everyone's well aware of Jiang Rui's strength.

There's no difference between proposing a life-and-death duel and intentionally killing him, is there?

But it was Xu Zimei who actively proposed it.

Even if Jiang Zhe kills him, no one can say a word.

This is why many spectators are thrilled.

When Jiang Zhe stood on the stage, Jiang Shoutian merely frowned.

He still couldn't figure out what his son wanted to do.

Does he really have a death wish?

Doesn't he know his standing at all?

So at this moment, he looked towards Xu Zimei.

He asked, "Are you sure about this? Once you step onto this stage and sign the Life and Death Contract,"

"you must bear the consequences yourself."

"No one can stop it, not even I as the Clan Leader, cannot break this rule."

This was Jiang Shoutian's final warning to Xu Zimei.

If he backed out now, as his Clan Leader father, Jiang Shoutian could forcibly protect him somehow.

But once the match started, it would end only with life or death.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zimei hadn't even spoken when Jiang Zhe couldn't help himself.

He immediately taunted.

"Jiang Rui, are you scared?"

"But for a coward like you, it's understandable if you're scared of me."

"How about this? Kneel now, crawl under me, and take a detour when you see me from now on. I'll let you off today."

"How about it?"

Jiang Zhe's words were a severe provocation.

Of course, he didn't want Xu Zimei to back out halfway.

After all, with everything set, how could he miss such a grand performance?

So he tried to provoke Xu Zimei to lose his mind through ridicule and mockery.

But Xu Zimei simply shook his head slightly.

He watched the other's clownish display with calm throughout.

He didn't even bother to respond.

He merely ascended the steps one by one, standing on the Martial Performance Stage.

Responding with actions was the best answer.

At this moment, an elder in a robe interwoven with blue and black walked over.

This elder exuded a strong presence, authoritative with a dignified expression.

As soon as he appeared, the noisy surroundings fell silent.

This elder was the Law Enforcement Elder of the Xuntian Mansion.

He was specifically in charge of law enforcement.

His name was Jiang Weitian.

He had been the Law Enforcement Elder for three hundred years, overseeing the Enforcement Hall.

For three hundred years, he's been doing just that.

Within Xuntian Mansion, no matter who, even the Clan Leader, will be punished if they make a mistake.

So now, with both parties involved in this life-and-death duel having significant status.

He personally came to serve as the judge.

This is to ensure the fairness of law enforcement.

He won't allow anyone to make the life-and-death duel a privilege.

With a wave of his hand, two red papers flew across the air, landing before Xu Zimei and Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Weitian spoke calmly.

"Sign the Life and Death Contract, and the duel will be established."

"All grudges end here and now on this stage."

"Neither friends nor family shall retaliate in private, or punishment will be severe."

Hearing these words, Xu Zimei and Jiang Zhe pricked their fingers, writing their names in blood.

At the moment the contract was formed.

Jiang Weitian waved his large hand, and an invisible force emanated from all directions of the Martial Performance Stage.

The Formation activated, energizing the Martial Performance Stage.

This invisible force pushed everyone back to a distance.

This also forced everyone to keep a distance from the stage, preventing any sudden tricks that might disrupt the duel.

...…

On the Martial Performance Stage.

Jiang Zhe twisted his neck.

A cruel smile appeared on his face.

He said, "My dear cousin, how do you want to die?"

Xu Zimei looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Then, Xu Zimei slowly raised his hands.

Spiritual Energy erupted across the heavens and earth.

Rich Spiritual Energy gathered towards this spot.

Finally forming a giant Spiritual Energy hand.

"Snap—"

The giant hand descended from the sky like lightning.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Zhe was visibly shaken.

He shouted aloud.

Disregarding everything, a strong force erupted around him, with endless Spiritual Energy converging.

Jiang Zhe indeed had some skills.

For his age, being at the Dao Fruit Level is quite impressive.

Even the Three Flowers above his head had bloomed halfway.

He could almost be called Half-step Three Flowers.

When these Three Flowers appeared, Jiang Zhe's hands quickly formed seals.

Xu Zimei's casual strike brought Jiang Zhe to the brink of life and death.

Though he couldn't understand how it came to this.

Amidst a life and death crisis, there was no time for contemplation.

Survival was paramount.

The Xuntian clan is a branch of the Heaven and Earth Clan.

Their clan's talent allows them to draw strength from the heavens and the earth.

The Xuntian clan and the Zhou Di clan, due to certain reasons, have now parted ways.

The Zhou Di clan draws strength from the earth.

The Xuntian clan draws strength from the sky.

Seeing Jiang Zhe's hands quickly form seals, several beams of light descended from the nine heavens covering his body.
