"Yeah."
Old Xie's expression was very cold, but his small eyes were full of vigor as he looked at them.
"Who activated the life and death arena?" Although Old Xie wasn't tall, his voice was extremely loud.
"It's me." Chu Tianyu moved to the side as if he was trying to curry favor with her, saying,""Old Xie, there are two disciples in the clan who are at odds with each other. They want to end their grudges directly through a life and death duel. I hope that Old Xie can allow them to enter the life and death arena.”He then pointed at Chu Nan and Chu Bao.
Old Xie looked at Chu Bao, who had a muscular build and tanned skin that resembled a bear, and then at Chu Nan, who was beside Chu Bao.
"Hmm?" Old Xie was obviously paying more attention to Chu Nan. His gaze lingered on Chu Nan for a while, as if he was attracted by something on him. His eyes seemed to be deep in thought, but his expression quickly returned to normal.
"Let's cut to the chase. Do you all understand the rules of the life and death arena?”Old Xie asked.
Old Xie quickly took out a white paper contract from his sleeve and let Chu Nan and Chu Bao sign it with their blood. Then, he made two copies and gave one to each of them."Since the two of you have signed a life and death contract and entered the arena of life and death, let's fight to the death. The two of you can't decide life and death, so you can't leave the arena. Fight until the end. This contract that I've stored for you is the proof, and this old man will be the host of your deathmatch.”
"Got it."
"Since you all know the rules, I won't say anything more. Go ahead and fight it out. I'll enter the house first. When the time comes, if you can really decide the victor, I'll naturally come out.”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and re-entered the low thatched cottage.
Chu Tianyu was still smiling as he said,""The two of you are both geniuses of the clan. Today, you will not give in to each other. Therefore, this old man has recommended you to the life and death arena to see which of the two of you is stronger!”
However, from Chu Tianyu's expression, it was obvious that he was gloating over Chu Nan's misfortune. "Young Master Chu Nan, you can't go back on your word after signing the life and death contract.”
Chu Nan glanced at him and suddenly laughed."I'm going back on my word? Hehe, I'm just afraid that he'll go back on his word! Or rather, I'm afraid that you'll go back on your word!"
"I'm going back on my word? Haha, you're just a Soul Conduit who can't open your lifeline. Today, I have ten thousand ways to kill you!”Chu Bao laughed.
The bell on the life and death arena rang like a death knell, and it continued to ring. This alarmed the citizens of Ping Yang Town. As there had been family members who had rung the bell before, the citizens of Ping Yang Town were familiar with this sound. Curious commoners swarmed into the Chu Clan's training grounds from all directions as if they were watching a good show.
" Who could have such a huge grudge and actually set up a life and death battle? It was said that a life-and-death duel required the signing of a life-and-death contract, and one would not be responsible for their life or death. He remembered that the last life-and-death duel was ten years ago. Today, he was curious again! However, someone would definitely die today. It was said that only one of the two people who entered the life and death arena could come out.”
After that, Chu Nan and Chu Bao handed the Stored Pact to Chu Tianyu and the two of them jumped onto the arena. The people below the stage were all discussing the matter.
"Look, isn't this the useless young master of the Chu family, Chu Nan? A month ago, he had failed to initiate his Fate. He was called the Heaven's Forsaken One. It was said that he could not open his lifeline and would eventually be unable to form a Fate Wheel. It was said that the Heaven's Forsaken One did not even have a spirit soul. Without a spirit soul, he would absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth into his body to cultivate. His cultivation would at most be at the ninth level of Soul Conduit. How could he fight against Chu Bao, who was at the seventh level of Soul Warrior? Isn't this courting death?"
At this moment, there were at least a few hundred citizens of Ping Yang Town gathered below the stage, surrounding the life and death arena. They were all curious about this life and death battle. At this moment, a thick layer of dust had already fallen on the black, quaint fighting ring of the life-and-death battle ring. It was as if this ring had not been cleaned for a long time and no one had come up to the stage to fight. Beside the life and death arena stood a wooden tablet. The rules of the life and death arena were written on the wooden tablet. However, these rules could be summed up in one sentence. Life and death were decided on the life and death arena, and one would not be responsible for dying in battle.
Due to the great elder's influence in the clan and Ping Yang Town, most of the people present were leaning towards the great elder's faction. Those below the stage mocked Chu Nan, but there were also a few who felt indignant on his behalf. They were all very familiar with Chu Nan's failure to initiate destiny. In the past, there were only a few people who had received the clan leader's favor and wanted to lean towards the clan leader's faction.
"That Chu Bao is really too much," one of the girls said."Now, everyone in Ping Yang Town knows that Young Master Chu Nan is unable to cultivate. It is said that people without spirit souls can only cultivate to the ninth level of Soul Conduit realm and cannot form a Fate Wheel to become a Soul Warrior. How can he compete with Chu Bao, who is a level seven Soul Warrior? Chu Bao was simply too arrogant and didn't take the clan leader seriously.”
