Chapter 652: Chapter 581: The Great Battle Prematurely Begins?

"Little Ying!!"

Upon seeing Jiang Ying spitting blood and falling to the ground, Granny Jiang screamed sharply. Her eyes then turned bloodshot with fury as she trembled and stared at Chu Xuanji, "Chu... Chu Xuanji, you’ve gone too far!"

"Gone too far?"

Ye Fan abruptly stood up from his seat, glared at Granny Jiang with furious eyes, "Your great-granddaughter lost the match and attacked from behind, a crime worthy of death — you should be grateful that Liu Li is kind-hearted, for not taking her life!"

"You little beast, you..."

Granny Jiang, mad with fury, unleashed her killing intent, which instantly locked onto Ye Fan.

"You looking to die?!"

Chu Xuanji "swooshed" to his feet, forcefully interrupting Granny Jiang’s words, his terrifying killing intent sweeping towards her like a tide.

With the killing intent bearing down, Granny Jiang’s heart violently quivered, feeling a cold wave from head to toe. She opened her mouth but dared not even let out a fart.

"Jiang Yurong, your great-granddaughter sneak-attacked after losing the match, severely violating the Qing bang competition’s regulations and the Yanhuang Organization’s rules. I have not punished her, already giving the Jiang family enough face. Do you not want to quickly take her away? What more do you want to stir up?"

Gu Yun spoke up. He floated in the air, staring down at Jiang Yurong with an angry scowl.

Just now, Jiang Ying had violated the rules right before his eyes, completely catching him off guard, so much so that he did not intervene in time!

Latter on, when he was about to take action, he detected Su Liuli’s awareness. Knowing she could dodge, he changed his mind at the last moment, choosing not to act and allowing Su Liuli to teach Jiang Ying a lesson!

What he didn’t expect was that Granny Jiang would intervene with rather malicious intent, not only aiming to neutralize Su Liuli’s Gang Qi palm strike but also to attack Su Liuli!

If not for Chu Xuanji’s immediate intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable — Su Liuli would have been unable to withstand Granny Jiang’s attack!

All this was equivalent to a slap in his face, trampling on the Yanhuang Organization’s authority—how could he not be enraged?!

"Sister Jiang, it’s better to check on Little Ying’s injuries first."

Jie Dao chimed in, aware that Jiang Yurong was not only in the wrong but also clearly no match for Chu Xuanji. Continuing the commotion would definitely not favor her and might even lead to her demise right then and there.

Upon hearing Jie Dao’s words, Jiang Yurong snapped out of her frenzy, yelling no more but instead, with a cold face, leapt beside Jiang Ying in one stride.

Su Liuli’s final strike, although non-lethal, was delivered in a fury. She slapped Jiang Ying’s shoulder, not only breaking several of Jiang Ying’s bones but also damaging all her internal organs — effectively costing her half her life!

Realizing the severity of Jiang Ying’s injuries, Jiang Yurong’s face grew colder as she swiftly took out two Healing Holy Medicine Nirvana Pills, feeding one to Jiang Ying and crushing the other to sprinkle on the external wounds.

After doing all this, Jiang Yurong picked up Jiang Ying, sweeping a glare sharpened like a blade over Su Liuli, her intent to kill chillingly clear.

"If Liu Li girl ever meets with misfortune, not a single person or animal of the Jiang family will be spared!"

Noticing Jiang Yurong’s unrelenting malice, Chu Xuanji spoke again, his dominance unmatched.

"Jiang Ying has blatantly violated the rules of this Qing bang competition and the Yanhuang Organization’s regulations, hence she is disqualified from participating in subsequent matches."

Gu Yun also spoke up, his warning thick with sternness, "Additionally, should the Jiang family seek revenge against the heir of Bodhi Wuyin, Su Liuli, thereafter, we will deal with them severely without leniency!"

"Hiss~"

Once again hearing the words of Chu Xuanji and Gu Yun, Jiang Yurong shivered with anger.