"What did you say? A Heaven's Forsaken One who could not cultivate wanted to challenge a Level Seven Soul Warrior? Was he afraid that he would die slowly? A seventh stage Soul Warrior was already one of the best among the younger generation of the Chu family. Among the younger generation of the family, besides the Great Elder's son, Chu Chen, who had broken through to the Soul Master realm, Chu Bao was the strongest. Relying on the Great Elder's influence in the family, Chu Bao had committed all kinds of crimes and bullied the people.”
"That's right. Look at the butler's son, Chu Bao. He's a seventh stage Soul Warrior. How can Chu Nan resist him? It was said that a Stage Seven cultivator could release his elemental energy. Could Young Master Chu Nan withstand it? He reckoned that in the younger generation, only Chu Chen, the son of the Great Elder, could suppress him.”
The people below the stage exchanged glances and discussed animatedly. Some of them were gloating while others were indignant. However, none of them had high hopes for Chu Nan. They all felt that it would be difficult for Chu Nan to survive the life and death arena. At this moment, they looked at Chu Nan on the stage with disappointment and sympathy in their eyes.
At this moment, the clan elder Chu Wenyin, who used to manage the library, was also attracted by the bell and came to the life and death arena. At this moment, when he saw Chu Nan and Chu Bao about to fight on the life and death arena, he was instantly enraged. He cursed at Chu Tianyu beside him,"You're letting Young Master, a person who can't cultivate, enter the life and death arena? Chu Bao is a seventh stage Soul Warrior. If you let the young master compete with Chu Bao like this, wouldn't you be pushing Young Master Chu Nan into the fire pit? If anything happens to Chu Nan this time, aren't you afraid that the clan leader will come and blame you?”
"Blame? Now that the clan leader can't even guarantee his position, what can he do to me? Moreover, this life and death contract was personally initiated by Young Master Chu Nan, so there was no one else to blame. The words written in black and white could not be fake, right? This old man only made a guarantee. Whether or not he could walk out alive would depend on whether young master Chu Nan had the ability to do so.”Chu Tianyu laughed sinisterly.
"What did you say? You said that Chu Nan initiated a life-and-death duel?" Chu Wenyin asked in confusion.
"See for yourself!" Chu Tianyu took out the life-and-death contract that Chu Nan and Chu Bao had copied. The contract clearly stated that the person who initiated the life-and-death duel was Chu Nan.
"Sigh." Chu Wenyin sighed and squeezed forward. Finally, he squeezed into the Life and Death Arena and shouted,"Young Master Chu Nan, don't force yourself during the battle. If you can't do it, just admit defeat. Perhaps there's still a chance of survival.
At this moment, Chu Nan did not pay too much attention to the clamor of the commoners below. He quickly circulated the Demon Aether Forbidden Codex and mobilized the demonic Qi in his body, stimulating the demonic god blood essence in his body. He wanted to use his powerful physical body to fight against Chu Bao.
However, when he heard Chu Wenyin's earnest words and looked down from the stage, he realized that Chu Wenyin was constantly persuading Chu Nan to admit defeat when it was time to do so. Chu Nan could not help but smile bitterly. Chu Wenyin was loyal to the Clan Leader and he was genuinely concerned about her. Chu Nan did not tell anyone about his recovery, but he was afraid that Chu Bao would return. If Chu Bao returned, he would lose this opportunity to deal with Chu Nan.
Hence, Chu Nan smiled at Chu Wenyin and said,"Third Master, don't worry. I'm just sparring with Brother Chu Bao. Then, he took out a few bottles of wine and glasses from his Heavenly Demon Divine Ring and said with a smile,""I prepared this for Third Master for a long time. After I'm done sparring, let's have a drink. It's been a long time since we've had a drink to our heart's content.”
"Third Master, warm the wine first!"
Then, he pointed at Chu Qing and said,""Qing 'er, quickly pour two cups of wine and warm them up. I want to drink to my heart's content with Third Master.”
When Chu Qing heard Chu Nan's words, he was baffled. He was on the edge of life and death, yet he still had the mood to drink. The curious commoners who had gathered together widened their eyes as they looked at the smiling Chu Nan.
"Even if we want to spar, we can do it anytime and anywhere. There's no need to go to the life and death arena. The family head only has you as his son. If anything happens to you, then the family head will…"
At this moment, Zhu Lan, Yu Cui, and Chu Qing were extremely worried. Chu Nan was still in the mood to tease Chu Wenyin. However, she still obediently poured two glasses of wine and placed them on a stone to light it up.
At this moment, Chu Bao's expression was also very strange. Even though he did not take the cripple Chu Nan seriously, Chu Nan's actions were still unbelievable to him.
"This kid can't have been scared by me to the point that his brain is damaged, right?”Chu Bao muttered.
Suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and the playful expression from before was swept away, replaced by a murderous aura.