As an Ancient Cultivation Family, the power of the Jiang family was beyond doubt. If only Chu Xuanji were to cause trouble at the Jiang family, they might not have been afraid, but with the Supreme Heir of the Buddhist Order Bodhi Wuyin and the Yanhuang Organization involved, the Jiang family would be completely outmatched.

"Granny Jiang, rest assured, today’s matter won’t end like this."

Later on, just as Jiang Yurong was about to begrudgingly leave with Jiang Ying, an unexpected voice rose from the quiet spectator stands.

Whoosh!

The crowd looked towards the source of the sound, only to see that it was none other than Emperor Bai!

Facing the multitude of gazes, Emperor Bai remained utterly fearless, narrowing his eyes and gazing intently at Su Liuli on the stage, his murderous intent boiling over, "I will chop off her head to avenge Little Ying!"

"Uh..."

Startled by Emperor Bai’s domineering statement, almost everyone changed color in shock!

Clearly, they hadn’t expected Emperor Bai to dare to utter such bold and unmatched words after Su Liuli displayed the combat power of the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, entirely disregarding the existence of the two Supreme Strongmen, Chu Xuanji and Gu Yun!

"Hey, Emperor Bai, you’re really bold, aren’t you? Do you think my sister-in-law still has the same combat power as yesterday?"

Lv Zhan couldn’t help but speak up. He had always disliked Emperor Bai’s arrogant demeanor, especially after he became friends with Ye Fan, which made him even more disapproving of Emperor Bai’s behavior.

"The Supreme Heir of the Buddhist Order, do you dare to have a life-and-death battle right now?"

Emperor Bai disregarded Lv Zhan’s words as if they were air, continuing to stare unyieldingly at Su Liuli with an eruptive aura, "Are you brave enough to fight to the death now?"

In an instant, a cold and deadly intent spread from Emperor Bai’s body, causing the competing contestants to turn pale.

Seeing this, many strong people in the spectator stands changed expressions and quickly shielded their disciples from the overwhelming killing intent of Emperor Bai.

"Emperor Bai, your opponent is me."

Ye Fan spoke up, his voice not loud but echoing through the entire venue, startling everyone to turn their gaze towards him.

"An opponent? Are you worthy??"

Emperor Bai sneered coldly, questioning loudly, and without waiting for Ye Fan’s response, arrogantly declared, "From the beginning to the end, I have never considered you an opponent. I only want to cut off your head, that’s all!"

"Worthy or not, battle and we shall see."

This time, before Ye Fan could respond, Su Liuli on the stage spoke, "Still, the same words — if you can behead Ye Fan, I will take my own life at Mount Tian!"

Whoosh!

As Su Liuli’s words fell, the originally quiet square instantly erupted. The cultivators all looked at Ye Fan with faces full of shock, as if they were asking: Does the Evil Emperor’s Disciple really possess the strength to battle the Little Saber King Bai Di?

In addition to them, the contestants sitting in the audience were also incredulous.

And the strong people beside them were moved.

Reason told them that although Ye Fan practiced Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, his realm was too low, and his combat power was limited. The chances to kill Bai Di, who was invincible below Gang Qi, were virtually nonexistent.

But... at the same time, they believed that if Ye Fan had no hope, he wouldn’t be so domineering, and Su Liuli wouldn’t wager her own head on it!

"If that’s the case, then I’ll send you all to meet King Yan!" Bai Di said coldly, and was about to rise to his feet and leap towards the arena.

"Little Emperor, the main event hasn’t accepted the battle yet, what’s the rush?"

Just then, Jie Dao made a move to restrain Bai Di, then looked at Chu Xuanji and spoke in an eccentric tone, "Moreover, didn’t you witness the Evil Emperor’s elegance just now? He casually speaks of annihilating entire clans. Would he let you kill that boy in front of him?"

"Old coot, if your disciple wants to fight, then fight, stop slandering my master with your bizarre accusations!"

Seeing Jie Dao openly mocking Chu Xuanji, Ye Fan became angry, "My master has lived an upright and honorable life; how can he be compared with you pseud-strong people?"

"In that case, Little Emperor, you go up there and slash him."

Hearing the words ’pseud-strong people’, Jie Dao became enraged and immediately wanted Bai Di to slay Ye Fan.

"Wait!"

However—

Before Bai Di could move, Gu Yun suddenly spoke up.

"Elder Gu, just now, everyone heard it — the Evil Emperor casually speaks of annihilating entire clans. If my disciple slays his today, will the Yanhuang Organization ensure our safety, as master and disciple?"

When Gu Yun spoke, Jie Dao remembered something and snickered coldly.

"Today, before all those present as witnesses, if my disciple Ye Fan is slain on the arena, I will take my own life on the spot!"

Chu Xuanji finally spoke. He didn’t retaliate against Jie Dao but, like Su Liuli, made a vow, staking his own head on it.

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it carried some sort of magic, clearly reaching every corner of the square and lingering for a long time.

In an instant, the vast Tian Shan Sword Sect was silent!

Whether it was the cultivators around the arena or the contestants and many strong people in the audience, they were all shocked by Chu Xuanji’s words!

Indeed...

They were truly shocked!

They never dreamt that Chu Xuanji, the second on the Dragon Ranking, known as the Evil Emperor and hailed as the global Savior, would, like Su Liuli, straightforwardly wager his own head!

"It seems that the Evil Emperor’s Disciple really does have the strength to contend with Bai Di, otherwise the Evil Emperor would never make such a decision!"

Amidst their shock, almost everyone made such a judgment in their hearts.

Because, in their eyes, for Chu Xuanji to wager his head was the greatest trust in Ye Fan, belief that Ye Fan must win!

"Brother Xuanji..."

Gu Yun was the first to snap out of his shock; he tried to say something.

"A word once spoken cannot be taken back even by a team of four horses."

Chu Xuanji’s expression was resolute.

Hearing Chu Xuanji’s words again, everyone understood that he was serious and not joking at all!

"Brother Xuanji, according to the schedule of this Qing bang tournament, it’s not yet time for these two to face off. If they fight now, it wouldn’t conform to the rules and would disrupt the schedule," Gu Yun said, after a moment of contemplation, speaking again.

Although he understood that since Chu Xuanji dared to bet his life, it implied that Ye Fan at least possessed the strength to battle Bai Di, he was also acutely aware that for Chu Xuanji, second of the Dragon Ranking and hailed as the global Savior, to wager his own life was extremely serious, serious enough that it wasn’t his place to decide, and naturally, he had to prevent it.

As his voice fell, seeing that Chu Xuanji was about to speak up again, Gu Yun quickly added, "How about this, Brother Xuanji, when the time comes for the two of them to meet, whether they want to have an official contest or engage in a life-and-death battle, I will not stop them. For now, let’s proceed with the competition as scheduled. What do you think?"

Chu Xuanji didn’t answer but turned his head to look at Ye Fan, allowing him to make his own decision.

"Next, we have today’s second match, please Dark Sect’s Ye Hei and the Evil Emperor’s Successor Ye Fan take the stage!"

Seeing this scene, Gu Yun immediately understood Chu Xuanji’s intentions, was struck with a thought, and promptly took the initiative to speak.

"Bai Di, cherish your last days," said Ye Fan, realizing what Gu Yun intended and not wanting to make things difficult for him, he then abandoned the decision to battle Bai Di that day.

Swoosh!

As his words ended, Ye Fan didn’t linger, with a spring in his step, he leapt onto the arena in two bounds.

"What exactly is the Evil Emperor’s Disciple relying on to kill Bai Di??"

Watching Ye Fan on the arena, almost everyone was asking themselves this question in their hearts.
